Wine Spectator: Harlan Estate Owner Launches New Members-Only Napa Venture

- Napa Valley Reserve will allow wine lovers to participate in wine production at their own private "club." - Daniel Sogg Dec 2003

"Entrepreneur Bill Harlan is lifting the curtain on an ambitious new project unlike anything yet attempted in Napa Valley. Called Napa Valley Reserve, the concept will allow members to participate hands-on in every phase of wine production, from viticulture to packaging."

"Under the supervision of Harlan Estate winemaker Bob Levy, a fulltime winemaker will direct the operation. The heart of the idea is to supply the satisfactions of wine production without the expense, risk or responsibility of actual winery or vineyard ownership."

What is The Napa Valley Reserve?

"The Napa Valley Reserve vineyards are overseen by the Harlan family viticultural team. These talented artisans have a keen understanding of the seasons of a vineyard and a mastery of the art of hand-crafting wines using time-honored traditions in balance with new practices and techniques." - The Napa Valley Reserve

Now you can own and drink an extraordinary and rare The Napa Valley Reserve without the $160K Membership fee!
