3 things everyone should know about Napa valley and Alexander valley wineries

I’ve spent a lot of time in Alexander valley exploring the different vineyards and Alexander valley wineries but it wasn’t until this last trip that I wanted to really dig into it. Surely, I wished to dig in the dirt of every place we stopped.
 I’ve always known the Alexander valley is a unique wine region based on its climate and terroir – the land and all the environmental factors that affect a crop.  Yet, I didn’t realize just how diverse. As I start this series of Napa Valley and Alexander Valley, the two wine regions I sipped my way through this past month, I wanted to share some of the fun wine facts every wine lover should know about Napa Valley and Alexander valley vineyards.

1. Alexander valley is one of the most renowned wine making regions in the world, but it is also one of the smallest.

2. While the Valley may be small but it is quite rich in minerals. It contains half of the soil orders that exist within the world. To put it in more accurate, Napa Valley contains 33 soil series with more than 100 soil variations.

3. White it is surely not a wine fact, it is definitely a great thing to know about Alexander valley vineyards.There are three “Old Faithful” geysers in the world and one of which is located near to Calistoga, just north of downtown Calistoga.  (This is a fun side trip when you’re in Napa Valley.)
