We are always on the lookout for exciting news from the wine world and we were delighted to recently read an article about our very own customer, Stuart Spoto of Spoto Wines. While many of you may be familiar with big name Napa Valley wines, there are also outstanding wines coming from smaller producers like Spoto. The Spoto family has been hand-crafting wines for over 30 years. Stuart Spoto learned the art of winemaking from his father Henry Spoto Jr. who was featured in Wine Spectator for his award-winning wines in June of 2003. This family collaboration has greatly influenced Stuart to create his small boutique winery and perfect his Oakville Bordeaux blends. Spoto, who runs his winery out of his Arden Oaks, CA home, recently turned heads at the Taste of Oakville held in April at the Robert Mondavi Winery. The event was jam packed with wine merchants, media and wine lovers eager to taste high-end wines from Napa’s Oakville appellation. Attendees raved that Spoto Wines were among the best in the whole tasting, and Stuart finished the event by adding several new customers to his roster. We look forward to seeing Spoto Wines join the growing list of Skolnik Stainless Steel Wine Barrel customers appearing on exclusive Chicago restaurant wine lists in the near future! Congratulations!
