Both Diamond Creek and Araujo are wineries that you can't even taste their wine when you go because they do not have any left. They sell out in futures and do not do tours or wine tastings. They are both considered a Cult Cabernet. Araujo was the next place Dave got us into for a tasting and tour. Araujo, like Grgich Hills, practice Bio Dynamics and organic farming and is the reason Dave has come to know the wine maker. We had a wonderful visit and the barrel tasting was incredible. My parent's just had this wine for their 35th wedding anniversary at the French Laundry and it cost $350/ half bottle. I think Dave took us here so he has a good reason to buy this wine for special occasions!
