March 19. 2026

Vineyard 29

(Napa Valley)

Join us this Thursday for a special tasting with Nora Comee of Vineyard 29, one of Napa Valley’s most acclaimed estates. Discover a lineup of beautifully crafted, small-production wines that showcase the depth, elegance, and power of this iconic vineyard. Wines from this tasting will be available for pre-order only.

We’ll be pouring four standout selections, all available now for pre-order at a special sale price:

  • 2022 Cru Cabernet Sauvignon (92 pts, Jeb Dunnuck) – “Beautiful red and black fruits, new leather, graphite, and floral incense notes emerge from the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Cru, a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Merlot. Medium to full-bodied, round, and textured, with fine tannins, this nicely balanced effort will drink well for 8-10 years.”Reg. $79.99/Sale Price $70
  • 2023 Ceandra Cabernet Sauvignon (95+ pts, Jeb Dunnuck)– “The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Ceanda exhibits darker, black and blue fruits, cassis, plums, graphite, scorched earth, spicy oak, and freshly sharpened pencil nuances. Aged 20 months in 70% new barrels, this 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petite Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc blend is medium to full-bodied and has a concentrated, pure, focused mouthfeel, rock-solid tannins, and a great finish. This brilliant 2023 needs 4-5 years of bottle age and will evolve for well over two decades. Drink 2029-2050.”Reg. $149.99/Sale Price $134
  • 2021 Aida Cabernet Sauvignon(97 pts, Jeb Dunnuck) – “Another gem of a wine from this estate, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Aida Estate includes 1% Petit Verdot and spent 20 months in French oak. It has a darker red and blue-slanted fruit profile as well as some classic tobacco, scorched earth, and graphite aromatics. These all carry to a medium to full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with a seamless, layered, elegant mouthfeel, ripe, building tannins, and a pure, focused style that will benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age. The balance, purity, and sheer class here are top notch, and this will see its 20th birthday in fine form.”Reg. $264.99/Sale Price $238
  • 2021 V29 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (98 pts, Jeb Dunnuck) – “All varietal, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon 29 Estate was aged 20 months in 83% new French oak. It reminds me of a great vintage of Pichon Baron in Bordeaux and has a stunning nose of blackcurrants, smoke tobacco, graphite, and lead pencil shavings. With full-bodied richness and incredible density and extract on the mid-palate, this structured, flawlessly balanced, gorgeous 2021 will benefit from 3-5 years of bottle age and cruise for two decades in cold cellars.”Reg. $264.99/Sale Price $238

I was born on 6 August 1956 in San Francisco, California to Janet and (the late) Richard Hovis. I grew up in Santa Monica, California where I attended elementary, junior high school, and high school (graduating in 1974), in addition to involvement in sports and recreation (Little League +, the Boy’s Club ++). Further, it was in elementary school – St. Augustine’s By-the -Sea Parish School that I found, and made the choice to truly journey with God. I attended Arizona State University from 1974 to 1977 – seeking to become an architect, however, I was not accepted, and, as such, I graduated with a Liberal Arts degree. Upon graduation from Arizona State University, I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and studied City and Regional Planning at the Master’s level. I successfully completed one (1) year in a two (2) year program – I did not complete the Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning – due to personal reasons. I returned to Santa Monica where I started (October 1979) my career as graphic designer with Exxon Company, USA. I spent five years with Exxon Company, USA. While working with Exxon Company, USA I was accepted into architectural school – Sci-Arc in Southern California, however, I did not attend preferring to stay with Exxon.. In 1982 I married Laura Flosi and in April 1983 we had our one and only child – Lauren Alain Hovis – a gift from God. We moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1984 from Los Angeles, where I went to work as a graphic designer with Kitchell CEM (from 1985 -1987). From 1987 – 1995 I was an independent contractor, and a registered representative in mortgage finance, financial management, graphic design, and drafting. Further, I attended the University of Phoenix and successfully obtained a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) in 1982. I was also a member of the Scottsdale Jaycees, where I became very involved in community events and projects. In 1994, I accepted a cartography position with the Defense Mapping Agency in Reston, Virginia. As such, I relocated from Phoenix to Reston. In 1998, I was accepted and worked as a Visual Information Officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2002, I worked as a Support Officer until my retirement (due to a need for shoulder surgery) in September 2018. Away from my Federal Government service, I have been involved in various organizations and activities in Northern Virginia. In November of 2011, I married Rebecca Ouellette in Santa Monica, California. I reside in San Tan Valley, AZ with my two hamster - Jess and Timothy, our fish, our lizard - RJ Lizard., and our cats - Pearl and Grey. As to hobbies, I enjoy playing sports, attending sporting events, mentoring individuals from financial management to hamsters, building models, photography, travel, multimedia design, managing partner for RJ Hamster, and jazz – smooth jazz to a samba or a bossa nova. Love and God Bless, Peter – aka RJ Hamster Jo hi
