about
  The Napa Wine Project is researched and maintained by David Thompson. He has been a wine enthusiast for many years and in 2006 created this project. He has personally visited each physical winery (if applicable), met with a representative & tasted from 670+ active commercial Napa wine producers reviewed on this site. He is responsible for all research, winery visits & revisits, winery reviews, tasting notes, photography and updates.

California raised, he attended college on California's Central Coast & while there, co-founded a collegiate Solar Racing Team which designed and built a solar car from scratch. Dave is founder and editor of a popular international travel site (since 1996), Dave's Travel Corner and affiliated travel blog, Above the Clouds. He runs a website promoting Olympic Gold Medalist and currently undefeated WBA World Super Middleweight champion
Boxer, Andre Ward, is involved with VinoVisit (a winery reservation company).

A wine writer should definitely get his hands dirty and Dave helps out at Tedeschi Family Winery in Calistoga. His first book titled, "The Freeways of Los Angeles" was published in 2010. We also offer customized private wine tours: Dave's Napa Valley Wine Tours.

We strive to keep our reviews updated but the wine industry is fluid like its wine and things do change unbelievably quickly. If you spot a review that needs updating or notice anything incorrectly posted on the site, please Email Us asap. A huge thanks goes out to all the Napa vintners and wineries we have met with to date.
