W
ine Garage founder Todd Miller drilled a couple of holes in
the wall at his bustling Calistoga wine shop nearly two years
ago in anxious anticipation of having his own winery’s juice
flowing from one side of the wall to happy customers waiting on the
other side.
Well, it took a while, but the Wine Garage winery is finally open
for business. From those holes in the wall now hang a couple of fabri-
cated stainless steel nozzles, and out of them flow two righteous and
delicious blends, B1 (a Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon,
Carmenere, Merlot and Petit Verdot) and R1 (a Rhone-style blend of
Syrah, Zinfandel, Grenache, Mourvedre and Petite Sirah). “My biggest
problem,” says Miller, “is that customers can’t decide which to buy
because they love them both so much.”
And with good reason. Miller bought the
individual lots of finished wine that make up from grapes they crush. For reds they offer a

toga. Miller drove the roads less traveled, meeting with winemakers,
walking in their vineyards, and tasting their grapes, barrel samples
and finished wines. The winemakers, tickled to have a real, live wine
buyer at their winery, shared stories with Miller over a glass of wine
at the dinner table.
The Wine Garage carries a wide selection of bargains from Sonoma
and Napa, and gems from as far afield as Paso Robles, Lodi, the Sierra
Foothills and Mendocino County. The store still doesn’t carry any
wines priced over $25, and Miller doesn’t buy a wine for the store
unless he loves it. What’s best is the Wine Garage staff takes the guess-
work out of wine shopping: tell the staff what you’re looking for and
they will steer you to the perfect bottle.
The Wine Garage is now a licensed winery, and in addition to the
blends on tap, they produce a line of their own Wine Garage wines
