Premiere Napa Valley is an annual barrel tasting and wine auction held every February and open only to the wine and beverage trade. Napa's vintners make one-of-a-kind cuvees for the auction.

Château L’IF is owned by Jacques Thienpont, famous for buying Château Le Pin decades ago and turning it into the most celebrated Right Bank cult Bordeaux. L’IF is adjacent to Château Troplong Mondot and makes cuvées that are up to 90% Merlot.

Darioush Khaledi grew up in Iran’s Shiraz winemaking region, where his father made wine as a hobby. Years later, after building a California grocery store chain, Darioush too turned to winemaking, producing luxury cuvées In Napa Valley.
