What if we could capture style and hold it in a bottle? What if heritage and promise could be entwined? What if personality— audacious, passionate, unique, subtle, mysterious—was revealed from one bottle to another by a Number, until it was all held within a limited collection of fine wines? The answer to these questions is JCB, a new way of exploring taste and style, shared in the luxurious JCB Lounge in the Napa Valley.

By-appointment only, the JCB Lounge offers embraces a new height of luxury, uniting the worlds of wine and fashion in a luxurious tasting experience that illuminates and then transcends terroir, reaching beyond the traditional confines of wine to embody style and sophistication.

Before there were vineyards in every valley north of San Francisco, before Napa and Sonoma were house-hold names, before there was a California wine world at all, there was Buena Vista. Founded in 1857, Buena Vista is California’s first premium winery, and its

history is as colorful as it is proud. The founder of the winery, the Count of Buena Vista, has been called the Father of California Viticulture for his introduction of innovative winegrowing techniques, his championing improvements in the quality of grapes, and his steadfast and tireless promotion of California’s ability to become one of the greatest fine wine regions in the world.

Press HoUse tastiNg room The Press House, when completed in 1862, was the first gravity-flow winery in California. Today, it is a dramatic tasting room steeped in wine lore.
