Tamber Bey, Napa Valley -- Wine and Cookie Tasting

image source

On a recent trip to Napa Valley, the boys and I stopped by the Tamber Bey tasting room in St. Helena. It was a real treat and a rather nice way to end the day in the Valley.  We had some promotional coupons and originally entered with the intent to taste just their wines but once we found out that we could have a side-by-side cookie-wine tasting, it was an idea too sweet to resist. ;)
Apparently they have a chef who created the cookie recipes exclusively for Tamber Bey's wines to create a perfect cookie-wine pairing.  While I'm all for pairing food and wine, (see here) the cookies were unbelievably tiny, I almost felt teased by the bite-sized portions. Then again, maybe I just have a big sweet tooth!

I'm always a fan of a big, bold Napa Cab so naturally one of my favorites was their

 2008 Oakville Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.

the bacon cookie was unexpectedly delish!}
