The three shot series above was taken from a hill overlooking the Franciscan Estates in Napa Valley, California. Johanna, the owner of Goshen Wine & Spirits, has visited many vineyards over the years to deepen her knowledge. Private tours and personal meetings with winemakers have helped her better understand - firsthand - the natural attributes of different growing regions and the vinefication philosophies of different producers. (See the highlights page for an article and photos summarizing one of her trips.)
Johanna attends a wine seminar in France in 2004.
Experience and knowledge have helped to make Goshen Wine & Spirits the best wine shop in northwestern Connecticut. The success is as much a tribute to genuine, friendly, helpful service as it is to the breadth and depth of the selection.

At GW&S, we know that taste is a subjective thing, and it's not always the more expensive bottle that best suits one's palate or the occasion. We are not here to force-feed preconceived notions of what is good and what is not. We aren't here to try to push products on you. We are here learn what you enjoy, so we can custom tailor our recommendations.
