Castello di Amorosa

On January 25th Brian attended a Leadership conference with the YMCA who graciously hosted an evening at one of the newest wineries in Calistoga, Castello di Amorosa. It's a castle - truly, it is. They brought over brick, stone and iron works from Italy and other parts of Europe. Some of the brick even came from old fireplaces. It was awesome! It took 14 years and $40 million dollars to build this castle - complete with a church, drawbridge, and of course, a torture chamber!
