Westborn Is Committed to Educating Their Staff- Tour of Merryvale's Historic Winery









To better serve our customers, we realize that it starts with knowledge and passion for what we do. As an example of this commitment, we recently took our wine specialist, Rene Parks and our Operations Manager, James Moran on an educational excursion to Napa Valley, California.

Pictured outside of Merryvale is Rene and James with the president of Westborn Market, Mark Anusbigian. During this visit our team was exposed to Merryvale's full product portfolio, their unique harvesting and wine making techniques and a glimpse into the future of the winery. All of this first-hand knowledge allows us to better educate our guests as they look to our experts for recommendations and guidance in their wine purchasing decisions.

A few facts about Merryvale-

The first winery built in Napa Valley following the repeal of Prohibition, Merryvale is located in the heart of America's premier wine region. Beautiful landscaped gardens accented with an elegant fountain greet our guests at our historic winery, ideally located in downtown St. Helena, adjacent to the renowned Tra Vigne restaurant and Taylor’s Refresher and within walking distance of excellent shopping and dining.

Pumpkins – the ultimate symbol of fall.

Their pleasing shapes and warm colors remind us of the smoky sweet glow of jack-o’-lanterns at Halloween and the taste of pumpkin pie by Thanksgiving. But when it comes to culinary charisma or decorative charm, not all pumpkins are created equal. Many heirloom varieties break the “round, orange” mold by offering different shapes, textures and unlikely colors like salmon, blue-gray and green. Such nontraditional pumpkins add uniqueness to fall decorating and bring amazing flavor to favorite pumpkin recipes.

Now at Westborn for only 49 cents a pound.

They are best for fresh eating and also a great addition to salads!
