Yesterday, I wrote that I could not find Niebaum-Coppola.
In fact, its name had been changed to Rubicon Estate.
No wonder I could not find it.
They have also started charging an admission fee of 25 dollars, which includes a tasting of 5 varieties.
As a result, the place, which used to be packed, is now nearly empty. Apparently, they did this because it had become far too crowded with people who had no interest in wine.
The wines available there are branded Rubicon rather than Coppola. Their quality, however, has improved. The museum remains as it was before. I was told that the Coppola brand is produced at another winery in Sonoma.
It has become very quiet, but it also seems to have lost some of its glamour, which feels a little sad.
