The building was built with stone by Bavarian Philip Pfeiffer who wanted a brewery. In 1879 Gotthelp Barth purchased the brewery and expanded it.\u00a0 Two years later in 1881 a fire\u00a0 destroyed the expansion. The brewery was stopped and turned into the Stone Saloon. A brothel for the well-to-do occupied the second floor of the saloon.<\/p>\n<p>Beginning in 1918 the building was occupied by different businesses and at one it served as a home.\u00a0 Other business since 1918 have included: an Italian grocery, Fred Peper\u00a0 Saloon, Betterchix Hatchery, Sam Key Laundry and Andrew\u2019s Meat Co. In 2002 the Vintner\u2019s Collective took over the premises.<\/p>\n<p>At first glance it might seem that with all of the wineries in Napa Valley a wine shop would be overlooked. However, the Vintner\u2019s Collective offers Napa Valley wines from wineries where appointments might be required or wineries that may not have their own tasting rooms.<\/p>\n<p>The Vintner\u2019s Collective is open 11am to 6pm every day. The wine shop has four tasting to choose from.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enthusiast Pathfinder (no appointment necessary) $10<\/li>\n<li>Connoisseur, Scout \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (no appointment necessary) $30<\/li>\n<li>Collector, Explorer\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (appointment only) $65<\/li>\n<li>Aficionado, Trailblazer (appointment only) $95<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The list of wineries working with\u00a0\u00a0 the Vintner\u2019s Collective include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ancien Wines<\/li>\n<li>Azur<\/li>\n<li>Big Boy Cabernets<\/li>\n<li>Buoncristiani<\/li>\n<li>Clark-Claudon Vineyards<\/li>\n<li>D Cubed<\/li>\n<li>Flanagan<\/li>\n<li>Gemella Wines<\/li>\n<li>JC Cellars<\/li>\n<li>Krupp Brothers<\/li>\n<li>Lamborn Family Vineyards<\/li>\n<li>Las Bonitas<\/li>\n<li>Longfellow<\/li>\n<li>Melka Wines<\/li>\n<li>Mi Sue\u00f1o Winery<\/li>\n<li>Parallel<\/li>\n<li>Richard Perry<\/li>\n<li>Roy Estate<\/li>\n<li>Tela<\/li>\n<li>Tournesol<\/li>\n<li>Vinoce<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The next time we visit Napa Valley we hope to stop by the Vintner\u2019s Collective.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<\/p>\n<p>Kathy<\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"owbutton\" src=\"http:\/\/www.onlywire.com\/button\" title=\"Visit the Vintner's Collective in Napa Valley\" url=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/?p=10257\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vintner\u2019s Collective in Napa Valley has survived since 1875.
