Nearly four years since the harrowing Glass Fire took the winery and much of the vineyard in 2020, Cain is finally releasing the first estate-grown Cain Five to come from the Cain Vineyard after the fire. “Cain is like no other vineyard in the world. It started with a vision and now has become a reality,” says Wine-Grower, Chris Howell. “And even more impressive, it’s a reality that can’t be destroyed by fire. This wine is undeniably, still Cain.”

Chris Howell and Katie Lazar, winegrowers and co-general managers of Cain Vineyard & Winery, based in Napa Valley’s Spring Mountain District, will host a public tasting in celebration of the 2021 Cain Five estate bottling, “The Phoenix” on Sunday, Aug. 18, from noon to 3 p.m. at Folklore Napa, located at 1226 3rd St. The 2021 bottling is the first vintage of Cain Five since the winery and much of the iconic vineyard burned in the 2020 Glass Fire.

In addition to the very limited production 2021 Cain Five, guests will have the opportunity to taste other current releases, including the 2011 Cain Five and the NV15 Cain Cuvée, paired with some light bites. Tickets are $55 per person and are available online at Eventbrite.
