THE VINE KEY
Charlie Portello has spent 26 years in Napa and Sonoma hospitality, hosting guests from first-time visitors to serious collectors. Along the way came the relationships that matter: the winemakers who will pour from the library, the chefs who will cook in a private home, the hoteliers and hosts who hold the best rooms. Charlie still drives and hosts many Vine Key days personally, so the person who plans your day is often the one who opens the door.
