La Crema - Welcome to Grappos!

Founded in 1979, La Crema quickly established a reputation for their intensely flavored, handcrafted Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Since then, they've continued that tradition and their wines have been called "the ultimate expression of the Russian River Valley, Carneros and Anderson Valley." Most of their wines are easy to find, but 6 of them are only available from La Crema or at the tasting room, located at 235 Healdsburg Ave.

In fact, if you're in the area, check out their beautiful tasting room for one of their pairing events.

La Crema is using a Grappos store locator on their website and Facebook page. They're widely distributed, so you shouldn't have a problem finding their wines locally. For the month of September, you'll be able to find all of their wines in the "Top Picks" tab of the Grappos iPhone app.

Introducing the Grappos iPhone app

People used to ask us all the time, "Does Grappos have an iPhone app?" Well, I'm proud to finally say that we do!

It's FREE and you can download it here.

The app has all of the functionality of the website, plus two added features that make it really useful while on the go: GPS-enabled search and a personalized "favorites" list.

Give it a spin and let us know what you think. We're working on new features for the 2.0 release. Follow @grappos on Twitter for more news and updates.
