3 Doors Down is a "garagiste" winery located within the town of Napa. The city of Napa allows one to actually bond part of your garage and driveway as a winery which is what 3 Doors Down has done. We have visited a number of garagiste wineries within Napa, but this is definitely one of the smaller ones! This is a Napa winery well under the radar with a lot of potential. They are completely family run - the Italian Isola family manages the winery ranging from grandfather Charles who has made homemade wine for a long time, to his two sons Joseph and Lee and John the grandson. Their first commercial vintage was in 2002 however they have made home wine since 1995 entering at various statewide and county competitions. As John says, eventually the judges became "tired" of seeing them take all the gold medals and started encouraging them to make wine commercially.
