Claudia Sandoval Instagram – Some gifts are too extraordinary for words — but this is my attempt…
There are days you never forget — and this was one of them. As a birthday gift, my incredible friend Marino Monferrato and the amazing team at DAOU Vineyards created an experience so special, I’m still trying to believe it was real. 🥺
We rode through the sun-soaked vineyards in the Patrimony Grand Wagoneer, with every turn revealing more of DAOU Mountain’s breathtaking beauty. We toured the private barrel room, tasting wines straight from the barrel — wines few will ever have the chance to experience. We shared caviar, sipped truly extraordinary vintages, and felt like the only people in the world for a day.
To share this once-in-a-lifetime moment with some of the most important people in my life was a privilege beyond words.
Social media might prefer a 15-second video… but this day deserves its own series.
Marino, you didn’t just win — you gave me a memory I will treasure forever. I love you so much and feel beyond honored to call you my friend. | Posted on 27/Apr/2025 22:42:08
