Although their green, lush estate was beautiful, it was their indoor operations that really stood out.  With 18 levels underground, the Palmaz cave takes winemaking up a notch, providing the vertical range needed for true gravity-flow winemaking, rather than aggravating pumping. The Palmaz matriach, Amalia, gave us an insightful tour throughout the vast caves and exuded old-world elegance the entire time in her killer 5-inch heels.  Whereas some wineries have a rustic feel, the Palmaz estate took an ornately chic approach.
