Titus Vineyards is a second-generation, family-owned and farmed estate set on 50 historic acres along the Silverado Trail just north of St. Helena, at the base of Howell Mountain. The Titus family has farmed the property since 1969, and today the estate is led by brothers Eric and Phillip Titus, carrying forward a half-century of Napa Valley winegrowing and land stewardship.

And to kick off Longhorns football 2026, we want to share one of our favorite cocktails, The Burnt Orange.
In a bowl-shaped (Burgundy) glass: 1 (quite) large ice cube or ice sphere, pour in 6.8 ounces (the entire contents of a 200 ml bottle) of Fever Tree Club Soda, then 4 or more ounces (depending on the sharpness of the edge of the day) Crémant de Bourgogne or other preferred dry sparkling wine, and 1½ to 2 ounces of Contratto Apéritif. Stir gently/briefly. Garnish, if you like, with a nice swath or large twist of fresh orange peel. Et voilà ! Consume with or without a sunset. Guaranteed to refresh all those who would be refreshed.
