This Calistoga gem rebuilt itself from the ashes, literally: a 1900s winery destroyed by fire got a stunning second life when Mike and Sandy Davis completed a new winery, cave, and hospitality center in 2016, complete with a restored barn and cave-aged Cabernet Sauvignon that'll make you understand the hype.
