Winemaker Sally Johnson was one of a panel of test drivers for the Robb Report’s upcoming “Car of the Year” issue. After hosting the eclectic panel of test drivers, made up of car aficionados and philanthropists, for a pre-event dinner at Pride Mountain Vineyards on Thursday, November 6th, Sally and the group spent following day rating the performance of thirteen luxury sports cars by zooming through the back roads of the Napa Valley. Though the identity of the cars is top secret until the magazine is published, Sally tells us to expect some surprises among this range of innovative cars. She promises a well-rounded selection that offers something for everyone – from over-the-top luxury models to exhilarating speedsters and cutting-edge vehicles leading the charge towards breakthroughs in performance and efficiency.

Her personal favorite? You'll have to wait till the issue hits newsstands in March, 2009 to read all about it.
