At times, it’s hard to tell which is man’s best friend. A dog? Or wine?

Visitors can indulge in fine wines while their pets are pampered at Frenchie Winery, located at Raymond Vineyards in Napa Valley’s Rutherford district.

Frenchie, so named for proprietor Jean-Claude Boisset’s beloved French Bulldog, is a tasting room for dogs. While pet parents visit the Raymond tasting room, their pooches can   relax in a kennel furnished with dog beds crafted from wine barrels. A bar dispenses fresh water.

In the tasting room for people, pet-lovers can keep an eye on their four-footed friends via doggie cam. They also can savor the first two Frenchie reds produced at the winery.

Even before you taste Frenchie, the bottle gets your attention. In fact, after you enjoy the wine, you will be tempted not to recycle its charming container.

The labels depict portraits of  Frenchie at great moments in history. On the 2009 Red Blend, Frenchie poses as Napoleon at his coronation. The emperor would have no doubt enjoyed the wine, with flavors of blackberries, raspberries and cassis and notes of oak.

On the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon, Frenchie is perched on a rearing stallion, a la Louis XIV, the Sun King who reigned for 72 years. The cab is well structured and a long finish. Expect blackberries, cocoa and a hint of vanilla.

The suggested retail price for each wine is $30. (A Chardonnay with Frenchie dolled up like Marie Antoinette is currently sold out. Frenchie’s reply to the masses: Let them drink cake!)

The winery will donate $1 from each sale to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. If you take your dog to Frenchie’s winery, expect Fido to be treated like royalty.
