And I'm going to ignore the comment about orange soda-flavored wine. (HERESY!) Went last year to Napa with my wife and a couple we are really good friends with. Did sort of our own self guided tour to some of the places we wanted to see and then did one of those bus tours the next day. Let just say our own tour blew the bus one out of the water. Anyway, the bus takes us to one bad place after another... until we reached the pinnacle of our tour when the guy behind the bar at one stop actually described the wine tast as a 'watermelon Jolly Rancher'. Yeah... ummm... NO! *snerk* Okay, yeah, that's pretty awful. There are some good wineries and some great ones, but there are also some really bad ones. Glad your experience in Napa wasn't limited to the bus tour! Yeah... me, too!! On our own tour, we really liked Trefethen, Cakebread, Duckhorn and Jarvis the most. There are so many out there but your palate kind of loses its senses after more than a couple days of tasting. We are talking about taking another trip out to continue our tour. Cakebread is GREAT. I don't think I've tried the others. If you have time on your next trip, Opus One, Silver Oak, and Chateau Montelena are all excellent. (Chateau Montelena was one of the wines in the 1976 "Judgment of Paris" tasting that put California wines on the map. So was Stag's Leap, but I don't think they're open to the public.) I'll second my like of Cakebread, but only certain vines. Same with Trefethen. Had them, for the first time, back in '98 or '99. Really good Cab back then. They are getting easier to get and cheaper. You can get a decent Chardonnay for less than $30, at least here in Chicago.

We went to Opus One. The building design was awesome! The view from the rooftop balcony was great. Wine was good but more of an investment wine than actually enjoying, IMHO. We Soooo wanted to do Silver Oak but didn't make it over there. |

I've never been to Bouchon (or the French Laundry, for that matter.... *sigh*) but I have the cookbook! Amazing! |
