Where to eat in Napa Valley

Wine

General info about the wine country: napavintners.com

A few “must see” wineries:

Biale: Visit my friends Bob Biale and Dave Pramuk and sample the best zinfandel wines in California.

Food:

The French Laundry is considered by many to be the best fine dining restaurant in America. Chef Thomas Keller is a legend. You will at least want to try his less formal but also wonderful restaurants Bouchon Bistro and Ad Hoc. thomaskeller.com
