I had read about this place, from the Chef's at the Border Grill, and had always wanted to try it, and my girlfriend had been there and enjoyed it, so we decided to go and have a nice evening meal. Their was an excellent hispanic band playing, and we got amazing seats on the patio right in front of them, as well as excellent breads and dips (one tasted like hummus and one an olive dip of sorts). And the food and drinks could not have been better. Really excellent.

Picked this up at Victor's Liquors, asking for a $20-$30 red to go with Pizza, and was told this was too good for Pizza (and it was way too good for the pizza we got), and they were right. This was an excellent wine, and delicious.

A gorgeous vineyard all the way around, without the most impressive wine though. Not bad, but not my favorite, but well worth checking out, and with some very cool memorabilia from Coppola's movie.

This is the oldest continually running Winery in Napa, since they made it through prohibition by making Medicinal and Religious wine. It was recently sold to Fosters, but is still run the same. The best tour we went on in the valley.

I had been fiending for some good pizza and red wine after hearing how well they go together in Napa, but it was getting late, and we wanted to order, and I had this menu around. I must say I was very unimpressed all the way around. Stay away from this place.

Excellent Indian food, the spiciest I have had at a restaurant, with a full bar. A little bit pricy, and they screwed up my check, but it is well worth checking out if you like Indian food.

I admit it, we only went to this winery because it is the only free wine tasting left in the valley, but it was well worth it, and even ordered 6 bottles of wine from their. Their is a reason they have a free tasting, and you can only get their wine there, or from their web site, it is not carried in any store, so you really must try it out.

Excellent food and excellent service. A great french menu, though it was a little hot out on the patio, but that wasn't their fault. Sure it is a bit pricy, but certainly worth checking out.

A very tasty Italian cafe in Napa, near the visitor information center where we learned about Napa, and where we wanted to go. Tasty food, with decent wine, though the waitress seemed a little new, and screwed up my girlfriends order.
