Going to Napa tomorrow...any recommendations? - GoFuckYourself.com

I'm heading over for a Napa day-trip tomorrow. Does anyone have any rec's for wineries I should visit? Hopefully somewhere that makes great reds and won't be overrun with tourists.

for reds you must try Duckhorn & Silver Oak. Rubicon is good too on the medium end. i like sterling but it is more tourist-ish.
eat at Ristorante Travigne http://www.travignerestaurant.com/

there is a small spot by duckhorn called dutch henry which is fantastic btw!! great olive oil and reds

Go to V. Sattuii Winey in St. Helena, awesome place.
Eat at Hurley's in Yountville on your way north, or visit Rutherford Grill on
your way to V. Sattuii. Check out their new castle winery!

I go to Napa 3-4 per year!

Name change. I love it as I could never pronounce the other before.

V. Sattui is actually on my list. I hear they've also got a market with good cheeses.

if mustards is still around that place is super fun, lot's of free samples to try, food wise.

auberge de soleil for dinner, it's off the beaten track and very nice! pricey though.

we always start off the drinkfest at domaine chandon

Thanks.

I've been wanting to change it for a while. I figured I'd go with my real name.

To eat here, http://www.aubergedusoleil.com/

This will cost you $400-$800 for dinner.
My brothers GF is a server there!

Great Food!

Great wine & food!

I was married at this winery

This place is a one stop shop, your wine tastings
are great and still free last I remember. Most places
charge now!

Great Food!

it really is a wonderful spot. if it's too pricey, you can enjoy a drink or 3 on the balcony and watch the sunset.

Clos Pegase is one of my favorite wineries to visit. The tours are fun and informative, and the winery includes a world-class art collection.

Others I enjoy are Stags' Leap, Ferrari-Carano (actually in Healdsburg), Silver Oak (great Cabernet), andZD (excellent Chadonnay).

There are many other fine wineries (too many for one trip), so pick a handful and have fun. Since it is a few hour drive from where I live, I like to stay overnight at the unique Bed and Breakfast establishments.

Rubicon (formerly Niebaum-Coppola) is fun to visit because it includes a museum of props from Francis Ford Coppola movies.

If you enjoy cooking, the Culinary Institute of America is delicious.

Finally, Opus One is outstanding, but rather pricey even for tasting.

As for dining, the Auberge du Soleil is less expensive for lunch and the view from the top of the hill is quite nice.

For fine dining in the evening, Cole's Chop House is great if you love steak, however, if you want some excellent choices from an eclectic menu, then I recommend Terra in St Helena (my favorite restaurant in the Napa Valley region).

Have a fun trip...

I was going to say "be sure to visit COPIA" but they closed

I've attended serious wine tastings there; the center of California's wine industry, its closing is a sad testament to changing times...
