We spent the day in Napa with our “Wine Enthusiast” group (yes, very geeky). Our first stop was at the brand new Jacuzzi winery. It’s so new that’s it not even finished, but we got a sneak peak. The wine and the cheese were awesome, even at 11am. Among other things, the Jacuzzis invented the airplane propeller and, you guessed it, the Jacuzzi.
Then onto Yountville for the museum viewing and lunch. We had gourmet box lunches in a lovely little park in Yountville (next to John Yount's grave) and tasted a Pinot vertical.
We then parted way up Hwy 29, over to Silverado Trail to skirt the traffic in St. Helena, back to 29, and up into the castle winery on the hill where I met V.Sattui himself (more geekiness, he's the owner)!
Oh my - my dream - to be part of a wine enthusiasts group!! So if that makes you geeky, well so am I!
