The Silverado Trail: Jan 15th

The next time you visit Napa Valley, spend your time on The Silverado Trail and forget about the main road including the wine train. The Silverado Trail is just so pretty and more fun! We started at Lava Vineyard run by two super cool guys - Adam and Pete and their flock of chickens and a goose. The best Chenin Blanc I've ever had. And ended the next day at sunset with glasses of bubbly on the 'Mumm' terrace. A moment of pure bliss.

The really nice thing about Napa and Sonoma is that many of the vineyards are still privately owned and many simply distribute their wines via wine clubs or the internet. Many of them have little picnic areas where you can bring your lunch and enjoy their wines. It makes the wine tasting so much more intimate and personal ...and the wine is good. Zinfindel, Cab Savs, Merlots, Sauvignons, Chardonays. Delicious.
