Favorite Haunts in Napa Valley

1. Coffee at Peet's.
2. Bagette and 2 French cheeses from Whole Foods--taken straight to St. Clement Winery.

What a gorgeous view from the deck of this Victorian mansion.  We savored our peaceful afternoon.
3. Tour and supper further north--at the new Francis Coppola Winery and Spa/Resort.  We get the "family pass," which is $100 off, in appreciation from their corporate pilot.  We manage to spend a little extra at the bar, gift shop, and the Rustic Restaurant.  Another outdoor patio with an amazing view, where we polished off a huge steak and veggies from the Argentinian grill with some excellent Malbec.   Don't forget the deep chocolate mousse and homemade blackberry-and-peach tart.  We are too full to try out the Bocce courts this time.
