Discussion Thread Napa Recs?

Planning my 30th! Going for the weekend. Got Bouchon bistro Friday night and alpha omega on Saturday afternoon any other places or wineries? Thank you in advance.

Definitely check out charlies in st helena. You will eventually get burnt out from all the napa cabs so try to visit schramsberg or domaine carneros for some bubbles

Press is a great meal, I had one of my fave dishes ever (turnips? who knew?) there. I'm not sure Vinny Loseto from S22 is still there but I'd go anyway!

Press is owned/run by Phillip Tessier. Vinny is still there if he’s not busy doing bocuse d’or. Would highly recommend!

If you’re in Berkeley a stop at Kermit Lynch Wine Shop might be nice.
