Gonna be in Napa this weekend. Any suggestions on which winery to visit?
Silver Oak and Duckhorn! I don't like Opus wine but the building is really cool. I've heard that the tasting class at Joseph Phelps is the best. St. Supery has a cool self guided tour that has stations where you can stick your nose in a tube and smell all of the different things they use to describe wines like grass, blackberry, oak etc.
Clos Pegase has amazing art.
I also keep reading about a Sake "winery", obviously it has nothing to do with Napa and grapes but it seems like a cool place to do sake tastings. http://www.hakusan.com
Domaine Chandon DOES have awesome food, especially for lunch on the terrace! Tra Vigner is another favorite for dinner. Have fun!

this thing is the SWOIT!!!!
i had 1 when i lived in Key West
used it Outside with a fridge
Perfect 58f
ahhhhh drinking temp!!!
Be careful using refrigerators that were not designed for wine to keep your wine cool. Most non-wine refrigerators allow for a greater difference in temperature before turning on, and thus there is a greater temperature variation throughout the cycle. Wine specific refrigerators cycle on and off more frequently, thus keeping a more constant temperature. Also, since refrigeration drys air, most wine specific refrigerators add some moisture back to the cooled air.
On another note:
Napa, where is that? Is that the valley over the hills that gets nice and hot? Good for Cab and Merlot, but for your Chards and Pinots stick to Sonoma
If you are in the neighborhood LMK, I'd love to 'go tasting'
You are right for "your day to day and some decent wine its perfect" is probably correct.
I am not a big advocate of spending huge amounts of money on wine (I think you can get great wine for low cost if you search around). If you are, however, going to spend $1800/case on some wine, it seems as if you should be willing to spend at least the same amount for a proper place to store it?
Personally, I have been sticking with the imports, esp. those from North Berkley and Eric Solomon. The CA guys are just charging too much for their juice.
For CA, I like:
Walter Hansel
Limerick Lane
Roshambo
Mason
Lazy Creek
Dehlinger
