Wine Tasting in Yountville
The Napa Valley is world renowned for its food and wine.
Boasting some of the best wineries and restaurants in America,
tourists flock to Napa to experience its rustic elegance. Among
the small towns that comprise the Napa Valley, Yountville is
quickly gaining the reputation as one of the premier
destinations.
Founded by George Yount in 1836, Yountville is one of Napa's
most storied towns. Its rich history has provided the building
blocks for the success of this bustling community. The
combination of fine dining and premium wineries make Yountville
a hallmark of the Napa Valley.
The most important landmark in Yountville is also one of the
oldest wineries in the Napa Valley. Built in 1870 by San
Francisco native Gottlieb Groezinger, Vintage 1870 is now one of
the main attractions in Yountville. Today, Vintage 1870 is the
central part of an upscale shopping center, which includes high
end clothing, galleries, jewelry, fine dining and wine tasting.
The Vintage 1870 shopping center is truly a playground for those
who enjoy the finer things in life.
The selection of fine dining in Yountville can prove
irresistible to even the most reserved of individuals. At the
top of the fine dining chain in Yountville is Thomas Keller's
French Laundry. The French Laundry is regarded by many in the
restaurant industry as the best in America. In fact, it was
actually designated, "the best restaurant in the world," by
Restaurant Magazine in 2003.
If you are able to get yourself on the three month waiting list,
be prepared take out a second mortgage to pay the bill. Aside
from the price, dining at the French Laundry is pleasure of all
senses. The ambiance is unbeatable, the service is impeccable,
and the food is a masterpiece of culinary perfection.
Although the French Laundry is the crux of Yountville's
restaurant community, there are many others that have excellent
food and service for reasonable prices. Of these, the cr�me de
la cr�me include Bouchon, Brix Restaurant, Napa Valley Grille,
Hurley's, Bocconcini Cantinetta, Bistro Jeanty, and the
Restaurant at Domaine Chandon.
Even by Napa Valley standards, the fine dining of Yountville is
unbeatable. But wine is what makes this small town go round. The
restaurants in Yountville would not be as successful as they are
without the influx of tourists that the wineries bring in. As
one of the first regions in the Napa Valley to produce wine,
Yountville is a great place to take wine tours.
Located in the heart of the Napa Valley, Yountville enjoys a
long, methodical growing season. The weather is moderated by the
coastal fog that creeps along the valley floor from the San
Pablo Bay. By mid day, the fog burns off, leaving the vineyards
exposed to the vibrant rays of the sun. This sun expose makes
Yountville well suited for growing Bordeaux varietals.
It is no surprise that the majority of acreage planted in
Yountville is Cabernet Sauvignon. These grapes produce
restrained Cabs that are not only approachable in their youth,
but are excellent when paired with food. They can typically be
enjoyed earlier than their northern counterparts.
When deciding which wineries to visit in Yountville, it is
important to prioritize your trip around what you want to
experience. In my opinion, you cannot go wrong with Cliff Lede
Winery. A narrow strip of land just off Highway 29 is home to
the winery. The beautiful views from their vineyards pale in
comparison to their flagship Cabernet Sauvignon.
If you do not get a chance to visit this up and coming winery,
there are several others that produce a wide variety of premium
quality wines. Among these, Domaine Chandon produces fine
sparkling wines in the tradition of Old World Champagne houses.
Their property includes a beautiful vineyard, chateau style
winery and restaurant.
Domaine Chandon features a wide array of tours to please all of
your senses. Their services ranges from their complementary tour
to the all inclusive "Epicurean Experience," which includes chef
selected food and wine pairings along with dinner reservations
at their restaurant after the tour.
The tours at Domaine Chandon epitomize the town of Yountville,
and provide the visitor the opportunity to enjoy the finer
aspects of wine and food. With the number of quality restaurants
and wineries in such a small region, Yountville should be at the
top of your list when visiting the Napa Valley.

When you are still in the choosing stages of your wine basket gift there are some questions that you should ask yourself about the occasion and the recipient of the wine basket. These questions can help you to find out just the right wine basket for this person on this very special occasion.
First you have to ask yourself who will be getting this wine basket. Are you giving it to someone that you work with or a family member or a friend? And is the recipient a man or a woman? These sorts of questions matter because men like a different sort of wine basket gift than many women. You see, women often like to get a wine basket that has some pretty wine glasses in it or a great corkscrew while men just want to be able to drink the wine or put it on display for other wine enthusiasts to drool over.
