August 2007 was quite an eventful month and we’ve got a lot of wonderful comments from you, our readers, to share this time around.
On our way to grab some dinner one evening, we were stopped by the Napa Valley Wine Train and we snapped a few photos as it passed by. We asked if anyone [...]
The Napa Valley is pretty much known for one thing, and one thing only: wine. Further, one could argue that Napa is synonymous with Cabernet Sauvignon. That being said, if you’re not into wine, there are plenty of other activities to chose from–spas, golf, biking, hiking and more.

My husband and I were recently in the Napa area visiting family and at the last minute decided to book a massage. After calling the familiar spas in the area and finding they were all booked up, it was time to do a Google search and see what other options we might find. We came [...]

Beaulieu Vineyard (or BV for short), the hundred-something-year-old Napa Valley winery, announced yesterday that its wines will once again be featured at the upcoming 59th Primetime Emmy Awards celebration.
BV will be pouring its 2003 Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (suggested retail price is $100/ 750 ml bottle) at the Emmys for the second [...]
Wine Spectator is out this afternoon with a nice round-up article on the latest prognostications for the 2007 wine harvest. Overall, it’s a good read, although at this point, haven’t we all come to expect the various winemakers to hype the annual harvest every year?
Here’s one of the Napa Valley-related excerpts:
In Napa Valley, the weather [...]
…please hang with us as posting will be super-light in the coming few days and weeks.
Cheers!
