Sounds like Napa is becoming a circus...

I just visited there today after a long weekend in Napa....I was entirely underwhelmed. The castle looks incomplete and there is no water in the moat. The castle has no real design criteria.....kinda like SF's Chinatown. Anglo-American architects did their best to inteprete chinese construction and their efforts resulted in a Disney look to chinatown. This castle does not appear to make much sense and there is an admission area.....just like Disney....

I paid to go and taste for $10. The wines are better at V. Sattui in all fairness and the service was poor. I in fact only had 3 of my five tasting...I waited so long I left. Definitely the worst experience I had all weekend here.

I had a friend get married at Cornerstone this weekend. Nice place and they pretty much took the whole place. First visit to Shafer, Twomey, Groth, Miner and a few others I can't remember

Revisit of Peju, Heitz and a few others. Nice weekend. [img]http://wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
