The rest of Napa!

After visiting Castello di Amorosa, my friend and I went to the V. Sattui winery (owned by the same people who own Castello, apparently), Bouchon bakery, and Domaine Chandon.


Although we didn't drink any champagne at Domaine Chandon, we took lots of pictures!  We actually shared a bottle of their "Etoile" champagne with my friend's cousins the night before Napa, hehe.  It was quite delicious, and I'm not much of a champagne person.

 No, these mushrooms are not edible ;) - @ Domaine Chandon.

The V. Sattui winery was much smaller than Castello, but it had wine that was just as amazing!  In fact, I bought a bottle of their moscato.  We had a really nice picnic on their grounds and ate some really yummy food from their deli.  If you ever go, it's expensive, but it is good!

Although I had a really good experience at the Bouchon bakery in Vegas (yummy macarons and foccaccia), I was SO disappointed with the brioche bread pudding at the Bouchon bakery in Napa.  Their baguette was good, but come on, make bread pudding that actually has some bread in it! 

@ Bouchon Bakery.

Despite the Thomas Keller FAIL, I had a really good experience in Napa and cannot WAIT to go back again!  Sadly that probably won't be for a while, but I can hope...
