This article talks about a visit that the journalist did in Napa. He nicks Napa as the Disneyland of the wines. He is very critic with Napa's wines, since they contain too much oak it is a defect they have to correct if they want to compete with the French. The author also compares how British serve fries with everything, in Napa you get wine with everything (I love this phylosophy). Napa is very innovative, they offer wine with art, wine in caves, wine in a Japanese garden even wine in a cinema museum. This last one is Coppola and his Niebaum, in his central chateu he displays Kilgore's surf board from Apocalypse Now or Corleone's table from The Godfather. Every year Napa receives around 4 million tourists and one of its main attraction is the wine train, between winery and winery you can enjoy great food in the carriages... drink without driving sounds good to me! |
