Napa Valley

On Saturday, we drove up through the rain to Napa Valley. The first winery that we visited was Chateau Montelena. They grew their grapes using older methods without the use of irrigation. We tasted $100 bottles of wine and I must say that I have never tasted wine that amazing! It was extremely complex and well balanced. They had a traditional Chinese water garden in the back. That afternoon we moved on to Sterling, a large corporate winery. They had a great self-guided tour and a tram ride to view the vineyard.
