I hope you enjoy the art on your next trip to Napa. Another fun thing to do that doesn't involve drinking is olive oil tasting. Round Pond does a very nice sit down tasting of their oils, which are amazing. They also include food to taste with the oils and vinegars. Then there is the St. Helena Olive Oil Company, one location in downtown St. Helena, the other is next to the Rutherford Grill on Hwy 29. And there is always shopping in St. Helena!

Turnbull has a fabulous photography collection and it's on display at the winery, free of charge. Plus, the Sauvignon Blanc is fabulous. Craig, great suggestion.

I gotta say, it is great marketing on her part for the margaritas, cosmos, etc. I agree with you on the wine...wine is already low-cal {as far as I'm concerned}. And $15 a bottle for a non-complex wine? There are many MANY ah-mazing wines for that price. Plus, I'm a woman, and I like complex! The last thing I want is a blah, ordinary wine. Great for her and her marketing...I wish her well...but I won't be buying. Ok, just read this at Huffington…wow…interesting comments!

Buy cheap wine and enjoy it, you won't understand it anyway. On top of that the point seven, even if corrected, still disqualifies you: "Cava (from Spain) and sparkling wines from the U.S.are made by the same traditional method that is behind the great Champagnes of the world." Great Champagnes of the world? There is one and only champagne and it's not made in "the world" but in Champagne, and it's a completely different product from Prosecco, Cava and US sparkling wines. Full stop. This looks like “The guide to become a perfect alcoholic in 10 lessons”. Buy cheap wine and enjoy it, you won’t understand it anyway.
