Napa California: I am afraid frequent readers of my little blog will become bored with the repeativeness of our activities in Napa: exercise, eat, drink wine. Often at the same places where we exercised, ate and drank wine on a previous visit. I guess we are creatures of habit or maybe we have just discovered the best places? Why don't you get in your RV and discover for yourownself?




We did not have breakfast this morning and we did not have dinner tonight. Our sole purpose in life today was a late lunch at Bottega in Yountville. We arrived to the adorable town of Yountville well before our reservation to spend a little time exploring.


Finally it was time for our late lunch reservations at Bottega. This restaurant is operated by famed chef Michael Chiarello. He owns/operates the NapaStyle (catalog) company, has a vineyard, and runs the newly-opened Coqueta on Pier 5 in San Francisco. In his spare time he is completely gorgeous.
Since this was our one-shot meal o-the-day, we each ordered appetizers and entrees. Living Large in Napa. A few photos of our choices:



This was the third time DT and I have dined at this restaurant. Reservations are very difficult to secure, so maybe if you can't snag a dinner reservation, go for lunch. Many of the same items on the menu and better light for photography. You won't need dinner.
This evening we sat outside and watched the Giants lose to some team in Kansas City. Readers Amy & Ted (in their brand new motorhome!) stopped-over to say hello and we had a great evening.
Until my next update, I remain, your wine-country correspondent.
RV PARK: Napa Valley Expo RV Park. Our favorite campground in the area. Long paved full-service pull-through sites with 50 amp. Bathhouse, laundry, free wifi, lawn, picnic table. At the fairgrounds and just a short drive to downtown Napa. We paid $45 per night, with a Good Sam discount.
