Primer on Napa Valley


An 8-hour drive from Los Angeles, Napa Valley is one of the ultimate destination for wine lovers.
Well here, the new world meets the old world. It's like Europe at the heart of California Valley.

Napa Valley's quaint charm starts with rows of vineyards and the old railway passing thru the wine region.



We passed by the region in May and according to our boss, who is a wine connoiseur hereself, the grapes will soon be harvested in 2 months. True enough, we haven't seen anything around the place but a myriad of different grape varietals.

Group of RV's (Retired Veterans) were almost everywhere and we're the only Filipinos at that time scouting for the best wine this region could offer.
