Napa Valley Update http://web.mac.com/napaman/iWeb/Site/Blog/Blog.html The aim of this blog is to share What's Best in Napa Valley with friends and tourists so they can make the most of their visit. I have been a food and wine writer for nearly 30 years. I moved to Napa Valley in 1997, figuring that if I was going to write about Food and Wine, I would be smart to live where the Best in North America is produced, or served. What you'll read about is where to eat, drink and be merry. This is an attempt to satisfy the 3 million visitors who come to Napa Valley annually who have, mostly, the same FAQs. So revisit often... tasty fixin's lie ahead. iWeb 1.0.0 http://web.mac.com/napaman/iWeb/Site/Blog/Blog_files/jim_1.png Napa Valley Update http://web.mac.com/napaman/iWeb/Site/Blog/Blog.html The new de Young Museum, San Francisco http://web.mac.com/napaman/iWeb/Site/Blog/7C305249-DA7B-452D-B8F9-D1636F2A14D6.html http://web.mac.com/napaman/iWeb/Site/Blog/7C305249-DA7B-452D-B8F9-D1636F2A14D6.html Sun, 5 Feb 2006 13:32:50 -0800 <a href="http://web.mac.com/napaman/iWeb/Site/Blog/../Images/IMG_2350.JPG"><img src="http://web.mac.com/napaman/iWeb/Site/Blog/Images/IMG_2350.jpg" style="float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:174px; height:113px;"/></a>You can read all about it elsewhere; about the award-winning architecture, the dramatic metallic shell that camouflages the structure, about the art collection. <br> <br> But nothing you read will make you fe Jim White http://web.mac.com/napaman/iWeb/Site/Blog/E21A939D-C857-461A-B28B-B295FD32922D.html http://web.mac.com/napaman/iWeb/Site/Blog/E21A939D-C857-461A-B28B-B295FD32922D.html Fri, 20 Jan 2006 00:00:00 -0800 <a href="http://web.mac.com/napaman/iWeb/Site/Blog/E21A939D-C857-461A-B28B-B295FD32922D_files/jim_1.png"><img src="http://web.mac.com/napaman/iWeb/Site/Blog/Images/jim.png" style="float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:174px; height:158px;"/></a> My favorite new vermouth http://web.mac.com/napaman/iWeb/Site/Blog/D1140F30-46B9-4FA1-A5A9-8A7C27B1EE0E.html http://web.mac.com/napaman/iWeb/Site/Blog/D1140F30-46B9-4FA1-A5A9-8A7C27B1EE0E.html Tue, 31 Jan 2006 11:03:17 -0800 VYA looks like the mangled abbreviation of a US state, or maybe the name of a Russian airline, but it is, in fact, the name of a trendy, small-batch vermouth that turns martinis into magical moments.
