On April 20th we drove the Silverado Trail through Napa Valley. What a huge change from when I last saw it in ~1975. Many, many more vineyards have sprung up. Vineyard after vineyard after vineyard. Truly beautiful country. We popped into many wineries but only sampled at one or two. Complimentary wine tastings are a thing of the past. Today it is about $5 to $40 depending on whether or not you choose to have palate-cleansing nibbles to accompany the tastings.
