"Nouveau Napa"

Craig Nakano, Times Staff Writer, Los Angeles Times

"Copia isn't the only tasting spot in town. Because anti-growth regulations prohibit wineries from establishing new tasting rooms on county land, entrepreneurs flocked within Napa city limits, and now these tasting rooms are some of the hottest gathering spots in town.

My favorite was Vintner's Collective, housed in the city's oldest commercial building, an 1875-built brewery and, later, a saloon and brothel. Here visitors can sample 18 wineries, some of which release wines in remarkably limited quantities (as few as 75 cases) and high prices (up to $75 a bottle). For novices, it's a chance to sample expensive, obscure wines."

36 Hours In Napa, Calif.

36 Hours In Napa, Calif. “SAN FRANCISCANS have long ducked off Highway 29 to wait out the traffic with a stroll through one of downtown Napa's neighborhoods of wide streets, airy parks and gingerbread-style houses. But lately, there's been reason to linger a bit longer in this once sleepy town at the stem of the Napa Valley wine country. With hip eateries, a contemporary art museum on the revitalized riverfront and a 19th-century opera house now featuring a series of world music performances, downtown Napa has become a destination in its own right. Behind some of the oldest stone storefronts in California you can discover the newest flavor combinations, with-it clothing stores, and a sense that you've found something hidden, something on the verge of a boom.
