Moone Tsai Wines at Brasswood Napa Valleyīrasswood is a one-stop shop for small-batch wines, food, shopping, and events. Clif Family Bruschetteria, 11am to 6pm Wednesdays and 11:30am to 4pm Thursday through Sunday Tasting Room, 10am to 6pm Wednesdays and 10am to 5pm Thursday through Sunday 709 Main St. You can't go wrong, but we suggest choosing from the daily selection of unconventional bruschette-the Buffalo Chicken is a concoction of chopped chicken, farm hot sauce, shaved celery, and blue cheese dressing. All ingredients for the menu-including salads, porchetta, rotisserie chicken, and side-are sourced from Clif Family's own certified organic farm and other local purveyors. Parked outside the winery, the Clif Family Bruschetteria food truck touts a seasonal, Italian-inspired menu that goes down smoothly with a glass of made-for-summer rosé of grenache. The cycling-themed Velo Vino tasting room has much more to munch on than Clif Bars. Reservations required for parties up to six guests with a $30 deposit per person tastings by appointment 10am to 4:15pm Thursday through Monday 6320 Silverado Trail (Napa), As for the organic wines, guests get the opportunity to sample a couple of library vintages, tasting them side-by-side with the current release. The ultra-seasonal menu changes weekly but often includes a soup, a salad, a pasta dish, a hearty main portion-sometimes including lamb raised at the winery's pasture-and something sweet. Decorated chef Maria Helm Sinskey (wife of Robert) meticulously crafts five courses to complement wine selections, all to be savored in the wine library, tucked away in the caves at noon daily. The robust Chef's Table experience ($175/person) at Robert Sinskey kicks off with a glass of pinot blanc and tour of the estate and its gardens, where many of the ingredients are sourced for this exclusive food and wine pairing. Cucina di Rosa, 10:30am to 4pm Thursday through Monday tastings 10:30am to 5pm daily 2800 Main St. PS: Krug also gets points for live music in the summertime.
Special occasion? Reserve a private cabana (starting at $400) for up to six guests. You can also order up a plate of Italian cured meats and cheeses from the salumeria. Pizzas are big enough to share with a friend and are made with ingredients mostly sourced from the estate's garden. We suggest you start inside to taste through Charles Krug's lineup of wines before heading outside for lunch. The oldest winery in Napa Valley fires up the wood-burning pizza oven (May through early November) at Cucina di Rosa, churning out classic Italian pies to devour on their spacious, well-shaded lawn with a glass (or bottle) of vino.
