For Napa Valley, I recommend Frank Family Vineyards, Rombauer off Silverado trail near the aforementioned Sterling and Cuvaison that were recommended in the other thread. Frank will always be a favorites after they gave my wife a free bottle of champagne on her birthday. Elizabeth Spencer is a hidden gem and Cakebread not so hidden - both require reservations. We were Cakebread members for several years - it's one of the few places that produces high quality reds and whites. Whitehall Lane and Grgich are also worthwhile.

I am not big on champagne but would rank as follows in order of quality: Mumm, Chandon, Ferrer. No longer a fan of V. Sattui - crap wines - but still a great picnic area.

We will finally be returning to Napa for the first time in a few years - ironically twice in a week due to attend both business and personal events - so I'll try to update this thread soon.
