Wine, wine, pizza and a star!

Today is the big day for Napa. We've planned two wine tastings and a Michelin Star restaurant for the evening.
First up is the Sterling vineyard in northern Napa. The tour is $20 each (inc $5 discount) and starts with a cable car ride up to the tasting and wine production area. From there we go on a 2 hour self guided tour with 5 tasting stops along the way. The tour describes the whole wine making process and is a mixture of text boards, videos and actual wine making rooms and equipment. Its a fascinating insight into what goes on behind the scenes.
We get to sample a couple of reds and a couple of whites but the star for me is a 2011 Riesling reserve desert wine. Its sweet and honey flavour is exactly what I like and I buy a bottle from the shop. Izy goes for a $22 Cabernet Sauvignon.
The second vineyard is Mumm about halfway up the Silverado trail (the road that splits the two mountain ridges that form the napa valley and give the wine its world beating properties). Its speciality is sparkling wine so this place is heaven for Izy. We pay $20 for three full glasses of expensive sparkling wine. Two white's (one brut and one Cuvee M) and one Rose. The sweeter Cuvee M is my fav but Izy prefers the Brut (actually made from exactly the same grapes). However we're not blown away and so pick up a little one serving bottle instead of a full 750ml bottle.
Dinner is a pizza back at the B&B followed by a 2h nap to ensure we're able to last for the 9:30 appointment at Bouchon in Yountville. This is Thomas Kellers second restaurant in Napa and he once joked he built it so he'd have somewhere to go after a hard night cooking at the 5 (yes really) Michelin stared French Laundry (so exclusive they apparently once told Julia Roberts she wasn't famous enough and theres typically a  month wait). Given theres a 3* restaurant in Napa we looked at which was $1000 a night a shudder to think what it costs at the Laundry.
Bouchon is lovely and we have a wonderful time eating expertly prepared roast chicken and Tuna. We, not very subtly, drop in we're on our honeymoon and are treated to a complementary book with articles about the restaurants and a host of recipes which is great!
Naturally we're shattered afterwards and fall asleep watching Conan. Tomorrow is the final leg of our journey and the last time we'll be in the car. I'm actually a little sad!
