I love to travel. One of my favorite des­ti­na­tions lately is the wine coun­try of Napa Val­ley area in North­ern Cal­i­for­nia. You will see a lot of future posts relat­ing to any­thing “trav­el­ish” to Napa. Any­way, today I am shar­ing a lit­tle gem with you. Often we pur­chase a bot­tle of our favorite vino dur­ing our day of wine tast­ing. Wouldn’t it be nice to bring it to din­ner? Well, some peo­ple feel  shy about doing this. It’s actu­ally not frowned on in Napa. How­ever, it’s also not exactly highly adver­tised either. They have cork­ing fees for a rea­son, to enable you to bring your own wine. This is cool because then you can bring some­thing you really want to drink and as an added bonus it can be a huge sav­ings. Let me tell you, in the wine coun­try, din­ners don’t come cheap. So here is my “cheat sheet” of cork­ing fees” at the more pop­u­lar restau­rants in Napa Val­ley (and sur­round­ing areas). There are actu­ally many restau­rants with NO CORKING FEES! I have also included all the restau­rants phone num­bers. You’re wel­come. ;)

Memo:

Feel free to con­tact me with ques­tions regard­ing dif­fer­ent restau­rants. I have lots of favorites and lots of opin­ions that I would find very self­ish to keep to myself.
