Art extraordinaire and wine, too |
4411 Redwood Rd (off Hwy 29 near Yountville) Napa Valley, CA 94558 United States +1 877 707 4377 / +1 707 255 1144 http://www.hesscollection.com/ |
Swiss millionaire Donald Hess displays a portion of his magnificent art collection at this renovated Christian Brothers Winery. The original stone structures built in 1903 were retained in the new facility, which also includes an audio-visual room, a 13,000-square-foot art gallery and an upscale store. While the wines are simple by Napa standards, they are both decent and affordable. The winery produces two varietals, chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon, under two different labels: The Hess Collection and the bargain label Hess Select, made with grapes from Monterey County.

Situated in the imposing, 101-year-old Greystone, former home of the Christian Brothers winery, Greystone restaurant is nice retreat from the bustle of the Napa Valley. Adventurous renditions of Spanish dishes complement California Cuisine that takes Mediterranean cues from the Middle East and Morocco. The menu changes daily to take advantage of fresh local produce. The impressive wine list, promised by the name, does not disappoint. Enjoy seasonal cocktails and Californian microbrews. Sit out on the terrace overlooking fields upon fields of vineyards. Or sit indoors and watch chefs hard at work in the open kitchen. "Today's Temptations" is a small plates menu, inspired by fresh ingredients, intended for the table to share. Review © 2007, Wcities |
