P. Jenal) Distribution: na Organization: Mayfield Senior School, Pasadena, CA Lines: 30 Summary: Some more places to hit... Greetings! Let me toss out a couple of other ideas for your consideration if you are heading up to the Napa area. For breakfast, try the Diner in Yountsville. It is a 50's sort of place - small and homey. If it is crowded (and it almost always is), they will serve you coffee and rolls on the porch. Bring a paper to read - the coffee alone is worth the stop. After you have hit several wineries (Sterling has a very nice self-guided tour along with a great view and, by-the-way, some quite nice wine!), try going on up to Calistoga for lunch and a view. For lunch, pick up some bread and cheese and fruit, etc... and walk over to the airfield where the sailplanes operate. If you are adventurous, take a trip in one - I did and its worth it! Great views of the valley and sailplanes are a real kick! Try hitting the Couvasion winery while you are up there on the North end of the valley. By now you will be hungry again, right? Well, do whatever it takes to work up an appetite because I have a couple of real winners for you. Back in Yountsville, near where you had breakfast, is a restaurant with a Greek flavour that is very nice. That's Anesti's. Check it out. If you decide that you might venture over to the Sonoma side of the world, try John Ash & Co. in Santa Rosa - the best meal I've had in either valley and almost worth the trip in itself. (If the Lemon Chicken is on the menu, GET IT! And tell me what you thought.) Bon apetite! Cheers... Jim Jenal (aka ...!scgvaxd!mss!jpj) Mayfield Senior School ( " ...!ihnp4!mss!jpj)
