This castle was brought to Napa Valley stone by stone from Italy. They even brought the dungeon and torture chamber. Everything is original right down to the dining room chairs. And it only cost 35 million dollars to do it! Some people have WAY too much money.
One of the higher turrets had such wonderful views
The grapes -- surprisingly sweet and very flavorful
The vineyards, start at the parking lot and go as far as the mountains beyond.
And if you want a wine recommendation (sold only through the winery itself, I'm ordering it online), I highly recommend the 2008 Il Raggio Del Sole "Ray of Sun" Muscato Canelli Dessert Wine. It was superb, and the little bit of effervescence makes me happy! And I don't even like wine very much.
