Del Dotto Winery


Del Dotto has two locations. This one is toward the south end of the Silverado Trail in Napa. It just looks like it should house a winery.

Caves filled with barrels and more barrels…


Barrels filled with delicious drink…

Pasta Prego Desserts


One reason to go to Pasta Prego in Napa, California, is the awesome pasta. Chef Marco out-does himself every time.
Another reason to go there is the desserts…Creme Brulee for one.


Flourless Chocolate Torte with Raspberry Sauce is another…


Of course Tiramisu is a favorite…

Sun and marine layer fog take turns covering The Golden Gate Bridge.
