Domaine Chandon in Napa has two champagne tasting menus: a prestige featuring three varieties of bubbly and classic, featuring four varieties of bubbly. Naturally, we HAD to go.
Actually, mommy and daddy weren't planning to go wine tasting at all because they thought there wouldn't be time for it -- but daddy's work has "team building" exercises for employees who go on experiment. Since the experiment was in Napa this time, they decided they would be remiss if they didn't go wine tasting. Since nobody else had a preference of where to go, mommy got to choose Domaine Chandon. The grounds were lovely and the setting was very relaxing. Mommy said it was the perfect environment to drink a bottle of champagne. Ha ha. I hit the bottle, too. I even made it festive by donning some bunny ears in celebration of Easter.
Everyone was disappointed that etoile restaurant was closed (it's apparently closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays -- who knew?!), and Mustard is closed for renovations and that French Laundry reservations are all but impossible to land, but they all enjoyed dinner at Brix while sporting a buzz from the group tasting.
