At the upscale kitchen we not only love to cook
but we always enjoy a good glass of wine. So from time to time we
will blog about wine tasting, wines we like, vineyards to visit and of course
wines we cook with. I hope you enjoy reading our blogs in the UpScaleKitchen wine series.
One of the established valleys in California is Napa Valley. Home to some of the world's most famous vineyards where thousands of local residents benefit from a relaxed and refined lifestyle. The Homes and Towns in Napa Valley considered small are located on large properties. Daily work takes place on these Farms and Vineyards. Typically, you will find their homes built with energy and water conservation techniques due to the local support of conservation and recycling programs found in their communities.
