The Francis Ford Coppola Winery is one of the most spectacular
wineries in Sonoma County. I've
been there about four times now, and every single time, it's overwhelmingly beautiful. It is not
just a winery, it is a Theater of Life, Wine and Food with perfect staging, grand performance, and a fantastic
execution of the wine tasting routine. It is a breathtaking creation of outstanding genius: wonderful grounds, pools, restaurants,
great staff.
Wine:
I liked a crispy
dance of fruit of Viognier and a silky
danger of Pinot Noir...
Drink! for you know not whence you came nor
why: drink! for you know not why you go, nor where.

Food: Pizza, Pasta, Everyday Classics are good. From
Francis's Favorites - Lamb is fantastic, but, unfortunately, L'Ami Louis Gateau
De Pommes (potato cake) is a poor shadow of L'Ami Louis's in Paris and my French cousin Caroline's cooking...
