Clint and I spent last week in Napa and dropped in on the Taste of Yountville 2009 which is part of the Annual Napa Valley Mustard Festival Event.

There was plenty of participation by local wineries, samplings of gourmet restaurant fare and artwork. The event is held by the Yountville Chamber of Commerce each year. Visitors can purchase a pass for the entire event or purchase a la carte tickets ($1/ticket). Signs at various tables would price their tastings or samples in units of tickets.

The whole event was spread all around the Yountville region, within walking distance, and there were plenty of bands keeping the atmosphere lively.

Some notable attractions included the BBQ ran by local fire department for charity and tours of the French Laundry garden.

Loni is a self-professed foodie, adventure travel seeker and aspiring artist. It’s been said her laugh can be heard from San Jose all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge. The former Ms. Global Petite runner-up is host of several SSC shows including WineTube TV, StarkSilverCreek Presents, Loreto Live, and the new series The Artist Diaries. Between busy travel schedules to Washington, Napa and global destinations such as Australia, the Baja and Europe, she expends the rest of her energy collecting wines, practicing “escape artist”-style cooking, and building what she hopes, one day, will be a real estate empire. She catches her breath by writing about her adventures.
