A LOVELY SPOT FOR A PICNIC
Unlike Sonoma, there aren't many places to picnic legally in Napa. Here's a short list, in
south-to-north order, but call ahead and remember to buy a bottle (or glass, if available)
of your host's wine. If you don't finish it, California law forbids driving with an uncorked
bottle in the car (keep it in the trunk).
