Best places to visit in Napa Valley & Sonoma?

As far as restaurants... I don't have many suggestions for you, but last summer I went to Napa with my family and we visited the Niebaum-Coppola Rubicon Estate Winery (http://www.niebaum-coppola.com/) and had a wonderful experience. It's not too crowded, especially if you get there first thing in the morning (check the website for hours) and we ended up have a two-hour private tour for about the price that most vineyards charge for admission. We walked through the rows of grapes and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. Enjoy your trip!

Question of the Day: What do you eat at the ballpark?

Dollar dog at a Phillies game - total essence of summer. Last summer I had garlic fries at a Giants game... although delicious, I could taste garlic for the next 3 days and vowed never to have them again.

Question of the Day: What's the best cheese for your grilled cheese sandwich?

I'm ashamed to admit it, but sometimes I eat muenster just melted on bread in the microwave with a little salt... I'm at school and only have a microwave so I have to get creative.

Ever over-indulge in a favorite food and now you can't eat it?

Trader Joe's Indian food... not the frozen kind, but the kind that comes in foil packs. I ate (and eat) it all the time at school and I can never eat it at home now - in general my "at school" food isn't that great so I don't like being reminded of it when I'm not there.

Eat at Mustard's, the Rutherford Grill, and La Toque. Stay at Rancho Caymus. Don't miss Cakebread, Rombauer, and Opus One vineyards.

Thanks, BaHa. I look forward to my first ballgame - but will probably pass on the Crackerjack!

The stuff the serve at ball parks, other sporting events or concerts doesn't qualify as food, to my mind.

And, as a Canadian all I can say about poutine is hurl!

Zee, I give you the Crackerjack song: "Candy-coated popcorn, peanuts, and a prize. That's what you get in Crackerjack."
The prizes used to be fun, plastic toys and such but now they are temporary tatoos. Liability laws, I suppose. Sigh.

Adam... they also serve "a 1/5 pound Farmland 8 inch All Beef Black Angus Hot Dog, topped with two strips of freshly cooked bacon, 1 oz. Sautéed Onions, 1 oz. Sautéed Sauerkraut and ½ oz. Cheddar Cheese Sauce, all on a fresh baked bun" and The “Swiss Brat” "a Landshire Bratwurst with a slice of Swiss cheese in the middle of it. 1oz. of Sautéed Sauerkraut is served on top."

Road trip!!!
