October Trip to Northern California

California is not a smoker friendly place. No smoking in restaurants or bars. I am sure some wineries may allow smoking outdoors but not positive.

Napa Valley Wine and Cigars is a wine shop that has a humidor and small lounge separate from the retail wine area. They may have wine tasting but I dont think you can buy wine and drink in the cigar area.

Lots of great restaurants in Napa/St Helena. Mustard's Grill, Cole's Chop House, Tyler Florence and Iron Chef Morimoto both have places in Napa.

Enjoy your trip. Let us know when you are in the area, we may have time to get together for a smoke.

Played golf at Bodega Habour yesterday and then stopped by two wineries. The views of the coast from the golf course were spectacular. Heading up to Healdsburg this morning in search of Zinfandels. We might drop down to Calistoga to visit Bennett Lane and before heading off to Sonoma.
