The upcoming La Playa Wine Festival Saturday, Aug. 21, looks like a ravishing value for wine lovers. Master local and Napa crafthouses—like Opus One, Caymus, Quintessa, Stags Leap, Jordan and Rubicon—all pour tastes and offer deals.Can I get a hell yes from the assembly hall.
Meanwhile the Edenesque gardens charm, Richard MacDonald supplies sculptures to contemplate and Exec Chef Bunyan Fortune rolls out "gourmet" appetizers.
