I have heard criticism of the structure, comparing it to Disneyland and I find that ridiculous. It is a great tourist destination, a working winery, beautiful setting and an educational experience at the same time. I am not a wine expert, but I enjoyed every one I tasted there. I think this is a great American success story and my hat is off to Darryl Sattui for carrying off his dream. I toured Castello di Amorosa a month ago and was mightily impressed.

In which case the Castle will be right up your alley. Another friend of mine, who also happens to be in the wine industry, refers to children as "expelled uterine biomass". I should introduce you! For those of us that think wine is a complete lifestyle beverage (which means that includes having little children around), thankfully there are other places to hang. Viva la difference! Sal,

The last thing I need is to see badly parented children running around and screaming while I'm trying desperately to avoid them (and their parents) and enjoying nice wine. It's not 'hip' to be an aging 30- or 40-something and insisting on hauling your offspring to bars or wineries, it's pathetic and inconsiderate.

Castello di Amorosa, where children are not allowed (which means my wife and I won't be visiting). Why Napa Valley of course.
