READY  FOR ITS CLOSE UP: The oh-so-swank Hotel Yountville debuts (Spring/2011) with 80 chic guestrooms and suites tucked among heritage oaks, vintage olive groves, hidden fire pits and sexy 4,000 sq. ft., Acqua Spa. Think poolside pedis, complimentary iPads and 24-hour cappuccino service backed with "Duck 'N Donuts" - that's confit baby - and Kurobuta pork belly Benedict at the guest-only Hopper Creek Kitchen.
LOCAL JUICE- The French Laundry launches an iPad wine list showcasing nearly 20,000 bottles in a quick and breezy format. Bell Wine Cellars offers Napa Valley's only Cabernet Sauvignon Clonal Tasting showcasing four distinct clones paired with small bites ($75/per). True cork dorks can belly up for their Blending Seminar ($150/per) and depart with a custom magnum in tow. Sense Yountville pops the cork May 7, 2011 with a hyper-focused Yountville AVA event paired with the town's top toques. Limited to 350 epicureans, this is sure to be another sell out ($150/per). 707.531.7053.
