好英语网36小时玩转纳帕溪谷
In the three decades since the Napa Valley began its steep ascent to international wine stardom, California’s best known appellation seems at times to have become a cliché, with its increasingly opulent wineries, as-seen-on-TV chefs and spectacular restaurants. At worst, it’s a boozy adult Disneyland, complete with rides (the Wine Train) and lines (Highway 29 traffic). At best, the valley is undulating hills, crisscrossed by vines and awash in wildflowers — a stunningly beautiful landscape studded with small towns. Excellent wine is everywhere, including downtown Napa, where 20 wine bars and tasting rooms have opened in the last decade. The proliferation of new places to taste wine has reversed what was once the norm in Napa: the inevitable hustle to get into a handful of respected wineries. Now there is more time to indulge in other sensory pleasures.
过去三十年，美国的纳帕溪谷从籍籍无名疾速蹿升，一跃变为世界葡萄酒产业的巨星。这个全加州最好的葡萄产地仿佛已经成为奢华酒庄、出镜名厨和炫目餐厅的代名词。往坏了说，纳帕溪谷就是一个酒精弥漫的“成人迪斯尼乐园”，有着自己的游乐设施（葡萄酒小火车）和长队（拥堵的29号高速路）。往好了说，纳帕溪谷宛如一幅绝美的风景画：连绵起伏的山峦被交错的葡萄藤和野花所覆盖，一些小城镇点缀其间。美酒随处可见！仅纳帕中心区这10年间就新开了20个酒吧和葡萄酒品鉴室。以前，只要你到纳帕，就一定会被推搡着从一个名庄赶到另一个名庄；现如今，随着新的品酒场所的出现，你会花上更多时间来品尝各种体验！

Another option is the remodeled Restaurant at Meadowood (900 Meadowood Lane, St. Helena; 707-967-1205; therestaurantatmeadowood.com), which may have California’s priciest tasting menu (from $500 with wine).

When the tasting rooms close, tourists and young Valley dwellers compete for tables at Carpe Diem Wine Bar (1001 Second Street, Napa; 707-224-0800; carpediemwinebar.com). Housed in the former Alexandria Hotel, the bar serves 63 wines by the glass, from small production wines to the $85-a-half-bottle Krug Grand Cuvée Champagne. Reserve a seat at the Uptown Theater (1350 Third Street, Napa; 707-259-0123; uptowntheatrenapa.com), an Art Deco movie palace with acts like Ani DiFranco and Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

Drive into the Carneros hills to di Rosa (5200 Sonoma Highway, Napa; 707-226-5991; dirosaart.org), the former estate of Rene di Rosa, the founder of Winery Lake vineyards and an eccentric collector who devoted himself to the work of Northern California’s emerging artists. The 200-acre property has peacocks, sculpture-covered hillsides and a lake. The Gatehouse Gallery features rotating exhibitions (a recent show included art cars and sound installations) and is open to drop-ins.

The Culinary Institute of America has turned out some of the country’s best-known chefs — from Grant Achatz to Anthony Bourdain to Roy Choi. For those without $97,000 to devote to a culinary education, the C.I.A. campus in the 1888 Greystone Cellars building in St. Helena (2555 Main Street; 707-967-2320) offers weekend two-hour classes on the New Spanish Table and regional Italian cooking ($95; www.ciachef.edu/enthusiasts).

8. TASTE TO TRAIL
8、从品鉴到徒步
While in St. Helena, stop at the St. Helena Olive Oil Company (1351 Main Street, St. Helena; 800-939-9880; sholiveoil.com) to sample another prized local liquid. Housed in the former Bank of Italy, the shop sells extra-virgin oils from seven Napa estates, six more from greater California and a collection of flavored oils (jalapeño, orange) and wine vinegars. The bank’s vault has been converted to a private tasting room, offering extra-virgin tastings and oil-food pairings ($25 to $50 a person). Then, hike the River to Ridge Trail (ridgetrail.org), which connects the Kennedy Memorial Park on the Napa River with the Skyline Wilderness Park, two and a half miles inland.
既然已经身处圣.海伦娜，那就去圣.海伦娜橄榄油公司(the St. Helena Olive Oil Company 地址：1351 Main Street, St. Helena; 电话;800-939-9880;网址：sholiveoil.com/store)，在那里品尝当地另外一种深受推崇的液体。这家店坐落在原意大利银行的建筑里，除了出售来自七个纳帕庄园以及六个加州其他地区庄园特级初榨橄榄油之外，也经营其他口味的油类（比如墨西哥辣椒，橘子）和葡萄酒醋。银行的地下室现在已被改成一个私人品鉴室，提供特级初榨橄榄油的品尝，以及橄榄油和食物搭配的指导（每人25到50美金）。随后，参加河畔到山岭古道线的徒步游览(River-to-Ridge Trail网址：ridgetrail.org),这条线路连接着纳帕河边肯尼迪纪念公园（the Kennedy Memorial Park）和天际荒野公园（the Skyline Wilderness Park），单程2.5英里。

9. RAW BAR
9、生食餐吧
The first West Coast restaurant in the Masaharu Morimoto (a k a the Iron Chef) empire, Morimoto Napa (610 Main Street, Napa; 707-252-1600; morimotonapa.com) opened on Napa’s riverfront in 2010. It brought high design (midcentury modern furniture, exposed concrete) and urban energy (a bustling bar, blasting techno) to the city’s tame downtown. The East-meets-West menu includes foie gras chawan mushi ($19), sea urchin carbonara ($20) and beautifully sculptured sushi and sashimi. The omakase tasting menu (from $120 per person) is a splurge, while the chirashi bowl (sushi rice topped with fish and vegetables; $32) gives a glimpse of Morimoto’s craft without the painful price tag.
2010年，日本料理铁人森本正治（Masaharu Morimoto）的第一家西海岸餐厅落户纳帕河滨，名为纳帕的森本正治(Morimoto Napa 地址：610 Main Street, Napa; 电话：707-252-1600;网址：morimotonapa.com)。这家餐厅将高品位的设计（20世纪中的现代家具，露石混凝土）和都市活力（一个喧闹的酒吧，响着电子舞曲音乐）带到这个沉闷的市中心。中西合璧的菜谱包括：鹅肝茶碗蒸（19美金），海胆意大利面（20美金）以及美如雕塑的寿司和刺身。餐厅提供的特选菜谱（每人120美金起）颇为昂贵，然而这里的什锦盖饭（黏米加蔬菜鱼肉，32美金）还是给了食客一个品尝森本大师手艺而又不用为钱包心痛的机会。
10 p.m.

10. SALSA SATURDAY
10、萨尔萨舞之夜
After the kitchen closes on Saturday nights, tables and chairs are cleared, and the dining room at Bistro Sabor (1126 First Street, Napa; 707-252-0555; bistrosabor.com), an ever popular Latin American restaurant, turns into a dance floor. While the owner-winemaker Ariel Ceja gives lessons, locals and out-of-towners dance to salsa, bacchata, merengue, cumbia and reggaeton — until after midnight. No cover.
周六的晚上，当厨房停止供餐，桌椅板凳都清理停当之后，风味小酒馆(Bistro Sabor地址：1126 First Street, Napa; 电话：707-252-0555;网址： bistrosabor.com）的用餐大厅就变成了一个舞厅，这是一家非常受欢迎的拉美风格餐厅。餐厅主人兼酿酒师埃里尔·赛哈（Ariel Ceja）会教本地人和游客跳各种拉丁舞，比如莎莎舞、巴萨塔舞、美瑞格舞、空比亚舞、雷鬼舞，直到午夜，而且免费入场！

11. WINE RIDE
11、自行车上的葡萄酒
Last year, the couple behind Clif Bar opened Velo Vino (709 Main Street, St. Helena; 707-968-0625; velovinonapavalley.com), a hybrid coffeehouse, wine tasting room and bike shop that arranges bicycle rentals and sells energy bars and some very drinkable wine (sold in a 1.5 liter pouch; $17). Though the Napa Valley Vine Trail project (vinetrail.org), a 44-mile paved bike path that’s to stretch from the Vallejo ferry station to Calistoga, has yet to be fully realized, part of the project has already been completed in Yountville, where it runs parallel to Highway 29.
去年，克里夫巴尔公司（Clif Bar）的创始人在纳帕开了一间名为面纱葡萄酒(Velo Vino 地址：709 Main Street, St. Helena;电话： 707-968-0625; 网址：velovinonapavalley.com)的店面，融咖啡屋、品酒室和自行车店于一身。该店有自行车租赁业务，出售能量棒和一些口感不错的葡萄酒（1.5升袋装，17美金）。纳帕溪谷葡萄藤路线(网址:vinetrail.org)是一个计划从瓦列霍（Vallejo）轮渡站绵延至卡利斯托加（Calistoga）的路线，全长44英里都铺设自行车道，尚未完工，但是，扬特维尔（Yountville）路段的路段已经完工，这部分线路和29号高速平行。

12. A FEAST TO SHARE
12、共享的盛宴
At the north end of the valley, Solbar (755 Silverado Trail, Calistoga; 707-226-0850; solagecalistoga.com/dining), a barnlike restaurant at the five-year-old Solage Calistoga resort, serves colorful, flower-topped California salads. But the real knockout here is the Lucky Pig ($36), a slow-roasted shoulder of Hampshire pork, served with black sesame crepes, pickled pineapple, Mongolian peanuts and lettuce cups (meant to be shared). Along with the Napa-requisite multipage wine list, Solbar offers exquisite cocktails like the sage canyon flip (Charbay white whiskey, pear purée, lemon, house orgeat syrup, egg white sage; $13). Vegetables and herbs are grown in a garden out back.
在纳帕溪谷的北端，有家状如谷仓的餐厅，名叫索尔吧(Solbar地址;755 Silverado Trail, Calistoga;电话：707-226-0850;网址：solagecalistoga.com/dining)，坐落在拥有5年历史的卡利斯托加度假酒店中，供应由鲜花装饰的加州沙拉。但真正令人倾倒的菜品是幸运猪(36美金)，其实就是一支慢烤的汉普夏猪前腿，搭配着黑芝麻薄饼、腌制凤梨、蒙古花生和生菜杯（多人用）。除了提供纳帕必备的多页酒单外，餐吧还供应精致的鸡尾酒，比如鼠尾草菲利普（Charbay白威士忌，梨泥，柠檬，自制杏仁糖浆，鸡蛋白鼠尾草；13美金）。蔬菜和香草都来自餐厅外后面的花园。
IF YOU GO
还有两个选择：
Opened in 2009, Bardessono (6526 Yount Street, Yountville; 707-204-6000; bardessono.com; from $800) is the first Platinum LEED certified hotel in California. A free Friday afternoon wine tasting and Saturday morning yoga session are included ($8 for nonguests).

For the unrepentant urbanite, another newcomer, AVIA Napa (1450 First Street, Napa; 707-224-3900; avianapa.hyatt.com; from $289), has 141 rooms in downtown Napa and a fire pit on the terrace.
