Call Napa Valley mellow yellow mustard time is about to begin. The best thing about wild mustard is its yellow sheen glowing like sunshine just when winter seems it will never end. The best thing about the Napa Valley Mustard Festival is that it treats the winter-weary to not only the pungent plant but also its close compatriots, wine, olives, and other local savories.

Winter is a quiet time in Napa Valley. Which makes it a very good time to
visit.
With harvest over and future bottles of wine resting peacefully in barrels
and tanks, your chanced of chatting with a winemaker when you visit a winery
is higher. And as temperatures drop so do crowds and prices....
It all makes for some good eating weather.... Now is the time to feast on
the hearty braises and roasts that go best with Napa's robust red wines.----
In late January the valley gets a shot of color when mustard, planted as a
cover crop for vines, erupts in a bust of yellow. From January 30 - March
27 the humble plant is celebrated in a festival that includes, music, art,
dining, and of course wine.....
For some exterior heat jump into a med bath in Calistoga....
If you're staying in Napa, a shortcut is to buy a $20 "Taste Napa Downtown"
card from the Napa Valley Visitor Center......
For wine tasting with a difference try Castello di Amorsa..... For a dash
of history visit Schrambserg Vineyard....Far Niente --- is another historic
winery....
After a long day of tasting it's time to curl up by the fire, - or sink
into a hot tub.
