How this place works
This is not Burgundy. You book, you pay a tasting fee, you sit. Walk-in still exists in St. Helena and Calistoga; the good rooms want a reservation. Don't drive the tasting.
Best window: April–June and September–October. August is hot; weekends are a parking lot.

Three rooms, lunch in St. Helena, no heroics. Spit if you still have to get on a plane.
