Our featured destination: St. Helena, California

“The St. Helena area is probably the most charming area, I think, in Napa County. Some of the original wineries; some of the best restaurants. Everything happens… ten minutes north of south of St. Helena”…. Terry Mahoney, Owner, The Glass Mountain Inn as told to The Wine Experience Radio Show
