California - Wine Country

Plumpjack

A Karen Brown Recommendation

Retrace your steps to Yountville Cross Road and turn left for the short drive up the Silverado Trail to Oakville Cross Road where you turn left. The first winery on your right is your destination, Plumpjack (620 Oakville Cross Road, Oakville, CA 94562). The fanciful theater-set style of the complex is a clue that this is a winery that flaunts tradition—as an example, they have replaced the cork in some of their reserve Cabernets with a screw cap. Plumpjack derives its name from Shakespeare’s portly character Jack Falstaff. Open for tasting 10 am to 4 pm, $5 per person. 707-945-1220, www.plumpjack.com.
