Sip, Savor and Celebrate Life with Wine Embark on a guided wine tour in the renowned Napa Valley, the most celebrated wine region in North America. Discover boutique wineries that are hand-picked by your guide and enjoy a tasty picnic lunch. Every winery has its own unique charm, but some rise above the rest. From wineries with gorgeous grounds to those featuring elaborate architecture, this is our list of the ten most beautiful wineries in Napa Valley. If you’re visiting Napa Valley for the first time or the fifteenth, you’ll likely be tasting a lot of cabernet sauvignon during your visit. Cabernet is, after all, acknowledged as the king of red grapes in Napa, dominating 40% of the region’s total production. With a terroir perfectly suited for growing cabernet, Napa has certainly found its sweet spot with this much-loved Bordeaux grape, and the results are powerful, deeply layered, and age-worthy wines showcasing notes of black fruit, violets, tobacco, and cedar, to name a few.

A Novel Idea Book in Bloom Just like we’ve been waiting for those springtime buds to emerge from the earth, we’ve been eagerly anticipating the latest books of the season. Check out these literary picks that have scored spots on our shelves. “TRACY FLICK CAN’T WIN” BY TOM PERROTTA | SCRIBNER Tom Perrotta’s follow-up to the memorable “Election” (the movie version starred Reese Witherspoon in the iconic role) reintroduces us to Tracy Flick, now in mid-life. An assistant high school principal in a New Jersey suburb, Tracy is on the brink of a much-anticipated promotion. But when she is asked to serve on the committee to elect members of the school’s Hall of Fame, a former school quarterback emerges as a questionable candidate and brings up bad memories for her. As high school politics rears its ugly head for her once more, Tracy reflects on events and figures in her past that still leave her unfulfilled. Doesn’t she deserve more after all this time?
No word yet on a movie adaptation, but we’re hopeful there will be one with Reese Witherspoon starring once again. 94

She starts a tenuous relationship with a man, but realizes she has more desire for her new beau’s father than for him. Her art career is on the verge of taking off, but Feyi isn’t sure who she is or what she wants in life. How can someone who is still grieving her past love feel optimistic about her chances for a new one?
The author’s bestseller, “The Death of Vivek Oji,” was a finalist for the National Book Award.
“THIS TIME TOMORROW” BY EMMA STRAUB | RIVERHEAD BOOKS On the night before she turns 40, Alice is content if not ecstatic with her life.

When she wakes up the next morning, she finds that she has gone back to her 16th birthday—and her dad is in his prime. With this new insight of their collective past, she begins to see the present in a different way, but now she may have the ability to alter it.
Time-travel gets a new spin through the sharp wit of Emma Straub in her much-anticipated new novel
