The French Laundry

This was our real reason for going towards Napa Valley.  We drove around 2 hours from San Mateo to Yountville.  We were so lucky to get a reservation at The French Laundry! What a blessing!  Hoping we could come back and stay overnight to tour Napa Valley

Across the restaurant is the organic garden of French Laundry

The garden of the restaurant – How I wish they would convert it to more restaurant space so more people can dine without having a hard time reserving 🙂 or maybe even part of it 🙂

The book of Purveyors.  It’s so nice how Chef Thomas Keller gives importance to this.  He even printed a nice booklet
