“During our stay in Yountville for our Napa Valley wine trek last year, we discovered Ranch Market that had some great options for alcohol and sparkling waters for us to take home prior to the 9 pm shutdown for most of the towns restaurants. The decor looked like most local mini-marts and markets outside of the typical chains that are still stuck in the 1970s and 80s: off-white and beige walls, red linoleum floors, knickknacks and tshirts for sale, a deli for ordering sandwiches during the day, fresh fruit and cheeses (and French loaves), other essential grocery and pharmaceutical and some household items, and cold and room temperature beverages, including wine, beer, and booze. I was impressed they had a liquor license to sell liquor such as whiskey.The store assistants were friendly and funny who said, "you definitely need water if you have been drinking wine all day." To which I responded, "yup, doing it all again tomorrow."”
“This is a wine bar but if you are a member of their wine club, you get a complimentary cheese plate. The wines are great and the service is exceptional. We had Ozzie and he is very wine savvy to help you with your choice. I love a tasting bar that you can also get wines by the glass.”
“I finally made it to this little market, famous for their scones, hot dogs and wine. When checking out they offered me a sample of a new house specialty: a buttery chewy oatmeal cookie. I am quite particular about cookies that are too sugary and not buttery. This cookie is perfection. Do stop by! (Worth the sunny smiles and service too!)”
