Piatti Ristorante & Bar, Mill Valley

This Cal-Italian restaurant, one of six locations in Northern California, has been a fixture beside Marin's Richardson Bay for nearly 15 years, but a major remodeling in 2008 opened up an enlarged bar area and the waterside view. It's primarily a dining spot, but when the sun is out, the bar scene is tough to beat. Sit on the outside deck with a cocktail and watch the birds on one side and the flirts on the other. The vibe: White marble and dark wood trim with huge windows provide an airy feel, with wide views of the water and the Mill Valley hillsides nearby.
If you are experiencing difficulty getting a reservation at your preferred time, online, please call the restaurant and we’ll do our best to fit you in! http://www.piatti.com/loca1.html

Welcome to Pine Ridge Vineyards - Napa Valley

http://www.pineridgevineyards.com/ Stags Leap District This appellation was one of the first in the United States to be approved distinguished by its distinctive soil. Our four vineyards here take advantage of the coarsely eroded loam and clay soils and the bare rocks that heat the district during the day yet cool quickly at night when breezes from the rugged Pacific Coastline enter the valley. Rutherford Prized Cabernet Sauvignon wines have been synonymous with the Rutherford Appellation since the mid 1800s, and the varietal now represents more than half of the planted acreage in Rutherford.
