Lisa, Hard to narrow down in that neck of the woods, especially for one day.
Napa Grill, French Laundry, Bistro Jeanty, Rutherford Grill, Domaine Chandon, Mustard's, Brix or the funky The Diner. Most are within walking distance to "Downtown" Yountville.
So many restaurants, so little time!

Easy Answer: French Laundry but the bad news is you need to call 2 months to the day ahead of time fro reservation. Try also Bouchon in Yountville. You might also try www.sfgate.com and look for restaurant reviews in the Bay Area. The just posted the top 100 restaurant list for 2001.
If you like noisy but terrific food: Slanted Door

FYI, the SF Chronicle the past Sunday,2/4/01, had a supplemental titled "The Top 100 Bay Area Restaurants". It included a few already mentioned and then some in the Wine Country.
I think it can be called up thru the Chron's website or the aforementioned
www.sfgate.com .
I'll be going down to Yountville for a late V'tine's Day weekend and try to get in at The Foothill Cafe in Napa.

Bit of hubris here. There's more than one wine country in the U.S. I strongly suggest you try the North Fork of Long Island (whose wines have been beating Calif. pretty regularly in recent years). Favorite restaurant? Try the Wild Goose, former farmer's bar now dedicated to gastronomic marvels.

Monica: re-Luigi's et al, please note I said "but"...I was trying to figure out where Don Giovanni's was and thought maybe they had it mixed up with Luigi's?? Turns out it's Bistro Don Giovanni's on Hwy 29 in Napa.
Guy: Yes, a lot of hubris! I hear some wine from "Lawn Guyland" is recommended for removing the skunk spray from dogs?
Please note the "The City" thread. \;^)

Guy: Touche!
The only wines I've had from back east were from the area around Charlottesville. Vigonier. Brought back quite a few bottles.
Been into some Chilean reds and some from up north in the Willamette Valley.
No such thing as bad wine? (Except
for s'dude's Ripple?)
