early dinner at bottega- wander around Yountville after dinner

mon dinner-drinks at bounty hunter, tapas at zuzu, and dessert at Ubuntu
tues bfast at Bouchon
lunch near the Oakland airport
We are also going to be going to the spa on Monday morning, at the Golden haven for a mud bath & massage.
now moving onto the wineries. I prefer big, bold, reds- cabernets or crisp whites.
So far we are planning on going to, in no particular order, Domaine, Mumm, Cakebread, Coppola, Castello Di Amorosa, Sterling- tram ride, and Frank Family. I'd like to go to Artessa, Peju, Beringer, Kuleto Estate, Frog's Leap, St. Supery, Regusci, Hall, and Shramsberg. Obviously, there's way too many wineries for the time that we have. Which ones should I go to?

SFO & Napa Trip..please help
thanks for the options...I'm going to rework the itinerary I had, and use some of the options listed. I'll go to Cindy's instead of Taylor Refreshers. We pricelined the hotel for the first night, which is why we are staying in Vallejo. We than got a package deal for the Meritage for the other 2 nights.
What's near golden gate bridge to eat or even Oakland airport. As we will be coming in from OAK to san francisco to see the golden gate bridge and fisherman wharf, depending on time. our flight gets in at 9:30 am. so any breakfast or brunch options would be great.
thanks for all of the advice

Sunday evening- reservations at Bottega

lunch-picnic lunch from Oxbow Market- or should we get our supplies from somewhere else
dinner-Taylor's Refreshers or Ad-hoc, depending on what we have for Brunch on Sunday

searching for set menu restaurants
My DH & I went for our anniversary last night, 03/27/10. The staff were friendly when we arrived and told us "Happy Anniversary", we received a card, as well. We went with their winter 3 course menu for $35. I got the lettuce wraps, tiger shrimp, and chocolate souffle. My husband got the rock shrimp tempura, salmon, and guava tart. Both of our appetizers were ok, nothing special. The entrees were about the same, nothing special, the shrimp were overcooked, and the salmon had too much sauce on it, you couldn't taste the salmon, the ingredients were good, but the way they prepared both entrees, were not very good. The highlight of the evening were the desserts, they were both good!
We've been to Roy's before, and we enjoyed our experience, so this was a complete disappointment. Last year we went to Noca, and the food and experience was much better.
