How to Taste Your Way Through the Napa Valley | Eater
"After a long day exploring St. Helena’s historic Main Street of shops and tasting rooms, you’ll want a cozy spot for dinner. Brasswood is an easy, comfortable option nearby for a night out, or when you’d rather have a cocktail than another glass of wine. It’s known for two things: the not-so-secret, off-menu fresh mozzarella (warm and gleaming with olive oil) and its fun takes on classic cocktails, like a butterwashed old fashioned or barrel aged negroni. They also offer pizzas and well-prepared pastas. A favorite? The Sonoma duck bolognese. And while they offer a wine pairing featuring their own label, Brasswood Cellars, there’s also a reasonably priced corkage fee of $30 a bottle, making it the perfect place to bring a few higher-end bottles you don’t want to pay a markup on." - Lee Musho
