Oenotri

By Thierry Dessauve

While the cuisine is inspired by southern Italy, local produce is very much at the heart of Oenotri’s philosophy. The Napa restaurant even has its own farm, a 4-acre “culinary garden” from which it sources many of its ingredients, as well as baking its bread and making its 20 different kinds of salumi in house.

The Cal-Ital feel extends to the imaginative, and comprehensive, wine list, which is almost exclusively drawn from the USA and Italy. It’s a list that finds space for the quirky (Casale Del Giglio Petit Manseng, IGT Lazio or Forlorn Hope St-Laurent, Ost-Intrigen, Carneros) and the avant-garde (Radikon Chardonnay/Friulano; Scholium Project Verdelho, Naucratis) along with the big-name classics of California Cabernet, Barolo, Barbaresco, and Chianti.

The judges at the World’s Best Wine Lists were also impressed by the varied by-the-glass program, which gives diners the chance to experiment with a broad range of Italian varieties (Arneis, Aglianico, Nero d’Avola) as well as top-flight wines such as Peter Michael Les Pavots, Knights Valley California 2010 and Giacomo Borgogno Riserva Barolo 1971.
