Thursday, August 27: Jeff Papa featuring Rombauer Vineyards, St. Helena, California The Rombauer family-owned and operated winery, founded in 1980, is located on the northeastern edge of Napa Valley on a secluded, tree-covered knoll overlooking the valley. Visit and taste their chardonnay, cabernet, merlot and zinfandel wines; enjoy the meandering pathway through the garden that highlights a copious variety of flowers, and relax with the magnificent valley view. The Rombauer family has been bringing you the joy of wine for over 30 years. ''The Joy of Wine,'' their philosophy of wine and food, goes back to Koerner Rombauer's ancestors from the wine-growing region of Rheingau, Germany, where wine is considered an essential complement to a meal. ''The Joy of Wine'' is a direct connection to ''The Joy of Cooking,'' written by Koerner's great aunt, Irma Rombauer.
