Hello Folks, let me share with you  pictures from my dinner at Auberge du Soleil 1 michelin star restaurant in the heart of the Napa valley . The resort is part of Auberge resorts same as Solage. It is located in Rutherford , Napa Valley and it is part of Relais & Chateaux as well. One of the top locations in North California with unbelieveble view.

I start my dinner at the lounge bar having Snack plates and beer , and then i move to the main restaurant to have several course menu . Food on my opinion was really good. In california Foie Gras will be forbidden after 1st July 2012 , so i decided to have taste of the foie gras :

Today i will share with you some of my shoots from Yountville in Napa Valley. Maybe the famous chef in the valley - Thomas Keller own a restaurant called  The French Laundry, Bouchon bistro and Bouchon bakery for unbelieveble pastries, which are top destinations for food lovers. 

Later in July i will have opportunity to have dinner at The french laundry restaurant which was my small dream like a chef since i start cooking .
