		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I adore downtown Napa; it has a lovely urban feel yet it is situated on the beautifully renovated Napa River Waterfront.  There are dozens of tasting rooms, modern classy hotels and historic B&#38;B&#8217;s, fabulous restaurants, nightlife (like salsa dancing at Ceja&#8217;s or jazz at Silo&#8217;s ) and shopping all within walking distance.

		<description><![CDATA[A girl can&#8217;t drink wine all the time, right? Luckily, I love cocktails. Problem is though, I&#8217;ve never liked any of the bottled mixes&#8211;too much sugar and too many calories.  When fine restaurants began showcasing Artisan cocktails, I was an early fan.  My adopted son (born with an amazing wine palate) is a seriously popular [...]]]></description>
