F or the past two years, Bangkok, Thailand has received the most visitors
out of any city in the world. In 2016, the city received 19.41 million
overnight visitors, just surpassing second-place London which had 19.06

area also hosts several events such as scavenger hunts, sandcastle building, art in the park, and
chili at the beach. Stop by to enjoy some local customs, make new friends, and have fun with
the whole family.
#7 Go to the beach!
This one is obvious, but worth mentioning. With 16 kilometers (10 miles) of coastline, you
can spend the day having tons of fun playing in the ocean. Rent a boogie board, paddle board,
surf board, skim board, or nearly any other kind of board you can think of from local vendors.

5 Best Wineries in CA

W
By Colman Andrews, Editor The Daily Meal
ine is now made — from grapes — in all 50 states (though Alaskan vintners ad-
mittedly have to import their fruit or its juice), and we specifically asked our
panelists to consider wines from all over, not just from the usual places, so that
we could at least partially reflect the broad scope of American winemaking today.
#1
That said, when the must settled, our results verified what we'd really known all along:
California is our nation's wine capital, and the Napa Valley is at the heart of that state's
quality wine industry.
In gleaning this list of the 25 Best Wineries in California from our larger list, we didn't
have to go very far: 25 of the top 30 producers were Californian. Of those, 14 call the
Napa Valley home. The state's Central Coast, from Santa Cruz south to Santa Barbara, ac-
counts for another seven. Sonoma County, to our surprise, fielded only three wineries in
the top 25 (the one outlier was from Philo, in Mendocino County).
The wineries on our master list were nominated by dozens of sommeliers, wine writers,
chefs, and restaurateurs, along with wine-savvy editors at The Daily Meal. Some respon-
dents asked to remain anonymous, but among those who didn't were regular Daily Meal
wine writers Roger Morris, Gabe Sasso, and Andrew Chalk; John Tilson of The Under-
ground Wine Letter; wine writer and wine bar proprietor Keith Beavers; chef–restaurateur
Daniel Boulud and Daniel Johannes, corporate wine director for Boulud's Dinex Group;
chef–restaurateur and Daily Meal contributor Norman Van Aken; sommelier, wine edu-
cator, and wine blogger Elizabeth Schneider; Cathy Mantuano, wine director at the
Chicago Art Institute's Terzo Piano; and Julian Mayor, head sommelier at Bourbon Steak

here. But our consideration of value accounts in part for the absence from our list of some
of famous "trophy wines" from the Napa Valley and elsewhere, wines priced at many hun-

#3 Au Bon Climat Winery, Santa Barbara

For more than 30 years, Jim Clendenen's pioneering Santa Barbara County winery has
been producing wines — above all chardonnays and pinot noirs — that set the standard
for the region, and for California in general. Sourcing grapes from the legendary Bien
Nacido Vineyard and from other top plantings in the area, including his own organically
farmed Le Bon Climat, Clendenen makes memorable wines with skill, wit, and above all
remarkable consistency. Anyone lucky enough to have tasted such wines as Clendenen's
rich and racy 2010 30th Anniversary Nuits Blanches au Bauge Chardonnay, lusiciously
fruity 2011 Second Coming Viognier (under the Clendenen Family label), or sexy 2001
Vita Nova Reservatum (a California "super-Tuscan" comprised of sangiovese, cabernet
franc, and merlot) will understand why Au Bon Climat deserves to be ranked as one of
the very best wineries in America.
#2 Ridge Vineyards, Cupertino

The esteemed Paul Draper's legendary Ridge Vineyards has been an industry leader for
over 50 years, making superb traditionally styled wines from some of California's best
vineyards with admirable, almost incredible, consistency. Ridge subscribes to the philos-
ophy that winemaking should be as natural as possible, and the winery's fantastic quality
is achieved through sustainable farming, hand picking and sorting of grapes, use of native
SEACLIFF yeasts, naturally occurring malolactic fermentation, and minimal employment of SO2.
Ridge produces vineyard-specific varietals and blends from the Sonoma, Santa Cruz
Mountains, and Paso Robles AVAs. The oldest of the Ridge estates, Monte Bello, was first
planted in 1885, abandoned after prohibition, and replanted in the 1940s. As vines age,
COUNTRY production drops; but the remaining grapes keep gaining in concentration and complexity.
The winery's zinfandels are legendary, its cabernet sauvignons highly praised, its chardon-
nays, merlots, petite sirahs, and Rhône-style blends are top-of-the-line. No wine producer
is perfect, 100 percent on all the time — but Ridge comes very close.
CLUB #1 Tablas Creek Vineyard, Paso Robles

A leader in the use of Rhône varietals in the Paso Robles region, a leader in the fight
for approval of 11 sub-districts in the area, and a leader in advancing sustainable and bio-
dynamic vineyard practices not just in its own region but throughout California, this 25-
year-old Paso Robles property — owned by noted wine importer Robert Haas and the
Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel (Rhône Valley royalty) — is as good as it gets.
6501 Palm Avenue The wines are just amazing: rich, juicy whites (largely roussanne) and reds (mostly
mourvèdre) sold under the Esprit de Tablas (formerly Esprit de Beaucastel) label; the more
Huntington Beach, CA 92648 approachable Côtes de Tablas offerings (based on viognier for the white, grenache for the
red); the fresh, sunny Patelin de Tablas rosé (grenache) and white (grenache blanc); the
limited-edition single-variety wines released from time to time based on a wide variety of
grapes (vermentino, petit manseng, and tannat as well as more familiar Rhône varieties)
Call (714) 536-8866 or — it's hard to know what to open first. John Tilson of The Underground Wine Letter hails
Tablas Creek "for bringing Old World know-how to a new viticulture area," adding that
"Sustainable agriculture practices and traditional winemaking have established them as a

role model for Rhône varietals [in California] and the wines are consistently excellent."
Sommelier, wine educator, and wine blogger Elizabeth Schneider puts it more succinctly:
"They just make kick-ass wine year after year.”

#2 Monaco
Monaco is the runner up for the smallest country in the
world at 0.77 square miles. Monaco is home to the world-fa-
mous city of Monte Carlo, which is a favorite retreat for some
of the world’s most rich and famous. Situated on the French
Riviera, near southeastern France, this country of less than
one square mile is also home to the Monte Carlo Casino and
the Monte Carlo Formula One race.
#1 Vatican City
At 0.2 square miles, Vatican City is the big winner, or
smallest winner, in this lineup. What it lacks in size, Vati-
can City makes up for in influential religious power. It is
the center for the Roman Catholic church and where the
Pope resides. Vatican City is a walled area of Rome and
was declared an independent state in 1929. There are
around 800 people who reside in Vatican City with more
who “commute” in for work. If you were calculating the
smallest autonomous regions in the world based on popu-
lation, Vatican City would lose out to the Pitcairn Islands,
which has around 40-60 residents.

Named for elite warriors from Japan's feudal era, the whisky
is said to reflect the elegance of their fighting style. “This is a
nice sipping whisky, but expect a younger profile rather than

What’s the best way to satiate a seemingly insatiable audi-

to be the preeminent grain whisky

“This is a classic grain whisky with
