Windsor Vineyards has taken the fun, customized labels and mediocre wines from its former tasting room on Healdsburg's plaza (page 185) and gone back to its mail-order roots. Parent company Fosters Wine Estates was smart enough to realize that the prime retail location would instead be a better place to showcase wines from its many premium wineries around the world that, fankly, all make far better wine than Windsor.

It didn't make it into the current edition of the book, but the bigger and better Kelly's “No Bad Days” Cafe in downtown Napa will certainly be the second edition, if for no other reason than the toilets.

It's been a fixture next to Highway 29 just North of Napa for as long as I can remember, but the big red hen atop a barn that marked the site of a cheap mexican eatery and the ramshackle Red Hen Antiques cooperative (page 38) is about to come crashing to earth, as over ambitious hens tend to do.

Urban tasting rooms are a growing trend in wine country and Sonoma is certainly getting in on the act. In the past year or so, two new tasting rooms have opened right on the plaza, although they didn't make it in to the book due to the vagaries of the long book production and printing process. More such urban winery outposts could be on the way too.
