What better way to celebrate a birthday than spend the weekend at The Village Inn at Yountville, Napa, and have dinner at Bouchon? Well, aside from a weekend somewhere hot, like Bora Bora, Napa will do - and it's 18 hours closer to home.Bouchon was a hasty rejig of our scheduled dinner at Ad Hoc, another place we've eaten at before, but at the last minute we got into Bouchon and were sipping cocktails there as I canceled Ad Hoc.
Dinner was a spectacular Ham Rillette followed by Steak Bouchon, while Mrs Page had the Rillette au Deux Saumons - fresh and smoked salmon - followed by Coquilles Saint-Jacques. The atmosphere, service and food is second to none, and really feels like you're in Paris.
The fact that it was a very short stroll across the street from our hotel was the icing on the cake.
