What I love about working and living in Yountville, the heart of the Napa Valley I know the video says a sleeping little town, and it is a TOWN not city, but it does have a truly ribald past. Once know for its bars and brothels, Yountville was the trash location of the Napa Valley for many years. Even into the 1960's, many families in other parts of the Napa Valley would not allow their kids to associate with anyone who lived here. Till today, and it is the mecca for foodies with its six Michelin stars, Yountville is a true enclave with worldwide renown. This video just skims the surface but will give you a bit of the flavor here. If you every get here stop by and say hello,  cheers and enjoy Curtis 02/23/2012

Yountville Tidbits from the heart of the Napa Valley Every once in awhile, I write a blog about little known past facts about Yountville, were I live and work. I have been here for nearly 35 years and find it fascinating how much history this small Town has. Here again are a few tidbits for your fancy. The California Veterans Home chose Yountville over several other sites before it opened here in 1884. Before the Veteran's Home was built, Yountville's population was only 150. When the Vintage 1870, now V Marketplace, was first built, wine grapes brought $126 per acre, compared to $9 per acre for wheat and $14 for corn. George Calvert Yount, who Yountville is named for, was the valley's first white settler, built the first flour mill here and is buried in Yountville's cemetery which is s... 02/21/2012
