Wednesday, June 9, 2010, 12:00pm Harvesting History	The Napa County Historical Society presents Harvesting History, a new exhibition dedicated to the valley’s early agricultural and wine history. During a time of change in agricultural methods and manufacturing, residents of the Napa Valley resisted the widespread effects of urbanization due to an attempt to preserve local traditions and dreams. Instead of polluting the fertile region with excessive railways and machine based manufacturing facilities; the county opened its doors to a multitude of agricultural interests. Indeed, contrary to modern perception today, wine was not considered a fundamental crop during the mid 1800's. This exhibition delves into an era when farming fruit, nuts, cattle and wine supported a young community. Exploring a period that fostered fruit orchards, cattle ranches and nut groves, visitors will learn about the diverse ethnic make-up of the labor force. In addition, be prepared to experience the valley’s dark period of prohibition, phylloxera and floods! Curated by Jennifer Maudru, the exhibition is open Tues-Sat 12-4 p.m. Admission is free but donations are greatly appreciated. director@napahistory.org for more info. More Info: Goodman Library, 1219 First Street, Napa, CA Fee: Free, but donations are greatly appreciated

Last year, Julius Fox wrote down the best of the members’ stories and had them published. The book, called “The Detectives’ Club,” was an immediate best seller. Under the terms of the contract, any of the eight detectives who are alive at midnight tonight will share in the royalties - $5,000,000.

Friday, August 20, 2010, 10:50am Napa Valley Wine Train Vintners Lunch - Artesa Vineyards and Winery	Winemaker Mark Beringer showcases the fabulous wines from one of Napa's most exciting wineries. A fifth generation and award-winning winemaker from Napa Valley, Mark is proud to continue a family tradition of making high quality wines in California's premier AVAs. As the great, great grandson of Beringer Winery co-founder, Jacob Beringer, Mark has always aspired to make his contribution to California winemaking. He grew up immersed in the wine industry and knew from a very young age that winemaking was his calling. At Artesa, the belief is wine without food is, well, incomplete. Executive Chef Kelly Macdonald couldn't agree more and he hits the mark with his food pairing expertise. The result is a culinary experience that completes the flavorful Artesa Wines.

Friday, September 17, 2010, 5:50pm Napa Valley Wine Train - Murder Mystery Dinner Theater	Once a year the world’s greatest detectives gather at the home of Julius Fox in Napa, but this year for the 10th anniversary they are gathering on the Napa Valley Wine Train. They swap stories, brag of their accomplishments and a few, I’m sorry to say, get drunk, engage in affairs, and behave in a most unseemly manner. Last year, Julius Fox wrote down the best of the members’ stories and had them published. The book, called “The Detectives’ Club,” was an immediate best seller. Under the terms of the contract, any of the eight detectives who are alive at midnight tonight will share in the royalties - $5,000,000. Those who are no longer among the living will receive nothing for their estate. Visit WineTrain.com or call +1.800.427.4124 for reservations.
