Visit Napa, and fall in love! | Fran Berger
I love Napa. I go as often as I can - in fact I go so often it's like another home. I do, of course, have my favorites... these wineries are always on the top of my 'to visit' list because I'm always looking for a great bottle of wine, and I like to taste their new releases.
Davis Estates - @davisestates, owners Sandy and Mike Davis have two wines, one with winemaker Cary Gott and one with winemaker Phillipe Melka.
My newest discovery is Melka Estates & Winery - @melkaestates, owners Cherie and Phillipe Melka – yes, the same "Phillipe" from Davis.
Haber Family Vineyards - @haberwine - is a beautiful place to visit, with owners Sue Marie and Ron Haber and winemaker Tim Milos.
Revana Family Vineyard -@revanawinery, owner Dr. Madaiah Revana, one of the first wineries I first visited in Napa.
Pride Mountain Vineyards -@pride_wines, with owner Steve Pride and winemaker Sally Johnson.
Visit them if you get up to Napa and don't forget to let them know I sent you. I promise you won't be disappointed!.

Fran Berger is unquestionably an entertaining dynamo, with an inimitable combination of elegance and edge. After mastering an incredibly successful over 20-year run as the original owner of The Farm of Beverly Hills®, a much-ballyhooed Beverly Hills landmark and Los Angeles area mini-chain of restaurants, where the Cobb Salad and Brownies have become gastronomic staples, Fran has gone on to earn her place in the national spotlight as one of the country's go-to home entertaining experts, becoming a recognizable face on daytime television and in consumer lifestyle media.
Fran's years of knowledge as an established entrepreneur and restaurateur are fused with her love of entertaining. Fran recognized people have so many concerns over entertaining — what to serve, how to serve it, and how to plan overall — making her ability to provide guidance, recommendations, and assistance in curating a personal entertaining style in high demand.
Fran doesn't plan parties. Instead, she works closely with her clients, who like a sophisticated lifestyle. She helps them curate the perfect bespoke experience for their guests. She knows all of her clients want to impress their guests with sophistication. Those she chooses to work with include some clients who may be just dipping their feet into the shallow end of the pool vis-à-vis entertaining and not sure where to start. They may need help organizing or reorganizing their dining areas after many years in the same home. Or, perhaps maybe those who have just purchased a beautiful new home and are now looking for the perfect refined collection of kitchenware.
As she excitedly proclaims, "If you're not comfortable entertaining, you're simply not going to do it, and then you've lost the opportunity for the joy in your life of having people come together. To me, this is the essence of life itself — inviting people together to get to know one another on a deeper level and having great fun over fabulous food."
