oldtimeelegance. from thetimewe stepped on the train we were transported back in time. not the cheesy period acting but old world elegance. we started off in the tasting car and enjoyed a sampling of various local wines on the way up to st helena and moved to the dining car on the return trip where i had
the petite medallions of beef which were fabulous! fresh perfectly cooked green beans and fluffy garlic mashers
accompanied my meal. we took the daytime train so we
could enjoy the scenery as we rolled along and had the feeling of royalty from start to finish. the tickets were well
worth the price and i strongly recommend this journey. we
frequently buy friends or family tickets as gifts to rave reviews. if you are new to wine drinking show up early, they will have a short class that explains some of the nuances to enjoying the grape. i strongly recommend springtimewhen all the mustard is in bloom.
