Inglenook does produce good wines, and it is owned by a famous Hollywood director. That’s about all this place has going for it.

Is there a bistro at Inglenook?

I’ve been to Inglenook previously; hence the return. We stopped by for lunch with wines because they advertised a bistro….which it doesn’t even come close to the definition of one. It was basically 1 type of salami, a few cheeses and crackers. A poor take on several of the charcuterie boards I had at other wineries in Napa valley.
