    My wife is going to be in Napa for a pretty short trip for a cousins birthday. I may be there for an even shorter portion depending on kids plans. My trip is likely so short that I can't "sneak" off to Russian River itself.

    If I can, that's the easy answer, obviously.

    If I can't (or don't go on the trip), where's the best spot in Napa to find it to go? I assume it's just Pliny and Blind Pig or do others hit distribution? This is more a would love to revisit than a bucket list thing for me. I've had Pliny (Elder and Younger) and Blind Pig as well as several of the "-cations" over the years in Philly so not looking to go crazy myself or my wife over it.

    Thanks!

    Whole Foods would be a good bet.

    Yup, Whole Foods is your spot. You should be able to find pte, blind pig, happy hops, pilsner, and a -tion or two.

    Just circling back for those interested in topic. Pliny and Pils super easy to find around Napa and Sonoma both in restaurants (tap and bottle) and to go.

    I did end up driving up to Santa Rosa "on my way" to Napa from SFO and had some samples and got some cans/bottles. Totally worth it from a bucket list perspective.

    Pliny and Pils even on tap at the bar at our terminal at SFO on the way home.

    Terminal 2 Farmer Brown was the place. Near the delta gates.
