In 2014, when Aubrey Bailey left her job at the world-famous French Laundry restaurant to open a bar in downtown Napa, expectations were low. “Everyone told me, ‘You’ll be back in six months,’” she says, laughing. Instead, Bailey’s Cadet Wine + Beer Bar played a major role in the revitalization of Napa’s formerly sleepy downtown.

Glass in all its permutations and assorted clever designs still confidently reigns with few challengers in the segments ranging from super-premium (about $20-plus) on up, but the diversity and growing market strength of alternatives is noneth

Expensive young whiskey still exists in the craft sector, but now we also have offerings such as Jeptha Creed Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon 6 Years Old.
