"When we finally had enough cell signal, we decided to take a chance on Pacifico for Dinner. It was better than we hoped. We are picky about mole and this was superb.
Fish tacos were amazing. Tacos Dorados and Enchiladas also were excellent.
Staff were friendly, kind, and just lovely. And after a very long day of traveling it was just what we needed."

The 7 Best Red Wines From Napa Valley’s Famed Calistoga AVA
The vines are cooled by Pacific air that enters Napa Valley through gaps in the northwestern hills and temperature fluctuations during the summer can be as much as 60 degrees with hot sun filled days and cold, breezy nights. The soils are predominately volcanic and most of the plantations are red grape varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Merlot, Syrah, and Zinfandel. We tasted more than 40 Calistoga AVA wines this week, and these are our seven favorites, they include a red blend, Merlot, Syrah, and a few Cabernet Sauvignons.
