Napa Gourmet

I read with interest Michael Walker’s article “Napa Nest” (Weekend Escape, Jan. 26).

It is unfortunate that Walker was not lucky enough to dine at the French Laundry in Yountville but made a comment that it was “Napa Valley’s swanky restaurant of the moment.” My wife and I have dined many times at the French Laundry in the last two years. Thomas Keller is probably the most creative chef in the country today.

If we have one last meal, I hope and pray it will be Keller’s.
