Ironic you should say that. Francis Ford Coppola has a winery in Napa. The Inglenook label fell on hard times, becoming a cheap jug wine, but years ago Coppola bought it and has been rehabilitating it. I was there in about 2005. In the tasting room he had a bunch of memorabilia from Apocalypse Now. All the wine snobs were horrified. He finally moved it out.

There’s “Inglenook” and “Niebaum-Coppola” near each other in Rutherford actually in Napa Valley. Then there is “Francis Ford Coppola” winery north of Napa Valley in Geyserville, CA. I used to know how all that fit together but I forgot.

Beautiful place, ugly people. I was glad I was able to enjoy it for a time before CA went completely to the dogs.
