Review of Francis Ford Coppola Winery

Dear Mr. Coppola, Thank you for a wonderful experience while visiting your winery. We went to your restaurant and had a wonderful lunch and enjoyed the little white bag of bread served prior to lunch. We then toured your cinema museum which I might add is not only nostalgic but spectacular. Thank you for sharing your Academy Awards with us as that was the first time we had ever seen one live and up close. It was also awesome to see Vito Corleone's desk, Tuckers Car and Dracula armor. But, what I really came for was to see the memorabilia of one of my favorite films of all time-Apocalypse Now. You see, I saw the film when I was 7 years old with my dad and as you can imagine it is forever etched in my mind. Nonetheless, I wish I could have seen the PBR, but seeing Col. Kurtz's regalia, the Air Mobile surf board and unused film was a AN fan's dream come true. Thank you for that. We also booked the actual wine tour and your winery is absolutely amazing. Likewise, our guide (the guy with the long bushy eyebrows) did a fantastic job explaining the intricacies of wine production. It was a day of days for us driving up to your winery in Napa Valley and a experience I will soon not forget. Thank you kind sir for your the contribution(s) to the history of cinema, the memories of those films in my life and being able to come to a place to reminesce and pay respect to you and your body of work. God Bless to you and your family and I hope to visit some of your resorts in Latin America.
