Oxbow Wine & Cheese Merchant

Kind of redundant to review Oxbow market and Fieldwork brewing. Fieldwork is inside the market with 24 taps at $2/4oz taster of awesome beers. The rest of market has great foods and wines, but little beers. Best place in Napa.

Little tasting bar and bottle shop located in the Oxbow Market, just across from Hog Island Oyster Bar.

The beer list here is very small, maybe a half dozen taps you can find most places and a handful of bottles in the cooler. Seemed to have a better wine selection and they do have some cool cheeses as well (all that Point Reyes blue...nom).

I know Napa isn’t a beer town, but even here you can do better than this. Might as well go to a Chili’s.

Plus: Next to Hog Island Oyster Bar Minus: Bar prices for a local bomber. At opening service was a bit confused. Not many bottles. $9.95 seemed excessive for a Mare Island bomber. Still, it would have been a gasoline cost to drive to Vallejo. :)

Great place with a vast selection of cheeses, geeky selection of wine and a handfull of delicious beers in bottle and 5 on draft. Ambience alone is worth the stop as this place is located within the OXBOW public market... which is awesome. Pliny on draft almost always, seasonal stuff from a few local breweries, tons of cheese and snakes and TV... what else do you really need?
