As the train rolls at a peaceful pace past 27 wineries and manicured vineyards, passengers can sip local Chardonnays, Cabernet Sauvignons, Pinot Noirs or other premium varietals as they dine in luxuriously refurbished Pullman cars, vintage 1915-70. Executive chef Patrick Finney's menu may include filet mignon marinated in red wine and herbs and served with Cabernet-Roquefort sauce. Those who are into food as much as wine are invited by Chef Finney to stroll down to the mahogany-paneled galley and look into the kitchen, where his crew does...
