Bottlerock Information

Here’s a link to the Napa Valley Register article I cited at length in the episode.

Here’s the original 2013 lineup, highlighting all days of the festival, including the comedians that were booked. The first festival occurred Mother’s Day Weekend, May 9-12.

Here’s the 2024 lineup, also discussed in the episode.
One item I forgot to mention in the episode is the Culinary Stage, the lineup for which was released this week. This stage is a mix of chefs and celebrities, on a stage located centrally between the two main stages, and near the main eating area. They usually go on in between sets on the main stage. It was at this stage that Snoop set the world record for the world’s largest gin and juice.

Here are the five acts to check out this year, as mentioned in the episode:

  1. Royel Otis
  1. Say She She
  1. Grace Bowers
  1. Momma
  1. The Beaches

Towards the end of the episode, I mentioned some wineries I have stopped by, when I’m recovering after Bottlerock. I included some links below:

Bouchaine was the main winery I mentioned, and where I got the pinot noir I enjoyed in the episode.
This is a tasting room in Yountville, and one of my favorites to bike to. Wonderful service, and tasty wine pairings (I mentioned the red wine and bacon pairing in the episode).
Be sure to give yourself time for the goodies here – there’s usually a line.
In the episode, I mentioned stopping Downtown before or after the fest. One of the tasting rooms that’s always treated me well is Rebel Vintners, both to pregame and to recover.
Want a rooftop view? I’ve grabbed a drink on top of the beautiful Archer Hotel, at the Sky and Vine Rooftop Bar. All of this is a short walk from the festival.

Cheers!
