Avow Napa Valley, Napa: Vintner Joe Wagner of Copper Cane Wines & Provisions purchased the historic Fagiani’s bar in downtown Napa in 2016 and is set to reopen the space this month as AVOW. After sitting dormant for over 30 years—Fagiani’s closed in the 70s following the murder of one of its owners—the building was finally resurrected as The Thomas in 2012, then was rebranded as Ninebark a few years later, closing soon after in 2016. Serving California comfort food, AVOW has extended the popular rooftop bar that the other restaurants utilized and has added an awning so it can be enjoyed in all weather. 813 Main St., Napa, 707-203-8900, avownapa.com.
