It is very easy to generate a review of THIS business after the first visit. This is no difficult…read moretask because the place is full of a variety of art. Each room contains an artist's work I am interested in, for my own place. Being in this gallery has the feel of being in a museum quality place, not flipping through bulk at an art supply store. This gallery was established in 1985, and is a landmark for me now. The owner has been in this location all the time. It is a world class art gallery. The proprietor is clearly an expert. Our chat-time gave me a ton of insight about Lee Youngman Galleries. The compositions are welcomed for personal purchases, business establishments, and even significant gifts. This is not a small cramped space. This gallery is as classy as they come. And I didn't feel the unwelcome assessment other galleries in that area are apparently obligated to dispense. If you want to enjoy the experience of a fine art purchase, come in here. The memory you create at Lee Youngman Galleries will be a good one

Not only because several of them have works displayed here but because Lee's gracious hospitality and personality are unsurpassed. She is one of the best representatives of fine art in the wine country, if not the entire state. The works that can be viewed here are some of the best to be found anywhere - and always a treat to see for an artist or collector. If you are interested in seeing some of the best fine art California has to offer, in a no pressure environment, that feels like home - this is the place. You won't be disappointed! BTW: She probably doesn't know who I am - but this place and people I have met there have been an inspiration to me....which I thought I should share

As the planner and coordinator for a wedding in July 2014, Belem contacted me through Thumbtack.com…read moreas a possible wedding officiant. First, we shared two or three emails to see if I was a good fit for the bride and groom. There was a very positive connection and she set up a meet-and-greet for the three of us. Usually, my meet-and-greets are just with the couple and don't include the planner. I am so impressed with the time she puts into her planning. The bride, Belem and I went over sample ceremonies and discussed rehearsal details, the layout of the venue, and a timeline she was using leading up to the wedding day. From the beginning, I felt like I had known Belem for years. I highly recommend her for any type of event and I certainly look forward to working with her again myself.

Belem and Gennaro, owners of Piccione Floreale, did an AMAZING job! They were organized and well staffed for the event. They arrived early at the wedding venue to set up and decorate. The bouquets were delivered to the bride and bridesmaids at a separate location for a photo shoot. Belem personally took the time to find the groom and groomsmen to pin their boutonnières as well as the parents. Both Belem and Gennaro were easy to work with. They listened and were considerate of our needs. They have certainly exceeded our expectations. Thank You Piccione Floreale for adding elegance and beauty to our wedding day!

If I had a multi-million dollar home, this would be up to par with that, actually better than any I've seen. The price was quite fair, especially considering the unique nature and quality of work. Update: took some time to sink in just how great job was done. Koos picked a beautiful piece of cherry for the vanity and lined up the grain just right. A work of art. Absolutely perfect.

Gayle and I last visited the Sonoma Plaza area 2 years ago. Since that time, there seems to be more…read morewine tasting places and some turnover in retail shops. I don't recall Changing Seasons Gallery & Gifts the last time we were here, but then again I'm not conducting a census. The other issue after visiting all the gift/home furnishing shops around Sonoma Plaza is that they start looking the same after awhile. As such, Gayle and I wandered around here for several minutes, admired a few interesting glass pieces, listened to some interesting local conversation, and left without much of an impression either way.

Napa Valley Open Studios deftly counters this- and for a good cause, scholarships for students. You can meet artists at their studios, watch them at work, get some artwork yourself. Over the years, I've gone to a secluded home studio atop Mt. Veeder, gone to the Napa Box Building (in a mixed industrial/residential part of town) to behold some surrealism, enjoyed refreshments&artwork at the Jessel Gallery in the Atlas Peak region. There's a huge variety of artists&artwork. It's an educational experience.
