MUSTARD’S MOST MAJOR MONTH? It’s a tricky question, it’s true. We’ll wager, with some confidence, that plenty of people might vote “July” for the simple reason that yellow squeezy bottles of a certain condiment so regularly pop up on picnic tables and near hamburger-laden barbecues. And while the tangy titan of summer, the hot dog-topping wonder that gives our summertime so much zest, is a true July favorite, we also must tip our hat to mustard’s mojo in the wintertime. Nope, we’re not talking about food here but rather flowers, those golden carpets of mustard that bring so much beauty to places that are known for their beauty all year long. It’s Napa Valley that’s associated with the showy blossom, and the winery-laden region is now in the thick of its celebrated wild mustard season, when millions of small and showy flowers pop up near vines, buildings, and the roadside, too.
