Sample of banana pancakes from the vintner's valley (4)
I believe the answer is:
napa
'the vintner's valley' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'sample of banana pancakes from' is the wordplay.
'sample of' indicates a hidden word (I've seen this in other clues).
'NAPA' is hidden in the letters of 'banana pancakes from'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for napa that I've seen before include "soft skin" , "California wine valley" , "Californian valley, famous for wine" .)
