I have lived in the Napa Valley all my life. It is a wonderful place with such beauty and a great place for people who love food and wine! Stews and Soups. Wintertime comfort food. Learning more everyday. I had to do a food and wine pairing for my class of 45 people. I made braised short ribs in a Petit Verdot reduction. Used all organic and local product. Turned out fabulous. People asked if I was a professional chef. Me? A Chef? Wow!
