By far the most innovative cooking on the North Coast. One of the best foie gras preparations I've ever had. This restaurant is unlike any in the area, and deserves mention along side some of California's best

Thank you, jpwood76!

Esterlina Winemaker's Dinner a Smashing Success!

Last night, the Restaurant at Stevenswood hosted a Winemaker's Dinner with Esterlina Vineyards. The menu turned out to be 10 courses, each paired with wine, and a surprise scoop of Esterlina port wine ice cream paired with Esterlina port wine - delicious!

Chef Patrick Meany spoke about each course before it was presented (see photo below) followed by a presentation of the pairing by Eric Sterling, winemaker for Esterlina Vineyards.

The evening received many accolades from our guests and was a huge success!

Watermelon Tartare at Winesong!

The chef had prepared a "Watermelon Tartare," a play on traditional steak tartare, for the guests at Winesong! What is usually raw steak was instead raw heirloom tomatoes and watermelon, pickled watermelon rind, and basil with a pineapple "yolk" - encapsulated pineapple juice.
