About WINE, FOOD & FRIENDS:
The Bay Area and the wine regions of Napa and Sonoma Valley are known for their bounty in world-class food and wine. To highlight local winemakers, Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco is turning the traditional wine dinner upside down with “Wine, Food & Friends.”
The monthly gathering of friends in the food and wine industry highlights a celebrated winery and the culinary expertise of chefs Cyrille Pannier and Esteban Soria in an intimate setting of 12. Taking place every fourth Thursday of the month in MKT Restaurant-Bar, guests are seated with the chef and winemaker at the table, for a truly memorable experience.
“It’s been amazing to get to know the guests with the smaller setting,” said Chef Esteban Soria. “We are able to really share the beauty behind every dish and the wine, while having a fun evening in MKT.”
About Kenefick Ranch Vineyards
Kenefick Ranch Vineyards are located in Napa Valley’s northern most AVA – Calistoga. For nearly 25 years, Kenefick Ranch has sold its grapes to such prestigious labels as Caymus, Joseph Phelps, Shafer, and Pride Mountain. In 2002, Tom retired from neurosurgery and Kenefick Ranch began producing and selling its own portfolio of award-winning wines. And today – complemented by advanced vineyard techniques and state-of-the-art winemaking – Kenefick Ranch is still reminiscent of the working ranch it was during the nascent days of the Napa Valley.
The entirety of the Calistoga AVA is underlain by volcanic bedrock and sediments more geologically uniform than other Napa Valley AVAs with valley floor environments. Almost completely of volcanic origin, soils range from rocky, stony loam on the hillsides, to gravelly or cobbly loams on the alluvial fans, and heavier clay-silt soils in the valley center areas. Volcanic soils yield more minerals for limiting nutrients that grapes need and allow for better drainage which is better for root development. Further, thinner volcanic soils lead to less green growth and more concentration of flavor within the berries. As a reputable grower, we’re able to control vine quality and produce consistent flavors and characters within small vineyard blocks.
