Chef
Charlie Palmer, Chef Dustin Valette and Dry Creek Kitchen announce a
one-of-a-kind dinner series showcasing the rich culinary and wine heritage of
the region. Introducing Winemaker’s Kitchen Table at Dry Creek Kitchen,
a monthly community supper hosted by top vintners serving their prized wines
and personal family recipes.
First
in our series is Nikolai Stez, Woodenhead Winery's winemaker
and proprietor, who has been at fermentation since he was a boy making
the traditional Russian drink “kvas” (a fermented bread or fruit drink) that
his immigrant parents taught him to make. After studying
under Williams-Selyem founding winemaker, Burt Williams, Stez is now known
as one of the Russian River Valley’s best winemakers. Stez continues to
pay homage to his Russian roots while combining them on the table with the
local bounty of Northern California. Enjoy a truly unique dinner
experience showcasing award-winning Woodenhead wines paired with a meal
composed of Stez family recipes.
