Chef Ari Weiswasser’s Guide To California Wine Country

GLEN ELLEN STAR - SONOMA, CA

The road to California wasn’t a straight line for Pennsylvania native chef Ari Weiswasser, but the wealth of experience he gathered along the way is evident in the food he cooks. Before realizing a decade-long dream to open his own place, he worked in New York at esteemed restaurants like Daniel, Picholine, and Corton. In Philadelphia, he worked at Striped Bass and Le Bec-Fin. He also had a long stint at The French Laundry. 

Weiswasser’s restaurant, Glen Ellen Star, is a casual bistro with an emphasis on the location and the seasons. He loves living in Sonoma and being a part of the wine country, where his in-laws own Benziger Family Winery.

Chef Ari Weiswasser shares his 6 Things…Wine Country with his favorite places to eat, drink and food shop.  READ MORE

Find. Eat. Drink.

I receive a number of food, wine and design newsletters and a new one I was introduced to is Find. Eat. Drink.  I dig it.  The look is clean, the information straight-forward and the editorial is interesting which can be tricky these days, funny enough.  I liked this piece today - a snapshot of Caroline Styne’s, AOC-Tavern-Larder, take on food and wine in Los Angeles.  She knows what she’s talking about and is not steering any of us wrong.  

Disclaimer: AOC has been one of my favorite restaurants since it opened almost 10 years ago and we make chef Suzanne Goin’s sweet potatoes almost every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.  Yes, that’s how good they are.
