I want to start off by thanking all of our employees, on call staff, family and friend for supporting Winery Chefs LLC in 2011. It was an amazing year thanks to our great clients, a list that would be too long to go into but they know who they are and we appreciate all of their support. 2011 included two consulting jobs, first the opening of California Vintage, a wine bar in Hong Kong . This job included menu conception and execution. Chef Kenji spent time with Richard Haake and the team in Napa training. Richard headed over for the opening on 1-11-2011. Winery Chefs LLC continues to develop menus for California Vintage. Learn more at www.cvwinebar.com

Also in 2011 Chef Richard Haake worked with the Mammoth Lakes Foundation to create the first Mammoth Wine and Food Festival. The event was a tremendous success with plans for the second annual event July 2012. Learn more at www.mammothfoodandwine.org . I want to say a special thanks to David and Mimi Katz for their help with the event. They were a joy to work with and I recommend their products and services at www.panevino-napa.com .

Other events this year included Taste of Howell Mountain, American Harvest Workshop, Napa Chefs Market, Premiere Napa Valley, the Napa Valley Wine Auction the Great Napa Valley Chicken Fry, numerous release parties and wine club events.
