That foundation gave us enough confidence to make our first 157 cases, a 1973 Chardonnay from purchased grapes.We were juggling a lot of balls in those early yearsI’m Jack Cakebread, and I’m the one who made the impulsive offer on that Rutherford cow pastureFor years after we started Cakebread Cellars, when Dolores wanted to cook for guests, she had to bring many of the ingredients with her from OaklandDennis spent a decade in the banking industry before joining us and is now the senior vice president of marketing and salesOur farmers’ markets, cheese shops, wine merchants, and well-stocked grocery stores supply almost anything a serious cook could wantAfter my father died, I bought the garage and Dolores helped me run itEarly one morning, we take them to one of our vineyards, pass out grape knives, provide a brief safety lesson (those curved knives are vicious), and then divide the group into two teamsTom Sixsmith, a veteran of several of the country’s top kitchens, is our day-to-day chef.We have been hugely blessed to have two of our three sons choose to make their careers at the winery, so that Cakebread Cellars can remain in family handsThis illustrated cookbook includes an active table of contents for easy navigation22 New & Used from $1.99 Want it Today?Check Store Availability Add to Wishlist
We had to convert the cow pasture we had purchased into a productive vineyard, equip a winery, landscape the property, and build a brand.From the beginning, we welcomed visitors, instinctively sensing that hospitality could and should be our winery’s hallmarkYet no one was making a similar effort to spread the word about the maturing culinary scene in America.In 1985, I met a young Dallas hotelier who shared my thinkingBrian Streeter is the culinary director at Cakebread Cellars, and the coauthor of The Cakebread Cellars Napa Valley CookbookWe learned quickly that the retreat is no place for big egosWith succinct, lively text and beautiful photographs, We ask them to leave their signature dishes at home, to bring no ingredients with them, and to come prepared to explore and experiment with what our purveyors provide
The prospect of growing and selling wine grapes and having a place in the country had a lot of appealQuickview James Beard's All-American Eats: Recipes and Stories from The renowned James Beard Foundation chooses the greatest of America’s homegrown eateries and presents recipes for their craveworthy foodsOur Story in a NutshellDolores and I met in high school in Oakland, as World War II drew to a closeNo transactions take place at the market; it’s strictly show-and-tell and the first exposure the chefs have to the ingredients we expect them to use when the cooking gets under way.The following three days are a whirlwind short course in winemaking, viticulture, artisan food production, and wine and food pairingAbout the time it sinks in that grape picking is hot, sticky, backbreaking work, we call a halt, weigh the bins, and award bragging rightsEach year, we invite five chefs from around the country to be our guests at the winery for four days in mid September to share the excitement of harvest 5c5c846363
