Item Description

DINING- Executive Chef and Culinary Director Jeffrey Starr will travel from Trinchero Winery in St. Helena to your home to prepare a meal personally created for you and your guests. Each course will be created using the freshest of local ingredients available in harmony with a limited production Trinchero Napa Valley single vineyard reserve wine.

Jeffrey Starr's career path led him through some of the finest restaurants in America before he found his way to the Napa Valley wine country. Upon graduation with a degree in Agricultural Science and Management (emphasis in Food Science) from the University of California at Davis, Jeffrey spent the next seven years in restaurant management, often in charge of the kitchen.

This experience led him to Dakota's in Dallas and Jeffrey helped open Dallas' exclusive Crescent Club. While there Jeffrey met Mark Miller, who invited him to come to Santa Fe to open a new venture, Coyote Café. This was followed by a tenure as Executive Chef at Malibu Adobe, in Malibu, California.

Jeffrey found himself much in demand as a private chef and eventually started his own catering business, Starr Caterers. In 1996, the Trinchero family invited Jeffrey to become the winery's full-time chef and he has been instrumental in the development of the Company's culinary education programs.

Named Napa Valley Mustard Festival Chef of the Year in 2000 and 2001, Jeffrey served as Culinary Chair for the Napa Valley Wine Auction 2003, the world's largest charity wine auction. He has been Guest Chef for the Aspen Food and Wine Classic kick-off reception and at the James Beard House in New York City.

And now...in your home!

Item Special Note
