Stonestreet Wine Dinner
US$207.37 per person
Prepaid
Mar 27, 2025 only
Situated on the west side of the Mayacamas Mountain Range overlooking northern Sonoma County, our patchwork of 170 micro-vineyards spans peaks, valleys, and ledges at elevations ranging from 400 to 2,400 feet. We cultivate vines in 26 soil types on slopes and aspects that are impractical to farm—to see how the land tastes when it becomes wine. Our focus is on Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, and we seek exemplary quality. The rewards of high-altitude farming are profound: small, thick-skinned grape clusters of highly distinct character, each site revealing unique flavors, textures, and structures that reflect the immediate surroundings. We invite you to join us at John Ash & Co for an exclusive dinner with Stonestreet Winery. Indulge in the curated selection of wines paired with a 5 course dinner by our Executive Chef, Sergio Howland. $225 per person, inclusive of taxes and fees. Included: -5 course tasting menu -Wine Pairing for each course
Bacigalupi Wine Dinner
US$207.37 per person
Prepaid
Apr 17, 2025 only
Charles and Helen moved to the small town of Healdsburg after graduating from school in San Francisco. Charles worked as the local dentist and Helen as a pharmacist. Always possessing a love of the land the couple decided to move onto Westside Rd in 1956, and purchased 121 acres in 1956. In a simple beginning, Charles began to care for the 16 acres of existing vineyards which included Zinfandel, Mission, Golden Chaslis and Muscat. Charles became friends with Paul Heck (of Korbel) through his dentist practice when Paul would bring the family in for regular check ups. The two would occasionally chat about grapes and wine, sharing insight and advice. Envisioning the demand for premium wine grapes, Paul encouraged Charles to plant Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. In 1964, Charles began his plantings with six acres of each varietal. Eventually he obtained Pinot Noir bud wood from Karl Wente, the first well documented plantings of Pinot Noir in the Russian River Valley. Charles remembers Wente telling him the stock had come from France via the family’s old vineyard in Livermore. Charles and his son, John worked alongside each other, perfecting their viticulture techniques and expanding the vineyards. The Bacigalupi’s gained recognition as growers during the 1976 Paris tasting when the 1973 Napa Valley Chardonnay from Château Montelena with Bacigalupi fruit triumphed over many acclaimed French wines to be declared the undisputed winner. We invite you to join us at John Ash & Co for an exclusive dinner with Bacigalupi Vineyards. Indulge in the curated selection of wines paired with a 5 course dinner by our Executive Chef, Sergio Howland. $225 per person, inclusive of taxes and fees.

This was a special Valentine’s Day menu. The chef made accommodations for my shellfish allergy with a delicious melon gazpacho. We both ordered the veal and venison. Excellent! The wine pairings were good as well. Especially the Cabernet with the main course.

An elegant and tasteful venue with farm to table dishes. My husband and I came into town for a night and were treated like family regardless of us being the last seated reservation for the night. The drinks were excellent paired with the cuisine with views, although seen in the night, were truly to admire. We’ll definitely be back again, as it was the perfect date to celebrate.

This has long been one of our go-to restaurants for special occasions—but that seems to be over. Our first clue was the “temporary all-day menu,” only offering a half dozen or so main dishes, plus appetizers and desserts. I thought they’d given us the lunch menu, but the server apologetically told us they’re going through “some changes” and this was all they offer. The main dishes included tacos, a burger, a pasta dish, a chicken dish, cioppino, short ribs and a steak. That’s pretty much it. My wife went with the short ribs, which were served on polenta with a reduction sauce that overwhelmed the entire dish and was definitely not to our tastes. I had the steak, which came with a side of fries. It was fine, but certainly nothing special. Like they told us, “change is coming.” Sadly, it seems not for the better.
