The general first item to come off anyone’s tongue is “oh, it sure gets hot there,” which is true that there are a handful of days in the summer where highs hit the triple digits. Of course, the same happens in many local cities, but our local meteorologists always seem to emphasize Livermore being scorching hot as if it’s Palm Springs (it’s not).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Livermore is close to where the windmills are when you’re driving out to Tahoe and it’s where the traffic is always bad because Bay Area home prices have made Tracy now a defacto part of the Bay Area. Livermore has the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Oh, and of course, it has those giant wine producers Wente and Concannon, which don’t have the most sterling reputations for their supermarket budget bottles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Livermore is all those things or has all of them. But, they’re all so lightly skimming the surface of what truly is the Bay Area’s “other” marquee wine region that none of those remotely describe the exciting culture and beauty that a weekend in Livermore presents. Sure, there’s Wente and Concannon, but the Livermore Valley has 55 tastings rooms, many of which are small, family-run places that offer wine on par with the likes of Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Santa Cruz Mountains. Taste a Cuda Ridge Semillon and you’ll understand that this is far from mass-produced airline wine. Then there are the golf courses, the restaurants, the breweries, the...you get the idea. All of this in a major wine region just an hour from San Francisco (not at rush hour) and free of hoity-toity $100 tastings. Don’t get us wrong — we’d gladly spend as many weekends as possible hopping winery to winery in Sonoma County and Napa Valley and the Santa Cruz Mountains. However, whether it’s 100 degree or 60 degrees, it’s hard to beat the Bay Area’s formerly underappreciated \u003ci>other\u003c/i> wine region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a food and wine-packed weekend that proves that Livermore Valley is in the big leagues of California wine countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note: Livermore isn’t split up by districts or appellations or rivers or mountains as much as it’s just divided by directions and roads. In general, the climate across the valley is relatively similar, but the soil types differ and vineyard elevation gradually lowers the further west you travel according to winemaker Steven Kent Mirassou. For our wine-filled weekend exploring, we’ve divided the four Livermore Valley winery segments somewhat geographically (Greenville Road, Tesla Road, Westside, the Block at East End) because we’d rather have 15 extra minutes of wine than extra time on the road, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Saturday\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Breakfast: \u003ca href=\"http://c-cbakery.com/\">Casse-Croûte Bakery\u003c/a>\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Casse+Croute+Bakery/@37.6824881,-121.7686966,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x434a5ee5869b8f89?ved=2ahUKEwjAtsO2mK3gAhWUPH0KHZOnCEIQ_BIwCnoECAQQCA\">\u003cem>50 S Livermore Ave.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132362\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-132362\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/Casse-Croute-Bakery-e1549572307646.png\" alt=\"Casse-Croute Bakery\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Casse-Croûte Bakery \u003ccite>(Casse-Croûte Bakery)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Husband-and-wife team Richard Denoix and Lenore Colarusso-Denoix’s French bakery is a huge reason why waking up in Livermore isn’t so hard, or is a wonderful treat after an early drive to town to kickstart the weekend. Richard grew up in rural southeast France and, after long periods serving in the French Air Force and then software after immigrating to the U.S., he decided to switch gears and bake French breads and pastries. If it’s a breakfast hour, opt for a croissant and an apple turnover.

Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and a brut sparkling wine made of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are the go-to wines at 3 Steves, but the whole roster is one of the strongest in the valley.

Cabernet Sauvignon is McGrail’s calling card and the estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon is indeed stellar. As you’ll see across these two days of tastings, one of Livermore’s big debates, for better or worse, is that there isn’t a “signature” grape. With McGrail, you know which grape is the boss. It will no doubt be the highlight at this gorgeous tasting room with palm trees outside and a bocce ball court. Sadly, the winery’s founder Jim McGrail (a former Alameda County cop and prosecutor) passed away last year, but the winery continues to produce outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon (and Chardonnay and a few other wines) under longtime winemaker Mark Clarin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Lunch: \u003ca href=\"https://posadarestaurant.com/\">Posada or Posada on Wheels\u003c/a>\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Posada/@37.676296,-121.784712,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xa2ea1dd018e22129!8m2!3d37.676296!4d-121.784712\">\u003cem>988 Murrieta Blvd.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132370\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-132370 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/IMG_4101-e1549667723799.jpg\" alt=\"Posada on Wheels\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1900\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Posada on Wheels.

Try the chicken enchiladas or adobo rack of lamb with New Mexico chile rojo, and you’ll understand. However, there is a new Posada on the scene and, it’s oh so conveniently usually parked in the warehouse wine district called The Block at East End. Luckily, there are no shortage of wine options for taking your blackened pork belly tacos and watermelon salad with mango-habanero vinaigrette. The truck offers an exciting chance for chef and co-owner Eduardo Posada to serve slightly edgier, appropriately portable food to a winery and brewery audience.

You’ve got a handful of wineries to choose from, one next to the other next to the other in the Block at East End. Start at Nottingham Cellars, where winemaker Collin Cranor (the son of founder Jeff Cranor) and Craig Ploof (formerly assistant winemaker at the acclaimed Steven Kent Winery that you’ll visit tomorrow) craft excellent Bordeaux varietal wines and Chardonnay, served in a sleek gallery-like space.

Red blends like the “Coccineous” with mostly Tempranillo and Syrah are the main strength at Las Positas, but you’ll also enjoy several atypical varietal offerings like an Albariño or the rare Barbera from Livermore. Here’s another catch in the spacious, clearly Tuscan-inspired space: outstanding locally made chocolates paired with certain wines that raise eyebrows but actually work, like a matcha truffle with Chardonnay and mint-chocolate chip truffle with a Tempranillo-Barbera-Nebbiolo rosé (!).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://cudaridgewines.com/\">\u003cb>Cuda Ridge\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Cuda+Ridge+Winery/@37.654755,-121.766572,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xecbfa7fbebed930c!8m2!3d37.654755!4d-121.766572\">\u003cem>2400 Arroyo Rd.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132369\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-132369 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/IMG_4085-e1549667747994.jpg\" alt=\"Cuda Ridge\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1425\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cuda Ridge Wines.

However, pound for pound and sip for sip, this writer found the most impressive regional wines to be at this final spot that bypasses any splashy tasting room vibe or gimmicky wines for focusing on great, carefully built Bordeaux-style wines. Co-owner/winemaker Larry Dino still produces fewer than 3,000 cases total, highlighted by a superb Semillon with a distinct tangy melon personality; a fruit-forward and vibrant Cabernet Franc; and the valley’s finest Petit Verdot and Malbec offerings, the latter being at 12.5% alcohol, and showing calmer, brighter personality than the ubiquitous Malbec from Argentina. Occasionally Dino dabbles in “black label” non-Bordeaux wines like Sangiovese, but make no mistake, you’re here for the Bordeaux, which was the resolute inspiration for why he opened this winery a dozen years ago after learning the craft at nearby Las Positas College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bid farewell to Livermore with a last sip of the Cuda Ridge’s Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and go spread the word: Livermore is serious wine country.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"36 hours of delicious food and wine in the oft-forgotten Livermore Valley wine region.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1550796318,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":46,"wordCount":3456},"headData":{"title":"A Perfect Weekend in Livermore Valley Wine Country | KQED","description":"36 hours of delicious food and wine in the oft-forgotten Livermore Valley wine region.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Article","headline":"A Perfect Weekend in Livermore Valley Wine Country","datePublished":"2019-02-09T00:20:28.000Z","dateModified":"2019-02-22T00:45:18.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}},"disqusIdentifier":"132348 https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/?p=132348","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2019/02/08/a-perfect-weekend-in-livermore-valley-wine-country/","disqusTitle":"A Perfect Weekend in Livermore Valley Wine Country","path":"/bayareabites/132348/a-perfect-weekend-in-livermore-valley-wine-country","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Livermore the town and valley brings up several things in the mind of Bay Area residents. The general first item to come off anyone’s tongue is “oh, it sure gets hot there,” which is true that there are a handful of days in the summer where highs hit the triple digits. Of course, the same happens in many local cities, but our local meteorologists always seem to emphasize Livermore being scorching hot as if it’s Palm Springs (it’s not).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Livermore is close to where the windmills are when you’re driving out to Tahoe and it’s where the traffic is always bad because Bay Area home prices have made Tracy now a defacto part of the Bay Area. Livermore has the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Oh, and of course, it has those giant wine producers Wente and Concannon, which don’t have the most sterling reputations for their supermarket budget bottles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Livermore is all those things or has all of them. But, they’re all so lightly skimming the surface of what truly is the Bay Area’s “other” marquee wine region that none of those remotely describe the exciting culture and beauty that a weekend in Livermore presents. Sure, there’s Wente and Concannon, but the Livermore Valley has 55 tastings rooms, many of which are small, family-run places that offer wine on par with the likes of Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Santa Cruz Mountains. Taste a Cuda Ridge Semillon and you’ll understand that this is far from mass-produced airline wine. Then there are the golf courses, the restaurants, the breweries, the...you get the idea. All of this in a major wine region just an hour from San Francisco (not at rush hour) and free of hoity-toity $100 tastings. Don’t get us wrong — we’d gladly spend as many weekends as possible hopping winery to winery in Sonoma County and Napa Valley and the Santa Cruz Mountains. However, whether it’s 100 degree or 60 degrees, it’s hard to beat the Bay Area’s formerly underappreciated \u003ci>other\u003c/i> wine region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a food and wine-packed weekend that proves that Livermore Valley is in the big leagues of California wine countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note: Livermore isn’t split up by districts or appellations or rivers or mountains as much as it’s just divided by directions and roads. In general, the climate across the valley is relatively similar, but the soil types differ and vineyard elevation gradually lowers the further west you travel according to winemaker Steven Kent Mirassou. For our wine-filled weekend exploring, we’ve divided the four Livermore Valley winery segments somewhat geographically (Greenville Road, Tesla Road, Westside, the Block at East End) because we’d rather have 15 extra minutes of wine than extra time on the road, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Saturday\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Breakfast: \u003ca href=\"http://c-cbakery.com/\">Casse-Croûte Bakery\u003c/a>\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Casse+Croute+Bakery/@37.6824881,-121.7686966,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x434a5ee5869b8f89?ved=2ahUKEwjAtsO2mK3gAhWUPH0KHZOnCEIQ_BIwCnoECAQQCA\">\u003cem>50 S Livermore Ave.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132362\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-132362\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/Casse-Croute-Bakery-e1549572307646.png\" alt=\"Casse-Croute Bakery\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Casse-Croûte Bakery \u003ccite>(Casse-Croûte Bakery)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Husband-and-wife team Richard Denoix and Lenore Colarusso-Denoix’s French bakery is a huge reason why waking up in Livermore isn’t so hard, or is a wonderful treat after an early drive to town to kickstart the weekend.

Indeed, there are a trio of men named Steve who decided, hey, let’s start a winery and there’s a pretty obvious name for that winery: our names! 3 Steves is part of the Greenville Road area of the Livermore Valley, which is the most quintessential “wine country” part of the area with the panoramic views of rows of vines and sweeping hillsides that brochures and magazines often feature. Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and a brut sparkling wine made of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are the go-to wines at 3 Steves, but the whole roster is one of the strongest in the valley.

Cabernet Sauvignon is McGrail’s calling card and the estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon is indeed stellar. As you’ll see across these two days of tastings, one of Livermore’s big debates, for better or worse, is that there isn’t a “signature” grape. With McGrail, you know which grape is the boss. It will no doubt be the highlight at this gorgeous tasting room with palm trees outside and a bocce ball court. Sadly, the winery’s founder Jim McGrail (a former Alameda County cop and prosecutor) passed away last year, but the winery continues to produce outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon (and Chardonnay and a few other wines) under longtime winemaker Mark Clarin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Lunch: \u003ca href=\"https://posadarestaurant.com/\">Posada or Posada on Wheels\u003c/a>\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Posada/@37.676296,-121.784712,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xa2ea1dd018e22129!8m2!3d37.676296!4d-121.784712\">\u003cem>988 Murrieta Blvd.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132370\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-132370 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/IMG_4101-e1549667723799.jpg\" alt=\"Posada on Wheels\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1900\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Posada on Wheels.

Try the chicken enchiladas or adobo rack of lamb with New Mexico chile rojo, and you’ll understand. However, there is a new Posada on the scene and, it’s oh so conveniently usually parked in the warehouse wine district called The Block at East End. Luckily, there are no shortage of wine options for taking your blackened pork belly tacos and watermelon salad with mango-habanero vinaigrette. The truck offers an exciting chance for chef and co-owner Eduardo Posada to serve slightly edgier, appropriately portable food to a winery and brewery audience.

Nottingham also produces some notable \"Typicité\" Pinot Noirs, led by a leaner, red berry-forward 2017 from the Santa Lucia Highlands. The winery has a sibling brand called Vasco Urbano that focuses on Rhone style reds and Petite Sirah.

Most of all, though, it’s the cooking of chef Bill Niles who deftly weaves together global touches into a distinctly Californian template with top-notch ingredients: Rio Oso grapefruit with fried parsnip and fresh burrata, relaxed and mega-umami versions of Fort Bragg uni on toast and hot chicken wings with fermented chili sauce, a hearty roast half chicken with Anson Mills polenta and spring garlic jus.

Here, you’ll find one of the more unique wines (and uniquely named wines) in Livermore Valley: the Page Mill GPS, a typical Rhone red blend that swaps out Mourvèdre for Petite Sirah, a grape that many consider Livermore Valley’s signature varietal since Page Mill’s neighbors at Concannon were the first American winery to make a bottle of the varietal itself. For this writer who grew up as a neighbor of the original Page Mill Winery location near Palo Alto on the actual Page Mill Road, it’s still hard to think of Page Mill Winery…in Livermore. That was the decision made by the Stark family in 2004 to be closer to the grapes and to have more physical space than just making wine at their actual house. Owner/winemaker Dane Stark is in charge these days of the operation across the Bay and the wide range of wines are consistent winners from Tempranillo to Cabernet Sauvignon to Chardonnay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Lunch: \u003ca href=\"https://wentevineyards.com/dine/restaurant\">The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards\u003c/a>\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+Restaurant+%7C+Wente+Vineyards/@37.6233946,-121.7560431,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xe29ab050c2cf6ba6!8m2!3d37.6233946!4d-121.7560431\">\u003cem>5050 Arroyo Rd.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132363\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-132363 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/December-2018_VT-Experience-e1549667978884.jpg\" alt=\"The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1637\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards.

Thankfully, despite making wine with a remarkable 14 different grape varieties, Las Positas is one of the exceptions and doesn’t neglect what’s in the bottle. Red blends like the “Coccineous” with mostly Tempranillo and Syrah are the main strength at Las Positas, but you’ll also enjoy several atypical varietal offerings like an Albariño or the rare Barbera from Livermore. Here’s another catch in the spacious, clearly Tuscan-inspired space: outstanding locally made chocolates paired with certain wines that raise eyebrows but actually work, like a matcha truffle with Chardonnay and mint-chocolate chip truffle with a Tempranillo-Barbera-Nebbiolo rosé (!).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://cudaridgewines.com/\">\u003cb>Cuda Ridge\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Cuda+Ridge+Winery/@37.654755,-121.766572,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xecbfa7fbebed930c!8m2!3d37.654755!4d-121.766572\">\u003cem>2400 Arroyo Rd.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132369\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-132369 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/IMG_4085-e1549667747994.jpg\" alt=\"Cuda Ridge\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1425\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cuda Ridge Wines.

Co-owner/winemaker Larry Dino still produces fewer than 3,000 cases total, highlighted by a superb Semillon with a distinct tangy melon personality; a fruit-forward and vibrant Cabernet Franc; and the valley’s finest Petit Verdot and Malbec offerings, the latter being at 12.5% alcohol, and showing calmer, brighter personality than the ubiquitous Malbec from Argentina. Occasionally Dino dabbles in “black label” non-Bordeaux wines like Sangiovese, but make no mistake, you’re here for the Bordeaux, which was the resolute inspiration for why he opened this winery a dozen years ago after learning the craft at nearby Las Positas College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bid farewell to Livermore with a last sip of the Cuda Ridge’s Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and go spread the word: Livermore is serious wine country.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/132348/a-perfect-weekend-in-livermore-valley-wine-country","authors":["11338"],"categories":["bayareabites_13306","bayareabites_1244","bayareabites_1653","bayareabites_8770","bayareabites_11028","bayareabites_10028","bayareabites_13746","bayareabites_1146","bayareabites_61","bayareabites_119"],"tags":["bayareabites_1121","bayareabites_13419","bayareabites_81"],"featImg":"bayareabites_132361","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_132302":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_132302","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"132302","score":null,"sort":[1549306367000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"table-talk-a-taste-of-la-calenda-ramen-night-valentines-day-dinners","title":"Table Talk: A Taste of La Calenda, Ramen Night, Valentine’s Day Dinners","publishDate":1549306367,"format":"standard","headTitle":"KQED’s Table Talk | Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"term":16115,"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cp>Take a look at the new Mexican restaurant, La Calenda, from Thomas Keller Restaurant Group, The Saratoga is hosting a weekly ramen special on Wednesdays, and three Valentine’s Day dinners worth the expense and hassle of going out on a very busy night of hearts and flowers.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Thomas Keller’s Mexican Restaurant, La Calenda, Is Unsurprisingly Quite Delicious\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.lacalendamex.com\">La Calenda\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://6518%20Washington%20St,%20Yountville,%20CA%2094599\">6518 Washington St., Yountville\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nOpen daily 5pm–11pm\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132304\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-132304\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/02/la-calenda-negroni-800x1201.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1201\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Negroni de Hongos. \u003ccite>(tablehopper.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In an unexpected move from the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group, they opened a casual Mexican restaurant in Yountville, in the former Hurley’s, where you’ll now find destination-worthy tacos and more. \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.lacalendamex.com\">La Calenda\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>'s chef de cuisine is Kaelin Ulrich Trilling, who was raised in Oaxaca — he worked on his father’s tomato farm, and his mother, Susana Trilling, is a known culinary personality, with a PBS series and cooking school (Seasons of My Heart), and many cookbooks.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At La Calenda, he was able to introduce purveyors and artisans from his home region to Yountville.

It’s in the former Sofia Cafe, and the menu is focused on just one thing: khao mun gai (Thai slow-poached chicken over chicken fat rice, with a side of chicken broth and sliced cucumbers seasoned with a lightly spicy sesame dressing). It’s a classic dish in Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, and the three sauces they offer reflect the three locales: the Thai sauce here is made of soy, ginger, and cilantro; in Singapore, it’s called \u003ci>hainan gai\u003c/i>, served with a sauce of ginger and spring onions; while in Vietnam at Hoi An, it would be \u003ci>com ga\u003c/i>, with a sauce of ginger, citrus, and fish sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a fast-casual place: you order at the counter, and for $12.95, you get breast and thigh meat, although you can request breast only, dark meat only ($10.95), or tofu. You can also swap out the white rice for brown, or cabbage salad. That’s it, nice and simple. The chicken is juicy and tender, although I found the rice to be overcooked and not “fragrant” enough, but the cucumbers had more personality than most places. I also like a bit more punch in my Thai KMG sauce (and soybeans). I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here, but if I lived in the neighborhood, I’d be there quite a bit (I love KMG—it’s an antidote to the overindulgence that happens if you're a restaurant columnist).\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can drink wine, beer, Thai iced tea, Vietnamese iced coffee, sodas, and coconut water.

It wafts pleasantly of fish sauce, and the Beach Boys were playing, and I was instantly charmed—and I hadn’t even seen the disco bathroom light yet. It’s perfect for lunch: dishes are well-made, and taste so fresh and so clean clean. It’s not about quantity here (with sub-par ingredients)—it’s more about being just-right and quality.

It’s a classic dish in Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, and the three sauces they offer reflect the three locales: the Thai sauce here is made of soy, ginger, and cilantro; in Singapore, it’s called \u003ci>hainan gai\u003c/i>, served with a sauce of ginger and spring onions; while in Vietnam at Hoi An, it would be \u003ci>com ga\u003c/i>, with a sauce of ginger, citrus, and fish sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a fast-casual place: you order at the counter, and for $12.95, you get breast and thigh meat, although you can request breast only, dark meat only ($10.95), or tofu.
