The Restaurant's exceptional wine list allows for wine pairings that truly complement the menu. Chef Christopher Kostow employs well-grounded, classic techniques to the ingredients, but it is the ingredients that give Napa Valley cuisine its character. Whereas a winemaker looks for ripeness in the vineyard in order to express the sense of place, Chef Kostow looks for foods that are expressions of the place and exhibit a sense of balance both in each dish and in it's relationship to wine. With a wine list of 950 wines, Meadowood sommelier Rom Toulon finds it intriguing to pair wines which heighten the flavor of the food.
