Chef Taylor
Our new friend in the Sierras, Chef Sadie Taylor began cooking as a kid and now specializes in private cheffing near Yosemite.
Sadie was brought up in her family’s restaurant business— learning by doing, she mastered what was on offer and has continuously expanded a unique culinary repertoire in her ventures.
Chef Taylor’s style focuses on supporting local, small farmers and using the season’s best offerings in creating a special take on California fare while crafting menus that are both experimental and approachable, thriving on cooking for the community, from what the community has to offer.
From the Wineries
- Scott Harvey Wines, 2021 Jana Dry Reisling.
100% Riesling Crowe Vineyard, Benton City, Yakima Valley, Washington State.
Well balanced with delicate minerality and hints of jasmine, orange blossom, and honey suckle. This delicate varietal Riesling shows the light terpenes reminiscent of the wonderful Rieslings of the Rhein river. - Lavender Ridge Vineyard, 2019 Roussane.
“…powerful with floral aromatics, with hints of peaches, and pears and with a rich and silky smooth mouthful texture, almost creamy. Roussanne on the eyes is a light golden straw color with medium to medium-heavy viscosity. On the nose floral aromatics, hints of pear, and apricots waft into the senses. On the palate, you are treated to a silky smooth mouthful texture. The finish provides a soft nutty almond, compounded with a hint of honey and distinct minerality.”
—Michael Kelly, California Wines and Wineries - Le Casque Winery, 2018 Espion.
This vivid and impressively concentrated blend of Syrah and Petite Sirah wraps pure blackberry and black currant flavors in firm tannins and enough tangy acidity for great balance and a lively mouthfeel.
—Jim Gordon, Contributing Editor at Wine Enthusiast - Grant-Marie Winery, 2017 Port.
- Scott Harvey Wines, 2014 Forte.
Sweet delicate aromas chocolate-covered cherries, candied gumdrops with hints of red fruit. Soft tannins flow into a long sweet gummy bear finish. The perfect companion to nuts and a salty blue cheese….and of course, chocolate!
