12 Days of Christmas at The Restaurant at Meadowood
The folks at The Restaurant at Meadowood have released the schedule and list of guest chefs for The Twelve Days of Christmas 2013 (see after the jump).
For the uninitiated, twelve influential chefs are invited to cook in collaboration with Chef Christopher Kostow at the Michelin 3-starred Napa restaurant. Twelve great vintners are invited along to pair their favorite wines. Last year saw John and Karen Shields, formerly of Town House, Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski of State Bird Provisions, David Toutain of Agapé, and Josh Habiger and Erik Anderson of The Catbird Seat, among others.
Tickets for the series aren’t cheap, but reservations still book up fast. The dinners are $395 per person, plus tax and gratuity. Guests who prefer an expanded menu amidst the kitchen action (that photo could be the view from your table) may reserve seats at the Chef’s Counter for $750 per person, plus tax and gratuity.
