We chose to try a restaurant which opened just four nights earlier but we had faith that in tiny, yet mighty Yountville we would not be disappointed! Redd Wood is chef Richard Reddington’s new establishment and it was humming along on its maiden Monday night!
I enjoyed a lovely Napa-cano cocktail (209 gin, pom,prosecco and meyer lemon). I made note that the view from our cozy corner looked straight towards a white tiled meat case where redd wood’s cured meats got us to order the selection of meats and cheeses as an appetizer. A very nice start!
The “Mains” for us were a grilled snapper,fennel & artichoke stew (which forever raises the bar for the word, “stew” for me – not to mention a crunchy delicate tapenade on top!, and the lamb t-bones, farro, and kale ordered and savored by my best friend!
No desserts, which now sounds sad, but we were not ready to lose the flavors of dinner just then. I am now thinking about the malt ice cream sundae and chocolate caramel tart that got away!
Oohhh la la… jealous!!! enjoy!!!!!
Sounds yummy! Have a wonderful time!
