Richard Reddington // Executive Chef - REDD  Napa Valley
Opened in November 2005 in Yountville, in the heart of the Napa Valley, Redd is the first venture from acclaimed Northern California chef Richard Reddington, formerly of Masa's and Jardiniere in San Francisco, and Auberge du Soleil in Napa Valley. Reddington offers an updated interpretation of wine country cuisine with influences from Asia, Europe, and Mexico in a relaxed yet elegant environment. Redd reflects the passions of a serious chef who, after spending 15 years in some of the best kitchens in the United States and Europe, has found the perfect balance of serious food and unpretentious environment. Chef Reddington says, ve created the type of restaurant that I like to spend time at'an inviting place that serves
reddington_richard_c.jpgcreative food and thoughtfully chosen wines in an elegant, contemporary space.  Richard Reddington's passion for food and wine was sparked by his travels throughout Europe as a young adult and fueled by his experiences working in some of the world's best kitchens. As Executive Chef at Redd, Yountville's highly anticipated new restaurant, he offers a contemporary interpretation of Wine Country cuisine, one that references his own classic French training and incorporates a variety of ethnic influences, reflecting his 15-year epicurean journey. Reddington's culinary training had an untraditional beginning. After graduating from college with a degree in business and traveling around Europe, he realized that his dream was not to enter the business world, but to do what he loved most  " cooking   and decided that practical training was the way to go. He began his career working for Roland Passot at San Francisco's renowned La Folie in 1990, later moving to Postrio before heading east to David Burke's Park Avenue Caf  in New York City. A stint at Rubicon in San Francisco was followed by a French sojourn at the Michelin three-star Arpege and Le Moulin de Mougins with Roger Verg , a prelude to working with Daniel Boulud at Restaurant Daniel in New York. Returning to California, he helped open Spago Beverly Hills as Sous Chef, before joining Chapeau in San Francisco.
