WHAT'S COOKIN FRIDAY FEB 24, 2012

ALLISON YODER - GENERAL MANAGER - PRESS RESTURANT - ST HELENA

Stephen Rogers, former classical pianist and vocal coach, and his wife, Allison Yoder, former opera singer, bring to their roles as Executive Chef and General Manager, respectively, at PRESS. Stephen was born and raised in Dallas, Texas, and after college toured around the globe. When his performing stints in the various corners of Europe would end, Stephen would return back home to the various restaurants of New York City where he worked in a variety of positions. His true calling, however, was in the kitchen, and here at PRESS Restaurant he has truly hit his stride. PRESS Restaurant celebrates the famous red wines of the Napa Valley with the finest prime dry-aged beef grilled over almond and cherry woodwood-fired rotisserie chicken and locally raised lamb and pork. Daily selections of fresh fish and seafood provide equally high notes for white wine lovers. Our comfortable vineyard setting includes indoor and outdoor seating with large fireplaces and a hand-crafted walnut bar framed by twin wine towers showing our extensive Napa Valley-only wine collection.
