Show Notes
In this episode of "The Good Stuff" presented by the Sonoma County Winegrowers, hosts Virginie Boone and Karissa Kruse talk with Mark Hanson, co-founder and CEO of Bricoleur Vineyards, and his Executive Chef, Thomas Bellec. Mark Hanson decided to become a family farmer and winegrower after a successful career as an entrepreneurial software and private equity executive in the Bay Area. With Bricoleur, Mark knew he wanted to focus on the experience of wine and food together, and so he brought in Chef Thomas Bellec to highlight seasonal foods from the garden, paired with delicious wines. Chef Bellec’s experience spanning nearly 2 decades with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts prepared him for this role at Bricoleur Vineyards. Chef Bellec starts with the wine and through tasting the wine, he develops pairings and menus. And finally, Virginie and Karissa share their Tuesday Night wine picks.
