Moving to California has enabled me to choose grapes hands-on from selected vineyards in Napa Valley, Sonoma’s Central Coast, Alexander Valley, Russian River Valley, Amador County and the Lodi District. Not to mention I am a member of the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association, where I source Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. In addition to the classi California Wines, we specialize in Cal-Italia varietals, such as Barbera, Brunello, Aglianico, Montepulciano, Sangiovese, and Malvasia Bianca. Prior to opening Domenico Wines, my passion for the wine business was shared with others on both the East and West Coasts through Bacchus Winemaking Club. This membership club enabled many more people to create their own wines with custom labels. Over 200,000 cases of wine have been created by amateur winemakers on both the East and West Coasts through the years. See the website, www.bacchuswinemakingclub.com for more information on making your own wines. Our recipe for success in the wine business is simple…. take the finest grapes of California, add passion, blend with family tradition and you get wine that exudes complexity, finesse, and agreeability. We invite you to come by the winery to taste for yourself. Our tasting room is open every day from 12-5pm or by appt. Dominick Chirichillo Dominick Chirichillo wines@domenicowines.com 1 Dominick 2 N 0 460 My family has a tradition of winemaking and commitment to their Italian heritage. In 1955 in New York, I was introduced to these traditions by my Nonno (grandfather), Domenico Giovinazzo. In the basement of his home was a wine press that Nonno showed me; passing down from one generation to another the love of handcrafting wine. true false false 1 false Chirichillo 5283 2008-07-02T13:43:13+00:00 true false 9ac7f6df417fc13bd2e0ad1e035094357fff4436 11 4145 http://s3.amazonaws.com/grecipes/public/pictures/users/4145/domenicowines.jpg true 1 75 70 0 43 ebabedfb9f507a6e644a4f18a8bdefd5b116a069 0 Our Tasting Room - Provides a unique and beautiful setting for any event!

While I often find myself planning my next meal while I'm eating the current one, it goes beyond that. I have come to equate good times with enjoying a meal with friends and family. Cooking for my kids, cooking with my friends, selecting a bottle from the cellar to enjoy while cooking, and eating out at San Francisco's restaurants consumes most of my free time. Being so involved in the industry, I am often asked what my favorite food is. It's impossible for me to answer, except by saying "the good kind". There are so many types of cuisine that I love, and so many chefs that I think are very special. Is it wrong that I can love lunch at Yank Sing, appetizers at Bar Bambino, and a late dinner at A16? I think not. Chris Rock said recently that if you love your career, there are not enough hours in the day. For me, there are not enough meals in a day. What a way to live! And yes, I do subscribe to Taco Bell's 4th meal theory! Mihir Shah Mihir Shah mshah@cookeatshare.com 1 629458176 Mihir 0 M 0 8 I am most influenced by my mother who cooked home meals from scratch almost every night I was growing up. She would make her own dough for wonderful Indian breads and would stuff her own eggplant or okra for homemade Indian curries. Of course, I took it all for granted when I was young; now, as a father of 3, I am amazed by her efforts and consistency. This didn't happen for one month or one year, she did this this every week of every year we were growing up. I am also influenced by my maternal grandmother. I remember visiting her in Santa Rosa, eagerly anticipating her curries and gado-gado sauce. There's nothing better than a grandma-induced food coma. More recently, I have been influenced by a number of young chefs in San Francisco. Those of us lucky enough to live in the SF Bay Area are fortunate to have folks like Nate Appleman, Jonnatan Leiva, Jeremy Cheng, Alex Marsh and so many more new-generation chefs. These rising stars take the organic and locally-sourced approach from greats such as Alice Waters and Thomas Keller - and offer restaurant atmospheres and dishes that inspire my generation. Their focus on simplicity and the joy of eating and drinking with friends and family has further elevated my passion for all things food. true false false 1 true Shah Mihirhazel 214 2008-01-16T10:19:25+00:00 true false 2da1e8ae2267d433d46367f157d03e9da3cfc569 32 9443 http://s3.amazonaws.com/grecipes/public/pictures/users/9443/mhs_headshot_restaurant.jpg false 1 2730 4295 18 43 c1064cbea739f2ee9b2afc615ace0afe73e46ccf 2009-05-17T01:03:48+00:00 a90e404e891f89c6b584f1c63eb0d82b790966bf 34 2 mihir-shah-8 0 --- - 452 - 460 - 3144 - 3309 - 810 - 719 - 693 - 707 - 743 - 3129 - 597 - 739 - 694 - 3560 - 660 - 1083 - 689 - 708 - 641 - 168 - 499 - 599 - 688 - 13 - 634 - 141 - 149 - 695 - 157 - 436 - 811 - 4403 - 408 - 441 - 4864 - 431 - 3585 - 4383 - 14522 Life is good! 0 2009-11-11T23:59:58+00:00 94061
