About Chef Thomas

My culinary expertise includes all aspects of kitchen operations from procurement to production. I have planned and executed large events. I have orchestrated elegant meals for luxury properties and private clients. I have taught over 300 hands-on cooking classes, and I have developed and tested recipes. I have curated wine and food programs for numerous Napa Valley wineries. Developed seasonal menus for pairing with wines. My career began at the New England Culinary Institute where I learned all aspects of the front and back of the house. Staying on the East Coast for the start of my career, I worked in some of New York’s most prestigious restaurants, including Montrachet, River Café and Tribeca Grill. After moving to California, I migrated to the kitchens of Napa Valley’s most respected wineries, Robert Mondavi Winery, Cakebread Cellars and Opus One. I have worked alongside master chefs and culinary greats throughout my culinary career, Julia Child, Jacques Pepin, Thomas Keller, Michel Richard, Jean Georges to name a few.
