The past few months we have been immersed in launching a new restaurant brand and website for Glen Ellen Star, opening in the Sonoma Wine Country. This has been a perfect fit for us–as self-described foodies we have been able to unfold the dream of a seasoned chef, Ari, and his wine pedigreed wife, Erinn. Erinn and Meghan have been friends for years growing up together in Sonoma Valley and connecting through our businesses has been a labor of love.
Resembling a quaint farmhouse and invoking the rustic feeling of California wine country, Glen Ellen Star is a taste of both regional and international flavors. The restaurant features wood-fired cooking, all local ingredients from organic farms, homemade ice cream, and if you so desire, a custom-ordered whole lamb for 18 people!
Ari has worked at New York’s Restaurant Daniel, Picholine, and Paul Liebrandt’s Corton, where he served as Chef de Cuisine. He also had a long stint working his magic at The French Laundry in Yountville, CA.
Here are some shots from the photoshoot we did with Glen Ellen Star for their website and marketing with Gordon Lazzarone. And yes, we got to sample some of the “models.”
Get ready to start drooling…
We are thrilled to attend their private opening night on Thursday! Stay tuned for pictures.
If you ever get to Sonoma take the 10 minute drive to Glen Ellen (and don’t blink or you’ll miss it) and dine with Ari and Erinn!
