Of all the kitchens Ron and I have seen in our travels in the United States and Europe, the kitchen pictured above at the home of the owners of Constant Winery in Calistoga is one of our favorites. The owners live overseas, and they allow small events at their home while they are not in residence. We were invited to have lunch there, and taste their amazing wines.
Many experts have said that Howard Backen revolutionized the open concept of the great room. I have included the link to his company site. This is one of his earlier designs, and the first time we saw a similar kitchen style was at the Napa Valley Reserve.
No kitchen would be complete without an outdoor kitchen, and especially a pizza oven, built into the round building. It is set among a small grove of olive trees. Here is the view from the kitchen of this area.
Happy Tuesday to all of you!
