We were thrilled to have our 4th "Outstanding in the Field" farm to table dinner at Hudson Ranch & Vineyards in Napa this year. The guest chefs were Curtis Di Fede & Tyler Rodde form Oenotri in Napa and the wine and all of the produce was from the Hudson Ranch. Can't say enough about the event! Check it out at outstandinginthefield.com.

Lee Hudson and Hudson Vineyards have a tradition for growing some of the best grapes and making wine in the Napa Valley, today they continue that tradition with the ranch. Hudson Ranch is known for it's high quality estate grown produce, poultry and pork. Hudson Ranch's product reaches people both through a popular local CSA program and distribution to select restaurants around the Bay Area. Our guest chefs Curtis Di Fede and Tyler Rodde grew up in the Napa Valley. At our table set on the ranch our local chefs will take full advantage of all that is available at Hudson Ranch.

Crepuscular rays (pronounced /krɪˈpʌskjələr/, also known as God Rays), in atmospheric optics, are rays of sunlight that appear to radiate from a single point in the sky. These rays, which stream through gaps in clouds or between other objects, are columns of sunlit air separated by darker cloud-shadowed regions. The name comes from their frequent occurrences during crepuscular hours (those around dawn and dusk), when the contrasts between light and dark are the most obvious.
