My first experience at the 5th annual 2019 Lexus Culinary Classic at gorgeous Cavallo Point Lodge And Spa was a special weekend, April 26-28, with the dinner at George Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch being the highlight in a weekend full of national guest chefs, winemakers, cycling and racecar figures, wine blending.
Highlights in photos and stay tuned for info on next year’s Culinary Classic.






On the final day tasting, there were a number of stand out tastes, including:
Chef Sarah Steffan of Tennessees famed Blackberry Farm crispy grit cakes in truffle aioli & burnt honey
Heitz Cellars ever wonderful Zin and Cabernets, poured by CEO & master somm Carlton McCoy (always one of the truest examples of classic, balanced Napa wines that age stunningly)
Chef Anthony Cole of Chatham Bars Inn in MA lobster Newburg in hen egg emulsion with caviar at Cavallo Point: The Lodge at the Golden Gate; Fort Baker, San Francisco Bay.
