2025 Vintner Chair


In St. Helena, the heart of the Napa Valley, Luc and Jodie Morlet handcraft vins de terroir and unique cuvées from the surrounding Napa Valley and Sonoma Coast. Meticulously farmed vineyards and low-intervention winemaking techniques produce powerful yet refined wines displaying personality, complexity and graceful aging capability. By taking Old World principles and adapting them to California, the Morlet style results in wines which are harmonious in their intensity, richness and refinement. Unwavering commitment to quality leads to small yields, attentive sorting, and the highest standard when blending. Thus, a very limited amount of each wine is produced.

Meet Our 2025 Celebrity Chef: 


Philip Tessier

Chef Tessier, a pioneer in the culinary world, led PRESS Restaurant in St. Helena to earn multiple Michelin stars and is a Bocuse d'Or award winner. His impressive journey includes training at Le Bernardin, leading kitchens at Per Se and The French Laundry, and writing "Chasing Bocuse" about his experiences. Chef Tessier's passion for Napa Valley's ingredients and community shines through in every dish he creates. We are honored to have him join us for this special event.
