"BLEND provides an exceptional fine dining experience in a desert casual atmosphere. Great food without the attitude. Considering their youth, Chef/owners Kevin and Kori Kathman have extensive culinary pedigrees. They have developed their skills in venues such as The French Laundry, Pinot Blanc, Christopher’s, Tarbell’s, All Seasons Bistro, and Cuvee Beach in the U.S., as well as La Fleur de Sel, Venlo, Astrance, Arpege, and Gordon Ramsay in Europe. The couple’s classical training combines with contemporary flavors and new world ingredients to produce a New American cuisine which is inspired and unique.The wine list at BLEND is thoughtfully paired to the flavors of the food. Wine Director Bret Fenton spent two years working with Kevin in the Napa Valley and the two simply picked up where they had left off after All Seasons Bistro in Calistoga. Wine is certainly as important as food at BLEND, and the list is a reflection of the passion present in the food." |
