NapaStyle (2004)

NapaStyle showcases both the talents of celebrity chef Michael Chiarello and the comestible cornucopia of his environs, California's lush Napa Valley. Recipes demonstrated on the series highlight Michael's unique cooking style, an elegant fusion of his Italian heritage with contemporary wine country flavors. He offers ideas for casual entertaining and also shares finds for the home kitchen or garden. Frequently, Michael visits with area wineries, restaurants, markets, and artisans for a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making the region's top food and beverage products. Each episode concludes with a humorous "rant" about one of Michael's pet peeves in cooking & dining practices.
