Chiarello to open eatery, store in Yountville
By Paul Franson
Celebrity chef Michael Chiarello will be opening a flagship NapaStyle store and a separate restaurant in V Marketplace in Yountville this year.
The restaurant is going into the old Café Kinyon space inside the main building this fall.
Chiarello was the founding chef of Tra Vigne until he left to focus on his NapaStyle products as well as TV, books and his Chiarello Family Vineyards.
The restaurant, which doesn’t yet have a name, will feature Chiarello’s casual cuisine and entertaining style as well as local ingredients.
Almost two years after opening the first NapaStyle retail store in Berkeley, Chiarello will also open the doors to his fifth — and flagship —NapaStyle store this summer in Yountville.
It will be in the back building at V Marketplace that formerly held V Cellars and the Cucina and other restaurants and cafés.
V Cellars is moving into the main building; three other tenants are leaving to create the space.
The store will carry NapaStyle houseware, cookware, and serving ware plus its house-made specialty foods and picnic provisions.
It will have a patio for picnics, a wine shop and tasting room, a salumeria with house-made cured meats, an area for roasting, grinding and blending of spices and herbs plus a large salt bar.
The store will include a demonstration kitchen.
Changes at Cameo Cinema
The new owners of the Cameo Cinema, Shawn LaRue and Cathy Buck, are expanding the offerings. They’ve introduced an expanded calendar of programming for January, moving from what had been four to six films monthly to 14 films in January.
Some are at center stage in the current popular culture, some great old family classics, and perhaps most exciting of all, the entire body of work of one of film’s truly original visionaries — Stanley Kubrick.
They’re also expanding the offerings at the concession café, and will be debuting tasty new goodies each month, many homemade or exclusive to the Cameo.
Info, www.cameocinema.com. The Cameo Cinema is at 1340 Main St., St. Helena. Phone 963-9779.
