To create the food at Tra Vigne, Chef Michael Chairello draws on his memories of growing up in a food-loving Italian family in rural Northern California, of his father's home-made wine, his grandfather's home cured prosciutto, of the fresh vegetables and wild mushrooms his mother gathered from the garden and from nearby woods.
                                                  Michael Chiarello -- chef and owner of the acclaimed Tra Vigne restaurant in the Napa Valley -- is the creator of Consorzio, a popular line of flavored oils and vinegars.
