Press Democrat: Tomato Pairings
by Diane Peterson
“For more inspiration, we turned to the Kendall-Jackson Wine Estates culinary team, who are currently serving up tomatoes at the tasting room and on the menu of their new dining venture, Partake in Healdsburg.

The crew at Kendall-Jackson is getting ready to host the 17th annual Heirloom Tomato Festival on Sept. 28, when they will unveil the renovated tasting room, new kitchen and redesigned gardens at the Kendall-Jackson Wine Estate and Garden in Santa Rosa.

Using that garden as his inspiration, Kendall-Jackson Executive Chef Justin Wangler came up with four perfect tomato pairings, including a mambo with some meat, a foxtrot with fruit, a Viennese waltz with a vegetable and a cha cha with a sugary treat.”

San Francisco Chronicle: Partake by K-J: Wine Tasting with Full Restaurant
by Carey Sweet
“While more wineries around the Bay Area are adding food pairings and “culinary experiences” to their tasting rooms, Partake by K-J has flipped the concept 180 degrees. The space is really a restaurant. It’s complemented by a wine tasting bar, and though “flights and bites” are served, it’s easy to enjoy a full meal in the chic dining room of hardwood floors, rustic wood tables, leather chairs and Wine Country art.

Diners select a wine category, such as that Sauvignon Blanc, with one to three choices in each, and each matched with a small plate. Or they can mix and match any dish with any wine. Or they can choose just a 2-ounce or 5-ounce glass of wine, or just a dish, solo.”

California Home + Design: Five Things to Do in Wine Country in July
By Annette Hanami
Kendall-Jackson’s new “tasting lounge and flight club” Partake is not just another tasting room that offers food and wine pairings, it’s one of the best new eateries in Wine Country.  The 55-seat restaurant is casual yet elegant, with comfortable seating and gorgeous upcycled pepperwood tables.  Grape chandeliers add modern contrast to the estate photographs that line the walls and to a century-old vine.”
