The winery is also home to elegant music and art events, all planned to perfection by Annie’s mother, Margrit. And so a mother and daughter come together to deliver a wine country experience like no other. In Annie and Margrit, renowned cookbook author Victoria Wise shares behind-the-scenes stories of Annie and Margrit’s collaboration over time, along with Annie’s fabulous recipes, reflecting treasures and traditions from her mother’s cooking and influences from life in the Napa Valley.

From the start, Margrit and Annie cooked with one another, Annie learning at Margrit’s stove. Years later, Annie became the first executive chef of a winery in the Napa Valley, and developed a repertoire including Squab with Cabernet Sauvignon–Onion Marmalade and Spatzli; Salmon Fillets with Whole Grain Mustard Beurre Blanc; Poussins with Swiss Chard Gratin; and Fresh Plum Galette. Annie and Margrit takes you inside the Mondavi experience, evoking the tastes, sights, and sounds of a day’s visit to the winery.
