Vixen Vittles – Paula LeDuc Fine Catering
On a recent Venue Vixens site inspection to Napa County, we had the greatest lunch while visiting Durham Ranch. We met with sweet Amy Balentine, of Paula LeDuc Fine Catering who had the big round table inside the beautifully appointed Rancher’s Cottage all set for our noon time meal.
The presentation was really fun – Bento Boxes! Sleek, handsome ribbon wrapped boxes filled with deliciousness! Our menu was:
Grilled Chicken and Salsa Verde
Ceci Beans with Roasted Tomato
Grilled Asparagus with lemon aioli and rosemary crumbs
Yummy cookie trio
In addition to a lovely chilled bottle of Napa Valley wine, we enjoyed Paula DeDuc Fine Catering Signature Minted Icea Tea. And what was even better… they have their own line of leather wrapped stainless steel Thermos bottles and we received one as a gift! How cool is that?
Durham Ranch is a private venue, tucked away in the hills of Napa Valley not too far from St. Helena, California. Paula LeDuc Fine Catering manages this property as well has providing the rockin’ fabulous catering needs. Pure perfection! Be sure to read the details in the Vixen View on the home page.
We enjoy the day with Allison Stahl, our Visiting Vixen photographer; thanks for taking great photos for our website!
