Gold River CA -
The zinfandel grape, first planted in California in the late 1800s by Italian immigrants, are the genetic equivalent to the primativo grape in Puglia, Italy. Primativo wines are deeply colored, and intensely flavored, with a high alcohol content. It's California cousins, Zinfandels, are some of California's finest, most interesting and
[+]most widely planted wines.
It is in the spirit and proud tradition of Zinfandel wine producers that we named our restaurant Zinfandel California Cuisine.
We offer a generous selection of freshly prepared menu items, including: soups and salads, wood-fired pizzas and calzones, sandwiches, burgers, fish, chicken, meats, pastas and desserts. And we have a full bar as well, along with a nice variety of wines. [-]

Chez Panisse
- (Downtown / UC Campus)
-
Berkeley CA -
Chez Panisse opened its doors in 1971, started by Alice Waters and an assortment of idealistic friends. A neighborhood bistro named after a character in Marcel Pagnol's 1930's trilogy of movies (Marius, Fanny, and Cesar), the Restaurant and Cafe are a homage to the sentiment, comedy and informality of these
[+]classic films. Alice and Chez Panisse have become convinced that the best-tasting food is organically grown and harvested in ways that are ecologically sound, by people who are taking care of the land for future generations. The quest for such ingredients has largely determined the restaurant's cuisine. Chez Panisse has tried for years to make diners here partake of the immediacy and excitement of vegetables just out of the garden, fruit right off the branch, and fish straight out of the sea. In doing so, Chez Panisse has stitched together a patchwork of over sixty nearby suppliers, whose concerns, like the restaurant's, are environmental harmony and optimal flavor.Alice and Chez Panisse have become convinced that the best-tasting food is organically grown and harvested in ways that are ecologically sound, by people who are taking care of the land for future generations.
