The Big News for Wine Country restaurant star-seekers in the 2016 Michelin Star San Francisco Bay Area announcements: You’re safe.
Though there’s plenty of drama in SF and the Peninsula, Wine Country didn’t see a single addition or loss of stars this year.
Maintaining their MICHELIN THREE STARS in Wine Country: French Laundry and The Restaurant at Meadowood. The big news down south is the Chef David Kinch of Manresa has finally gotten his third star. A major fire shut the restaurant down for a time in 2014 (although he got two stars for the 2015 guide).
It is all about Manresa Family. I love u all. You are most deserving of our 3 Stars in the 2016 SF Michelin Guide!! #MichelinGuide2016
