An Interview with Wine & Roses Founders Kathryn and Russ Munson
T&T: Through the past 25 years, your restaurant has earned a great reputation in the community. Why do you think that is?
RM: Actually, since the early 1900s the Towne House has always been a gathering place for family, friends, and community. The history and beauty of the property draws locals, as does the long-standing commitment to the community of every owner through the years. In the last 25 years we have paid particular attention to the cuisine with a personal day-to-day involvement as the owners. Additional attention has been paid to the restaurant design, keeping it fresh.

T&T: Can you describe the cuisine and any objectives your chef may have?
KM: Chef John Hitchcock concentrates on a straightforward cuisine, letting the dishes speak for themselves without too much fanfare. He describes himself as an American Classic chef, cooking seasonal food with great technique. Always striving for what can be is part of our mission statement and part of what we talk with Chef John about all the time.

T&T: You serve many Lodi wines. Do you think they complement your cuisine best?
RM: Yes, when your food is grown and raised in the same region where the grapes are grown they naturally pair well. What’s great about Lodi is that it produces so many different varietals that we can always find a wine that pairs perfectly with a dish. That doesn’t mean that we don’t carry wines from other regions, we just promote Lodi.

T&T: If you could give another restaurateur any advice, what might it be?
KM: Be passionate and willing to commit exorbitant amounts of time and energy. To be great requires the stars to align…some magic!
