Crystal and Jeffrey bring a shared passion for food, wine, and hospitality to their work. Crystal, the daughter of Mexican immigrants, discovered her love for cooking in her mother’s kitchen and followed in her father’s entrepreneurial footsteps. A Le Cordon Bleu graduate with honors, she honed her craft across the peninsula before founding her own business, specializing in private, chef-driven dining experiences that highlight fresh ingredients and heartfelt hospitality.
Jeffrey, originally from St. Louis, found his calling in wine and moved to Monterey County in 2009 to deepen his expertise. His career includes leading roles as Beverage Director at Casanova Restaurant—where his wine list earned a James Beard Award nomination—and as Wine Manager at Pebble Beach Company. Currently pursuing the prestigious Master Sommelier Diploma, Jeffrey pairs his extensive knowledge with Crystal’s culinary artistry, creating unforgettable experiences that blend flavor, story, and connection.
