Well that was fun!
HALL proudly hosted its 16th annual Cabernet Cookoff on Saturday, April 12, at its picturesque St. Helena tasting room. Presented by The Coeur Foundation, this lively and philanthropic food and wine competition brought together top Bay Area chefs, all cooking for a cause.
A total of 15 talented chef teams competed, each crafting a dish they believed paired best with HALL’s bold and expressive Jack’s Masterpiece Cabernet Sauvignon—a critically acclaimed wine celebrated by industry leaders. Guests enjoyed a delicious afternoon of tasting and voted to crown two People’s Choice Award winners, while a panel of four celebrity judges selected two Judges’ Choice winners. HALL kept the excitement going on social media, with @hallwines sharing vibrant, real-time moments and behind-the-scenes action from the event on Instagram.
This year’s event raised $55,000, which will be distributed to charities selected by the four winning chef teams.


14 incredible Bay Area chef teams competed at HALL St Helena on Saturday, April 13 for a charity of their choice. Such impressive dishes were created with what they each felt paired best with HALL’s Jack’s Masterpiece Cabernet at Napa’s biggest food and wine pairing competition. Thanks to our celebrity Judges and the lovely Catherine O’Hara who helped vote for two Judges Awards. Our very enthusiastic guests voted for two Peoples Choice Awards. Everyone involved this year was a winner. Cheers to Charity!
