Anat Vronsky
After practicing law for many years, Anat Vronsky decided to follow her passion and switch to the culinary world. Anat graduated from two professional programs in top-notch culinary institutes in the Bay Area of San Francisco; the ICC in Campbell and the SFBI in South San Francisco. Founding her catering business in the San Francisco Bay Area was a natural step afterwards. Anat's food is filled with love, passion and enthusiasm. Her belief in fresh, local, organic ingredients, but above all she always brings her customers flavorful and tasty foods, making their events special and unique experiences.
Len Lehmann
Len Lehmann is the owner and winemaker of Portola Vineyards. Since 2005, along with his family, he has been producing hand-crafted vintages that reflect the terroir of the Peninsula foothills, and sharing them with the local community. Many are surprised to hear that the hills above Silicon Valley have a rich viticultural history. These foothills were once California's premier winegrowing region, and the small vineyards here today continue to produce phenomenal wines. He follows a minimalist philosophy in winemaking, including the use of native yeast fermentations, to let the essence of the region shine through.Portola Vineyards is known for its pinot noir and chardonnay.

Len is a former Palo Alto engineer, philanthropist and mainstay of the South Bay Jewish community, and is also a pilot and an active participant in Angel Flight, which provides free trips to the needy for hospital treatment.
