Team Building Events
Posted in Uncategorized on September 23, 2011 by michi4lifeMichi’s Catering now offers Team Building Sushi Making competition classes, back due to popular demand! Any size group between 40 people to 100. We can start the event with appetizers or cocktails, then we start the class with a 15-20 minute intro on what sushi is, where is came from and what it has become. Then we break the group up into groups of 10 people, each group will develop a team name and have a private chef per team where they will teach how to make rolls, hand rolls, fancy rolls, and garnish. The team will have 45-55 minutes to create a platter that will be judged by your boss and Master Chef Shin on presentation, taste, and pitch of how the platter relates to the company. Afterwards everyone will have a chance to try everyone’s platters and have fun!

Black Ridge Vineyards, SUSHIWINOS
Posted in Uncategorized on March 30, 2011 by michi4lifeBlack Ridge Vineyards, is located in the Santa Cruz Mountains, only a 10 minute drive from Los Gatos.
The Black Ridge Vineyards team is a powerhouse of passion, dedication, and enthusiasm. Our personal philosophies and talents complement one another to create a perfectly diverse team. These compatible differences allow us to produce a wine that’s just as complex as our individual views and backgrounds.
Our team consists of Jim Landes and Fred Faltersack, partners, along with Jennifer Flippen, Director of Operations, Ruben Balderas, winegrower, and Bill Brosseau, head winemaker. Black Ridge wines reflect the mutual effort by all of these crucial contributors.
SushiWinos Concept: to educate local folks about the great local wineries in the area, to change the state of mind of Red wines strictly going with steak. To be able to offer an array of different succulent food items, that actually pair with great wines. Sushi and wine pairing has it been done….no, do we doit and do we do it well? Yes, we execute with perfection! Our team consists of Lorraine Hynes (Michi’s Wine Director), Sheen Michi Shin (Executive Chef for the last 20years), and Mike Shin (Creative and exciting new ideas/Chef). Check out some of our work…
It is said that great wines need perfectly poor soil, just the right amount of sunlight, and above all, a great view. Our goal here at Black Ridge is to produce wines that best express our exceptional vineyard. Plantings consist of multiple clones for most of the varietals, many of which are harvested, sorted, and fermented separately. The diversity of soil type and characteristics of each clone allow us to be selective when creating the ideal blend. We plan on remaining small since we value the fact that our wine is 100% estate grown fruit.
The inherent, discernible attributes of our vineyard are reflected in each of our wines. Our rich, floral whites and our concentrated, decadent reds are great representations of what our vineyard has to offer now and shows promise as to what it holds for the future. With the tremendous efforts and attentiveness of vineyard manager Ruben Balderas and winemaker Bill Brosseau, along with the devotion and support from the rest of the Black Ridge team, we proudly present to you our very first release of Black Ridge Wine. We hope you enjoy our wines as much as we enjoyed the entire process of getting our grapes into your glass.
Salud!
