Bravo selected two wineries to host much of the action: Rutherford Hill and Chimney Rock both owned by the Terlato family.

“Our family owned wineries have one goal: to produce wines with a refinement that makes them ideal partners in gastronomy, so it is especially rewarding to have the top rated food show select Rutherford Hill and Chimney Rock as the perfect Napa Valley settings,” said Anthony Terlato, Terlato Wine Group Chairman.

Tony Terlato and Bill Terlato, TWI President and CEO, both make guest appearances. Tony hosts a wine-tasting for the four chef finalists in the historic, mile-long Rutherford Hill barrel aging wine caves. Bill Terlato is the first wine company executive to participate as a guest judge on the program.

“I offered a slightly different perspective from the other judges,” said Bill Terlato. “But considering that all of our wines pair well with food, our participation was a good match.” The wines featured in the finale include Terlato Family Vineyards, Rutherford Hill, Chimney Rock and Sanford. The two-part finale airs on Bravo on Wednesday, December 2 and Wednesday, December 9 at 10 p.m. ET.

The Terlato Family has produced two new Napa Valley wines for Top Chef, Quickfire Napa Valley Chardonnay and Quickfire Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Named for the show’s exciting Quickfire Challenge, where chef’testants compete in fast-paced culinary trials, Quickfire wines are now available at stores across the country.
