WINE GEEK FOOD FREAK 271 South Townsend Street, Telluride, CO 81435

"A must when visiting! The atmosphere is wonderful and the drinks are memorable. First drink, usually a small glass of punch of some sort, is free. Personally love the Old Fashions and Manhattans. The Smokey old fashioned is something to get at least once for the show. Only issues would be the prices and/or not enough seating at times."

"Our family has a tradition of scheduling in-home dining experiences when we travel. Patrick is the absolute best! His humor matched with his personal interaction and kindness are bar none. Patrick's culinary skills are exceptional and his attention to detail in the presentation is phenomenal. His sous chef, Alex, and Patrick's lovely wife, Jen, are wonderful additions to a fabulous experience."

"Had a wonderful evening with Chef Patrick. He prepared a 4 course dinner for a family dinner. The food was amazing. His sous chef went out of the way to make special drinks for our 17 year olds. Chef Patrick shared personal stories, jokes. Poems, some sage advice and his incredible cooking skills"

"We cannot speak highly enough of Patrick's warmth, talents and attention to detail. He created an incredible 5-course menu with wine pairings for our intimate Telluride wedding reception — and you could taste the love in every bite. He studied under a master chef in Italy, and it's apparent in his knowledge of various foods and wines from the region. This also appears in his lovely stories that accompany each part of the meal... working with him is truly so much more than delicious food. He'll be in our lives for many years to come!"

"Patrick and his crew did an unbelievable job with our intimate, 25 person wedding this fall. The experience went above and beyond what we needed and he really added an incredible persona touch to our meal. We had five courses of amazing food, from appetizers and antipasto to a decadent dinner with watermelon salad, fresh halibut, amazing beef and ended with a special dessert. Throughout the meal, Patrick entertained with speeches, anecdotes and poems. Aside from the food and the incredibly personal touch, Patrick and his staff were courteous, professional and attentive. This experience truly elevated our special day, and I highly recommend Patrick to anyone looking for a special experience."
