HISTORY
In 1926, San Francisco Hotel heiress, Margaret Stewart, commissioned renowned architect Julia Morgan to build this country estate, today known as Redwood Grove. The estate was part of a planned 1,290 acre resort community by the Benbow family.
Ms. Morgan is best known for her work on Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California. After the 1906 earthquake Ms. Morgan was commissioned to rebuild The Fairmont Hotel and properties owned by the family of William Randolph Hearst. Ms. Morgan designed a number of buildings on the Berkeley campus and on the campus of Mills College in Oakland.
In 1919, Hearst commissioned Morgan to design The Hearst Castle and the nearby Hacienda at San Simeon Ranch. Today, Redwood Grove has been conscientiously restored to the historical detail and grandeur characterized by Julia Morgan. Her trademark references to nature including the birds and stag, leaves and rosettes are featured with exposed old growth redwood ceiling and support beams accented with earth colors and materials. Her design hallmarks included painstaking attention to detail and craftsmanship, which incorporate the Estate’s current private collection of art and antiques.
In 2000, Former owners, Allison Huegel and Jim Sergi worked with skilled local artisans to design the interior furnishings while creatively repurposing original fabrics and hardware to achieve an authentic look throughout the property. Nothing was spared to complete this magnificent and faithful restoration.
Duncan McLeod of Rupel, Geiszler & McLeod Architecture was responsible for carrying out Julia Morgan’s original vision for the estate while Dennis DelBiaggio of DelBiaggio Construction served as the builder on the project. The architect, builder and former owners collaborated over a four-year period. The results were a sensitive renovation that maintained the style and integrity of the original

JENNIFER PARENT + JOHNNA CHRISTIANSON
In the beginning of the new century, Jennifer and Johnna met at a dinner party. They talked about food, they talked about recipes they had tried, techniques they had perfected, and kitchen disasters they had suffered.
Both of the ladies were intrigued by one another’s culinary insights. Johnna was a graduate of Napa Valley Cooking School and had worked her way through the kitchens of many of Napa’s most popular haunts. Jennifer was an art student who had decided to focus on food as her new medium, enjoying the balance of aesthetics and taste, and the complexity of plating food. A partnership was born. Johnna’s perfected culinary talents brought lightning speed knife cuts and precise timing to the table, while Jennifer’s history as a coordinator of a festival kitchen brought the ability to serve lunch for a thousand with grace.
Fast forward a decade, J Catering has evolved into a boutique company, catering to clients who share the love of handcrafted cuisine — from the garden’s bounty — as Jennifer and Johnna do.
