Here is what Chef Michael Chiarello of Bottega has to say about La Estancia:
A special point of pride to me is the film La Estancia, a powerful documentary about five migrant farm-working families, because the filmmaking team is part of my family here at Bottega Restaurant. I am grateful to all the artists who create meaningful and entertaining films, and to the very hard-working team who made this Inaugural Napa Valley Film festival happen! Now sit back in an old Barrel Room, grab some parmesan-truffle popcorn and a glass of Old Vine Zin, and enjoy the show. — Michael
