Ami Ami co-founders Woody Hambrecht and Ross Dawkins share their secrets to throwing a memorable backyard bash.
Based in Healdsburg, Calif., the pair are deep in the heart of wine country. With this, and their obvious roles in the wine community, comes a schedule packed with wine tastings, vineyard visits, and endless hosting—whether it's a backyard barbecue, dinner party, or backyard happy hour. “I love hosting,” Woody said. “I've been hosting for as long as I can remember; it's totally built in my family culture.
Living among countless vineyards undeniably comes with its perks. “If you're a winemaker, you're also probably a pretty good cook—those two things go hand in hand,” Ross said. “So with our friends, we're all competing to host because we all want to behost and are all super precious about our wine, we're super snobs about our food, so we all compete for the title.
All of this considered, when I began my hunt for experts on hosting outdoor gatherings centered around great drinks, great food, and great friends, Woody and Ross felt like an obvious choice. So, we sat down and talked all things Ami Ami, backyard barbecues, hosting tips and tricks, and more.
