Executive Chef James Lehman started his culinary career at the age of sixteen, doing food preparation for local restaurants in his hometown of Vacaville, California. He attended Sacramento State University in Sacramento, California, during which time he had the honor of cooking at Thomas Keller's French Bistro, Bouchon, nestled in the Napa Valley town of Yountville, California. Later he decided to attend the famed Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, where he learned about the modern and classic cuisines of the world. Chef James graduated from the C.I.A. in early 2004, after which he took on a Sous Chef position at the popular Woodstock, New York restaurant New World Home Cooking. While at New World Home Cooking, Chef James had the opportunity to work with Chef Ric Orlando, whose creative and multicultural cuisine focuses on the use of organic fruits, vegetables, meats and many other sustainable products, as well as creating many vegetarian and vegan dishes. Chef James' goal is to carry on the tradition of fine cuisine and wine pairings at Ironstone Vineyards. When possible, he works with the freshest local fruits and vegetables and pulls from his many experiences in New York and the Napa Valley to create dishes that look, as well as taste, great. He also provides new and exciting sandwiches, salads and daily specials for the gourmet deli at the winery.
