Portrait

Thomas Keller took over a former French steam laundry in 1994 and turned it into the French Laundry, which held three Michelin stars for years and made a Napa village of three thousand people a destination in itself. He now runs several places on the same street, and the valley's wineries are within a few minutes in either direction.
