A pretty good source told me this weekend that Drew Deckman will have a much bigger presence in the Valle (and possibly San Diego) this year.

Casa de Piedra, one of Hugo d'Acosta's wineries, will be the home of one of Deckman's Valle projects. The winery will add a tasting room that will be open to the public and will also have a Deckman restaurant specializing in shell fish and sparkling wines.

Deckman also has plans to take over Ryan Steyn's now closed El Clavo space next to Madera 5.  The working name of the restaurant is Wood Fish with a menu featuring freshly caught seafood.

The San Diego restaurant is much more tentative, but there is a possibility he will be involved in a new restaurant space in Banker's Hill.
