{"product_id":"red-hen-napa-1959","title":"Red Hen, Napa 1959","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis fine-looking fowl was on the front cover of the Red Hen bar and grill in Napa, California. Advertising the cocktails and dinner service, it’s a great example of the whimsy and humor of vintage menu art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe customer who kept it as a souvenir (and gave ratings on the dinner service) wrote down the date they dined there – 1959.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe menu contains an interesting snapshot of some of the 15 to 20 wineries operating in Napa and Sonoma at that time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeringer, Charles Krug, Beaulieu, Louis Martini and Souverain all remain iconic Napa wineries today but Christian Bros, run by a Catholic teaching order, sold its historic Greystone Cellars and 1,200 acres of prime Napa Valley vineyards to the Heublein company in 1989.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeublein sold off parts of its wine business in the 1990s. In 1991, the company donated the historic Greystone building to The Culinary Institute of America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’re not sure who owned the Red Hen during this period but in the 1980s, we believe it was owned by Norman Sawicki and his wife Christy. There were two locations: first at 5091 Solano Avenue, north of Napa, and later at 4174 Solano Avenue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Red Hen closed for good in 2019 after the owners of premises decided not to renew the couple’s lease. A popular spot for locals, it was a bitter blow after the Sawickis’ 37-year run. In press interviews, the couple said they were being priced out of the rental market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Red Hen with its welcoming neon sign is long gone and we believe the Hotel Indigo is now at this location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGallery quality Giclée print on natural white, matte, 100% cotton rag, acid and lignin free archival paper using Epson Ultrachrome HD archival inks.
