Move over lamb and Honey Baked ham, lobster is taking center stage on Napa Valley dining room tables. And, you are all invited. Choose between two wonderful options Menegon Catering DBA as Sorensen Catering, home of the original "Lobster King," John Sorensen and Napa Valley Lobster Company.

Courtney is also a staple in Napa Valley, born and bred in St. Helena, her family owns Steves Hardware & Housewares in St. Helena, along with Menegon’s Ace Hardware in South Lake Tahoe. Each lobster feed to go includes the star, a whole 1.25 pound Maine lobster, (or 'lobsta, as the Mainers say) shrimp, a mix of organic vegetables and our special spices all boiled together to make a truly magnificent meal. I shared such a feast last summer by Menegon Caterering, with friends. It was amazing! And, a ton of food!

"I’m excited to continue what I have been doing these past 15 years working for Sorensen Catering and to take on the DBA as Sorensen catering and carrying on the name while I continue to show you more about Menegon Catering. I would like to thank John Sorensen “the Lobster King” for always being a mentor to me and for his continued support and for introducing me to the lobster and culinary world. I would also like to thank Ines Chiarello for the last 15 years of friendship and support...NOW IT’S TIME TO SHINE! Napa Valley here comes your NUMBER ONE source for all your lobster needs," states Tida Menegon.

Using the tagline, "Sustainably harvested in Maine, Responsibly boiled in Napa,) Napa Valley Lobster Company is the newest Lobster Boil, they call "First Crack" pop-up. Prior to the pandemic, Ines Chierello, formerly of Keller's Market (referenced above) and a friend had been meeting at their new favorite place in Napa called Heritage Eats. When Ines met the husband and wife owners, Ben and Ali Koenig, the group immediately hit it off with their shared love of food, service, and common New Jersey roots. Their friendship grew over more meals and joyful conversations, but one visit in 2020 found Ines at a point where she thought her boils would be no more.

COVID brought all catering to a screeching halt — and Ines was ready to throw in the towel, but Ben, Ali, and their General Manager Charles had other ideas.Inspired by her story and love for lobster boils, Ben and Ali asked to continue Ines’ life’s work, so long as she stayed involved. The combination of Ines’ insight and reputation with Ben and Ali’s versatility and ability successfully navigate the pandemic proved to be a force that would carry Ines’ lobster boil legacy well into the future.
With that, Napa Valley Lobster Co. was born, building off of the events that Ines made so popular while also introducing new ways for people to host southern lobster boils in their own backyard all over Northern California.
Napa Valley Lobster Company offers boils prepared for 2 at $125.
