The Jackson House Inn and Restaurant

WOODSTOCK, VT, September 2004 - An upscale, 15-room country inn and fine dining venue in Woodstock, VT, The Jackson House Inn & Restaurant has garnered a reputation for attracting and grooming rising star chefs from culinary capitals around the US.

Named as one of the "World''s Best Places to Stay" by Cond Nast Traveler in 2004 and touted as preparing "some of the country''s most creative food" by Food & Wine Magazine the Jackson House has become a true epicurean destination - showcasing some of "the best aspects of modern New England and American cuisine" notes respected food writer John Mariani.

The Inn has also been home to outstanding young chefs who have worked in some of the world''s most renowned venues, including Todd English''s Olives, Alain Ducasse''s Le Louis XV in Monte Carlo, Hubert Keller''s Fleur de Lys of San Francisco, Joachim Splichal''s Patina in Hollywood, Charlie Trotter''s Trotter''s and Rick Tumanto''s TRU in Chicago. As of September 2004 the list also includes LON''S at the Hermosa where the Jackson House''s newest chef, Jason Merrill, oversaw the kitchen for half a decade.

Chef Merrill, reared in the Green Mountain State, moved to Arizona and returns home with accolades from his most recent position as Chef de Cuisine at LON''s at the Hermosa, Scottsdale, a Zagat "top 25". His experience includes the kitchens of such luminaries as Alessando Stratta at the Phoenician and Michael''s at the Citadel where celebrity Chef Michael DeMaria masterfully plies New American fare at his eponymous restaurant and catering company.

Working under the tutelage of maestro chef and cookbook author Fernando Divina, Merrill has helped advance the Valley''s most aggressive ecological-based culinary program, drawing inspiration from the mantras of Slow Food International and Chef''s Collaborative, of which he is an active member. Merrill assertively supports the concepts of kitchen gardening, seeking locally foraged and grown foods, both in abundance in Vermont where he is bound to celebrate the State''s regional flavors.

The Jackson House Inn & Restaurant, a Vermont country manor, is an intimate 15 room luxury property situated within the historic village of Woodstock, touted as "one of America''s five most beautiful villages". Nine guestroom and six suites are elegantly appointed with an array of styles including French Provincial, Vermont country and Victorian. Guests enjoy deluxe amenities and fine linens and bath products. All suites have working fireplaces and oversized thermal massage baths.

Woodstock is convenient to Vermont''s premier attractions: skiing, hiking, horseback riding, fishing, antiquing and shopping. For additional information on The Jackson House Inn & Restaurant, please call (800) 448-1890 or access the website at www.jacksonhouse.com
