David Huebel grew up in Healdsburg, went on a walkabout (a year in Europe), then was drawn back. In his case, it was the outdoor lifestyle of farming grapes. The singletrack in nearby Annadel State Park didnt hurt, either. A dedicated mountain biker, Huebel, 33, now manages family-run . Some of the field staff have been around for 35 years; the patriarch, Dick Hafner, 86, still writes the press releases; and sales are all direct to consumers.

On a vacation to California in 2001, they found themselves eating in a Healdsburg restaurant that served hardcore Italian cuisinetripe, sweetbreadsmade from local ingredients. I thought, This is what I want to do, says Bugica, 36. They relocated, and in 2009 he opened in nearby Geyserville.

Diavolas general manager is Healdsburg native Colin Sinclair, 31, whom Bugica lured back from San Diego. My friends are all here now, says Sinclair. We may have moved away, but we came back. The menu features cucina povera (peasant cooking) harvested from nearby fields, which, thanks to the temperate climate, are productive year-round. We have farmers growing Italian varieties of vegetables and herbs, says Bugica. We use local rabbits, sheep, and pigs. At house parties, the fare can get wilder: Someone will shoot a wild boar and well have a pig roast.
