Second chances and rebirth are nothing new to Dan Kaiser. As a 9-year-old he was found drowned in his familyâs swimming pool. His mother, Theresa, lifted the unresponsive boy from the water and handed him to his father, Richard, who immediately began CPR. Minutes passed but still no response. Richard kept at it â pressing up and down â as they both hoped for a miracle. Seconds later the little boy coughed and sputtered back to life.
Decades after that harrowing event Dan, his wife Carolina, and his father and mother co-own the Calistoga Italian restaurant Amaro, which recently replaced their previous Wine Country bistro-styled eatery, Veraison.
