Quality Wines All Under $25


at Wine Garage, Calistoga
Hidden next to a dilapidated ’40s-era former filling station on Highway 29 in
Calistoga lies the Wine Garage. A unique wine shop in Napa Valley that retails all
wine in the store under $25. Sound crazy? Its true. And the proprietors Todd and
Joy Miller, have hit on a niche in the Valley that had been very missed by the locals
there.
“There are a lot of winemakers here that can’t afford to drink the wine they
make” says Miller. “That’s crazy, yes, but who can afford to drink a $65 bottle with
dinner every night?”
2 for 1 on Any Tasting Many people miss the Wine Garage on the first try upvalley, but the search is
including the Single Vineyard tasting well worth it. Miller stocks wine from all of California’s wine growing regions
SAVE UP TO $25
including an large assortment from Napa and Sonoma counties and other Cali-
fornia appellations. When he first sought out buying the initial inventory, “I enlisted
“Best Boutique Winery
& Local Winemaker” a local farmer buddy and his 15-foot box van and off we went all over California
two years in a row hunting down the deals. I tried to seek out the small producers who didn’t have
distributors so I could pass the savings on to my customers.” And Miller did just
that. His store is stocked with high-quality juice all under $25 and all are unique.
Most labels in the shop are unrecognizable – but all pass the same test; everything
2867 St. Helena North, St. Helena
707-265-5000 passes over Miller’s lips before he makes a buy. “If I don’t love it, I don’t buy it,
www.stclement.com period. Sometimes I will taste over a hundred wines in one day, load up the truck
and haul it up to Calistoga, unload at the store, and maybe I will crawl in bed by 3
a.m. Needless to say my buddy bowed out of the deal after their second trip. I
initially recruited him on a ‘hey lets go wine tasting in Santa Barbara’ until he real-
ized how much work it entailed. Poor guy, he had to be at the farm at 5 in the
morning.”
It is all worth it. Millers’ customers love him. He has a unique ability to hear a
verbal description of a customer’s favorite wine and translate that into a recommen-
dation for sometimes a third of the cost. “I have people all over the country that use
me as their local wine shop. I ship right to their door – and the cost of the shipping
is a drop in the bucket compared to what they save on the cost of the wine.
Miller gets deals on Napa wine too. “I have winemakers from small wineries
stop in every week saying ‘I have something that will fit into the store,’ if they only
have 15 or 25 cases of an end-of-vintage wine – I am the perfect outlet for them.”
So head up to the Wine Garage and check out the best deals in the Valley at
1020 Foothill Blvd (Hwy 29), Calistoga, CA 94515. For more information, call
(707) 942-5332. You can also check out the website at winegarage.net.

Exploring the Joys of Russian River Wine Road


by Charles Neave
From “A” (the Alderbrook and Armida
Wineries) to “Z” (Zinfandel, one of the grape
varietals that made the region famous) the
Russian River in Sonoma Country is one of the
treasured segments of this part of California.
Known to some, and close kept by those who
do, it is cache of fine wine and passionate
winemakers. It is something you want to keep
secret, but that you also cannot resist sharing.
In between there is a whole roster of
names, of wineries both large, such as Ferrari-
Carano, Kendall-Jackson Healdsburg (and the
esteemed Kendall-Jackson Wine Center near
Santa Rosa), Rodney Strong Vineyards, and
the historic and fascinating Hop Kiln Winery,
which, among so many, is a personal favorite.

wineries, it has grown into a spirited constel-

New Year, More Cheer from Santa Cruz Mountains


A very happy and healthy new year to you from all the Summit
Sirens in the Santa Cruz Mountains! Remember, wine not only lowers
bad cholesterol and boosts the good, but it puts you in a good mood,
which can lower your stress. And who doesn’t need a little stress
reduction, especially after the holidays. January opens a new door to
a new decade, and the Summit to Sea wineries have an event-packed
year filled with delicious opportunities for your tasting pleasure. Visit
all the wineries on the Trail for Winter Passport on Saturday, January
15, and you’re in for a special mountain taste treat. On Saturday,
sample local jams and chutneys by Tabitha at Burrell School and
Poetic Cellars, enjoy a taste of Pinotage at Loma Prieta, the only winery
in the mountains to offer this intriguing off-the-path wine, and taste
the gregarious Grenache at Hunter Hill.
It’s not too late to contribute to the “Sip to End Hunger,” 2nd
Harvest Food Bank Drive that runs through the end of January:
hunger doesn’t take a holiday. The Summit Sirens are asking for your
help to keep the shelves stocked at your local food bank, so bring
those leftover cans and non-perishables with you on Passport and
you’ll get an extra sip for your good behavior! Cash donations also
accepted.
On Sunday, January 16, the Sirens are feeling crabby, in a good way. TO SAN JOSE
