INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER

BY LEN NAPOLITANO
How do I learn to appreciate fine wine?

Recently, a friend of mine admitted that he knows nothing about wine or what makes one wine better than another. He was clearly frustrated that he could not communicate exactly what it is he likes or dislikes in a wine. When he tastes something that he does find appealing, the only descriptive word he can conjure up is smooth. I explained that learning to appreciate fine wine is a process that can take years. The good news is that it involves tasting a great number of wines. Unfortunately for him, he simply didnt drink wine often enough to build a mental database of wines and their flavor profiles to draw comparisons among wines. The first requirement of a fine wine is to be true to the grape varietal and a key aspect in the appreciation of fine wine is learning to identify the characteristic flavors and components in the popular varietals the individual fruit flavors, level of sweetness, acidity or tannin. Over time, you learn what to expect from a Cabernet Sauvignon versus a Pinot Noir, for example. And, evaluating how they all play out on your palate is part of this step. Once you get comfortable with identifying varietal flavors and components, teach yourself to think about the wines individual personality or style. When tasting, keep in mind contrasting descriptions like these; balanced or unbalanced components, lingering finish or short finish, powerful or bland, lively or dull, complex or one-dimensional, elegant or plain, and dont forget smooth or coarse. Ask yourself if any of these words describe the wines style, or think of some of your own. Then store your experience in your wine memory bank. The next time you taste a Cabernet Sauvignon, for example, think back to your impressions of previous tastings of Cabernets. Is your general impression better, worse, or the same as most other Cabernets that youve tasted. To some, the steps of learning, confirming and comparing may seem difficult, but it really is easier than it appears. If you taste with focus and frequency, you will eventually become more discriminating in your wine opinions and more eloquent than my good friend who finds his favorite wines to always be smooth.

To oak or not to oak? So many decisions.

Driving through wine country right now, as harvest is reaching its peak, gives your nose just as many interesting things as your eyes. One of my favorite post-workday joys is cruising past wineries at night with the top down, smelling the fermentations sweetly giving way to wines ready for barrels. Or not. I also enjoy that the decisions being made about so many thousands and thousands of gallons of wine arent mine to make as when the grapes come in, those winemakers have to make decisions about oak usage and logistics almost from the start, and there are lots of choices awaiting. For whites, the decisions come down to the degree, if any, of oak influence. Many white varieties do not benefit from oak exposure, and even neutral barrels (barrels used long enough that oak tannin is no longer perceptible in wines stored therein) can cause a stylistic miscue since barrels play host to Oenococcus oeni, the bacteria responsible for malic-to-lactic acid conversion. Unless extraordinary and expensive precautions are taken, most winemakers would combine separate lots of filtered oaked and unoaked whites to arrive at a blend with the desired level of oak influence rather than hoping to arrive at an ideal middle through chance in the barrel. Red wines, though, present a bit of a different set of options. Oak is useful throughout the production process, so some folks will be using toasted or untoasted oak shavings at the crusher to alleviate any underripe green aromatics or flavor compounds from methoxypyrazines, which contribute cigar or tobacco at low levels and green pepper or grassy, herb-y notes at higher levels. Winemakers can ferment in barrels either by removing the heads and punching down into upright barrels or through reassembling the barrels and using a rotation system to keep the cap wet by spinning. They can use larger puncheons to give more subtle, rounder notes to the wine without giving as oaky a presence liquid volume to surface area matters a lot. Post-pressing, most reds are aged either in barrel or in tanks with some kind of oak adjunct inserted; as with barrel options so go the aduncts: winemakers have choices that range from oak source (American, French, Hungarian and beyond), to toast level, to toasted or untoasted heads in barrels, and a slew of options for creating oak effects sans barrels including beans, cubes, spirals, blocks, sticks-in-chains to fit into barrel bungholes and staves of various shapes and sizes for tank inserts. Think back to your first visit to a big toystore as a kid; now picture an adult kid and you know how winemakers feel about their oak options. Its great to have choices, but there are lots of decisions to make.Photo courtesy of Del

The man behind Louis M. Martini Luxury Lot Cabernet Sauvignon wines!
BY MONICA L. DASHWOOD
LOUIS M. MARTINI WINERY Open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Reservations are recommended for tours, but not required. 254 St. Helena Highway, St. Helena CA 94574 (707) 963-2736 | www.louismartini.com
Michael Martini, third-generation winemaker keeps the family tradition alive with his range of exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon wines. At Louis M. Martini winery, just off Highway 29 in St. Helena, Michael Martini continues his fathers, and grandfathers pioneering talents, bringing his vast experience and old world, European influence to his wines. Growing up on family vineyards, Michael Martini got a hands-on education in the art of crafting world-class wines, developing his own style of balance and rich texture to the Louis M. Martini Cabernet Sauvignon blends. He formally studied viticulture at the University of California, Davis, immersing himself in a worldrenowned winemaking program. After graduation, in 1977, Michael worked closely alongside his father, Louis P Martini, before taking . the reins as winemaker. In 1981, wanting international experience, Michael traveled throughout France with legendary California winemaker Andre Tchelistcheff to explore artisan winemaking techniques in Bordeaux and Burgundy. Today, much of what Michael learned in France has been applied in Cellar 254, the micro-winery that is steps away from his office in St. Helena. Here, Mike and his team of winemakers make small lots of hand-crafted Cabernet Sauvignon. Michael Martini takes pride in the Lot wines, dating back to 1968 when Louis P Martini, first made luxury Cabernet Sauvignon wines . from selected barrels which he named by lot numbers. Michael continues his fathers tradition, crafting these distinguished wines from Napa Valley mountain and benchland vineyards to produce, for example, an exceptional bottle of Louis M. Martini 2009 Lot No. 1 Cabernet Sauvignon. Full bodied and complex, the Louis M. Martini 2009 Lot No. 1 Cabernet Sauvignon is a favorite of not only Michael Martinis but consumers alike. This exceptional wine captures the essence of Napa Valleys distinctive terroir. The opulent ruby color alludes to the deep, intense dark fruit flavors of blackberry and plum. Rich aromas and flavors of black cherry and cassis are framed by toasted sweet oak notes and hints of chocolate and brown spice. Velvety, plush tannins give this wine a full, luxurious mouth-feel and a long, elegant finish of concentrated fruit and spice. The 2009 Napa Valley Lot No. 1 Cabernet Sauvignon was aged in 100 percent French oak barrels, 94 percent of which was new and 6 percent used, for a total of 21 months. As with the Lot No. 1 wine, what matters most to Michael when making the perfect wine is the location and says so himself. First off, the wine needs to have a sense of place, whether that is terroir

driven, by an individual vineyard, or a broader appellation driven like our Napa Valley or Sonoma County wines. There is a reason that information is on the label. Second, the wine needs to have balance. All of the components need to play in harmony the acids, the tannins, the flavors and aromas. There is no magic in the aging process thus if you want balance in the end, you need it in the beginning. Since 1906, the Martini family has been making delicious wines, but even with those years of experience behind them, its not easy. Winemaking is a great challenge, says Michael Martini. The vineyards are the greatest challenge because they control the quality of the wine. Whether it is the weather or mans viticultural practices, you have to start with good fruit. The second biggest challenge is patience. Wine requires a lot of it. Mother nature takes her time to resolve many of the balance issues in the wine, which requires us to have the patience to allow this to happen. As to what Michael loves about making wine? Its is a living, moving target. No two years are alike as no two wines are really alike, so every individual wine is its own challenge. Like raising children each needs to be catered to their individual personalities to make them the best human being possible. With Michael working under that Born this Way philosophy, letting nature takes its course and honoring the uniqueness of each blend, you know the wines made under his supervision have to taste just right. I want people who drink my wines to have a pleasant experience that they want to come back to, time and time again, offers Michael.

At 112 Years Old, BV Is a Napa Valley Must See
BY JOSH STEIN
BEAULIEU VINEYARD Open daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 1960 Saint Helena Highway Rutherford, CA 94573 (707) 967-5233 | www.bvwines.com BV is also part of the Heritage Wine Trail from Carneros to Calistoga. Visit www.heritagewinetrail.com for more details.
During a wine tasting at Beaulieu Vineyard, you will not only experience todays great wines, you will also gain an understanding of how the wine business has evolved in the past fifty years and in the fifty years before that. In 1900, Georges and Fernande de Latour visited Rutherford, which Fernande declared a beau lieu, or beautiful place. Georges founded Beaulieu Vineyard in the red dust of Rutherford to create wines as great as, or even greater than, Frances best. BV was able to stay in business during Prohibition by producing sacramental wine for San Franciscos Catholic churches. In 1938, Georges brought Andr Tchelistcheff to the BV team. Known as the Maestro, Andr was arguably the winemaker most responsible for the Napa style made so famous in the 1970s and 1980s. Among many innovations, he introduced cold fermentation for white wines, secondary malolactic fermentation via inoculation for reds and the use of small French oak barrels for aging. He also produced Napas first cult wine, the Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. Since that time, BV has continued to innovate. In 2008, a winery-within-a-winery was created to craft the small-lot reserve bottlings. This strategy, like many others pioneered by BV, has been emulated by a number of other wineries. BV produces a wide range of wines. Besides the Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, the Reserve series offers Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot

Noir and the Tapestry red blend. The BV Napa flight includes Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, while the Beaulieu Vineyard Maestro Collection presents limited-production releases of Cabernet Sauvignon, Muscat Canelli, Merlot and Pinot Gris. BV Coastal Estates goes further afield to present Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir and Riesling from exceptional coastal vineyards. In addition to private tastings, the winery offers a number of tasting experiences. In the Maestro Tasting Room, named for Tchelistcheff, small-lot, handcrafted releases available only at the winery are poured. The Reserve Tasting Room, adjacent to the cellar and tanks, houses the Library Collection of wines, dating back to 1970, and pours Reserve bottlings and Georges de Latour Private Reserve. The recently opened Heritage Room, which houses a number of historically significant artifacts, pays tribute to the Prohibition era in the valley, while the Historic Tour and Barrel Tasting provides a view into production practices and the changes brought about by cellaring wines in barrel. In addition to tastings, BV hosts many events throughout the year, including barbecues, release parties, harvest events and cellar sales. At the Annual Older Vintage Tasting, to be held this year on November 3, take advantage of the rare opportunity to taste and purchase wines from the renowned Beaulieu Vineyard Older Vintage Library Collection. Special vintages from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s will be available. Ultimately, a visit to BV provides winelovers with a sense of the past, present and future of Napa Valley wine. If you have visited BV before, visit again in the spirit of George de Latour and Andr Tchelistcheff, the winery continues to be a leader in innovation. If you have never been, you owe it to yourself to go. At Beaulieu Vineyard, the last century of the Napa Valley co-exists and thrives with Napas next century of great wines. Go and enjoy you will be glad you did!
Come and experience the history and pastoral setting with picnic grounds, a bocce court and a horse shoe pit.

BOuCHAiNE ViNEYARdS
Keeping the Focus on Great Wine in Carneros
BY JOSH STEIN
BOUCHAINE VINEYARDS Open daily 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 1075 Buchli Station Road, Napa, CA 94559 (707) 252-9065 | www.bouchaine.com
A visit to Bouchaine Vineyards, the oldest continually operating winery and southernmost vineyards in the Carneros region, brings you full-circle within the valleys winemaking history. First planted by Boon Fly in the mid-nineteenth century, the property, like much of the Carneros District, was forgotten about until the end Prohibition when the property was purchased by Johnny Garetto in 1927. After Repeal, he operated the first winery with a tasting room in the Carneros region. Garetto sold the winery to Beringer Brothers in 1951, who used the winery for thirty harvests. In 1981, Tatiana and Gerret Copeland, a successful business couple from Wilmington, Delaware, fell in love with the property, and thus began the modern-day revitalization which greets visitors today. An almost total renovation took time but was completed in 1995, updating and refurbishing the entire winemaking facility and visitor spaces. Guests are now greeted by the production facilities laid out within the surrounding vineyards such that the rest of the valley is forgotten about. What surrounds you are vineyards, views and breezes and not much else, the way Carneros was at the beginning. You will also see a sign that says that pets are welcome by appointment. Since between two and four winery pups inhabit the spacious property, the Bouchaine folks are sensitive to the fact that not all canines get along with each other. Your own is welcome (on a leash); just call first and they will take care of everything else. Its not just the casual atmosphere and attitude which harken back to Carneros history. The wood that covers the winery buildings comes from old fermentation tanks which were

removed and soaked until they could be straightened. Winemaking history is literally in the walls. Inside, the light-filled tasting room gives a cozy embrace, complete with wood-burning fireplace, necessary much of the year because of the direct proximity to San Pablo Bay. Outside, there is a redwood deck and pergola which face gardens, a well-trimmed lawn with a horseshoe pit and olive trees with vineyards just a few yards beyond, stretching away in all directions. What really matters most, of course, is the wine, and visitors can taste a lot of wonderful bottlings, including a number of tasting room-only releases in their Bacchus and Estate Collection Wines. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir star, here, of course, given the locale, but there are also bottlings of Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Pinot Meunier, an especially rare solo varietal. Equally, dont miss the Ros of Syrah from the Rockin H Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast, the Sonoma
Syrah and a delicious dry Riesling. As every staff member will tell you, all are made to show off cool-climate grapes and winemaking, which produces elegant wines made for food. Winemaker Michael Richmond puts it best: We want our wines to show lingering flavors and depth, a smooth texture and just the right level of acidity to pair with many foods, from the simple to the sublime. There are lots of things to enjoy at Bouchaine Vineyards, but several experiences really set them apart. For those seeking food-andwine fun, there is a special basket of wine country treats to pair with the outdoor seating area and vineyard views. Each basket includes lunch alfresco for two served with a bottle of wine, either the Estate Chardonnay or Carneros Pinot Noir. Multiple baskets can even be ordered for larger groups. Its that attention to the little things that will bring you back to Bouchaine Vineyards again and again as it has for visitors for a century and half. Enjoy!

Futures Barrel Tastings, Twilight at Viader Vineyards

Join founding winemaker Delia Viader and family for an evening barrel tasting of future vintages Friday, November 9, from 4 to 7 p.m. Starting in the winery caves of their Howell Mountain winery estate, guests will have the opportunity to see the winery in action following the grape harvest. A tasting of the VIADER and V blends from barrel will precede a tasting of select bottled Library Reserve and current release wines at Delias residence. Complimentary hors doeuvres will be passed throughout the evening. Flat shoes and a warm layer are strongly encouraged. Please note space is extremely limited. We encourage you to call ahead. Tickets are $60 per person. (Wine club members receive two complimentary tickets. Futures Club members receive one complimentary ticket). Viader Winery only makes red wine, but not just any red wine. It has been the vision of the very determined and talented Delia Viader, to plant a European-style vineyard, with vines oriented up and down the steep Red Blend, features Cabernet Sauvignon with a significant component of Cabernet Franc. Delias aim was to create a wine that enhances a meal, and showcases the charming elegance of Cabernet Franc together with the incredible structure of mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon. Described as Liquid Cashmere by many, the Viader Proprietary Red Blend displays silky tannins that Delia attributes to her mature first-growth vineyard estate, now managed by her son, Alan Viader. The sweeping panoramic views are some of the most magnificent on earth, befitting of the elegant, take-your-breath-away wine that a gracious winery host has just poured for you. A truly spectacular winery, coupled with magnificent winesthe essence of an aweinspiring Napa Valley Experience. Viader Vineyards is located at 1120 Deer Park Road, Deer Park, CA.

Charles Krug Winery To Install Innovative Solar Energy System

the system, part of larger, green plan in place at family-run winery, will reduce CO2 emissions by 2.5 million pounds per year
The Peter Mondavi Family has announced the next step on the road to creating a fully sustainable winery, the installation of a 1.2 megawatt solar energy system. Blue Sky Utility, a developer of comprehensive solar-powered renewable energy systems, is working with Bright Power, Inc. to design and install the system, which is scheduled to come online in December. Once completed, the system will cover more than half of all of the St. Helena estate winerys energy needs. Extremely efficient photovoltaic solar panels will be installed on the Charles Krug Winery rooftops and atop a new tank canopy to be built over the winerys outdoor fermentation tanks. The new canopy will also provide shade, a welcome bonus during the typically hot Napa Valley weather at harvest time, and one that will reduce the energy needed to cool the tanks. The project will also include the installation of a system designed to draw cooler air into the winery buildings overnight, further reducing inside temperatures and energy needs for cooling. A major motivator for the project was the elimination of an estimated 2.5 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions per year from the environment that would have resulted from the conventional generation of electricity from fossil fuels. The carbon offset of the Charles Krug solar system is equivalent to planting more than 6,000 trees. This important project reflects our respect for the land our family has farmed for almost 70 years, across four generations, said Peter Mondavi, Jr. My father, brother Marc and I believe that this is the right thing to do because its better and healthier for our winery, for our people, our community and, in the end, for our customers, too. The solar project is just one step in the greening of Napa Valleys oldest winery, and the continuing efforts to steward the land while protecting and preserving Charles Krugs important historical legacy are earning new respect for a family long identified with California wine. A comprehensive energy study of the historic winery recently was completed, which will inform the Peter Mondavi familys continuing dedication to environmental issues. In 2013, a new lighting project will use motion sensors to turn winery lighting on and off on demand, and a redesign of the refrigeration controls for the winerys fermentation tanks and in the aging cellars will enable on-demand control, including automatic shut down during peak hours to significantly reduce energy usage. All of these projects are consistent with the Peter Mondavi Familys long record of wine industry innovation. Under the leadership of Peter Mondavi Sr., 97, the winery was the first in Napa Valley to use cold fermentation in the production of white wines, and the first in Napa Valley to use French oak barrels for aging wine. That tradition of innovation continues under sons Marc and Peter Jr. The brothers were early adopters in Napa Valley, among the first to convert to sustainable farming practices in all of their estate vineyards. In 2005, they joined the Fish Friendly Farming Program (FFF) to help protect fish and wildlife habitat in the Napa River watershed. They were honored recently for enrolling all winery properties in FFFs Green Environmental Program. To learn more about the renaissance of Charles Krug Winery, the Peter Mondavi family, and the legacy of Cesare and Rosa Mondavi, visit www.charleskrug.com.

RAZi WiNERY
Where Unique Folks Go to Make and Enjoy Great Wines
BY JOSH STEIN
RAZI WINERY Tastings are scheduled by appointment only Monday - Saturday (hours vary) 3108 Silverado Trail, Napa CA 94558 (707) 224-4299 | www.raziwinery.com
When I first moved to Napa, people told me all the characters were gone from the Valley, having died or moved elsewhere or gotten out of the business, that the coming of the corporate age heralded the end of idiosyncratic winegrowing and tasting experiences. Well, Im here to tell you that iconoclasty is alive and well just a short drive north of the city of Napa, so close, in fact, that by the time youre ready to shift into fourth gear, youll be braking to pull into the world of Razi Winery. As you cross their bridge over the Napa Creek, you enter the rarefied, oftenoverlooked environs of micro wine production. Named for its owner, architect Fred Razi, Razi Winery grew out of a hobby, which became a very expensive hobby after he purchased and began to replant the vineyard to Chardonnay and built the barrel cellar and winery itself. The result, though, is an integrated, sleek and modern layout which works well with the landscape rather than against it. Because the winery is small and Fred Razi lives onsite, the design includes his home, pool and landscaped grounds, and guests often taste with either the owner or the winemaker, getting a personal discussion of the wines and their production. It is a unique opportunity to taste very limited production wines (some as low as fifty cases) from a number of different producers in an estate setting rather than a busy collective. Whether its on the patio feet from the ten-acre Chardonnay vineyard which provides fruit not just for Razi but several other well-known Valley producers or sitting on bar stools at their steeltopped tasting counter looking out the window at the vines, the Razi tasting experience puts the emphasis on tasting the products of winegrowing. In addition to the Razi wines, a rotating collection of client releases, including those produced by Razis winemaker, are also poured, making each visit something new. And, given the small case numbers and location-specific wines on offer, theres always a never-seen-again release or two awaiting, which is part of the idea behind the Silverado Trail ethos of the road less travelled. As Fred will more than likely tell you himself when you go, This is a unique environment where one can become absorbed in wine and food pairings while receiving an education based on different appellations and terroirs. So, please, come and enjoy! Do yourself a favor and give them a call to give yourself some time well spent away from the ordinary, enjoying the extra-ordinary, a part of the modern Napa Valley most people never look for or find. Youll be glad you did enjoy!

Harvest Celebration at B Cellars, November 17

Join B Cellars for their annual harvest event where guests and wine-club members will get a chance to preview new release wines, limited releases from the library, and even taste the upcoming 2010 reserve wines directly from the barrel. With exclusive event-only specials, this is the perfect opportunity to stock your cellar and get a jump-start on the holiday season. B Cellars wines will be paired together with mouthwatering hors doeuvres from Smoke Open Fire Cooking. This it the one event of the year not to miss! $35 per person for the general public, $15 per person for wine club members. The wines B Cellars produces include a Cabernet Sauvignon made with fruit sourced from a trio of distinguished vineyards (for their wines they draw on a total of 16 premium vineyards). They also craft three blends: Blend 23 (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier), Blend 24 (Cab, Sangiovese and Petite Syrah) and Blend 25 (Cab and Syrah). The names may not evoke magic and romance; but the wines themselves do. They also make a refreshing Sauvignon Blanc and a vineyard designate Syrah There is also the seated Signature Private Tasting, which includes wines not often seen in the marketplace, paired with artisan cheese and charcuterie. The same is true of the Single Vineyard Private Tasting, where a wine educator will guide you through their single vineyard Cabernets and Syrahs. Or in Wine Tasting 101 you can learn to taste wine like the professionals do, in a casual atmosphere, and how to best pair food and wine. For other tasting options, including the Wine Blending Boot Camp, and a Sensory Wine Tasting with Chef Machamer, visit their website. In the end, whichever option you select, or if you simply stop by as you travel through the Napa Valley, you will find yourself in a world with fine wine, and a sensitivity to the part that good food and good living plays in it all. B Cellars tasting room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located at 400 Silverado Trail, Calistoga, CA 94515. Reservations are required for many of the special programs and can be made by calling the winery directly or online. Call (707) 709 8787 or go to www.bcellars.com.
Caldwells Kreuzer Canyon. All of their wines are made in relatively small lots, from 330 to 1750 cases, and are the result of the efforts of master winemaker Kirk Venge, named one of the top twenty young winemakers in the world. There are a large number of tasting options available. The Special Celebration Tasting is for groups of nine to 25 and includes a private tour of the grounds and cellar and ends in the Salon for a Flagship Tasting accompanied by B-Bites, as they call their mini seasonal pairing of food and wine.

BALDACCI FAMILY VINEYARDS Open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. by appointment 6236 Silverado Trail, Napa CA 94558 (707) 944-9261 | www.baldaccivineyards.com Theyre also on Facebook and twitter.
It might be an understatement to call the two harvests prior to the 2012 crush interesting, or even problematic. But this year has gone a long way to bringing smiles to the grape growers and winemakers. Weather cooperated, rain stayed away and temperatures were as they should be. And, no one is happier than Baldacci Family Vineyards Rolando Herrera. Herrera has been winemaker at Baldacci since the 2003 vintage. With a deep knowledge of Stags Leap wines and vineyards having been involved with the region for almost 20 years he uses that knowledge to produce premium wines at this small family-owned winery on the Silverado Trail. He began his career at Stags Leap Wine Cellars where he spent a decade, the last seven years as cellar master. He gathered additional experience at Chateau Potelle in the Mayacamas Mountains high above the Valley floor and at Vine Cliff Winery. He also had his own winemaking consulting firm before joining Paul Hobbs Wines in 2001. He also produces wines for his personal label, Mi Sueo. When I started talking to Baldacci about coming to work for them, he said, I was very excited because I wanted to get back to the vineyards of the Stags Leap District. These are the wines I know and love the best they have a unique texture and style recognized everywhere as making the very finest Cabernet Sauvignon. In a way, I feel as if Ive came full circle, because I started my career here. The winery is the realization of the dream of Tom and Brenda Baldacci, one that began to come together with the purchase of this 17 acre property in 1997. From the very beginning, the winery has combined a passion for winemaking with the tradition of family. The tasting room fits in perfectly. Its like being in a private wine cellar of a friends home, in this case a restored Napa farm house. The terrace is also charming, as is the pathway to the humidity and naturally temperature controlled caves. As you sit outdoors and sample the wine, look across the vineyards that are at the core of the winerys estate Cabernet Sauvignon program. Here, grapes reach their maximum potential. It is a wine that shows the commitment to both family and quality in the IV Sons Cabernet Sauvignon. For one thing it recognizes the four Baldacci sons. Then there are the four elements: Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and aging in French and American oak barrels. The result is a wine filled with fig and black cherry nuances. Other wines wearing the Baldacci label are Pinot Noir and more Cabernet Sauvignon. The Allwin Syrah is another favorite, as is the limited-production Gewrztraminer and a wine that never fails to delight: the Chardonnay. But then, you really need to visit to decide.

Located at 1829 St. Helena Highway (Hwy 29) in Rutherford, Grgich Hills Estate was founded in 1977 by Vintner Hall of Fame Inductee Miljenko Mike Grgich and Austin Hills after Mikes 1973 Chardonnay outscored the best of France in the now-famous 1976 Paris Tasting that revolutionized the world of wine. Today, this iconic winery farms 366 acres naturally, without artificial fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides, and uses its passion and art to handcraft food-friendly, balanced and elegant wines.

Andretti Winery Signs Chef Athena Palombi to LItalia in Vigneto Culinary Program
Andrettis Napa Valley winery showcases the Mediterranean lifestyle
Known for its majestic setting and elegant, Tuscan-inspired estate, Andretti Winery continues its tradition of producing great wine in the Cal-Ital style and creating memorable experiences. With the addition of Chef Athena Palombi, the winery adds an exceptional talent whose culinary expertise will enhance its dining program year-round. Founded by legendary race car driver Mario Andretti, the winery estate is home to a 42-acre vineyard, winery, barrel-aging chai and an Italianate dining room, in which Chef Athena Palombi, will create dinners and lunches all paired with signature Andretti wines. We are thrilled to have Athena Palombi on-board, commented founder Mario Andretti. Her style and approach, and her natural talent in creating wonderful meals to be paired with great wines are exactly what Andretti stands for. This all reminds me of my boyhood home in Italy and what is so wonderfully appealing about the Mediterranean lifestyle which we share with friends and visitors here at Andretti Winery every day. A veteran of local television and Food Networks Chef Wanted as well as the kitchens of several great chefs, Athena Palombi is known for her unpretentious approach to preparing top-flight seasonal cuisine. I call it elegant peasant or rustic Mediterranean, said Palombi. My family roots, both Greek and Italian, have had a strong influence as I channel them through each of my dishes. At Andretti, Chef Palombi will be creating dinners and lunches throughout the year, all paired with Andretti wines. Andretti Winery is renowned for its portfolio of fine wines featuring traditional regional varietals, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, as well as luxury Italian varietals, Sangiovese, Pinot Grigio and Dolcetto.
Chef Athena Palombi with Mario Andretti
Athenas cuisine is an ideal complement to our portfolio, commented Joe Antonini, Chairman and Cofounder of Andretti. Her appreciation of local ingredients, her passion for quality and her understanding of the pure pleasure of sitting around a table with friends and sharing a great meal is what we are all about. A sample dinner menu might include a first course of Gamberi alla Griglia con Lardo e Insalata di Lenticchie (Lardo wrapped grilled Prawns on top of a warm Lentil Salad), second course of Risotto ai Finferli al Tartuffo Bianco (Chantarelle Risotto with White Truffle), third course of Agnello al Forno e Patate (Roasted Leg of Lamb and with Rosemary and Garlic served with Potatoes) and dessert of Vino Cotto di Fichi con Torta di Formaggio (Wine poached figs served on top of a Ricotta Cheesecake), all paired with Andretti wines. At Andretti, dinner is served at 7 p.m., and lunch at noon. The price for dinner is $125 per person; lunch is $95 per person, both with a maximum of 16 guests. Upcoming dinner dates are Friday, December 7 and Saturday, December 15. Check the website for upcoming lunch dates. Events are private and by appointment only. To make reservations, call Tenaya at 1-888-460-8463 Ext. 229. Reservations should be made at least 48 hours prior to requested dates.

CALISTOGA
Old Faithful Geyser of California A Natural Phenomena

BY MICHELLE J. BAKER
For all of Napa Valleys world-renown as a wine-tasting destination, did you know that the valley also has one of only three Old Faithful geysers in the world? Located at the north end of the valley in Calistoga, Old Faithful makes for a fun and fascinating afternoon stop between wineries. About every 30 minutes, visitors to the geysers are treated to a firstrate show an eruption of steam and extremely hot water spraying 60 to 100 feet in the air. The term Old Faithful refers to geysers that erupt on regular intervals. Water for the Old Faithful Geyser of California comes from an underground river. When this water flows over the hot molten magma deep in the earth, it boils, expands and then collects in large cavities. Under tremendous pressure from the heat, the superheated water is forced through the fractures and erupts with an outpouring of steam followed by hot spewing water. Old Faithful is surrounded by palm trees and thick bamboo, making for a relaxing and partially shaded setting. There are picnic tables with umbrellas and a covered seating area, all with excellent views of the geyser. The gift shop is stocked with snacks such as ice cream bars, chips and a variety of drinks, or if you want to make it a lunch stop, bring in a picnic lunch from town and a bottle of wine from one of the nearby wineries! Dont miss some of the other interesting features at Old Homewood Winery Faithful. Check out the wishing wells that were once used as hot mineral therapy pools. Theres also an informative exhibit area on geyser eruptions and earthquake predictions, as well as a brief history of the town of Calistoga. And best of all, theres a petting zoo with Tennessee Fainting Goats, Jacobs Four Horn Sheep and Guard Llamas.
Old Faithful Geyser of California is located at 1299 Tubbs Lane in Calistoga. The gift shop is a great place to find unique Old Faithful and Napa Valley themed souvenirs, including mugs, shot and wine glasses, postcards, T- shirts and sweatshirts in adult and child sizes, hats and visors, keychains, water bottles, pens and much more. Old Faithful is open daily year round from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the winter and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the summer. Admission is $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, $3 for kids ages six to 12 and children under age six are free.

tAStiNg ROOM OF tHE WEEK | WiNE COuNtRY tHiS WEEK
MARtiN RAY WiNERY

BY MICHELLE J. BAKER
MARTIN RAY WINERY Open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 2191 Laguna Road in Santa Rosa just 7 miles west of Highway 101 (707) 823-2404 | www.martinraywinery.com
The secret is finally out about Martin Ray Winery, the small west Sonoma County winery that is racking up gold medals for its wines almost quicker than the 13 minutes it takes to drive there from Highway 101. Yes indeed, Martin Ray is now proudly displaying the coveted plaque for the Best White Wine in Sonoma County for 2012. Competing against hundreds of other wines (many two and three times the price), Martin Rays 2011 Angeline Russian River Sauvignon Blanc was recently named the Sweepstakes White Wine at the prestigious Sonoma County Harvest Fair. At just $15 retail, this Sauvignon Blanc will wow you for this level of quality at a stock up now price. Its a simply delicious wine, with lovely fruit character and all of the zip and zing you would expect from the varietal. Its perfect as an everyday quaffer for the backyard or porch, or to pair with light appetizers, cheese course or fish or salad entrees. Winery proprietor Courtney Benham purchased the Martin Ray brand in 1990 after discovering 1,500 cases of Martin Ray wines dating back 40 years in an old warehouse in San Jose. Benham has since put his focus squarely on building a brand known for its quality, consistency and continuity. Not only has Martin Ray achieved quality, consistency and continuity, but the quality comes at a price that make these wines ideal for guilt-free, daily enjoyment. The Best of Class-winning Rose of Pinot Noir is likely be sold out by now, but visitors can still stock up on the sweepstakes-winning Angeline Sauvignon Blanc, gold-medal-winning Martin Ray Russian River Chardonnay ($20) and double-gold-winner Russian River Valley Pinot Noir ($30). And for serious collectors, Martin Ray has as impressive a vineyard-designated Cabernet Sauvignon program as you will find in Sonoma County. Sourcing Cabernet from some of the best vineyards in California, the winerys current offerings include Cabs from Santa Cruz Mountains, Sonoma Mountain, and Stags Leap and Diamond Mountain, both in Napa Valley. The winery has recently released a Bordeaux-style blend, Synthesis, a wine that can be enjoyed now or laid down for many years. In 2003, Benham purchased the historic Martini & Prati Winery in west Santa Rosa as the winery home for both wine production and public visits. In the tasting room, youll find a fun and friendly staff excited to introduce you to what youve been missing out on. Some of the wines at Martin Ray are small-production, vineyard designates available only in the tasting room. The regular tasting is complimentary; reserve tasting is $5 (refundable with purchase). The property has a fantastic new wine pavilion which should be available for events in the near future.

Season of the Olive Arrives in the Sonoma Valley

three-Month Celebration of All things Olive Returns to Sonoma for its twelfth Year
The twelfth annual Sonoma Valley Olive Season, a celebration of the olive harvest and an agricultural and epicurean showcase, will take place December 2012 through February 2013. Encompassing a range of exceptional events, culinary thrills and Valley-wide promotions from the Blessing of the Olives ceremony to an elegant Feast of the Olive Dinner the upcoming Season of the Olive promises to transform the winter months in Sonoma into a celebration of the senses. Commencing on Saturday, December 1, the kick off of the olive season begins with the traditional Blessing of the Olives ceremony, set within the historic Mission San Francisco Solano. Following the initial weekend, key events and promotions are planned Valley-wide in honor of the three-month celebration. In addition, local restaurants and lodging properties will offer olive season packages and promotions, including exclusive olive-inspired menu items and spa treatments throughout the winter months. Throughout the Season of the Olive, visitors will have the opportunity to roll up their sleeves for an olive curing workshop, attend festive events such as the annual Martini Madness competition, and enjoy an array of activities from olive oil tastings and art exhibits to live music, family activities and food and wine pairings. A complete list of events and promotions can be found at www.olivefestival.com. Season of the Olive favorites slated to return this season include the highly-anticipated Feast of the Olive Dinner on January 25, 2013 at Ramekins Culinary School. This multi-course, oliveinspired ceremonial dinner prepared by Sonoma Valleys finest chefs, is one of the Seasons anchor events and is a food-lovers paradise. Preceding Feast of the Olive, master bartenders and chefs will gather to compete for the best martini at the wildly popular Martini Madness, where patrons can sample each concoction and place their votes (January 11, 5-7 p.m., location TBD). Then, from February 15-18, the Season of the Olive will culminate with the Olive Season Finale Weekend, a magnificent celebration of events, dinners and tastings, including VinOlivo, an evening epicurean showcase that includes live entertainment and a Sonoma Valley Marketplace; and Olive Odyssey, a two-day affair held at Jacuzzi Family Vineyards, where olive expert Don Landis and olive curers from all over California convene to offer samples, recipes, lessons and delicious olive-themed food and wine pairings. The Season of the Olives Finale Weekend is a guarantee to impress even the impossible-to-please foodie.

A Festival for Beer, Wine and Mushroom Lovers

Dozens of winery tasting rooms are dotted around the county with a myriad of wines to tickle the most discerning wine lovers fancy. Add in world-class brewpubs with their multitude of beers, ales, stouts and special brews to suit every taste. Then, finish the mix with the more than 3,000 types of mushrooms that pop up in the county every year, and youve got a veritable feast for the senses! Every fall, beginning in October when the gentle rains begin, the mushrooms flourish in abundance. Its the perfect place to sample and pick delicious edible mushrooms such as chanterelles, porcinis, morels and hedgehogs, and even the extremely rare candy cap mushroom, a culinary treat with an intense maple syrup flavor, which grows only along the northern coast of California. The highlight of mushroom season is Mendocino Countys annual ten-day Beer, Wine & Mushroom Festival, November 2-11, that features a myriad of events including mushroom dinners, wine- and beer-pairing workshops, mushroom exhibits, guided mushroom foraging walks and much, much more. Theres even a passport event that you can join in visit wineries and breweries to enter a drawing for a VIP Grand Prize Package! Throughout the festival, stop in at one of the 37 wineries and breweries listed on the brochure map, while you discover Mendocino County, Americas Greenest Wine Region. Get your passport stamped at each participating winery or brewery you visit. Collect at least three stamps to enter the drawing for a fabulous Mendocino County Grand Prize. Visit three or more wineries or breweries on both Wine & Beer Trails and your entries are doubled. Entries must be received no later than Friday, November 30. Drawing takes place in December and winners will be notified by e-mail or phone. Climb aboard the Beer, Wine & Mushroom Train, indulge yourself with a gourmet mushroom feast, then cozy up by the fire at the end of your perfect day in one of Mendocino Countys unique inns and rest up so you can start the next day with a cooking class, join a foraging adventure, attend a performance, take an art walk, or simply relax and do nothing at all. Plan your trip at www.visitmendocino.com where you can download a brochure that outlines all of the events and includes a map of the 37 participating wineries and breweries.

With the arrival of November, the pace of life impossibly quickens. How could it get any crazier, we wonder, as the impending holidays drive us inexorably forward as if smacked by an invisible whip. Some vineyards will still be hanging fruit, awaiting the final pick of the season, while others will be thankfully pressing off last fermentations into barrel, ready to put a fork in the 2012 harvest, pop the cork and commence celebrating. Its been quite a season, with great yields, good chemistry and outstanding flavors. We cant wait to begin barrel tasting after the wines get through malolactic. This year brought a particularly bountiful harvest to Loma Prieta, where they picked nearly seven tons of estate Pinot Noir, along with two tons of estate Pinotage. This high elevation site, at 2600 ft, is the only vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains to grow both of these varietals. Loma Prieta also sourced another 23 tons of awesome looking Pinotage from the Amarosa Vineyard in Lodi and the Karma Vineyard in Amador. Stay tuned for the Pinotage Release Party, December 1 and 2. Meanwhile, Burrell School holds its Fall Sippers Club party on November 3rd and 4th, and a Cellar Alumni Sale on November 23rd through 25th, where there are sure to be some fascinating older vintages to revisit.

passport to thanksgiving, November 17

The Summit to Sea wineries welcome you to Passport to Thanksgiving, on Saturday, November 17. All the wineries will be offering specials on Pinot Noir, the ultimate holiday table wine.
thanksgiving dinner demands pinot!

Theres nothing like Pinot to make poultry sing whether its chicken, duck, turkey or all three in one! Have you ever done Turducken? Give it a shot. Its great with a stuffing of wild rice and cranberries, glazed with a combination of Tabithas Onion Jam and B&R Farms apricot red pepper topping, both available at Poetic Cellars. And speaking of stuffing, add some of that Loma Prieta Pinotage to your holiday beverage menu also: its got the stuffing to hold up to whatever is on the menu, including lamb, ham or goose. Plus, its fun to say, and it makes a great wine for toasting all those friends and family for which you give thanks, as you count your bounty of blessings. May you and yours be rewarded with an abundance of good health and happiness this holiday season.

Music and wine lovers can have the both of best worlds by tasting musically inspired wines with live music by the singer/winemaker who goes by the name: The Singing Winemaker (aka Steve Powell). Steves signature wines are his red varietals but he offers every type of wine ranging from Dolcissimo, a musical term meaning very sweetly for a Cabernet Sauvignon blush; a white Scherzando, (musical term for playful) for his, light summer white wine; a tawny Port; a late harvest Zin dessert wine along with peach, raspberry and almond sparkling wines. We focus on red but provide wine for all palates, there is something in the tasting room for everyone, he said. We have great wines and the best wine tasting experience. The Singing Winemaker has not released a new red wine in a year, so this summer he is back in action, releasing six wines. Each will have a release party during the summer with wine and food pairings for guests and of course, music for every age and taste performed by The Singing Winemaker. Many of his wines have musical names including his Harmony blend made with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Old Vine Zinfandel. The Singing Winemakers popular Melody which is a blend of Malbec and Tempranillo is always a crowd pleaser along with another favorite, Amador County Barbera, which is a robust Italian varietal.
