INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER


BY LEN NAPOLITANO

Which wines are best for cooking?


Any chef who also loves wine will tell you never to use a wine in your recipe that you dont think is good enough to drink. And one thing probably most would agree with is to not use wines labeled as cooking wine. These wines contain salt and do not have the complexity of flavor that you need from this vital ingredient. Using a quality wine doesnt necessarily mean that it has to be expensive. It would make no sense to use a rare vintage of Bordeaux, either. However, you do want something with style, flavor and depth. Depending on the type of wine, it could cost under $10 and still provide quality. Wine used in cooking will gradually lose some of its alcoholic strength as it is cooked. The longer it cooks, the more alcohol will be evaporated. What will remain are the basic flavors of the wine, which marries with other ingredients in the pan.

When choosing a wine for a particular dish, try to match the primary flavor components of the wine with those of the dish. Here are some dry table wines commonly used for cooking and their typical flavor contributions: Chardonnay: green apple, butter, butterscotch, vanilla Sauvignon Blanc: herbal, vegetal, citrus Pinot Noir: mushroom, red cherry, truffle Merlot: blackberry, cocoa Zinfandel: jam, blackberry, black pepper Cabernet: cassis, black currant Another factor to consider when cooking with wine is the timing of the addition of the wine. The earlier the wine is added in the cooking process, the more alcohol will be evaporated. But there are cases when the alcohol is desired in the recipe. A splash of wine added near the end of the process will retain nearly all of its alcohol content. If youre thinking of using fortified wines like genuine Sherry, Port, Madeira and Marsala wines, be aware that they contain elevated alcohol levels to begin with. Most will retain a good amount of their sweetness, although some can be fully dry. Wine will boil at a lower temperature than water, around 175 degrees versus 212 degrees. So, if you substitute wine for water in a recipe, remember adjust the cooking time to compensate for the lower boiling temperature.

BY JOSH STEIN

Whats in a Name? Sustainable, Organic & Biodynamic Defined


Its a question which bedevils even longtime wine and wine trade insiders: what really is the difference between the terms sustainable, organic and biodynamic? And do the distinctions matter at all? Whats really being asked, in my opinion, is how much is marketing magic and how much is winegrowing truth, how much is it everyone drinking from the same grapeaid, and how much is it a reflection of the realities of commercial wine production? Its a mixture of all of the above, of course! Everyone, perhaps, by now understands what organic means in terms of not using chemicals or ecologically disruptive practices, but in the context of wine, it gets a lot trickier, especially for small wineries, which is why there are way more wines labeled Made with Organic Grapes than straight up organic wines. It is considerably easier to get certification showing that the organic-ness of the grapes, derived through the grower, is preserved through the winemaking than to get a winery or wine certified as wholly organic. It is not impossible, but it is costly and leaves little room for error in the cellar. Among a number of technical issues, there is an absolute limit on sulfite usage, which knocks out most commercial wines because of the larger batch process in which they are produced and the necessity to have preservation of the wines in the cellar, once bottled, and while on store shelves and wine racks. Going this one better, biodynamic, as Nigel Tufnel would have said, puts organic on eleven. Based on the writings of Rudolf Steiner, proponents of this agricultural philosophy argue for integrative methods akin to organic practices but also root those strategies within a system of nature-based energy wherein the goal is to recharge the land ecologically and spiritually; and there is a certification agency, Demeter, whose imprenteur producers must receive in order for the labels to legally proclaim the wines biodynamic. While a number of very high-end producers in the United States and internationally winegrow according to these principles, it is expensive and timeconsuming, which is why it remains as a smaller niche in the larger wine world. Are biodynamic wines better? Taste is in the tongue of the imbiber. So, where, then, does sustainable fit into this discussion? Its the least rigorous but the most honest in terms of the kinds of compromises winegrowers often have to make. While there is a set of proscribed Lodi Rules, and there are other sustainable certifications, too, much is self-assessed and self-reported agriculture. More importantly, the sustainable growers I know will say they are essentially farming organically or biodynamically all the time, but they withhold their vineyards from both the costs of certification or, due to accidental exposure, re-certification and from the potential losses of being hard hit by, for example, a pest they are unable to eradicate except through commercially-necessary, non-organic practices. It is far easier to discuss these options when it is not the potential loss of your crop or vines; sustainable winegrowing forthrightly says commerce and stewardship can go hand in hand through integrative processes like composting and natural fermentations rather than the alternatives: unnecessary chemical use or working against the land in the production process. As you can see, the potential for these terms to be meaningful rests with consumer understanding and willingness to ask questions. Since sustainable, in particular, is a much more wide-open term, it behooves the interested wine lover to ask questions about how the grapes are grown and what terms are or are not used on the producers labels. Youll often find that the absences have little to do with actual winegrowing processes at all and more often than not result from decisions necessary to keep the winery in business. If nothing else, your next conversation with a winemaker should be much more engaging since these are the issues shes really thinking about behind that smile. Enjoy!

CHALK HILL ESTATE


Perhaps no other winery captures the casual luxury of Sonoma County better than Chalk Hill Estate. Founded nearly four decades ago, this spectacular property features 1,300 acres of wilderness areas interspersed with 300 acres of vineyards, a winery, a hospitality center, culinary gardens, residences, stables, an equestrian pavilion, sports fields, fishing and swimming ponds, and guest houses. The highest point of the estate offers visitors stunning views of the Russian River Valley to the west and the Mayacamas Mountains to the east. This is one of the most awe-inspiring vistas in wine country. From a winemakers perspective, the Chalk Hill Estate is considered a warm pocket in a cool maritime region. The property features 13 soil types ranging from ancient alluvial deposits to young volcanic soils strewn with rocks and boulders. A distinctive layer of volcanic ash lies under much of the topsoil, inspiring the name Chalk Hill. The complex soils and climate allow Chalk Hill Estate to produce great wines from a wide range of grape varieties. The winerys vineyards are woven through the native foliage, contoured to fit the intricate terrain. The vines are farmed using low-input, sustainable viticultural practices to preserve the long-term viability of the ecosystem. More than two-thirds of the Chalk Hill Estate remains uncultivated. In addition to the great scenery, Chalk Hill offers a number of special tours and tastings including the Estate Culinary Tour. The Culinary Tour begins at the winery where guests gather and then enjoy a brief excursion through the vineyards. You will arrive at the new organic culinary garden for a tour led by estate gardener, Brad Agerter. In addition to learning about

There, you will enjoy a sit-down tasting of Chalk Hill wines paired with four small plates prepared by Chef Didier.

The tour includes a tasting of current releases. The newest addition is our Chairmans reserve tasting, where guests are hosted to a sit down flight of Chairmans wines paired with three local artisan cheeses.

ABoUt: Charlies interest in wine was inherited through his great grandfather, Guippe Guidotti, who grew grapes
and made wine in the Guerneville area of Sonoma County back in the 1930s. After earning his degree from UC Davis and honing his craft at many prominent wineries, he joined Cline Cellars in 2002. He is responsible for crafting Californias most distinctive Rhne-style wines and intense, flavorful Zinfandels that are found at Cline Cellars and Jacuzzi Family Vineyards. His red wines are big and dark with lots of fruit concentration and delicate oak nuances while the white wines are bright and fresh. WCtW: Whats your favorite local restaurant and what draws you there?

NAPA CeLLArs
Keeping Things Rocking on Highway 29
BY JOSH STEIN

FOLIE DEUX ... NAPA CELLARS ... MNAGE TROIS Open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m 7481 St Helena Hwy, Napa CA 94558 (707) 944-2565 | www.napacellars.com Become a fan on Facebook!

Who says you cant have the best of both winemaking worlds, classically styled releases, and wines which walk on the wild side? If youre Napa Cellars Winemaker Joe Shirley, you absolutely get to have both and the results are fantastic wines in an environment designed for their enjoyment rather than pretension. In other words, stop between the towns on Highway 29 for the best times and wines! The story of todays Napa Cellars really begins with Joe, who was born in Long Beach but raised in Napa. He was initially set on a pre-med sports medicine track at Occidental College back down in Los Angeles, but a barbeque at UC Davis professor Maynard Amerines (yes, that Amerine!) house changed all that: Joe returned to Northern Californian and received an MS in Enology from UCD. After graduation, he worked for Sonoma Cutrer before moving on to Trinchero Winery, initally as enologist, but then named winemaker in short order. When the Trincheros wanted to take Napa Cellars to the next level, Joe was the natural choice since he puts emphasis on the vineyards, with decisions about them driving eveything else: I spend a lot of time in the vineyards making harvest decisions. I find that every hour spent at harvest has way more impact than an hour spent in the cellar in the winter. With Joe at the helm, Napa Cellarss philosophy is to put a modern polish on classic Napa Valley wines as the folks at the winery like to say, these are delicious wines that possess all the character youve come to expect from Napa but with an attitude and price youll find rather refreshing. The goal is pure varietal expression from the wines the Valley is most known for without any of the negatives sometimes associated with other producers: classic, artistic and

enjoyable wines without attitude, in other words. These are the wines people come to Napa to find, and they dont disappoint: Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Zinfandel, as well as reserve releases of vineyard-designated wines. Napa Cellars shares its tasting room with Folie Deux and Mnage Trois. In contrast to Napa Cellars, Folie Deux began to highlight the best little nooks of Sonoma Countys vineyards: fog-shrouded Russian River Valley, vital for age-worthy Chardonnays; Alexander Valleys graveled soils, perfect for Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon; and Dry Creek Valleys Mediterranean climate, necessary for field-blended Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Carignane. Rather than seeking to go where others have been, Folie Deux gets to be as playful as possible. Joe is well aware of the dichotomy, noting Napa Cellars has built its reputation on a very traditional style of Napa Valley wines, but we can push the stylistic boundaries of Folie Deux. Last but not least is the Mnage Trois brand, which forthrightly proclaims, as a blend of three, that wine blends give a really great bang for the buck. The goal here is to select and blend different grape varieties to create harmonious and intriguing wines. With each of the playful blends, theres no doubt that the whole is greater (and more fun) than the sum of its parts. In addition to a white, red and ros, there are also special bottlings of Cabernet, Chardonnay, Moscato, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir. Sounds like a lot of wines, right? But its in the tasting room, with its laid back vibe and rock-n-roll soundtrack, that this all comes together into something much more than its parts, and the thinking behind the brands makes a real kind of sense: you get different styles of the same varietals in some instances, allowing you to taste the differences in winemaking protocols, as well as wines which do not overlap because they cover different areas of the variety spectrum. And being poured at one of the coolest looking tasting bars in the Valley doesnt hurt, either. Equally, designed for contemporary sensibilities, the winery invites strolling around the property, exploring the grounds, taking a nap or having a nosh on a blanket or enjoying the sights from under the large oak tree adjacent to the tasting room; picnic grounds are available, too, so bring lunch with you when you come. The winery is next to nationally known Mustards Grill on Highway 29 in Oakville, so you can easily plan a complete days enjoyment of the Valley with little in ultimate need of planning. Most wineries have a tough enough time just putting out reliably solid releases year after year. Here, Trinchero Family is doing most of the Valley one better: three different visions of great wines, neither focusing on anything but what matters enjoyment of the wines in glass! Come taste for yourself.

Perfect Pairs
Smoky Sweet Pork Tenderloin Paired with Baldacci Family Vineyards 2011 Elizabeth Pinot Noir
We love barbecue and I am always looking for new recipes for grilling but we also need a substantial wine that can hold up to the intensity of grilled meats and the 2011 Baldacci Family Vineyards Elizabeth Pinot Noir is the ideal wine. This Smoky Sweet Pork Tenderloin recipe is from Fran Leach, Direct Sales Manager at Baldacci Vineyards and pairs beautifully with this big bold vintage. Pinot Noir tends to be a softer wine with very delicate flavors. The Elizabeth on the other hand, is a fuller bodied, darker colored Pinot that Cabernet lovers will really appreciate. This recipe couldnt be easier to make in terms of barbecue and I loved how the red berry characteristics in the wine brought out the richness of the pork. Pinot Noir is a great wine because over time, summer whites can become dull and its a bit lighter and more refreshing than a Cabernet while still offering the complexity of flavors making it a great food pairing wine. The 2011 Elizabeth Pinot Noir continues the Baldacci Familys tradition of rich, fruit forward wine from their estate vineyard in Carneros. The wine has aromas of strawberry, juicy pomegranate, cherry cola and mouth-watering flavors of red raspberries, plums, wet stone and hints of fresh mushrooms are carried across the palate by fine oak tannins. While the wine is delicious now, with the balance and structure, it will age well for 3-5 years. One sip and you will not be disappointed and since their wines are only sold at their tasting room or online, its the perfect time to discover this family winery. Baldacci Family Vineyards is located in the famed Stags Leap District in Napa Valley and includes 17 acres of Estate Cabernet Sauvignon grapevines. Their Carneros estate vineyard is planted with the Family Collection varietals of Pinot Noir, Merlot, Syrah, Gewrztraminer and Chardonnay. Their tasting room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. by appointment only. Reservations can be made by calling (707) 944-9261 or visiting their website at www.baldaccivineyards.com.

JUdd FiNKeLsteiN
Vintner on the go!
There are interesting stories and fascinating people behind every winery. Of all the characters in wine country, it would be hard to pick one as the most dynamic. But wed venture to say that Judd Finkelstein of Judds Hill Winery and MicroCrush in Napa would be a finalist if such a contest were held. This ukulele-playing, tikiloving, radio-hosting, video-producing vintner sure knows how to keep life interesting in wine country. Born into the winemaking family that founded both Whitehall Lane and Judds Hill wineries, Judd was raised in the Napa Valley and had early exposure to the winemaking process. At his eponymous winery, you may find him tasting barrel samples to assemble a final blend or personally hosting a group for one of his popular Bottle Blending Day Camps. During a BBDC, guests create their own Napa red wine blend to bottle, cork, custom-label and leave with the same day. This seminar was developed as an offshoot of the Judds Hill MicroCrush program, in which customers work with Judds Hill to produce custom wine in lots of one to six barrels. More information on the Blending Camp and MicroCrush programs can be found on the Judds Hill website, www.juddshill.com. Not surprisingly, there is much more to Judd than wine. Throughout his life, hes had the opportunity to pursue interests and develop skills that, at first blush, might not seem to be related to his life as a Napa vintner. For example, in addition to being a wine professional and aficionado, Judd is a big fan of spirits, mixology and classic cocktails. Where most folks would be content to find a favorite bar to visit from time to time, Judd took his passion and founded F .O.A.M., or Friends of Ardent Mixology. This cocktail appreciation guild meets regularly to sample artisanal spirits and hear presentations by top spirit industry guests. Occasionally, field trips are taken to distilleries and other mixology-related facilities (e.g., bars!). When Judd isnt working at his winery or planning F .O.A.M. excursions, you may find him producing one of several wine country media shows. Every Tuesday from 9 to 10 a.m. he hosts Judds Napa Valley Show, a radio show broadcast live on Napas KVON (1440AM). The show is all about drinking, eating and having fun in Napa while meeting the personalities and characters that make the wine country special. Those who live outside of Napa Valley can stream it live at kvon.com or download the show as a podcast via iTunes. And, while youre at iTunes, you can also download Judds other show, Wine Booty. Created in 2011, Wine Booty is billed as Napas first ever pirate-themed, wine-centric talk show! Episodes are produced on a lose schedule (about one every month or so) and feature Judd as host with his trusty sidekick, Captain Whylee

2332 Silverado Trail, Napa, CA 94558 Open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. by advance appointment (707) 255-2332 | www.juddshill.com www.juddsenormouswineshow.com | www.winebooty.com

Raven, an honest to goodness pirate! Judd and the Captain interview wine country luminaries like Heidi Barrett, Hiro Sone and Marketta Fourmeaux on a nautically themed set. Its a show thats much better seen than explained. Trust us and visit www.winebooty.com to check it out. The precursor to Wine Booty was Judds first video series called Judds Enormous Wine Show, a series of scripted episodes that takes a tongue-incheek look at the inner workings of a small Napa winery. All ten episodes can be found in the video section of www.juddshill.com. As passionate as Judd is about wine, spirits and sharing Napa life through his shows, he always makes time to play local gigs with his Hapa Haole Hawaiian band, The Maikai Gents. Judd plays the ukulele and sings lead vocals in the band, comprised of top-notch professional musicians. In recent years, Judd has been able to combine just about all of his passions into one great night of wine, spirits, song and delicious Polynesianinspired cuisine when he hosts winemaker luaus at the famous Trader Vics restaurant in Emeryville. Now thats a party! You just never know what Mr. Finkelstein will get into next. So, to make sure you dont miss any of the fun happenings at the liveliest little winery in Napa, you should visit the events section of juddshill.com often. Weve even heard a rumor that, in his spare time, Judd is creating a new holiday called Narcho dJunio! But weve run out of space here Youre going to have to check this one out on your own.

Vezer-Stock Festival To Rock Suisun Valley


The Vezer-Stock Festival, an all day (and into the night) rock concert will take over the Estate grounds of Vezer Family Vineyards in Suisun Valley on Saturday, July 13 running from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Performers include Purple Haze Live (a Jimi Hendrix tribute band), The Used Blues, Rick Harris & Silverado, Relic 45 and Freebird (a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band). Tickets to the event are $79 per person and available online at www.vezerfamilyvineyard.com/events or at the tasting rooms. Attendees are encouraged to dress like it is 1969. All of us at Vezer Family Vineyards are ready to let our hair down for our Vezer-Stock Festival this July, said Frank Vezer, who with his wife Liz, owns Vezer Family Vineyards and Winery. This will be a laid-back festival style concert with a relaxed feel, or if you like, you can do what old hippies do and sit under an umbrella and have Chef Peter serve you from the grill!

VEZR FAMILY PRIVATE ESTATE

was created by Franks father, Frank Vezer II, using a method that consists of balancing opposing elements to create wines that are dynamic, complex and embody the classical ideals that define the worlds finest wines.

Wineflite is Here to Ship Your Wine Purchases


Wineflite hires Daniel Webber as a great addition to the Wineflite Team. Daniel was familiar with WF having used our service while working for a major winery in Napa. He saw his customers reaction, when wanting to ship wine, and decided to approach us to see if he could become a member of our team. When asked to tell us a little about how he feels being involved with the first online wine shipping company for the international tourist, here is what Daniel has to say: After studying Economics at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, I knew I wanted to be involved in a growing industry. International wine shipping has always been in demand, but until recently it has been difficult for wineries to utilize this type of service. Having experience in wine sales I can understand that intimidated feeling one can have when trying to get wine to customers abroad. The best part of my job is when I see the relief on peoples faces when we explain that we can guarantee delivery of quality wine, taking care of all logistics involved with freight and customs. It is wonderful to be part of a company that has aligned its incentives so perfectly with that of the winery and the wine consumer. Wineflite is thrilled to have Daniel join their international network of Brand Agents located in every wine region of the world. Each agent is focused on helping wine businesses assist their guests in shipping wine back to their home. Wineflite is getting positive feedback from the wine businesses in the Napa/Sonoma regarding Daniel. He has great energy, and a positive winning attitude. We look forward to great things with Daniel on board.

CoNCierge Q & A: What are your personal favorites?

Chris morano
CHIEF CONCIERGE FOUNTAINGROVE INN, SANTA ROSA

Juliette Christensen
CONCIERGE, ANDAZ NAPA

robert spinrad
CHIEF CONCIERGE THE RITZ CARLTON SAN FRANCISCO MEMBER: LES CLEFS D'OR USA

JC: Im not the type to say, You have to go here Cm: The perfect day is different for each guest,
so as a former San Francisco Chief Concierge who moved here for the wine and stayed for the river and the trees I continually seek the mostmemorable mix Sonoma County has to offer. Begin your day with the popular, hearty breakfast buffet at the Fountaingrove Inn, and then head to Goat Rock State Beach. This State Park is located where the fresh water Russian River meets the salty Pacific, and a brisk-morning visit to this microcosm of life is a must-do. Then, head east to Guerneville for a leisurely stroll through the magnificent giants that encompass Armstrong Woods State Park, an ancient grove of Coastal Redwoods; this is a do-not-miss multisensory experience. Both parks can be enjoyed throughout the year, even in winter! Now, on to Korbel for a fabulous tour and tasting; dont forget to visit their Marketplace, where youll create a picnic delight youll enjoy later! Of course, I base my winery suggestions on varietals sought by my guests, but always recommend a drive to the vintners of scenic Dry Creek and Russian River Appellations. Among my personal favorites are Bella Vineyards (great reds, rustic cave tour, winery artifacts from around the world), Amista (pet-friendly, worldclass wines); VML Winery (gold medal-winning Pinot), Lambert Bridge (enjoy your picnic lunch amid their beautiful gardens with a glass of their finest!) and the casual Kokomo Winery (to-die for Zin and MOST gracious hospitality!). Afterward, enjoy late-afternoon one-of-a-kind shopping in the Victorian town of Healdsburg; end your day with a delicious dinner at our restaurant, Equus, or at the Michelin-rated, small plates gem Willis Wine Bar. its my favorite! Everyone is different, and with more than 400 wineries in Napa alone, there are enough wineries to please every palette. Personally, I have some that are varietal-specific, others because of great wine and gorgeous grounds (Newton), spectacular caves (Hall Rutherford), or fabulous food and wine pairings (Rams Gate)or all of the above (Quintessa). For a great introductory tour, I still think Mondavis Signature Tour & Tasting is one of the best in the valley! For those thirsty to learn more about wine, there are wineries that conduct blending seminars, allow barrel tasting and, during harvest, even allow guests to actively participate in punch-down. For wine blending, Conn Creek is fabulous and Joseph Phelps is very educational. For barrel tasting, I frequently recommend Alpha Omega, Fontanella, Flora Springs Winery and Del Dotto. For those who claim to have done Napa, sometimes its often a matter of looking beyond Hwy 29 or the Silverado Trail. I love some of the smaller wineries in Coombsville, but am also a big fan of mountain Cabs, and have sent many guests up-valley to Spring Mountain and Howell Mountain. Youd be surprised how many wineries are still not really on the map but have much to offer to the most discerning critics. In Coombsville, I love Tournesol, Palmaz and Caldwell. On Howell Mountain, I love OShaugnessy, Viader and Cade. On Spring Mountain, I love Barnett, Vineyard 7 & 8 and Spring Mountain Winery. One of the most gratifying aspects of my job is when guests come back to tell me how amazing their day was!

WCtW: If you were to visit just one winery,


which would you choose and why? rs: Many of our guests at the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco are looking for the ultimate experience in the Wine Country. One of the options we like to suggest is a private tour and tasting at the Kenzo Estate. The combination of the spectacular natural setting, the prestigious vintages, famous name winemakers and the superb hospitality make this an ideal and refined destination. We suggest that our guests book a seated tasting on the patio with the specially selected food paring which matches the wines with signature dishes from Thomas Kellers Bouchon Restaurant another famous name in the Wine Country. WCtW: Which winery has your favorite cave/ cellar tour? rs: Most guests love cave tours and they really stimulate the senses! One of my favorites would be the Del Dotto Venetian Estate Winery. The caves are a work of art with textured stone walls, elaborate chandeliers made of Murano glass, and silver candelabras flickering down the barrel lined corridor. For a dramatic setting this one is incomparable. WCtW: Whats the best wine country picnic spot? rs: One of the most charming family run wineries around is Sullivan Vineyards in Rutherford. With advance arrangements you can enjoy a lovely day of exquisite food and wine on the outdoor patio outside of the Sullivan home. If you have already been to the big names in the wine country this experience will have you feeling like you are part of the family at this very special boutique winery.

Remember: Please sip responsibly! Plan to taste at no more than three wineries based on these recommendations.

A REAL Family Winery on the Silverado Trail
BY JOSH STEIN

Open daily from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 3266 Silverado Trail Napa, CA 94558 (707) 258-2558 | www.reynoldsfamilywinery.com

As you drive north out of the city of Napa on the Silverado Trail, within thirty seconds, youve left the urban behind, and all around you is simply the sights and smells of wine country. Just before you get to the Soda Canyon Store, past the curve of the Silverado Pet Hospital, look to the right for a small sign with a brilliant yellow mustard flower and pull in. What awaits is one familys vision of how to create a legacy for their kids, and theyre doing it the right way with lots of great wines and relaxing times. Inspired by his familys childhood trips through European wine country, Steve and Suzie Reynolds gave up a dentists life in 1994, purchasing the hundred-year-old, fourteen-acre ranch on the Silverado Trail and devoted themselves to the year-long, byhand transformation of the property: I acted as general contractor and built everything from the fences to the tasting room. Apart from having to live in a friends garage for six months, we can now say it was a labor of love, says Steve. Indeed, the winery, vineyard and tasting room have been created to give the visitor moments of sheer joy at and discovery of one familys passion. Turning off the Trail, surprises await each vistor. To begin with, the Estate is truly a familys residence, with kids running around and all. The tasting room and winery are Tuscan in style, blending into the hills naturally, and are surrounded by acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and a beautiful pond, home to many birds. Most visitors will find that, when they visit, they will be invited to barrel taste or blend their own wine to suit their palate. The goal is to let people into the daily operations of the winery in a relaxed and enjoyable way, where visitors feel part of the winery team as it goes about its tasks. Wine country life is still a pleasant life, tasks and all. When done appreciating what goes into wine production, more than a dozen wines are available to sample, including the whimsical Naughty wines; the Cabernet Sauvignon estate made from the property itself; the Stags Leap reserve with its unique hand-picked, hand-glued, hand-made mustard flower label; Los Carneros Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and their famous Persistence blend. Steve also works with a few partners in the creation of Thirteen, Fourteen and now Fifteen Appellations, a unique meritage blend consisting of one ton of grapes from each of the Valleys fifteen sub-appellations. The Naughty is a fun wine that consists of four different wines priced at very reasonable prices. The tasting room itself has a wonderful Mediterranean vibe, with a spacious terrace facing a pond and lots of light and views in all directions. The goal, in Steves words, is to give the right kind of experience: Were always trying to do the right thing when people visit, to give our guests what we would like if we were the ones visiting the winery. And that they have, which is why people like to hang out on the patio, enjoying the wines, and looking at local birds, flocking to the estate. It doesnt take fancy to make good, and it doesnt take a lot of flash to produce memorable experiences. If you have a few moments, check out the websites quirky videos which showcase Steves growing collection of vintage workhorse farm vehicles and trucks; his love of tequila, tacos and Cabernet; and how the family went about creating and self-producing the individual mustard labels for the Persistence blend. They help to give insight into Steves statement that the winery has no intention of growing beyond 8,000 cases total production. Rather, their goal is to get more people to remember to Drink American and to come visit their very special place on the Silverado Trail, to appreciate the legacy they are continuing to produce for the next generation of the Reynolds Family. Stop in and enjoy youll be glad you did!

Jessup Cellars
BY CHARLES NEAVE

Such has been the success of Jessup Cellars Yountville Tasting room that it now occupies far more space than when they first opened the doors. Today, in addition to the original tasting room, they have galleries filled with original art, to satisfy multiple senses. From the time you enter the stone-faced structure, past the outdoor fireplace and the native plants that adorn the front, Jessup Cellars tasting room is a wonderful experience. The wines are excellent, the people are friendly (while also being efficient and knowledgeable about their wines, art and hospitality in general). But there are some things you will find when you visit that set Jessup apart from the rest. Jessup is known for its handcrafted, small-production wines and its exceptional tasting experience. If you are a seasoned wine lover or just learning what wine is all about, you will feel comfortable and welcomed at Jessup Cellars. They are always ready to share their passion for the wines and the Napa Valley to create a memorable tasting experience for you, your friends and family. Together youll explore bold Cabernets, smooth Bordeaux-style blends, crisp whites and rich Ports. There is also the wine called Table for Four which is a classic blend of red varietals; they also make a couple of other proprietary blends. In addition to that, they also produce very small lots of both Zinfandel and Cabernet port, all overseen by seasoned executive winemaker Rob Lloyd. To show that they take the whole business of tasting seriously, they use first-rate glassware, which is for more important than you might imagine. Just one more example of their commitment to the wine they make, and to the entire tasting experience. Both, needless to say, are memorable. Jessup Cellars is located at 6740 Washington Street, Yountville 94599. For more information, call (707) 944-8523 or 1-888-537-7879 or visit their website at www.jessupcellars.com. They are open daily from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. and are pet friendly.

It was 1987 when Jim and Beth Summers bought a vineyard in the Knights Valley region of Napa Valley. At the time it was planted mostly with Merlot and some Muscat Canelli. Today, the winery is surrounded by acres of vines, including the Villa Andriana Vineyard, which is planted with Zinfandel, rare Charbono and the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that are essential to the signature wine named after the daughter of the proprietors. Called Andrianas Cuvee, this rich and complex wine has been winning awards from the start. The tasting room is housed in a handsome farm-like building. A porch runs the length of the building, with a patio and fountains in the front along with bocce court and picnic tables in the back for visitors to take advantage of pairing picnics with Summers Estate wine. The winemaking facility and crush pad are also onsite. It is what people imagine having their own winery would be like! The tasting room is open 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. every day. The tasting fee is $15, but is waived with a wine purchase. Its located at 1171 Tubbs Lane in Calistoga, 94515.

Come for Moshin Pictures on the Crush Pad


BY MIKE HYLAND

One of the coolest things to do in wine country in the summertime is to head out to Moshin Vineyards Russian River winery on Westside Road and catch a movie! Going to a winery to watch a movie may sound a little odd at first, but since 2006, the folks at Moshin have been presenting films on the crush pad during the summer months, and this years line-up includes two classic films from the 80s, Back to the Future (the first one) on Saturday July 20 and Caddyshack on Saturday, August 10. Admission is $10 per person and includes a bottomless bag of hot popcorn. Wine is available for purchase by the glass or bottle and guests are encouraged to come dressed as one of the films characters, such as Marty McFly, Doc Brown or even Biff Tannen from Back to the Future or Ty Webb, Judge Smails, Lacey Underall or Bill Murrays character Carl Spackler. Coming as one of the VOTED A WINE & SPIRITS 2012 WINERY OF THE YEAR characters makes these films even more fun to watch. We showed Singing in the Rain a few years back and we had people show up with raincoats, boots and umbrellas, says Moshin Vineyards tasting room manager Julia Lander. It was a hoot. We love it when everybody gets into it. Weve gotten great feedback Award-winning Pinot Noir Picnic Grove with our film selection as well as Food & Wine Pairings for our wines, says Julia Lander. Biodynamic Garden Tours And it is also important to 1791 Olivet Road, remember to bring a jacket or a Santa Rosa CA 95401 707.526.9111 blanket for those cool Russian deloachvineyards.com River nights.

Moshin Vineyards specializes in small-lot, hand-crafted wines, and being based in the Russian River appellation, they focus primarily on Pinot Noir. However, they also produce Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and unique dessert wines. It pays to join their wine club since members enjoy their most exclusive lots, making membership a fun and delicious way to experience the artistry and dedication of the Moshin winemaking team headed up by Rick Moshin. Moshin Vineyards is located at 10295 Westside Road in Healdsburg and is open daily from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Additional information is available at www.moshinvineyards.com or by calling the tasting room at (707) 433-5499.

For 2013, the concert series includes Rodney Strong first-timers Dwight Yoakam and B.B. King and other top names in contemporary jazz. For details, visit www.rodneystrong.com/concerts. melts into his roles, impressively standing toe-to-toe with some of the worlds top thespians: Jodie Foster, Tommy Lee Jones, Forest Whitaker, Nicholas Cage. Yoakams latest album, 3 Pears, balances his country core with a fiercely independent embrace of rock, Americana, pop and soul. It blends Yoakams respect for his musical predecessors with the collaborative assistance of modern singer/songwriter Beck, who co-produced two tracks, and current rocker Kid Rock, who co-wrote the hooky opener, Take Hold Of My Hand. Tickets: VIP $115 / GA $75

saturday, August 3: BWB rick Braun, Kirk Whalum & Norman Brown
Individually, they are three titans of contemporary music: Rick Braun, the gifted trumpeter/flugelhornist with the golden voice; GRAMMY Awardwinning tenor saxophonist Kirk Whalum, the Memphis-born artist who mixes Beale Street, gospel, the blues and bop; and Norman Brown, the GRAMMY-winning guitarist who brings a Louisiana lilt to his Wes Montgomery/George Benson influenced six-string soulful strut. They came together eleven years ago as the supergroup known as BWB and their historic album Groovin, made them one of the most sought-after groups at that time. This terrific triad reassembles with the June 18 release of Human Nature on Heads Up International. This long-awaited sequel spotlights BWBs reimaging of eleven selections made famous by the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Tickets: VIP $90 / GA $60

saturday, August 17: dave Koz and Friends summer Horns tour with mindi Abair, gerald Albright & richard elliot

This summer hes assembled an all-star lineup of saxophonists: Mindi Abair, Gerald Albright and Richard Elliot. Tickets: VIP $90 / GA $60

sunday, september 1: B.B. King


His reign as King of the Blues has been as long as that of any monarch on earth. Yet B.B. King continues to wear his crown well. At age 87, he is still light on his feet, singing and playing the blues with relentless passion. Time has no apparent effect on B.B., other than to make him more popular, more cherished, more relevant than ever. Dont look for him in some kind of semi-retirement; look for him out on the road, playing for people, popping up in a myriad of T.V. commercials, or laying down tracks for his next album. B.B. King is as alive as the music he plays, and a grateful world cant get enough of him. B.B. continues to tour extensively, averaging over

sunday, August 4: dwight Yoakam


Few entertainers have attained the iconic status of Dwight Yoakam. His name immediately conjures up compelling, provocative images: A pale cowboy hat with the brim pulled low; painted-on blue jeans; intricate, catchy melodies paired with poignant, brilliant lyrics that mesmerize with their indelible imprint. Then theres Yoakam the actor, who seemingly

Home of Lost Canyon Winery
BY SUE STRAIGHT, THE WINE WENCH

Open from noon to 10 p.m. Thursday-Sunday, 4 tp 9:30 p.m. Monday and Wednesday 123 Fourth Street in Santa Rosas historic Railroad Square (707) 623-9621 | www.station1870.com | www.lostcanyonwinery.com

Santa Rosas Railroad Square is home to one of the hippest wine bars Ive ever seen. This iconic spot is called Station 1870 and it is home to Lost Canyon Winery (and a few other labels too, all produced by Fritz Winery in Cloverdale). For those who prefer imported wines, there are a handful of delicious Italian wines in the line-up to choose from as well. This place oozes cool vibes. Soft music plays in the background (they offer live music Thursday-Saturday), cozy couches and chairs are strewn around the sitting area, the long bar is outfitted with plenty of comfortable leather barstools, the stained concrete floors echo with the tap, tap, tap of well-shod heels, there are bottles and bottles and bottles of wine everywhere you look and the staff is friendly and informative. Sit down at the bar or on a comfy couch or chair and choose from at least 45 wines, all of which are available by the taste, by the glass or by the bottle (or by the case, should you be so inclined). Pair your wine(s) with a tasty selection of housemade tapas-style treats and let the weight of the world slide from your shoulders. Lost Canyon Winery specializes in single vineyard Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah, all sourced from some of the best vineyards in the Russian River Valley. I tasted the featured flight of five Lost Canyon Wines and loved every single one, but I simply dont have room here to write about all of them. My two favorite wines were: 2011 Chardonnay, Ruxton Vineyard ($35): One sniff and you know youre in for a classic Chardonnay! Aromas of baked apple, crme brule, buttered toast and vanilla custard are balanced by a bright squeeze of citrus. These aromas continue as flavors in the lusciously textured, yet juicy mouth.

WiNe CoUNtrY tHis WeeK | soNomA CoUNtY


2010 Pinot Noir, Saralees Vineyard ($45): In a word gorgeous! Mouthwatering aromas of black cherry, baking spices (clove, cinnamon, allspice) and rose petal delight the nose and continue as flavors through the silky, sexy mouthfeel and long finish. If you are a Pinot Noir fan, you simply must try this wine! They feature a unique wine club here if you buy 12 bottles of wine during your visit, you are treated to a 25% discount on that purchase and all other purchases (including the Fritz and Italian wines) for a full year no automatic shipments or obligations necessary. In my book, thats a great deal! Station 1870 bar and wine shop has already amassed a loyal following of regular customers. Locals and out-of-town visitors alike have found a hip hangout where they can geek out about wine with the friendly, knowledgeable staff or simply sit back, sip some great wines, nibble on some tasty foods and watch whatever game is on the big screen TV (Station 1870s Manager, Zach is a sports nut, so theres usually some sort of game on). This hip venue is also available for private parties by appointment, complete with custom catering. If I lived in Santa Rosa, you would find me there all the time! Station 1870 is located at 123 Fourth Street (cool, huh?) in the heart of Santa Rosas Railroad Square, walking distance from a handful of nice, local hotels and a slew of tasteful shops and restaurants. They are open from noon to 10 p.m. Thursday-Sunday and from 4 to 9:30 p.m. Monday and Wednesday. For more information, call (707) 623-9621 or visit their website at www.lostcanyonwinery.com.

Summer in Sonoma Wine Country offer endless days of blue skies best viewed from one of the green rolling hills, like the carefully chosen spot where Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards resides in the bucolic Carneros region. Inspired by the Ferrer familys 11th-century farmhouse in Sant Sandurni dAnoia, Spain, the winery exudes Spanish charm while retaining the relaxed, casual elegance for which Sonoma County is known.

Where sonoma and spain meet


As a tribute to the Ferrer familys more than 150 years of winegrowing and winemaking history, the annual Catalan Festival celebrates the cultural diversity of Spain. This multi-faceted experience tantalizes the senses with the traditional Spanish folklore, food, wine, lively classical guitar, passionate flamenco dancing all to be enjoyed July 20 & 21, at Gloria Ferrers 21st Annual Catalan Festival. Guests will be transported to Spain for the day as they stroll the likes of Las Ramblas, the popular main street in Barcelona, and enjoy savory tapas, while observing paella and cooking demonstrations, and participating in educational seminars, a festive grape stomp, or while sipping the acclaimed Gloria Ferrer Carneros sparkling and estate varietal wines, as well as Spanish wines from the Ferrer familys global world of wines.

tour & taste


Between the Ferrer familys absorbing history of love and adventure, as well as winemaking expertise, theres more than meets the eye when it comes to Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards. A tour of the winery is an excellent way to hear about the winerys origin, as well as explore the process by which the mthode champenoise sparkling wines are made. Three daily public tours are available at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., or choose one of three new private tours, including a delicious food and wine pairing option. Afterward, meander out onto the Vista Terrace and feel like an instant local. Take in the sweeping views of the valley, munch on the specially seasoned almonds made onsite each day, and sip some award-winning bubbly.

Awarding excellence
For more than 26 years, Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards has cultivated Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for both sparkling and estate varietal wines from the Carneros region. Executive Winemaker Bob Iantosca and Winemaker Steven Urberg are regularly acknowledged for their wines, which offer a delicate combination of aromas, flavors and mouthfeel. Their care and expertise have garnered Gloria Ferrer more than 400 gold medals and 30 outstanding 90+ point ratings in the last five years alone, including most recently the Wine of the Year and Best of Show Sparkling Wine awards for the 2001 Carneros Cuvee at the 2013 Monterey Wine Competition.

Santa Cruz Mountains Passport Day, July 20


The Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association invites you to enjoy the wineries of this extraordinary appellation during Passport Day on Saturday, July 20! Passport Days to the Santa Cruz Mountains was introduced in 1993, by the Winegrowers of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Four times a year the winegrowing community of the Santa Cruz Mountains comes together to celebrate the generations of farmers, vintners and families that are the roots of the Santa Cruz Mountains wine region. Over the last 20 years the event has become a beloved tradition among wine lovers who enjoy wines produced by our legendary, artisan winemakers all within the idyllic Santa Cruz Mountains. The third Saturday of January, April, July and November, passport guests are welcomed into 30+ wineries throughout the Santa Cruz Mountains, each offering a unique pairing of artisan handcrafted wines, gourmet food and entertainment. Take a vineyard tour for a grape-to-glass look at Santa Cruz Mountains wine. Meet the winemakers, grapegrowers and sample exclusive vintages from wineries generally not open to the public. Delight in discovering each winerys unique Passport theme, a tradition of the event. The possibilities are as varied as the wineries themselves and promise a fun, unforgettable weekend. Enjoy! Use the map in the Passport as a rough guide only. Please make sure to read the directions for each individual winery. Some wineries will accept your Passport for free tastings throughout the year, however, some will not. It is up to the discretion of the winery as to whether or not they will waive the tasting fee on non-Passport Days. It is not a mandatory part of the Passport program for a winery to offer free tastings throughout the year. 6-6-12 Passports are $45 online at www.scmwa.com or can be purchased WCTW S2S Ad-July at any participating winery. vert. 3.75w x 6.25 h

Carmel Valleys East End Wine The Perfect Summer Adventure


With its favorable weather, rugged beauty and time-honored winemaking tradition, Carmel Valley is the perfect place for a California wine country getaway. And, amid these rolling hills and grapevines is a quaint, walkable village where six clustered tasting rooms, just steps away from each other, form an association called East End Wine Row. Here visitors can sip award-winning wine, enjoy the sunshine and savor the warmth and splendor of this amiable community. Carmel Valleys East End Wine Row features the tasting rooms of Chesebro Wines, Cima Collina, Dawns Dream Winery, Holman Ranch, Joyce Vineyards and Parsonage Family Winery all located on the east end of the village at 19 E. Carmel Valley Road. East End Wine Row is not overly crowded and provides a warm, personal interaction between visitors and tasting hosts. Many times the winemakers themselves can be seen sharing tastes with visitors, and explaining the winemaking process. Why visit East End Wine Row: 1. Sip and savor at six boutique wine tasting rooms. 2. Enjoy more than 300 days of sunshine each year. 3. Bring your four-legged friend for a daylong adventure because all of the tasting rooms are pet friendly. 4. Carmel Valleys East End Wine Row is conveniently located near award-winning restaurants, championship golf courses, rugged hiking and horseback trails and unrivaled scenery. Monterey County was named a Top 10 Wine Destination for 2013 by Wine Enthusiast magazine. Carmel Valley is one of the seven appellations that make up this regions diverse wine country and is perhaps the most distinct. Nestled into the towering Santa Lucia Range, Carmel Valley geographically defies daytime wind and fog, yielding the warm summer and fall days along with cool nights that are especially favorable to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and other red varieties. Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel also perform exceptionally well in Carmel Valley. East End Wine Row is 11.5 miles east of Highway 1 in Carmel Valley Village.
