Wine Garage Offers Exclusive Wine Club

Hidden next to a dilapidated ’40s era former filling station on
Highway 29 in Calistoga, lies the Wine Garage. A unique wine shop
in Napa Valley that retails all wine in the store under $25. Sound
crazy? Its true. And the proprietors Todd and Joy Miller, have hit on
a niche in the Valley that had been very missed by the locals here.
“There are a lot of winemakers here that can’t afford to drink the wine
they make, says Miller. “That’s crazy, yes, but who can afford to drink
a $65 bottle with dinner every night?”
Many people miss The Wine Garage on the first try upvalley, but
the search is well worth it. Miller stocks wine from all of California’s
wine-growing regions including fifty Napa selections and 40 from
Sonoma County. When he first sought out buying the initial inven-
tory, “I enlisted a local farmer buddy and his 15-foot box van and off
we went all over California hunting down the deals. I
tried to seek out the small producers who didn’t have
distributers so I could pass the savings on to my
customers.“ And Miller did just that. His store is stocked
with high-quality juice all under $25 and all are unique. percent discount. Any re-orders of club wines are also

Miller gets deals on Napa wine too. “I have winemakers from small
wineries stop in every week saying ‘I have something that will fit into
the store,’ if they only have 15 or 25 cases of an end-of-vintage wine
- I am the perfect outlet for them.”
The Wine Garage offers a wine club, and much like their unique
approach to wine retailing, this club is very special. Unlike most
clubs offered by wineries that send out the same old two bottles every
other month or so, Miller has put together three different clubs that
include six different offerings. The consumer has a choice of: all red,
half white and half red, or “Intense Red.” The first two clubs includes
3 bottles $15 and under, and three bottles $15 and over, for an
average of $100. The Intense Red club includes wines that are typi-
cally $20 to $25 bottles that are super extracted, fruit bombs that will
turn your teeth purple and have a sixty-second finish. There is no
charge to join. All you do is pay whatever the wine costs, less a ten-

Chicken Saltimbocca
Saltimbocca, a tempting and tasty dish that is quick and easy to
prepare is traditionally made by pounding fresh sage leaves and a
slice of prosciutto into an already finely sliced piece of veal. The
slices are then fried quickly in butter before being braised in wine.

calf, with firm, delicately textured flesh, creamy-white with a pale
pinkish tinge. The delicate flavor and fine texture of veal have
appealed to diners for centuries. SALTIMBOCCA
Saltimbocca casually translates to mean “jump in the mouth,” with a Pinot Noir Cranberry Sauce

Solano County’s Biggest Party is About to Get Bigger & Better
The 23rd Annual Solano Wine & Food Jubilee – the primary fund-
raising event for NorthBay Hospice & Bereavement programs –
returns to the Nut Tree Complex in Vacaville on April 23, where it will
be held under an even bigger tent than ever before.
The area’s premiere food and wine tasting event will feature, as it
always has, an irresistible array of sweet and savory samplings from
some of the area’s most notable wineries, breweries, restaurants and
merchants. But, this year’s larger venue means even more vendors will
participate in this gourmand’s gala, providing ticket-holders with a
wider selection of foods, wines, brews and desserts.
The bigger tent comes courtesy of the Total Home & Garden Show,
which will be held at the Nut Tree the week before the Jubilee. Total
Home & Garden Show organizers offered to support the Jubilee by
leaving their tent in place and offering it to Jubilee organizers. “We’re to visit the shops and eateries that are part of the Nut Tree.

Don’t Miss Judd’s Enormous Wine Show!

by Judd Finkelstein, Judd’s Hill Winery
“Hooray for Hollywood!” This optimistic tune jangled enthusias-
tically inside my young head as I hit tinseltown, armed with ambi-
tion and a degree in television production looking to make my mark
in the movies. I worked steadily on several independent and big
studio films, and although the artistic aspect of filmmaking was
thrilling, it became apparent to me that the industry as a whole was
not suiting me, the purple-footed quiet kid from the Napa County
countryside. A whole new appreciation for the world of wine was
instilled in me and I returned to the family biz.
That was a dozen years ago, and while facets of the Los
Angeles lifestyle (ethnic food eatin’, beach bummin’,
jazz clubbin’) still beckon me back southward now
and again, I couldn’t be happier being back home in

for Breakfast on Mother’s Day
at B.R. Cohn Winery, May 9
Moms will be greeted with a smile, a long-stemmed rose and
complimentary wine tasting at the B.R. Cohn Winery tasting room
on Mother’s Day, May 9. The tasting room will be releasing the 2009
Rosé and author and chef, Barbara Passino will be on hand from

The 2009 Rosé ($18) is produced in a traditional French Rhone

complex wine. It has wonderful tropical aromas and a delightful
touch of raspberry, cherry and peach flavors with hints of spice in the
finish. Slightly chilled, this Rosé is the ultimate wine to kick off the
warm weather season and celebrate Mom.
Barbara Passino is the proprietor/chef of Oak Knoll Inn, a luxu-
rious, intimate inn nestled amidst rows of grapevines in Napa Valley,
California’s Wine Country. Her decadent breakfasts have become
California legend and attract visitors from all over the world.

River Road Wine Trail Holds

‘SpringFest’ Open House
Twelve Monterey County Wineries
Celebrate All Things Spring on May 1st
Twelve tasting rooms along Monterey’s River Road Wine Trail will
be hosting the 16th annual “SpringFest Open House” on Saturday,
May 1, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. This is a great opportunity for wine
enthusiasts to visit and enjoy the vintages and hospitality of these
artisan vintners.
The wineries collectively opening their doors for the SpringFest
Open House are Paraiso, Hahn, Pessagno, Marilyn Remark, Puma
Road, Scheid, Ventana, Chalone, Manzoni, Wrath and McIntyre.
While these wineries are a sure bet anytime of the year, the
SpringFest Open House is a particularly auspicious time to visit.
SpringFest attendees to the River Road Wine Trail will not only enjoy
fine crafted wines but will also take pleasure in magnificent wild-
flowers, scenic overlooks, and the people behind the wine. During
the SpringFest Open House you will taste past vintages and witness
the future vintage on the vine. Spring is time folks in the vineyards
celebrate the end of winter and look forward to the start of another
great vintage. This is a fabulous season to stop by one of these tasting
rooms and celebrate this special time of year with them.
At this annual wine tasting, the member wineries will be featuring
rare vintages, barrel samples, music, appetizers that pair with wine,
special discounts, and celebration of all things Spring. The Open
House is complimentary, reservations are not required.
More information is available by visiting the website at
www.RiverRoadWineTrail.com.
The River Road Wine Trail (formerly Steinbeck Wine Country) is
an association of twelve Monterey County winery tasting rooms,
located primarily along the River Road / Foothill Road corridor, on the
Santa Lucia bench above the Salinas Valley. Charming and intimate,
these tasting rooms specialize in limited release vintages and genuine
hospitality. Often, visitors will be sampling with the actual winemaker.
Conveniently situated just east of Monterey and Carmel, and about
seventy minutes south of San Jose, the River Road Wine Trail has
become one of the Central Coast’s premiere wine touring destinations.
The group’s online home is RiverRoadWineTrail.com.
