Wineology

INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER

BY LEN NAPOLITANO

Do you have any suggestions for giving wine as gifts?


With wine, generally you will get a higher
quality as you pay more, but the jump in
price has to be significant, say, more than
20%. Prices differences within 20% of each
other will probably not make noticeable
differences in quality. If you know little or
nothing about the gift recipients specific
wine preferences, try choosing a wine based
on his or her personality or lifestyle. Here are
some ideas:
Champagne and Sparkling Wines: Safe as
a gift at any time. They symbolize celebration,
happiness, good times and also serve as a predinner beverage. The original sparkling wine,
French Champagne, tends to be the most
expensive sparkling wine (major brands start
at around $25) while American sparkling
wines made in the French traditional method
are more affordableand many are just as
good. If you prefer to give an imported
sparkling wine, they usually come at lower
prices than French Champagne; look for
Italian Prosecco or Spanish Cava.
Pinot Noir: An extremely nuanced wine,
but also a versatile wine that is appreciated by
devotees of both red and white wines. Pinot
Noir tends to cost a little more, on average,

than other varietal wines, so expect to spend


more than $25 if you want something of
quality and true varietal character. Choose a
wine from a small AVA in either California or
Oregon, or from New Zealand.
Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot: Two
classic, medium- to full-bodied, singlevarietal wines appropriate for someone who
tends to be more traditional in their food
selectionsperfect for the meat-eater.
Choose a sub-appellation of either Napa or
Sonoma Valley in California, from the
Columbia Valley in Washington, or the
Coonwarra region of Australia. American
Meritage blends are also good options. Expect
to pay $20 and up for Meritage or singlevarietal wines.
Bordeaux or Burgundy, white or red: A
good choice for for the scholar of world
history, or lover of European culture. Also, for
someone who frequents fine restaurants in
big cities, entertains guests or clients, or
dabbles in gourmet cooking. (These are not
wines to use in cooking!). Pricing, on average,
will be higher than domestic wines from
comparable varietals, but that wont go
unnoticed by the recipient. Prepare yourself

to pay at least $30 for a bottle.


Chianti Classico Riserva: Nothing says
amore better than an Italian red wine from
the heart of Tuscany. Furthermore, if you
upgrade your selection to the category of
Chianti Classico (a small, sub-appellation of
Chianti) the gift says you pay attention to
detail. For the very special person, however,
look for the Reserva term on the labelit
indicates the wine was aged in barrel longer
than non-Reserva wine, adding to its
harmonious taste and romantic symbolism.
Always a great gift for anyone who loves Italy
and Italian food.
Another gift-giving approach is to choose
a wine that has some personal meaning to
you. Because today, remarkably, every
American lives in a wine-producing state, you
can give a wine from your state if your
recipient is from out of state. And, because
most of these wineries are small, they
typically wont have nationwide distribution,
which reduces the chance the recipient will
already have the same wine. Or, give a wine
from producers youve personally visited. The
wine has more meaning if a story about your
personal experience is behind it.

Winegrowing Decisions

BY JOSH STEIN

Two Ways to Produce Bubbles, Two Very Different Results!


Ever been handed a random
glass of sparkling wine at an
event or someones house, from
which you eagerly sipped,
expecting creaminess and length,
but which instead gave nothing
but disappoitment in the insipid,
sweet, bubbled white or pink
grape juice actually in the glass?
No, it wasnt you, and no, all
bubbles are not created equal or
equally. Blame soda for ever
making you think otherwise
since thats essentially how that
wine was made. There may be
a lot of wine with bubbles out
there, but not all are sparkling
wines in the way we usually
assume.
Inexpensive sparkling wine

If your car isnt


getting dirty, youre

real Napa Valley.

tastes cheap not necessarily


because of inexpensive grapes
(though they dont help) but
because of an inexpensive
production process, called the
Charmat or bulk process,
which accelerates the
fermentation and thus the
carbonation, creating an
artificially-tasting mouthfeel on
the tongue. Through the use of
glass-lined pressure tanks,
carbon dioxide can also be
injected into the wine, giving it
carbonation ala soda water. The
result of either process looks like
sparkling wine, but it sure
doesnt give the same pleasures
since with wine the time taken in
production is reflected in the
mouthfeel of the finished wine
itself. It is literally a case of
tongue beware!
Indeed, without considerable
time on the lees, the spent yeast
and other fermentation byproducts, the creaminess we
associate with a sparkling wine
wont be present, which is why
the bubbles dont have the same
mouthfeel. This latter, methode
traditionelle, process produces
the bubbles as part of a long,
slow fermentation on the yeast in
individual bottles and is what
creates the luxuriously creamy
yet fruity essence of proper
sparkling wine or its various
pseudonyms around the world
(cava, prosecco, Asti,
Champagne, etc.). Its no joke
that patience is rewarded in
sparkling wines. The timeframe
is completely different for each
methodology, and that has the
impact on the finished product.
Equally, because the pressure

tanks are proportionally so much


larger than a sparkling wine
bottle, the liquid-to-solids ratio
is far different. What produces
the creaminess of the mouthfeel
in aged sparkling wines is
precisely the length of time in
contact with the fine lees thats
what forms the modern day
frozen bolt that each bottle
releases during disgorgement
before final bottling. Producers
will sometimes move sparkling
wines into other glass sizes
before bottling in the finished
glass for this reason: the right
ratio really matters to the aging.
In fact, all of the packaging for
these wines has to be specially
designed because sparkling wine
is under pressure as this natural
carbonation slowly builds, hence
the familiar wire cage to make
sure the cork cannot shoot out of
the bottle.

Thus, unlike a lot of other


things in the world today, you
really do get what you pay for
with fine sparkling wines and
their natural bubbles produced
the low and slow way first
recognized by winemasters
Francesco Scacchi and Dom
Prignon all those centuries ago
in Europe. Any sparkling wine
made the traditional way will
indicate as such on the label
because the imposters legally
cannot, and given the time,
expense and headaches involved,
those who can want credit where
its due! At your next event, ask
to see the bottle before you
imbibe that random glass
handed to you and if anyone
gives you a funny look, now
youve got a conversation starter
for those awkward event
beginnings when no one knows
what to talk about. Enjoy!

Napa Cellars
Full of Surprises
The only geodesic dome in Napa Valley might be a firm hint that a
visit to Napa Cellars tasting room is a treat, but it only hints at the
surprises in store.
Start with a notable winemaker, Joe Shirley, who once bowled a
252 and is confident enough to do the New York Times crossword
puzzle in indelible ink. Conversation starters to remember in case Joe
happens to be in the tasting room, which is in that aforementioned
geodesic dome, originally built as a barrel chai in the 1970s as Napa
was about to begin its most fruitful reinvention as a fine wine mecca.
But it wont be hard to start a conversation people are known to
break into song here as they gather around the many-sided bar and
dig into wines built for pleasure, quality, value and consistency
vintage to vintage.
Move next to the fact that inside that dome youll find not just the
broad array of Napa Cellars wines, sourced from many of Napas most
sought after appellations, but in addition, two additional familiar
labels as well.
Mnage Trois is one of Americas fastest growing and most
favorite wine brands, the touchstone that truly launched the red blend
24

trend. With names like Silk for their soft red blend and Midnight for
a dark red blend, you know youre in for something unique. You
know that Gold Standard? Check out the just released Mnage
Trois Gold Chardonnay, an intriguing blend of Chardonnay kissed
with a touch of Viognier and Verdelho.
There are varietal wines in addition to the blends to sample, and be
sure to ask about the Mnage Trois Indulgence wine club, different
than most in that you can specify which of the 16 wines you might
like to have in your shipment.
Mnage Trois emerged from Folie Deux, wonderful wines now
sourced from Sonoma vineyards in the countys best growing regions,
providing some contrast not found in many Napa tasting experiences.
The shared passion of the founders, who were coincidentally both
psychiatrists, literally translated as a passion shared by two. Today,
that passion is expressed for your enjoyment in a half-dozen favorite
varietals, including Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot
Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris.
Enjoy the wines with a picnic lunch in a small grove astride a
Cabernet vineyard. There are picnic tables to be sure, but there are
also several rattan styled chairs and mini-couches, perfect for sharing
experiences from your day in Napa.
Follow us on Twitter @WineCountryTW

Wine Country This Week >> WINE COUNTRY NEWS

The geodesic dome is surrounded by picturesque Oakville vineyards


and coastal mountains no matter which direction you look. The tasting
room is down to earth and laid back, so much so that its not unusual
to find guests rocking out and singing along as they taste the wines.

Winemaker Joe Shirley

And lets not forget Napa Cellars


These wines express a Napa attitude, ripe, rich and balanced.
Winemaker Joe Shirley, at the helm here for more than a decade, gets to
pick the best fruit from vineyards all over Napa, and it shows. There are 11
wines to explore with your wine educator host, including the popular
Chardonnay and a new tier of V Collection wines, limited production, subappellation wines that honor and pay tribute to the original five acres upon
which Napa Cellars was founded in 1968.
Tasting ranges across tiers, allowing you to choose from Classics or
Limited Releases or Napa Cellars Reserve for a top-drawer treat. The
pleasant tasting room includes the usual array of extras, including locally
sourced olive oils.
Ask about the Latitude 38 wine club, which takes the question of which
wines you like the most right off the table: the club includes seasonal
selections of both Napa Cellars and Folie Deux wines. The club name?
Well, Bay Area sailors would let you know that Latitude 38, Longitude 122
would bring you safely home to San Francisco Bay, and many vineyards are
marked by their exact GPS signatures. Sonomas Alexander Valley, where a
new Folie Deux Petite Sirah is sourced, is found at Latitude: 38 42' 28" N,
Longitude: 122 59' 46" W Join the club and youll soon be navigating
>> By JIM CAUDIll
through all the wines with ease .
Follow us on Twitter @WineCountryTW

Outside on the relaxing patio, you just might hear the neighbors
rooster crowing as you sip wine and take in the views. Feel free to bring
your own picnic lunch and take your time soaking up the wine country
ambience.
A wide selection of Napa Valley and California wines are poured
including varietals from Napa Cellars, Folie Deux and Mnage Trois.

Planning Your Trip


The Napa Cellars tasting room is found right near Napa stalwarts
Mustards and Brix, popular destination restaurants. Traffic can be
busy here, so be careful from the center lane turning into the parking
lot. Reservations requested for groups of 8 or more.

Nowhere else in wine country can you experience such an iconic representation of
harvest fun than the Grgich Hills Grape Stomp. This unique harvest activity is the only
of its kind in Napa Valley. Each day during grape harvest, visitors can get ankle-deep in
the pick of the season. Offered on a first-come, first-served basis in the front
demonstration vineyard, guests (including club members and even the kiddos) can
jump in a half-barrel of freshly plucked grapes from the surrounding vineyard and
stomp away! Upon exiting the barrel, your grape-stained feet will land on a white I
Stomped At Grgich Hills T-shirt, a memento of your fun to take home with you. Not
to worry, you wont be in the juice long enough to even stain your feet, and water and
towels are provided for a thorough clean up. It is however recommended that guests
dress accordingly for the activitymeaning its probably not the day to wear all white!
And while you wait your turn for a stomp, stroll the adjacent vineyards to see and taste
the differences between a Cabernet and Petite Verdot grape, or sip on a glass of wine
from a monogrammed souvenir GoVino wine glass. Grape stomping is held daily from
10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., weather permitting. Estimated availability annually is midAugust through Halloween; check their website for an updated schedule. Adults over 21
are $30 per person, club members are $20 per person, guests under 21are $15 per

TWICE AS NICE!
Visit Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery in Dry Creek Valley, or taste
the wines on the Healdsburg Plaza at Ferrari-Caranos Seasons of the
Vineyard Wine Shop, both festively decorated for the holidays!

FERRARI-CARANO VINEYARDS AND WINERY


Founded in 1981 by Don and Rhonda Carano, Ferrari-Carano is home to
award-winning wines, five acres of beautiful gardens and breathtaking
vineyard views. Starting with a small, 30-acre vineyard in the late 70s,
Ferrari-Carano has grown to about 1,900 certified sustainably-farmed

wines, the spectacular Italianate hospitality center, Villa Fiore, on the 70-acre
Dry Creek Valley ranch with estate vineyards and beautiful gardens.

beautiful garden views.

Wine & Chocolate Pairing


Offered in the Enoteca is an educational and fun wine tasting
option that features five Ferrari-Caranos wineseach paired with a
custom blended chocolate bar, especially created for the winery. How
it works: each section of the semi-sweet chocolate bar has been
crafted with different flavorings specifically chosen to pair with one of
the Cabernet wines. Start at the beginning of the bar, bite off a piece
of chocolate and then sip the corresponding Cabernet. This
combination of fine artisan chocolate expertly complements the
fruit-forward characteristics of the wines, and is a tasting experience
you will not soon forget.

Mayo Family Wines Garner More Gold, Best of Class


Enjoy Medal-Winning Wines in a Fun, Unpretentious Atmosphere

Sonoma County Harvest Fair Gold Medal Winners!

Mayo Family Winery is a cheerful, comfortable, unpretentious


place with seriously good wines, conveniently located in the heart of
Sonoma Valley. The barnlike building is shaded with ancient oak trees,
which also provide shade for the picnic area in the back.
The tasting room is roomy, airy and bright, with big windows that
let in the warm Sonoma sunshine. A rock fireplace sits in one corner
to warm the room on cooler days. In another corner, a large display
case proudly showcases dozens of wine awards (And the wines are
really good more on that in a bit). A tall, glossy wooden bar spans
the room. There is a private room in the back to accommodate large
groups and private tastings.

Mayo Family Winery recently cleaned up at the Sonoma County


Harvest Fair, raking in two Best of Class medals, eight gold medals, 18
silver medals and 18 bronze medals. That is quite an accomplishment!
I had the pleasure of tasting a couple of the medal winners and I have
to agree with the judges on this these are seriously good wines!
BEST OF CLASS MEDAL 2014 Merlot, The Francis Riggins
Vineyard, Sonoma Valley ($40): Classic Merlot! Aromas and flavors
of black cherry, cocoa, mocha, vanilla and savory herbs all play nicely
together from the first sip, through the sexy, silky mouthfeel and on
through the long finish. GOLD MEDAL - 2013 Grenache, Kunde
Ranch Vineyard, Sonoma Valley Jeffreys Cuvee ($40):
Mouthwatering aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, Christmas spice
and pepper continue as flavors in the velvety, juicy mouth. Long,
delicious finish.

These are Really Nice Folks, and They are Dog-Friendly, Too!
The tasting room team is made up of friendly, knowledgeable and
absolutely delightful folks! Most of them have been with Mayo Family
Winery for years, so they know the wines, the history of the winery
and many of their customers by name. Feel free to bring your dog!

Meredith Leahy
Winemaker for Huge Bear Wines
Unique Tasting Opportunity
Private, seated tastings of limited-production
Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Cabernet
Sauvignon can take place inside the Vault of the
Historic Calistoga National Bank Building
built in 1909.

Wine and Cheese or Food Pairings


available by appointment only.

Since Meredith Leahy came on board in 2007 she has been actively forging her
path in the wine world. The small Huge Bear winery was not a bad place to start.
Under the tutelage of winemakers Douglas Danielak and Jeff Ames, Leahy learned
the art and science of winemaking. Starting as a production assistant, Meredith
became a winemaker for the winery after a short time. Now, the 33-year-old from
Florida has carved out her niche.
Leahy works with a talented winemaking team to bring the wines to new levels of
creativity, quality and innovation. Its always been fun for me to not have a desk job
and have my hands in everything.
With an education in chemistry from the University of Florida, Leahy arrived in
California to seek out a certificate in winemaking from UC Davis.
But its not just the science of the job that excites her. Leahy is driven by the
challenge of blending science with art, another of her passions.
We are constantly thinking about who we want to be and do we match that from
each vintage, she said.
Speaking during the middle of harvest, Leahy said 2016 is shaping up as an ideal
year. The fruit, she said, is of high quality with low acidity and a lot of flavor.
We are seeing great chemistries. I think there will be some nice structure to these
wines.

Wine Country This Week >> WINE COUNTRY NEWS

Better Beckons

Huge Bear is about to release its 2013 Cabernet


Sauvignon, she said, adding that she expects this wine to have
more aging potential than the 2012 vintage. Leahy said shes
excited about the 2016 Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay that
are taking shape in the fermentation tanks.
Its an exciting time to be part of this winery, she said. Shes
been with the company from its infancy in a trailer on the
vineyard and has seen its growth into a downtown tasting
room and a lot of recognition with a steadily growing wine
club membership.
And there seems to be no slowing on Leahys end for her
excitement about the wine, trying new things and always
learning.
Its been a great opportunity to learn, Ive learned from
amazing people. Its been invaluable.

world-class motion sports artist, well known in the international
motor racing world and the official artist at Mazda Raceway Laguna
Seca performed a live painting of Ray Harrouns 1911 Indy 500
winner and the winner of the 100th running this year, Alexander
Rossi. It was auctioned off to benefit the Michael Andretti
Foundation and was later signed by Alexander Rossi himself.
To officially kick-off the Verizon IndyCar Series Championship
weekend, Sonoma
Chapter of Speedway
Childrens Charities
partnered with the
Michael Andretti
Foundation to put on
the IndyCar Grand
Prix Salute at Andretti
Winery in Napa on
Friday, September
16th. The beautiful evening included a seated dinner paired with
Andretti Winery award winning wines on the front lawn of the Villa
House. A Q&A session was featured at the dinner with Andretti
Autosport drivers, including Ryan Hunter-Reay, Carlos Munoz and
Alexander Rossi, winner of the 100th running of the Indianapolis
500, as well as three generations of Andrettis: Mario, Michael and
Marco. The event, which included a reception, sit-down dinner as
well as silent and live auctions raised more than $35,000 for Sonoma

after the retirement of
racing legend Michael

others. It allows his legacy the chance to help the charitable purposes
of others. "The Michael Andretti Foundation was established to focus
national resources on people who have shown need and to help
promote programs for better health, education and welfare of all
of America's children and citizens, explains Michael.

world charm and Italian winemaking processes to the Napa Valley.
This past July, these good friends celebrated the 20th anniversary of
Andretti Winery with a series of parties and special events that
included a limited edition 20th Anniversary reserve Cabernet.
Andretti Winery is a Napa Valley icon and demand for their highly
sought after portfolio of wines has been incredible.
Joe Antonini, Chairman and CEO, recently restructured the wine
club membership program and explains, to keep up with the
demand of loyal and long-term members, we needed to cap out a few
of our clubs and limit the number of new members to only two clubs
that still have space available. Visitors to Andretti Winery can visit
the tasting room daily
from 10:30 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. or choose

Spring Mountain District Tasting in San Francisco on November 17


Elegant mountain wines come to The City

Light hors doeuvres will be offered.
The Presidio Golden Gate Club is located
at 135 Fisher Loop in San Francisco (94129).
For those who love wines made in the
mountains but cant take the time to travel to
the top of Spring Mountain in St. Helena,
were bringing the wines to San Francisco,
explains Tom Ferrell, Executive Director,
Spring Mountain Winery District Association.
The 18 participating wineries are: Barnett
Vineyards, Behrens Family Vineyard, Cain
Vineyard & Winery, Fantesca Estate &
Winery, Frias Family Vineyards, Keenan
Winery, Luscher-Ballard Vineyard, Paloma

why they chose to cultivate grapes on one of
Napa Valleys steepestand most historic
mountain regions.
The small Spring Mountain appellation
has produced an abundance of wines
acclaimed worldwide for the unmistakably
intense flavor and delicate, balanced tannins
that are now the signature of the
appellation, Ferrell explains.

aficionados to taste these wines in a beautiful


location overlooking the San Francisco Bay
and the Golden Gate Bridge while beginning
to plan follow-up visits to the wonderful
family-owned wineries in attendance at their
properties high on Spring Mountain.

Spring Mountain District


Spring Mountain was described 25 years
ago by a prominent wine writer as probably
more responsible than any other Napa
hillside for creating the mystique of
mountain grapes.
With a strong identity formed over one
and one half centuries, the region finally
became an official AVA in 1993. The region is
known for its lush vegetation, redwood
groves, picturesque, steeply sloped vineyard
blocks and family wineries hidden from view
among dark forests and steep winding roads.
Its vineyards range from small to smaller,
often hand-tilled on terraces and sloping
meadows. Its varied terrain includes a wide
variety of soil types and exposures which is

the source of the diversity of its wines.


Farming on Spring Mountain is not easy,
and the district has attracted strong,
independent and passionate winegrowers.
From these viticultural challenges come a
proliferation of unique wines. Within this
diversity the wines have some common
characteristics. Spring Mountain red wines
are known for their intense color, bright fruit
aromas and surprisingly soft flavors. Spring
Mountain whites for their acidity, balance
and long life in the bottle.
Today, the wines of Spring Mountain
receive consistently excellent reviews and
ratings between 90 and 100 points from
sources such as Robert Parkers Wine
Advocate, The Wine Spectator, Connoisseurs
Guide and The Wine Enthusiast.
There are currently about 30 vineyards
and wineries, encompassing 8,600 acres of
mountain wilderness, of which about 1,000
are planted to vineyards.

springmountaindistrict.org.

decided to sell his namesake winery, Matthew


Gacso and Colette Milliman jumped at the
opportunity to go from passionate employees
to dedicated owners. Now, when you visit,
the wine educator and host might be either
Matt or Colette continuing to do what they
love. Wouldnt you expect that to make the
wine tasting experience all that more special?
It does.
This boutique winery features vineyarddesignated, varietally focused wines from
exceptional vineyards in both Sonoma and
Napa counties. Winemaker Jesse Inman,
nephew of founder August Briggs, works
primarily with growers who share a love of
the land and a devotion to winegrowing that
produces exceptional fruit that speaks to the
origin of the fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon from
Dry Creek and the famed Monte Rosso
Vineyard are good examples. Pinot Noir from
the Dutton Ranches, one of Sonomas
founding wine families, lead the way. The
Page Nord Syrah has a devoted following.
The winsome bottles, which have an
artisan, hand-painted cast, feature a
dandelion with the wind blowing away some
of the florets because, to blow a dandelion is
to make a wish.
In the tasting room, youll feel welcomed
and quickly realize that asking questions of
any kind is welcomed, a starting point for

your host to explain not only the answer to


your question, but the backstory to the
vineyard, the wine and the growing region.
Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast can be
contrasted with Pinot Noir from the Russian
River Valley, or consider a bottling of just
Dijon clones, a Napa Pinot Noir that allows
you to understand the role and influence of
winegrower selections of clones, rootstocks,
spacing and soils.

Substance & Style Mark


The Tasting Room Experience
The comfortable tasting room in Calistoga
features a variety of flights of August Briggs
wines. Selections vary, and most of the 3,500
cases produced annually are acquired by
members of the wine club and those who
visit the tasting room. With such a tiny
production and a history of successful
vintages over the past two decades,
sometimes a wine will simply be sold out.
But just as often youll find Old Vine
Zinfandel produced from vineyards first
planted in the 1880s, or a Charbono thats
likely to be one of the few youll ever taste,
since just a few acres of Charbono remain
planted in all of California. A decidedly
unbuttery Chardonnay from the Leveroni
Ranch in Carneros is usually available.

One-of-a-Kind Shopping

Yuletide carols are somehow sweeter in


the town of Yountville. Several music
ensembles will lend their voices, music and
talent to the festivities.

From hand-painted chocolates and


exquisite jewelry, to local artwork and luxury
spa goods, Yountvilles local artists and
artisans offer one-of-a-kind gift ideas for
everyone on your holiday list. Following the
town lighting, Yountvilles art galleries and
boutiques will keep their doors open well
past regular hours for convenient and
enjoyable shopping experience.

Romantic Carriage Rides


Cozy horse-drawn carriage rides will be
clip-clopping down the sparkling lanes of
downtown Yountville starting at 6 p.m. Its an
opportunity to cuddle up, drink a glass of
wine and savor a special moment in Wine
Country. Carriage rides are free for event
attendees.

Photos with Santa


Hes making his list and checking it twice
and Santa will be ready and waiting for the
sweet whispers (and occasional tears) of
children eager to share their wish lists.

Tree and town lighting


Always the highlight of the festival, Santa
and Yountville Mayor John Dunbar will light
the tree in the Community Center Plaza
located at 6516 Washington Street promptly
at 5:45 p.m. Townsfolk and visitors far and
wide will gather round some perched atop
the shoulders of sturdy parents to gaze
upon thousands of lights in the brisk
November air. Its a community moment that
draws people close and collectively brings joy
to the season.

Tasting Rooms Stay Open Later


Revelers can wine taste after normal hours
during the festivities and each tasting room
in Yountville sells unique and exquisite wares
alongside exceptional wine selections to
check gifts off any holiday list.

SONOMA COUNTY << Wine Country This Week

Spooktacular Halloween Wine from Virginia Dare Winery


Celebrate Fright Night with Virginia Dares The Lost Colony
The Story
The Lost Colony wine is inspired by the disappearance of one of
the first English settlements in the New World. The Lost Colony left
behind one of the great mysteries in American history and is the basis
of this seasons American Horror Story: Roanoke.
In 1587, John White led 118 English men, women and children on
a three-month voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. They landed on
Roanoke Island, and set about establishing a permanent colony. A
month after arrival, Whites daughter, Eleanor, gave birth to a baby
girl: Virginia Darethe first child of English parentage born in the
New World. Governor White made a trip back to England to secure
aid. But when he returned three years later, the colony was lost
without a trace. The only clue was a cryptic carving: C-R-O in the
bark of a tree.
What had happened? Were there any survivors? To this day, the
Lost Colony remains a mystery, and theories about its fate are
numerous. Local legend has it that soon after the colonys
disappearance, a fair-haired baby girl was seen playing among the
children of the Croatoan, the neighboring Native American
community, and there she happily grew into a graceful young maid.
Could she have been Virginia Dare?

The Wine
The Lost Colony is a distinctive, full-bodied blend of Syrah,
Malbec and Cabernet Franc sourced from warm reaches of Dry
Creek Valley in Sonoma County. Each glass of The Lost Colony
invites you to uncover its secrets and surrender to earthy flavors of
oak and tobacco, subtle notes of black and red berries, and
harmonious hints of spices.

Visit the Winery


Virginia Dare Winery offers unique wine
experiences hosted by an educated staff
member.
Showcase Flight Crafted exclusively with
grapes from the Russian River Valley in
Sonoma County, the Virginia Dare Showcase
Wines pay homage to the legendary Virginia
Dare herself. Enjoy tastings of both Virginia
Dare Pinot Noir and Chardonnay which have
been crafted in reminiscence of the original
Virginia Dare wines. In addition to the two
Showcase Wines, you will also receive a taste
of The Lost Colony, one of the four Legends
Wines that each unveil a different aspect of
the legend of Virginia Dare.
Legends Flight Each of the four Legends
Wines in turn reveals a different aspect of the
Virginia Dare legend. These stories are rooted
in the origins of the "Mother Vine," a
Scuppernong grapevine in Roanoke Island,
and in the fate of one of the first English
settlements in the New World, which mysteriously disappeared
without a trace. What remain are the enduring tales of mythical and
mysterious characterseach of which grace the labels of these eclectic
American blends. In addition to the four Legends wines, you will also
receive a tasting of one of the Showcase Wines, Virginia Dare Pinot
Noir or Chardonnay, both crafted exclusively with grapes from the
Russian River Valley in Sonoma County.

Geyserville, CA 95441. For more information or reservations, call

MAITAKE TEMPURA WITH PONZU DIPPING SAUCE


Recipe by Chef John Ash from Cooking Wild
FOR THE PONZU SAUCE:
1/2 cup fresh lime or lemon juice or a combination
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/3 cup Japanese soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon Asian fish sauce (or to taste)

FOR THE BATTER:


2 cups rice flour
1 egg yolk
2 cups club soda, chilled cold
Canola oil for frying
1 pound Maitake mushrooms, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
1 cup corn starch
Sea salt

Dont worry if the mushrooms break up a bit. You can fry all the little pieces which are my favorite nibbles. See
below recipe for a side bar with tips on deep frying.
In separate bowls whisk the Ponzu sauce and tempura mixtures to combine. Add 2 inches of oil to a deep sauce
pan or Dutch oven and heat to 375 degrees.
Dust Maitake with the cornstarch shaking off any excess. Dredge them in the batter and fry until golden brown,
about 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon or spider transfer to a paper lined rack to drain. Sprinkle lightly with salt and
serve warm with the dipping sauce.
DEEP FRYING
A steady diet of fried foods certainly isnt good, but Im not about to abandon them entirely. I cant think of another technique that adds
flavor and texture the way that frying does. There is shallow frying (what we do for Southern Fried Chicken) and deep frying (what we do
for wings, fries, croquettes). There are three important things to think about when frying:
1. Good clean oil with a relatively high smoke point. We never want to cook with oil that has been smoked because its chemistry
changes, and not for the good. If you smoke an oil, and weve all done it, toss it out and start over. Canola is a good all-purpose oil for
frying because of its relatively high smoke point and neutral flavor.
2. The right temperature. The sweet spot for frying is 350F to 375F. You dont want to go less than 350F because the food tends to absorb more oil, making it greasy and leaden. If you are cooking something that will take a while to cook through, such as a whole
chicken, more than 375F will tend to overcook the outside before the inside is done. Use a thermometer. There are all kinds in the
market, including a laser gun that can read the surface of the oil without a probe.
3. Cold food into hot fat is best. Were often told in recipes to chill something that weve breaded or coated before frying but not told why.
The why is that when cold food hits the hot fat, there is an immediate crisping of the surface, which helps to retard the absorption of
oil. It wont make the food impervious to the oil, but it does help to make the food less greasy.

Mendocino County Mushroom, Wine & Beer Festival


Visit Mendocino County and its partners invite you to join
them November 4-13, 2016 for the annual Mendocino County
Mushroom, Wine & Beer Festival
Each year in late October, as the first rains start to fall,
mushrooms flourish in abundance in Mendocino County,
which is home to over 3,000 types of mushrooms. Its the
perfect place to sample and pick some of the 500 types of
delicious edible mushrooms, such as chanterelles, porcinis,
morels, 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
(and makes for delicious ice cream!).
To celebrate this cultivation of mushrooms, we have
partnered with many businesses and organizations throughout
the county to offer a menu of mushroom, winemaker, and brew
master dinners, mushroom exhibits, guided mushroom forays,
outdoor adventures, lodging specials and much more in this
guide and on our website!

Events take place throughout the County, from the inland


valleys to the coast. Plan your trip at www.visitmendocino.com or
by calling 1-866-466-3636

Do the Math
One of the questions most asked when it comes to wine is how much of this does it take to make that, and so on. We wont pretend that its simple, but here are some industry statistics that will give a pretty good
answer to that query. As with anything agricultural, of course, they are all based on countless variables when it comes to acre yields, but this is a good starting point. The rest of the information varies little if at all.

A single bottle contains:


750 ml of wine which is 25.6 ounces made
from about 2.4 pounds of grapes (39 oz.) and
is enough for four or maybe five glasses.

One standard oak barrel of wine holds:


295 bottles of wine (or 59 gallons)
made from 740 pounds of grapes
which works out to almost
but not precisely 24 cases of wine.

A case of wine includes:


a dozen 750 ml bottles
(or 24 half bottles)
or 307.2 ounces total, which
comes from 30 pounds of grapes.

62

An acre of vineyard land can give the grower:


five tons of grapes (though it is also less, depending on a variety of
farming and winemaking practices, and on the varietal and the vineyard
location) which will give you 797 gallons of juice (or thirteen-and-a-half
barrels) which is pretty close to four thousand bottles of wine.

pairing, and wine tasting experiences for both the wine novice and
expert.
The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards uses locally grown organic
ingredients and features ingredient-driven California wine country
cuisine. While the menu holds its foundation in American dishes, it is
influenced by French and Italian provincial cuisine. The seasonal menu
changes daily, utilizing produce from The Restaurants organic garden.
Wente Vineyards is also the only winery in Livermore Valley to
offer a championship 18-hole public golf course.
Family, food, entertainment, and of course, the wines beckon
visitors to experience the legacy that is Wente Vineyards.

VASCO ROAD

Livermore Valley, with its rich heritage and variety of wine tasting
experiences, should be a top destination that people consider when
planning their next wine country getaway. As the countrys oldest,
continuously operated, family-owned winery and Californias First
Family of Chardonnay, Wente Vineyards would be a good place to
start the journey. The winery, led by fourth and fifth generation family
members, has clearly proven their leadership both in winegrowing
and in being one of Californias premier wine country destinations.
The Winemakers Studio is an option for consumers to learn more
about wine. This state-of-the-art wine education studio offers an
intimate, behind-the-scenes look at grape growing, wine and food

Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Announces Upcoming Fall Events

Santa Cruz Mountains AVA


The Santa Cruz Mountain Winegrowers
Association is an alliance of more than 65
wineries, most of them family-run, working
to promote the unique aspects of the wines
and Santa Cruz Mountains AVA. Formed in
1981, the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA is
nestled in one of the most unique
winegrowing regions in the world,
beginning just south of San Francisco
spanning the mountain range between the
San Francisco Bay and the Pacific. Mountain

terrain, marine influence, varied


microclimates and distinctive soils combine
to produce ideal conditions for high quality
winegrowing. The small size of the wineries
allows for greater attention to detail that
maximizes the potential of the grapes grown
here.
For more information, contact the Santa
Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association
(SCMWA) by phone (831) 685-8463, by
email at contact@scmwa.com, online at
scmwa.com, on Facebook.com/SCMWA and
on Twitter @SCMWA.

What does all that information on a wine label mean?

XYZ Winery

The U.S. Department of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms regulates wine labels
and requires that information be given in a straightforward way. Basically,
you will want to look for the types of grapes grown, where the grapes are
grown and when the grapes were picked.
