intelligence for the Wine conSUMer by Len Napolitano
Which wines are best for barbecues?

Summer grilling triggers two very different types of wine in my mind: First, there are the crisp, dry or semi-dry, white and ros wines that really satisfy when served very chilled. You may not think of wine as necessarily a thirst quencher, but a refreshing white wine, like Pinot Grigio and some dry ros wines can be quite refreshing. The other wine style that comes to mind for a barbecue is richly flavored reds like Syrah, Zinfandel and Petite Sirah. The reason is because of barbecue sauce that usually smothers grilled chicken or ribs. I like the combination of the sweet and spicy flavor in the sauce with the full body and rich, dark fruitiness of these wines. Ive long been a big fan of Syrah but I have also grown pretty fond of the Petite Sirah as well. Both wines have an exotic black fruitiness with a spicy edge but the Petite Sirah has an additional boldness to it that can be jarring in a good way. Red Zinfandel also delivers a spicy fruit flavor that lends itself to summer grilling. Just keep in mind that these full-bodied red wines tend to come with higher alcohol levels than white wines and even many other red wines. Of course, when it comes to wine and food I always state that your personal preference takes precedent over any suggestions I make. If you only drink Merlot, for example, then thats what you should drink with barbecue. But, if youre in the mood to explore, try one of these alternatives. As I have mentioned in the past, Pinot Noir is a good wine to serve when you need to satisfy many different palates even at a barbecue. It's the perfect red wine if you are looking for something safe -- not too light, not too big. It can handle grilled fish as well as mild red meats served without rich sauces. Another is Beaujolais from France. It is even light enough to go with summer salads (and can even be served slightly chilled) and filled with bright, cherry-like fruit. Great without food, too.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINE COUNTRY NEWS
Quality Wines All Under $25 at Wine Garage, Calistoga

by Jeffry Ross
The Skinny The Wine Garage is all about the juice. Its also about having fun
like a kid in a candy store. The Wine Garage is, literally, a former gas station. Todd, the wine buyer, travels far and wide to find top-shelf, affordably priced wines. Inside, youll find more than 200 different labels neatly arranged in cases on the floor and an engaging staff who are friendly, attentive and most importantly, they know their wines. Buzz Despite its funky space, the Wine Garage is a wine lovers best friend. Reminiscent of visiting your favorite record store (yes, kids, once upon a time, thats where you had to buy your music), the fun is going through all the cases and finding something youve never heard of. All the wines have been test driven by the staff, so, whatever you select, you wont be disappointed. Value Ultimately, the Wine Garage is about value. Its no secret that in Napa Valley, its difficult to score a highly rated red for less than $65, but the Wine Garage manages to do it all the time. The staff takes great pride hunting down unusual and lesser-known, limited-production wines and passing their haggling finesse on to us. Ten-second summary Nothing in this hip hideaway is more than $25 (with a few under $15)! The Wine Garage is stocked with premium, small-lot wines that you wont find at BevMo, Trader Joes or your local wine store (plus, they do a better job storing their wines at the correct temperature). Best bets In addition to all the labels the Wine Garage represents, they also produce their own lip-smacking blends. My in-house favorites are: 2009 Joy Ride White, 2008 Russian River Syrah, 2007 Napa Valley Cabernet, 2008 Chihuahua Cabernet and 2006 Hillside Cabernet. Under-the-radar Go old-school with half-gallon jugs filled while you wait using their specifically designed service station nozzles. Not only are the wines delicious (and affordable), the jug is crazy fun conversation at the table. Its also a cool gift. Secrets For the next few weeks, receive an additional ten percent off the already low prices when you purchase six bottles. Twenty percent on a case. Better yet, the Wine Garage has the BEST wine club in the valley and they ship just about everywhere. Insider If youre a serious wino, get on the inside track for ultra exclusive deals by hooking up with the Wine Garage on Twitter and Facebook (wine club members get first crack to cream-of-the-crop finds).

WINERY FEATURE | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Mahoney Vineyards
A Taste of Carneros in Downtown Napa
by Abigail P. Zimmerman
Straightforward traditional winemaking can get lost in the hoity toity, flowery trends of modern wine. But good, old-fashioned wines are alive and well and surprisingly affordable at Mahoney Vineyards in downtown Napa. Taste at Oxbow Tasting Room is tucked into an unassuming storefront next to popular destinations Gotts Roadside Cafe and Oxbow Market. Mahoney Vineyards is one of only two labels poured and specializes in top tier Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and a surprising array of Italian and Spanish varietals such as Albarino, Montepulciano and Vermentino. Owner Francis Mahoney is an honest sort, first a grower of grapes and then steward of good, solid wines. Working with Winemaker Ken Foster, Mahoney produces 100% estate grown, hand-picked, hand-made wines in very small productions. Each release of wine is vineyard designated, delicious and reflects a life long love affair with the vine. earthy elegance of Pinot. He threw himself into the pursuit of producing a Pinot that rivaled the French. Francis specifically explored the Burgundian concept of terroir or the combined influence of climate and place on wine. He looked for an area similar to Burgundy here in the Bay Area and found it in the region of Los Carneros. As young newlyweds, Francis and bride Kathleen moved north to Napa Valley where Francis took a job at then-Mayacamas Winery. Francis planted Bordeaux varietals by day and was winemaker for then-label Connoisseur Imports at night. It wasnt long before he sought a more formal education in winemaking and enrolled at prestigious UC Davis. Working essentially three jobs at once, young Francis nursed his ongoing love affair with Pinot but also learned the fundamental structure of winemaking and grape growing. This elemental understanding of wine is clear in Mahoney wines today. Mahoney Vineyards is one visionary mans shining culmination of 40 years worth of embracing the chemistry, the seasonal tides of growing grapes, and the nuanced art of winemaking. Says Francis, at Mahoney Vineyards, we make old world wines. Fruit is the [focus] in each bottle not some frilly, fancy modern version of wine. We make real wine.
Eyeing a Little Known Region Called Los Carneros

During the 1980s and 90s, Francis and Kathleen worked diligently to build their brand. Slowly they bought out Connoisseur Imports and expanded vineyard operations. Still eyeing Los Carneros region south of Napa, the Mahoneys began buying old farmland along CA Hwy 121. Explains Francis, Back then, Carneros wasnt even planted. It was all cows. Most of the grapes in Napa were north of Yountville. There really wasnt a lot going on there. It was a different era. The Mahoneys saw an opportunity to embrace this cooler region and plant continental varieties, especially his beloved Pinot Noir. And plant they did. Today, Mahoney Vineyards owns more than 170 acres of estate vineyards in Carneros of premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Grapes planted in Mahoneys Las Brisas Vineyard, Mahoney Ranch and Gavin Vineyard greatly benefit from Carneros unique microclimate, soil, and close proximity to the Pacific Ocean. In fact, the Mahoney vineyards
Falling in Love With Pinot

In 1971, at the ripe old age of 25, Francis Mahoney fell in love with Pinot Noir. Known even then as a finicky grape and temperamental wine to create, Francis loved the

On the Sonoma side, he grows 85% Pinot Noir but the other 15% of the land is now planted with the Italian varieties he and his family came to love. I got smart early and married an Italian girl from my neighborhood, says Francis. Though he still loved his Burgundian Pinot, trips to visit Kathleens family in the Genoan towns of Lucca and Busalla instilled a love of Italian wines in the couple.

Pope Valley Winery

Turn Left and Go Back 100 Years
Along a winding country road, up an unpaved drive and past Gus a big, friendly, chocolate lab, youll find one of the most unpretentious, down-to-earth tasting rooms around. A visit to Pope Valley Winery allows wine lovers to step back in time and experience 40 acres of history. In the early 1860s, bewitched by dreams of striking it rich, Ed Haus emigrated from Switzerland with his three brothers to join in the California Gold Rush. In 1897, Ed and his wife founded The Burgundy Wine and Olive Factory. They fashioned it as a three-story gravitational flow winery with a hand-dug cave, to allow the wine to flow from crusher, to press, to barrel. A century later, the Eakle family, long-time Pope Valley Residents, purchased the abandoned winery and gave it a new life as Pope Valley Winery. In 2009 the next generation of Eakles, siblings David Eakle as winemaker and Diana Eakle Hawkins as general manager stepped in to continue building and furthering the families vision for Pope Valley Winery as a fine winemaking establishment. Today, nestled in the relatively undiscovered Pope Valley, Pope Valley Winerys grounds seem almost untouched by time, with six original nineteenth century structures still standing. Visitors are invited to tour the original farmhouse, a blacksmith shop, a wagon shed and more. Many of the original tools still reside inside the historical structures. While the three-story winery has power now, its cave, which took nine years to dig, still exists and is still used to barrel age wines. Pope Valley Winery produces high quality, handcrafted single varietal wines. The winerys vineyards include over 80 acres planted to Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chenin Blanc, Zinfandel and Merlot. The rich, intense and flavorful wines are created by combining superior fruit and oak barrel aging in the century old cave. Although located off the beaten track, Pope Valley Winery has definitely been discovered by wine critics. In fact, five medals were awarded to Pope Valley wines at the 2010 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition alone, including a double gold for the2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Reserve. To visit Pope Valley Winery, turn left and go back 100 years to 6613 Pope Valley Road in Pope Valley. Complimentary tastings are Monday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (707) 965-1246 or visit the website at www.popevalleywinery.com.

Black Stallion Winery

Black Stallion Winery is located in the Oak Knoll District, a grape-growing region in the southern half of the Napa Valley. The name Black Stallion pays homage to the rich history of the 32-acre estate which was once home to the Silverado Horsemans Center. The equestrian center featured an indoor riding track, numerous training rings, breeding facilities and an outdoor arena that seated 3,000 spectators. After more than two years of construction, Black Stallion Winery opened its doors in 2007. The indoor track now houses winemaking production but remnants of the original 36 horse stalls are still visible today. In 2010, Black Stallion Winery was purchased by the Indelicato Family, one of the leading family-owned wine producers in the country. The grape-growing and winemaking history of Delicato Family Vineyards has spanned three generations and more than 85 years. The interior of the winery is breathtaking with high ceilings, stone fireplace, wine club as ros and Muscat. Most of the wines at Black Stallion Winery are crafted in very small case lots and are available only at the winery. Black Stallion also produces a Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon that are available primarily in wine shops and fine restaurants across the country. In addition to a balanced selection of wines in the tasting room, Black Stallion offers unique displays of gift items as well. The merchandise selection goes beyond the usual wine accessories and includes something for everyone. At Black Stallion Winery guests can taste seriously great wines in a fun and relaxed atmosphere making it a perfect wine tasting experience for people new to wine as well as the wine connoisseur. Black Stallion is a must see when visiting the Napa Valley.

Winemaker Profile: Baldacci Family Vineyards
Rolando Herrera
Following Dreams to Winemaking Success
by Josh Stein
The Napa Valley has been a place people have come to for more than a century, pursuing dreams of success in the wine business, and Rolando Herrera, who has been involved in the making of Napas finest of wines for three decades, is no different. Rolando grew up in Michoacan, Mexico, learning the fundamentals of sound agricultural practice working alongside his grandparents. As he remarks, I can still recall hiking with them into the mountains. Little did I know this simple lesson in terroir would have a profound impact on my life. He first came to Napa in 1975 when his parents relocated for work. Upon retirement, they, along with the family, returned to Michoacan, but Rolando himself returned to Napa at fifteen, seeking success in the Valley just like the original 19th-cenutry pioneers. In 1985, aged seventeen, he was hired to help with the construction of a stone wall at Stags Leap Wine Cellars, where his hard work and attention to detail came to the notice of owner Warren Winiarski, who offered Rolando his first position inside of a winery as
a cellar rat and with whom he would spend the next decade, his last seven years as Cellar Master. Afterwards, he took on a series of more demanding roles with Chateau Potelle and Vine Cliffe Winery, both on the Silverado Trail, before joining Paul Hobbs as Director of Wine in 2001 and founding his own then200-case, now-5,500-case brand, Mi Sueo. Subsequently, he was drawn back to the Stags Leap District and the Baldacci vineyards. As he notes, These are wines I know and love the best. In a way, I feel as if Ive come full circle because I started my career here. Now, I return with a wealth of knowledge and experience I can put to good use for the Baldacci family. And that he has done. Upon joining the Baldacci team in 2003, Rolando applied his philosophy of small-batch fermentations, dividing each vineyard into many blocks and then fermenting them separately, allowing for blending to become key in producing the estates best wines. What has been the result? Lots of amazing reviews and 90+ scores, but thats not what truly matters its whats in the glass that does. Among the most impressive of results have been the range of Cabernets Rolando has produced for the Baldaccis:
the Brendas Vineyard block-designated Cabernet; the all-Stags Leap District estate Black Label Cabernet; the IV Sons Cabernet and IV Sons Fraternity, with its Stags Leap Cab and Carneros Merlot and Syrah; the Ruppert Cabernet from Coombsville; and the Diamond Mountain Cab with its mountainside fruit. Its not just big reds where hes seen success for Baldacci Family Vineyards, though. Indeed, the Elizabeth Carneros and Mathilde Russian River Pinot Noirs show the same attention to winemaking detail, as is also seen in the individual small bottlings of Chardonnay and Gewrztraminer the winery only makes available directly. When you look at the list of wines above, what you see is Rolandos simple-but-detailoriented philosophy in practice. His keys to age-worthy Napa wines are to grow the best grapes possible and then listen to the vineyard while making those grapes into wine. Based on the reactions to his wines, its clear that the Baldaccis made the right choice in seeking out Rolando Herrera to steer their winemaking into their next cycle of growth: come taste for yourself and see the success produced by dreams first pursued more than thirty years ago. Salud!

Napa Valley Festival del Sole Celebrates the 20th Anniversary of Pride Mountain Vineyards
Pride Mountain Vineyards' top vintages, a gourmet dinner by renowned chef Gary Danko, and a private concert by the RNO Camerata help mark two decades of exceptional winemaking July 19, 2011
Napa Valley Festival del Sole celebrates the 20th Anniversary of Pride Mountain Vineyards with an exclusive gala dinner on Tuesday, July 19 at 6 p.m. Approximately 65 guests will toast two decades of exceptional winemaking with Pride Mountain Vineyards top vintages, a five-course dinner prepared by renowned chef Gary Danko and a private concert by the RNO Camerata. Perched atop Spring Mountain, some 2000 feet above the town of St. Helena, Pride Mountain Vineyards was founded in 1990 by Jim and Carolyn Pride. There is no question that the fruit quality at Pride Mountain is special, writes wine critic Robert Parker. Prides wines have been served at the White House more than 25 times, featured among the 22 California wineries chosen for Parkers book, The Worlds Greatest Wine Estates, and placed on the Wine Spectators annual Top 100 list six times in the last ten years. Pride's wines belong in every serious collector's cellar. The evening kicks off with a reception in the lawn area adjacent to the ruins of the old Summit Winery. Grapes were initially planted on the property in 1869 and the ruins of the old winery building, dating back to 1890, are still present. A performance by the dynamic RNO Camerata follows in this dramatic setting, with the septet performing works by Telemann, Bach, Piazzola, Morricone and Gardel. Guests will then be whisked away through the winerys caves to dine on the cave terrace, with sweeping views of the vineyards. Pride Mountain Vineyards award-winning, mountain-grown wines include Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Sangiovese, Chardonnay, Viognier, and a limited production dessert wine, Mistelle de Viognier. Grown on 83 planted acres on this 240acre historic estate, the Pride wines are uniquely distinguished because the Napa/Sonoma county line divides the ranch in two. A visit to Pride Mountain Vineyards takes wine enthusiasts to new heights and allows them to enjoy the glories of the Napa and Sonoma wine regions simultaneously. Napa Valley Festival del Sole takes place every summer in Californias beautiful Napa Valley. The festival features concerts by some of the worlds most celebrated musical artists, five-star cuisine, art exhibits and wines from Napas top vintners, blended in a unique celebration of the art of life. This years festival runs July 15-24. Special events include the second Dance Gala starring principal dancers from the Bolshoi and American Ballet Theatre; an expanded vocal series with sopranos Nino Machaidze, Aleksandra Kurzak and Marnie Breckenridge, baritone Guido Loconsolo and tenor Francesco Demuro; and the premiere of a multidisciplinary program dedicated to the world of Shakespeare.

SUISUN VALLEY
Under the Rainbow Dreams Come True in Fairfield
by Barbara L. Steinberg
Late winter rains have passed and spring skies are clearing. Though not the Land of Oz, there are some magical places under the rainbow just off I-80 in Northern California. How about the Land of Fairfield? Sometimes you have to be willing to take a chance look beyond your own backyard and take the road less traveled. You wont have to travel far. Fairfield is the perfect base camp to explore the profusion of regional activities throughout Solano County and neighboring counties, as well. A short distance from Californias world-famous Napa Valley wine region youll discover Fairfields rustic wine country in Suisun Valley. An idyllic destination, the Suisun Valley (pronounced sue-soon) is conveniently located less than 50 miles from Sacramento or San Francisco. A handful of tasting rooms are open to the public. What they lack in numbers, they make-up in quality, hospitality and welcoming experience. You wont find anyone but the winemakers or their families and friends behind the pour. The Suisun Valley Cooperative offers wines from five distinctively different family-owned wineries. The Blue Victorian Winery is a private estate owned by the Vezr family where you can partake of the gentle life: barrel tasting, a little bocce ball, and quiet views. Down the lane, Wooden Valley Vineyards & Winerys history dates back more than 75 years. Daily tastings and shaded picnic tables provide rest and relaxation. Fill your picnic basket at local farm stands or Barista Caf & Deli at Mankas Corner. Separated from Napa Valley by the Vaca Mountains, its a charming back road ramble through the valleys of Suisun and Wooden into Napa. Its not quite the long and winding roadwinding, yes, but less than 20 miles away. This amazing journey includes spectacular scenery in a little-explored corner of Solano County. Avoid all the hustle and bustle on this country lane as you glide peacefully from Fairfield into downtown Napa. Check your GPS coordinates or, if necessary, try an old-fashioned road map to find the scenic route from Fairfield to Napa and back again. Many familiar brand hotels are located just off I-80, making Fairfield a convenient overnight and weekend getaway. Escapes to nearby wine valleys Suisun and Napa are gentle on the pocketbook if you include overnight stays in Fairfield. Spend the day and a night your dreams can come true.

SUISUN VALLEY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Vezr Family Vineyards

If you are somewhere in the Napa or Sonoma wine country today, do you realize you are only about 15 to 20 minutes away from tasting your very first La Salette? People from all over the world can tell you where and when they first tasted La Salette. This simply gorgeous wine has started to be quite a phenomenon, especially when a single bottle a specially signed magnum brought in more than $30,000 at a prestigious charity wine auction in 2007. Fortunately, outside of the world of black ties, and tuxedos, one can get a taste, or a bottle, for far less. You say you have never heard of La Salette? Well, the truth is you cannot say you have tasted all of the best California has to offer until you have at least tasted this seductively lush, deep red wine. Its smooth, as if laying naked in amongst silk sheets, with just enough tannins to let you know this is a big persons drink. Add to this experience, dark cherries and ripe plums with aromas of vanillas and nuts coming from the strategically paired and very light use of French Limousine Oak barrels. La Salette is a blend of two Californian varietals made in a very similar style to the Amorone. La Salette is trademarked and can only be grown and vinted in Suisun Valley. Its a wine that no one has ever been disappointed after trying. Come discover this amazing wine in Suisun Valley. Often referred to as the Napa Back Road, this quaint little valley of rolling oak-studded hills, laced with terraced vineyards is back-dropped by the towering Vaca Mountains and the Twin Sister Mountains that separates the approximately 15-mile span from the town of Napa to the darling Suisun Valley. This valley, which is thought to be one of the oldest winemaking regions in North America, is dotted with small boutique family-owned wineries. The old country charm found here gives you that feel of what Napa used to be like in the era that set the scene for the Movie Bottle Shock and the famous prime time soap Falcon Crest. Here in Suisun Valley, you will find many great little gems at very reasonable prices. However, two absolute must visit wineries that are the actual custodians of the trademark license and the hallowed grounds that the La Salette was first grown and produced on. These special boutique wineries are the Blue Victorian Winery and Vezr Family Vineyard Winery. The Vezer Family, along with their married children, own and operate both wineries. Each winery is uniquely different, but both in their own way entirely preserves the 160-year-old Pioneer Estates they operate on. The Blue Victorian has a very unique verity of wines. They also carry a new second generation of the Vezers worldfamous La Salette blend called the Trio Amici. The Blue Victorian is where you can actually enter into the dramatic Barrel Room with 40foot ceilings and large rustic timbers tied together with artistic iron works. This is where you can see and taste this blend being created right from the barrels. The original first-generation La Salette that has won so much acclaim is sold half of a mile down the road at the Vezr Familys other tasting room, located in the tiny little village of Mankas Corner. This little village was originally founded by a 49er mining family and carries its namesake. Mankas Corner existed as a stagecoach overnight stop and Pony Express station until the late 1800s. After purchasing the entire village nearly 160 years later, the Vezers established it as a European wine oasis: a beautiful deli, restaurant, concert gardens and stone winery with tasting room. You will soon find that Vezr makes some of Californias finest wines, and the tasting rooms are ran by professional Sommeliers that can answer almost any wine questions you may have. However, with all this said the Vezrs maintain a No Snobs policy, so all of their customers feel so happily welcomed and appreciated. Come visit the Vezrs theres a good chance one of the family members will be working the day you visit and they would love to give you a personal tour. Also try their double gold Cabs, Zinfandels, Petite Sirahs and Verdelhos.

Sutter Home Winery

Theres No Place Like (Sutter) Home!
By Sue Straight, The Wine Wench
If you are visiting the Napa Valley, you really should check out Sutter Home Family Vineyards. Yes, they produce lots of White Zinfandel and yes, their wines are widely available, but this place is just so darned cool! The visitors center, housed in the original winery, was built in 1874. It is a Victorian farmhouse, which is surrounded by a riot of colorful flowers in the front and an impressive rose garden off to the side. Something is always blooming here! Sutter Home has one of the best gift shops Ive ever seen at a winery. It is a shoppers paradise! Along with the requisite logo T-shirts and hats, there is a spectacular array of merchandise, including glassware, books, picnic supplies, mustards, oils and dipping sauces (many of which are available to taste), and lots more. The main tasting bar is very long and spans one side of the primary tasting room. There is an additional tasting room in the back, designated especially for large groups and an adjoining tasting room for Main Street, Sutter Homes additional winery. Main Street specializes in dry wines and Sutter Home specializes in sweeter wines. There is something for everyone at this visitors center! The focus at this visitors center is on friendly hospitality. The staff really enjoys gently educating their visitors about all things wine, with Sutter Home and Main Street wines in particular. Ill tell you first-hand, they are really nice folks! Heres something else the wine and food tasting is complimentary here, which is almost unheard of in the Napa Valley. I tasted a couple of wines during my visit and they were really good, and reasonably priced, too! Here it goes 2009 Reserve White Zinfandel, $10: Mouthwatering aromas of strawberry, cherry, vanilla and green herbs continue as flavors in the bright, zippy mouth. It is off dry and balanced, with a long, juicy finish. This is a really nice White Zinfandel! 2009 Zinfandel, Amador County, $18: Aromas and flavors of dried plum, blackberry and peppery spice play nicely together from the first sniff all the way through to the finish. This wine is very easy to drink! Sutter Home also offers a selection of Fre alcohol removed wines for those who enjoy the flavor of wine, without the alcohol. Ive tried a few of the Fre alcohol removed wines in the past and they are actually pretty good! Again, there is something for everyone here at Sutter Home! Sutter Home is very involved with breast cancer research. They have a program called Sutter Home For Hope. Since 2001, Sutter Home for Hope has helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for breast cancer research, treatment and education. They say Every capsule counts until theres a cure. Anyone can participate simply collect your capsules from any Sutter Home wine and send them in between August 1, 2011, through December 31, 2011 and Sutter Home will donate $1 per capsule towards finding a cure. To find out more about this wonderful program, visit www.sutterhomeforhope.com. Build a Better Burger and get the chance to win $100,000! Sutter Home is having a contest to see who can build the best burger. You may enter the competition or browse more than 5000 fantastic recipes by going to www.buildabetterburger.com. How cool is that? The contest is not open to residents of California or Puerto Rico. Sutter Home Family Vineyards is located at 277 St. Helena Hwy, St. Helena. The visitors center is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. For more information, call 1-800-9674663 or visit www.sutterhome.com. Tell them The Wine Wench sent you!

Charles Krug/ Peter Mondavi Winery Celebrates 150th Anniversary at Tasting on the Lawn, September 10
On Saturday, September 10, Charles Krug Winery and the Peter Mondavi Sr. Family will toast the seasons grape harvest at the annual Tasting on the Lawn from 2 to 5 p.m. This years event will also celebrate a significant milestone the 150th anniversary of Napa Valleys first winery. Founded in 1861, Charles Krug represents the birthplace of the Napa Valley wine industry. The festivities will take place on the estates expansive Great Lawn in the shade of heritage oaks and surrounded by vineyards, a location unequaled by any other outdoor space in Napa Valley, and inside the estates recently restored 1881 Carriage House.
A summary of the days events:

Visitors will enjoy tastings of Charles Krugs current releases, from Sauvignon Blanc to Cabernet Sauvignon, including the winerys Limited Release and Family Reserve wines. Tastings will be paired with a moveable feast selected especially to complement the wines by Knickerbockers Catering. Three complete food and wine areas spread throughout the park-like estate will add to the festive atmosphere. In addition, chefs from several acclaimed Napa Valley restaurants will be on hand for the anniversary event, serving samples of their specialties to pair with Charles Krug wines. To add to the ambiance, actors portraying Charles Krug and his wife Carolina Bale Krug will stroll the Great Lawn in period costume, presenting vignettes from their lives 150 years ago. Two opportunities will offer a rare taste of Napa wine history that guests will get nowhere else. There will be special pourings from magnums of Charles Krugs 150th Anniversary Cabernet Sauvignon, and a rare tasting of older vintage wines from the estates cellar (additional fee applies). These premium tastings will take place in the Carriage House ballroom. The ballroom boasts a soaring cathedral ceiling and stunning period chandeliers, and was recently refinished with old-growth redwood recovered from historic wine tanks. All guests will have the opportunity to enjoy wine tasting directly from the barrels and meet members of the Peter Mondavi Family, who will be on hand to sign bottles for guests. Live music on the main stage will provide a backdrop for all of the festivities. Tastings on the Lawn were started in 1951 as an enjoyable venue where the family could meet their customers, and educate visitors about fine wine; in the United States at that time, the wine industry was known more for jug wines and not varietal wines. This Charles Krug tradition is believed to have been the first wine celebration of its kind, and went on to inspire myriad other wine country tasting events. Lawn chairs, picnic blankets and straw hats are encouraged for the September 10 event. Tickets are available online ($40 before August 1) at www.charleskrug.com. As always, admission for members of the wine club is complimentary, by calling Wine Club Manager Colin Wright at 1-888-747-5784, preferably by August 1.

by Alexandra Charsley
Ooh, Yountville. As my dear friend says, We should spend an entire weekend just eating and discovering all the great spots in Yountville, and I couldnt agree more! V Marketplace is located on Washington Street which is also home to many Michelin star and Bib Gourmand rated restaurants. It is neatly tucked away with beautifully manicured gardens including a fountain. The grounds are lush and perfect for relaxing or picnicking. Formerly the Groezinger Winery, and once known as Vintage 1870, the V Marketplace complex was originally built in the year 1870 by German-born vintner Gottlieb Groezinger. Since opening in 1968, V Marketplace has distinguished itself as Napa Valleys landmark icon of shopping, entertainment and special events.

RAS Galleries
Even owner Ronda Schaer could not have envisioned that her affection for the little village of Yountville would someday blossom into a full-blown love affair. This is a town that you can get your arms around. Twenty years ago she did just that. With the opening of her now famous art gallery, RAS Galleries, Ronda has embraced her community and graced it with one of its most successful and admired businesses. It was her passion for art, and glass in particular, that moved Ms. Schaer to open a gallery. I have always been drawn to glass. But it was the work of American glass artists that really captured her heart. Representing more than two hundred American artists, the gallery has become one of the premiere venues in which to experience the drama, imagery and vision of this artistic medium. The gallery also features the work of some extremely gifted fine artists, with original oil paintings from artists throughout California and the Pacific Northwest, as well as the Eastern Seaboard and point in between. The whimsical chefs of ceramic artist, Cynthia Hipkiss are also a favorite of collectors. Says Ronda, I created RAsgalleries with a YOUNT MILL RD singular focus on Original American Art, primarily Art Glass, my personal passion.
S WA HIN
And Im proud that after twenty years in the same Yountville, Napa Valley location, the passion remains. RASgalleries is located at 6540 Washington Street, next to Bouchon in Yountville and is open daily from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., Tuesday by appointment. Phone (707) 9449211.

In its 37 years of showcasing the abundance of harvest and Sonoma Countys passion for world-class wines and the people who make them, the Harvest Fair has entertained, educated, and just plain delighted hundreds of thousands of people from Northern California, and around the globe. And for 2011, the fairs board has retooled key elements to enliven the festivities and give people even more reason to gather with friends at this premier event. Sonoma County Vintners. The new Wine Awards celebration creates an opportunity to honor our winemakers and growers, and salute their hard work and contributions to our community.
Unsurpassed Quality
The Harvest Fair is the largest regional wine competition in the United States, and celebrates Sonoma Countys heritage as a worldrenowned agricultural and wine-producing region. According to Comfort, Its the only event in California with a professional competition solely for the regions wines, judged by an international panel of experts. The three-day schedule is bursting with exciting activities for all ages. Along with the events mentioned above, there will be farm and harvest Ag-tivities for children and adults, wine seminars, chef demonstrations, microbrew tasting (Saturday only), continuous live jazz, an art show and sale, a kiddie carnival area, exhibitors hall, puppet show, farm animals, a bee-keeping display, apple tasting, and much more.

For information on how to purchase tickets for the Harvest Fair, visit www.harvestfair.org, or call (707) 545-4203.
An Evening of Sonoma Countys Most Inspired Food and Wine

Among the major innovations is a new Grand Tasting event on Friday, September 30. Attendees will be first to partake in the medalwinning wines and cuisine. Theyll also get to mingle with key winery and restaurant representatives (often owners, winemakers, chefs, and other top positions), and hear insiders stories about ingredients, philosophies and inspiration. Over the years, the board of directors of the Sonoma County Harvest Fair has been listening to how Sonoma County wants to celebrate the abundance of our harvest, and the changes weve instituted reflect the wonderful input weve received, said Marie Gewirtz, president of the Sonoma County Harvest Fair Board. The Grand Tasting is 5:30 to 8 p.m. on opening day of the threeday Harvest Fair. Tickets are $60 in advance, $70 at the door (or $50 each when purchased in blocks of 10 or more), and include unlimited tastings of the award-winning wines and cuisine, as well as entrance to the Harvest Fair that day. September 30 through October 2, the Sonoma County Harvest Fair gives locals and visitors alike an opportunity to immerse themselves in Sonoma Countys rich agricultural roots and traditions. Traditional Harvest Fair favorites include the professionally judged wine competition, abundant tastings of beloved varietals, a competition among gifted local food producers and purveyors, the wildly popular World Championship Grape Stomp and many other familyfriendly, farm-oriented activities and exhibits. The Harvest Fair celebrates the diversity and unparalleled quality of the wines, food, and cuisine that define Sonoma County. This new Grand Tasting is a chance to sample all in one place the very best of what the county has to offer at a newly designed event that will serve as the kickoff to this years fair, said Gewirtz.
Honoring Those Who Turn Rich Soils to Heavenly Wines

Also new to the 2011 Harvest Fair will be the Sonoma County Wine Awards, a wine industry event celebrating the areas best of the best. Unfolding September 24, it will culminate three days of judging of more than 1,000 wines by 25 judges from throughout the United States and Asia. Industry representatives will announce the sweepstakes winners. This really is an evening for recognizing Sonoma Countys worldclass wines and the people who make them, said Honore Comfort, also a member of the Harvest Fair Board and executive director of the

Tasting Room of the Week:
Chateau St. Jean

by Brendon Conroy
Chateau St. Jean is a vision of both elegance and sophistication that is difficult to rival. Wander through the blossoming garden courtyard replete with illuminating foliage that will leave the viewer breathless. As one relaxes on the patio on a bright, glistening day, the true majesty of Sonoma Valley becomes apparent. Rows and rows of vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see which are juxtaposed against the statuesque mountains in the distance. Feel free to picnic with both friends and family in the park-like setting outside the garden. Chateau St. Jean has all that one would need for a superb dining experience. The gift shop contains a fully stocked charcuterie, quality local cheeses and various other food items that are specifically designed to make the tasting room experience ideal. One specific reason that Chateau St. Jean stands out from other wineries in the valley is the fact that one has the option of being served the various wine tasting flights on the outside patio. Imagine sipping premier wines under the shade of an umbrella while basking in one the most gorgeous estates in Kenwood. This option is perfect for a gathering of a small group of friends or even set a table for two that is sure to make an impact. Invest in your tasting room experience by choosing an outside pouring and embark upon a wine tasting experience that will linger in ones memories. The estate grown 2009 Viognier is an ideal summer wine. Sip, savor and share with loved ones on the front patio. It embodies the quiet, aesthetic beauty represented in the vineyards from which it stemmed. Notes of pineapple, guava and star fruit permeate the nose as a symphony of tropical paradise. The overall dry mouth feel is an optimal representation of the varietal itself while at the same time still remaining distinctly unique. For a truly decadent meal, pair this wine with a food that will complement its ample amount of acidity such as pumpkin pasta or a lobster bisque. The Cinq Cpages is Chateau St. Jeans most well-known and prestigious wine. The nationally recognized Bordeaux blend has over time taken the nation by storm. The 2007 vintage easily lives up to its elite heritage. The front palate imparts notes of plush blackberry melded together with rich tobacco resulting in an explosive cornucopia of flavor. As one savors the velvety mouth feel, hints of violet fill the air. Dark fruit exemplify the end palate with aspects of cappuccino and chewy blueberry as the finale to a sublime concoction. Chateau St. Jean is located at 8555 Sonoma Highway in Kenwood and are open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, phone (707) 833-4134, go on online to www.chateaustjean.com or like it on Facebook at www.facebook.com/#!/chateaustjean.

St. Francis Winerys 2nd Annual Stars Under the Stars Film Festival Pairs Silver Screen Icons with Stellar Wines al Fresco
Sonoma County pioneer, St. Francis Winery & Vineyards, expands its 2nd annual Stars Under the Stars outdoor film festival this year to six weeks and six classic films. Curated by celebrity sommelier and film aficionado Christopher Sawyer, the festival takes place every Thursday at the winery from July 14 to August 18. Christopher Sawyer and St. Francis Winery CEO and President Christopher Silva will host a short discussion of the evenings film and suggested wine pairing before each screening. Great movies and elegant wines, asserts Silva, transport us to another place and time all the more so under the sky and the stars on a summer night in Sonoma. Big Night opens this years festival on Thursday, July 14. Winner of the 1997 Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay, Big Night tells the story of two Italian immigrants who open a restaurant on the New Jersey Shore in search of the American dream. Memorable for such lines as To eat good food is to be close to God, the movie revolves around preparations for a magnificent feast intended to save their failing restaurant. Academy Award winner Moonstruck, starring Cher and Nicholas Cage, screens Thursday, July 21. This intoxicating 1987 romantic comedy won three Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay, Best

Tasting Room of the Week:
Vine Hill Winery

by Fred Gillaspy
If youre passionate about wines from the Santa Cruz Mountains wine growing region wines that showcase the deep-rooted attributes of terroir and diversity of flavors so typical of the area, theres no more fitting destination to discover local Pinot Noir, Syrah and Chardonnay than Vine Hill Winery. When visiting Vine Hill, not only will you have the opportunity to experience a warm welcome and an enchanting and friendly ambience from the moment you enter, youll also be offered a stellar list of exceptional wines to taste, savor and purchase. Vine Hill Winerys heritage traces back to 1867, shortly after the end of the Civil War, when brothers John and George Jarvis established the Vine Hill District an area of the Santa Cruz Mountains that what would not only retain its viticultural significance and importance for 156 years to follow, but eventually grow to be known as one of the most renowned locales for growing exceptional Pinot Noir in Northern California. Drawing its name from the original district, todays Vine Hill Winery and CCOF certified estate vineyards are situated high on a ridge, boasting breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains blanketed by coastal redwoods, with beautiful Monterey Bay glistening in the distance below. Vine Hill is home to three distinct and award winning labels Cumbre, Vine Hill and Gatos Locos. Cumbre is dedicated to the production of the winerys organically farmed estate wines, including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah, as well as single vineyard wines from select Santa Cruz Mountains vineyards. Vine Hill wines are handcrafted and blended to capture the essence of the Santa Cruz Mountains terroir for Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah. Gatos Locos is the original label that winery owner, Nick Guerrero created when making home wines in the 1990s. Gatos Locos wines are fun loving and easy going, and include varietals such as Zinfandel, Syrah and Chardonnay. An excellent way to easily enjoy all of these Vine Hill wines is to become a member of the Vine Hill Wine Club. When you join, youll have the option of choosing from a selection of shipment levels and varietal options with no membership fees along with a cornucopia of benefits including 20% off all wine purchases; 15% off facility rentals for private events; first access to new and limited wine releases; complimentary wine tasting for you and up to three guests; and a quarterly newsletter. Youll also be informed of upcoming public events and receive exclusive invitations to wine club members-only events club members recently were invited to participate in an educational wine blending class at the winery with winemaker Sal Godinez. Public events at Vine Hill each year include the upcoming Wine & Music Fall Festival in September; the Valentines Day wine and chocolate event in February; the annual Vintners Festival in early June; and all four SCMWA Passport Saturdays. Vine Hill opens its gates at the winery and vineyards for wine tasting on the third weekend of every month, Saturday and Sunday, from noon to 5 p.m. Late this summer, Vine Hill will proudly unveil its new tasting room in Santa Cruzs bustling Westside.
