intelligence for the Wine conSUMer by Len Napolitano
Which wines are compatible with a wide variety of foods?

This question arises often when I am out to dinner with a group of people. I am asked to pick a wine for the table that will satisfy everyone. This is almost impossible, not only because each person has their own preference for wine, but each will order his or her own dinner independent of the others, which will invariably result in a wide variety of foods on the table. The problem therefore becomes how to satisfy as many people as possible with one wine selection. Depending on the number of people at the table, one way to approach the task is to order both a white and a red wine. This is always my first choice when dining with more four or more people. The wines I like to select on these occasions are light-bodied whites and medium-bodied reds. For white, I find Sauvignon Blanc to be very versatile with almost all fish, vegetarian and chicken dishes. This wine typically has a crisp, refreshing feel and doesnt dominate food flavors. People who say they will only drink white wines will pretty much always feel comfortable with a Sauvignon Blanc. With the red wine selection for a group there are two roads I can take, depending on the style of restaurant were in. If meat and game dishes and other big, flavorful meals dominate the menu, I like to make the red choice a blended wine. This could be one of many different blends that are popular today, such as Cabernet Sauvignon combined with Merlot, Cabernet with Shiraz, or Cabernet with Sangiovese. These wines combine richness of flavor with a smoothness that will appeal to many red wine drinkers. If, however, the menu is mostly middle-of-the-road style with pastas, chicken, light sauces and salads, I will usually select a Pinot Noir. This wine is probably the most versatile of all reds, and will usually appeal to both red and white wine lovers. When dining in French restaurants, you can call out for a red Burgundy and know you will get a Pinot Noir. When you are unsure of which wine to order with a large group, these suggestions will help your odds of pleasing the most people. In a quality restaurant, there is usually a wine expert on hand who can make suggestions, and you should feel free to take advantage of their knowledge of the menu and their wines that pair best with it.

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).

Prager Winery and Port Works

Honoring a Different Winemaking Tradition in Napas St. Helena
by Josh Stein
Napa is world-known for its winemakers, who have managed through several generations hard work and research to produce still, dry wines of an astounding array of flavor profiles. However, almost no one has turned those techniques to producing the same kind of range of sweet wines except for the Prager family, that is, who have used that same winemakers eye for detail but applied it in a different fashion, honoring the tradition of long-lived, long-aging, always-representative-of-the-vintage Port wines. And not just with one or two. How about six, ranging from dry to off-dry to sweet. Ask anyone you come into contact with about sweet wines in Napa, and almost to a person, theyll point you to the three generations of Jim Pragers family who have been making wine in St. Helena for more than three decades. Jim himself was raised in Orange County back when it was obvious how agriculture produced its eponymous name. He and wife Imogene first found the Napa Valley when a wine and food society to which they belonged visited in 1974. They fell in love with the Valley and relocated, harvesting and then crushing their first grapes in 1979 in an 1865-built carriage house on their property in south St. Helena. Their first releases were Cabernet, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, and the Noble Companion Cabernet Port all 120 cases of it. Over the next three decades, the production has increased commensurate with the Pragers expansion of their offerings such that now available are three table wines and six Ports, presenting the full array of whats possible with this winemaking philosophy, though each is no more than about eight hundred cases of production. The long-aging Royal Escort Port (and, only released in special years, Royal Escort Vintage Port) is made from Petite Sirah; and the Noble Companion Tawny Port, aged in oak for a decade or more, is ready for drinking right away. The Tomas Port is made from the Portuguese varietals Tinto Cao, Touriga and Tinta Roriz, which are almost never seen in California. Going even further into rare production territory, the Aria White Port is made from Chardonnay, and the Alyssa Golden Dry Port you read that right is made from the white Verdelho grape. The still wines are equally out of the ordinary: Petite Sirah and two late-harvest Rieslings, the fruity and crisp Sweet Claire and the lightly fortified Madeline. Also available are three vinegars Balsamic, Cabernet and Port chocolate Port drizzle, Port-filled chocolates and Imogenes sweet and savory caramelized walnuts and pecans. If it can be done with the fortification process or if it can incorporate its end product, youll probably only find it at the Winery and Port Works. The goal is always to show how Port goes with anything. Concurrent with the growth of the winerys offerings has been the inclusion of the six members of the familys next generation, who have taken over the daily operations from their parents and in-laws. Peter graduated from CSU Fresno and is winemaker, his brother Jeff acts as General Manager and their brother John coordinates sales and distribution. Sister Mary coordinates events and the wine club and her husband, Richard, is the Cellar Master, working closely with Peter on production. Sister Katie is CFO everything has to pass muster with her before it proceeds and waiting in the wings are twenty-two grandkids, guaranteeing the winerys success well into the future. And that sense of a family working in concert together pervades everything about the winery and its products. Indeed, pulling into the slightly hidden dirt lane, one doesnt know quite what to expect. What youll find is tucked away past a garden representative of the Valleys bounty and through the barrel cellar redolent with the

winerys efforts. The tasting room is rustic but casual, reflective of an older, more agricultural sense of the Valley. As you might imagine, discussion of the Port-making process often takes place, but in a truly relaxed manner befitting a long-successful family-run winery. I dont want to give everything away, but several totally unique tasting room displays await visitors, as does explanation of the fortification process and how and why the Pragers produce the least sweet Ports in California. Believe it or not, its possible to produce dry and offdry Ports, but you have to visit the winery to find out the secrets of this process from the makers themselves. Its probably not a surprise by now, but the Pragers also make available something else fairly unique: they provide custom etched and sand-carved bottles of their releases. There are often a few of these kinds of items in different places around the Valley, but almost no one else can provide them to order for any special event or occasion. Its just another side-benefit of working with a family business, where even single-bottle requests can easily be handled. In the same vein, for those wanting an innercircle experience, the Prager Port Club offers access to everything the winery makes at a discount, biannual wine shipments without an enrollment fee, and invitations to exclusive events at the winery, like the annual lobster feed. Its impressive to see what one family has produced through their combined efforts, and its a privilege to have access the products of their labors. Come up to Prager Winery and Port Works in St. Helena to see for yourself. As they say around the winery, Step off the beaten path. Trust me, you wont be sorry when you do.

Savor the Day at Savour Saint Helena

Come Meet Saint Helenas Very Own Co-Op Tasting Room
Introducing, for your sipping pleasure, Savour Saint Helena, your new favorite tasting room.
Whether you are looking for the new up and coming winery, a wine you cant find anywhere else, or just a place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine before dinner, Savour Saint Helena has all your bases covered. The brain child of Ron Fenolio and Dejan Nikitovic, Savour Saint Helena was created to give the public a chance to find and taste some of the Napa Valleys best small production wines in one convenient place. At the same time Savour Saint Helena offers these small production wineries the chance to get their wines directly in front of the wine drinking public. Stationed in the former home of Tesoro and the Napa Soap Company, Savour Saint Helena has a spacious, airy feel. Warm inviting colors mixed with eclectic, modern decor and a funky twist gives the tasting room a fun, and approachable atmosphere. Inside you will find wines from the likes of Veedercrest Estates, Terroir Napa Valley, Richard Partridge, Spotted Owl Vineyards, Houdini and Aret Wines, with more to come.

Others are brand spanking new like Dejan Nikitovics Aret Wines which was born in 2009 from his passion for wine and prompted a move from Los Angeles to Napa. Terroir Napa Valley, made by Saint Helena local Craig Handly, has been around since 1984. Craig also makes the wine for Houdini, owned by Tim Dean, and focuses on Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay with the occasional foray into other varietals. Another Saint Helena local, Richard Partridge, produces Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, bearing his name. Richard is also a California Certified Organic farmer and is currently working on a plan to plant truffle inoculated trees on his Saint Helena estate.

Perfect Pairs
Who doesnt love picnics? Whether its a trip to the beach, an evening at the Farmers Market or just a lazy afternoon on your own patio, wine always plays an essential part. With these long summer evenings, Im always looking for something a little different to bring out and the 2009 HKG Estate Pinot Ros is perfect. Ros wine is light, fun and exciting to drink, and I love opening the bottle with that distinct soft red hue that has everyone wondering what you are drinking. This recipe is from Khambay Khamsyvoravong, HKG Estate Tasting Room Chef de Cuisine who knows how to perfectly pair foods with the HKG Estate varietals. HKG Estate wines are the ultra-premium wines
BY ALEXANDRA CHARSLEY
Seared Ahi Tuna with Calabrian Chili Aioli Paired with HKG Estate 2009 Pinot Ros
produced by Hop Kiln Winery from all estate grown grapes in the Russian River Valley. The 2009 HKG Estate Pinot Ros is a perfect match for the seared tuna as this dry style Ros highlights the Calabrian chili spice while the fattiness of the dish keeps the wines tannins in check. Slightly sweet with a hint of strawberry and tropical guava characters, the Ros pairs well with the flavors of ripe summer squash. This seared tuna recipe is quick, easy and so tasty. The squash brought nice vibrant colors to the plate but also made the dish feel light so it is ideal for summer dining while the wine retains its bright acidity and finishes crisp, dry and refreshing. The HKG Estate Tasting Room in Glen Ellen offers a selection of current wines produced by Hop Kilns talented young winemaker, Chuck Mansfield. If you would like to enjoy this pairing, the tasting room is open Thursday through Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Reservations are recommended and can be made by calling (707) 938-7622. They also have a new summer menu featuring both savory and sweet pairings showcasing the seasonal produce from Sonoma. As if all this wasnt enough, there is a wonderful display case containing their decadent desserts and pies that can be enjoyed with a glass of wine or taken away. With all of these delicious treats, you will not want to miss out on such an enjoyable experience.

Sterling Vineyards Presents Sterling Silver Screen Series

Summer Movie Series Benefits Napa Valley Family Centers
Sterling Vineyards, the landmark Calistoga winery, announces the ninth annual Sterling Silver Screen Series. Once again, through the generosity of NBC Universal, the 2011 summer season of movies in the vineyards will feature classic and neo-classic films in a range of genres from the Universal archives. All proceeds from the summer screenings will benefit two local non profits; the Calistoga Family Center and the St. Helena Family Centers. To date, the Sterling Silver Screen program has raised more than $120,000 for local charities. The next Sterling Silver Screenings features the Marx Brothers in Monkey Business on Saturday, August 20. Made in 1931, this classic comic favorite was the boys first Hollywood feature and stars Groucho, Zeppo, Harpo and Chico as stowaways on an ocean liner. Hilarious antics ensue as they encounter gangsters and true love while avoiding capture by the crew. Seabiscuit, on Saturday, September 10, is the true story of the Depression-era racehorse that, despite his small stature and a slight limp, became an unlikely track champion and symbol of hope for a generation of Americans. Seabiscuit united his owner, trainer, jockey and an entire nation and proved that heart and tenacity can triumph against all odds. The season concludes on Saturday, October 1 with Saboteur, a 1942 Hitchcock thriller. When sabotage destroys part of an aircraft factory, plant worker Barry Kane is accused of the crime. In an attempt to clear his name, he sets out to track down the man he believes to be the actual saboteur. The two men confront each other in a memorable showdown atop the Statue of Liberty. A precursor to North by Northwest and The Fugitive, the Saboteur screenplay was written by the legendary Dorothy Parker. The Sterling Silver Screen Series is very popular with Valley residents said Mark Mathewson, Sterling Vineyards Visitors Center Manager. Remarkably, we have fans that plan their summer getaways around our screening schedule. Bring your friends and family to Sterling, watch a great movie over a glass of wine and benefit two local causes. Each screening offers wine tasting and festival seating on the Sterling Vineyard Meadow at Sterling Vineyards, 1111 Dunaweal Lane in Calistoga. All Sterling Silver Screen films are suitable for informed family viewing; however, parents are suggested to review MPAA advisories online in advance of attendance - and note that some films are not rated. The grounds open at 7 p.m. and guests are encouraged to arrive early, dress in layers and bring a blanket or low backed beach chairs to sit on. A pre-show of classic cartoons, followed by the feature presentation, begins at dusk. Admission tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children (under 16). All proceeds from tickets sales and a percentage of wine sales benefit the non-profit Stars & Vines Fund. More information is available online at www.sterlingvineyards.com, or by calling (707) 942-3322.

Benefits of Joining the Vezer Family Vineyard Wine Club
As Frank Vezer says with great pride, The 2006 and 2007 vintages of Vezer Cabs and Zins rock the house. In the last 18 months, both in the major national and international competitions, Vezer has won gold, double gold and tied for Best in Class for North Central Coast Appellation. Only some of the finest restaurants and wine shops in the country carry Vezer, and only by special arrangement. The wines range from $50 to $100 retail, but wine club members get a great discount and a guaranteed of allocations. If you try to get this wine anywhere else if you can even find it you can expect to pay close, to or more than, $200 per bottle. The winery has discovered that when people join they do not let their membership go. In fact, Vezer has one of the highest club retentions of all time. There are many reasons to join other than the award-winning wine shipments and the benefits that give you VIP status and recognition. Theres ambiance that you simply cannot get anywhere else, free tastings for up to four to six people, a private tasting room and club room onsite, ATV tours, free wine club pick-up parties with live music, exceptional food and wine served right from the barrels. Winter pick-up parties are usually barrel burning events, roasting linguica, Hungarian Paprika Bacon and sausages from all over the world, accompanied by hearty Zins, some seductive Cabernets, Petite Sirah and Barrel Room Select Blends. And try roasting smores over the open fire while tasting some of the finest white and ruby Ports. At the spring and summer pick-up parties there are outdoor movies, barbecues and live music in the gardens, either at the Private Ranch or the small Western Village of Mankas Corner. (The Vezers bought Mankas Corner, in its entirety, several years back and renovated into a European-style oasis. Here you feel like you were on the set with Russell Crowe in the movie A Good Year.) Throughout the year there are special concerts and formal dinners at the winery and at the private ranch. Just imagine one of Americas greatest tenors starting with the ballet Besame Mucho as the light slowly turns its focus on the star standing in the middle of the vineyard, secluded in a private mile-long valley owned by the Vezers, then all the sudden this beautiful blond in a cobalt blue gown starts on the hillside nearby with an instrumental solo with her electric violin that simply resonates throughout the valley. Just as the sommelier pours you a wine right from a magnum of one of Vezers private reserves, all while enjoying wild boar, Moroccan chicken or filet mignon. As owner Frank Vezer says, It is truly the opportunity of a lifetime, and it is here for you to enjoy! The wine club, due to the limited production and quaint private settings is anticipated to be capped at 1,000 members. The Club consists of 250 spots for Chieftains VIP Chairmens, and 750 Elite members and these two quotas are quickly filling up. Stop by and visit the Vezers and join either club at the tasting room or you can even join online at www.vezerfamilyvineyard.com.

Judds Hill MicroCrush

True wine enthusiasts never tire in their quest for undiscovered wineries and wine experiences.
For those looking to take that love of wine to the next level and create their own wine theres Judds Hill MicroCrush, right in the heart of Napa Valley. Named as the place to custom crush your wine in Napa Valley, by Food and Wine magazine, Judds Hill was started by the Finkelstein family, who began their own winemaking story in the early 70s, as real life garagistes. Their first production area was their garage in a canyon in Southern California and it was there they first learned about handcrafted wines in the purest sense. In 1979, they purchased a ranch just south of St. Helena, Napa Valley and began growing grapes and making wine for real. Art and Bunnie Finkelstein built Whitehall Lane Winery, made some pretty great wines there, and sold it several years later. Soon, Art and Bunnie, along with son, Judd and daughter-in-law, Holly, began crafting small lots of ultra-premium Napa Valley wine from their estate vineyard under the Judds Hill label. In the early 90s, they pioneered MicroCrush to give grape growers and wine enthusiasts the chance to make their own custom handcrafted wine. Today, that facility is state-of-the-art, but the garagiste spirit is alive and well. For wine lovers of all levels, here is a real chance to learn and experience what being a winemaker is truly like from the folks that coined the term MicroCrush more than 20 years ago. Youll work closely with the Judds Hill winemaking team, choosing all the components (from fruit to labels, barrels and bottles even) that reflect your own expression of wine. At Judds Hill, theyll help steer you through the entire process from grape to glass and educate you as you go. What could possibly be more fun? Feeling part artist and part Ad Man? Work with their design team to create your very own wine label and dabble in both. And dont miss the blending either here is where wizardry, art and science all come together and where you are the one creating the alchemy-ina-bottle. At Judds Hill MicroCrush, put your stamp on your own wine. For more information, or to experience MicroCrush on your own, contact: Judds Hill Winery at 2332 Silverado Trail, Napa. For more information, call (707) 255-2332 or email info@napamicrocrush.com.

ZD Wines
Fine Wines & Giving Back to the Teens in Napa Valley
By Abigail Zimmerman
In 1969, Sonoma County issued a winery permit to two enthusiastic entrepreneurs in pursuit of Pinot and Chardonnay. It was the first time in almost 20 years that Sonoma issued a winery permit. Sonoma County picked wisely. Norman deLeuze and partner Gino Zepponi the ZD in ZD Wines were two aerospace engineers with a penchant for making Burgundian varietals of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This new winery permit would alter the lives of both men and their families forever. Pooling resources, Norman, Gino and Rosa Lee (Normans wife) rented a small farm building in the Carneros region. They purchased wine grapes, some 50-gallon oak barrels and a redwood vat. Three hundred cases of Pinot Noir and a small batch of White Riesling represented ZDs first commercial vintage in 1969. The rest, they say, is history. ZD Wines is still a family run operation; Julie, Brett and Robert deLeuze have taken the torch from their parents and have further grown this premiere Napa Valley winery. At ZD Wines, a commitment to family is equal to their commitment to sustainably grown and produced wines. Before there was green or eco or organic, there were Norman and Gino out in their vineyards in what is now known as Carneros. This was 1969 and they were still hobbyists. But these visionaries shared a passion for the earth and healthy farming. Today, some 40 years later, ZD estate vines are still farmed 100% organically. Their winery is 100% solar run and they recycle all of their wastewater with an aerobic digester and a reclamation system. (Pause for applause.) Family and responsible winemaking are vital to the ZD Wines family as is giving back to the Napa Valley community that has nurtured and sustained their dream for so many years. Which is why this month on Saturday, August 20th from noon to 4 p.m., ZD Wines will be hosting the ZD Summer Wine Celebration specifically benefiting the Napa Boys & Girls Club Teen Center. ZD family and staff will be pairing current and new releases with
Reopening of the Napa Valley Boys & Girls Club Teen Center
ZD Wines Family
foods cooked personally by the deLeuze family. Founder and matriarch Rosa Lee, uncles and aunts, children as well as grandchildren are already paired off and wickedly competitive about which foods will be the most popular. You be the judge! Already on the lineup will be the fresh Ceviche with the Rosa Lee Pinot Grigio, Mushroom Crostini with Pinot Noir, and Dry Rubbed Grilled Baby Back Ribs paired with the Barbera And thats just the start of it. Live music will be provided by Marketing Director Scott Ferguson and his band, The Staves. They will be performing groovy rock and roll, says Scott with a grin. Entirely 100% of all ticket sales and silent auction proceeds will go to the Napa Boys & Girls Club Teen Center. The Center has been a dear cause for the ZD Wines family. Granddaughter and ZD California Sales representative, Jill deLeuze was their Program Director in 2008 (before joining the family business) and felt first hand the heartache of program planning for at-risk youth with little or no funds. So in 2010, the family contributed $100,000 to overhaul the basement Teen Center on Pueblo Avenue. The funds purchased everything from new floors and walls to furniture, computers, electronics and even healthy snacks delivered fresh every Monday by a ZD family member. This years event will allow ZD Wines to continue their support and funding of the Teen Center. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. In terms of vino, do not miss two wines at this Celebration! First is the 2010 Rosa Lee Pinot Grigio ($22). Produced from the lusciously grayish-pink clusters grown here in Carneros, this Pinot Grigio is mouth-watering with ripe peach, apricot, honeysuckle and pineapple. Perfect for summer. Second is the 2009 Rosa Lee Barbera ($25). Harvested from the Twin Creeks Vineyard in Wooden Valley, this Napa Valley Barbera expresses supple tannins and bright acidity. Bold flavors of red tree fruit and hints of cedar, spice and vanilla will pair well with any pizza or tomato sauce dish. Both wines do not see any distribution. The ZD Pinot Grigio and Barbera are available only at the winery itself or from the website Two gems waiting to be discovered!

Search for Oldest Charles Krug Wine Bottle Announced

Bottle to be part of history exhibit at Napa Valleys first winery
In time for the 150th anniversary of Napa Valleys first winery, the Peter Mondavi Sr. Family announces a search for the oldest Charles Krug Winery bottle in existence. Founded in 1861, Charles Krug Winery is the birthplace of the Napa Valley wine industry and has been in the Peter Mondavi Family for nearly 70 of its 150 years. Peter Mondavi Jr. puts his family winerys history in perspective: Charles Krug was founded the year President Lincoln was inaugurated, and the year the Civil War began. At the time, Napa Valley was essentially the Wild West. Charles Krug first planted Mission grapes on his St. Helena estate but he soon replanted to European varietals which he felt would make better wine. Wines made at the time would have likely included claret, sherry, Madeira, sweet Tokay and Riesling, the latter hugely popular with many of the German immigrantwinemakers in Napa Valley in the late 1800s. Readers are encouraged to scour their wine cabinets, cellars, closets and caves for Charles Krug wine bottles, empty or full, dating either from pre-Prohibition or the Peter Mondavi Family era which began with the 1944 vintage. Bottles deemed contenders will be authenticated by experts in the wine department of Sothebys auction house in New York. The Peter Mondavi Family may purchase the winning bottle for display at the winery. Plans are for an exhibit of historic artifacts from Charles Krug Winery, which will include a towering 9000-gallon vintage redwood fermentation tank and Charles Krugs original basket press, which he used to crush the first harvest at his fledgling winery. The estates Redwood Cellar will house the exhibit. The huge structure with its many-gabled roof and impressive belvedere was built by Charles Krug in 1873 after his original cellar burned to the ground. On the National Register of Historic Places and a California Historic Landmark, the Redwood Cellar was restored recently to hold the Peter Mondavi Familys reserve barrel aging room. The Cellar will eventually house the winerys new tasting room and visitors center. To submit an entry, visit Charles Krug on Facebook and tell them about your bottle and post a photo, or email the story and photo to oldestbottle@charleskrug.com by December 31, 2011. Contenders for the oldest bottle will be contacted with next steps. Early entries may be displayed at our annual Tastings on the Lawn 150th Anniversary celebration on September 10. For more information about the event, visit the website at charleskrug.com. Charles Krug Winerys 150-year history traces the transformation of the Napa Valley from Wild West to wine country destination. With a legacy of nearly 70 years at Charles Krug, the Peter Mondavi Family is dedicated to ecological stewardship in order to preserve the land for their children and future generations. Those efforts to steward the land and preserve the winerys historical legacy are earning new respect for a family long identified with California wine. To learn more about Charles Krug Winery and the vision of the Peter Mondavi Family, visit their website.

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.

Sonoma County Cultivates New Events and Programs for Three-Day Harvest Fair

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.

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.

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.

Freestone Vineyards The Friendliest Tasting Room

By Charles Neave
Finding the tiny Sonoma County hamlet of Freestone isnt easy. As my great aunt Ruth would have said, it is a wide spot in the road. But like so many places, once you get there you are rewarded ten times over. Near Sebastopol, Cotati and Santa Rosa, it really isnt difficult, though your GPS will act confused. But the delight of all the things that comprise the Freestone Vineyards Guest Center one of perhaps four businesses in a town measured in square yards not square miles makes it all the more worthwhile. Owned by the Phelps family, famous for their Joseph Phelps Vineyards in Napa, they developed the vineyards in Freestone beginning with a 100-acre purchase of prime land in the Sonoma Coast AVA in 1999. Since then, they have planted individually selected clones of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that have brought about fruit suitable for the worldclass wines they decided from the very first day to make. Along the way they also built a state-ofthe art winery; a three-tiered, gravity-fed structure of a type seldom seen. Construction began in 2005 and was finished just in time for the 2007 harvest. By its design it also allowed the winemakers to handcraft the wines in the tradition of Burgundy and in small lots, giving them maximum control. It is also surrounded by additional acres of grapes, again both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, all of it is just eight miles from the Pacific Coast near Bodega Bay, making for a unique and desirable microclimate. The Phelps Family also acquired a wool store (I'll get back to that) in Freestone and began an extensive renovation of the buildings in order to one day offer wine tasting to visitors. Luckily founder Joseph Phelpss business history included a very successful construction operation in Greeley, Colorado, so that knowledge helped in countless ways. The result is a stunning country structure that was turned into one of the most intriguing spots in Northern California. The board-and-batten construction inside (done in white with wood and tile floors) and outdoors (in a barn red) all reinforce the effect. The omnipresence of Mike, the resident peacock, simply underscores the uniqueness of it all. At one time local sheep which even today far outnumber people were sheared and their wool turned into car seat covers and clothes for such retailers as Woolrich. Much of the work was done upstairs in a loft that has since been opened up to house a tasting table. In fact, most tastings are held at tables, in groupings downstairs by the copper-topped bar or in a private room. Another option is the
redwood picnic tables outside, surrounded by lavender and native plantings. These are also popular places to stake out and enjoy the winerys monthly Second Sundays events, where there is often music and such culinary pairings as Pinot & Paella or Pizza & Pinot. The wines youll taste include two favorites, the Fogdog Chardonnay, with its fruit and almond nose, and the Fogdog Pinot, a rich, earthy, full-bodied wine. If you want to appear shipworthy and knowledgeable, fogdog is a nautical term that describes the sun shining through fog. You will also taste Freestones flagship Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines, including the new 2009 Freestone Chardonnay. If that were not enough, the tasting room folks are among the friendliest you will find anywhere. Need help choosing a wine, directions, recommendations for the artisan breads at the bakery, local anecdotes? They are quick to respond, and with a wonderful, self-deprecating sense of humor. Even when they refer to Freestone as a black hole when it comes to mobile phone service. All in all, a visit to Freestone is a pure, unadulterated delight. True, it is a bit out of the way, but as the famous Michelin Guide symbol says, [It is] worth the trip. In summer Freestones Guest Center is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. no appointment necessary, though for groups of six or more you might call ahead. They are located at 12747 El Camino Bodega in Freestone. Their phone is (707) 874-1010; their website, which has directions, is www.freestonevineyards.com. They are also dog friendly.

Tasting Room of the Week:
Loxton Cellars
by Brendan Conroy
Genius physicist-turned-winemaker, Chris Loxton, nurtured his passion for wine and turned it into a local sensation. As a fourthgeneration grape grower originally from Australia, Loxton prides himself on making entirely handcrafted, quality wines without compromise. The tasting room always has a white wine, a Syrah and a Zinfandel opened for the public to enjoy as well as a few special bottles off of the menu which rotate on a weekly basis. This, in turn, creates an entirely new tasting room experience every time one attends. While at the winery, feel free to join the Boomerang Club; a wine club for those who always come back. After experiencing all that Loxton has to offer, one is sure to return. The most notable and unprecedented aspect of Loxton winery is the fact that it is one of the few wineries in Sonoma Valley that does not charge for its wine tasting flights. Loxton transports patrons back to much simpler times when wineries welcomed customers as if they were members of their own family and shared premier wines completely free of charge. Producing only 3000 cases annually, Loxton encompasses this mentality to its fullest extent. The small production assures patrons that every wine comes from only the most highly qualified grapes
Chris Loxton
which have been given precise consideration from harvest to bottle. The 2008 Barrel Select Shiraz is a delight. In homage to his Australian roots, Loxton creates his Shiraz with a light tannin structure, but bold fruit on the front palate. The bountiful mouth- feel is complimented by the fact that the wine does not have a tannic bite on the finish. Therefore, it can be savored without the threat of a harsh end. While being plush and well balanced, the Shiraz has ample spice, black pepper and cigar box that round out the middle palate. An ideal food pairing for this style of Shiraz is roast duck drizzled by a rich plum sauce. Decadence at its peak. The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon from McGraw Vineyard is very hearty. It starts with notes of cedar on the front palate cascaded by bold tannin and rich blackberry. A hint of allspice dances across the palate almost as an afterthought. The long, seemingly endless finish creates a unique tableau of both nuance and flavor. All of Loxtons wines are made to be food friendly and these two examples are excellent representations. For a truly euphoric experience, pair this wine with Beef Bourguignon. The chewiness of the meat melts in your mouth as the rich tannin structure of the wine brings out a multitude of diverse flavors. Loxton Cellars is located at 11466 Dunbar Road in Glen Ellen, open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (707) 935-7221 or go to the website at www.loxtonwines.com. For more information about Loxton winery, visit www.loxtonwines.com for special discounts and events or become a fan on Facebook of Loxton Cellars.

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 until 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. Nominated for three Academy Awards, the 1989 baseball fantasy film Field of Dreams, starring Kevin Costner, Ray Liotta and Burt Lancaster, screens on Thursday, August 11. The festival closes on Thursday, August 18, with Sideways, arguably the most influential wine movie of all time. That evening St. Francis will pay tribute to Merlot, the much maligned varietal in this Academy Award winning film. Seating begins at 7:30 p.m., followed by the screening at 8 p.m. There is no charge for attending. Wine by the glass, charcuterie, popcorn, brownies and cookies will be available for purchase. For over 35 years, St. Francis Winery in Sonoma has hand-crafted

August: Grapes are Approaching Adulthood

By Laura Ness
August brings the beginnings of ripeness to the vineyards, and depending on the vagaries of the season, red grapes will begin veraison, turning from green to various shades of purple. This will happen somewhere around the middle to the end of this typically toasty month. Winemakers are hoping they dont have to spray for mildew abatement, as the buildup of sulfur on the fruit the closer you get to harvest is not ideal. Theyre also praying that excessive heat waves can be avoided, as the slow maturation of fruit flavors is what theyre after, not a sudden run-up in sugars which can send cluster chemistry into what literally amounts to diabetic coma. While July is the month where you pull up the wires to accommodate dramatic growth, when you leaf thin for optimal sun exposure and when you pull shoots and drop non-optimal clusters, August is the month you weigh your options on fruit load. If its nice and warm, you might ride it out and keep the clusters in place. If its excessively cool, you take the chance to start dropping fruit. If you dont keep the vines balanced now, you run the risk of either never getting fruit truly ripe before the growing season wanes. Or, you face the consequences of excessive cluster dropping should a September heat wave ensue, throwing the vines into that diabetic coma we talked about earlier, combined with dehydration and heat exhaustion. Vines are people, too. There are vineyard managers who talk to each and every one of their vines, every day, making sure that every last leaf is happy and doing its proper job. Leaves are like the notes in the orchestral score: without them, there is no music. Too many, and there is no melody. Too few, and the sound is weedy and thin. The vines natural instinct is to grow like a weed, creating as many leaves as possible, pushing as many clusters as it can, in an attempt to create seeds. Seeds are, after all, what the vine is all about. Its goal is to make fruit appealing to birds and other vineyard predators, like raccoons, turkeys and deer, who will eat its seeds and roam about plopping them into the soil where hopefully they might take root. But this is the exact opposite of what the vineyard manager wants. He or she wants as few seeds as possible (there are grape varieties being developed specifically to reduce the number of seeds, and I know a grower in Livermore who is having great luck with such a Sangiovese cultivar) no birds, and no four-legged varmints. August is also the time that the bird netting goes up in earnest, and the sounds of bird bombs and cannons begin to go off in those vineyards where netting is beyond the capacity of the owner. This is a very labor-intensive effort whether you use the Australian white throwover nets or you install the green or black kind that attach to the trellising and roll up when not in use. Most netting lasts only five seasons, due to weathering and UV exposure, but you can pay a bit more for ones with a 10-year lifespan. Who said having a vineyard was cheap, or fun? Speaking of fun, we know you just wanna have fun in the summer. The Summit to Sea wineries have tasteful tattoos for girls and guys alike all month. Make sure you get one of those oh so sexy Wine Babes beauties to show off your fabulous summer tan! Grab picnic fixins from the Summit Store and head to one our beautiful mountain wineries for some summer picnic fun. Moes waiting for you to toss him a ball up at Loma Prieta: he just wants to have fun, too.

Innovative Smartphone App Brings Wine Country to Life

Eagerly embracing the wireless age, the Monterey County Vintners and Growers Association has revealed its most practical innovation yet: A nimble smartphone app that acts like a personal tour guide in Monterey Wine Country, providing maps, directions, profiles, and details on Monterey vineyards, wineries and tasting rooms for the modern wine traveler on the go. Developed by the creators of Hello Vino, the Monterey Wine Country app will cull information from the MCVGAs online Find Your Favorite database (available at www.MontereyWines.org) and is compatible with all smartphones (iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, among others). Users will be able to find vineyards and tasting rooms based on their preferences including region, varietals available for tasting and sale, and amenities such as pet-friendly grounds, food sales, or picnicking accommodations. The social networking aspect of the tool allows users to post comments and reminders on various sites, including Facebook and Twitter. The fact that wine travelers will have the flexibility and freedom to discover our region in detail from the comfort of their own mobile phone will be a boon for the wine industry here in Monterey, says Rhonda Motil, Executive Director of the Monterey County Vintners and Growers Association. We believe we are at the forefront of a new wine country culture. The ease of use of our application, and the ability to view the pinpoints of the tasting rooms on the size of a mobile screen, contributes to the practicality of this navigational tool. Benefits to Monterey Wine Country visitors are myriad: Access to an easily searchable database of real-time, member-updated information including contact details, featured varietals, tasting room hours, and GPS-integrated directions and maps. Even if you dont have your Monterey County wine map with you, as long as you have your phone, navigating Monterey Wine Country will be a breeze, says Motil. It also contributes to our Going Green initiative of sustainable and spontaneous exploration. The new smartphone app is now available for installation from iTunes (http://bit.ly/montereyiphoneapp) and directly from the MCVGA website (www.MontereyWines.org/app). For visitors and consumers, who prefer to explore Monterey Wine Country from their computer, the MCVGAs new online database tool, Find Your Favorite, provides the same useful information and detailed functionality as the app. Visit www.MontereyWines.org to make the most of your Monterey Wine Country experience.

Steven Kent Cabernets Continue to Score

Impressive Track Record of Ninety-Plus Ratings for Recent Wines
The Steven Kent Winery continues to cement its reputation as one of California's most accomplished Cabernet producers with yet another run of impressive scores for its wines. And, in the process, SKW is helping reestablish the storied history of the Livermore Valley wine-growing region. Over just the past two vintages alone, the winery has garnered eight different scores of 90 points or more from influential reviewers Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Connoisseurs Guide. The first release from the 2008 vintage to be reviewed, the Steven Kent Clone 337 Cabernet Sauvignon, received an Excellent rating of 92 points from Wine Enthusiast. This continues the strong track record of praise accorded the stellar 2007 vintage wines, with seven different releases all garnering 90 points or more. Steven Kent Mirassou commented, We started with one mission: to grow Cabernets here that rival in quality those made anywhere in the world. We have worked hard to learn our sites, to learn how our fruit best expresses itself from those sites. These recent accolades are gratifying, as they show our peers are taking notice of our efforts. The current 2007 Steven Kent portfolio has proven truly exceptional: in the winerys Premier Cabernet Collection, the 07 Clone 4 release scored 95 points in Wine Enthusiast Magazine; the Clone 337 bottling received 92 points and the Clone 30 checked-in at 90 points. Steven Kents Single Vineyard Series received the same level of approval: the 2007 Ghielmetti Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon garnered 93 points and a Cellar Selection designation from Wine Enthusiast; the Home Ranch Cabernet received 92 points in Wine Enthusiast and the limited Smith Ranch bottling received 91 points from Connoisseurs Guide. This impressive run was capped by the winerys first-ever Lineage release Steven Kents ultimate Bordeaux-style blend, which received 94 points from Wine Enthusiast and was called one of the best wines ever from Livermore Valley, by James Laube at Wine Spectator. The Steven Kent Winery is located in the historic, world-class Livermore Valley appellation. Owner / winemaker Steven Kent Mirassou, sixth-generation of Americas oldest winemaking family, specializes in crafting small lot wines based on Cabernet Sauvignon and the Bordeaux varietals conscientiously farmed on the Ghielmetti Vineyard and the winery's own estate blocks. SKW also produces Lineage, a very limited, signature Bordeaux-style blend. Located in the heart of the Livermore Valley wine country, the Steven Kent Barrel Room is open each day from noon to 4:30 p.m. For more information, call (925) 243-6440 or visit the website at www.stevenkent.com.
