intelligence for the Wine conSUMer by Len Napolitano
What are the proper conditions for storing wine?

Proper wine storage becomes an important issue when you are keeping wines for the long term. If, however, you typically drink your wines within a month or so of purchase, the storage environment is less critical, but certain basic rules should still be followed. Whether speaking of long- or short-term storage, the conditions that destroy wine are extremes in temperature and humidity. Rooms or storage areas with extreme conditions must be avoided. This means not keeping the wines in an area where the ambient temperature consistently reaches above 70 degrees or dips below 45 degrees. Ideally, and especially for long-term keeping of quality wines, the temperature range should be narrowed to 50 to 60, for both red and white wines. Failing to keep wine within these limits will either accelerate the aging (high-temperature conditions) or slow the aging (cold temperature conditions), and degrade the character and balance of the wine. In addition, wines must not be subjected to frequent wide swings in temperatures, more than 10 degrees within short periods of time. Gradual increases or decreases in temperature, such as when the seasons change, will not do any harm. A wine will also be affected somewhat by storage area humidity. The perfect level is around 75% humidity. When a wine storage room reaches around 85%, the risk of mold on corks and bottle labels is increased. Humidity levels below 50% will increase the risk of wine evaporating and oxygen entering the bottle. Remember that storing bottles on their sides will keep wine in contact with the cork and insure that it remains moist and expanded to keep a tight closure. A dry cork will become brittle, shrink and eventually allow air to get to the wine, which also will ruin the quality of the wine. If you are a relatively serious wine collector, you may want to consider a wine storage unit that works similar to a normal refrigerator. The difference is in the wine storage units precise control of a proper storage temperature and humidity, in addition to having a vibration-damping design. A normal refrigerators motor will cause vibrations that will harm very old wines that contain sediment. Wine storage units come in a wide variety of sizes and will have bottle shelves or drawers for holding as few as 24 bottles or as much as 2000 bottles, and sometimes more. In California, where basements are rare, the wine storage unit is a necessity for keeping valuable wines. If you have a basement that has fairly consistent temperature and humidity throughout the year, you have a low-cost, convenient storage facility. Always keep wines in a dark storage area, as sunlight, and to a lesser extent, fluorescent light will harm wines.

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 With the exception of Wine Garage labeled-awardwinning Cabernets, nothing in this hip hideaway is more than $25! 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 blend), 2007 Napa Valley Cabernet, 2007 Napa Valley Petite Syrah, 2008 Napa Valley Chihuahua Cabernet and 2006 Napa Valley 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).

Colette, Matthew,Lisa and Jesse
August Briggs
Doing What They Love: Unique Single-Vineyard Wines
by Josh Stein
How do you pay it forward, having yourself succeeded in the wine business by doing it your own way? Well, if youre August Joe Briggs, when you decide to move on from the wine business into some well-deserved relaxation with your wife, you do so by letting your nephew, Jesse Inman, and three key, longtime employees, Colette Milliman, Lisa Salling and Matt Gacso, buy the business. You read that right. This isnt the usual story of wineowner-retires-and-sells-to-a-corporation. No, its a very different, much more inspiring one one that shows that good things beget more good things if done the right way. The story of the winery, August Briggs, begins with the story of the man it was named by and for, Joe Briggs. Joe got his start like a lot of others in the Napa Valley: armed with a degree in enology from one of the big three in wine, Fresno State in Joes case, he started by working for others as a consulting winemaker before striking out on his own. In 1995, he produced his first wines under his own label, and in 2002, he took the leap of faith to buy the land for the winerys first location on the Silverado Trail. Joes philosophy was very simple but definitely against the mold at the time: find the best grapes in the best vineyards in Napa and Sonoma and make the best wines possible from them and not just the usual suspects, either. Joe determinedly sought out unusual but terrific varieties, making a name for his seldom-seen-elsewhere Charbono along the way. Today, these ideas, if not common, are at least well represented throughout the North Coast, but two decades ago, they most definitely were not. The belief was that unless you owned it, you couldnt make the best wine from it, and if it was not one of three or four varieties, why make it? Clearly, neither need be the case nor in the recipe for success. Joe slowly but steadily built the brand by focusing on restaurants, where his singlevineyard approach to food-friendly varietals was well received and appreciated for its cuisine-matching ability. Upon construction of the winery, this attention to producing from vineyards and varietals others did not continued, and it still hasnt stopped. Today, the winery produces 4,000 cases spread amongst sixteen different single-vineyard bottlings, including four Pinot Noirs, three Cabernet Sauvignons, two Petite Sirahs and two Chardonnays plus the renowned Charbono and bottlings of ros, Syrah and Zinfandel, as well as the ultra-rare Pinot Meunier, seldom seen except in sparkling wines. And each, as Colette is known to say when asked in the new tasting room, lets the vineyard and appellation shine through. Indeed, the new space is primed for wine tasting. Seeking to be even more in the thick of good things, this next iteration of August Briggs has placed itself in the heart of downtown Calistoga, and theyre even remaining open longer on Fridays and Saturdays to be able to have more time to spend with guests. Dont tell Joe I wrote this, but I think the vibe and location are better now since youre steps from world-class restaurants and tasting rooms no need to move the car since theres a lot going on around you. Jesse says it best, I think: Our new creekside setting, convenient location and onsite parking make it the perfect place for sharing our limited production wines. Not to mention the special space never before available for wine club members, who get first and sometimes only access to very special single-vineyard bottlings. The most important things havent changed at all, however. The original tasting room was well known for Joes or his folks pouring the wines, and this next iteration of the winery is no different. On any given day, two, three or even all four of the now-owners are on site, pouring the wines. Why change what works? In the same vein, August Briggs has been well known as a producer of excellent wines, and that legacy has continued
20
WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINERY FEATURE

no surprise since Jesse has been winemaking beside his uncle for a number years, so theyve been his wines for a while now. And theres lots to choose from, which is always the operating methodolgy of the winery: why make only a couple of bottlings when there are so many vineyards producing fantastic fruit from which to make wine? Some of the most historic of vineyards names grace the bottlings: Frediani, Leveroni, Monte Rosso, Old Vines, Page Nord and Two Moon. Trust me: there arent many better as sources of grapes, and there arent many people who get access to them. Equally, on offer are multiple bottlings of the same varietal, which really does make the tasting and education quite enjoyably different. Tasting through four different Pinot Noirs, sourced from four very diverse locations in Carneros, Napa, the Russian River and the Sonoma Coast, or three different Cabs from Dry Creek, Napa and Sonoma Valleys, is really unique even today. Since the owners are there, the passion is apparent with every pour, and since these are the folks who have been with the winery all along, they know best what has worked to keep things fun and lively. Its nice to be able to relate a true wine country dream-cometrue that happened twice. Lisa is still amazed at the huge complement Joe paid the four of them when he let them keep doing what we love, but spend some time around these folks and youll see it wasnt an accident. Come visit August Briggs yourself and taste the wide-ranging goodness the four ex-employees and now-owners are happy to share with you. Cheers to Joe Briggs for doing it the right way, and cheers to you for tasting their success. Enjoy!

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
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. The Pope Valley, one of the California wine regions hidden treasures, is home to the Pope Valley Winery. This serene, bucolic setting offers a wine tasting experience far, far away from the ostentatious fare to be found at some of the more well-known wine country destinations. Here you will be treated less like a visitor and more like a friend. To reach the Pope Valley Winery requires a leisurely country drive that is, in itself, a significant part of the experience. Winding through picturesque fields, undulating vineyards and oak-studded hills, one gets the feeling of being transported back in time. Pope Valley Winery allows wine lovers to step back in time and experience 40 acres of history. Pope Valley Winery was established in 1897 by Ed Haus. He 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. Almost a century later, long-time Pope Valley residents, the Eakle family, purchased this historical winery and brought new life back into the Pope Valley. In 2009 the next generation of Eakles stepped in to continue building and furthering the families vision for Pope Valley Winery as a fine winemaking establishment. Currently siblings, David Eakle as winemaker along with consultant Shaun Richardson and Diana Eakle Hawkins as general manager, are making great strides in bringing Pope Valley Winery to the next level. The winerys grounds seem almost untouched by time, with six original nineteenth century structures still standing. Visitors are invited to tour the original 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. Those who tour it get a real feeling for nineteenth century winemaking. Pope Valley Winery produces high quality, handcrafted single varietal wines. The winerys vineyards include more than 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 the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Reserve. Visitors are invited to visit the winery for tours and tastings daily form 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The winery offers both a complimentary tasting and reserve tasting along with tours, picnic tables and a bocce ball court for guests enjoyment. Also available for purchase are delicious cheese baskets for visitors to enjoy on the patio with a glass of wine.

New Moscato Release from Folie Deux

by Ronda Giangreco
Wines can often be recognized as sophisticated, weighty or even intimidating just by the name and label. But if you are looking for an approachable, fun-loving and delicious addition to your afternoon in the wine country, there are few wines or wineries more welcoming and laid back than Napa Cellars/Folie Deux. From the moment you pull into this convivial and lively place, youll know that pretentious mannerisms will not be required. This is a winery where you can kick off your flip-flops, grab a table and enjoy a great bottle of wine with your summer picnic. Their extremely popular Mnage Trois wines offer just the sort of joyful, light-hearted touch that many are looking to find during a sun-lit drive through the Napa Valley. And you can be one of the very first to sample their brand new Menage Moscato. This wine is like laughter in a bottle. Floral and a touch on the sweet side, the Moscato is just the sort of wine to lift your spirits and get the fun started. Located precisely in the middle of the Napa Valley, their tasting room is a relaxed, friendly place with a distinct party atmosphere. It offers a perfect opportunity for creating a wine country memory free of even a hint of snobbery. Their extensive gift shop also gives you a
chance to pick up something as a reminder of your escape with an impressive array of gift items, including logoed T-shirts, hats, glassware, oils and dipping sauces (samples available), picnic supplies and more, all artfully displayed around the room on upended barrels and custom display racks. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, too mounds of lavender and assorted vibrantly hued flowers delight the eye and fill the air with sweet aromas, while the soothing sounds of a fountain burbles away merrily, providing the background music for your pastoral pleasure. The visitors center is a geodesic dome, with a pentagon shaped tasting bar set up in the middle of the room. Directly above the bar, in the center of the room, a grape motif stained glass window shines a rainbow of color down on the cheerful scene. A marble topped bar against one wall is used for overflow on busy days, and because of its prime location, this tasting room can really get to rockingliterally. The sounds of classic rock provide just the sort of spirit that these wines require. No matter how big the crowd may get, the jovial staff always makes everyone feel like they are not just another customer, but a member of the gang. The visitors center for Napa Cellars and Folie Deux, located at 7481 St. Helena Hwy, Oakville, CA is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, call 1-800-535-6400 or visit their website at www.napacellars.com or www.folieadeaux.com.

Judds Hill Winery Revives Lost Poetry Contest

eastern hills of St. Helena to our current location on the Silverado Trail, the poetry contest slipped through the cracks. Oh woe, another sad story of how art suffers! But, we are back on track and are attracting the most wonderful words and images from dear and brilliant poets around the country. Please think of submitting a poem to us when the muse has you enthralling over a glass of wine, the glory of grapes or even the unique qualities of a corkscrew (see 2005 Poems). All of us at Judds Hill send you best regards, and an invitation to visit so we can further inspire you with our form of poetry. Judds Hill Winery is located at 2332 Silverado Trail, Napa. Bunnie, Judd and Holly Finkelstein represent two generations of Napa vintners. Their philosophy is one that focuses on an intimate and personal approach, which is why they have limited their annual production to less than three thousand cases a literal drop in the bucket of Napa Valley wine. Their tasting room is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m daily. In addition to their casual, seated wine tastings, they offer Bottle Blending sessions, all by advance appointment. So, be sure to call ahead, (707)255-2332. Visit their website at www.juddshill.com for more information. To life and to Art! Where the World Began by Gary Cooke What if this is where the world began, this vine shaped like a mother, her two arms lifted high, tendrils of new growth extending toward heaven, the sun backlighting the leaves so they glow with divine fire? Look at her weathered face and skin, standing there all those years, the dirt. at her feet deep with love, her roots digging down to the riches only she knows are there. Above, clouds glide or tremble, depending on the season, rain falls to earth and rises again in the great ritual of time passing. What if this is the whole story, and neither lips nor wind can make it change? What if the light in these green and yellow leaves and the light in the red tree spreading above, is the first light to reach earth, and we stand here, our blood in every grape, and we are part of how it begins again?
by Bunnie Finkelstein
My mother always told me I would marry a poet, and sure enough, my talented husband, Art, created liquid poetry, as Robert Louis Stevenson coined it. This sparked my interest in both forms, drinkable and readable. Who hasnt felt the need for rapturous declarations when sipping a superlative glass of wine? Wine label descriptions certainly try to coax us into a certain level of engagement. Put two and two together, and it was clear that the wine business needed to bring poets to the table! With this exciting idea swimming in my head, we launched the First Ever Judds Hill Poetry Contest in 1999. We solicited poems from family and friends, and were thrilled with the response from Grandma, Sister, Wine Writer and a couple of real, honest to goodness Professional Poets. We entrusted the contest judging to our dear friend Jane Hall, who had developed the poetry publication Coracle, and the seed sprouted. Deciding that Professional Poets were the target candidates for our poetry contest, I started spending our only advertising dollars on ads in poetry journals for each years contest. The exquisite results can be read on our website, www.juddshill.com. Click on Recipes, Art and Video to get to the Poetry folder, and enjoy these many fine poems. When Judds Hill moved from the

Beaulieu Vineyard
Legendary Rutherford Winery Celebrates Heritage in the Newly Opened Museum and History Tour
by Alexandra Charsley
It seems logical that Beaulieu Vineyard would open a new Heritage room to celebrate their long history of producing great wine. As more people are turning back to their roots, they have embraced this tradition and thats what makes them a destination winery. I have been drinking Beaulieu wines for as long as I can remember as their big, bold reds always deliver and happen to be my favorite. Their tasting room experience now offers so much more than tastings and winery exclusive information, but also a piece of their enduring legacy. In 1900, Georges de Latour founded his winery with the vision of creating world-class Cabernet Sauvignon from the exceptional terroir of Rutherford. In the century since, Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon has become the benchmark Napa Valley Cabernet as well as one of the most collected American wines. The first Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon was crafted with grapes from the 1936 vintage by Andr Tchelistcheff, who tasted the wine in barrel and insisted on giving it an independent bottling. Today, this wine is widely considered the standard bearer of fine Rutherford Cabernet, with deep fruit character, silky tannins and impressive aging ability. This legacy honors the marriage between state-of-the-art technology and gentle, traditional winemaking methods, a combination that enhances the expression of their remarkable vineyards. Their new Heritage Room is a tribute to their beginning, their ability to survive during Prohibition, and to become a top producer of rich, classic Napa Valley wines. The original 1885 stone walls house the room and the original beams were preserved. Guests will be the first to see the interesting array of historic pieces they have collected over the years; ranging from original winemaking equipment to sales ledgers from the post-Prohibition era showing that their Private Reserve once sold for $1.01 per bottle. We found this great collection of amazing pieces of our history stored away in an old warehouse. As much as we embrace new technology and innovation, our history is also what sets us apart and will capture the interest of curious visitors. We are very excited to finally be able to invite the public to come see what weve dusted off in our new Heritage Room, Graham Jones, Beaulieu Vineyard Hospitality Manager. This month they celebrate the exciting release of the 2008 vintage of Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. This marks the first vintage to be made 100 percent out of their new state-of-the-
art winery dedicated solely to Georges de Latour Private Reserve. In 2008 under recommendation from legendary consultant Michel Rolland, Beaulieu Vineyard created a winery within a winery to produce their flagship wine. After more than 60 years of sharing space, BV's Georges de Latour Private Reserve has gone private with the recent completion of its own, new 9,600-square-foot micro winery. Having a brand new state-of-the-art winery is a dream come true for a winemaker. This facility helps me to achieve complex yet balanced wines that reflect the true character of our renowned vineyards, says Director of Winemaking, Jeffrey Stambor. Twice daily Historic Tours are set to resume mid-September and will include a Cabernet Sauvignon Barrel Tasting in the Heritage Room for $20 per guest. Advance reservations are recommended and can be made through their website at www.bvwines.com. The tour also allows guests to visit their historic Redwood Tank room where they will get to take in the wonderful beauty and aroma of their 75+ year old redwood wine tanks. Then, you are invited to taste the acclaimed wines that are such an important part of Napa Valleys past and present. While here, visit the Georges de Latour Reserve Tasting room and try the new 2008 release. The Reserve Room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and features their entire Reserve Wines including the Library Collection with wines dating back to 1970. Their gracious and knowledgeable staff will guide you through your experience at Beaulieu Vineyard whether you are a first-time visitor or a wine connoisseur.

Winemaker Profile: Somerston Wine Company
Craig Becker
by Diana Greenwood
Somerston Wine Company is a broad picture type of winery with expansive ideas and sweeping long-term plans. The skys the limit. Much of that viewpoint emanates from the vision and enthusiasm of Craig Becker, part owner, General Manager and Winemaker at Somerston. A jeans and rolled-up sleeves kind of guy with an innate sense of business, Craig is everywhere at once, wearing many hats. But his boots are grounded in 1,628 acres of rich Somerston soil high in the eastern mountains overlooking one of the prettiest valleys around. The sky seems brighter there, the shadows longer, the wildlife a little more content. Craig says his wines are all about the place and you can tell by the sparkle in his voice that he finds this place pretty impressive. Craigs winemaking philosophy is straightforward: Soil-driven, place-driven wines. You dont necessarily feel the hand of the winemaker in Somerston wines, other than maybe the elegance said Craig. I know its clich, but its all about the vineyard. I love to grow grapes. Farming is something Ive been doing since college, and this is my 17th vintage. Wine is a matter of understanding your vineyards, knowing the microclimates and trying to optimize the varietal thats going to grow best in that location. Sometimes its about ripping out a vineyard for the long-term good. Theres a business side to winemaking that I really enjoy but mostly its about growing amazing grapes. Raised in Southern California, Craig craved green pastures and challenging mountain bike trails so he followed the scent of fresh air and braked at Santa Rosa Junior College. He then transferred to UC Davis to study plant physiology and soil science. Craig was inserting genes into plants in Plant Physiology 112 when he met Courtney Siverson, who would later become his wife. Courtney was in the wine program and that first fall, she was offered a harvest position at Robert Mondavi. Although Courtney declined, Craig was intrigued, took the job and continued to work at Mondavi while he finished his degree, staying an extra year to complete the wine program at UC Davis. It was the start of something big but it began on the ground, just the way Craig wanted to learn, boots caked with mud and fingers blistered from picking grapes. Upon graduation in 1997, Craig and Courtney moved to St. Helena and Craig accepted a $12 per hour position at Spring Mountain Vineyard even though he had other, more lucrative offers. Less than nine months out of college, Craig was promoted to winemaker, launching his career. By 1999, word of his reputation as a winemaker deeply involved in both farming and the cellar had spread, and Craig began a vineyard consulting business, Becker Wines and Vineyard Management. In 2000, the college sweethearts got married, living in the valley that inspired Craig daily. Craig left Spring Mountain in 2003 and by 2005, he was juggling ten clients (with much success in single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon) while also making his own wine under the Michael Austin brand, created with a long-time friend, including Highflyer, Craigs personal brand that honors his love of flying. Craig is an accomplished pilot and one has to wonder if theres something about zipping through clouds with a birds-eye view of nature that inspires the wide perspective he brings to Somerston. But it was a Gigondas-style blend called Bad Habit under the

Michael Austin brand that brought Craig to Somerston. I wanted to make some Petite Syrah and this property had all three varietals that I needed, especially the Grenache growing on the Priest Ranch property, said Craig. I purchased the fruit and was blown away. I met the founder, Allan Chapman, and over the next couple of years we got to know each other quite well. Were both long-term thinkers and Allan is a great mentor. I made a little bit of bulk wine for him and then in late 2006 he asked for input in the vineyard, which is what I do, and slowly it turned into this wine project. In 2007 we got the winery permit, in 2008 we merged our wine brands. We converted the old barn into the tasting room that opened in 2011. Today, an investor and part-owner, Craig Becker is also Somerstons general manager of the vineyards as well as winemaker, and he oversees the marketing department. In addition, Craig is still making wines for Peacock Family Vineyard, Kelleher in Oakville, Cross Cellars, Balcom Cellars, Priest Ranch and Highflyer. Somehow he still finds time to play with his three little girls, Sydney, Gabriella and Lauren, ages eight, five and three, respectively. Craig and Courtney bought a little dump in St. Helena and turned it into a big, new house that they remodeled alone. The house sits on an acre of farmland where the homeschooled girls roam, picking vegetables from the garden and feeding the twenty little meat birds that Craig and the family are raising. The girls join Craig weekly for lunch at Somerston and are already learning the wonders of nature and the rewards of farming. Plan a visit to the eastern mountain vineyards of Somerston. The
wines are extremely limited production with very little distribution so its well worth the drive on Hwy. 128 past Lake Hennessey, up and up where the skies are bluer and the air is sweet. Taste the first release in the spacious, stylishly renovated barn at 3450 Sage Canyon Road (Hwy. 128), St. Helena. For $50, try all three wines, take an off-road buggy tour of the vineyards and historic property, and enjoy a cheese plate. Call ahead, (707) 967-8414, or visit www.somerstonwineco.com. You can also visit without an appointment and skip the buggy tour, but why would you want to? The skys the limit at Somerston. Somerston wines show the passion and the extreme success of everything weve been trying to do, said Craig. There are three wines, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot (our Proprietary Red Blend), and a beautiful Sauvignon Blanc, all very specific, single block wines. Each demonstrates the expression of this estate that I want people to remember.

Plan to Stay at the Calderwood Inn, Healdsburg

Welcome to the Calderwood Inn. This historic Queen Anne Victorian was built in 1902 and was first owned by John Miller, a prominent fruit grower, packer and dehydrator in the early 1900s. The home remained in the Miller family until the late 1930s and was a private residence until the early 1980s when it became a bed and breakfast inn. In July of 2009, Ken and Diane Wilson purchased the inn and became its new owners. Under various creative influences, the inn has undergone extensive restoration throughout the years. Beautiful hand-silk screened period wall and ceiling papers accent the spacious common areas and some guest rooms. The papers are produced by Bradbury & Bradbury of Benicia and are based on designs of William Morris, a prominent textile designer of the mid- to late 1800s. The formal, yet welcoming rooms include a spacious parlor with fireplace the perfect place to enjoy the morning paper or a board game on a quiet afternoon. The spacious dining room, that seats up to 14, showcases original wainscoting with a built-in china cabinet and bench. The large antique table is where guests dine on Calderwoods signature gourmet breakfasts. The covered front porch with its antique wicker furniture and lacquered floor beckons you to enjoy the lush grounds, review the activities of your day or curl up with a good book. The porch is often used by local wineries who frequently co-host the complimentary evening wine hour. All seven guest rooms have private baths. Each room is decorated differently to incorporate an extensive collection of beautiful, yet comfortable period antiques. In addition to the immaculate accommodations, the innkeeper
provides an experience unlike any other. She has been described as knowledgeable, witty and incredibly welcoming. There have been so many wonderful guests at the inn and, in order to fully understand this experience, come see us for yourself! Visit tripadvisor.com and see what guests are saying about them! To make a reservation, or inquire about the inn, visit www.calderwoodinn.com, call (707) 431-1110 or email the innkeeper directly innkeeper@calderwoodinn.com. The Calderwood Inn is located at 25 W.

Cindy Pawlcyns Brassica Mediterranean Kitchen/Wine Bar Now Open

New Concepts, Sustainable Menu Spices Up Napa Valleys Restaurant Scene
Pioneering chef Cindy Pawlcyn and business partner Sean Knight have transformed Go Fish into Brassica, a modern Mediterranean concept with an extensive and innovative wine program. The restaurants grazing-friendly portions are inspired by a host of Mediterranean countries. Brassica is Latin for the plant family of crucifers and mustards native to the Mediterranean and grown in the Napa Valley. It links the new restaurant to Pawlcyns legendary Mustards Grill and bridges the distance between Southern Europe and Northern California. Culinary offerings range from smaller plates such as Eggplant Fries with Spiced Yoghurt and Garlic Shrimp with Brandy and Espelette Pepper to more substantial offerings such as Moroccan Lamb with Golden Raisins & Couscous and Braised Beef Cheeks with Pedro Ximnez Sherry and Cauliflower. An example of Pawlcyns use of sustainable seafood along with house-grown produce can be seen in her Crispy Sardine Salad with Bitter Greens and Mustard Dressing. Brassicas menu also reflects the way Pawlcyn herself likes to eat enjoying lots of variety and not too much of one thing. The restaurant was designed to offer everything from a small bite to a full meal, provides good value and reflects the trend of a lighter diet. The robust, hearty flavors of the food are designed to pair with both local and Mediterranean wine selections. The appeal of the Mediterranean for Pawlcyn, has much to do with its affinity with wine. It is a natural match for Napa Valley, where Pawlcyn and her team will continue to focus on local products, with global inspiration. Pawlcyn affectionately calls Napa Valley Chef Heaven, because for her it is all about food, wine and the hardworking people who create it. Executive chef Darren McRonald also has an extensive background in these traditions, thanks to his passion for travel, and work experience in French kitchens. My heart and soul really lie in the Mediterranean style, he professes. The design of the restaurant is typically Napa Valley laid-back. Come as you are, just come on in, notes Managing Partner Sean Knight. The restaurant was designed by architect Howard Backen and features warm, lush colors. Rich chocolate leather and mahogany wood melds with a mirror and lighted glass bar. Brassica also carries on the tradition of live music on the patio. Brassica has five unique points of difference in its drinks program. Pawlcyns restaurants have always been known for their comprehensive wine programs and Brassica is likely to set new standards in that arena. The restaurant offers 70 wines by the glass, serves eight wines on tap and pours the Brassica 12 a dozen lesser-known local wines that can only be tasted there. Brassica also offers a seasonal cocktail program with fresh syrups and produce. The restaurant also offers retail wine sales. Knight says that Napa Valley needs restaurants that have a key focus on wine programs that are accessible to a broad demographic. Chef Pawlcyn promises the list wont overwhelm because servers will help guests zero in on regions and grapes with good food-pairing synergies. The approach will be savvy and low key, she notes, as diners like to be in the know, but dont want to go back to school. The Brassica 12 features a rotating selection of exclusive high quality wines and acts as a wine tasting collective inside the restaurant. The program, actively promoted by producers with events, offers barrel samples and library wine - with a focus on reds. Brands on the first list include El Molino, Arietta and Bressler. The cocktail program also features a series of food-friendly cocktails. Wine director Jennifer Ingellis sources many ingredients for these drinks directly from the restaurants own gardens. She says that Brassica features interesting twists on traditional cocktails using ingredients that you might find in the Mediterranean. She also incorporates her own house-made syrups in flavors such as honey-ginger, tamarind and hibiscus.

NAPA VALLEY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Tasting Room of the Week:
Bennett Lane Winery

by Alexandra Charsley
Bennett Lane Winery is located in the charming town of Calistoga. The winery is surrounded by the Mayacamas and Palisades mountains along with Mt. St. Helena. As you drive up the long driveway surrounded by grape vines, there is a sense of tranquility. Bennett Lane has just completed renovations on their tasting room, which now reflects their impressive wines and that is why they are the Tasting Room of the Week. They have blown out the walls and made a much larger tasting room, with the feature being on the tasting bar. Upon entering, you will be greeted by their staff and can settle in for your tasting. While they originally set out to be friendliest tasting room in the valley, this ideal still holds true. The tasting room is warm and welcoming and their focus is on the wine and personal tasting experience. Along with these renovations, they have also created their own iPad app for use while tasting. This is such a great idea as I always take notes while tasting and then carefully tag my bottles at home. This is no longer necessary as all the notes can be emailed or sent to Facebook, which is a great tool if you are going to keep wine. Some other features in the app are the food pairings, the ability to join their wine club and view photos of the vineyards year round. So while this technology is new in the tasting room, it doesnt detract from the personal experience but rather enhances it. Currently, Bennett Lane has twelve wines that have scored 90 points and above from Robert Parker, Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast, so they produce serious wine while presenting it in a fun, casual atmosphere. For those interested in a hands-on winemaking adventure, Bennett Lane offers a Varietals Fruit Flavor Custom Blend Experience. First, you are introduced to the winemaking process through a vineyard tour and discussion of the ideal growing conditions for each grape. After the tour, you will taste and smell the unblended varietals (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah) along with a variety of aromatics selected to represent the essential qualities and flavor profiles of each varietal. By using different amounts of Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from a variety of vineyard lots, guests blend, bottle, cork and label their own blend of Bennett Lanes Maximus red feasting wine personalized to their taste. The Varietals Fruit Flavor Custom Blend Experience is $175 perperson. Appointments can be made in advance by calling 1-877-629-6272. There is a beautiful outdoor patio surrounded by roses, grapevines, sounds of water from the nearby fountains and of course the view of the hills. This area is reserved for club members or for guests that would like to enjoy their time in Calistoga with a lovely bottle of Bennett Lane wine. Bennett Lane is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Advance reservations are required for both tasting and tours and can be made by calling 1-877-629-6272.

Purity of Style and Form

RASgalleries presents Three Artists. Three Techniques. Pure Creativity.
As autumn rolls out its rich warm colors, RASgalleries, Yountvilles prestigious American art glass gallery located at 6540 Washington Street, meets the moment with fresh, pure and exciting new work by Jack Storms, Bandhu Dunham and premiering artist Abby Modell. The three artists bring a noble sense of purity to their works, though their styles and artistic backgrounds vary considerably. When we think of purity, we think perfection clean, flawless. This was the inspiration for bringing the uniquely different glass sculptures of Jack Storms and Bandhu Dunham, together with the snow white, iridized hot glass vessels of new gallery artist, Abby Modell, explains owner, Ronda Schaer. Clients will enjoy seeing completely different pieces created by using completely different techniques but all in the pureness of what is technically colorless. Ms. Schaer opened RASgalleries more than 20 years ago and represents many established American artists who focus on creating dynamic, contemporary art glass. Jack Storms masters his cold glass technique by drawing on modern technology to create his one-of a-kind sculptures. For each piece, Storms uses the highest quality leaded crystal and optical glass with extreme clarity and great light refracting capability. This is combined with diachroic film, a thin molecular coating of pure metals reflecting two or more colors. Layers are then bonded to small polished crystal blocks to create multi-dimensional core pieces. After bonding to larger blocks of crystal and allowing for curing, the piece is ready for Jack to begin sculpting. A finished piece may have up to 100 small pieces of diachroic, crystal and optical glass making this an intensely laborious technique. Most agree its worth every minute of Jacks effort. Bandhu Dunham taught himself to lampwork (also referred to as torchwork), a glass technique that uses a gas fueled torch to melt rods and tubes of low melting point soft glass. Once in a molten state, the glass is formed by blowing or shaping with tools and hand movements. Lampworking differs from glassblowing in that a glassblower uses a blowpipe to inflate a bubble, whereas lampworking manipulates glass either by use of tools, gravity or blowing directly into the end of a glass tube. I always wanted to be a mad scientist or alchemist. By fifteen, I had an extensive chemistry lab in my parents basement. I thought the beakers at the hobby store were never cool-looking enough, so I taught myself the basics of lampworking. Later, I dropped out of Chemical Engineering at Princeton to become an artist, he states. Influenced by her parents extensive art glass collection, Abbey Modell was destined to develop a passion for glass at an early age. She began her career as a fashion and fabrics designer and became inspired to translate movement and pattern into her glass vessels and sculpture. She is fascinated by the different hot glass blowing techniques from the Venetian era through contemporary master glass craftsmen such as Chihuly, Littleton & Venini. Combining her modern approach with traditional methods has led her to establish a unique statement in each piece. I am particularly prone to clean lines and often use a single pure color enhanced with a mystifying iridized finish, she comments. Visit RASgalleries, 6540 Washington Street (next to Bouchon) in Yountville, Napa Valley daily, except Tuesdays, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (707) 944-9211, email to rasart60@aol.com or on Facebook.

Artist Jim Stallings Paints the Russian National Orchestra Fundraiser
Have youve ever been lost in the trance of a live performance, transported to a spiritual place youve never been before? This is precisely the state of metaphysics that happens to Jim Stallings as he translates his personal experience into brilliant color, energy and symbolism on canvas. He is the only artist in this country to paint to a live symphonic orchestra. Recently, during rehearsals of The Russian National Orchestra, Yountville Arts arranged to allow Stallings to, as he states, Live his dream of painting with the most talented orchestra in the world. As a thank you to Yountville for the privilege, he gifted an original 40" x 40" painting created during the rehearsals that will be available for purchase, rotating between five different locations in Yountville during the month of October. Stallings has explored the relationship of music and pure color for his entire artistic career. Deciding early in his life to pursue canvases of whimsy and purity, questions about the relationship of music to fine art led Stallings to paint live on stage with major symphony orchestras, including Long Beach, San Diego, Honolulu and Maui. Painting the sound of music was a defining moment in Stallings career. He has continued to explore the vibration harmony of music, color and the human spirit with world-renowned orchestras and physicists, which have led to several experiences aboard the spaceship Columbus. The painting, Russian National Orchestra IV, began its public tour on October 3 when visitors of the Jessup Cellars tasting room had an opportunity to see the original art and bid on the painting. On October 8 the painting arrives at hope & grace Winery, October 15 at Somerston, October 22 at Hill Family Estates and on October 29 at Cornerstone. For further information, visit the website at www.townofyountville.com/arts, rasart60@aol.com or (707) 696-4420.

Brannan Cottage Inn

Calistoga sits at the northern end of the Napa Valley, a county where there is no lack of individuality, history, beautiful scenery and a wide array of unique geographical features. Sam Brannan was, after the Native Americans, one of the first to recognize the special allure and qualities of this land, with geothermal hot springs that still fuel the spas that dot downtown, offering spa treatments, hot mud baths and soaks in the naturally preheated water. He, maybe more than anyone, put this town on the map, drawing settlers, then later tourists, some of whom built the cottages and sprawling Victorian homes. These are all factors that make Calistoga the consummate walking town, both for its compactness and for its diversity of shops, architecture and restaurants from bars and barbecue and casual to fine dining. And there is nowhere better a place to start than by booking a room at the Brannan Cottage Inn. The property is an historic treasure and is officially confirmed as such. The six rooms

are charming, each with their own bathroom (one with a claw-foot bath tub), all have in-room refrigerators, and two mini-suites are spacious and charming. The inn also comes with a resident Jack

being on a residential side street off Lincoln Avenue. The only noise (and little at that) comes from the parrot raised next door, and pets are welcome in most of the rooms. While you are there also be sure to take advantage of the concierge-like service included in the very reasonable rates. You are encouraged to ask as many questions as you can think of. Doug and Judy Cook, owners and innkeepers, are knowledgeable, patient and understanding. Especially with their guests and with Pinot Grigio. They also have developed great relationships with local businesses that can save visitors money at restaurants, wineries and tasting rooms, and spas. Judy prepares the daily breakfast, which is delicious and perfect fare to get you prepared for a day of spa treatments, or for winery visits or a walk or even for the ambitious a hike. And on Friday evenings local winemakers pour their best, accompanied by Judys hors doeuvres. The Brannan Cottage Inn is located at 109 Wapoo Avenue in Calistoga. Look on www.brannancottageinn.com or call them at (707) 9424200.
Russell terrier named, fittingly, after a grape varietal: Pinot Grigio. The main building at the inn was constructed in 1860 by Samuel Brannan, entrepreneur that he was. Of the original 25 cottages at his original Calistoga Hot Springs Resort, only three remain and the Inn has the only cottage remaining at its original location. Though just minutes from the center of town, the quiet comes from

8th Annual Healdsburg Crush Festival, October 15

The whos who of Sonoma County wineries and restaurants will gather under one roof for an evening of food and wine tasting in downtown Healdsburg, just one block east of the Plaza, for the Healdsburg Crush Festival, sponsored by St. John Catholic School on Saturday, October 15 from 6 to 9 p.m. Raffle drawings, silent auction lots, buy-in parties and live music round out the evenings festivities. The popular event, now in its eighth year, will showcase more than 30 Sonoma County wineries, featuring many award-winning and boutique wines, alongside dozens of outstanding local restaurants and food purveyors. Guest winemakers from participating wineries will be available for questions and conversation about the 2011 crush season (sure to be an interesting discussion with the crazy weather the county has had in 2011). In addition, popular local chefs will be serving their signature dishes. The Crush Festival, which has come to be known as the event where Sonoma winemakers pair their wines with Sonoma Countys finest locally grown and sourced foods, attracts attendees from all over the country. This years patron sponsor is Hop Kiln Winery, while other participating wineries include Chavez Family Cellars, Toad Hollow Vineyards, Zichichi Family Vineyard, Old World Winery, and Clos du Bois to name only a small sampling. Some food purveyors providing fine cuisine for the evening include Divine Pizza, Dry Creek Olive Oil Company, Costeaux French Bakery & Caf, Diavola, Spoonbar and Castenedas Market. The Healdsburg Crush Festival will take place at St. John School Parish Activity Center at 217 Fitch Street, Healdsburg. Tickets are $65 per person and can be purchased by calling (707) 433-2758 or online at www.healdsburgcrushfestival.org. This event has sold out in previous years. Follow the Healdsburg Crush Festival on Facebook (www.facebook .com/#!/pages/Healdsburg-Crush-Festival/102525476470621) and Twitter (@HealdsburgCrush) for the most update news on sponsors, auction lots and participating wineries and restaurants.

Bike into Spring in Bucolic Dry Creek Valley with Dutcher Crossing Winery Proprietor Debra Mathy
Free and open to all levels; 9 am the last Friday of each month
After a long, rainy winter, bike into spring, touring the vibrant scenery of Dry Creek Valley with Debra Mathy, an avid cyclist and proprietor of Dutcher Crossing Winery. A bike is always my first choice of transportation, said Mathy. I would like to invite anyone with a bike to join me on a scenic tour of the northern valley vineyards. Starting at Dutcher Crossing Winery at the juncture of Dry Creek Road and Dutcher Creek Road, Mathy will lead a casual ride through the valleys verdant vineyards from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on the last Friday of each month through October 28, 2011. A lover of bicycles since childhood, Debras last gift from her late father was a vintage high-wheel bicycle, showcased on all of Dutcher Crossing Winery wine labels. The icon represents Dutcher Crossing Winerys pursuit of small-lot winemaking, attesting to the guiding power of my fathers imagination, and the timeless qualities of an artisan approach to life, she explained. A replica of the high wheeler graces the tasting room, and on occasion, is actually ridden by Debra to the enjoyment of her guests. For information about the Ride with Deb, contact Debra by
email at debra@dutchercrossingwinery.com or phone at (707) 4312700. Visit the website at www.dutchercrossingwinery.com.

SONOMA VALLEY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Tasting Room of the Week:
Mayo Family Winery

A Haven for Lovers of Single Vineyard Wines
by Abigail P. Zimmerman
Mayo Family Winery is just that: a third generation family business steeply entrenched in the building of the reputation of Sonoma Valley wines. Henry Mayo is founding patriarch and great-uncle to Courtney whom I greatly enjoyed meeting one day last week in their Glen Ellen Tasting Room. In 1990, Henry planted Laurel Hill vineyards with nothing but Chardonnay. Intending to sell and turn a profit on the land, the grapes turned out to be so good, the rest they say is history. Today, the Mayos have two distinct Tasting Rooms within a short stretch of idyllic Sonoma Highway. In both places, you are sure to meet a Mayo behind the bar. The Kenwood venue specializes in masterful food and wine parings. The second is the Glen Ellen Tasting Room specializing in single vineyard wine. The thing that makes us different [here in Glen Ellen] is that we do two totally different tastings. First is the Premium Tasting for $6 with all the usual suspects: Chardonnay, Cabernet, Zins, Pinots, explained Courtney. The second is the
Medals from the Sonoma County Harvest Festival last month

GOLDS 2009 Zinfandel Port, Ricci Vineyard, Russian River Valley Old Vines 2008 Zinfandel, Ricci Vineyard, Russian River Valley Old Vines 2008 Zinfandel, Ricci Vineyard, Russian River Valley Reserve 2009 Zinfandel, Ricci Vineyard, Russian River Valley Reserve 2009 Zinfandel, Russian River Valley The Barnstormer 2007 Alicante Bouchet, Cloud 9 Vineyard, Russian River Valley Noir de Noirs 2008 Grenache, Judge Family Vineyard, Sonoma Valley, Jeffrey's Cuvee 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, Delaney Family Vineyard, Sonoma County Elspeth's Block GOLD MEDAL AND BEST OF CLASS 2009 Gewurztraminer Late Harvest, Kunde Ranch Vineyard, Sonoma Valley, Unwooded
Adventure Tasting [10 wines for $12]. These are NOT your usual suspects like Carignane, Viognier, Petite Verdot. While I greatly enjoyed the 2007 Laurel Hill Vineyard Chardonnay with notes of fruit, crisp pear and white pepper finish, I was thrilled to tackle the Adventure Tasting. I started off with Mayo the staff favorite, 2006 Sparkling Brut produced from estate grown Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Made only every three years, its no wonder this sparkler won a solid Gold Medal at the 2010 Sonoma Harvest Fair. Ten solidly impressive wines follow, each with its own distinct flavor profile, mouthfeel, and finish. Winemaker Mike Berthoud certainly knows how to coax great fruit into exquisite wines. Wines to note? Dont miss the 2007 Barbera from nearby Kunde Ranch Vineyard. This is Brians Cuvee for one of Henrys sons. A 100% Barbera from a single vineyard, the Barbera grape may be best known
from the Piedmont region of Italy but here at Mayo, this release has bold pomegranate flavors with hints of herb. Also, dont miss the 2005 Meritage Carlos Cuvee a true Bordeaux classic from 70% Cabernet Sauv, 20% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc. Mayo has fun with some of their wines and invites in guest winemaking friends or noteworthy chefs to help. You can do that when youre small, explains Courtney. Carlo Caballo, proprietor of nearby Meritage Restaurant and Oyster Bar, weighed in on this production and the resulting wine is rich in structure and boasts strong notes of black cherry, tobacco, and vanilla. Delicious. More than 16 distinct wines await you at Mayo Family Winerys Tasting Room in Glen Ellen. Wines are available until 6:30 p.m. every night a nice touch especially if youre headed to dinner at the Fig Caf, says Courtney. Come on by! Were here.

Charles Creek Tasting Room

by Ronda Giangreco
As the harvest season descends upon Sonoma there is a palatable feeling of excitement, a bounce to the step of vintners and visitors alike. The warm, sunlit days of late summer beckon folks to enjoy the simple pleasures of this bucolic little village. The best way to experience the convivial essence of Sonoma is by enjoying a leisurely promenade around the picturesque Sonoma Plaza. The pastoral splendor of the plaza offers an unforgettable opportunity to picnic amongst towering trees, stroll along meandering paths and graze at world class eateries. And now, thanks to the Charles Creek Tasting room on the plaza, visitors can also sample the very best Chardonnay in the state. Thats not just an idle claim, either. Charles Creeks 09 Las Patolitas Chardonnay was awarded 98 points at the California State Fair, won the Double Gold, Best of Class, and most importantly, was named the Best Chardonnay in California. As Alan Wastell, tasting room manager for Charles Creek, says, It takes more time to read the award than it does to drink a glass of the wine! It is only fitting that the states best wine can be found at one of Californias most celebrated settings. Produced from the grapes of the famed Sangiacomo vineyard in the Carneros region, the 09 Patolitas Chardonnay is the perfect accompaniment for your visit to this magical place. Most importantly, all of these accolades seem to have given Ms. Moo-lot, the tasting rooms iconic cow (yes, a cowbut a very friendly, stationary one), a real reason to smile. Ms. Moo-lot has presided over the Charles Creek Tasting Room for years now and has posed for thousands of visitors vacation photos. Her grin is just a little wider these days as she holds court under the plaque proclaiming the Chardonnays standing. But dont just come for Charles Creeks Vineyards outstanding Chardonnay. Charles Creek produces some excellent Merlot, Syrah and Pinot Gris as well. In fact, the winery has perfected over a dozen different varietals, with a wine to suit nearly every palate. Even the foodie in your group will be thrilled. Charles Creek has a line of marvelous balsamic vinegars that have been aged for eighteen years. Be sure to sample the black current, blueberry and cinnamon pear, along with the tradition balsamic. Good wine is not hard to find in Sonoma. But great wine in an unforgettable setting, served with warmth and humor, is a exceptional discovery indeed. Charles Creek Winery on the plaza should be a must visit for all who have the good fortune to find themselves in Sonoma this week. Charles Creek Tasting Room and Gallery is located at 483 1st Street West, on the Plaza, in Sonoma and is open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, call (707) 935-3848 or go to www.charlescreek.com.

Steven Kent Releases New Single Vineyard Cabernets

The latest releases in Steven Kent Winery's acclaimed "Single Vineyard Series" will debut at a special tasting on Saturday, September 17, at the estate's Barrel Room. That afternoon from noon to 4:30 p.m., guests will have the opportunity to sample 2008 Cabernet Sauvignons from the Smith Ranch Vineyard, the Ghielmetti Vineyard, and the Home Ranch Vineyard. The cost for the tasting is $10 per person; admission is complimentary for Steven Kent and La Rochelle club members. The wines of SKW's "Single Vineyard Series" are among the most sought-after, collectable Cabernets in California. Only forty-five cases were produced of the 2008 "Smith Ranch Vineyard" Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2008 "Ghielmetti Vineyard" release has only ninety-five cases available and the 2008 edition of the "Home Ranch Vineyard" a mere seventy-three cases. The previous vintage sold-out quickly, with all three wines receiving 91 to 93 point scores in Wine Enthusiast Magazine. The three new "SVS" wines retail for $60. The Steven Kent Winery is located in the historic, world-class Livermore Valley appellation. Owner / winemaker Steven Kent Mirassou, sixth-generation of America's 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.
