intelligence for the Wine conSUMer by Len Napolitano
Is white wine with fish, red wine with meat still the rule when pairing food with wine?
For some people, the task of pairing wine with food becomes a study in the seemingly unlimited complexities of wine and food anatomy. However, the simple rule of pairing white wines with fish and red wines with meat serves as a good starting point for anyone who enjoys wine with their meals. Of course, you can feel free to break this golden rule and still create a great food-and-wine experience. Two of my favorite exceptions to this rule are salmon with Pinot Noir and pork with lightly-oaked or unoaked Chardonnay. When choosing a wine that matches well with food, rule number one is that your own personal wine preference overrides all other rules. So, if you absolutely love Merlot, and only Merlot, even with the most delicate fish dish, then go ahead and drink it regardless of what you are eating. If, however, you want to experience a marriage between food and wine that in some cases can be described as heavenly, it may be worthwhile to precede your decision on wine with some consideration for this golden rule of wine and food pairing and a couple of subsequent steps that can bring you closer to wine-pairing nirvana. After deciding on whether to have a red or white wine, you get to the next decision point: matching a full bodied wine with a robust dish or a light wine with a delicate dish. Finally, if you really want to get into the nitty-gritty of wine and food pairing, you can then match the flavors in a wine with the dominant flavors in the dish (or sauce) either because there is a shared component between them or because there is a complementary contrast between them. In some cases, the structure of a wine its crisp acidity, for example, or its dry, tannic backbone are features to also consider in the decision. There are some food and wine pairings that are considered as classic marriages. These include steak with Cabernet Sauvignon, lamb with Merlot, scallops with Chardonnay, caviar with sparkling wine or sweet Port-style dessert wine with Stilton cheese. Except for the last example, these pairings follow the rule of red wine with meat, white wine with fish. But they all match the robustness of the wine with the food. They also are built upon the marriage of either similar or contrasting flavors that complement each other on the palate and make for a rich wine and culinary experience.

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

by Jeffry Ross
The Skinny The Wine Garage is all about the juice. Its also about having fun
like a kid in a candy store. The Wine Garage is, literally, a former gas station. Todd, the wine buyer, travels far and wide to find top-shelf, affordably priced wines. Inside, youll find more than 200 different labels neatly arranged in cases on the floor and an engaging staff who are friendly, attentive and most importantly, they know their wines. Buzz Despite its funky space, the Wine Garage is a wine lovers best friend. Reminiscent of visiting your favorite record store (yes, kids, once upon a time, thats where you had to buy your music), the fun is going through all the cases and finding something youve never heard of. All the wines have been test driven by the staff, so, whatever you select, you wont be disappointed. Value Ultimately, the Wine Garage is about value. Its no secret that in Napa Valley, its difficult to score a highly rated red for less than $65, but the Wine Garage manages to do it all the time. The staff takes great pride hunting down unusual and lesser-known, limited-production wines and passing their haggling finesse on to us. Ten-second summary 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).

WINERY FEATURE | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Baldacci Family Vineyards

By Charles Neave
For years Tom and Brenda Baldacci had wanted to own a vineyard and establish a winery where they could produce the wines that they, themselves, enjoyed drinking. This all began to fall into place with the purchase of 17 acres in the Stags Leap district in 1997. Though in the greater scheme of things that is not all that long ago, what they have made of this acreage is remarkable and, in its own way, destined to be timeless. Set against a hillside on the Silverado Trail, it is both a compact but also expansive venue. Look in one direction and there are stainless tanks and one of the nicest crush pads Ive ever seen. And all around you and going up that hill are vines and more vines. Walk back to the 7,500 square feet of caves past that crush pad and you find yourself in a tranquil realm of wood loggias, benches, comfortable seating areas, olive trees and a slightly elevated view across more lovingly tended vines. It is all part of the Baldacci familys commitment to the essential grape and to the land they are stewards of. At harvest the fruit is handled as little as possible, allowing the unique attributes of the varietals to come through in the finished wine and making the special qualities of every glass a part of the land, a part of the tradition, a part of the family. From the beginning, the winery melded a passion for winemaking with the tradition of family. Combining these two vital facets of life into one ensures that every drop in every bottle produced is a true labor of love. They believed that the enjoyment of great winemaking and the opportunity to build a lasting legacy for their family was an attainable goal. Part of what might be called the extended family is winemaker Rolando Herrera. With two decades of experience making wine in the Stags Leap District, he is a talented member of the team, the one who oversees the entire winemaking process from start to finish. When I started talking to the Baldaccis about coming to work for them, I was very excited because I wanted to get back to the vineyards of the Stags Leap District, he says. These are the wines I know and love the best they have a unique texture and style recognized everywhere as making the very finest Cabernet Sauvignon. In a way, I feel as if Ive come full circle, because I started my career here. Now I return with a wealth of knowledge and experience that I can put to good use for the Baldacci family. Considering the wines made here, possibly the one that most signifies the commitment to family and quality is the IV Sons Cabernet Sauvignon. It recognizes the four sons of Thomas and Brenda and the four elements present in the blend. The result is an oakaged wine filled with cherry, fig and black cherry aromas; a supple wine for both special occasions and everyday drinking at a reasonable price. Other wines wearing the Baldacci label are a pair of Pinot Noirs and, from the Stags Leap vineyards, Brendas Vineyard Cab and a Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon. Another Cabernet, the limited production Ruppert, where the fruit comes from just east of the town of Napa (Combsville/Toulocay), and Allwin Syrah from Carneros. As part of their Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and (very dry) Gewrztraminer project, the Baldaccis also have 22 acres of vines in Los Carneros, at the south end of Napa. Each vineyard indeed each row in each vineyard is carefully considered when it comes to every aspect of the final outcome, which is making a great bottle of wine. This includes the clones planted, the production of the vines (particularly crucial this year, with the 2011 harvest), the degrees of sugar (Brix, as it is known to the truly wine-savvy) as harvest approaches, growing techniques and more. As I have always said, making exceptional wine is equal parts farming (or agriculture, to

use a UC Davis sort of word), chemistry, and, without a single doubt, art. Get all three dead-on and you get bottles of nectar like they have in the tasting room at Baldacci Family Vineyards The tasting room is in a stylishly restored 1923 outbuilding with granite-topped bars, slate floor and doors that open onto the terrace. This is friendly, cordial, Wine Country Casual at its best; the ideal place to begin a leisurely journey through the wines of a place dedicated to family, friends and quality. You are also free in fact encouraged to wander about outside and gaze across the valley with its row-after-row of outstanding vineyards in what purists call the Napa Valley terroir, where soil and climate meet the vines. When people visit here they are treated like they are family. What Tom Baldacci always says is, Wine pairs best with family and friends. That is the feeling that we want people to have when they visit the winery, when they leave here and when, years from now, they remember their time at this small winery in the middle of the Napa Valley, say Fran Leach, one of the managers of the winery. And that, in a very few words, sums up the essence of Baldacci Family Vineyards. The tasting room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. by appointment. Located at 6236 Silverado Trail near the Yountville Crossroad its about 15 minutes from Napa and less than five minutes from the charming, restaurant- and shop-filled town of Yountville.

Sterling Vineyards
One of the Most Spectacular Wineries in Napa Valley
If you want a place to relax, take in the sunshine and sip a great glass of wine, stop by Sterling Vineyards. Known for bold and luscious Bordeaux-style red wines, the winery is perched on a hill 300 feet above the town of Calistoga. Many vistas offer panoramic views of Napa Valley including Sterling Vineyards estate vineyards which produced the valleys first vintage dated merlot in 1969. The winemaking team believes that their wines should express true varietal character. They craft each wine with this in mind, choosing gentle techniques tailored to bring out the aromas and flavors that each grape variety develops in the terroir it likes best. The resulting wines have exceptional quality that shines anywhere, with intriguing complexity that brings out the best in a wide variety of cuisines. The winery sources wines of exceptional quality from the staggering slopes of Diamond Mountain Ranch, the flat valley floor of Three Palms Vineyard, and many other diverse terroirs throughout Napa Valley and other select California regions. Single vineyard estates include Diamond Mountain Ranch and Three Palms Vineyard. These sites feature vastly different terroirs Diamond Mountain Ranch has staggeringly steep slopes, while Three Palms, with its famous silhouette, stretches over the valley

floor at the mouth of Dutch Henry Canyon. Both produce single-vineyard wines of great distinction. Your visit begins with a unique aerial tram ride that carries visitors up the hill to the winery, whose architecture was modeled after that of the Greek island of Mykonos, where Sterling Vineyards founder Peter Newton once lived. The brilliant white stucco stands out dramatically against the rugged Mayacamas and Vaca mountain ranges that flank each side of Napa Valley. Once off the tram, you are greeted with a glass of wine to sip while you stroll through art galleries, overlooks, and elevated walkways that allow guests to follow the winemaking process from grape to glass. As you tour the property, motion-activated flatscreen televisions provide detailed explanations. This arrangement lets guests tour the
winery at their own pace, while tasting rich, opulent wines along the way. As you stroll along the walkways, balconies and outdoor terraces, you will notice the winerys towers housing eight bells from Londons Church of St. Dunstans-inthe-East, originally founded in the 10th century. The church was destroyed by fire in 1666, rebuilt, and destroyed again during the bombing of World War II. Each time, new bells were recast from the old metal to give them superior tonal quality. The rich tolling of these ancient bells sounds down through the valley on the quarter hour. After your tour of the winemaking facilities you arrive at the elegant tasting rooms high atop this enchanted hill. You are welcomed to yet another perfect environment to enjoy exceptional wines while taking in forest, vineyard and mountain views. The extraordinary Mediterranean-style architecture, unique aerial tramway, stunning location, historic bells, and attention to visitors make Sterling Vineyards a top destination in Napa Valley.

Perfect Pairs
BY ALEXANDRA CHARSLEY
Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms Perfectly Paired with 2007 Freestone Pinot Noir
Once autumn begins, Im always searching for a good reason to turn on the oven and make a hearty meal. This stuffed mushroom recipe is from Stephen H. Pavy, Freestone Vineyards Director of Hospitality and Wine Education. One of the things I enjoy most about Pinot Noir is the way it is so food-friendly. The beautiful red fruit and light black fruit, softness, spiciness and earthiness goes with so many things. As a Pinot ages, wine experts will talk about forest floor and mushroom compost as some of the secondary and tertiary flavors and aromas that develop. So, my mind goes to mushrooms which I love anyway. Our 2007 Freestone Pinot Noir has begun to develop more depth of flavor that includes these earth tones. The Portobello mushrooms in this recipe are both sauted and baked, so their flavors are really enhanced by the cooking method. Add to that the herbs used, plus tomato paste and two cheeses and you have pulled together the perfect umami combination that makes this wine sing! This is one wine and food combination that is perfect from the first sip and first bite, says Stephen. The Freestone Vineyards Guest Center is open for tasting daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Reservations are not required. They do not offer food and wine pairings on a regular basis. However, their Second Sunday events each second Sunday of the month from noon to 4 p.m. they offer wine and food pairings, wine and art pairings or wine and music pairings.
STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS
Serves 8
Recipe provided by Stephen H. Pavy, Freestone Vineyards Director of Hospitality & Wine Education 8 large Portobello mushrooms 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus more for brushing mushrooms and adding to stuffing 2 leeks, white and green parts only, thinly sliced (may also use equivalent amount of green garlic, sweet onion, or shallots) 2 tablespoons Italian double strength tomato paste 1 cups plain bread crumbs 8 ounces best quality assertive semi-soft cheese, coarsely grated (we like Taleggio and Val dOsta Fontina) 4 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (a mixture of thyme leaves, oregano, marjoram, basil and/or parsley) 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 2 eggs, beaten Aleppo pepper (Spanish or Hungarian paprika may be substituted) Salt & pepper Preheat oven to 400F. Remove stems from mushrooms. Trim stems and finely chop. Heat 6 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat, and then add sliced leeks and chopped mushrooms along with salt and pepper to taste, saut until tender. Add tomato paste and cook briefly. Transfer sauted leeks and mushroom stems to bowl and combine with bread crumbs, grated cheeses, herbs and beaten egg. Add additional salt and pepper to taste. Add sufficient olive oil for stuffing to stick together. Brush top side of mushroom caps with olive oil and place top side down on foil lined baking sheet. Divide stuffing between mushroom caps, being sure to cover bottom of cap. Optional: drizzle more olive oil over top of stuffing mixture. Bake 12-15 minutes until mushrooms are tender and stuffing is browned . Sprinkle Aleppo pepper to taste over mushrooms before serving.

Soda Rock Spectacular Wines, Event Venue

by Charles Neave
For years I would drive past this fascinating structure in the Alexander Valley on my way to Healdsburg. The setting is exceptional, as it sits in one of the most prolific viticultural areas in all of Sonoma County. But what fascinated me was the building itself, which had long been in various stages of neglect and disrepair. It was still magnificent in its own way, but needed help. Then, one day, I saw work begin and I was heartened at the thought that all might begin to improve for a piece of wine country history that certainly needed and deserved it. When I found out that Ken Wilson was behind it, I could not have been more delighted. A Canadian-born designer, builder and renovator of unique structures, grape grower, vintner (his wife Diane is the winemaker), and more, I had seen his work in the past and was always impressed. He and his wife are also the owner of a collection of artisan wineries: Mazzocco Sonoma, Matrix (with its justly famous Pinot Noir), deLorimier and Wilson Winery in Dry Creek with their strong roster of estate grown reds. In Hopland, Mendocino County, they have Jaxon Keys, makers of wine as well as brandy. As one of the most respected grape growing and winemaking families in Northern California, they have left a strong and lasting imprint here. The fact that they had decided to restore this
Ken Wilson
particular property is a testament to both their vision as well as their commitment. This area once had a town named Soda Rock, with a hotel, general store, post office and school it suffered through expansion, financial strain and, as devastating as anything else, the dark veil of that failed social engineering experiment: Prohibition. The area later became Jimtown in 1893. But Soda Rock it still is, at least at this winery. So, by the time Ken and Diane bought the property in 2000, it already had a long history, but a whole new era was about to begin. We want Soda Rock to regain its place in the community, Ken said recently. We want to provide spectacular venues for social gatherings and to promote local agricultural products, cuisine and the artisanal specialties the area is known for. And, of course, fine wine in a special setting one both steeped in history but with an eye on the future. The structure had to undergo a lengthy seismic retrofitting, but that was just the beginning. Luckily the property had patient and resourceful new owners, and they knew that this was no quick fix. It was a long-term project and they understood that and went about the process accordingly.
30
The result of all this is a one-of-a-kind tasting room with areas both indoors and out for special events of every kind, from dinners and receptions to weddings. The grounds show an equal attention to detail; the vineyards that surround it are mature and include a three-story tower that is in its final stages. The wines Soda Rock is rapidly becoming known for are heavy on the reds, where the varietals include Zinfandel, Merlot, Malbec, four Cabernet Sauvignons and Cabernet Franc, including a small 96 case-
production Reserve Cab Franc. There is also a Sonoma County Merlot Ros which is a perfect holiday and cool-weather wine, though it is a delight to drink any time of the year. As Ken has said, My heart is in Zinfandel, but Im getting into Cabernet and Pinot Noir. In fact, one of the reasons we have Malbec is so we can make a classic Bordeaux-style wine. If your tasting day is not complete without a splash or two of white, they also make two Sauvignon Blancs (one from here in Alexander Valley, the other using fruit sourced from Mendocino County) and a Chardonnay, also using grapes from Alexander Valley. These wines can be sampled in the beautiful, spacious tasting room where the staff is knowledgeable, great fun and well briefed on the history of the winery and of the area. They can also give out recommendations on area restaurants (Healdsburg has become quite a culinary destination in the last decade), directions and more. It is the sort of place where within minutes you feel at home and in a few more almost like part of an extended family. As is usually the case in the Alexander Valley, the pace is unhurried but the quality ah, the quality is unmistakable. The tasting room at Soda Rock Winery is open daily from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. They are located at 8015 Highway 128, Healdsburg. For directions or for more information on the winery, their wine club, tastings and special events, call (707) 4333303, or go to their website at www.sodarockwinery.com.

Napa Valley Film Festival Presents Star-Studded Films

Napa Valley Film Festival (NVFF) Co-Founders and Directors Brenda and Marc Lhormer have announced a roster of high profile films to be screened at the inaugural film festival. Showcasing the best of new independent cinema along with the Napa Valleys finest food, wine and hospitality, NVFF makes its debut with a five-day festival spanning the Valleys four postcard-perfect towns of Napa, Yountville, St. Helena and Calistoga, November 9 through 13. The festival will begin Wednesday, November 9 with a sneak preview screening of Clint Eastwoods much-anticipated biopic, J. Edgar, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Watts and Josh Lucas. Leonardo DiCaprio stars in the title role of J. Edgar, a drama that explores the public and private life of one of the most powerful, controversial and enigmatic figures of the 20th century. The festival officially opens Thursday, November 10, with The Descendents starring George Clooney, Shailene Woodley, Judy Greer and Matthew Lillard. Directed by Alexander Payne, The Descendants follows the unpredictable journey of an American family at a crossroads when family man Matt King (George Clooney) must re-examine his past and navigate his future when his wife suffers a boating accident off Waikiki. Additional notable films headlining the NVFF include Butter, starring Jennifer Garner, Olivia Wilde, High Jackman, and Ty Burrell, a comedy set in the Midwest that uses a state fair butter carving competition to satirically discuss the diversity of American politics, and Answers to Nothing, starring Dane Cook and Julie Benz, is a graphically honest portrayal of six individuals in a captivating web of intertwining stories. The documentaries featured during the inaugural festival are as inspirational as they are diverse and include screenings of Undefeated, an intimate chronicle of three underprivileged student-athletes from inner-city Memphis and the volunteer coach trying to help them beat the odds on and off the high school football field. Other prominent documentaries include the world premiere of CTRL+ALT+COMPETE, a feature-length documentary that takes a revealing look at the technology startup and emerging business scene through the eyes of five founders and their teams; and The Other F Word, an eye-opening and wise look at veteran punk rockers as they adapt to the challenges of fatherhood. Closing out the festival is a heartbreakingly beautiful look at first love. Like Crazy directed by Drake Doremus and starring Anton Yelchin, Felicity Jones and Jennifer Lawrence follows a British college student (Felicity Jones) and her American classmate (Anton Yelchin) who embark on a passionate and life-changing journey only to be forced apart when she violates the terms of her visa. Like Crazy was the winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Picture at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and of the Special Jury Prize for Best Actress for Felicity Jones. The entire film lineup including all films in the Narrative Dramatic Competition that will be eligible for the $10,000 cash award, sponsored and presented by Meadowood Resort & Spa as well as festival passes are currently available on the website at www.napavalleyfilmfest.org.

The Napa Back Road

Visit Napas Little Sister, Sui
If this is one of your many visits to the wine country, you are no doubt looking for something a little different. So why not change things up and take the road less travelled through Suisun Valley The Napa Back Road. We all no doubt have our favorites, but we are always looking to one up our friends back home. Yes, that never ending search for something new and refreshing, but still preserving all that made you first fall in love with the whole Wine Country Experience. If you are staying in Downtown Napa, do you realize you are just approximately 15 to 20 minutes away from a valley that preserved what Napa was in the 1960s? However, the wines at such places like Vezer Family Vineyard and the Blue Victorian Winery take advantage of both the old traditions, such as 100% hand punched down wines, along with implementing the important new techniques learned from those great California winemakers over the last 50 years. This Suisun Valley has been a long-time held secret in the wine country. In fact, many of the locals try to continue this secret, simply because it is where they go to still experience those old feelings of days gone by. Suisun Valley is where you can find wines that would sell for over $150 a bottle at the popular better known tourist destinations in Napa, for $30 to $60. These same wines have 94, 95 and 97 point rankings and medals from the greatest national and international competitions! Come make your own dreams come true in Suisun (Sue-soon) Valley Napas Little Sister Sui.

Tasting Room of the Week:
Patz & Hall Winery

Crafting the Benchmark in Single Vineyard Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs By Abigail P. Zimmerman
Patz & Hall was founded in 1988 by four friends who shared the vision to create singlevineyard Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. Today, Patz & Hall has blossomed into one of the most acclaimed artisan wineries in North America. Though Patz & Hall was not the first California winery to make vineyard-designate Chardonnays and Pinots, they were one of the first to focus on introducing these wines to a broader audience. Uniquely, winemaking at Patz & Hall focuses on only two varietals (Pinot and Chardonnay) and places the spotlight on their growers. People like Charlie Chenoweth, Larry Hyde and the Pisoni family. We have always been proud of our collaborative relationships, says Anne Moses, one of the founding four. Showcasing the growers to our customers is very important for us. At a time when there are so many vineCarneros Chardonnay, 2010 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir and 2009 Chenoweth Ranch Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. For a limited time, the Patz & Hall Salon will offer an exclusive wine on this fall tasting line-up. Come be surprised!
VISIT THE SALON

Patz & Hall offers seated, private tastings by prior appointment, Wednesday through Sunday. Three seating times are available each day: 10:30 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. For a more casual Salon experience, Patz & Hall offers a seated tasting at the Salon Bar, Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., without prior reservation. Advanced notice for groups of eight or more is appreciated; phone the Salon at (707) 265-7700 ahead of your arrival. Patz & Hall, open Wednesday through Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., is located at 851 Napa Valley Corporate Way, Suite A in Napa. For more information, call (707) 2657700, email info@patzhall.com or go to the website at www.patzhall.com. Follow can Patz & Hall on Facebook and Twitter!
yard-designate wines on the shelves, people want to know what they are buying is special that it represents more than just the name of a vineyard. We have been talking about our growers and our love affairs with their vineyards for years. Those are the narratives that weave through every vintage of our wines. Working consistently for years with a core group of acclaimed vineyards has given an elegant legacy to many of the releases in the Patz & Hall portfolio.

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. The painting will be at Somerston October 15-21, at Hill Family Estates October 22-28 and at Cornerstone October 29 through November 4. For further information, visit the website at www.townofyountville.com/arts, rasart60@aol.com or (707) 696-4420.

that are a little off the beaten path; those with small production lots that arent widely distributed. Tom and Tammy Pelter purchased Calistoga Wine Stop in 1986. With their years of experience in the business, they are able to recommend wines for any occasion, for cellaring or for everyday enjoyment. They also produce their own family wine, the Pelter Cabernet Sauvignon, which is available for tasting and purchase only in their shop. Calistoga Wine Stop is able to ship world-wide and can pack wine for you to take with you to the airport. Our combination of fair pricing, personalized service and wine knowledge has helped us serve thousands of customers over the years. Its all part of their commitment to providing unique wines and a memorable time - to those who appreciate the best the world of wine has to offer. The Wine Stop is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. It is located in the center of town at 1458 Lincoln Ave. #2, Calistoga. For more information contact them at (707) 942-5556 or 1-800-648-4521, go to www.calistogawinestop.net or follow them on Facebook.

Calistoga Wine Stop for Wine Tasting, Shopping, Shipping

The unique Calistoga Wine Stop sits in the Depot, Californias oldest railroad building, dating back to the days when visitors would take the train from San Francisco to spend time here. This is a charming place to taste a broad range of wines in a great setting, surrounded by bottles stacked almost everywhere you look. To a wine lover, this is their form of Nirvana. Once you begin sampling some of the wines, many of them with labels you may never have seen before, youll soon concur. We specialize in smaller producers and from winemakers that do not have a formal tasting room of their own, said proprietor Tom Pelter. We showcase Napa and Sonomas smallest producers which show tremendous promise. Without even a hint of hyperbole, theres everything you can imagine here, from what you might think of as the iconic Napa Valley classics to wines you may suddenly call your own when you discover them at the Wine Stop. Wines youll want to share with family and friends and add to your own private cellar at home. As Tom said recently, My wife Tammy and I concentrate on wines

SONOMA VALLEY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Tasting Room of the Week:
DeLoach Vineyards
By Sue Straight, the Wine Wench
De Loach Vineyards is a very special place that you dont want to miss! Heres why: The grounds are beautiful, the wines are delicious, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the chickens and sheep are really cute. Got your attention there, huh? No, they havent added a petting zoo at De Loach Vineyards, but the winery was recently licensed as Biodynamic, hence the chickens and sheep (and also a big vegetable and flower garden). Biodynamic farming is a method of organic farming that looks upon the soil and farm as living organisms, so all things on the farm are inter-connected. For example, the sheep are used for weed control in the vineyards, the chickens provide fertilizer for the vineyards and eggs for the kitchen and the vegetable and flower garden provides produce and flowers for the events at the winery. There are several tours available: The Winery Tour is available every day at 11 a.m. and includes wine tasting; The Garden Tour & Tasting is available Saturdays and Sundays by appointment at 11 a.m. It includes an in-depth look at DeLoach wines and history and food and wine pairing in their Biodynamic garden; The Taste of Terroir at DeLoach includes a guided flight of French and American wines in their beautiful guest house and picnics and cheese pairings are available every day by appointment. For those who wish to forgo the tours, a regular wine tasting is $10 to sample a selection of five wines. The tasting room is spacious and comfortable. My first impression was of bottles, bottles everywhere! The whole wall behind the tasting bar and one other wall are covered with horizontally stacked bottles. There is a tasteful selection of wine-related merchandise artfully displayed around the room. I was very impressed by the wines I tasted. Id like to write about all of them, but only have room for a couple. Here we go 2009 Chardonnay, Durrell Vineyard, $50: One sniff and theres no doubt this is one classic Chardonnay! Aromas and flavors of baked apple, tropical fruit, buttered toast and mineral notes abound, all wrapped up in lush, balanced mouth. 2006 Pinot Noir, Le Roi, $45: This Pinot made me a little weak in the knees it is fantastic! Alluring aromas of black cherry, spice box, pipe tobacco and vanilla continue as flavors in the silky, sexy mouthfeel. Long, delicious finish. Heres something really innovative the folks at DeLoach have created a new program that they call Barrel to Barrel. Basically, its a selection of their fabulous premium wines offered in a 3L bag, which fits inside a miniature French oak barrel. Its kind of like boxed wine, but much, much better. De Loach Vineyards is located at 1791 Olivet Road, Santa Rosa and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (707) 526-9111 x109 or go to www.deloachvineyards.com.

Songwriters in Sonoma Pairs it up for its October Show

Two sets of duos will take the stage at the October performance of Songwriters in Sonoma. Maria Mandrussow and Katherine Paige will be joined by Robert and Amy Ethington for the 10th performance, and what may turn out to be the most unique show to date. Set for Thursday, October 20th at 7 p.m. at the Meadowcroft Wines tasting room at 23574 Arnold Drive/Hwy 121 (at Cornerstone Sonoma) admission is $15 per person and includes one glass of wine. This is a 21 and over show. Maria Mandrussow and Katherine Paige formed their duo in 2009, when a girl from the city and a girl from the country came together and created a shocking harmonic sound. Their lyrically driven songs combine unique and contrasting vocal harmonies with acoustic guitars giving rise to a soulful organic sound that reaches a broad mix of audiences. They draw inspiration from a wide range of genres from Indie folk and country, to rock, classical and ambient. These women bring their open minds and passionate hearts with them to every performance and will charm you both on and off the stage. Robert Ethington is a singer-songwriter whose music is creating a local buzz for its clever honesty and spirited song crafting. His first album, Growing & Dying, was released in June of this year and has been described as real music for the populous that tickles the mind while calming the soul. Robert was raised on the deep roots of gospel hymns and weekend revivals. His earliest musical memories consist of going on the road with his fathers band to sing in churches and local talent shows. Roberts wife Amy joins him with soulful harmonies at all of his shows. Our Songwriters series continues to evolve each month, with the October show being no exception, says Tom Meadowcroft, winemaker and owner of Meadowcroft Wines. I truly appreciate the support of Gerard Serafini for booking and hosting the show; Rand Rognlien, founder of MusicNomad.com for his sponsorship; and of course our tasting room staff who work tirelessly to transform the room into a musical caf each month. Cheese plates with Charcuterie will be available during the show along with glasses and bottles of wine. And now that autumn has arrived, Meadowcrofts Chef Darby may bring the Hot Pot back to the tasting room for the October show. Songwriters in Sonoma is produced by Meadowcroft Wines (www.meadowcroftwines.com) and sponsored by MusicNomad.com (www.musicnomad.com) a website created by musicians to assist all musicians at every level of the recording and performance arena. The monthly show is booked, hosted and sponsored by Gerard Serafini, owner of Sonoma Valley Music store (www.sonomavalleymusic.com). Meadowcroft Wines includes the Meadowcroft and Thomas Henry labels. New releases being poured at the tasting room include the four Sonoma County Harvest Fair award winning wines: the 2009 Meadowcroft Sonoma County Zinfandel, the 2010 Thomas Henry Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc, the 2010 Thomas Henry Napa County Pinot Noir and the 2008 Meadowcroft Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon. The tasting room is located within the Cornerstone Sonoma (www.cornerstonesonoma.com) complex that features 24 world class gardens, a gourmet caf, art galleries and cutting edge design shops all set among acres of vineyards. Meadowcroft Wines is open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The venue is available for private parties, private tastings, wine dinners and other events.

Charles Creek Vineyard Presents Photography Exhibit

A reprise exhibition of brilliant, panoramic works by local Photographer Ric Miller is now showing at the Charles Creek Vineyard Tasting Room and Gallery in downtown Sonoma. The show which, will run through November 30, 2011 is on view daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the public is invited to sip award-winning Charles Creek vintages while enjoying the colorful photographs. Ric Miller, a Sausalito floating home denizen since 1994, expresses a passion in his panoramic landscape photographs. These images allow you to step inside the captured, vibrant scenes and relive the moment in time. The collection consists of scenes of California landscapes including the eclectic Sausalito floating home community, California wine country, the wild Pacific coastline, California wildflowers, the Sierras and the deserts of the southwest. These high resolution panoramic images are a series of 12-16 individual photographs meticulously seamed
Sugarloaf Ridge, Ric Miller
via computer and printed on fine art paper or canvas. The printing process is referred to as gicle. The artwork surpasses ordinary photographs in clarity, beauty and longevity. Ric Millers roots lie in photography, having learned the art of black and white from his father, Bob. His talent in composition and print making is from his training as an architect and practice as a designer; his goals are to have his artwork become ubiquitous among fine art collectors and for his images to raise consciousness of the precious natural beauty that surrounds us. Specializing in high quality Chardonnay, Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon with a bit of Dry Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Grenache, Syrah
and Tempranillo from great vineyard sources - primarily in the Sonoma and Napa Counties - Charles Creek Vineyard produces wines that are food friendly, fruit driven and easily paired with meals. The winery Tasting Room is conveniently situated in a charming 1890s era storefront on the historic Sonoma Plaza. In addition to wine tasting and sales, the tasting room also provides space to show the work of local artists. The Charles Creek Vineyard Tasting Room and Gallery, open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., is located at 483 First St. West, on the historic Plaza in downtown Sonoma. For more information, call (707) 935-3848 or email alan@charlescreek.com.

Exclusive Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Tasting

Premier Cruz is the first exclusively Cabernet tasting of the Santa Cruz Mountains Wines. On November 13, from 3 to 7 p.m., guests will have an opportunity to sample some of the finest examples from this cool climate appellation. Several rare older vintages will be offered. Set in the historic Opera House in downtown Los Gatos, this is a perfect opportunity to meet the winemakers and taste world class wines accompanied by light appetizers. This years tasting will include library wines from many of our distinguished wineries. Two of the proposed wines to be featured will be a 1978 from Ridge Vineyards and a 1984 from Mount Eden Vineyards. yard in the foothills above Cupertino. Pierre Klein purchased 160 acres on Monte Bello Ridge naming his winery Mira Valle. This property, called Jimsomare today, is part of the Ridge Monte Bello Vineyard. In 1883, Dr. John Stewart planted Cabernet at Etha Hill in Scotts Valley, and in 1884 E.H. Rixford planted his La Questa vineyard in Woodside. La Questa is the oldest continually producing cabernet vineyard in California; its two surviving half-acre parcels are included in Woodside Vineyards Cabernet. By 1889, there were more than 100 planted acres of Bordeaux varieties in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Today, there are approximately 250 acres. The poor soils and cooler climate of these mountains are well suited to Cabernet Sauvignon. The style that results is more Euopean in structure.
Cabernet Sauvignon from the Santa Cruz Mountains

This famous grape variety first gained importance in Bordeaux in the early 19th century and reached California some sixty years later. The earliest plantings of Cabernet in the Santa Cruz Mountains appear in the late 1870's when William Pfeffer developed his vineTO SAN JOSE TO MONTEREY
