Wineology
Contrary to what you may expect, most wines today are made for
consumption while they are still young (within 1-2 years of the
vintage on the label) and will not improve much over time. In fact,
studies have found that the vast majority of wine today is consumed
within hours of purchase.
With red wines you can generally bank on an older vintage having
more complexity and smoothness than a younger vintage, especially
for age-worthy grapes, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and
blends containing these grapes. Because red wines contain agefriendly
tannins and color pigments that originate from contact with
grape skins and stems, and from aging in oak barrels, they continue to
develop and mature inside the bottle and become more drinkable over
time.
Fine red wines that are more expensive than average usually will
improve with age, whereas lower-priced wines, under around $12, are
made for more immediate consumption – within months of their
release.
The issue of vintage can be complex. There are wine vintage charts
(available as a reference resource in many wine stores) that list wine
I N T E L L I G E N C E F O R T H E W I N E C O N S U M E R
by Len Napolitano
Are older vintages always better than younger ones?
regions around the world and rate each vintage year according to its
quality, which is primarily determined by that year’s weather. Weather
in a given year is more critical in France, for example, than in the US
because wine laws in France prohibit irrigation of vines. In other
words, the quantity of water that a vine gets is not controlled by the
vineyard manager like it is in California, unless the vineyard is dryfarmed,
which does not get irrigated. What’s more, the climates in
California wine regions are fairly consistent year-to-year, making
differences between vintages less meaningful.
Red wines age according to a curve that reaches a peak of improvement
and then declines. It is an educated guess by winemakers and
wine critics as to when in the life of the wine that peak will occur.
Because white wines are absent of tannins and their preservative
characteristics, the older a white wine gets, the greater the chance that
it may be beyond its peak and on the downside slope of its “drinkability”
curve, although there are exceptions. White wines priced at
around $20 and up, however, are usually handcrafted and aged in
oak, which allows more bottle aging. This extra time in the wine cellar
can often result in a more interesting and flavorful white wine.
Len Napolitano lives in San Luis Obispo County and is certified in wine by the Society of Wine Educators,
Wine & Spirits Education Trust and Chicago Wine School and continually gains knowledge from his frequent
contact with California winemakers. More information is on his website, www.wineology.com.

More Than 250 Quality Wines
Under $25 at Wine Garage
Hidden next to a dilapidated ’40s-era former filling station on Highway 29
in Calistoga lies the Wine Garage. A unique wine shop in Napa Valley that retails
all wine in the store under $25. Sound crazy? Its true. And the proprietors Todd
and Joy Miller, have hit on a niche in the Valley that had been very missed by the
locals there.
“There are a lot of winemakers here that can’t afford to drink the wine they
make” says Miller. “That’s crazy, yes, but who can afford to drink a $65 bottle with
dinner every night?”
Many people miss The Wine Garage on the first try upvalley, but the search
is well worth it. Miller stocks wine from all of California’s wine growing regions
including fifty Napa selections and 40 from Sonoma County. When he first sought
out buying the initial inventory, “I enlisted a local farmer buddy and his 15-foot
box van and off we went all over California hunting down the deals. I tried to seek
out the small producers who didn’t have distributors so I could pass the savings
on to my customers.” And Miller did just that. His store is stocked with highquality
juice all under $25 and all are unique. Most labels in the shop are unrecognizable
– but all pass the same test; everything passes over Miller’s lips before
he makes a buy. “If I don’t love it, I don’t buy it, period. Sometimes I will taste
over a hundred wines in one day, load up the truck and haul it up to Calistoga,
unload at the store, and maybe I will crawl in bed by 3 a.m. Needless to say my
buddy bowed out of the deal after their second trip. I initially recruited him on a
‘hey lets go wine tasting in Santa Barbara’ until he realized how much work it
entailed. Poor guy, he had to be at the farm at 5 in the morning.”
It is all worth it. Millers’ customers love him. He has a unique ability to hear a
verbal description of a customer’s favorite wine and translate that into a recommendation
for sometimes a third of the cost. “I have people all over the country
that use me as their local wine shop. I ship right to their door – and the cost of the
shipping is a drop in the bucket compared to what they save on the cost of the
wine.
Miller gets deals on Napa wine too. “I have winemakers from small wineries
stop in every week saying ‘I have something that will fit into the store,’ if they only
have 15 or 25 cases of an end-of-vintage wine – I am the perfect outlet for them.”
So head up to the Wine Garage and check out the best deals in the Valley at
1020 Foothill Blvd (Hwy 29), Calistoga, CA 94515. For more information, call
(707) 942-5332. You can also check out the website at winegarage.net.

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Prohibition – The Speakeasy Wine Club Opens
Clandestine “Speakeasy-style” Wine Bar in Healdsburg
Features a Secret Entrance, Hard-to-Find Wines and Special Brews
Proprietors Richard and Kae Rosenberg of Healdsburg’s boutique
Grape Leaf Inn are pleased to announce their newest project, Prohibition
– The Speakeasy Wine Club. Scheduled to open in early March
2010 in downtown Healdsburg, the 30-seat Prohibition wine bar pays
homage to its namesake era, featuring a clandestine entrance and
offering Sonoma County’s most sought after wines by the glass, bottle
and case, and bootleg-style beer in an atmosphere reminiscent of the
20s and early 30s.
“My grandfather owned and operated a real speakeasy during
Prohibition and I was always intrigued by his stories of the fake
facades, bootleggers and revelry of that time,” said
co-owner Richard Rosenberg. “We wanted to
recreate the incognito speakeasies of the 1920s
and the camaraderie people felt during the Prohibition
era, yet incorporate an authentic wine
country atmosphere into the experience.”
The Rosenbergs saw potential in the vacant
downtown storefront on the corner of Healdsburg
Avenue and North Street, just off the historic
town plaza. Envisioned and designed by Kae
Rosenberg, the space was transformed to
resemble the clandestine taverns of the 1920s.
Prohibition appears to be a small retail storefront
with a warehouse look. Stepping in from the
sidewalk, visitors will find a shop displaying
unusual, wine-related items that are available for
purchase – ranging from charming wine country gifts and accessories
to home wine refrigerators.
Those “in the know” can access the speakeasy from the shop by
entering an antique telephone booth strategically placed at an opaque
glass back wall. Once inside the authentic reclaimed wood and tin
booth, which the Rosenbergs discovered during a Texas road trip,
guests will find a secret door that opens into a stylish, “tell-’em-Joesent-ya”
hide-away filled with merriment and an exceptional assortment
of hard-to-find wines, and 20s and 30s era-style beer.
Prohibition will feature an abundant supply of rare wines from
Sonoma County’s most distinguished producers. The speakeasy will
showcase the region’s superior expression of Burgundy wines with an
emphasis on the neighboring Russian River Valley appellation and
adjacent Dry Creek Valley, the nation’s most prominent Zinfandel
producing appellation.
Exclusive producers such as Williams-Selyem, Dehlinger, George
Wine and others who normally reserve their small-lot, handcrafted,
allocation-only wines for their devoted followers, grace the pages of
Prohibition’s wine list, offering oenophiles the opportunity to experience
coveted label wines “by-the-glass.” Another highlight will be
Prohibition’s beer list, which includes a selection of thirst-quenching
brews such as Speakeasy, White Lightning, Ales & Lagers’ Prohibition
Ale and other era-specific lagers. Prohibition’s resident mixologist,
Lara Guerra, will craft wine cocktails for those seeking a stylish spin
18
on wine.
Kae Rosenberg designed Prohibition’s décor, mixing
an array of Roaring Twenties accessories with contemporary,
modern design. Plush banquettes accented by
flowing Italian chenille drapes hint at ask-no-questions
assignations. Wine barrel heads serve as tavern tables,
while hues of honey, black and cherry energize the
warm and inviting space and add an air of mystery. The
semi-circular bar’s stained steel high-gloss finish adds to
the stylish yet informal ambience, complemented by
refurbished cement floors, restored to a distressed, deep
sienna complexion. Prohibition-era artifacts and
artwork adorn the walls, while a big screen television projects archetypal
gangster and racketeering films of the era. Music from Duke
Ellington, Bix Biederbach and other Jazz Age legends will be heard
throughout the saloon, providing the final flourish to entice modernday
flappers and gents.
Wine aficionados will also have the chance to join the exclusive
Speakeasy Wine Club, whose members will receive two bottles of
premium, award-winning wine every two months, or six bottles every
six months. The wines are selected from Prohibition’s rare cellar
collection of fine wines. Members of this specialized wine club will
also receive discounts on stays at the Rosenberg’s Grape Leaf Inn and
on wine reorders.
The Rosenbergs have been testing their Prohibition concept for
years at the Grape Leaf Inn, where overnight guests are invited to visit
the property’s exclusive speakeasy and wine cellar, accessed through a
secret door disguised as a bookcase. The response has been consistently
and overwhelmingly positive, and the Rosenbergs are now
looking forward to presenting Prohibition to a larger audience as part
of the burgeoning Healdsburg wine scene.
Prohibition is discreetly located at 340 Healdsburg Avenue at
North Street in Healdsburg, just one block north of the historic town
plaza. Hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Prohibition’s
telephone number is (707) 473-WINE (9463) and website is
www.speakeasywineclub.com.

Wooden Valley now. The wines will be a little
more accessible, in terms of body and in
tasting table with a wholly different background
and approach – and, as you’ll see,
language – to the judging and evaluating
process. I was most frustrated when I came
up against one Italian judge who wished to
give a medal to a bacteriologically-flawed
wine “to encourage the winemaker.” To
encourage him to do what? I nearly screamed:
Continue to make bad wine?
It was at another tasting in Italy that I
came across my then-new favorite tasting
term: racy. Now you might think that this
term was built with Andretti Winery in mind,
and that’s decidedly where I’m going with this
eponymous winery here in the Napa Valley.
Still, as you’ll see below – particularly with
the Pinot Grigio and the Zinfandel (a pair of
wines, curiously, with claims to an Italian
heritage) – this European textural term works
very nicely to describe the brisk, brittle,
bright nature of those two racy wines.
Winemaker Bob Pepi likes it when that
term is appended to wines he makes. “You
want the fruit to shine forth,” he says enthusiastically,
“and when you have that crispness
from the acidity it really makes the wines go
well with food. With our Pinot Grigio we aim
terms of price.”
As a winemaker, Pepi has always been
more closely attuned to his vineyards than
most. In fact, at Robert Pepi Winery he was
one of the first winegrowers to employ the
“GDC,” the Geneva Double Curtain trellis
system, originally designed for table grapes to
get more air circulation and better sun exposure
to the fruit. “We used it for our Sauvignon
Blanc and called it the ‘Two-Heart,’
which made it easier to sell our wines at
Valentine’s Day!”

northern Italy). Winemaker Pepi
captures the crisp, racy minerality
of those exemplars in this
wine, which has that brisk steely

the fruit by fermenting the grapes

Pepi.
Chardonnay 2007 Napa

adept with the French grape
Chardonnay, employing a little
malolactic fermentation here to
soften the wine, let it broaden out

apple-based fruitiness and
velvety butter-cream quality in
the texture, which makes the
wine ideal for your favorite

the fruit that much more

soul of the Napa Valley, and this
one hews close to the core of that

touch of eucalyptus spiciness for
additional complexity.

Perfect Pairs by
Maine Crab Cakes from
Celadon Restaurant Paired
with William Hill Chardonnay
Even though crab, probably the most
popular of crustaceans, exists in a great
variety of species and is virtually in season
all year, when one is looking for a really
good crab cake, or a recipe for a really good
crab cake, it can be difficult to find unless,
of course, the seeker is lucky enough to
have discovered the award-winning
Celadon Restaurant in the
Historic Napa Mill where Chef de
Cuisine Marcos Uribe works his culinary
magic.
For many cooks crab cakes are simply a
Chef Marcos Uribe
mixture of crabmeat, breadcrumbs, milk,
egg and a rather mundane sprinkling of a few common spices. Chef
Uribe is much more inventive, thanks to his training and experience
that started when he became the family shopper and cook at the age
of six in his home in Mexico City.
When he emigrated to the United States in 1989 his first job was
as a vineyard and winery worker, but he soon traded his pruning
shears for kitchen tools and a job at a local fine dining restaurant
adding Asian cooking techniques and ingredients to his skills before
moving, eventually, to the position of Chef de Cuisine at Celadon.
where, with his wide range of training and experience he has taken
Celadon’s Global Comfort Food to new levels. When Wine Country
This Week asked him to share a recipe, he graciously offered his
tempting Maine Crab Cakes with Sweet Corn and Peppers as a perfect
dish to complement the full-bodied richness and elegant flavors of the
William Hill 2007 Napa Valley Chardonnay. Each cake is coated with
breadcrumbs and fried in canola oil until it is golden brown on both
sides. For a touch of brightness the Chef suggests a whole seed
mustard sauce which may be made a day ahead and refrigerated. Serve
with the William Hill Chardonnay and enjoy the elegant aromas,
intense fruit flavors and refined acidity of this young, high quality
Napa Valley Beauty. The pairing is perfect for an early summer treat.

Carano is known for their world-class wines as well as their magnificent
gardens, and spring is the perfect time to visit. Sip newly released
wines while enjoying thousands of tulips, daffodils, flowering trees
and other awe-inspiring flora in full bloom.
Villa Fiore (“House of Flowers”) is the winery’s magnificent hospitality
center. Upon entering, guests immediately feel the warm Italian
ambiance of this elegant tasting room. Visitors may enjoy a sampling
of Classic and Villa Fiore wines in the wine shop, or head down to the
cellar and the Enoteca to sample reserve and limited release selections

wines, collector red wines including Tresor and PreVail wines, as well
as dessert late-harvest wines.
For a more in-depth wine tasting experience, private tastings are
available by appointment that highlight the many nuances of wine in
a fun and informative style. The tastings are hosted by an experienced
wine educator and include Matchmaker, where participants sample
four wines paired with delicious, seasonal small bites; Pick of the
Bunch, which walks guests through an in-depth tasting of five wines
of their choice and is tailored to cover any wine-related topics about
which participants have always wanted to know; Scentiments

gardener extraordinaire Rhonda Carano and Head Gardener Pat Patin.

bridges along a rippling stream captured at both ends by waterfalls
that flow into fish-filled ponds. Bronze sculptures by world-renowned
artists and two rare Portuguese cork trees dot the landscape. The over

Winemaker Profile:
Zina Hyde Cunningham Winery
STEVE
LEDSON
by Abigail Zimmerman
Steve Ledson, winemaker and owner can be easily described: Determined.
Dedicated. Extraordinary visionary!
A fifth-generation Sonoma County farmer, Steve Noble Ledson
spent the first part of his career building a successful residential development
business in Sonoma County. Steve originally sold the Merlot
from his estate vineyard to several local wineries, but was convinced
by St. Francis winemaker Tom Mackey that the fruit was so special, he
should instead bottle and sell the estate Merlot under the Ledson
family name. Steve was hooked. In 1997 the Ledson winery released
its first vintage, the 1994 Estate Merlot to broad, critical acclaim. Since
then, Steve has overseen all vineyard and winemaking decisions;
concentrating his efforts on small lots that showcase the varietals and
terroir diversity of Sonoma County.
In 2004, Steve Ledson joined his cousin Bill in their dream of
reopening the old family winery which closed its doors during prohibition
and the family took up farming orchards. Just as their greatgrandfather
had been drawn to the beauty of Mendocino County, so
were Steve and Bill. They decided on Boonville in the lovely Anderson
Valley and set out on finding the best vineyards around to source
grapes from. In 2004, Steve and Bill were finally doing what their
great-grandfather had done nearly 150 years ago, making wine under
their old family name. Today, Steve is the critically acclaimed winemaker
and owner of the Zina Hyde Cunningham Winery.
Specializing in small-lot production of ultra-premium wines, Zina
Hyde Cunningham winery is a “must see” destination. It’s easy to see
why. Vineyard sites are carefully selected for the best climate and soil
composition for a particular varietal. Once the grapes are carefully
handpicked, they are fermented and aged in 100% new French Oak
barrels. The resulting wine is both memorable and delicious.
Offering Russian River Valley & Mendocino County Sauvignon
Blanc, Mendocino County Chardonnay (91 pts.), Anderson Valley
Gewurztraminer, Russian River Valley Riesling, Sonoma County Rose,
Anderson Valley & Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, Mendocino
County Zinfandel (90 pts.), Lake County Merlot, Lake County
Cabernet Franc, Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon, High Valley
Barbera (91 pts.), Lake County Petite Sirah (94 pts.), and blends
Cepage and Veola, as well as two dessert wines, Zina Hyde
Cunningham winery has a wine to suit everyone’s palate. Plus, the
number of gold and silver medals these wines have been awarded
could fill a pirate’s treasure chest!
In terms of vineyards, Zina Hyde boasts more than 5,500 acres in
the famed Anderson Valley. More than 100 acres of this will be
replanted in the coming years.
Once planted, the Zina Hyde Winery team believes that it is vital to
build the new vine up two to three years, allowing the rootstock and
cordon to fully realize themselves before allowing the vine into full
fruit production. Ledson keeps the fruit yields exceedingly low during
these formulative years so the vine’s energy goes into the root systems.
One key to Zina Hyde’s wines is this process of slow maturation in
combination with limited watering followed by dry farming. This
strengthening of the vine “builds better color, more complexity, and
more intensity, resulting in wines deep and rich in character.”
It is true that the best wines start in the vineyard. “To make a great
bottle of wine, you have to have exceptional fruit,” explains Ledson.
The result of this careful, exacting work? Simply one of the best
Pinots in the world!
In 2010, Zina Hyde Cunningham Winery will be planting 30 new
acres of Pinot Noir. The first vintage will be available for sale in 2014.
Think that’s a long way off? Not in terms of wine. In fact, insiders-inthe-know
are already a-buzz about this upcoming release. But at Zina
Hyde, the first release is always given to club members. It’s the winery’s
way of saying “thank you” to loyal fans and customers.
Wines are also made available to order from the Zina Hyde
Cunningham’s website at www.zinawinery.com.
Visit Zina Hyde on your next trip to Anderson Valley! Open daily
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in downtown Boonville on Hwy 128 next to
The Boonville General Store and across the street from The Boonville
Hotel.

Charming. The word lures
many people in and I must say,
in every sense, that the
Brannan Cottage Inn in Calistoga,
at the northern end of the
Napa Valley, is endearingly
charming.
Start with the fact that you
are probably going to be met
first by a black, white and brown
Jack Russell Terrier. Not known
as the most laid back breed of
dog, the Brannan Cottages Inn’s
greeter is so laid back that
people, myself included,
wonder if he was even a Jack
Russell Terrier. But Pinot Grigio, as he is known, is, though he does
not seem to be too wild about blue jays and squirrels. Go figure.
The property itself (Pinot Grigio aside) is a historic treasure and
is so designated. The six rooms are charming – each with their own
bathroom, one with a claw foot bath tub, all with in-room refrigerator,
and two mini-suites with sitting rooms – are spacious,
charming (yes, that word again) and quiet.
That quiet comes from being on a mostly residential side street
off of one of Calistoga’s two main streets. Pets are welcome in most
of the rooms (tell them if you are allergic) and be sure to take full
advantage of the concierge-like service that comes with the very
reasonable tariff. The owners have full racks of information of area
wineries, such as Cuvaison, Vincent Arroyo, Lava Vine Winery
and Graeser (all personal favorites), restaurants and local attractions.
Don’t be shy: Ask as many questions as you can think of. Doug
and Judy Cook, owners and innkeepers are all around nice Napa
Valley people, and owners of Pinot Grigio, of course. Which means
they are both patient and understanding. Especially with their
guests, and isn’t that what you want? Plus, they have great relationships
with local businesses that provide great added value to
their guests with the savings they offer at local restaurants, spas and
wineries.
Then there is breakfast, prepared by Judy, which is delicious and
perfect fare to get you prepared for a day of spa treatments, which
Calistoga is famous for with its historic hot mineral springs, or the
400-plus wineries in the Napa Valley. On Friday evenings local
winemakers pour their best, accompanied by Judy’s hors d’oeuvres.
Does it get better than that? And Pinot Grigio will keep you
company. Unless a blue jay or squirrel shows up. Then he is busy.
But what your really need to do is visit. The Brannan Cottage

Solano County’s Biggest Party is About to Get Bigger & Better
The 23rd Annual Solano Wine & Food Jubilee – the primary fundraising
event for NorthBay Hospice & Bereavement programs –
returns to the Nut Tree Complex in Vacaville on April 23, where it will
be held under an even bigger tent than ever before.
The area’s premiere food and wine tasting event will feature, as it
always has, an irresistible array of sweet and savory samplings from
some of the area’s most notable wineries, breweries, restaurants and
merchants. But, this year’s larger venue means even more vendors will
participate in this gourmand’s gala, providing ticket-holders with a
wider selection of foods, wines, brews and desserts.
The bigger tent comes courtesy of the Total Home & Garden Show,
which will be held at the Nut Tree the week before the Jubilee. Total
Home & Garden Show organizers offered to support the Jubilee by
leaving their tent in place and offering it to Jubilee organizers. “We’re
so pleased to be able to team with the Total Home & Garden Show in
this way,” noted Brett Johnson, NorthBay Healthcare Foundation president.
“This larger tent and greater number of vendors means our
ticket holders will receive more for the ticket price, even though the
price has not changed in years.”
The Nut Tree’s iconic carousel and train are popular attractions for
families. After a spin on the carousel or ride on the train, many choose

to visit the shops and eateries that are part of the Nut Tree.
In addition to the tempting tastes offered by food, wine and brew
vendors, ticket-holders will have a hard time resisting the salsa beat of
dance band sensation Sapo Guapo. Others may find perusing the array
of items in a silent auction more to their liking. A raffle, for $20,000
in cash prizes, is on tap again this year and is a highly anticipated part
of the evening.
The Solano Wine & Food Jubilee benefits the NorthBay Hospice &
Bereavement programs. These services, available to all, regardless of
their ability to pay, include access to an integrated program of physical,
emotional and spiritual care for the terminally ill, allowing these
patients – and their families – to live their final days as peacefully and
as comfortably as possible.
The Solano Wine & Food Jubilee, a black tie-optional affair, gets
under way on the grounds of Nut Tree Complex beginning at 6:30
p.m. Tickets, for those ages 21 and over, must be purchased in
advance and are $75 each. To purchase tickets, call (707) 646-3133,

Passport Sunday Previews Wineries, Benefits Hospice
Five Suisun Valley wineries will open their doors again for Passport
Sunday, a special tasting tour that has become a popular
precursor to the Solano Wine & Food Jubilee.
Passport Sunday takes place on April 18, the Sunday before the
Wine & Food Jubilee. During this event, five wineries pair with five
area restaurants, to offer Passport Sunday ticket-holders not only an
introduction to the wineries of Suisun Valley and restaurants of the
area, but a hint of what awaits should ticket-holders also attend the
23rd Annual Solano Wine & Food Jubilee. The Jubilee will be held
on April 23 at the Nut Tree in Vacaville, and more than 125
wineries, breweries and restaurants are expected to be on hand for
this fund-raising event that benefits the programs of NorthBay
Hospice & Bereavement.
“Passport Sunday is a great opportunity for people to visit some
wineries not always open to the public, and it gives us the chance
to showcase what Suisun Valley has to offer,” says Ron Lanza, of
Wooden Valley Winery, and chairman of the Vintners Committee.
www.WineCountryThisWeek.com
“It also benefits NorthBay Hospice, as a portion of the proceeds
from Passport Sunday will be donated to it.”
Passport Sunday tickets are limited and must be purchased at
participating wineries. Call ahead for ticket availability as organizers
expect the event to be sold out.
Tickets are $25 for a wine tasting passport and $15 for designated
driver tickets. The event is April 18, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
For information on tickets, go to www.suisunvalleywines.com or
call Wooden Valley Winery at (707) 864-0730.
Here are the wineries and the restaurants that have teamed up
for this delicious day in Suisun Valley:
• Ledgewood Creek Winery and Vintage Caffe
• Suisun Valley Wine Cooperative and Cucina Italiana
• Tenbrink Winery and Vineyards and Athenian Grill
• Wooden Valley Winery and Canepa Delicatessen
• Winterhawk Winery and The Clubhouse at Rancho

New Releases from Trinchero Napa Valley
Winemakers around the world will tell you that it’s the land that
makes the wine. In the end, technique and skill can only take a wine
so far. The real magic and the soul of a wine begins in the vineyard.
Trinchero Napa Valley stands as a testament to that belief. When it
comes to creating unforgettable, terroir-driven wines, Napa Valley is
surprisingly diverse for its small size. At Trinchero Napa Valley, they
are incredibly fortunate to own estates in some of the Valley’s most
distinguished appellations, including Mt. Veeder, Atlas Peak, St. Helena
and Rutherford. Each of the estates showcases a unique confluence of
soils, geography and microclimates that in turn produce grapes of
uncommon character, depth and complexity. The wines are all estategrown,
Bordeaux varietals and predominantly single-vineyard; wines
with a sense of place.
“I’m a minimalist,’’ says Winemaker Mario Monticelli, “My goal is
to bring forth the best expression of the fruit and the land from which
it’s grown. I spend a lot of time in the vineyard and by the time the
grapes make it to the winery at harvest my job is really 70% done.’’
In March 2010, Trinchero Napa Valley unveiled its latest releases:
the 2007 Haystack Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, 2007 Signature
Cabernet Sauvignon and 2009 Mary’s Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc.
Haystack Vineyard Cabernet is produced exclusively from fruit
grown atop Atlas Peak, one of Napa Valley’s highest appellations. This
cool climate vineyard is steep and rocky and the vines are stressed and
produce small, intensely concentrated berries. The resulting wine is a
powerhouse Cabernet, intensely purple, layered and lusciously rich.
“It’s a true mountain Cab,’’ Monticelli said. “Firm tannins are gracefully
balanced by luscious ripe black fruit flavors and nuances of coffee,
baking spice and cocoa.”
The 2007 Signature Cabernet, unlike most of our wines, is a blend
Winemaker Mario Monticelli
from several of our best Cabernet vineyards. In
2007, the components include Altas Peak, Mount
Veeder and St. Helena. Bearing the autograph of
founder Mario Trinchero, Signature represents
their best Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
blend. Winemaker Mario Monticelli meticulously
evaluates every barrel and only those
with superior aromatics and flavor intensity
become potential candidates for the
Signature wine. Extremely limited in
production, the 2007 Signature blend is
comprised of approximately sixteen
hand-selected barrels .
The final wine in the 2009 Spring
release line-up is the 2009 Mary’s Vineyard
Sauvignon Blanc. Mary’s Vineyard is
located in the newly recognized Calistoga
AVA. “This is the first vineyard the
family purchased and a tribute to
founder Mary Trinchero,” Monticelli
said. “I do minimal winemaking –
entirely stainless steel and no malolactic
fermentation to preserve the bright tropical
fruit characteristics.’’
The Trincheros own more than 200
acres of estate vineyards in prime Napa
Valley appellations, including St.
Helena, Mount Veeder, Rutherford,
Calistoga and Atlas Peak. North of the
34 www.WineCountryThisWeek.com

Continued
town of St. Helena, the new 22,000-square-foot winery is a
magical spot in Napa Valley and also home to Mario’s vineyard,
a state-of-the-art culinary center, historic tasting room and
picnic area.
Tastings, available daily in the newly renovated tasting room,
are $15 per person for a flight of four current releases and $20 for
a Cabernet Sauvignon comparative tasting.
Seminars are available daily by appointment at 10 a.m., 1 and
3 p.m. The Sensory Challenge is an introduction to wine’s
aromatic makeup, highlighted by the playing of the Le Nez du Vin
aroma challenge and a sit-down tasting of current releases. The
cost is $35 per person; limited to six guests.
A Taste of Terroir is a horizontal tasting of four Trinchero Napa
Valley single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons and an introduction
to the appellations of Napa Valley. Learn how a vineyard’s site can
impact the wine. The cost is $40 per person; limited to six guests.
Both seminars include a tour and last approximaely 90
minutes.
Trinchero Napa Valley is located at 3070 North St. Helena
Highway in St. Helena. The telephone number for the tasting
room and reservations is (707) 963-1160. Visit the winery

For more information, email Beth at beth@summerswinery.com or

call her at (707) 942-5508, ext. 202.
The fact that sometimes you can see Calistoga’s Old Faithful geyser
blow off its hourly ration of steam just over the hedge from the
Summers Estate tasting room is only a slight added attraction. The
main attraction and the reason people visit this beautiful boutique
winery in the wilder, northernmost reaches of the Napa Valley almost
at the foot of the Palisades, is to be found in the glass. And, of course,
in the wine aging in the oak barrels at this country winery with its
picture perfect setting.
Surrounding the winery are almost two dozen acres of vines. They
include the Villa Andriana Vineyard, planted with Zinfandel, the very
rare Charbono (it is said there are less than a hundred acres planted in
the entire world) and the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that go into a
premium wine named after the daughter of owners Jim and Beth
Summers. Called Andriana’s Cuvee, this deep, rich and complex wine
has been an award winner since the very first vintage.
The tasting room at Summers Estate Wines is open every day from
10:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. It is located at 1171 Tubbs Lane just a few
minutes north of Calistoga. For more information or directions, give
them a call at (707) 942-5508 or go go www.summerswinery.com.

Opening Ceremony Celebrates Napa Valley Museum’s New History Gallery
The Napa Valley Museum is celebrating
the opening of its new History Gallery with a
ribbon-cutting ceremony, Saturday, April 10
from 2 to 4 p.m. on the museum grounds.
Located at 55 Presidents Circle in
Yountville, the Napa Valley Museum currently
features changing art exhibitions and permanent
history collections. The opening of the
newly-developed history gallery showcases
the permanent exhibit “Land and People of
the Napa Valley” with rare artifacts on display
for the first time in 25 years.
“We are thrilled to bring many of our
collections out of storage and to have this
wonderful gallery space available for display,”
said Tina Blakeney, interim executive director.
“The space also allows for more changing
history exhibitions during the year, so we can
present theme-based exhibitions with a
variety of objects from our collection.”
Visitors will have the chance to see the
extraordinary collection of Suiseki “viewing
stones” known for their beauty featuring
images of chrysanthemums and other designs
formed naturally in the stones.
38
The Children’s Exploration Center invites
children to learn about the art, history and
environment of the region through hands-on
exploration of objects including an assortment
of objects found in the museum’s
popular Trunk Program displays.
The History Gallery opening also features
the announcement of a contribution given to
the Napa Valley Museum by AT&T to fund
the educational outreach van that brings
trunk programs and museum artifacts to
5,000 schoolchildren annually.
“At AT&T, we're committed to making a
real difference in the communities where we
live and work, especially by supporting innovative
educational programs that inspire and
enrich the lives of youth,” said Rheunette

Local Artists Showcase Their Work at Wineries
This April and May, the Wine Road will be partnering with Art at
the Source for its annual art and wine program. The special “Art at the
Wineries” event will feature local Sonoma area painters, sculptors,
photographers, potters, jewelers, fiber artists and glass artists on
display at more than 30 Wine Road members’ tasting rooms. This
preview is a two-month event leading up to the 16th annual “Art at the
Source Open Studios,” a self-guided, open-studio event that is held
the first two weekends in June. The Sebastopol Center for the Arts, a
grassroots, nonprofit arts center created in 1988 by a coalition of art,
business, and community members to provide art programs and
services for all sectors of the community, is the sponsor for “Art at the
Source Open Studios”.
“We are excited to once again be able to showcase beautiful local
art with our winery members,” says Beth Costa, executive director of
the Wine Road. “Visitors are given the opportunity to enjoy Sonoma
County’s visual arts, along with award-winning wines for which this

weekend to experience art in the wine country. Visitors can access information
on the “Art at the Wineries” event through www.wineroad.com,
including participating wineries and artists, lodging, shopping, dining
options, and more. World-class wineries, distinguished California
cuisine and a flourishing artist scene – all set against the beautiful backdrop
of Sonoma County’s landscape – make for an unforgettable
getaway as Wine Road and Art at the Source celebrate art appreciation.

13th Annual Sonoma International Film Festival

the most creative scientific minds of the past 50 years. He is the

Academy Award winner, The Cove.
The Joneses, starring Demi Moore, David Duchovny and Lauren
Hutton, has been chosen as the Closing Night film and will screen on
Sunday the 18th. The Joneses concerns the perfect American couple,
who move into a suburban neighborhood. With their conspicuous
good looks, perfect marriage and financial achievement, they’re the
ideal…until the truth starts oozing out.
Other highlights include the Sundance Festival hit, Douchebag –a
low budget feature, as original as it is hilarious and the Canadian film,
Smoke and Ashes, winner of the Jury Award for Best Feature at Slamdance.
The festival is – being Sonoma, after all – about more than just the
worship of celluloid. Food and wine – will also be the order of the
day. The premiere venue will remain the historic Sebastiani Theater,
and the newest venue, Ramekins, will feature gourmet food and wine,
elegant café seating and culinary themed films. Presentations will
include Eating Alaska (the Alaska Wilderness League is providing the
salmon), and the locally produced, Pinot Escape from Wall Street. A
classic Fred MacMurray film will be followed by a Q&A with his
daughter, Kate, and a tasting of MacMurray Ranch wines. The New
Belgium Indie Lounge will be housed at the Sonoma Community
Center. The SCC venue will feature New Belgium beers and truly independent
movies.
The Sonoma Valley Woman’s Club will once again become the
House of Docs, showing world premiere documentaries as well as high
profile documentaries from around the world.
Behind City Hall on the Plaza will be The Back Lot, a large enclosure
with a living room environment featuring great local food and
wine.
A serious festival brings not only films but filmmakers to its audience.
“From Script to Screen” will feature a lively panel discussion by
experts on all aspects of filmmaking. Also on Saturday, April 17, is the
popular Pitch Panel.

Ledson Winery Honors Baseball Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda
Hot on the heels of Opening Day for the 2010 baseball season,
Ledson Winery unveils its newest wine collaboration featuring
legendary former baseball player and Hall of Famer, Orlando Cepeda.
Cepeda will be at Ledson Winery on April 17 from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m.
signing his commemorative bottles for baseball fans, Ledson visitors
and Ledson wine club members. Proceeds from the sale of Ledson’s
“Baby Bull” Zinfandel will benefit the local Harmony Foundation for
Children as well as the San Francisco Junior Giants Program.
Orlando Cepeda, known on the field as the “Baby Bull,” was one of
the first Latino baseball players to enter the major leagues. He was the
unanimous Rookie of the Year playing for the San Francisco Giants in
1958. A seven-time All Star, Cepeda was the Comeback Player of the
Year in 1966 as well as the unanimous National League MVP in 1967.
He has appeared in three World Series, is the first Latino to win home
run and RBI titles and was the first player to sign an exclusive designated
hitter contract. After 17 years in the Major Leagues, Cepeda was
elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999. Orlando Cepeda and
Roberto Clemente are the only two Puerto Ricans in the Hall of Fame.
“I met Steve Ledson at the event he held for Dwight Clark at Ledson
winery. I tasted his wines and we discussed a joint project. We have
been friends ever since,” exclaimed Cepeda. “We both feel very strongly
about raising money for kids, plus we really enjoy the wine we made!”
Since his retirement from baseball, Orlando Cepeda has given his
time to charities. He is known for his humanitarian efforts on behalf of

children, working with the Crohns and Colitis Foundation of America
and as a baseball ambassador. Steve Ledson found a kindred spirit in
Cepeda through his thoughtful and selfless actions over the past few
decades. As a tribute to Cepeda’s generosity and compassion, Ledson
is introducing the “Baby Bull” Zinfandel. Cepeda’s “Baby Bull”
Zinfandel is the fourth bottling of the Harmony Collection Wines. “We
are very excited to be playing ball with Orlando,” enthused winery
owner and philanthropist Steve Ledson. “As a big fan of the game and
of the on-field talents of Orlando Cepeda we are thrilled he is joining
us for this great fundraising event and supporting the youth programs
we support through the Harmony Foundation.”
Previous high-profile celebrity humanitarians to be honored
include: singer Michael McDonald, actor Jeff Bridges, San Francisco
49er Dwight Clark, and now baseball Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda.
All proceeds from the Harmony Collection Wines have gone to youth
related organizations.
There is a signature fee of $15 for Ledson wine club members and
$20 for the general public. Baseballs will be available for signing with
a case purchase. The cost for “Baby Bull” Zinfandel is $68 per bottle
and the wine is available in advance (signed or unsigned) at the
Ledson Online Store at www.ledson.com. Cepeda will also be the
honored guest at a special dinner held at the winery at 7 p.m. Cost for
the dinner is $125 and seating is very limited. Reservations for dinner
can be made on a first-come basis by call Beverly at (707) 537-3829.

Tasting Room of the Week:
CLINE CELLARS
by Abigail P. Zimmerman
Every visitor to Sonoma and Napa Valleys must stop at Cline
Cellars. It’s as simple as that.
One of my favorite destinations for visiting loved ones, Cline
Cellars embodies the best of relaxed and gracious Sonoma hospitality.
Our treasured Sonoma Valley is known for many things, chief of
which is good food, bucolic countryside, history and great wine.
Cline, embodies all of the above.
Cline Cellars sits just off Hwy 121, across from Jacuzzi Family
Vineyards, at the very mouth of Carneros. The Cline family’s 1850s
farmhouse operates now as the charming tasting room. This historic
property was once the site of a Miwok Village and the first camp of the
Sonoma Mission. Today, it is filled with jovial guests and approachable,
knowledgeable staff. You will find none of the pretention of a
more formal winery but all of the phenomenal wines and wine educators
for which you could ask. While there is often a large number of
guests at one time, Cline Cellars and staff manage to make each party
feel at home in this cozy, delightful farmhouse.
The Cline Cellars complimentary tasting specializes in Rhône varietals
and Zinfandels. While you can taste five wines for free, there are
more than ten to choose from! Three of Cline’s new releases not to be
missed include:
2008 California Viognier, California (Silver medal winner, 2010
San Francisco Wine Competition; $12 per bottle) The best wine you
have ever tried! Think of peach and apricot with floral notes. This
Viognier is an ideal match for Dungeness crab or spicy Asian dishes
such as Thai foods, Indian curry or Dim Sum.
2007 Cashmere, California ($21 per bottle) – This unique wine
52
is a classic Rhone blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. Due to
the 3 varietals that make up the silky delicate blend, it is commonly
called a "GSM." Ardent fans insist this stands for "Gimme Some
More." Wrap your taste buds in Cashmere!
2008 Ancient Vines Mourvèdre, Contra Costa County ($18 per
bottle) – This extraordinary wine, from vines more than 100 years old,
could well become your new favorite. Savor the deep plum and dark
chocolate flavors.
Sustainable Vineyards
Since 2000, Cline Cellars farms the Green String way – naturally
and sustainably and avoids chemical pesticides, fungicides and fertilizers
that are generally used in everyday farming. Cline believes in
utilizing the most efficient methods towards retaining healthy vineyards
by employing the use of organic cover crops, compost teas,
crushed volcanic rock and oyster shell, natural mined sulfur and
sheep grazing.
Once each year Cline Cellars reduces vineyard cultivation and
degradation by providing their soil with organic matter to help retain
soil structure, water infiltration and microbial activity. Composting
throughout the vineyards with nourishment derived from natural
products such as grape pumice, vine prunings and other mature
organic material that are mixed and nurtured all year, helps to improve
the texture and depth of the soil and also provides needed sustenance
to the vine.
About Cline
In the latter part of the 1800s, Oakley, Contra Costa County was a
booming farming community with thousands of acres of orchards and
www.WineCountryThisWeek.com

healthy vineyards. Fred Cline’s maternal grandfather, Valeriano Jacuzzi
of pump and spa fame, called this place home. On summer visits to
his grandparents, Fred learned both the love of agricultural life and
the mysteries of vinifying grapes into wine. These lessons led Fred to
obtain a degree in Agriculture Management from U.C. Davis. In 1982,
with an inheritance from his grandfather, Fred founded Cline Cellars
near Oakley, California. Here, he preserved and restored many ancient
vine sites to their rightful reign as premier California wine lands.
In 1991, Fred and his wife Nancy relocated the winery from
Oakley to the Carneros region of Sonoma County on a historic 350acre
estate with new vineyards and facilities. While much of the cool
Carneros region is planted to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Merlot,
Fred pioneered the planting of Rhône varietals including Syrah, Viognier,
Marsanne and Roussanne. Fred’s innovation and experimentation
led to producing rich, distinctive Rhône-style wines and intense,
flavorful Zinfandels for which he has garnered enormous acclaim.
In addition to tasting phenomenal wines and walking Cline’s
lovely grounds, visitors are in for a treat! Cline Cellars hosts the California
Missions Museum. Free of charge and educational for all ages,
the museum tells the story of the fabled California Missions. Beginning
in 1769 and for the next 50 years, Spanish Missions were built
along California’s “El Camino Real.” Spanning 650 miles from San
Diego to Sonoma, the El Camino Real and the Missions that occupy it
are a rare legacy of California history.
In 1939, a full collection of California Mission Models made their
debut at the World’s Fair at Treasure Island. All were designed to scale,
are faithful representations of the original missions, and are finely
detailed down to the shrubbery and the figures utilized. As a collection,
the models are acclaimed as an extraordinary and accurate depiction
of California history. In 1998, the Cline Family saved the models
from being auctioned off individually, and in 2005 created the
museum as a fitting showcase for these historical treasures. Hours of
operation are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Not to be Missed!
Cline Cellars 14th Annual Dixieland Jazz Festival, Saturday, July
17, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Come and enjoy great music, dancing, delicious

SONOMA VALLEY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
4th Annual Passport to Sonoma Valley, May 15-16
The Ultimate “Destination” Weekend Featuring
More than 50 Sonoma Valley Wineries and Grape Growers
Tickets are now on sale for the fourth annual Passport to Sonoma
Valley, taking place May 15th and 16th from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at
wineries and vineyards throughout historic Sonoma Valley. From food
and wine aficionados to those looking for a unique, close-to-home
“travel” experience, Passport to Sonoma Valley swings open the cellar
doors of California’s oldest and most coveted artisan wineries in celebration
of Sonoma’s food, wine and arts scene. Visitors to the valleywide
open house will be issued a “passport,” providing them unprecedented
access to the wines and wineries of California’s oldest wine
region, including special pricing and exclusive wine offers.
Tickets for Passport to Sonoma Valley are: $90/weekend, $70/
Sunday-only and $25/designated driver when purchased in advance
or $100/weekend and $80/Sunday-only and $25/designated driver
when purchased at the event (subject to availability). On the day of the
event, ticket holders, and those wishing to purchase tickets must
check in at one of four designated “start” locations – including Viansa
Winery & Marketplace, Sebastiani Vineyards & Winery, Valley of the
Moon Winery and St. Francis Winery & Vineyards – to receive their
passport and complimentary wine glass. For tickets or more information,
visit www.SonomaValleyWine.com or call (707) 935-0803.
Passport to Sonoma Valley is kicking off their fourth year and the
unofficial start of the tourist season with a very exciting “behind the
scenes” opportunity for Passport holders. Due to last year’s success of
this component of the event, participating wineries are partnering
with their growers to provide the ultimate tasting experience; pouring
their best wines on site in the vineyards where the grapes were
sourced. In addition to feeling an even greater connection between
the “grape and the glass,” Passport attendees will enjoy the rare – and
often breathtaking - opportunity to taste among the vines of Sonoma’s
most exclusive vineyards, not normally open to the public.
Passport to Sonoma Valley provides a unique opportunity to go
beyond the traditional tourist experience; to discover the people,
places and wines that make Sonoma Valley one of the world’s great
wine regions. This journey of discovery will take passport holders off
the beaten path to tiny cult wineries not normally open to the public,
to historic estates that ushered in the California wine industry and to
the many family-owned and operated wineries that define Sonoma’s
“farm to table” culture. Each winery will showcase the very best of
their current release, library wines and special bottlings, food pairings
and entertainment. Special discounts and after hours shopping will
also be part of the two celebration.
Visit www.SonomaValleyWine.com to see the list of participating
wineries – updated regularly – along with activities planned for this
year’s Passport to Sonoma Valley.

finish. Slightly chilled, this Rosé is the ultimate wine to kick off the
warm weather season and celebrate Mom.

intimate inn nestled amidst rows of grapevines in Napa Valley,
California’s Wine Country. Her decadent breakfasts have become
California legend and attract visitors from all over the world.

on April 17th, begin a new adventure to experience the greatness of
the wines produced in this appellation, spend a wonderful day at
the wineries in the company of winemakers’ and bring home some
great wine to treasure and share with friends for any special occasion!
Santa Cruz Mountains Wines & Passports make wonderful gifts.

(and of course will not be available there for sampling). Special
prices are also often available during passport.

MONTEREY/CENTRAL COAST | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Wineries are Going Green for April Passport
by Laura Ness
Is there anything so brilliantly green as a newly leafing vineyard in
the full throttle of spring? If you have never seen the tender shoots
putting forth on the vines, get thee to a vineyard post-haste. Not only
are the wildflowers at their peak, but you will literally be able to watch
the tiny shoots open and put forth leaves, over the course of an hour
or two. Magical.
But this magical time can be very deceptive, says viticulturist Prudy
Foxx. “Amidst all this spectacular greenery lurks the ever-present
danger of pests. From gophers to mold to weeds, this is not the time
to be complacent if you are a grower!” she has a very philosophical
approach to vineyard maintenance, urging growers to grab a glass of
wine from their 2009 vintage and walk the vineyard, enjoying the
beauty of the new spring growth, vigilantly looking for signs of
encroachment from the evil elements that seek to undermine the
health of the vines. “Spraying needs to be done for mold abatement,
and weeds need to be controlled. Frost is also a constant worry, and
the higher you are, the worse it can be. Those little dips and swales
are especially vulnerable,” Prudy notes. The Summit area is a nail biter,
especially in April: closer to the sun doesn’t mean you can skate past
Jack Frost.
Going Green:
Every Day is Earth Day
All of the Summit Trail
Wineries are going green for April.
Hunter Hill will be switching to
lighter glass, and is investigating
new capsules that eliminate lead
and foil. Burrell School has
already begun to bottle with glass at half the weight, saving in shipping
costs all around, They’ll also be dropping the heavy lead capsules
in favor of polylaminate, which is more easily recyclable. Vine Hill
plans to print their labels on recycled paper made from 30% post
consumer waste, and will be looking at further eco-options in their
packaging. Lighter glass can save upwards of 4 tons per truckload,
reducing carbon footprint, fuel and resource consumption and costs.
Going with lighter glass is one of the most significant steps any winery
can take in truly being green and smart.
April 17 is Passport in the Mountains, a good time to visit all the
wineries participating, including Silver Mountain and Vine Hill, both
open the third Saturday of each month. In the spirit of Green, the
Summit Trail wineries are teaming together to offer an eco-tote with
logos of the Summit area wineries on them so you can easily give
someone a “Taste of the Summit” in a unique gift bag that will enable
them to find their way to these wineries to obtain a refill.
Loma Prieta has lots to celebrate, with three gold medals for its
awe-inspiring Pinotage. They will be grafting some of the estate Merlot
and Cabernet vines over to Pinotage later this spring, as well as
planting some new vines. This is the first vineyard in the US to grow
both Pinot Noir and Pinotage.
Poetic Cellars will feature the “Ballad” Bordeaux blend. This wine
follows a very precise line in its faithful replication of proper
Bordeaux. It’s a totally harmonic balance of Cabernet and Merlot, with
a 10% dollop of Cabernet Franc to complete the balance of power. It’s
also amazingly low in alcohol for a wine from Livermore: or a
Cabernet of any kind from California. At 13.5%, it has restraint and
balance, with lovely notes of lavender, dark cassis, caraway and
tarragon, layered with cured Westphalian ham and spicy green olives.
