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<br />

Is “white wine with fish, red wine with meat”<br />

still the rule when pairing food with wine?<br />

For some people, the task of pairing wine with food becomes a<br />

study in the seemingly unlimited complexities of wine and food<br />

anatomy. However, the simple rule of pairing white wines with fish<br />

and red wines with meat serves as a good starting point for anyone<br />

who enjoys wine with their meals. Of course, you can feel free to<br />

break this golden rule and still create a great food-and-wine<br />

experience. Two of my favorite exceptions to this rule are salmon with<br />

Pinot Noir, and pork with lightly-oaked or unoaked Chardonnay.<br />

When choosing a wine that matches well with food, rule number<br />

one is that your own personal wine preference overrides all other<br />

rules. So, if you absolutely love merlot, even with the most delicate<br />

fish dish, then go ahead and drink it regardless of what you are<br />

eating. If, however, you want to experience a marriage between food<br />

and wine that in some cases can be described as heavenly, it may be<br />

worthwhile to consider this golden rule of wine and food pairing and<br />

some simple steps that can bring you closer to a wine-pairing<br />

nirvana.<br />

After first deciding on whether to have a red or white wine, the<br />

next decision point comes: matching a full bodied wine with a robust<br />

dish or a light wine with a delicate dish. Finally, if you really want to<br />

get into the nitty-gritty of wine and food pairing, you can then match<br />

the flavors in a wine with the dominant flavors in the dish (or sauce)<br />

because there is either a shared component in them or there is a<br />

complementary contrast between them. In some cases, the structure<br />

of a wine – its crisp acidity, for example, or its dry, tannic backbone--<br />

are features to also consider in the decision.<br />

BY LEN NAPOLITANO<br />

There are some food and wine pairings that are considered classic<br />

marriages. These include steak with Cabernet Sauvignon, lamb with<br />

Merlot, scallops with Chardonnay, caviar with sparkling wine, or<br />

sweet Port-style dessert wine with salty Stilton cheese. Except for the<br />

last example, these pairings follow the rule of red wine with meat,<br />

white wine with fish. But they all match the robustness of the wine<br />

with the food. They also are built upon the marriage of either similar<br />

or contrasting flavors that complement each other on the palate and<br />

make for a rich wine and culinary experience.<br />

Why the Weather Matters <strong>This</strong> Year AND Next<br />

Wherever you go in wine country, you’re bound to see<br />

machinery, equipment, even the vineyards themselves, which is<br />

oriented towards mitigating weather influences. Unlike row crops,<br />

vineyards and orchards can’t pick up and makes changes every year,<br />

but they can make changes to things around said vineyards. Why is<br />

this necessary in the first place? Because weather problems can<br />

affect not just this year’s crop but next year’s too, and damaging<br />

vines through cold or heat can quickly become a far more expensive<br />

proposition than the costs of installing solutions to keep the<br />

problems at bay.<br />

Why? Because vines aren’t like other annual crops. If you look<br />

closely at a vine, you will see both this year’s and next year’s buds,<br />

which is why weather damage can be such a problem: a grower is<br />

forced to contemplate the loss of multiple years’ income. Inside each<br />

bud are really small leaves, and from them come the leaves, canes,<br />

shoots and grapes, and each bud has concentric layers, which is why<br />

weather damage is along a continuum. Minor damage, generally<br />

from frost, may reduce the yield a bit, but it’s the more severe<br />

darkening, akin to frostbite, which is the real issue, guaranteeing a<br />

crop loss of at least fifty percent, if not more. Equally, the phloem,<br />

room<br />

BY JOSH STEIN<br />

the “bark” on exterior of canes and vine trunks, can also be damaged<br />

by cold, causing crop losses, too.<br />

The best way to undestand winegrowing options for weather<br />

mitigation is to “walk” through the vineyard throughout the year.<br />

Winter cold is actually no issue because the vines are dormant,<br />

which is why all fifty states have vineyards. Spring is when weather<br />

has the most impact on two years’ crop because the weather often<br />

flipflops quite quickly, and rain at an early point can be helpful to<br />

bring temperatures up while later in the season causing crop damage<br />

via hail or thunderstorms’ winds. Shattering of the blooming<br />

flowers can disrupt clusters or keep them from being fertilized, yet<br />

when faced with a frost event earlier in the year, rain is welcomed as<br />

it brings the temperature up above freezing. Summer and fall heat<br />

can also be an issue because too-high a temperature can cause vines<br />

to shut down, shriveling or even sunburning grapes, and also<br />

potentially killing the vine in the process.<br />

There are actually lots of options for mitigation, and the best, as<br />

you might expect, are set up so as to help solve more than one<br />

problem. Believe it or not, something as simple as low trellising<br />

versus high has an impact as far as weather goes as low trellises in<br />

the wrong locales are more subject to frost damage, and higher<br />

trellises can provide shade for adjacent rows. How the trellis is<br />

trimmed in winter and early spring prior to budbreak is thus one<br />

strategy, and there is projected to be a move back to “California<br />

Sprawl” from the VSP “candelabra” currently seen all over as the<br />

North Coast replants in the next few years for this reason: not only<br />

does this provide different vine growth and brix gains, but it also<br />

helps as regards frost or hail damage during April and May, when the<br />

buds break and the vines flower.<br />

Mechanical options abound, too. The winds machines, those<br />

twirling engines and fans on poles; the “Inverted Sinks” or “Air<br />

Dams,” which essentially turn the wind machine to provide a frost<br />

sink to pull cold air down and away from vines on hillsides and<br />

slopes; vertical sprinklers and micro-sprinklers, which can raise the<br />

temperature or allow frozen water to encase and protect the vines;<br />

and smudge pots, the gas fired heaters for the end of vineyard rows<br />

which work in combination with wind machines—all are ways to<br />

work in combination with the land to mitigate the negatives of<br />

weather while allowing the “terroir,” the locational distinctiveness, to<br />

still show through in the grapes and finished wines by “moving the<br />

weather” since the vines really cannot. It’s not always easy or cheap,<br />

but the results are worth it, no? Enjoy!<br />

When spring invites you outdoors and you begin preparing for summertime in<br />

Sonoma County, most locals know it’s time to peek at rodneystrong.com to see whose<br />

appearing at the winery’s annual concert series, which ends Labor Day weekend. <strong>This</strong><br />

year, Rodney Strong builds upon its stellar reputation of legendary musicians with<br />

first-timers Dwight Yoakam and B.B. King along with season opener Michael<br />

McDonald and other top names in contemporary jazz. These days at the winery offer<br />

a wonderful late afternoon of sunshine, music, wine and food; the winery, though,<br />

encourages you to bring a sweater due to the famous Russian River Valley breeze that<br />

cools the evenings and nights.<br />

If you’ve visited the winery in recent months, you’re aware that this stalwart<br />

Sonoma County winery is mixing up their wine offerings locally. Sure, you can rely<br />

on their Sonoma County Chardonnay and Cabernet every day and find them in<br />

nearly every store that sells wine. It’s almost as though they’ve provided a staple for<br />

your wine rack. Did you know, though, that Rodney Strong makes a fantastically<br />

delicious Syrah from Dry Creek Valley? How about their Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir?<br />

Malbec anyone? Rodney Strong has a dedicated wine club that receives these special<br />

wines throughout the year with an upside for locals (or visiting guests); specially<br />

made wines that are available for tasting and purchase in their tasting room. There are<br />

also three highly acclaimed Alexander Valley single vineyard Cabernets to taste and<br />

their tasting room has been recently named as the best in Sonoma County according<br />

to a Northbay biz reader’s pole.<br />

rANCH & viNeYArds<br />

BY CHARLES NEAVE<br />

If you like Northern California trivia, here are two questions: What<br />

was the name of the ranch in the movie “Giant?” And, what does the<br />

name reata have to do with ranching? The answers: the name of the<br />

movie ranch was Reata; in Spanish the name translates as lariat. <strong>As</strong> you<br />

sample the wines at the South Napa Valley winery with that name, it<br />

should not be a surprise to discover that this property has been used to<br />

farm and raise cattle for almost two hundred years.<br />

Formerly part of General Mariano Vallejo’s historic Rancho Suscol, it<br />

is, to this day, a 300-acre working ranch, where cattle still roam the hills<br />

and sheep graze on the cover crops between terraced vines. The organic<br />

honey that the 60,000 resident bees produce in the hives on-site is<br />

available in the tasting room, along with their award-winning wines.<br />

Like the wines themselves, the building that houses the tasting<br />

room, state-of-the-art winery and special event space is handcrafted of<br />

stone and different varieties of woods, from the tasting bar to the<br />

exterior walls and interior beams. There is seating around a cozy<br />

fireplace, an observation gallery overlooking the barrel room and<br />

production area, and a spectacular wrap-around veranda that affords<br />

sweeping views of the Napa Valley and San Pablo Bay, where days are<br />

warm, nights cool and an ocean breeze whisks away the morning fog.<br />

Conditions that are optimal for growing the Chardonnay and Pinot<br />

Noir Reata is famous for.<br />

The wines here artfully combine the different elements of the<br />

winemaker’s craft to capture the true California expression of each of<br />

the award-winning varietals. “We also believe that if it’s worth doing, it’s<br />

worth doing right, with pride and craftsmanship that stands the test of<br />

time.” Those wines include small lots of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay,<br />

Viognier, Petite Sirah and Syrah.<br />

To try the wines, step up to the bar. At the tasting bar there are a<br />

number of tasting options, served by an enthusiastic staff. Beginning<br />

June 1, Reata introduces a new food and wine experience showcasing<br />

sophisticated comfort food. The winery chef uses produce from their<br />

own organic, edible gardens along with seasonal local ingredients in<br />

unique, rustic, yet refined, menus.<br />

For the true wine lover, there are Barrel Tour and Tastings, a<br />

memorable experience for up to a dozen guests. You and your friends<br />

will have the opportunity to sample, among other wines, two that are<br />

currently being crafted, all while learning about how the wines are<br />

made.<br />

The winemaking philosophy at Reata is simple: make great tasting<br />

wines that remain true to their varietal character. To achieve that goal,<br />

Reata provides its winemakers with the freedom and resources they<br />

need to make each bottle of wine the best it can possibly be.<br />

BERINGER VINEYARDS<br />

Three Centuries and Counting of<br />

Celebrated Napa Valley <strong>Wine</strong>making<br />

BY JOSH STEIN<br />

Everything at Beringer Vineyards, just north of St. Helena, has been designed to<br />

pull you in and offer relaxed enjoyment of a wide range of wines. It’s just that they’ve<br />

been doing it continuously longer than anyone else in the Valley – since 1876, in<br />

fact. Yes, three centuries’ worth of winegrowing have yielded some impressive<br />

results. No winery or vineyard more thoroughly embodies the timeless appeal and<br />

seductive flavor of Napa Valley than Beringer Vineyards, today guided by<br />

<strong>Wine</strong>master Emeritus Ed Sbragia and <strong>Wine</strong>maker Laurie Hook, who craft Napa<br />

Valley wines that speak eloquently of the rich heritage of the Beringer Vineyard while<br />

offering cutting-edge quality and contemporary elegance, displaying a single-minded<br />

dedication and pursuit of excellence instilled by founder Jacob Beringer.<br />

The design of the grove of trees and the landscaping which greets you as you pull<br />

in silence the road noise of Highway 29, taking you back in time to the nineteenth<br />

century. Founded by German brothers Jacob and Frederick, the gravity-flow and<br />

then-steam-powered winery is supported by thousands of feet of hand-dug caves in<br />

the hillside, which still provide a stable 58 degrees year-round. Declared a Historic<br />

District on the National Register of Historical Places more than a decade ago, the<br />

property also features what remains of a 200-year-old Leaning Oak, a designated US<br />

Constitution Bicentennial Tree.<br />

The winery offers two different, highly popular tours, so reservations by phone or<br />

online are highly recommended, even if same-day. Offered eight times a day, the<br />

thirty-minute Introduction to Beringer Tour guides visitors through the Old Stone<br />

and wine-aging tunnels and visits<br />

the demonstration vineyard<br />

before proceeding to the Rhine<br />

tasting of three wines paired with<br />

small food bites.<br />

Equal to the atmosphere are<br />

the wines; the various tasting options and the cornicopia of bottlings<br />

make Beringer Vineyards the amazing experience it is. The sheer<br />

number of wines made is staggering, and there are literally too many<br />

to count. Among the highlights are the annually released Private<br />

Reserve Cabernet and Chardonnay wines, which were first made in<br />

1977; and the Modern Heritage bottlings of Chenin Blanc, Riesling,<br />

and Rosé, among others. The Knights Valley wines show off the<br />

impact of volcanic soils on several Cabernets, a Meritage red blend,<br />

Sauvignon Blanc, and a white blend while the Napa Valley releases<br />

highlight at least a dozen different vineyard-designated Cabs, as well<br />

as Sauvignon Blanc.<br />

Your options for enjoying the wines are equally as allencompassing.<br />

The Old <strong>Wine</strong>ry Tasting Room offers the<br />

opportunity to sample the more popular releases while the 1883<br />

Rhine House Mansion provides tastings of the reserve and limitedrelease<br />

bottlings. For those looking for something special, the Private<br />

Tasting, by appointment only, will take you deep into the library,<br />

and the Private Club Tasting, personally led by the <strong>Wine</strong> Club<br />

Concierge, goes even further. Large groups of ten or more can be<br />

accommodated, too, with special individualized tastings arranged in<br />

advance.<br />

Events abound, too, and weekends through October bring<br />

“Music on the Promenade” each afternoon, with live music from<br />

Steel Jam, The Blues Box Bayou Band, Jazz Mirage or the acoustic<br />

Sweet Burgundy; the website has a full schedule of who is playing<br />

when. Grab a sandwich, pour some wine and enjoy the afternoon at<br />

one of Napa’s oldest wineries. Memorial Day <strong>Week</strong>end Passport<br />

offers a progressive walk-around tasting highlighting the wine<br />

portfolio matched with an inspired summer pairing by Beringer’s<br />

Chef Maurine Sargent at each of the four tasting stations. Live music<br />

and bocce are also part of the fun. Lastly, mark your calendar now<br />

for Saturday, September 21st’s 2010 Private Reserve Cab release<br />

celebration, when <strong>Wine</strong>maker Laurie Hook and <strong>As</strong>sociate<br />

<strong>Wine</strong>maker Chris Louton will share the first taste of the anticipated<br />

2010 release of the flagship wine.<br />

It’s that combination of lots of wines and lots of ways to enjoy<br />

them which really makes Beringer stand out above the crowd and<br />

which shows why they’ve been leading the way for as long as folks<br />

have been coming to Napa for the best wines in the country. Check<br />

out for yourself what others have known since the nineteenth<br />

century – Beringer Vineyards is the best of the best. Enjoy!<br />

Still Reminding Us All That “Old Napa” Never Left!<br />

BY JOSH STEIN<br />

Surrounded by Cabernet vines, on a knoll at the base of Spring Mountain overlooking the<br />

upper-Valley, sits the 1878 Victorian mansion which houses St. Clement Vineyards. Originally built<br />

by Fritz Rosenbaum, the man responsible for furnishing the homes of San Francisco’s Guilded Age,<br />

the property went through a number of winemaking owners before it was purchased and renamed<br />

in 1976 when local opthalmologist William Casey bought it and built the stone winery behind. The<br />

name pays tribute to Casey’s ancestors who helped found the state of Maryland, the cross in the<br />

St. Clement logo coming from that state’s flag. It’s hard to find a more magnificent example of the<br />

“Old Napa” idea of a grand winery, and the experience lives up to that image.<br />

The exterior is surrounded by gardens with picnic areas and shaded awnings, allowing for<br />

spots to stop and savor: the porch and Hilltop Terrace – all harken back to a more timeless sense<br />

of the Valley. Stepping into the house is stepping back in time, to an age of quiet kindnesses and<br />

elegance. A grand staircase greets visitors upon entry, dividing the bottom of the house into the<br />

two tasting rooms, and a small children’s playroom resides under the stairs themselves. One gains<br />

a sense of the Valley’s history simply by looking around.<br />

Equal to the surroundings, it’s the focus on vineyard location and matching site to varietal<br />

which has given St. Clement the edge over others in the Valley. Long-term relationships have been<br />

key in developing special vineyards from which to source the best grapes as no single property<br />

can do it all. Carneros’s Abbott Vineyard is perfect for Chardonnay and Merlot because of its fog<br />

and breezes. South Napa’s Bacigalupi Vineyard offers consistent growth for the Napa Cab bottling.<br />

Verhey Vineyard in Atlas Peak provides ultra-concentrated Cabernet grapes while Gamble Ranch<br />

Vineyard between Yountville and Oakville presents amazing Sauvignon Blanc. Rutherford’s Star<br />

Vineyard supplies the backbone for the “Oroppas” Cabernet with St. Helena’s Bale Lane Vineyard<br />

providing aromatic Sauvignon Blanc and Tournahu Vineyards two different Cabs because of<br />

different soil types. The hills are equally showcased, with Howell Mountain’s Steinhauer Ranch<br />

Look for us on Facebook and become a Fan!


WiNe CouNtrY tHis WeeK | WiNe CouNtrY NeWs<br />

Continued<br />

giving Cabernet and Mount Veeder’s Progeny providing Cabernet and<br />

Syrah.<br />

<strong>As</strong> should be clear from above, there are lots of wines to enjoy,<br />

ranging from Napa Valley whites and reds to a half-dozen singlevineyard<br />

bottlings of Cab, and at last count, at least eight of the<br />

wines can be found only at the winery. The pedigree of each<br />

varietal is showcased while not losing the sense of place for the<br />

grapes. The Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc show careful,<br />

detailed winemaking, and the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon<br />

and Merlot are some of the best, especially at these pricepoints,<br />

in the Valley. The single-vineyard Cabs really show off Napa’s<br />

locations, with distinct differences in wines from the different<br />

areas of the Valley. Additionally, the winery’s flagship release, the<br />

“Oroppas” Cabernet, named for then-owners Sapporo, has been<br />

showing off the finest of each vintage within St. Clement’s<br />

combintorial wineblending for more than two decades.<br />

Tasting and touring options accommodate both walk-ins and<br />

appointments, and for groups or those looking to personalize the<br />

experience, the winery requires you to make reservations so that<br />

they’re able to make the visit memorable and special. The Hilltop<br />

Terrace is the place with amazing views to pair with the wines, and<br />

the time looking around the house gives real insight into Napa’s<br />

past. There are two different clubs, with a reds-only option, too, so<br />

you can have access to both the wines and these kinds of<br />

experiences all year round. <strong>As</strong> you can see, there’s a lot going on up<br />

just past St. Helena. Do yourself a favor: drop on by or pick up<br />

your phone and give the kind folks at St. Clement a call right now –<br />

you’ll be glad you did. Enjoy!<br />

Only available at winery. Not applicable online. Offer expires 06/30/2013.<br />

LIVERMORE VALLEY<br />

Garré <strong>Wine</strong>s – A Glass from the Past to Toast the Future<br />

SUBMITTED BY GINA MOLINARO-CARDERA<br />

Historians can trace the viticulture activity in the Livermore<br />

Valley back to 1832. We can trace our family winemaking back to<br />

the early 19th century as well to a small village outside of Genoa,<br />

Italy.<br />

A family photo hangs in our Tasting Room of Nonna “Rosa”<br />

Garré with a glass of wine in her hand and her son-in-law, Gino<br />

Molinaro, holding the jug of family wine. The picture was taken in<br />

Glen Ellen at our family’s summer cabin in the early 1930s.<br />

My dad, (Bob Molinaro, Garré <strong>Wine</strong>ry owner) tells the story of<br />

<strong>Wine</strong> <strong>Country</strong><br />

his dad and uncles getting together every year to make their wine<br />

for the family. The truck would bring red grapes from Napa to San<br />

Francisco, where the families lived. The grapes would be crushed<br />

and fermented and the wine would be made. My uncles learned<br />

from their uncles who brought their knowledge and experience<br />

from the Old <strong>Country</strong> to the New World.<br />

Our heritage and family traditions are the backbone of Garré,<br />

welcoming everyone who visits as family to enjoy the experience of<br />

Old Italy. Stop by for a visit, you’ll be glad you did.<br />

St. Francis, Chateau St. Jean or Loxton! So<br />

many from which to choose and all unique! After<br />

“City” than small-town, a true gem!<br />

WCtW: Tell us the best wineries to bring pets.<br />

CK: We are so lucky that so many wineries in<br />

Sonoma Valley are pet-friendly! Anaba (great<br />

Pinots), Ravenswood (no wimpy wines),<br />

Nicholson Ranch (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and<br />

views), Imagery (art), BR Cohn (taste olive oil!),<br />

and at Kunde you can take your dog with you on<br />

a vineyard hike! All offer fine experiences for<br />

man’s best friend.<br />

Mira Pinot Noir Named <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast<br />

“Editors’ Choice” With 94 Points<br />

the First u.s. <strong>Wine</strong>ry to experiment with ocean Aging receives ratings<br />

Mira <strong>Wine</strong>ry, a Napa Valley winery that distributes through high<br />

end restaurants and directly to consumers through<br />

www.miranapa.com, recently announced that the 2009 “Stanly Ranch”<br />

Pinot Noir was named <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast’s “Editor’s Choice” with a 94-<br />

point rating and the 2010 Syrah was given a 92-point rating.<br />

The May issue of <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast noted, “The flavors are<br />

enormously complex, ranging from fresh raspberry jam and<br />

cranberries to red currants and persimmons. Earthy cola, mushroom<br />

and forest floor notes add complexity. The acid-tannin balance is just<br />

about perfect. Good as it is, this compelling Pinot should develop<br />

well over the next six years.”<br />

“Pinot Noir is my favorite variety to work with,” said Gustavo<br />

Gonzalez, Mira <strong>Wine</strong>ry winemaker. “It presents quite a challenge<br />

both in the vineyard as well as the winery but the result in the bottle<br />

is like nothing else. I'm thrilled my Mira Pinot Noir has received<br />

recognition from an authority such as <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast.”<br />

Mira received national attention in February as the first winery in<br />

the United States to experiment with ocean aging. The winery<br />

submerged four cases of 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon, in specially<br />

designed cages, into the Charleston Harbor for three months. The<br />

cages will be pulled at the end of May.<br />

Presidio in San Francisco on Sunday, June 23.<br />

“¿Arizona? Growing Spanish Varieties in the American Southwest”<br />

with panelists including Maynard James Keenan of Caduceus<br />

Cellars, Tim White of Arizona Stronghold, Todd Bostock of Dos<br />

Cabezas <strong>Wine</strong>Works and Kent Callaghan of Callaghan Vineyards<br />

and “Defining American Tempranillo.” Kickoff Seminar attendees<br />

receive early admission (1 p.m.) to the Grand <strong>Wine</strong> Tasting.<br />

Tickets for the Kickoff Seminars and Consumer Tasting are<br />

available at tapas13.eventbrite.com. Advance ticket prices are $60<br />

for the Consumer Tasting only, or $95 for the Kickoff Seminars<br />

Chef Hendrickson Sets the Standard at The Hess Collection<br />

BY MIKE HYLAND<br />

Trends often tend to come and go in <strong>Wine</strong> <strong>Country</strong>, and one of the<br />

hottest trends these days is food and wine pairings (or wine and<br />

cheese pairings) at numerous tasting rooms in both Sonoma and<br />

Napa counties. One tends to forget that the venerable Hess Collection<br />

on Mount Veeder in Napa has had an Executive Chef on staff since<br />

2001 – some 12 years of enjoying wine, food and art all in one very<br />

gorgeous setting.<br />

Executive Chef Chad Hendrickson arrives each day on Mount<br />

Veeder to lead the Hess culinary program, pairing wines from the<br />

Hess Collection with recipes featuring fresh seasonal and sustainable<br />

foods, most of which are grown right at the winery.<br />

A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New<br />

York, Chef Chad began his career in Los Angeles, honing his skills at<br />

such elite Hollywood restaurants as Café La<br />

Boheme and Le Bel Age Hotel.<br />

After moving to Santa Barbara County and<br />

working at San Ysidro Ranch, he settled a little<br />

further north in the Napa Valley where he<br />

worked in the iconic Napa restaurant Brix and<br />

at the legendary Auberge du Soleil, before<br />

joining The Hess Collection in 2001.<br />

At Hess, Chef Chad follows the tenets of the<br />

Seafood Watch program, and has planted an<br />

extensive organic garden just a few steps away<br />

from the winery kitchen door. Fruit trees, olive<br />

trees and an herb garden are also available on<br />

property. The Hess Collection website regularly<br />

features Chef Chad’s recipes and pairing<br />

suggestions, and Hess Collector’s Club<br />

members enjoy the opportunity to experience<br />

his creations at regular wine club events.<br />

For the <strong>Wine</strong> <strong>Country</strong> visitor, however, there are numerous<br />

options at Hess Collection for a more comprehensive tasting<br />

experience. While most of the tours require advance reservations, it is<br />

certainly worth a phone call or email to enjoy any one of the tours<br />

available throughout the year.<br />

The most notable experience is the Tour of the Palate, available<br />

only on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 2 p.m. at a cost of $85 per<br />

person. Guests will enjoy a guided tour of The Hess Collection<br />

Contemporary Art Museum followed by a tasting of three current<br />

release wines expertly paired with three exquisite creations from<br />

Executive Chef Hendrickson. The Tour of the Palate menu, on a<br />

recent visit to the winery, included a pan seared fennel dusted day<br />

boat scallop, red watercress, frisee, grilled asparagus, Easter egg<br />

radishes, navel oranges with a wildflower honey citrus vinaigrette<br />

paired with the 2011 Napa Valley Chardonnay.<br />

Next was country pork pâté and duck rillettes, Fiscalini Farms San<br />

Joaquin Gold Wholegrain Mustard, and pickled onions paired with<br />

36<br />

Executive Chef Chad Hendrickson<br />

the 2009 Artezin Napa Valley Charbono. The<br />

tasting was completed with grilled Black<br />

Angus beef skirt steak with brown clamshell<br />

mushrooms, fava beans, Bloomsdale<br />

spinach, roasted fennel, spring onion and<br />

sweet pepper relish, paired beautifully with<br />

the 2009 Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon.<br />

Another highly recommended tour is the<br />

<strong>Wine</strong> & Chocolate Experience which is<br />

offered daily for $65 per person, and again,<br />

with advance reservations. Enjoy a tour of<br />

The Hess Collection, followed by a current<br />

release wine tasting of four wines paired with<br />

artisan truffles developed and handcrafted<br />

with TCHO Chocolate by the Hess Pastry<br />

Chef and Chocolatier, Emma Kate Veader.<br />

<strong>This</strong> is a unique and educational experience<br />

with one-of-a-kind chocolates that pair<br />

exceptionally well with the wines.<br />

If it is wine and cheese you are after, then by all means sign up for<br />

the <strong>Wine</strong> & Cheese Pairing that takes place daily for $65 per person.<br />

Guests will enjoy an educational wine production tour with your own<br />

private host from The Hess Collection, followed by a current release<br />

wine presentation paired with artisan cheeses served with seasonal<br />

fruits and nuts selected by Executive Chef Hendrickson. Or, when the<br />

weather’s nice, enjoy <strong>Wine</strong> & Cheese Tasting In The Garden<br />

Courtyard. Taste underneath vines of wisteria, surrounded by<br />

contemporary sculptures and beautifully landscaped gardens. Cost is<br />

$10 for the Mount Veeder wine sampler and $30 for a six ounce<br />

cheese plate with crackers, dried fruits and nuts, weather permitting.<br />

The Hess Collection <strong>Wine</strong>ry and Art Museum are open daily for<br />

public visits, tours and tastings. Groups up to eight people are invited<br />

to taste four current release wines, many of which are available only at<br />

the winery, for $10 per person. Larger groups are asked call (707)<br />

255-8584 or email info@hesscollection.com to make a reservation.<br />

Perched high on a hill and requiring an aerial tram ride to get to the winery, Sterling<br />

Vineyards in Calistoga has given guests another phenomenal reason to visit with the addition<br />

of their new Food and <strong>Wine</strong> Program. With stunning views, amazing wines and cozy tasting<br />

rooms, once you’re at the top you will never want to leave!<br />

Board the tram to the top and let your wine tasting journey begin. General admission is<br />

just $25, including aerial tram, self-guided tour and tasting of five wines. Once you arrive,<br />

you are warmly greeted with a glass of wine and then your self-guided tour begins. Sip and<br />

savor their wines as you stroll past the barrel room, wander out by the crush pad or better<br />

yet the upper deck overlooking the rolling hills lined with grapevines. For a small upgrade<br />

fee, you can choose one of their seated tastings held in the main tasting room or Club Room.<br />

Select from their Reserve <strong>Wine</strong>, Silver or Gold Experience and taste winery exclusives as<br />

well as their single-vineyard and limited-release wines.<br />

The Food and <strong>Wine</strong> Program at Sterling is now being featured in the main tasting rooms<br />

including the Club Room and Reserve Rooms Thursday through Monday. Four Sterling<br />

wines are perfectly paired with a selection of cheeses, charcuterie and accoutrements for a<br />

cost of $25; wine tasting fee additional. Their current pairings feature Bellwether Farms<br />

Carmody and Vella Mezzo Secco cheeses paired with the 2011 <strong>Wine</strong>ry Lake Chardonnay and<br />

2007 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. The Fatted Calf Rustique Pate and applewood smoked<br />

duck breast is paired with the 2006 Reserve Merlot and 2011 Carneros Pinot Noir. On the<br />

weekends, they serve this platter on the South <strong>View</strong> Terrace along with two other small<br />

Welcome to<br />

Y O U N T V I L L E<br />

RASgalleries<br />

BY CHARLES NEAVE<br />

For many people a visit to Yountville in<br />

the Napa Valley would not be the same<br />

without a stop at RASgalleries. The art glass<br />

gallery founded and operated by Ronda<br />

Schaer is now celebrating its 23rd<br />

anniversary and is a “must see” for art lovers.<br />

With an unwavering focus on American<br />

Art Glass it showcases the work of some of<br />

the most renowned artists from the Bay Area<br />

and throughout California, plus the Pacific<br />

Northwest and the East Coast, among other<br />

locales. Masterful glass techniques such as<br />

mouth blown, lampworking, cast, cold<br />

worked and fused glass are always on display<br />

at the gallery, in forms such as vases, bowls<br />

and sculpture. Specialty pieces like perfume<br />

bottles (they have the largest collection of<br />

hand-blown perfume bottles in Northern<br />

California), stemware and paperweights are<br />

also available.<br />

A carefully chosen number of ceramic<br />

artists have been selected to accompany the<br />

glasswork and most recently original fine art<br />

paintings are being displayed. In all, it makes<br />

for a unique and memorable destination.<br />

Like everything involving RASgalleries, they<br />

are of the highest quality and reflect the fine<br />

eye of the owner and the amazing talents of<br />

the artists she represents. The gallery also has<br />

a rotating display of one-of-a-kind sculptures<br />

and regularly sponsors single-artist shows<br />

and receptions that draw devotees of the<br />

medium from around the nation. Details and<br />

updates can be found on the gallery’s<br />

website.<br />

“I created RASgalleries with a singular<br />

focus on original American art, primarily Art<br />

Glass – my personal passion – and I’m proud<br />

that after 23 years in the same Napa Valley<br />

location, the passion remains!”<br />

<strong>Wine</strong> education Lunches, receptions, dinners: <strong>As</strong>k for details<br />

The year was 1969. Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the moon; the New York<br />

Mets were on their way to their first National League pennant; “Butch Cassidy and the<br />

Sundance Kid” was topping the year’s box office sales. And an intrepid young<br />

Midwesterner, yearning to answer the call of his ancestors, was scouring Napa Valley<br />

for the perfect piece of land on which to plant the family flag.<br />

Now, on the eve of Jay Corley’s 82nd birthday, he looks back at his 40+ years in the<br />

Napa Valley and looks forward to the next generations taking the reins of the Corley<br />

Family’s Monticello Vineyards.<br />

A dream takes root<br />

In 1969, the Stanford-educated Corley was running a successful publicly traded<br />

company in Los Angeles, but wanted to trade his three-piece suit for overalls. After<br />

all, farming was in his blood. “Every generation of my family for 400 years has been<br />

farmers. <strong>As</strong> a boy, I loved spending time on my grandfather’s farm in southern Illinois.<br />

I just always wanted to get back to farming.”<br />

At the time, Corley’s friend, a wine shop owner in Los Angeles, was developing a<br />

piece of property in Yountville. He invited Corley to come for a visit, and Corley was<br />

hooked. “I would come up nearly every weekend for nine months to see what was<br />

going on here. I would just roam around, get to know people, ask questions. There<br />

weren’t many people around, but the ones who were,” as Corley lists the names of<br />

contemporary Napa Valley pioneers and icons, “were very helpful.”<br />

A self-described “Burgundy guy” with a taste for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay,<br />

Corley was looking for a place where those varieties would thrive. He found it in an<br />

80-acre prune orchard at the southern end of Napa Valley.<br />

He liked the property’s proximity to the cooling breezes of the San Pablo Bay and the<br />

fact that it sat next to the Napa River. “I didn’t think of being on Highway 29 to capture<br />

visitors; I wanted to be on the river because I knew access to water would be essential.”<br />

RECENT ACCOLADES – April 2013 Issue of The <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast:<br />

• 2009 Corley reserve Cabernet sauvignon – 93 points and “Cellar Selection”<br />

• 2009 Corley “state Lane” Cabernet sauvignon – 93 points and “Cellar Selection”<br />

• 2009 “tietjen vineyard” Cabernet sauvignon – 92 points<br />

• 2009 Corley “Yewell vineyard” Cabernet sauvignon – 91 points and “Cellar Selection”<br />

Once the property was cleaned up, Corley didn’t cut corners<br />

planting the vineyard. “We used all of the new technology coming<br />

out of Davis. We tested the soil everywhere, and we drilled holes in<br />

the ground to see how the water was flowing. Then we planted the<br />

vines closer together than most people were doing in those days to<br />

stress them.”<br />

the Next generation<br />

Things went well enough those first years to make Corley think,<br />

“We can do this.” Soon the successful winegrower wanted to build a<br />

winery. <strong>As</strong> a graduate student years earlier, Corley had written a<br />

thesis on starting up a winery. He opened his desk drawer, dusted<br />

off the old thesis, and got started.<br />

All seven of Corley’s children helped out at the winery during<br />

their high school years. But Corley encouraged them to go off,<br />

experience the world outside of the winery where they had grown<br />

up, and then come back if they wanted.<br />

Kevin Corley, now <strong>Wine</strong>grower and President, became a<br />

successful banker in Los Angeles. Stephen Corley, now the winery’s<br />

Director of Sales and Marketing, was a CPA who worked at the<br />

accounting firm KPMG before he came back to the winery in 1997.<br />

Chris Corley, the youngest of the three, has worked at the winery<br />

the longest. Initially aiming to be a marine biologist, Chris<br />

eventually decided he would “rather drown in wine than sea water.”<br />

He worked in the cellar under other winemakers for 13 years before<br />

he earned enough stripes to become Head <strong>Wine</strong>maker in 2002.<br />

Now the three brothers form a harmonious management team.<br />

“Three of them is better than one of me,” says the senior Corley.<br />

the Jefferson Connection<br />

Jay Corley was a great admirer of Thomas Jefferson, who was not<br />

only a founding father but also America’s first great connoisseur. He<br />

honored the third President by naming the winery Monticello<br />

Vineyards - after Jefferson’s mountaintop home in Charlottesville,<br />

Virginia. In 1984, the Corleys built the Jefferson House, a very close<br />

replica of Monticello, on the Home Ranch that is now used as office<br />

space and to entertain guests. The four acres of grounds<br />

surrounding the Jefferson House are comprised of the same trees,<br />

shrubs and flowers Thomas Jefferson planted at Monticello.<br />

savor the taste, experience the Hospitality<br />

In the quaint, rustic tasting room, the staff pours a little bit of<br />

everything the Corleys produce from 80 acres of vines on the Home<br />

Ranch in the Oak Knoll District as well as four other estate<br />

vineyards in Napa Valley. With 30 vintages under their belts, the<br />

Corleys like to show off their library wines in reserve tastings in the<br />

Jefferson House. Slip into the comfortable black leather chairs and<br />

enjoy a flight of our wines, “People come for one or two wines,”<br />

Stephen Corley says, “but they usually leave with it all!”<br />

Explore The Heritage <strong>Wine</strong> Trail at Four Iconic <strong>Wine</strong>ries<br />

BY MONICA L. DASHWOOD<br />

With so much to do and see in the wine country, the research<br />

involved in planning your day can be overwhelming. The Heritage<br />

<strong>Wine</strong> Trail, a full-day tour and tasting package, takes the guess work<br />

out of your travel plans and offers a memorable excursion from<br />

Carneros to Calistoga that is sure to satisfy the senses!<br />

For only $99 (a value of over $150), from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., you<br />

will experience tours and tastings at four iconic wineries, Acacia<br />

Vineyard, Beaulieu Vineyard, Provenance Vineyards and Sterling<br />

Vineyards, including an authentic wine country picnic lunch.<br />

The tour begins at Acacia Vineyard, where you will walk through<br />

their lush vineyard and end with a visit to their tasting room.<br />

<strong>Wine</strong>maker Matthew Glynn will share his winemaking knowledge<br />

and Acacia’s unique 32-year history. You will taste a few of their<br />

favorite wines, not commonly found outside the winery, as well as<br />

select wines that have been awarded 90+ points.<br />

Continue on to Beaulieu Vineyard, to tour the most historic part<br />

of their winery, built in 1885. A wine guide will take you through<br />

their 100-year-old Redwood Tank Forest to the Heritage Room where<br />

you will sample wines from French and American oak barrels and<br />

two of their current releases, including the iconic Georges de Latour<br />

Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, made at BV since 1936.<br />

From there, experience the passion of Provenance Vineyards as a<br />

Warren St<br />

Jefferson St<br />

wine club member for the day with exclusive tastings of three current<br />

releases followed by a pairing of Merlot chocolate sauce and port.<br />

The tour ends with a big finish at Sterling Vineyards as you<br />

ascend on an aerial tram overlooking panoramic views of one of the<br />

most dramatic wineries in California. You will be greeted with a glass<br />

of wine as you follow the winemaking process from grape to glass.<br />

You will be guided from the barrel room to one of the terraces, to sit,<br />

relax and taste three of their limited-production wines.<br />

The Heritage <strong>Wine</strong> Trail promises a fun filled day from start to finish!<br />

The Heritage <strong>Wine</strong> Trail is offered daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.<br />

Robert Mondavi <strong>Wine</strong>ry Kicks Off<br />

44th Annual Summer Concert Series<br />

<strong>This</strong> June, Robert Mondavi <strong>Wine</strong>ry<br />

kicks off its 44th annual Summer Concert<br />

Series with a festival featuring five top<br />

musical acts. With June 18 marking what<br />

would have been the 100th birthday of<br />

Robert Mondavi, country singer and<br />

songwriter Martina McBride will begin<br />

the series with a performance that<br />

celebrates Robert Mondavi’s contributions<br />

to the wine industry throughout the Napa<br />

Valley and beyond. Now a muchanticipated<br />

wine country tradition, the<br />

annual concert series began in 1969 by<br />

Margrit Mondavi.<br />

In celebration of the 100th birthday of Robert Mondavi and presented by Pandora Jewelry, the festival<br />

begins June 29 with the “Cen’tanni” performance and fireworks show, headlined by Martina McBride.<br />

McBride, recipient of a Grammy and four CMA Female Vocalist of the Year trophies, brings more than<br />

two decades of country music tradition to the Napa Valley. The concert series continues on July 6 with<br />

the “Cool Climates of Carneros” concert, headlined by alternative rock group Lifehouse. With a number<br />

of hit Billboard singles, including “Hanging by a Moment,” Lifehouse’s performance will showcase old<br />

favorites and a collection of songs from its newly-released album, “Almeria.” On July 12, the “A Night<br />

Like No Other: Celebrating Fume Blanc” concert will welcome pop-rock star Huey Lewis. Raised locally<br />

in Marin County, Lewis (of the platinum-record-selling group Huey Lewis and The News) brings his<br />

American rock style to the winery as part of the “Sports” 30th Anniversary Tour. On July 13, Robert<br />

Mondavi <strong>Wine</strong>ry welcomes Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers for the “Spotlight on Oakville”<br />

celebration. Grammy-winning songwriter and former Grateful Dead member Bruce Hornsby brings his<br />

Noisemakers group to Napa for an expressive, soulful performance, displaying the group’s eclectic and<br />

multi-genre encompassing sounds. The final performance of this year’s Summer Concert Series takes<br />

place on July 20 with ZZ Ward and Delta Rae for the “Ode to To Kalon” celebration. Blues-influenced<br />

singer-songwriter ZZ Ward and alternative-pop Americana folk group Delta Rae co-headline to combine<br />

their multifaceted sounds and energetic personalities.<br />

All performances begin at 7 p.m. and are held at the Robert<br />

Mondavi <strong>Wine</strong>ry on Highway 29 in Oakville, Napa Valley. Tickets<br />

are on sale now and prices vary by performance. For additional<br />

information and to purchase tickets, including General Admission,<br />

Reserved and Dinner seats, visit www.robertmondaviwinery.com,<br />

Remède Spa at The St. Regis San Francisco Partners with<br />

Matanzas Creek <strong>Wine</strong>ry to Unveil Beauté de Terroir Experience<br />

san Francisco’s only Forbes Four-star spa Creates unique Beauty<br />

& Culinary Package inspired by the Natural Bounty of <strong>Wine</strong> <strong>Country</strong><br />

Remède Spa at The St. Regis San Francisco, the city’s only Forbes<br />

Four-Star spa, has announced a partnership with Matanzas Creek<br />

<strong>Wine</strong>ry in Santa Rosa that offers guests a new signature spa package<br />

showcasing the exceptional beauty benefits and epicurean delights of<br />

wine country. Designed to foster a greater harmony of body, mind<br />

and spirit, Beauté de Terroir taps the bounty of Sonoma County’s<br />

Matanzas Creek estate to create an exceptional experience that<br />

indulges all the senses. Spa guests will taste, smell and feel the<br />

distinct terroir of Matanzas Creek while enjoying a body scrub, wrap,<br />

massage and pedicure complemented by a three-course wine and<br />

cheese pairing.<br />

“We are thrilled to partner with Matanzas Creek <strong>Wine</strong>ry, an<br />

establishment that is well-aligned with our dedication to inner<br />

harmony and everyday health,” said Deborah Larsson, director of<br />

Remède Spa. “The new Beauté de Terroir is an exciting new offering<br />

that uniquely connects guests to California’s natural bounty through a<br />

genuine vineyard-to-spa experience.”<br />

Launching in June 2013, the Beauté de Terroir experience will<br />

feature ingredients sourced directly from Matanzas Creek <strong>Wine</strong>ry’s<br />

celebrated terroir, pairing the serenity and expertise of Remède Spa<br />

with the richness of Sonoma County. Upon arrival, guests will<br />

refresh their palates with a pure white grape juice, served with fresh<br />

cut grapes. The spa experience will begin with Matanzas Creek’s<br />

hydrating and smoothing Lavender Salt Scrub – a combination of sea<br />

salt, shea butter, ground chamomile, lavender essential oil and a hint<br />

of musk. A deep-cleansing, nourishing body wrap follows,<br />

showcasing grape seed oil and lavender fresh from the Matanzas<br />

Creek estate. The wrap will then be washed away with a revitalizing<br />

Vichy shower, leaving the skin noticeably softer and optimally<br />

moisturized. Following the body wrap, guests will be treated to a<br />

Remede Aromatherapy Massage featuring Matanzas Creek balm of<br />

grape seed oil, lavender and rose essential oils.<br />

To cap off the day of pampering, guests will enjoy a three-course<br />

wine and artisan cheese pairing while receiving a signature Remède<br />

Spa pedicure. Matanzas Creek’s signature Sonoma County Sauvignon<br />

Blanc will perfectly complement Weirauch Farms Tomme Fraiche<br />

cow’s milk cheese with candied pomelo rind, Cypress Grove’s<br />

Humboldt Fog with olives and Bellwether Farms San Andreas sheep’s<br />

milk cheese with almonds. <strong>This</strong> delectable cheese plate will be served<br />

with WholeVine Artisan Crackers, crispy gluten-free crackers sourced<br />

from local sustainable vineyards that use grape skins and seeds for<br />

milling into flour for artisan baking. Each guest will also receive an<br />

exclusive gift bag that includes fresh grape seed body balm, known<br />

for leaving skin soft and smooth.<br />

“We are delighted that Matanzas Creek Sauvignon Blanc and estate<br />

lavender-infused products are integrated into Beauté de Terroir at<br />

Remède Spa” said estate lavender manager, Pat Ross. “We handcraft<br />

our lavender spa products with the same attention to detail that our<br />

54<br />

The famed lavender fields of Matanzas Creek <strong>Wine</strong>ry<br />

winemaker, Marcia Monahan, dedicates to artisan winemaking. Our<br />

Sauvignon Blanc pairing and lavender spa items offer the perfect<br />

enhancement to this distinctive spa experience.”<br />

Matanzas Creek <strong>Wine</strong>ry is located in the rolling hills of Bennett<br />

Valley. The estate-grown grapes live in harmony with their<br />

surroundings with only a portion of the land planted to vine. The<br />

remainder of the land is devoted to a blend of native grass, olive<br />

trees, exotic perennials and Matanzas Creek’s famed lavender fields –<br />

an inspiring setting from which the featured elements in the Beauté<br />

de Terroir package are harvested.<br />

Remède Spa is an urban oasis of relaxation featuring nine<br />

treatment rooms, men’s and women’s lounges, a spa boutique and a<br />

50-foot heated infinity lap pool. Every trademark touch, from<br />

Champagne and truffles to exceptional service and luxurious linens,<br />

reflects an exclusive lifestyle and discerning sensibility. Matanzas<br />

Creek lavender salt scrub, lavender essential oil and grape seed oil, as<br />

well as WholeVine crackers and flour, will be available for purchase<br />

at the Remède Spa boutique.<br />

The Beauté de Terroir spa package is available exclusively at<br />

Remède Spa at The St. Regis San Francisco. The four and a half hour<br />

treatment is $600 and will be available June 1 through August 31,<br />

2013. To book a treatment at Remède Spa, call (415) 284-4060 or<br />

email remedespasf@stregis.com. A corresponding overnight package,<br />

which includes the Beauté de Terroir package at Remède Spa and one<br />

night in a Superior Room at The St. Regis San Francisco, starts at<br />

$1,000 per night including service and tax. For reservations, visit<br />

www.stregissanfrancisco.com or call 1-866-716-8116. The St. Regis<br />

experience true farm- and vineyard-to-table dining against sonoma’s majestic landscape<br />

Leading the trend of winery-based culinary programs, St. Francis<br />

<strong>Wine</strong>ry & Vineyards unveiled several new offerings this month. “We<br />

were among the first wineries to develop a culinary program, as our<br />

guests became more and more interested in experiencing and learning<br />

about the close relationship between wine and food,” notes<br />

Christopher Silva, President & CEO of St. Francis <strong>Wine</strong>ry &<br />

Vineyards. New spring/summer culinary programs at St. Francis<br />

include:<br />

• Seasonal Spring/Summer <strong>Wine</strong> and Food Pairing Menu<br />

• Private Estate Dining<br />

• Estate Vineyard Tour & Tasting<br />

seasonal spring/summer <strong>Wine</strong> and Food Pairing<br />

Led by Executive Chef David Bush, one of the very few dedicated<br />

winery chefs in the region, the acclaimed five-course <strong>Wine</strong> and Food<br />

Pairing highlights the seasonal bounty of Sonoma County, utilizing<br />

fresh ingredients from the winery’s two-acre organic garden. Paired<br />

with St Francis’ 100% Sonoma County wines, the pairing is hosted by<br />

a St. Francis wine expert, and presented in a relaxed, quintessential<br />

wine country setting. The new menu offered five days a week,<br />

includes dishes such as: Sichuan-Style Slow Roasted Pork Shoulder<br />

with fava beans, fava leaves, charred yams, grilled spring onion,<br />

upland cress, and roasting jus paired with a 2010 Three Valleys<br />

Zinfandel.<br />

Private estate dining<br />

A more intimate experience for groups of 8-16, guests are now able<br />

to reserve the winery for an entire evening and dine on a memorable<br />

seven-course prix fixe dinner paired with St. Francis’ iconic wines.<br />

The evening begins with wine on the Syrah Patio overlooking the lush<br />

Sonoma Mountains. Dinner follows in the winery’s private dining<br />

room with sweeping views of estate vineyards.<br />

the St. Francis Visitor Center and extends throughout the Wild Oak<br />

Estate Vineyard and two-acre sustainable vegetable garden. <strong>This</strong> indepth<br />

tour examines the lifecycle of the vineyard, soil composition,<br />

terroir and sustainable farming practices to illustrate what makes<br />

Sonoma Valley ideally suited for the production of world-class wines.<br />

In addition, guests learn about the seasonal ingredients used in the<br />

winery’s <strong>Wine</strong> and Food Pairings, from melons and squashes to<br />

cardoons, kale and fresh herbs. The tour concludes with a wine<br />

tasting and discussion in the Reserve <strong>Wine</strong> Club Room.<br />

Cline Cellars<br />

BY MIKE HYLAND<br />

Cline Cellars winemaker and director of winemaking, Charlie Tsegeletos’s interest in wine<br />

goes back to his childhood and was inherited from his great-grandfather, Guippe Guidotti,<br />

who grew grapes and made wine in the Guerneville area of Sonoma County back in the 1930s.<br />

A 1979 graduate of UC Davis, Charlie began his winemaking career as an apprentice at<br />

Pendleton <strong>Wine</strong>ry when he was 24 years old. In the 1980’s he held winemaking positions at<br />

Hacienda <strong>Wine</strong> Cellars, D’Agostini <strong>Wine</strong>ry and Glen Ellen <strong>Wine</strong>ry, where he would remain for<br />

some 15 years.<br />

He joined Cline Cellars in 2002 and is responsible for winemaking and production for the<br />

winery’s Cline, Oakley and Jacuzzi Family Vineyards brands.<br />

“Over the years, we have added more wines to the Cline portfolios, with still more to<br />

come,” says Charlie. “Our core wines at Cline stay the same – Zinfandel, Syrah, Mourvedre and<br />

Pinot Noir, but we also like to experiment and create some red blends that truly rock the boat.<br />

Then there are the Rhône varietals that owner Fred Cline pioneered in the Sonoma Valley years<br />

ago – Syrah, Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne.”<br />

Tsegeletos is producing about 25 different wines for both Cline and Jacuzzi, which<br />

obviously keeps him and his winemaking team of four members and a cellar staff of another<br />

12 people pretty busy. And then even more staff is added to the mix when harvest and bottling<br />

takes place.<br />

<strong>As</strong> for his winemaking philosophy, Charlie often lets the grapes guide his style. He works<br />

Continued<br />

closely with the vineyard managers to ensure that<br />

varieties are planted in locations that will provide<br />

optimal acid and sugar levels and express the true<br />

varietal characteristics. Then he hones his<br />

winemaking skills to guide the wine toward his<br />

chosen style. His red wines are big and dark with<br />

lots of fruit concentration and delicate oak<br />

nuances, while his white wines are always bright,<br />

crisp and fresh.<br />

“A visit to Cline Cellars historic setting in the<br />

Carneros region of Sonoma County reveals<br />

Charlie’s basic varietals, Zinfandel (there are seven<br />

of them), Syrah, and Pinot Noir; the various Rhône<br />

wines, and as a bonus, there is Nancy’s Cuvee<br />

Sparkling <strong>Wine</strong>, which is an excellent way to start<br />

a tasting at Cline.<br />

An important historical side note, the site of the<br />

Cline Cellars winery and tasting room is also the<br />

site of the last original Spanish Mission to be<br />

established in California. The mission was<br />

dedicated on July 4, 1823, and later built at its<br />

present location in downtown Sonoma.<br />

In addition to his duties at Cline, Oakley and<br />

Jacuzzi, Charlie is also a professional wine judge as<br />

well as a member of the Board of Directors of the<br />

Sonoma Valley Vintners and Growers <strong>As</strong>sociation.<br />

He is also an avid snow skier and motorcyclist. He<br />

resides on an old chicken ranch in the hills of<br />

animals.<br />

The Wall Street Journal has (twice) called it “the best value in wine country”<br />

and Open Table’s recent list of the top ten <strong>Wine</strong> <strong>Country</strong> Diners’ winners features<br />

the Mayo Reserve Tasting Room at number one, ahead of such full service area<br />

Meadowwood and Dry Creek Kitchen.<br />

So what’s the big deal? Just an incredible food pairing of seven gourmet treats<br />

coupled with seven delicious wines, and all for the unbelievable price of $35 per<br />

has announced a new spring menu. The seven-course, sit-down menu celebrates<br />

spring with locally produced ingredients now coming into production along with<br />

seven Mayo Family <strong>Wine</strong>ry wines to demonstrate the various ways food and wine<br />

can compliment one another. “Pairing our wines with great food is something our<br />

family has been doing since we started in 1993 with our first vintage,” says Jeff<br />

Mayo.<br />

The sit-down Reserve Room food and wine pairing is offered Thursday<br />

through Monday, 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and cost $35. Reservations are not<br />

Sonoma Plaza, a National Historic Landmark, is<br />

originally home to the last of the chain of 21<br />

California missions. Throughout its colorful<br />

history – including the Bear Flag Revolt where the<br />

California state flag was first raised in 1842 – the<br />

small-town epicenter is now home to some 25<br />

gourmet dining establishments, 40 boutique shops<br />

and art galleries as well as 18 unique tasting<br />

rooms. A well-known tourist destination, visitors<br />

come to Sonoma to experience the idyllic <strong>Wine</strong><br />

<strong>Country</strong> lifestyle. Sure, doublewide tractors may<br />

grace the two-lane Highway 12, wide-open<br />

ranchlands blanket the valley between towns, and<br />

wooly sheep keep weeds and grasses minimal in the<br />

vineyards. But, no doubt, you will also find<br />

countless award-winning wineries and world-class<br />

restaurants in Sonoma. Sonoma is all about life,<br />

about taste and enjoying each day.<br />

Chris Loxton is thrilled to release his first tawny Port style wine to<br />

wine club members. Each year he’s been putting aside a barrel of his<br />

Port wine made from Syrah grapes grown here at the winery so that it<br />

can age into what is known as a “Tawny” style. He started the<br />

program with the inaugural vintage in 2002 and each year he’s<br />

topped the barrels with the current vintage wine. That initial barrel<br />

from 2002, the bottled version of which won “Best Port in Sonoma<br />

County” at the Harvest Fair, now contains small amounts of each<br />

successive vintage. Therefore, it now contains some of the wines that<br />

have awarded “Best of Port in Show” three times and runner-up for<br />

“Best Port in Show” twice! He has waited ten years since this wine<br />

was originally put into barrel and it was finally bottled in December<br />

2012.<br />

The wine is called “Décarda,” which is Portuguese for a decade, to<br />

celebrate its ten years in barrel. It is the first of Loxton’s Tawny Ports<br />

to be bottled with a production just yealding 550 bottles. <strong>This</strong> wine is<br />

currently available to the wine club on a one bottle allocation limit.<br />

To celebrate this release there’s a short video about the wine.<br />

The inspiration came many years ago at one of his father’s <strong>Wine</strong><br />

and Food Society dinners where<br />

he had the privilege of tasting<br />

wines presented by the winemaker<br />

for the Australian firm Hardy’s,<br />

who presented vintage and tawny<br />

style Ports that were originally<br />

from the same tank. One had been<br />

bottled after 18 months (Vintage)<br />

and the other at 20 years (Show<br />

Tawny).<br />

<strong>This</strong> is a wine to sip after<br />

dinner, by itself or maybe with<br />

blue cheese, while thinking of<br />

what has happened over ten years.<br />

Age has lead to some browning<br />

and lightening of color (just as a<br />

cut apple goes brown, hence the<br />

tawny descriptor), has also given<br />

incredible richness to the wine<br />

and this leads to a warm and<br />

lingering finish.<br />

Mendocino County in Northern California is noted for its<br />

distinctive wines and the independent spirit of its winemakers. True<br />

to their pioneering nature, ten diverse vintners from separate regions<br />

of Mendocino County have united to create and launch their own<br />

collaborative wine collection. “CORO” means ‘chorus’ in Italian and<br />

Spanish and Coro Mendocino is now releasing the 10th Anniversary<br />

Coro <strong>Wine</strong>.<br />

Coro Mendocino is a class of ultra-premium wines made to<br />

showcase the rich heritage and unique characteristics of Mendocino<br />

County. Made entirely in Mendocino County from County fruit, each<br />

Coro wine shares a juried quality standard and a trademarked<br />

package.<br />

Anderson Valley <strong>Wine</strong>growers Host<br />

16th Annual Pinot Noir Festival<br />

—<br />

Tickets are almost sold out for the 16th annual Anderson Valley<br />

Pinot Noir Festival, May 17-19. The event, which is put on by The<br />

Anderson Valley <strong>Wine</strong>growers <strong>As</strong>sociation (AVWA), will feature an<br />

expanded grand tasting that highlights 45 producers pouring only<br />

Anderson Valley Pinot Noir and Pinot Noir rosé.<br />

The Pinot Noir Festival weekend kicks off on Friday, May 17 with<br />

a day-long technical conference aimed at members of the trade and avid<br />

Pinot consumers. Conference topics include: the Navarro River watershed,<br />

a Wiley Vineyard focus tasting led by owner Brad Wiley, a history<br />

of Pinot Noir clone 828 by Rusty Gaffney of PinotFile, a tasting of white<br />

Pinot Noirs, barrel selection strategies for Pinot Noir, and more.<br />

The technical conference will be followed by a casual, outdoor<br />

barbecue at Scharffenberger Cellars, featuring plenty of BBQ delicacies,<br />

a live band, and Pinot Noirs from a variety of producers.<br />

After a press tasting on Saturday morning, the grand tasting will<br />

again take place in the vineyards at Goldeneye <strong>Wine</strong>ry in Philo. Pinots<br />

will be paired with grilled lamb, local cheeses, wood-fired pizzas from<br />

Piacci Pizza in Fort Bragg, Pinot Noir chocolate by Essence by Chocolate,<br />

and other delicious bites. There will also be live music and a silent<br />

auction to benefit the valley’s only medical facility, the Anderson Valley<br />

Health Center in Boonville.<br />

On Saturday evening, May 18, local wineries will host four winemaker<br />

dinners in Anderson Valley and on the Mendocino Coast. <strong>This</strong><br />

year’s dinners include: Roederer, Handley and Esterlina at Roederer<br />

Estate; Lazy Creek and Navarro at Aquarelle restaurant; Goldeneye,<br />

Baxter and Fulcrum at The Little River Inn; and Husch and Greenwood<br />

Ridge at The Philo Apple Farm.<br />

The weekend will conclude on Sunday, May 19 with open houses<br />

at Anderson Valley wineries, featuring special tastings, educational<br />

talks, music and food.<br />

For tickets or more information, call, (707) 895-WINE.<br />

“<strong>This</strong> is a milestone year for Coro, and this 10th anniversary<br />

launch could not be done in any other part of the world,” said Dennis<br />

Patton, <strong>Wine</strong>maker for Golden <strong>Wine</strong>s. “We actually taste each other’s<br />

wines and share constructive advice. That is remarkable in the wine<br />

world. We did this to prove that we can and do work together in true<br />

collaboration, and that our wines are world-class.”<br />

According to Scott Schneider, the President and CEO for Visit<br />

Mendocino County, Coro is a central part of the County wine and<br />

personality story. “We are all about unique experiences, wine and<br />

people. Coro is a living example of this lifestyle and community. And<br />

of course, it is an industry first.”<br />

Each Coro wine must contain between 40-70% Zinfandel and<br />

adhere to strict production protocols set by Consortium Mendocino.<br />

The 2010 vintage was made by ten wineries: Brutocao, Claudia<br />

Springs, Fetzer, Golden, Mendocino Vineyards, McFadden, McNab<br />

Ridge, Parducci, Philo Ridge, and Ray's Station.<br />

The Coro Tenth Anniversary Collection will formally launch on<br />

Lone Oak Lodge – Clean, Affordable, Convenient<br />

BY LAURA NESS<br />

A cozy place to stay in Monterey is the Lone Oak Lodge, on North<br />

Fremont Street, just off Highway 1, past the Monterey Fairgrounds.<br />

<strong>This</strong> is your basic old-fashioned style motel that makes car camping<br />

easy. You pull up to your room, unload, boom, you’re done. All onestory<br />

units, with pleasant bathrooms, clean, comfortable and<br />

equipped with wireless everywhere. Fresh flowers in each room are a<br />

nice touch, and each unit has a fridge and a coffee maker – thank<br />

goodness!<br />

Creature comforts are important, and this quiet, easy-to-find and<br />

easy-to-love, family-friendly lodge has decent towels, great water<br />

pressure and plenty of space to stash all your stuff. The fireplaces in<br />

some rooms are quite cozy. Everything is clean and in working order.<br />

The best part about Lone Oak is location, location, location: you’re<br />

only minutes away from all the sights and sounds of nearby Monterey<br />

Peninsula and Pebble Beach, but you don’t hear any of it from the<br />

rooms, thanks to layout and setback off the highway. There are several<br />

restaurants in proximity, including a serviceable Chinese for takeout,<br />

and drug store, bottle shop and breakfast spot within walking<br />

distance if you’ve had enough time behind the wheel. You seriously<br />

can’t beat Lone Oak for value, convenience, comfort and quiet. A<br />

good nights’ sleep is what you need most after an exhausting day<br />

touring 17 Mile Drive, playing a round on a championship golf<br />

course, gazing at the wonders of the deep at the Monterey Bay<br />

Aquarium, playing tourist on Cannery Row and Fisherman’s Wharf<br />

and winetasting and people watching on the storied streets of Carmel.<br />

Featuring family suites, single rooms and king suites with in-room<br />

spas and fireplaces, an on-site indoor Jacuzzi, dry sauna, exercise<br />

equipment, Scuba Diver rise area, plus an outdoor barbecue area<br />

make the Lone Oak Lodge an ideal home base when you’re in the<br />

Monterey area.<br />

Celebrate National Great Outdoors Month<br />

in June, National Picnic Month in July<br />

Hyatt Carmel Highlands overlooking Big sur Coast<br />

invites You to take a Hike and Let them show You the Beauty!<br />

Hyatt Carmel Highlands Overlooking Big Sur Coast, Carmel’s<br />

quintessential destination retreat, is celebrating National Great<br />

Outdoors Month in June and National Picnic month in July with a<br />

new hiking and picnic package! Guests will meander beautiful coastal<br />

trails experience scenic views, flora, fauna and fun with an<br />

experienced Big Sur guide. The chefs have prepared a picnic lunch<br />

sure to match the incredible scenery of the Big Sur coastline. The<br />

keepsake picnic backpack will forever remind you of this stunning<br />

experience. Package prices begin at $600. (Package available<br />

beginning June 1, 2013)<br />

Hikes are led by Stephan Copeland, a Big Sur hiking expert. For<br />

the past 32 years Copeland has been in the business of providing<br />

guided hikes and walks, for people of varying capabilities, into the<br />

breathtaking Big Sur Wilderness. Let him introduce you to the<br />

migrating California Grey Whale, where you can get wet from the<br />

spout; listen to the sounds of cascading water flowing down a canyon<br />

laced with 7- and 8-hundred-year-old California Coastal Redwoods;<br />

explore the most secret of water falls and so much more. One of the<br />

guided hikes will take you to the only forest in Big Sur where the only<br />

thing between you and the sky are at least 10 thousand Monarch<br />

Butterflies.<br />

Hyatt Carmel Highlands offers several different hiking excursions:<br />

the Walk of the Married redwoods<br />

<strong>As</strong> one drives to the trail head, it would be impossible not to<br />

notice the incredible vistas this journey through the Big Sur hillside<br />

offers. The actual 2- to 2.5-hour walk, mostly in flat terrain, traverses<br />

one of the lushest canyons within the area, accompanied all the way<br />

by the sights and sounds of rushing water. One can truly get a feel for<br />

the serene beauty of Big Sur. <strong>This</strong> walk also features a very special<br />

visual surprise provided by Nature herself … let them show it to you.<br />

robinson Jeffers Walk<br />

If the contrast between green and blue excites you, this walk is for<br />

you. <strong>This</strong> walk is the best example of Robinson Jeffer’s famous quote,<br />

“Big Sur is the greatest meeting of land and sea in the world.” Hikers<br />

will first make their way up through a lavishly twisting canyon,<br />

overlooking terracing waterfalls, while visually experiencing shades of<br />

green that one never knew existed, eventually making their way to<br />

one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world. <strong>This</strong> walk clearly<br />

offers a much more intimate relationship with the nature of the area.<br />

After leaving the canyon, head down to the sea, where the land seems<br />

to melt into the ocean; and where the seal, otter and occasional<br />

humpback whale might be observed. Never will you see such various<br />

shades of blue.<br />

70<br />

Meditation Walk<br />

For the guest that is striving to attain that inner peace that only<br />

meditation can provide, consider the Meditation Walk, A three-hour<br />

experience that starts with a little yoga. Then off to the trail head a 30<br />

minute drive back into the wilderness, with views of the California<br />

Coast that only the Red Tail Hawk sees. Upon arrival at the trail head,<br />

walkers will embark upon the trail and traverse the Little Sur River<br />

for one hour; silently, while trying to attain oneness with the forest.<br />

After one hour, break for lunch. At this time conversation is<br />

permitted. After lunch, a little more yoga, and then the return to the<br />

trail head, once again, silently. The rewards from this experience last<br />

eternally.<br />

Bluff trail<br />

<strong>This</strong> particular walk glides above the ocean about 80 feet from the<br />

sea, on a bluff where guests will walk south observing a myriad of<br />

both plant and animal life. The smell of the sea coupled with that of<br />

California sage and a hint of fennel, are overpowering on this walk<br />

that will follow a path to the seashore. A good part of this walk is<br />

spent discovering the various coves that are secretly tucked away<br />

throughout this beach walk.<br />

Waterfall Walk<br />

<strong>This</strong> particular trek introduces you to the Big Sur River, the largest<br />

river in the area and specifically shows you two great secluded<br />

getaways; a perfect place for a picnic with someone you really care<br />

about. If the river is cooperating, hikers will cross it and search out<br />

some beautiful meadows where one might find a fallen hawk or owl<br />

feather. At this point, head east to view a fairly recent waterfall<br />

stunning to the eye. For the person who might want a tad more<br />

exercise, Hyatt Carmel Highlands offers one hike, rather than walk.<br />

<strong>This</strong> hike combines the best ingredients of all the walks in that it<br />

provides the added stimulus of sight from 500 feet of elevation! The<br />

beauty of Big Sur from this elevation is unparalleled.<br />

travel package available beginning June 1, 2013, visit<br />
