Wineology 

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 

How important is the pairing of wine with food? 

For those of us who put as much care in choosing a wine as they 

do food, it helps to know a little bit of the thought process that goes 

into pairing wine with food. 

The wine-and-food pairing dilemma comes about because wine 

should be treated just like a food. After all, it has flavors, weight, aftertaste, 

structure and nuance. Ignore this fact and you risk a disappointment 

with either the wine or the food. That’s why books are 

written and classes are given on the subject. 

Based on my experience using the simple and basic guidelines 

below, I may not achieve the absolute perfect pairing of wine with 

food, but I definitely optimize my wine and food experience. If the 

perfect pairing is a moment of pure harmony that is unmistakable and 

often unforgettable, the optimized pairing is one without any obvious 

clash of food and wine components. 

Fortunately, the vast majority of the pairings I’ve had based on the 

rules below worked well enough to create a pleasing, if not perfect, 

combination. 

Pair the “weight“ of the food with that of the wine. Lighter foods 

with delicate wines (usually white), and heavier foods with full-body 

wines. 

Pair fruity wines with dishes topped with fruity sauces. Try to 

match the fruit flavors, if possible. 

Pleasing combinations can be achieved through the combination of 

complementary flavors in the wine and food or with contrasting 

flavors of the wine and food. The ultimate contrast pairing is a salty 

English Stilton cheese with a sweet dessert wine. 

When you wish to spotlight a very special wine, choose a dish that 

is almost neutral in flavor so that it doesn’t compete with the wine 

Dishes with a strong amount of vinegar, i.e. salad dressings, almost 

always make a wine taste bad. The best bet is a wine with high acidity, 

such as a sparkling wine, Riesling or Beaujolais. 

It’s perfectly acceptable to drink red wine with fish, keeping Rule 

Number 1 in mind. Salmon pairs wonderfully with Pinot Noir. 

Choosing a wine style that originates from the same country as the 

food style improves your odds of creating a good combination. Think 

Italian wine (or Italian varietals grown in California) with Italian food. 

When in doubt, always choose your personal wine preference, 

regardless of the food. 

Great wine and food pairing experiences are truly unforgettable. 

You’ll know it when the moment a perfect pairing happens. A bite of 

food followed by a sip of wine seems to melt together on your palate, 

one insperable from the other. 

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.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINE COUNTRY NEWS 

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 

SAUSAL VINEYARD & WINERY 

Pure ZIN Pleasure in Alexander Valley 

18 

Sausal siblings: Peachie, Ed, Cindy and Dave 

Sausal Winery in Alexander Valley – no 

world-famous architect built it, no priceless 

art collection is housed in it, and no sumptuous 

gardens with waterfalls and statuary are 

to be found in it. What visitors will find at 

Sausal is the Demostene family, who has lived 

and worked in the Alexander Valley for generations 

and who make some of California’s 

finest Zinfandel wines. 

The family purchased the Sausal Ranch 

(named for the creek that flows through it 

into the Russian River) in 1956. The next 

generation of Demostenes founded the 

winery in 1973, in large part to take advantage 

of the existence of Zinfandel grape vines 

that had been producing high quality grapes 

since 1877. That’s not a typographical error, 

and you can prove that for yourself when you 

visit the winery to taste living history – 

Zinfandel wines that are made from vines that 

are 50, 90 and 130+ years old. 

Follow Hwy. 128 along the eastern edge of 

the Alexander Valley to the winery, then down 

the winery’s driveway to a rustic, barn-red 

wooden building with a trellised porch that 

houses the tasting room. Simple like the rest 

of the winery, the tasting room is not a minimall 

teeming with wine country merchandise. 

There is only some nice logo clothing 

and some sleeping and scratching stations 

that exist for the pleasure of the two winery 

cats, Sophie and Gypsie, who wander in and 

out as the mood takes them. 

What you’re there for is a treasure trove of 

old-vine Zinfandels, plus some Cabernet 

Sauvignon and Sangiovese, all from estateowned 

vineyards that surround the winery. 

You will have to taste for yourself to see 

which is your favorite – none will disappoint 

you, and the 2007 vintage Century Vines 

Zinfandel will make you a true believer in the 

mystique surrounding old-vine Zinfandel. All 

the Zinfandels are dry-farmed for added fruit 

intensity and the oldest vines are head trained 

in the traditional manner, as you would 

expect. 

A visit any time of year would be 

rewarding, but if you find yourself in the area 

on Saturday, June 26th, don’t miss the Sausal 

Sock Hop Party, an open-to-the-public celebration 

themed to the 1950s because of the 

Demostene family’s purchase of the winery 

property in that decade. There will be food 

and wine, music from the ’50s, an Elvis 

impersonator and classic cars of the period. 

So put on your poodle skirts and dig out 

those pop-it beads or roll up your T-shirt 

sleeves (cigarette pack optional) and grow 

some sideburns. The party lasts from 10 a.m. 

to 4 p.m. and costs only $15 for all-day fun 

and great Zinfandel. 

The Sausal Vineyard & Winery tasting 

room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

and is wheelchair accessible. Picnickers are 

welcome to enjoy themselves on a trellised 

patio shaded by luscious grape vines, a traditional 

Italian touch. The winery is located at 

7370 Hwy. 128, just a few miles east of the 

charming town of Healdsburg. For more 

information, telephone 1-800-500-2285 or 

go to the website at www.sausalwinery.com.

WINERY FEATURE | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK 

BENNETT LANE WINERY 

Anxiously Awaited 2006 Maximus to be Released March 27 

by Charles Neave 

It was in their travels through Italy that 

Bennett Lane Winery founders and owners 

Randy and Lisa Lynch began an enthusiastic 

and continuing love affair with fine wine. To 

pursue their passion they found a spot at the 

northern end of the famous Napa Valley 

known as the “Pinnacle of the Valley.” It is the 

place where the Vaca Mountains on the east 

side of the valley meet up with the Mayacamas 

to the west. This combination of cliffs 

and other geographical features, combined 

with acres of pristine vineyards, also offers 

spectacular vistas. And there is no place 

better from which to view it than at this 

charming small winery Randy and Lisa 

started about seven years ago. 

This also makes the winery an ideal for 

picnicking, with unobstructed panoramic 

views of Mount St. Helena and the Palisades. 

The grounds are impeccable but also very 

welcoming, as is the tasting room. And small 

groups are welcome to take advantage of this 

beautiful spot to relax, have some Bennett 

Lane wine, and as simple or elaborate picnic 

as you desire, depending on what you pick 

up the markets visitors will find in the towns 

and alongside the roads throughout the Napa 

Valley. 

A visitor to Bennett Lane affords tasters 

another rarity: a likely meeting – and perhaps 

a last minute barrel tasting if you are lucky – 

with Randy or Lisa (or both). Or perhaps a 

personal tour of the winery with one of the 

knowledgeable, fun and friendly tasting room 

staff. 

When it came to choosing a direction for 

their new winery, Randy and Lisa decided at 

the beginning to create a classic red wine that 

would easily find a place at the table. They are 

both wine and food lovers, as are so many 

discerning wine lovers. And they did, most 

definitely, succeed in this very European 

approach. 

The Bennett Lane wine named Maximus, 

after the Roman Emperor Magnus Maximus – 

himself no small fan of the wine grape – was 

their first bottling. Since that initial vintage 

many of the leading wine experts and publications 

in the country and beyond have identified 

themselves as among the winery’s 

biggest fans. 

The much-awaited 2006 Maximus is a 

carefully crafted blend of Cabernet, Merlot, 

Syrah with a touch of Malbec and Petit 

Verdot. It is made mostly from Cabernet 

Sauvignon (64%), and at $35 a bottle is 

unquestionably one of the best deals in the 

valley for a Napa Valley Cabernet-based wine. 

In fact Bennett Lane’s Maximus is consistently 

featured in leading publications as a “Best 

Value.” 

The wine, which was aged for 14 months 

in new French oak barrels, will be released to 

an anxious public at the winery on March 27 

from noon until 4 p.m. It should be a memorable 

day for the legion of Maximus and 

Bennett Lane fans. What a perfect way to 

usher in a glorious springtime in Wine 

Country, as buds will soon burst on the vines 

and another vintage begins to take shape. 

In addition to the famous Maximus, today 

their roster of wines includes a Los Carneros 

Reserve Chardonnay using only Chardonnay 

grapes from the Sangiacomo Vineyards 

located in Carneros, then aged in 30 percent 

new French oak for seven months. Then 


WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINERY FEATURE 

there is a White Maximus. With 

aromas of orange blossom and 

honeysuckle, it displays incredible 

notes of mandarin orange, 

key lime and white peaches. 

There is also the Bennett Lane 

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. 

It is a seductive, inky, deep dark 

ruby in color, with aromas of 

cocoa, black cherry, deep dark 

roses and ripe purple plums. On 

the palate there are rich flavors of 

jammy cherries and black raspberries 

that lead into an elegant 

finish with layers of rich texture 

and incredible length. To finish 

off the roster is their dessert wine, 

made in very limited quantities 

(just a hundred cases of 375 ml 

bottles) from Cabernet, Petite 

Sirah and Old Vine Carignane 

grapes. Just imagine chocolate 

covered cherries! 

You can sample many of these 

wines in their stylish but casual 

tasting room. A combination of 

Country French and California, 

with doors leading to that patio 

and lawn, it is the perfect spot to 

sample Bennett Lane wines for 

the first time, or to mingle with 

people who have been coming to 

the winery since the first day. 

Since those earliest days, the 

plantings outside have matured, 

the roster of wines has grown, 

but that essential mission, to 

make the best wines possible, 

and in their own style, has 

endured. 

You don’t want to miss the 

winery’s entrance so watch carefully 

when you head north out of 

Calistoga. At 3340 Highway 128, 

it will be on the right side a few 

miles after you leave town. The 

tasting room is open daily from 

10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. by appointment. 

For more information, give 

them a call at 1-877-MAX-NAPA 

(629-6272) or go to their website 

at www.bennettlane.com.

Perfect Pairs by 

Louis M. Martini Sonoma Valley 

Monte Rosso Vineyard 

Cabernet Sauvignon Paired with 

Coffee Rubbed Rib Eye Steak 

It isn’t often that the word “gorgeous” is the right word to use when 

describing a wine, but when you’re describing the 2005 Louis M. 

Martini Sonoma Valley Monte Rosso Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, it 

is certainly the right word. 

The amazing 231-acre vineyard on the Sonoma side of the Mayacamas 

Mountain Range became part of the Martini acreage in 1938 

when founder Louis M. Martini purchased the historic Goldstein 

Ranch with its Pre-Prohibition vineyards and renamed it Monte Rosso 

after its red volcanic soil. Louis M.’s son, Louis P. Martini carried on 

his father’s dedication to creating wines of quality and distinction, 

serving as an appropriate steward of the land and, in his turn passing 

the mantle of winemaker to his son, Michael. 

It is this third generation Michael who enthusiastically shares a 

personal favorite recipe with Wine Country This Week: Coffee 

Rubbed Rib Eye, along with his suggestion for an excellent companion 

wine: the 2005 Louis Martini Sonoma Valley Monte Rosso Vineyard 

Cabernet Sauvignon. This rich and distinctive wine has a flavor intensity 

that is expressive of the rugged mountain terrior. It’s aged in 

medium and medium plus toasted oak (90% French and 10% American) 

barrels and this broader depth of toast and mix of oaks brings a 

great depth of flavor, adding notes of intense vanilla bean, licorice, 

mocha and spice. These flavors perfectly complement the coffee and 

spices in the dry rub. 

Though totally enjoyable in their youth, with a few years of 

cellaring wines crafted from grapes grown in the famous 

Monte Rosso Vineyards, home to some of the oldest 

Cabernet Sauvignon vines in northern California, will 

improve for 25 years or longer. With that promise, the 

Coffee Rubbed Rib Eye recipe would be a good one to add 

to your personal recipe file. It is exceptionally easy to 

prepare and the spices in the rub are not exotic or 

“hard to find” but are probably resting in your spice 

rack even now. 

Among the accolades earned by the wine is a rating 

of 91+ awarded by Robert M. Parker, Jr. in the Wine 

Advocate. 

For a preview taste of this gorgeous wine stop in at 

the Louis M. Martini tasting room at 254 South St. 

Helena Highway (Highway 29) in St. Helena. It retails 

for $85.00 bottle. Tasting hours are ten am to six pm 

daily. For more information and news about the winery 

and the wines click onto www.louismartini.com.

one side of each steak. Cook the steak, rub side down, until 

golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the steak over, 

cook for 2 minutes and then transfer to a baking sheet and 

cook in the oven to medium-rare doneness, about 8 to 10 

minutes. Remove and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. 



Rosé Avengers & Producers’ Annual ‘Pink Out! SF’ 

Premium Rosé Continues Double-Digit Growth, Outperforming 

Overall Table Wine Market, Reports The Nielsen Company 

Rosé Avengers & Producers (RAP) announced that its signature 

annual tasting event, PINK OUT! SF will be held on Tuesday, May 11. 

The celebration will take place at Butterfly restaurant on the Embarcadero 

at Pier 33. Overlooking San Francisco Bay, the 6th annual fine 

rosé tasting will feature 40 participating wineries pouring still and 

sparkling rosés from around the world, with many of the winemakers 

who craft them in attendance. Butterfly’s executive chef and owner 

Robert Lam will create rosé-inspired Pan-Asian appetizers from 

sustainably and organically sourced ingredients. 

PINK OUT! SF underscores the continued ascendancy of the $8 

and above rosé category. According to The Nielsen Company, 

premium rosé table wines outpaced the market, growing at doubledigit 

levels on both dollars and volume in 2009. Premium Rosé wines 

grew by 13.5% on dollars, and 12.8% on volume, 5 times faster on 

dollars and 12 times faster on volume than the overall Table Wine 

category. The Table Wine category grew at 2.6% on dollars, and just 

0.9% on volume (Total U.S. Food, Drug, and Major Liquor Markets, 

52 weeks ending 12/12/09). 

“Rosé wines continue to rise in popularity and maturity,” said 

Danny Brager, vice president, group client director, Beverage Alcohol, 

The Nielsen Company. “At Nielsen, we measure what consumers 

watch and what consumers buy and we find that consumers are 

giving rosé wine more attention as they make their wine selections, 

while retailers are giving rosés more prominence among their offerings.” 

Additionally, while the overall Table Wine category has an average 

price of $6.10 for an equivalent 750 ml package size, the Premium 

Rosé category's average price is $10.17 -- a 67% premium. "That's 

good for retailers looking for a trade up option in this time of trading 

down," said Brager. 

From its inaugural event in 2005, PINK OUT! tastings have drawn 

full house crowds. This year is expected to sell-out in advance once 

again. The trade and media portion runs 3:30 to 6 p.m. The consumer 

tasting is open 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Consumer tickets are $35 in advance 

online only at www.rapwine.com, and $45 at the door if available.

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK 

Trinchero Napa Valley: Single Vineyard Wines of Great Distinction 

The venerable Trinchero family, of Italian heritage, has been 

making wine in Napa Valley for more than sixty years, long enough to 

know well how the many different soils and climates of the entire 

region create unique flavor and texture profiles in the wines that are 

made there. To demonstrate how soil and climate, known collectively 

as terroir, influence the finished wine, the Trincheros have formed a 

new winery called Trinchero Napa Valley, dedicated exclusively to 

Bordeaux grape varieties, notably Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, 

Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Sauvignon Blanc. 

They have taken advantage of their ownership of seven prime 

valley vineyards to showcase single-vineyard wines, and their tasting 

room offers an unusual opportunity to taste how vineyard location 

makes all the difference in what is in the bottle, even when the grape 

variety is the same and the winemaking techniques are similar. Case 

production is small for each vineyard, and most of the wines are available 

only at the tasting room or to wine club members, very good 

reasons to treat yourself to a visit to this notable facility. 

Located just two miles north of the wine-country-mecca town of 

St. Helena, Trinchero Napa Valley 

occupies the site of the former 

winery Folie à Deux (now also 

owned by the Trinchero family), 

and its tasting room is housed in a 

restored 90-year-old farmhouse 

surrounded by estate vineyards. 

The approach takes you through a 

rose garden with a circular 

splashing fountain and views of 

pine-tree-studded hills to the west 

and the steeply-rising hills at the 

eastern edge of the valley. In warm 

weather, a roofed patio opens out 

from the tasting room with 

24 



inviting tables and chairs, and on 

colder days, a whitewashed fireplace 

provides welcome warmth. 

A cozy living room annex with 

deep armchairs and sofa invites 

you to linger and relax as you 

enjoy your wine tasting. For the 

picnic-minded, tables and 

benches with vineyard views are 

scattered beneath towering California 

oaks. 

Inside, you’ll find a relaxed but 

attentive tasting room staff who 

enjoys showing visitors the dramatic differences in taste and texture of 

wines that come from different terroirs. You will definitely want to try 

winemaker Mario Monticelli’s newly-released 2007 Haystack Vineyard 

Cabernet Sauvignon. Robert M. 

Parker, Jr., one of the world’s most 

respected wine reviewers, rated this 

wine with 93 points (out of 100), 

high praise indeed. Another new 

release, called Signature, is one of 

two of the winery’s blended wines: 

it is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, 

especially blended by Mario from 

Trinchero Napa Valley vineyards. 

(The other is Meritage.) 

The tasting room is located at 

3070 N. St. Helena Hwy. (Rte. 29). 

It is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 

p.m. and is wheelchair accessible. For guests who want to delve more 

deeply into the character of the wines, daily seminars are available by 

appointment, and include a tour of the state-of-the-art winemaking 

facility next to the tasting room. For reservations and information 

about tasting and seminar fees, call (707) 963-1160 or visit the winery

Tasting Room of the Week: 

SCHARFFENBERGER CELLARS 

by Abigail P. Zimmerman 

Scharffenberger Cellars pairs seamlessly 

the love of exquisite sparkling wine and local, 

modern art. Located in the bucolic town of 

Philo, Scharffenberger Cellars is a premier 

wine country destination and embodies the 

rugged elegance of Mendocino County. 

Nestled in the gentle hills rising from the 

floor of Anderson Valley, Scharffenberger’s 

tasting room has a charming and relaxed feel, 

with a welcoming ambiance. The tasting 

room regularly features new artists, so visitors 

can taste the Scharffenberger sparkling wine 

while perusing the latest display of local 

artwork. The current exhibit, running 

through April 15, is called “Los Trios 

Robertos” and features the works of Bob 

Rhoades, Bob Jarrell and Bob Zvolensky. 

Scharffenberger is famed for sparkling 

wines and today, is firmly established as one of 

America’s finest producers. Exceptional 

sparkling wines are served in the tasting room: 

Non Vintage Brut and a Brut Rosé. 

The celebrated Scharffenberger Brut is 

blended with two-thirds Pinot Noir and onethird 

Chardonnay. The predominant Pinot 

Noir creates a sparkling wine that is fruit 

forward with noticeable aromas of strawberry/raspberry 

and plum. The Chardonnay 

expresses itself with subtle tropical flavors of 

pineapple with pear. All the fruit for Scharffenberger 

Brut undergoes 100% malolactic 

fermentation which produces a wine that is 

rich with complex flavors and a round, 

lengthy finish. 

Scharffenberger Rosé, like the Brut, is 

made by the traditional méthode champenoise 

process, whereby the wines are individually 

bottle-fermented before being 

riddled and disgorged. Most of the base wines 

underwent malolactic fermentation, which 

softens and rounds out the blend. The grapes 

are sourced from vineyards in the Anderson 

Valley as well as other premium quality vineyards 

in Mendocino County with whom 

Scharffenberger has long-term contracts. This 

type of vineyard selection allows long-time 

winemaker Tex Sawyer to choose from the 

best vineyards in the area, enabling Scharffenberger 

to produce its trademark cuvée. 

Three limited-edition sparkling wines are 

available in the tasting room only: the Scharffenberger 

Extra Dry (a sweeter version of the 

Brut and composed of the same blend), a 

Scharffenberger Cremant (produced using 

less sugar to yeast rations and 2/3 standard 

pressure of sparkling wines) and a Scharffenberger 

Blanc de Blanc (100% Chardonnay 

sparkling wine and a little over half the wine 

underwent malolactic fermentation, which 

softens and rounds out the blend). Three still 

wines are also served: a Scharffenberger Pinot 

Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah. 

The history of Scharffenberger Cellars 

begins in 1981 in the heart of California’s 

Anderson Valley. Situated only miles from the 

coastal influences of the Pacific Ocean, 

Scharffenberger Cellars also enjoys the deep 

soils and sunshine within the protected 

valley. Originally founded by John Scharffenberger, 

the company has gone through many 

transitions, including a name change . Today, 

the name and quality of the wine have been 

restored back to Scharffenberger Cellars 

under the new management of Maisons 

Marques & Domaines. The first release of the 

new Scharffenberger Cellars will be Scharffenberger 

Brut. 

With the many changes at Scharffenberger 

Cellars, what has remained consistent is the 

quality and the original philosophy behind 

the winemaking. Tex Sawyer, winemaker 

since 1989 continues to manage the winemaking 

program and today works with the 

new ownership to restore the glory of the 

original brand name. 

To reach Scharffenberger Cellars, follow 

Hwy. 101 north to Cloverdale. Take the Hwy. 

128 West turnoff and drive west 35 miles to 

the winery on the right side of the highway at 

8501 Highway 128, Philo. The tasting room is 

open daily 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding major 

holidays. There is a $3 tasting fee. For more 

information, call (707) 895-2957 or go to

Live the Vintner’s Dream in this 5,624 sq. ft. French Country Estate, (4,464 sq. ft. living area, 535sq. ft, attached garage and 625 sq. ft. detached garage), 

set on a gently sloping five-acre lot of your choice, and let us plant and manage four acres of Pinot Noir or Chardonnay vines, for the turnkey Price of $1,499,000. 

Let Us Create This Wonderful Vineyard Estate Lifestyle for You and Your Family in 

the Heart of the Central Coast Wine Region, on the Beautiful Arroyo Grande Mesa 

Arroyo Grande resident, dentist and developer, 

Robert M. Anderson, has spent the past 

18 years multi-tasking on the Central Coast of 

California, raising four “blessedly healthy” 

children with his wife Gretchen, running a 

busy dental practice and designing and developing 

commercial, residential and resort 

projects in such divergent locales as Shell 

Beach, California; Kona, Hawaii; Los Cabos, 

Mexico; Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica; and this 

latest project on the Arroyo Grande Mesa. 

Wanting to capture the essence of the 

vineyard estate lifestyle, Dr. Anderson developed 

this exclusive seven lot subdivision in 

an area of the mesa that has a unique “microclimate,” 

very suitable for grape production. 

He has teamed with a local custom home 

builder and vineyard agricultural professionals, 

in order to offer a turnkey, vineyard 

estate product on these five-acre lots. It 


should be noted that each lot has underground 

utilities (including natural gas) and 

its own well, producing between 72-90 

GPM. 

“The fact that each lot has such highly 

productive wells is important, since water is 

becoming an increasingly scarce and highly 

valued commodity,” says Dr. Anderson. 

Realizing the complexity of the process of 

buying a lot, designing and permitting a 

home, planting and managing a boutique 

vineyard, Dr. Anderson and his team have 

sought to completely eliminate the stress of 

such a daunting task by offering five or six 

pre-designed home models to choose from, in 

addition to professional vineyard planting 

services. 

“Our team is able to offer the client as 

stress free an experience as possible by 

providing quality home construction, vineyard 

planting and management and design 

assistance, if the client wishes to design his or 

her own home.” 

According to Dr. Anderson, “We decided 

to commission the artist rendering of the 

French Country Estate home to help clients 

visualize the lifestyle we are able to create. 

This particular home has a very classical style 

and a well thought out floor plan that is 

universally appealing.” 

He continues, “the fact that we are located 

in the heart of the Central Coast wine region 

and minutes away from three championship 

golf courses, the Oceano dunes and the ever 

popular Pismo Beach, this project is perhaps 

without equal here on the Central Coast.” 

For more information and an area map, 

Dr. Anderson can be reached at (805) 748- 

6228, or the sales agent, Dee Anna Shrefler, at 

(805) 473-3182.

Welcome to

V A L L E Y 

Vezér Family Vineyards in Suisun Valley 


Though often – too often – overlooked, Suisun Valley is one of the 

last of California’s remaining hidden gems, despite the fact that it is 

barely a dozen miles from the City of Napa. But for years Suisun has 

been known as a trusted and quality stand-in to the star winemakers 

of Napa and Sonoma. 

Now, with the recent introduction of Frank and Liz Vezér and their 

best friends and partners, Sam and Mimi Mizirawi, things are 

changing. 

To begin with, the Vezer’s bought the 30-acre ranch and vineyard 

formerly contracted to the “Sin Zin” people and “Ravenswood.” That 

was followed in very short order by their purchase of the entire 

Western “Pony Express” village of Mankas Corners, a property with 

160 years of colorful history. Then they acquired Suisun Valley’s 

Crown Jewel, the Blue Victorian in the very heart of this valley of 

rolling hills, farms, pasture and vineyards. 

Also a 160-year-old homestead, it has towering century-old date 

palms and a gorgeous and, yes, a very blue Victorian manor. All three

locations are working winery sites, with some of the most unique and 

hospitable tasting rooms you have ever experienced, stocked with an 

array of good wines and staffed by people who are simply glad you 

stopped by and who want to share the area’s history, stories and wines 

with you. 

However, what is the best part about the Vezér Family wineries and 

this tranquil valley are their wines. There are the crisp, tropical fruit 

whites that even red wine drinker would love, and then there are the 

Vezér reds. Reds that are lush, jammy and with a silky smooth finish. 

And all their wines pair perfectly with food; in my mind the ultimate 

test of any wine. 

All of the wines from Vezér and Blue Victorian have won awards, 

and most of these awards are Best in Class, double gold and gold. “We 

are thrilled that we have just won gold at the New York’s International

for their 2006 Cab,” said Frank Vezér. Also, at a blind tasting recently 

held at the elegant Bay Leaf Restaurant in Napa, Vezér’s 2006 Cabernet 

Sauvignon was unanimously preferred over a famous 97 point Napa 

Valley Cabernet. 

One cannot write an article on Vezér and Suisun Valley without 

mentioning the La Salette, if it is not already known as the world’s 

most exquisite Petite Syrah blend, it is certainly known as the world’s 

most expensive, where a magnum of La Salette sold to two investors 

for $30,000.00 in a live charity auction. Have no fear though, in the 

tasting room a bottle is far more affordable price, though it is indisputably 

a wine for those special occasions. 

But Vezér is all about hospitality and family, and this is the main 

reason why Suisun Valley is being recognized as the “wine hospitality 

valley.” The Vezér family warmly invites you to visit all of the 

twelve wineries in the valley, and to make it a full weekend destination. 

You can even plan a dinner at the Vintage Café, right next 

to one of the Vezér tasting rooms, and spend the night in one of the 

areas many fine hotels. 

For more information on this special part of the Northern California 

Wine Country, go to SuisunValleyTheNapaBackroad.com for 

more details. And be sure to visit the Vezér website at www.Vezer-

NAPA VALLEY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK 


For many people, good wine tastes even 

better when paired with good food, preferably 

in a comfortable and often stylish 

setting. At Napa Valley’s hilltop winery, 

Rutherford Hill, this philosophy is coming to 

life in a new partnership with former model 

and celebrity designer Monica Pedersen of 

HGTV. As part of this alliance, the winery 

invites you to create your very own “Entertaining 

with Rutherford Hill” design. 

To start with, check out Monica’s 

tablescape themes to get ideas and tips, then 

get creative with your own entertaining 

design and add it to the mosaic to be entered 

for the chance to win a makeover designed by 

Pedersen. 

“Rutherford Hill is known for delicious, 

classic wines, our extensive caves and for 

picnicking, so we partnered with one of 

America’s top designers to work with us to 

create four tablescapes that can be set up 

either outdoors or indoors and each features a 

food and wine pairing with Rutherford Hill 

wines,” says Susan Holmer, Rutherford Hill 

spokesperson. 

“We also have created entertaining videos 

featuring Monica offering tips on designing 

the tablescapes, wine and food pairings, and 

special recipes. Our website has four different 

32 

Celebrity designer Monica Pedersen of HGTV 

Wine & Style at Rutherford Hill Winery 

tablescapes she has designed They are, not at 

all surprisingly, very appropriate to our 

unique property with its view across much of 

the beautiful Napa Valley. They are Americana 

Picnic (we love picnics here in our rustic olive 

grove!), Cozy Luncheon, Contemporary 

Wine Tasting and Napa Style Feast. 

“Visitors to the website are introduced to 

the quintessential Napa Valley Merlot from 

Rutherford Hill – the Bordeaux-style wine it is 

world famous for. You can also learn about 

the Rutherford Hill Chardonnay, Rosé – the 

perfect picnic and summer wine – plus the 

complex Cabernet Sauvignon. After exploring 

Monica’s entertaining ideas consumers are 

invited to enter a contest to win a home entertaining 

makeover from Monica.” 

Entering is simplicity itself. Go the Rutherford 

Hill website (www.rutherfordhill.com), 

click on the link and follow the instructions. 

You can share the experience with others by 

“Telling a Friend,” or look through other 

photos by “Browsing the Mosaic.” Each 

unique photo uploaded will award you one 

entry into the contest to win a home entertaining 

makeover, valued at nearly $5000 (see 

www.rutherfordhill.com for complete rules). 

You can also sample Rutherford Hill wines 

at the four-sided wooden tasting bar at the 

entrance to the caves. Considered to be one of 

the most extensive cave systems in the 

country, they extend a mile and are large 

enough to hold over 8,000 wine-filled oak 

barrels. This environment is regulated by 

nature and it keeps the caves at a constant 

temperature and humidity throughout the 

year. This reduces evaporation from the 

barrels, cuts down on excess exposure to 

oxygen and allows the wine to age gracefully 

and consistently. The result is elegant wines 

with distinct character. 

The winery is located at 200 Rutherford 

Hill Road in Rutherford (right off of the 

Silverado Trail) and you can visit the tasting 

room every day of the week. They’re open 

from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., and tours (which 

include a special cellar tasting) are held at 

11:30 a.m. and 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. Groups 

are limited in size to maximize the experience. 

For more information go to www.rutherfordhill.com 

or call at (707) 963-1871.

Charles Krug Legacy Approaching 150 Years 

Napa Valley’s first winery was founded by Krug, a 24-year-old revolutionary 

who was behind a coup to overthrow the German Parliament. 

He was thrown into prison, to be freed only during a second 

revolution attempt nine months later. While Europe’s great cities – 

Prague, Paris and Berlin – were in a state of political and economic 

disaster, from the California Gold Rush came stories of riches and 

glory, and the promise of unimaginable wealth. It didn’t take Krug long 

to ship off for the New World. 

Charles Krug was educated and entrepreneurial, making the first 

commercial wines in Napa in 1859, and founding Napa Valley’s first 

winery in 1861. He was the first major vintner to apply scientific 

method and European technique to winemaking here. He also 

brought varietal diversity to Napa Valley, first planting then rejecting 

the Mission grape in favor of European varietals. Considering both 

varietals and terroir, he carefully selected rootstocks and vineyard sites 

– a novel concept in the rough-and-tumble Old West. Charles Krug 

not only set the stage, he built the stage for the Napa Valley wine business. 

In the early 1900s another immigrant-entrepreneur, Italian Cesare 

Mondavi, started a grocery business in Minnesota. To supply his 

customers’ winemaking endeavors, Cesare devised an innovative solution: 

he began travelling to California to buy Zinfandel grapes to ship 

home. Meanwhile, Charles Krug’s historic winery in St. Helena was 

falling into ruin. With his grape business booming, Cesare and his wife 

Rosa moved their young family to California, then bought Krug’s 

languishing legacy in 1943. 

The Peter Mondavi Family history at Charles Krug traces almost 70 

years of California history and innovation. 

After graduating from Stanford University, Peter Mondavi Sr. 

pursued wine studies at U.C. Berkeley, where he experimented extensively 

with cold fermentation techniques. Peter was painstakingly 

careful, a quiet and thoughtful scientist to the core. At the family 

winery, he pioneered those cold fermentation processes – the first 

winemaker in California to do so. 

The Mondavis published the first winery newsletter in California 

(Bottles & Bins, 1949) and, in 1953, Life Magazine declared that 

Charles Krug produced the best California white wine of the year. The 

winery’s Tastings on the Lawn, now in their 59th year, are believed to 

be the earliest public wine tastings of their kind and went on to inspire 

a myriad of other tasting events. In 1963, Charles Krug was the first 

Napa Valley winery to import French oak barrels to age wine and was 

among the first to vintage-date varietal wines. 

Charles Krug Winery was featured in two movies, the 1959 Rock 

Hudson/Jean Simmons film, “This Earth is Mine” and, more recently, “A 

Walk in the Clouds” with Keanu Reeves. (Peter Mondavi’s kids – Marc 

and Pete Jr. – remember spying on Hudson and Simmons from their 

hiding place on top of the old redwood wine tanks during the filming. 

Incidentally, their worst job as kids was sanding those same tanks.) 

Mondavi family: Janice, Marc, Angelina, Peter Sr., Blanche, Peter Jr. and Katie 

When Cesare died in 1959, Rosa Mondavi and sons, Peter and 

Robert, ran Charles Krug Winery until 1966 when, after a family rift, 

Robert moved a few miles south to start his own winery, taking his 

inspiration from entrepreneur Krug and launching a veritable empire. 

In 1966, Peter Sr. was named president of Charles Krug. (And he still 

comes into work most every day. That certainly speaks to the power 

of red wine: he recently turned 95!) 

In the 1970s, the winery was producing more than a million cases 

a year and was one of the most commercially successful operations in 

the Napa Valley. The movie “Bottleshock” reminds us that 1973 

marked the vintage of a Napa Valley wine which famously bested the 

best of French wines in an international competition, and 1974 was 

purported to be one of the best vintages in California history. To wit, 

Charles Krug’s F-1 Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from 

1974 was described as a beautiful, alluring wine marked by elegance. 

While Peter’s son, Marc, runs the CK Mondavi brand today, 

younger son, Pete Jr., is proprietor of Charles Krug. This far-looking 

and thoughtful Mondavi has a Masters degree in engineering and an 

MBA. In 1981, using the latest Hewlett Packard technologies (which 

were at the same time creating history in Silicon Valley), Pete refined 

the innovative cold fermentation processes pioneered in Napa Valley 

by his father. 

While life has dealt some blows to the Mondavi clan through the 

years, this family was nonetheless instrumental in the creation of Napa 

Valley as we know it. It is the story of a family united, divided and ultimately 

successful at making great wine. 

To the present: how do Peter’s sons – obviously firmly rooted in the 

wine history of Napa Valley – reconcile traditions with progress, put 

their historic family rupture behind them, learn from it, then move 

bravely into a New World of Wine? 



Continued 

They’ve decided to do so first by respecting their history, then by 

affirming their commitment to preserve and even better the vineyards 

and winery which are their legacy. Pete’s goal is to boost the winery 

out of complacency and into new growth and change. He has literally 

bet the family farm on remaking Charles Krug. 

First, focusing on noble Bordeaux varietals, the family replanted 

their 850 prime Napa Valley acres with high-quality clonal varieties 

specifically matched to the terroir. All the vineyards are now being 

farmed organically and sustainably and the family among the most 

extensive sustainably-farmed landowners in Napa Valley. In addition, 

Pete wants to get his home and, eventually, the winery, off the grid. He 

is focusing on bettering the land to guarantee a healthy legacy for both 

his wines and his kids. As a result, Pete’s efforts have been recognized 

in Vanity Fair’s annual Green Issue among others. 

Next, the family brought in new winemaking talent and built a 

winery-within-a-winery with all new equipment, to treat their 

premium Napa Valley wines in the style they deserve. Recent Charles 

Krug wines – the Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon and Napa Valley 

Sauvignon Blanc, for example ($27 and $18 respectively), exude the 

soul and pedigree of their Napa Valley terroir and are prompting wine 

writers to take a fresh look. Both were named to the San Francisco 

Chronicle’s Top 100 wines of 2007, the Sauvignon Blanc was honored 

as Sunset Magazine’s Top Value White Wine of the Year, and the 

Cabernet is one of Wine & Spirits Magazine’s top Cabernet Sauvignons 

for 2008 and again in 2009. Peter and family are committed to 

crafting elegant, nuanced wines that respect their provenance, not big, 

blowsy fruit bombs with ridiculous price tags. 

This third generation of Napa Valley’s First Family of Wine is determined 

to steward the land, to remain family-owned and focused on 

quality while their competitors (and even their late Uncle Robert's 

winery) are absorbed into “Global Wine.” 

Committed to preserving Charles Krug Winery’s significant historical 

legacy, Peter and sons have restored two landmark structures, 

Charles Krug’s original Redwood Cellar and 1881 Carriage House, 

honoring the birthplace of Napa wine, for which they received California 

Preservation Foundation Preservation Design Awards. 

2010 and $25+ million later (with no conglomerate to foot the 

bill) no other California winery has brought so much innovation early 

on, or staged such a determined turnaround. Marc’s and Pete’s efforts 

to steward the land and preserve the winery's historical legacy are 

earning new respect for a family long identified with California wine. 

Says Marc: “These are the values our father and grandfather instilled 

in us. We are investing in the future of this family, this winery, and this 

remarkable place.”

Welcome to 

C A L I S T O G A 

Golden Haven Hot Springs Spa and Resort 

by Christin Piccin 

When wine touring has tired you out, 

take a short detour from Highway 29 

beneath the lofty peak of Mt. St. Helena, for 

a nature break at Old Faithful Geyser of 

California. 

Just outside Calistoga, the Geyser’s 

peaceful garden “theater” is ringed with tall 

grasses and feathery-leafed bamboo. In 

anticipation of the imminent eruption, I 

found a shady seat at one of the many picnic 

tables scattered about and closed my eyes. Only the songs of chirping 

birds who were secreted away in the bamboo, were evident. Suddenly, 

though, there was an ominous, throaty rumble. My eyes popped open. 

The geyser was coming to life. 

Centered in a small, grass-hemmed pond, the geyser had begun 

coughing puffs of steam which dissolved into the warm afternoon air. 

Then it started to gurgle and bubble like a witch’s cauldron. Suddenly 

it sent up a few spurts three or four feet high. 

After a few minutes of playful squirting, it 

erupted. It was as if someone had opened a 

fire hydrant straight into the sky. A column 

of 350-degree hot water spouted from the 

rocky source, backlit by the sun. As it 

peaked, the steaming water fanned out into 

miniscule droplets that fell like shimmering 

diamond dust then disappeared, leaving the 

pond as calm and serene as it was before the 

show began. 

Hot springs and steam vents are 

numerous but there are only a handful of 

geysers in the world that can be relied on to erupt predictably and 

repeatedly. Old Faithful Geyser of California is one of those. 

Geyser owner Olga Kolbek, who has logged the geyser’s activity since 

1983, noticed a surprising link between the geyser’s eruptions and 

earthquakes. While the geyser spouts off at 40-minute intervals most 

days, subsequent studies by seismologists have revealed that California’s 

Old Faithful goes off schedule when earthquakes activity is imminent. 

The geyser’s eruptions come farther apart and decrease in size, coinciding 

with earthquakes within 300 miles in the next few days. 

Kolbek delights in sharing her vast knowledge of the geyser and of 

local history, and is available by appointment for private tours. Likewise, 

a series of panels scattered through the garden area, plus a video 

room explain the mysteries of California’s Old Faithful. The geyser is 

located at 1299 Tubbs Lane off Hwy. 29 in Calistoga and is open 9 a.m. 

to 6 p.m., every day of the year. For more information, call (707) 942- 

6463 or visit www.oldfaithfulgeyser.com.

Wine Collective Adds Seven Vintner Partners 

The historic stone Yountville gallery 

known as Ma(i)sonry Napa Valley has added 

seven vintner partners to its tasting collective, 

bringing its total to 15 wineries showcased 

in and amongst the eclectic space for 

art, furnishings and wine tastings. Taken as a 

whole, Ma(i)sonry has been developed to 

inspire “a life aesthetic.” 

“Over the last year, Ma(i)sonry Napa 

Valley has been approached by over 100 

brands with an interest in becoming a 

vintner partner,” comments Paul Leary, president 

of Ma(i)sonry Napa Valley. “Ma(i)sonry 

enlists the expertise of five wine professionals 

to review the submissions together in 

periodic tastings, taking into consideration 

the varietal or blend, appellation, winemaker, 

strength of the brand and its 

resources, current distribution, price 

integrity in the market, differentiated brand 

story, and overall quality.” The seven new 

vintner partners include Juslyn Vineyards, 

L’Angevin Wines, Peirson Meyer, Rivera 

Vineyards, Skipstone, Tamber Bey and 

Uvaggio. 

Ma(i)sonry provides a stylized backdrop 

for the appreciation of limited-production, 

boutique wines. Flight tastings at Ma(i)sonry 

range from $5-$40 or guests may sample a 

variety of wines in ounce pours or by the 

bottle. Tastings can be enjoyed in any 

number of settings designed to satisfy guest 

preferences: private tasting rooms and great 

room lounges, outdoor individual and 

communal tables, seats around the fire pit or 

on blankets stretched out on the lawn of the 

Ma(i)sonry gardens. 

The 15 vintner partners currently on 

rotation at Ma(i)sonry Napa Valley include: 

Blackbird Vineyards, Brown Estate, Husic 

Vineyards, Juslyn Vineyards, Lail Vineyards, 

L’Angevin Wines, Ma(i)sonry Napa Valley,

Sutter Home’s #1 Retail Wine Promotion Celebrates 20 Years 

Twenty ten marks the 20th anniversary of Sutter 

Home Winery’s Build a Better Burger ® Contest and 

Cook-Off, the most distinguished nationwide, instore 

marketing promotion and recipe contest. In 

celebration of its success, Sutter Home is launching 

the 2010 program with a 20th anniversary cookbook, 

innovative consumer social media and a 

$100,000 prize for America’s Best Burger. 

Drawing close to 10,000 recipe entries each year, 

Sutter Home’s Build a Better Burger Contest and 

Cook-Off has become one of the longest-running 

cooking competitions in the country. 

Hitting the bookstores in March 2010 is the 

Burger Parties cook book (Ten Speed Press), written by Build a Better 

Burger Contest Head Judge James McNair and Sutter Home Executive 

Chef Jeffrey Starr. “We know how much people love burgers, so we 

wrote this cookbook to help them enjoy and experiment with big 

flavors that turn a basic burger into a gourmet feast,” said Starr, who 

has seen thousands of enticing burger recipes. “The cookbook also 

celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Build a Better Burger Contest 

and Cookoff and highlights some of the deliciously creative burgers 

we’ve (judged) over the years.” 

The book features 16 themed party ideas, complete with appetizers, 

burger main courses, side dishes, desserts, wine-based cocktails 

and wine pairings. It also includes Robert entertaining Craig tips for hosts and 

hostesses: table decorations, music suggestions and flower arrangements.

Napa Valley Fine Art

New Exhibit Runs March 20 - September 26 in Napa Valley 

Paris is one of the world’s most beautiful and iconic cities, and the

book Paris Icons. A new exhibit – opening March 20 at

to life with the stunning photographs from the Paris Icons book 

project and the work of award-winning architectural photographer 

James Scholz. The exhibit is titled “Paris Icons” and will be open to the

The Paris Icons exhibit will include more than 50 color 

photographs that celebrate the beauty of Paris with vibrant images that 

capture the city’s dazzling lights. Scholz’s fine art photographs detail 

the monuments and architecture of Paris in striking images that add 

dramatic flair and a sense of excitement to the subjects. Paris Icons is 

a museum-quality, fine art coffee table book that took the publishing 

industry by storm and won three publishing awards upon its debut in 

2009, including Most Outstanding Book of the Year, Gold Medal Most 

Outstanding Book Design 2009 (Independent Publisher Book 

Awards). 

Award-winning author Leslie J. Little and photographer James 

Scholz will be signing first edition Paris Icons books at the opening 

reception. Books Calistoga and limited edition photographs from the exhibit can

Passport to Dry Creek Valley TM – A First Class 

Journey – Celebrates its 20th Anniversary 

New Friday Event Launched: Gateway to Passport – A First Class Experience 

– Theme Parties, Music, Food, Tours, Barrel Tasting and Futures Offered 

Passport to Dry Creek Valley is an annual event, sponsored by 

the Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley (WDCV), showcasing the 

wineries, vineyards and exceptional beauty of Dry Creek Valley. This 

year, Passport to Dry Creek Valley is celebrating its 20th anniversary 

with the launch of a new event on Friday, April 23, called Gateway to 

Passport – A First Class Experience. 

The more than 60 wineries and 150 growers in the Dry Creek 

Valley produce a variety of wines to please any palate; 46 wineries will 

be offering first class weekend events along the Passport route! Join in 

Passport weekend, as wineries up and down Dry Creek Valley celebrate 

the magic of their valley with wine, food, entertainment and the 

hospitality for which Dry Creek Valley is famous. Passport to Dry 

Creek Valley sells out quickly every year. 

Gateway to Passport – A First Class Experience 

An elegant evening launched in honor of the 20th anniversary, 

Gateway to Passport includes owners and winemakers of select Dry 

Creek Valley wineries. Celebrity chef Charlie Palmer, of the famed Dry 

Creek Kitchen and upscale Hotel Healdsburg, will create culinary 

delights paired with small production Dry Creek Valley wines from 

6:30 to 9:30 p.m. on April 23. Tickets are limited and are $150. 

Theme Parties, Live Music, Sumptuous Foods – 

All Paired with Dry Creek Valley Wines 

Oysters, BBQ, sculpture gardens, bocce ball, tightrope walkers, 

barrel samples, newly released wines and old-fashioned fun. All this 

and more is part of the lively environment participating wineries create 

for their traveling guests during Passport to Dry Creek Valley. 

Nearly every winery features live entertainment, from belly dancers to 

blues, jazz or ’50s rock and roll. Guests are certain to be carried away 

by the festive atmosphere created at each winery. Saturday and Sunday 

event tickets are $120, including tax, for a two-day Passport. Sundayonly 

tickets are $70 including tax. A list of participating wineries can 

be found at www.wdcv.com. 

Vineyard Tours – Each tour begins at 9:30am 

Passport ticket holders are invited to walk the vineyards and experience 

winegrowing in this distinct appellation. Select wineries are 

opening their vineyards with special tours, discussions and tastings. 

Because the number of participants is limited, Passports are sold 

first-come, first0-served basis. This event consistently sells out and 

tickets will not be available for long. 

Tickets are on sale at www.wdcv.com. To be on the mailing list and 

receive information about this event, and all WDCV events, email 

name, address and phone number to info@wdcv.com. Everybody’s 

welcome (21 years and older).

Tasting Room of the Week: 

MAZZOCCO SONOMA 


It’s not far – perhaps five minutes – from 

the historic town of Healdsburg, one of my 

favorite wine country destinations, full of 

good-to-great restaurants and places to stay, 

interesting shops and galleries and a 

wonderful town square. But the tasting room 

at Mazzocco Sonoma is truly a country property, 

set in one of the most famous wine 

growing regions in the nation, Dry Creek 

Valley. 

In that area, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and 

Cabernet Sauvignon are the three reigning 

varietals that make this part of Northern California 

and Mazzocco Sonoma famous. 

At Mazzocco Sonoma, the grape and the 

wines made from them are the result of what 

they refer to as the geographic concept of 

“place.” That’s the distinctive characteristics 

that make a site special or unique, as well as 

the elements that foster a sense of attachment 

and belonging, and infused with a combination 

of landscape or setting. 

“Our mantra is holistic, embracing all 

aspects of the vines’ health and physiological 

development...observing this unique 

regional terroir and cultivating optimal 

conditions.” 

The Wilson family and their collection of 

diverse estate vineyards are the ones responsible 

for these wines. Ken and Diane Wilson 

have been growing grapes in the county for 

over 20 years, and today they farm some 400 

acres. They are best known for their almost 

sinfully rich, vineyard-designate Zinfandels 

and Bordeaux varietals. Each of the wines are 

robust and sumptuous, yet they are very individual. 

One thing they do have in common is 

that they are made from some of the most 

coveted fruit in Sonoma County. They are 

also respected for their innovation in grape 

growing and in the making of wine. 

Mazzocco Sonoma may be a relatively 

small artisanal winery, but their resources, 

when it comes to sourcing fruit from the vineyard, 

are exceptional. Their vineyards are 

among the most extraordinary to be found 

anywhere. They go from the rich soil of the 

valley floor up to elevations of 2,400 feet. 

That is where you find the steep, dramatic 

hillsides with views of the Pacific Ocean and 

the low-yielding vineyards that produce 

grapes with the intense flavor that is at the 

core of their winemaking philosophy. 

All vineyard work and winemaking techniques 

are done by hand and aimed at 

bringing out the unique, intrinsic character 

and true spirit of each individual varietal. The 

resulting wines stimulate the senses, warm 

the heart and evoke a feeling of well-being. 

The ultimate pleasure derived from wine is a 

complex interplay of sensorial perceptions 

involving the eye, nose, palate and heart. 

For your own sensory experience, you’ll 

need to take the pretty, pastoral drive to the 

winery. The architecture is subtly dynamic, 

the staff friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable, 

the design and overall feeling 

inviting. They will take their time as they 

lead you through the menu of the wines they 

produce (Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Cabernet 

Sauvignon, Petite Sirah and Petite Verdot) 

and are available for tasting that day. Their 

talented winemaker, Antoine Favero, is often 

there, so feel free to ask questions and pick 

up a secret or two about how premium 

grapes are transformed into such stellar 

wines. 

As you taste, you can look out the 

towering windows at the grounds. Or wander 

outside to the reflecting pool, the large patio 

or perhaps enjoy a picnic with a bottle of their 

wine and let the day slip quietly away as you 

appreciate the wine, the work and talent that 

went into its making, and the pleasure in 

your glass that was the final result. 

The tasting room of Mazzocco Winery 

is located at 1400 Lytton Springs Road in 

Healdsburg and is open from 11 a.m. to 5 

p.m. daily. For directions or more information, 

call 1-800-501-8466 or (707) 

431-8159 or go to www.mazzocco.com. 


Roses, Rosé and Chocolate 

for Breakfast on Mother’s Day at 

B.R. Cohn Winery, Mother’s Day 

Moms will be greeted with a smile, a long-stemmed rose and 

complimentary wine tasting at the B.R. Cohn Winery tasting room on 

Mother’s Day, May 9. The tasting room will be releasing the 2009 Rosé 

and author and chef, Barbara Passino will be on hand from noon to 3 

p.m. to sign her cookbook, Chocolate for Breakfast. 

The 2009 Rosé ($18) is produced in a traditional French Rhone 

style. Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre make this a seductive and 

complex wine. It has wonderful tropical aromas and a delightful touch 

of raspberry, cherry and peach flavors with hints of spice in the finish. 

Slightly chilled, this Rosé is the ultimate wine to kick off the warm 

weather season and celebrate Mom. 

Barbara Passino is the proprietor/chef of Oak Knoll Inn, a luxurious, 

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. 

B.R. Cohn Winery is located at 15000 Sonoma Highway 12 in Glen 

Ellen. The tasting room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Founded 

in 1984 by Bruce Cohn, the estate winery is known for its critically 

acclaimed, world-class, ultra-premium Cabernet Sauvignon, 

Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir and award-winning gourmet estate 

olive oils, vinegars and gourmet specialty food products. For more 

information, call 1-800-330-4064 or visit www.brcohn.com.

Ledson Winery Honors Baseball Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda 

Orlando Cepeda at Ledson Winery Signing 

Commemorative Bottles for Charity, Saturday, April 17 

Hot on the heels of Opening Day for the 2010 baseball season, 

Ledson Winery (www.ledson.com) 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 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. 

Orlando Cepeda will be at the winery from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. to 

meet fans and sign baseballs or bottles of “Baby Bull” Zinfandel. 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.

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.

Association adds consumer tech conference ticket for 2010 festival 

The Anderson Valley Winegrowers Association (AVWA) announces 

that it will host the 13th annual Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Festival 

on May 14-16 – albeit with a few changes. This popular festival, 

focusing on one single variety from just one appellation, showcases 

Anderson Valley Pinot Noirs from approximately 40 of the state’s finest 

producers. 

The Pinot Noir Festival weekend kicks off on Friday, May 14 with 

a day-long technical conference and educational seminars. This year 

the morning sessions will be focused on technical topics relevant for 

industry members, and a new, afternoon-only ticket will be offered for 

serious consumers, with in-depth tastings, food and wine pairings, 

and presentations from local and guest vintners. The full-day ticket 

will include breakfast and lunch, and the afternoon ticket will start at 

lunch and go through the end of the day. 

“We have long struggled with how to include both our fellow 

industry members and serious consumers who would like to expand 

their palates and knowledge of the variety,” said Zach Rasmussen of 

Goldeneye Winery – the 2010 conference organizer. “We decided that 

concentrating the tasting seminars, food and wine pairings, and winemaker 

talks in the afternoon would give these consumers a chance to 

be involved, but not have to attend the more technical morning 

sessions.” 

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | MENDOCINO/LAKE COUNTIES 

Anderson Valley Winegrowers’ Pinot Noir Festival 

The technical conference will be followed by a casual barbecue at 

Standish Wine Co.’s Day Ranch and will feature delicious local foods 

and fantastic wines from around the state – all set outside, among the 

property’s historic apple and pear orchard. 

Participating wineries will pour their Anderson Valley Pinot Noirs 

at the grand tasting on Saturday afternoon at Goldeneye Winery and, 

for the second year in a row, will be able to feature a current release at 

a pre-grand tasting press tasting. At the grand tasting, barbecued lamb, 

wood-fired pizzas, local cheeses, and other delicious fare will be 

offered to attendees, as well as entertainment by Mendocino County 

musicians, Kevin and the Coconuts. A silent auction will be held to 

benefit local charities (to-date more than $155,000 has been raised at 

this event). 

Participating wineries normally include: Baxter, Black Kite Cellars, 

Breggo Cellars, Brutocao, Cakebread Cellars, Chronicle Wines, 

Claudia Springs Winery, Copain Wines, Couloir Wines, Demuth 

Winery, Drew, Elke Vineyards, Esterlina Vineyards, Ferrari-Carano,

Vineyards, La Crema, Lazy Creek Vineyards, Lioco Wines, Littorai, 

Londer Vineyards, MacPhail, Navarro Vineyards, Phillips Hill Estates, 

Philo Ridge Vineyards, Raye’s Hill, Roederer Estate, Roessler Cellars, 

Saintsbury, Scharffenberger Cellars, Standish Wine Co., Toulouse 

Vineyards, Waits-Mast Family Cellars, Woodenhead and Zina Hyde 

Cunningham. 

On Saturday evening wineries from both near and far will join 

together to host winemaker dinners in Anderson Valley and on the 

Mendocino Coast. This year’s planned dinners include: Scharffenberger 

Cellars and Navarro Vineyards at the Boonville Hotel; Goldeneye 

Winery, Greenwood Ridge Vineyards and Toulouse Vineyards at 

Café Beaujolais in Mendocino; and several additional dinners to be 

announced as the event nears. 

The weekend will conclude on Sunday, May 16 with open houses 

at Anderson Valley wineries, featuring special tastings, educational 

talks, music and food (a list of winery open houses will be found at 

www.avwines.com/store, closer to the event). 

For additional information about the event, visit the AVWA website

Three New Wines to Help Fight Pediatric Cancer 

by Les Mahler 

In early summer 2010, Watts Winery will be introducing three 

new butterfly label wines. The three new releases, which are part of 

Watts Winery’s effort to fight pediatric cancer, follow the April 2009 

release of the butterfly label. 

“These labels have all been designed and 

the idea now is to expand the label,” said 

Craig Watts, owner of Watts Winery in 

Lockeford. For every bottle sold, 30 

percent of after-profit sales will go directly 

to childhood cancer research at UC Davis 

and Sutter Memorial Hospital, Sacramento. 

For Watts, the butterfly label release isn’t 

just a charity drive; it’s more of a personal 

fight. In 2008, Sheri and Craig Watt’s 

second son, Kyle, was diagnosed with 

Burkitt’s lymphoma. 

Kyle had to undergo surgery, weeks of 

chemotherapy, and later, months of testing. For now, the now 12-yearold 

boy is doing fine and he’s behaving like a normal boy, Craig Watts 

said. But oncologists at UC Davis said Kyle isn’t out of the woods just 

yet; that will take place after five years of being cancer free. 

The nightmare that Kyle and the family went through triggered the 

need to find a cure for pediatric cancer, Watts said. 

It was after Kyle finished his surgery that Craig Watts thought 

about funding pediatric cancer research. And the only way he knew 

he could take on such a formidable foe was through the family’s wine 

business. So, in April 2009, after Kyle had finished his last 

chemotherapy treatment, Watts Winery released the first two butterfly 

label wines, a California Red Blend and a Chardonnay. 

Why the butterfly? Because the butterfly is the international 

symbol for pediatric cancer, Watts said. “It symbolizes hope,” he said. 

For more information on Watts Winery and their effort to fight 

pediatric cancer, call Craig Watts at (209) 329-1569. Or, visit the 

website at WattsWinery.com.

Lodi wineries will be pouring their wines in shops and boutiques 

throughout downtown Lodi. Local proprietors will be providing hors

the venue. The Lodi region is thrilled to showcase its finest in cuisine, 

wine, activities and hospitality. 

New this year will be live chef demonstrations by local celebrity 

chefs. Among a few will be Michael Warren with Crush Kitchen & Bar, 

Julio Camberos with Califas Café & Bistro and Gary DeGrande from 

DeGrande’s Café & Restaurant. 

Vintners will also be on hand to pour a myriad of varietals and 

vintages from the Lodi Appellation. The Lodi wine region boasts 75 

wineries, 60 varietals and grows 100,000 acres of wine grapes. 

Wineries will be showcasing not only the well know varietals such as 

Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay, but also many unique 

varietals such as Verdelho, Carignan and Nebbiolo. 

“The Wine Stroll is an enjoyable event because of the combined 

ingredients to showcase Lodi – fine wines, unique shops, wonderful 

cuisine, the historic charm of downtown Lodi and great people,” says 

Pat Patrick, President and CEO of the Lodi Chamber of Commerce.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | MONTEREY/CENTRAL COAST 

Monterey Jazz Festival Hosts Top Young Jazz Musicians 

The Monterey Jazz Festival, a nonprofit leader in jazz education 

since its inception in 1958 and JazzTimes Readers’ Poll multi-year 

winner for world’s Best Jazz Festival, is proud to announce the 6th 

Annual Next Generation Festival, April 9-11, in downtown Monterey. 

The weekend event, devoted to the future of jazz, includes the Next 

Generation Festival Jazz Competition with Big Bands, Combos, Vocal 

Ensembles and individual musicians vying for a spot on the stages of 

the 53rd Annual Monterey Jazz Festival presented by Verizon. 

A three-year grant from the Surdna Foundation supports the Next 

Generation Festival and the Next Generation Jazz Orchestra’s international 

tours. The Surdna Foundation’s Arts Program is national in 

scope and supports the artistic advancement of teens, ages 12-18. 

Attracting musicians from some of the most prestigious educational 

programs in the United States, over 2000 students will participate 

in this year’s Next Generation Festival, representing the largest 

gathering of young jazz talent on the Monterey Peninsula outside of 

the Monterey Jazz Festival itself. 

In 2010, sixty-three groups from thirteen states, (including 

Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Montana, 

Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Texas and the state of Washington) will 

participate in the Next Generation Festival, the largest selection of 

groups from the widest variety of states to come to Monterey in the 

forty-year history of the event – more than double the amount of 

represented states from 2009. 

All Next Generation Festival competition events – from the Kick- 

Off Concert on Friday, April 9 (featuring internationally renowned 

jazz artists who act as judges of the Next Generation Festival) – to the 

exuberant and electric Big Band, Vocal Ensemble and Combo 

Competition on Saturday, April 10 and the College Big Band Vocal 

Jazz Ensemble competition on Sunday, April 11, will be open to the 

public, free of charge. 

The Festival will also conduct clinics, workshops, jam sessions, 

and auditions in the heart of the historic Monterey, with music to be 

performed at the Monterey Conference Center, the host Portola Plaza 

Hotel, at Fisherman’s Wharf and Cannery Row. 

For a complete schedule of activities and competition times, visit 

www.montereyjazzfestival.org. 

The Next Generation Festival will officially start with the annual 

Kick-Off Concert at 8 p.m. on Friday, April 9 at the Monterey Conference 

Center. The opening night’s activities will feature the festival’s 

annual Salute to Jazz Education with performances by the internationally-renowned 

competition judges, including pianist Alan 

Pasqua, drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, saxophonists Billy Harper, 

Paul Contos, Mary Fettig and Aaron Lington; trumpeter Ambrose 

Akinmusire; bassist Ray Drummond and vocalists Matt Falker, 

Jennifer Barnes and Michele Weir. Entry to the Salute to Jazz Education 

and Kick-Off Concert is open to the public, free of charge. Also 

featured during the evening concert will be the Monterey Jazz 

Festival Artist-In-Residence, 4-time Grammy winning vocalist, 

Dianne Reeves. 

MJF’s Next Generation Festival Jazz Competition starts at 9 a.m. 

on Saturday, April 10 in downtown Monterey’s Conference Center, 


with high-energy big bands, combos and vocal ensembles creating an 

atmosphere of anticipation and excitement. 

Throughout the day, participants in the High School Big Band, 

Vocal and Combo divisions will put on their best performances 

before the judges, who will determine the top groups and 

outstanding soloists. The top groups of the day in the High School 

Vocal, Combo and Big Band divisions will be announced at 6:15 p.m. 

Saturday evening from the Conference Center’s Serra Ballroom stage. 

At 8 p.m. Saturday night, the top vocal ensembles, combo and Big 

Band finalists will take the stage in the Next Generation Festival’s 

Showcase Concert – a preview of the groups performing at MJF/53. 

The Next Generation Festival will also host a variety of educational 

clinics on Saturday, April 9, including presentations by MJF 

Artist-In-Residence, Dianne Reeves. 

The Next Generation Festival continues through Sunday, April 

11, with the country’s top middle school, college, conglomerate big 

bands and combos, and college vocal ensembles performing in the 

Conference Center’s Serra Ballroom and Steinbeck Forum. The top 

college big band, college vocal ensemble and conglomerate big band 

(to be announced during the day) will also earn a performance slot at 

MJF/52. New for 2010 will be the Open Combo Division, another 

expansion of performance opportunities at the Next Generation 

Festival. 

Auditions will also be held throughout the Next Generation 

Festival weekend for the Jimmy Lyons Scholarship to Berklee College 

of Music, and for the Next Generation Jazz Orchestra, MJF’s national 

all-star high school band. 

The Next Generation Festival is continuing two new partnership 

elements introduced last year: an Instrument Showcase and College 

Fair. The Instrument Showcase will allow musicians an opportunity 

to play various instruments from participating partners. The College 

Fair will allow students an opportunity to visit with several colleges 

offering jazz and other music programs. Both activities will be offered 

throughout the Next Generation Festival weekend. 

More information on all Next Generation Festival activities and 

events is available on the MJF website, www.montereyjazzfestival.org 

and by phone at (831) 373-3366.

MONTEREY/CENTRAL COAST | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK 

Experience the Beauty of the Mountain Pinot Noir 

Pinot Paradise – March 27 and 28 

By Laura Ness 

Here in the Summit Area of the Santa Cruz Mountains, we live on 

top of the world in the middle of “Pinot Paradise” The conditions are 

perfect for both Pinot and Chardonnay. We are so lucky, but we don’t 

have any intention of keeping these great wines to ourselves. 

The 7th annual Pinot Paradise, a celebration of Santa Cruz Mountains 

Pinot Noir, is a chance to share our bounty with fellow Pinot 

lovers. Pinot Paradise will be held at the end of March. Saturday, 

March 27 is your chance to visit the local wineries taking part in Pinot 

Pathways. For $25, you can barrel sample or enjoy library selections, 

depending on what the wineries have to offer. 

On Sunday, March 28, the day kicks off at 9 a.m. at Villa Ragusa in 

Campbell with a seminar called “Yeast Gone Wild in the Santa Cruz 

Mountains,” an in-depth look at the use of native or “wild” yeast in 

fermentation. A panel of winemakers will share their views on this 

somewhat controversial subject, and you’ll get to taste the results of 

various yeast regimens chosen by local winemakers to deliver their 

vision of Pinot Noir. Those who advocate “native” fermentation 

choose to let the yeast that comes in on the grapes to begin the sugarto-alcohol 

conversion process, believing that this yeast adds an unparalleled 

complexity to the texture and aromas of the final wine. Others 

eschew this process, choosing to inoculate the must with chosen 

strains of commercial yeast, which they feel deliver more predictable 

results, as they are known entities. Some winemakers are adamant 

about not using native yeast: they don’t want to risk a “stuck” fermentation 

or some “off” character that may be introduced: their counterparts 

insist that the most complex and Burgundian Pinots are the 

result of those native yeasts that come in on the grapes at harvest. 

Come taste for yourself! And love the youth, regardless. 

The technical session (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) is followed by a VIP tasting

from 1 to 5 p.m., and the Grand Cruz tasting goes from 2 to 5 p.m. 

Purchase tickets at the Summit Wineries (Burrell School. Hunter Hill, 

Loma Prieta and Vine Hill) or go online: scmwa.com. 

At Loma Prieta, visitors to the winery will sample the pre-release 

2008 Estate Pinot during Pinot Paradise weekend. This wine has 

already taken Silver medals in every competition so far this year. All 

month long, the multi-award winning 2007 SaveriaVineyard Pinot will 

be on sale for $40 (reg $50). Both the 2007 and 2008 Saveria Pinot 

Noir will be showcased at Pinot Paradise on March 28. 

At Burrell School, March is all about Pinot. The 2005 Estate tastes 

better with each passing month, and you’ll also get a taste of the library 

for Pinot Pathways, Saturday, March 27, along with 10% off all Pinots 

that day. 

Hunter Hill Winery will feature their new 2008 Estate Pinot Noir 

at the winery and at Pinot 

Paradise. This wine is in very 

limited supply, so jump on it while 

you can. Enjoy the beautiful colors 

of their vineyard hillsides covered 

in spring flowers. Take 10% off the 

2008 Pinot for Pathways, and sip a 

barrel sample of the 2009. 

Vine Hill Winery will throw their doors open for Pinot Pathways, 

Saturday, March 27, and will also pour at Pinot Paradise on the 28th 

at Villa Ragusa. They will feature 10% off their Pinot lineup for Pinot 

Pathways. Come taste some of winemaker Sal Godinez’s bold and 

beautiful Pinots, in bottle and maybe even a barrel sample. Experience 

this lovely setting, and enjoy a glass of Pinot in the organic flower 

gardens as you take in a stunning view of Monterey Bay. Vine Hill is 

now open the third weekend of each month. 

Magnums from each winery will be featured as part of the auction, 

and there is also a very unique opportunity to bid on a double 

magnum and 5 liter bottle representing all the wines poured at the 

event – a pan-appellation Pinot! Very rare, indeed. Don’t miss it!
