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 />
by Len Napolitano<br />
What information on a wine label is most important?<br />
When shopping for wine, beyond looking for the name of a<br />
reliable producer, it helps to gather other information from the<br />
label to better understand what you are buying. Some basic items<br />
to examine: the appellation (a geographic name); a vineyard<br />
designation; the term “Estate-Bottled” and the term “Reserve.” A<br />
wine’s vintage should not play a large role in your decision unless<br />
you know of a specific year that you want.<br />
The appellation designation, also known as the American<br />
Viticultural Area designation, or AVA, will identify where the<br />
grapes were grown. The broadest and most general designation is a<br />
state name, like “California” or “Oregon.” A broad geographic area<br />
designation usually indicates a wine without the unique<br />
characteristics that a more narrow geographic designation, such as<br />
Edna Valley, Napa Valley or Santa Ynez Valley, would possess. The<br />
reason is because broad AVA designations allows the winemaker to<br />
blend grapes from anywhere in the entire region. When I compare<br />
labels of similar-type wines that I have never tasted and am<br />
unfamiliar with, I almost always select the one with the smaller<br />
AVA in order to get an impression of the more specific geography.<br />
A wine label that includes the name of a vineyard, in addition to<br />
the AVA, is getting even more specific with geography. A single<br />
vineyard may have its own unique soil or climate and produce a<br />
wine that is different enough to demand a separate and distinct<br />
identification on the label.<br />
Of less importance, the term “Estate-Bottled” means the grapes<br />
were grown on either the producer's estate property or in<br />
vineyards that are within his appellation and with whom he has<br />
long-term contracts. In other words, production remained under<br />
the control of one company from start to finish.<br />
Finally, the term “Reserve” will sometimes be used to identify a<br />
wine that the producer believes to be among its best. “Reserve”<br />
could mean that the grapes were hand harvested, or selected from<br />
hillside vines only, or the wine was given more time in barrel for<br />
aging. For these reasons, “Reserve” wines will usually be priced<br />
higher than the producer’s non-reserve wines.<br />
And, don’t forget to check the alcohol content. The trend is to<br />
make full-bodied, bolder wine these days and a higher alcohol<br />
level usually goes along with that. Twenty years ago, the average<br />
alcohol content in wine was around 12%. Today, it is probably<br />
more like 13% to 14%.<br />

CHALK HILL VINEYARDS & WINERY<br />
Perhaps no other winery captures the casual luxury of Sonoma County better than Chalk<br />
Hill Estate. Founded nearly four decades ago, this spectacular property features 1,300 acres<br />
of wilderness areas interspersed with 300 acres of vineyards, a winery, a hospitality center,<br />
culinary gardens, residences, stables, an equestrian pavilion, sports fields, fishing and<br />
swimming ponds, and guest houses.<br />
The highest points of the estate offers visitors stunning views of the Russian River Valley<br />
to the west and the Mayacamas Mountains to the east. <strong>This</strong> is one of the most awe-inspiring<br />
vistas in wine country.<br />
From a winemaker’s perspective, the Chalk Hill Estate is considered a warm pocket in a<br />
cool maritime region. The property features 13 soil types ranging from ancient alluvial<br />
deposits to young volcanic soils strewn with rocks and boulders. A distinctive layer of<br />
volcanic ash lies under much of the topsoil, inspiring the name “Chalk Hill.” The complex<br />
soils and climate allow Chalk Hill Estate to produce great wines from a wide range of grape<br />
varieties.<br />
The winery’s vineyards are woven through the native foliage, contoured to fit the intricate<br />
terrain. The vines are farmed using low-input, sustainable viticultural practices to preserve<br />
the long-term viability of the ecosystem. More than two-thirds of the Chalk Hill Estate<br />
remains uncultivated.<br />
In addition to the great scenery, Chalk Hill offers a number of special tours and tastings<br />
including the Estate Culinary Tour.<br />
The Culinary Tour begins at the winery where guests gather and then enjoy a brief<br />
excursions through the vineyards. You will arrive at the new organic culinary garden for a<br />
tour led by estate gardener, Brad Agerter. In addition to learning about the advantages and<br />
benefits of organic farming, guests can visit the new raised garden beds recently cultivated<br />
below the Pavilion. The fruit and vegetables from these organically-farmed gardens are the<br />
inspiration for dishes prepared by Chalk Hill’s Executive Chef, Didier Ageorges. The tour<br />
finishes with a sit-down tasting in the Pavilion – a conservatory overlooking the equestrian<br />

center with panoramic views of<br />
the Chalk Hill valley. There, you<br />
will enjoy a sit-down tasting of<br />
Chalk Hill wines paired with<br />
several small plates prepared by<br />
Chef Didier.<br />
The Estate Tour explores the<br />
history, viticulture and<br />
winemaking practices at the<br />
property. Guests learn about the<br />
special conditions that make<br />
Chalk Hill’s wines so distinctive.<br />
The tour includes a tasting of<br />
current releases.<br />
For equestrians, there are the<br />
Estate Vineyard Trail Rides. <strong>This</strong><br />
90-minute tour around Chalk<br />
Hill’s 1,300 acres is led by<br />
respected polo professional,<br />
Rafael Hernandez.<br />
Finally, there are <strong>Wine</strong>ry<br />
Tastings at Chalk Hill’s beautiful<br />
hospitality center overlooking<br />
the natural amphitheater of<br />
vines. Guests are invited to taste<br />
current releases and library<br />
bottlings of Chardonnay,<br />
Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet<br />
Sauvignon, Syrah and Estate Red.<br />

JUDD’S HILL<br />
WINERY & MICROCRUSH<br />
Open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. by advance appointment<br />
2332 Silverado Trail, Napa, CA 94558<br />
(707) 255-2332 | www.juddshill.com<br />
JUDD’S HILL WINERY & MICROCRUSH<br />
It would be easy to zoom by the small sign and picturesque bridge that mark the<br />
entrance to one of Napa’s friendliest and most highly regarded boutique wineries. But,<br />
those in the know, slow down as they round the curve past the strawberry stand at the<br />
south end of the Silverado Trail, and hang a right over the tree-lined bridge crossing<br />
Milliken Creek to cruise up the gravelly road. Judd’s Hill <strong>Wine</strong>ry and MicroCrush<br />
should be on the top of your list of places to taste if you are looking for great wines and<br />
an informal familial setting. Owned and run by two generations of the Finkelstein<br />
family, Judd’s Hill remains one of the few places in Napa where you are likely to have<br />
personal interaction with the owners when you visit for a tasting.<br />
The Finkelstein family of Judd’s Hill has been making wine in the Napa Valley since<br />
the 1970s, when they founded their first winery, Whitehall Lane. After the sale of<br />
Whitehall Lane, Judd’s Hill <strong>Wine</strong>ry was founded in 1989 with the vision of making<br />
small-lot handcrafted wines that are balanced and food-friendly. “Having a good time<br />
making great wine with family” was and continues to be the winery’s motto.<br />
A wide variety of wines are poured in their tasting room, which is open daily from<br />
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Currently, they are featuring their Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, Estate Pinot<br />
Noir, Old Vine Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon. From time to time, “bonus bottles”<br />
from the library or pre-release wines will be added into the flight to give their guests a<br />
special treat. Visitors with a desire to take their wine country experience to a more<br />
interactive and hands-on level should make an appointment to take part in their “Bottle<br />
Blending Day Camp.” BBDC participants work with a Judd’s Hill Blending Guide to craft<br />
their perfect Bordeaux-style wine from four different barrel samples of Cabernet<br />
Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Once your favorite cuveé has been decided<br />
upon, you’ll be led into the cellar where you’ll assist in hand-bottling, labeling and the<br />
application of foil capsules to the bottlenecks. You then get to take your personallycrafted<br />
wine with you the same day. The whole process takes about two hours and it’s a<br />
fun and edifying experience for singles, couples and groups of all sizes.<br />
If a few bottles of your own wine isn’t enough to quench your thirst, Judd’s Hill also<br />
has a MicroCrush service in which clients can make a barrel or more of their own wine.<br />
You can craft your own blend of a selection of barrels in the Judd’s Hill cellar or make<br />
wine with grapes from Judd’s Hill grower-partners or from your own vineyard.<br />
From a quick tasting to a multi-year wine making project, Judd’s Hill is the perfect<br />
option for anyone with the desire to “have a good time making (or tasting) great wine<br />
with family!”<br />

B.R. Cohn <strong>Wine</strong> and Cheese Trail Pairing<br />
BY MIKE HYLAND<br />
When you think about wine, you naturally think about cheese. It’s like peanut butter<br />
and jelly or maybe even Laurel and Hardy, you don’t usually think about one without<br />
the other. When something goes together perfectly, it’s hard to tear them apart. The<br />
folks at B.R. Cohn have created the ultimate <strong>Wine</strong> & Cheese Trail Pairing that takes<br />
place at the winery every Friday through Monday at 1 p.m., and not just for the<br />
summer months, but all year long.<br />
“We select the finest cheeses from Sonoma, Marin and Napa counties,” said wine<br />
educator Chris Schuur who directs the program for the winery and is easily considered<br />
the main cheese head. “We use nothing but local cheeses and seek out the smallproduction<br />
artisans creating the most flavorful products to pair with our wines. Our<br />
Cheese Trail program gives our guests a sense of the agricultural aspects of our area.”<br />
The wine and cheese tasting takes place in the original milking barn on the B.R.<br />
Cohn property, where owner Bruce Cohn grew up. The cheese selections as well as the<br />
wine selections change often with each pairing consisting of four wines and four<br />
cheeses. The Cheese Trail tasting fee is $20 for wine club members and $25 for the<br />
general public. You can call 1-800-330-4064 extension 124 to make a reservation<br />
during your next visit to wine country.<br />
“We have traveled the countryside seeking out excellent cheeses that will pair well<br />
with our wines,” said Schuur, “Some of our vendors include Vella Cheese from<br />
downtown Sonoma and Point Reyes from Marin County. The program is a natural<br />
extension of our gourmet shop that includes a variety of olive oils, vinegars, mustards<br />
and the like.”<br />
There are some 12 different varieties of award-winning olive oils, 12 different<br />
vinegars, plus herb, seafood and steak rubs, three different mustards as well as three<br />
olive tapenades. Additionally, the gourmet shop also features dessert sauces including a<br />
Chardonnay caramel sauce and a chocolate Cabernet wine sauce as well as chocolate<br />
raspberry Cabernet fudge. There is a little something for everyone in the gourmet shop.<br />
And, let’s not forget the wines. The list of award-winning vintages includes three<br />
Estate wines, 2009 Zinfandel Olive Hill Estate, 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Olive Hill<br />
Estate and 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Edition. Also on the tasting list are the<br />
2009 Pinot Noir Russian River, 2009 Zinfandel Sonoma Valley, 2009 Primitivo Sonoma<br />
Valley, 2009 Barbera Mendocino County, SyrCab Sonoma Valley blend, 2009 Cabernet<br />
Franc Sonoma Valley, SyrZin Sonoma Valley blend, Merlot Sonoma Valley, 2009 Malbec<br />
Sonoma Valley, 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, 2008 North Coast Petite Sirah<br />
and 2008 Sonoma Valley Syrah.<br />
The white wine tastings include the 2011 San Luis Obispo County Rosé, 2011<br />
Sonoma Valley Pinot Gris and the 2010 Carneros Chardonnay. Additionally there are<br />
two dessert wines, the 2008 Cabernet Port Olive Hill Estate and the 2008 Late Harvest<br />
Semillon, plus a host of library selections, large format bottles and numerous verticals<br />
from which to choose.<br />
“We are in the epicenter of a cheese renaissance,” Schuur continues, “yet why spend<br />
all day driving from dairy to dairy on the Cheese Trail? Come to B.R. Cohn winery and<br />
relax while we showcase revolving selections of the most exquisite cheeses from the<br />
Sonoma-Marin Cheese Trail, seasonally appropriate, paired with elegant and awardwinning<br />
wines in our Glen Ellen Hamlet . When you are traveling in the Sonoma Valley<br />
and you are looking for ultra premium wines, extra virgin olive oils, handcrafted<br />
vinegars and gourmet food products, pull in to B.R. Cohn and enjoy your visit on a<br />
historic property filled with grape vines and olive trees. And, if you happen to arrive<br />
over a weekend, check out the <strong>Wine</strong> & Cheese Trail Pairing. Taste some of the best<br />
wines and best cheeses in all of wine country.<br />

ST. FRANCIS WINERY & VINEYARDS<br />
Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.<br />
100 Pythian Road at Highway 12, Santa Rosa<br />
1-888-675-WINE | www.stfranciswinery.com<br />
For nearly 35 years, St. Francis <strong>Wine</strong>ry in Sonoma Valley has produced fruit<br />
forward, full-bodied wines from superior mountain and valley vineyards in Sonoma<br />
County’s top appellations, earning scores of impressive accolades along the way.<br />
While wine has always been the star at St. Francis, food plays a magnificent<br />
supporting role.<br />
Executive Chef David Bush heads up the winery’s onsite kitchen, crafting<br />
unforgettable culinary experiences designed to reflect the beauty, charm and<br />
agricultural heritage of Sonoma Valley. The winery’s multicourse wine and food<br />
pairing is unsurpassed in wine country, offering what one popular food writer<br />
described as “small plates that rival the kitchen of any Michelin-starred restaurant.”<br />
Chef Bush, whose résumé includes Sonoma’s the girl & the fig restaurant,<br />
masterfully pairs his creative dishes with St. Francis’ award-winning wines. The<br />
menu changes seasonally but offers an array of gourmet delicacies.<br />
Mouthwatering selections include items like slow roasted spice-rubbed shoulder<br />
of local lamb tasted alongside the St. Francis 2007 Sonoma Valley Anthem Meritage<br />
blend. Chef’s Banh Mi sandwich with grilled sirloin and housemade duck rillette<br />
bring out the luscious fruit and spice in the St. Francis 2009 “Old Vines” Zinfandel,<br />
a wine rated 91 points by <strong>Wine</strong> & Spirits. A recent dessert course paired the winery’s<br />
2009 Port, a Double Gold Medal winner at the San Francisco Chronicle <strong>Wine</strong><br />
Competition, with decadent chocolate fondue.<br />

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK<br />
“My philosophy about wine and food pairing is that there are<br />
no rules,” Chef Bush says. “I like to take risks. My ultimate goal is<br />
to surprise people and for them to leave with a different view of<br />
how wine and food work together.”<br />
St. Francis’ dining room, with its tiled fireplace and spectacular<br />
vineyard views, is the ideal setting for Chef Bush’s break-the-rules<br />
pairings. Guests sit together at a custom-designed round table,<br />
guided through each course by an expert host who highlights key<br />
components and shares some of the winery’s history. The<br />
experience is relaxed, friendly and educational, showcasing the<br />
best Sonoma County has to offer.<br />

farming practices to produce a bounty of seasonal vegetables,<br />
berries and fruits for Chef’s kitchen.<br />
“The garden gives me an opportunity to create wine and food<br />
pairings using the freshest seasonal ingredients grown right<br />
outside our kitchen door,” Bush says. “I have everything I could<br />
possibly want, from lettuces, greens and beets to multiple<br />
varieties of heirloom tomatoes, apples and pears.”<br />
Seated pairings are held Friday-Sunday at 11 a.m., 1 and<br />
3 p.m. There are two seatings on Mondays and Thursdays at<br />
11 a.m. and 2 p.m. The cost is $38 per person. Reservations are<br />

offers the option of relaxing on the outside patio with a glass of<br />
wine or a flight of wines paired with a selection of charcuterie,<br />
featuring local cheeses, housemade patés and rillettes.<br />

Robert Mondavi <strong>Wine</strong>ry Summer Concert Series<br />
Napa Valley <strong>Wine</strong>ry hosts five artists in festival’s 43rd year<br />
In the spirit of Robert Mondavi’s belief that wine, food and the<br />
arts are an essential part of American life, the 2012 Robert Mondavi<br />
<strong>Wine</strong>ry Summer Concert Series began with O.A.R. taking the stage at<br />
the winery on June 30. Multi-platinum singer, songwriter and actor<br />
Josh Groban will perform the final concert on July 21st benefitting<br />
the The Napa Valley School’s Music and Art Programs and his own<br />
Find Your Light Foundation. Margrit Mondavi founded this annual<br />
concert series in 1969, quickly becoming an anticipated wine country<br />
tradition.<br />
Throughout the festival’s 43-year history, more than $2 million in<br />
proceeds has been raised for the Napa Valley Symphony, Napa Valley<br />
Opera House and the Napa Valley Unified School District. Proceeds<br />
from ticket sales of this year’s series will directly benefit the Napa<br />
Valley Unified School District.<br />
Perhaps best known for their hit “Superman,” Five for Fighting<br />
will bring their smooth vocals to the winery on July 14 for the “Hope<br />
in the Vineyard” concert. City of Hope is a national cancer research<br />
and treatment center, providing patients with specialized care.<br />
The summer concert series concludes July 21 with the “Spotlight<br />
on To Kalon” performance by Josh Groban. “Robert Mondavi <strong>Wine</strong>ry<br />
is the perfect place to experience the musical genius of Josh Groban.<br />
You can be a part of a world-class musical performance, watch the<br />
moon rise over the vineyard, and enjoy wonderful wines,” says Carl<br />
Jaeger, Estate Director at Robert Mondavi <strong>Wine</strong>ry. “Making music and<br />
making wine are both artistic expressions and this performance<br />
marks the beginning of a collaboration between Josh and the<br />
winery.”<br />
“With the goal of sharing our love for the arts with the local<br />
community, we couldn’t imagine a better collection of artists to<br />
perform at this year’s festival,” says Carl Jaeger, Estate Director at<br />
Robert Mondavi <strong>Wine</strong>ry. “The diversity of acts coupled with the<br />
unique charities that will benefit<br />
from the concerts combines to<br />
bring evenings of world-class<br />
wine and entertainment, right<br />
here in our backyard.”<br />
The Robert Mondavi <strong>Wine</strong>ry<br />
Festival started as a small venture<br />
in the arts, with tickets costing<br />
only $3 and drawing a modest<br />
crowd of 400 attendees. Since its<br />
inception, the festival has hosted<br />
more than 100 performers and<br />
now draws thousands every year.<br />
From the first performance by the<br />
Napa Valley Symphony, a guitar<br />
soloist, and the Xoregos Dance<br />
Company, the festival has grown<br />
32<br />
to showcase world-renowned jazz, R&B and pop artists.<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. Ticket<br />
prices vary by performance. For additional information and to<br />
purchase tickets, including General Admission, Reserved and Dinner<br />
seats, visit www.robertmondaviwinery.com, ticketweb.com or call<br />

STERLING VINEYARDS<br />
Take a Sky Tram to Good Times!<br />
BY JOSH STEIN<br />
Few wineries anywhere directly control more than 1,200 acres of estate<br />
vineyards, and fewer still can lay claim to acreage from across the<br />
complete range of Napa Valley sub-appellations: mountainsides, various<br />
spots on the Valley floor, Carneros and Calistoga. And only one can lay<br />
claim to a “green” sky tram which takes you 300 feet above the Valley,<br />
giving unique views and striking architecture with which to enjoy the<br />
wines: Sterling Vineyards. They’re proof that great things in the wine<br />
business truly do get better as they age!<br />
A legacy of five decades of stewardship continues today as the winery<br />
was one of the first twelve to be certified as a Napa County Green<br />
<strong>Wine</strong>ry by the Napa Valley Vintners; Sterling has also received Napa<br />
Valley Green Land certification for its sustainable management, water<br />
conservation and fish-friendly farming across all of its estate vineyards.<br />
Even the tram is solar-powered! <strong>This</strong> commitment to doing things the<br />
right way naturally extends to the winemaking after the grapes are<br />
grown. Whites are harvested at night, going directly to press as whole<br />

Continued<br />
clusters to preserve quality. Reds are brought to<br />
the crush pad in small boxes and are hand-sorted<br />
before being destemmed and innoculated with<br />
native yeasts. Reserve wines are given even more<br />
special treatment in the micro-winery-withinthe-winery<br />
built in 2008. <strong>This</strong> 10,000-case<br />
facility across from the caves allows for wholeberry<br />
fermentations, barrel spinning for<br />
micro-fermentations and multiple small lots for<br />
best-of-the-best bottlings.<br />
That commitment to ensuring a legacy of<br />
quality is present in every release, and given the<br />
variety of vineyards and locations under its direct<br />
control – a true rare luxury for the winemakers<br />
in today’s modern global marketplace – it’s not a<br />
surprise to find wines to appeal to all tastes and<br />
lifestyles. Indeed, there are the Napa Valley wines<br />
for which the winery is well known; the Single-<br />
Vineyard releases, which highlight the unique<br />
combination of variety and place within various<br />
parts of the Valley; the Cellar Club wines, small<br />
bottlings of club-only exclusives; the Vintner’s<br />
Collection, which shows off other Sterling<br />
Vineyards in California; and the Reserve wines,<br />
individual, special and rarely bottled. All are<br />
available to taste at the winery, and many can<br />
only be found there altogether.<br />
Beyond the tram and the wines, there is<br />
plenty more to enjoy while on the property. The<br />
layout of the Greek island Mykonos-inspired<br />
white stucco walls allows for wandering amidst<br />
famous artworks and prints, architectural details<br />
and, every once in a while, a random turn reveals<br />
breath-taking views of the Valley’s narrowing<br />
northern quadrant, with the Mayacamas and<br />
Vacas in extreme proximity on both sides. Every<br />
quarter-hour, eight bells recovered from London’s<br />
bombed out Church of St.Dunstans-in-the-East<br />
accompany your movement around the winery’s<br />
facilities. Self-paced by design by utilizing<br />
motion-activated flatscreens, the general<br />
admission tasting and tour covers the tram ride,<br />
the tour, tasting of five wines and a souvenir<br />
wine glass. For those wanting exclusive wines,<br />
there are also the Reserve, Sterling Silver VIP and<br />
Sterling Gold VIP options, which will taste you<br />
through reserve wines, single-vineyard, limitedrelease<br />
and premier bottlings available nowhere<br />
else. The goal is for visitors to be comfortable<br />
and able to enjoy everything the winery<br />
produces.<br />
Half a century ago, Sterling Vineyards was<br />
founded with the ideal of growing grapes in the<br />
best locations the Napa Valley had to offer and<br />
then producing the best possible wines to<br />
showcase those vineyards in an awe-inspiring<br />
setting. Lots of folks have come and gone in that<br />
time, and the winery is still here, doing what it<br />
does best: making wines that speak strongly of<br />
their sources. Come find out for yourself what<br />
more than a quarter million others annually do –<br />
there’re great wines still to be had after all these<br />
years up in Calistoga at Sterling Vineyards. Go<br />
and enjoy – you won’t be sorry!<br />

JACK STORMS<br />
Master of Cold Glass Sculpture<br />
Meet the Artist at RASgalleries<br />
BY RONDA SCHAER<br />
<strong>As</strong> the owner of RASgalleries, I’ve had the opportunity to meet hundreds<br />
of talented American glass artists over the past twenty-two years. I’m<br />
fascinated by the work of Jack Storms, one of only three cold glass sculptors<br />
in the world. It’s a pleasure to announce that RASgalleries will host Jack<br />
Storms: Master of Cold Glass Sculpture beginning July 13 and continuing<br />
through August 31. In this show, we’ll present Bella Vino, exclusive winethemed<br />
sculptures as well as pieces from his “Cube & Ariel Series.” The show<br />
begins Friday, July 13, with an artist reception from 6 to 8 p.m., and there’s a<br />
second chance to meet Jack Storms on Saturday, July 14 from 2 to 4 p.m.<br />
I recently had the chance to chat with him about his life and work and his<br />
plans for the RASgalleries show.<br />
RASgalleries: Your sculptures radiate and mesmerize. Our clients can’t take their eyes<br />
off them! The spectrum of color makes everyone want to touch the surface of the<br />
crystal. Talk about the first time you touched glass. What drew you to this medium?<br />
Jack Storms: That was a seminal moment for me and it was just that quick.<br />
Sculpting glass is a slow, tedious process but that first day when I stood at the<br />
grinding wheel manipulating the glass and saw what I could do, I was<br />
immediately hooked by both the process and the form. That first day, with the<br />
simple and tedious task of grinding a piece of glass flat and then smooth and<br />
then to a polish, I knew what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. It was<br />
magic to me to transform a piece of glass that looked like a chunk of concrete<br />
into a treasure that shone like a diamond.<br />
RASgalleries: You opened your studio in 2004 and you’re one of very few optic crystal<br />
sculptors in the world. You’ve said that it can take ten weeks or more to complete a<br />
piece. I understand the process is demanding, requiring painstaking construction of a<br />
core of dichroic film on glass. Each piece is cut, polished and laminated, layer after<br />
layer to achieve the geometric rainbows. Your studio must be an interesting place,<br />
describe it and the preparations you must make prior to beginning a new piece, and<br />
explain the steps you take to ensure success. What can go wrong?<br />
Jack Storms: It can all go wrong. That’s one of the main reasons the process<br />
takes the time that it does. There’s a lot of room for error and it’s a constant<br />
struggle to maintain a polished surface that’s vital for the interior construction<br />
of the work and the finish. The studio looks like a dungeon since most of the<br />
tooling is wet and I use diamond tools and grit (basically the texture of beach<br />
sand). It’s a constant struggle to not cross contaminate. The process is slow<br />
enough without making a mistake like mixing up a polishing compound with<br />
grit. I bond the glass in a clean room that must be dust free. Again, I have to<br />
be constantly aware of contamination since no one wants my eyelashes in<br />
their artwork.<br />
RASgalleries: You draw inspiration from both your heart and science, using the<br />
theory of Fibonacci in each lead crystal sculpture. Fibonacci, as a great<br />
mathematician, articulated that math is natural in nature. Fibonacci numbers are<br />
38 Follow us on Twitter @<strong>Wine</strong><strong>Country</strong>TW
found in the patterns of growth in every living thing. Can you explain how this is interpreted in your<br />
work?<br />
Jack Storms: Utilizing the Fibonacci theory, my work has the ability to be visually spectacular<br />
at one angle and then show the simplicity of form, pattern and structure at another. The<br />
principle is also responsible for being a bridge from a very technical medium to a more<br />
natural reception, giving the sense that the work is created and not manufactured.<br />
RASgalleries: Talk about the beverage-themed sculptures that you will feature for Bella Vino, the<br />
RASGalleries show in July. What excites you about this new series? How are these forms different for<br />
you?<br />
Jack Storms: The wine-themed work is what I call my Bella work. These works are very dear to<br />
me because they come from a concept that I was told multiple times would never work. I<br />
was convinced I could shape glass on a lathe so I designed then created a lathe that would<br />
prove the doubters wrong. The first works from this lathe were wine-themed. It seemed very<br />
natural to me. There are so many exciting forms that I can explore with the lathe and the<br />
shapes and colors in the finished pieces that will be at the<br />
show – bottles, wine glasses, Champagne flutes –<br />
emphasize the energy between the love of wine and art.<br />
Each of the ten new pieces refracts light, reflects and casts<br />
colored shadow.<br />
RASgalleries: There are two new rainbows in your life: your wife,<br />
Vivian, and your son, Owen. Give our readers a slice of your life<br />
outside the studio. What do you love to do with your family?<br />
Jack Storms: Before I met my wife and created our family,<br />
I thought my true love was my work. I used to live to<br />
sculpt not sculpt to live. I was made to be a dad and<br />
husband and I’m lucky enough to support them doing<br />
something I thoroughly enjoy. That realization has made<br />
me a better sculptor. I take my love for them and their<br />
love for me and channel it into the work. That energy<br />
makes the creative process flow from me without<br />
resistance. When the day is done, I race home to wrestle<br />
with my two-year-old and coach him on the ABCs, and<br />
be a husband to my wife. It recharges me for the next day<br />
of sculpting in the studio.<br />
RASgalleries: What would you like people to take away,<br />
emotionally, from this show?<br />
Jack Storms: I hope that they find my work brings a sense of<br />
fascination and wonder that is enduring for them through<br />
the years.<br />
Jack Storms is a driving force in the world of cold glass<br />
sculpture. Collected internationally, his work has also<br />
been commissioned for award ceremonies, as<br />
commemorative pieces, and even as a gift honoring the<br />
President of Nigeria. At RASgalleries, we are pleased to<br />
represent this accomplished artist year-round. We invite<br />
you to Jack Storms: Master of Cold Glass introducing<br />
Bella Vino, a highly anticipated show of sculpture by Jack<br />
Storms, opening on July 13 with new works continuing to<br />
arrive through August 31, 2012. Attend the artist<br />
reception July 13 from 6 to 8 p.m and July 14 from 2 to<br />
4 p.m. at RASgalleries in Yountville.<br />

Golden Haven Hot Springs<br />
BY KARIN ARGOUD<br />
Want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and<br />
not spend a fortune? Calm your mind, sooth your soul and beautify<br />
your body at Golden Haven Hot Springs and Spa. <strong>This</strong> charming<br />
Calistoga Spa is nestled in the heart of the legendary Napa Valley<br />
<strong>Wine</strong> <strong>Country</strong> and has everything you need for the perfect getaway at<br />
the perfect price. Melt your troubles away with the magical Calistoga<br />
hot springs water and rejuvenating spa treatments at Golden Haven.<br />
People have been coming to Calistoga for over a hundred years to<br />
enjoy the hot springs mineral waters. Why? The Calistoga mineral<br />
waters contain more than 35 minerals and have been touted to have<br />
great health benefits. Besides, it’s fun and if you love wine, Golden<br />
Haven offers guests a winery guide with great deals on tours and<br />
tastings.<br />
Or maybe you want to just take a deep breath and unwind. You<br />
deserve to feel this good, balanced, rested and connected with<br />
yourself. So go ahead, spoil yourself with a soothing massage, or<br />
luxurious herbal facial, or detoxifying European Body Wraps and<br />
relax in a mud bath. Staff members will guide you throughout the<br />
entire process of a traditional mud bath that this Calistoga spa is<br />
known for. Golden Haven’s private treatment rooms for mud baths<br />
were chosen as the favorite mud bath experience of all the Napa<br />
Valley spas.<br />
“What people really love about this place is that we are oriented<br />
towards couples and we are one of the only spas in town that does<br />
the traditional mud bath for couples,” said General Manager, Barry<br />
Stern. Stern explains that a traditional mud bath is a thick<br />
combination of clay, peat moss and hot springs mineral water. “What<br />
we have here is really thick mud,” adds Stern. “Some Calistoga spas<br />
just add water to clay, so it’s more like a liquid. At Golden Haven, you<br />
will enjoy the traditional mud bath that is world famous.” Stern says<br />
that the peat moss gives thickness and buoyancy to the mud “So you<br />
are floating, which makes it<br />
relaxing, it sooths your muscles<br />
and takes out toxins.” Stern says<br />
it’s fun too, because you can take<br />
a mud bath together in a private<br />
room for two. The mud bath is<br />
flushed after every use with hot<br />
mineral water at temperatures<br />
between 102 and 104 degrees.<br />
Between treatments, you can<br />
soak in sun and enjoy the<br />
outdoor pool and Jacuzzi heated<br />
naturally with water from the<br />
Calistoga hot springs, which<br />
emerges from the ground at 140-<br />
degrees. The minerals in the<br />
water are excellent for softening<br />
your skin. The pool is housed in<br />
42<br />
an inviting cabana that also includes a shower and changing room.<br />
There is a sun deck, floral gardens and picnic area.44_ too.<br />
“We offer the best deals in Calistoga,” said Stern. He wants guests<br />
to know that Golden Haven Hot Springs “offers a really great<br />
experience with wonderful services. We are welcoming,<br />
unpretentious, comfortable and affordable!”<br />
All the rooms have been remodeled in last five years and include a<br />
private bath or shower, color cable TV, air conditioning, a refrigerator,<br />
and complimentary coffee, tea and bottled water. There are three<br />
types of rooms: standard rooms, superior rooms and the most<br />
popular Jacuzzi rooms. Those rooms feature a full size whirlpool spa,<br />
king bed, vaulted ceilings and dressing area.<br />
Make sure, before booking a room, to go to the website and check<br />
out their current specials. It’s usually more affordable to come on a<br />
weekday, but right now they are offering Sizzling Summer Specials.<br />
For only $319 you can stay in a superior room and get mud baths<br />
and massages for two. Check website for specific dates at<br />
www.goldenhaven.com.<br />
Golden Haven Hot Springs is open Monday through Sunday from<br />
8 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. for spa treatments. The pool is open year-round<br />
from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and is located at 1713 Lake Street, Calistoga,<br />
CA 94515. For reservations, call (707) 942-8000.<br />

BY SUE STRAIGHT, THE WINE WENCH<br />
Great wines, friendly staff, unpretentious atmosphere and stunning views of<br />
the Dry Creek Valley – Wilson <strong>Wine</strong>ry is all this and much more.<br />
When Ken and Diane Wilson started restoring the old corrugated tin barn<br />
(once known as the Chris Fredson <strong>Wine</strong>ry) in 1993, they had no idea of the<br />
adventure they were embarking on. When they started the project, there were<br />
still old redwood tanks and vats in the cellar. Now, almost 20 years later, they<br />
have produced dozens of award-winning wines, garnered lots of critical acclaim<br />
and most importantly, made lots of friends and fans. Wilson <strong>Wine</strong>ry is the first<br />
winery in their growing family of Wilson Artisan <strong>Wine</strong>ries, which includes<br />
Mazzocco, Soda Rock, Matrix, Jaxon Keys, deLorimier and most recently, Pezzi<br />
King.<br />
Owner/<strong>Wine</strong>maker Diane Wilson crafts big juicy, jammy, tail-waggin’ good<br />
Zinfandels (and Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Petite Sirah,<br />
too) that are way too easy to drink! If you are already a Zinfandel fan, you must<br />
go there and taste a few. If you are not a Zinfandel fan, you must go there and<br />
taste a few – those wines just might make a believer out of you! I’m not the<br />
only fan – Wilson <strong>Wine</strong>ry’s wines recently won 25 medals (including three<br />
double gold medals and six gold medals) at the San Francisco Chronicle <strong>Wine</strong><br />
Competition!<br />
The winery is surrounded by lush, green lawn, which is partially shaded by<br />
tall oak trees. There have been occasional sightings of pink plastic patio<br />
flamingos on the lawn (the Wilson family definitely has a sense of humor), but<br />
there is nothing kitschy about this place, folks! A handful of wrought iron<br />
picnic tables are artfully placed about the shaded patio, inviting visitors to stay<br />
a while and enjoy the gorgeous, sweeping views of the surrounding Dry Creek<br />
Valley.<br />
The tasting room is comfortable and well laid out, with the main bar<br />
spanning the back of the room and another bar off to the side for VIP tastings<br />
and large groups. Large windows let in lots of light and watercolors by a local<br />
artist dot the walls, creating a bright, airy atmosphere. The overall vibe in the<br />
tasting room is casual and welcoming.<br />
A tasteful selection of non-wine gift items is artfully laid out for the<br />
discerning shopper, including some dog-related gifts (Wilson <strong>Wine</strong>ry is dog<br />
friendly). A refrigerator is stocked with cheeses, cold cuts, bottled water and<br />
chilled wines, making it easy for visitors to create an impromptu picnic.<br />
Wilson <strong>Wine</strong>ry has the well-earned reputation for being a fun place to visit.<br />
The tasting room staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they genuinely enjoy<br />
chatting with visitors. They also feature live music performed by local bands on<br />
a regular basis (my band has played there several times and I can tell you firsthand<br />
that these events are really fun!).<br />
I tasted a few wines during my visit. The following were my favorites:<br />
2009 Molly’s Zinfandel ($34) – <strong>This</strong> is Zinfandel with a capital “Z!”<br />
Mouthwatering aromas of blackberry, plum, black pepper and brambles lead<br />
into a juicy mouthful of consistent flavors, which linger through the finish.<br />
Yum!<br />
2009 Wilson Family Red ($34) – <strong>This</strong> is a big-bodied, delicious, red blend,<br />
loaded with aromas and flavors of plum, blueberry, blackberry and peppery<br />
spice.<br />
Wilson <strong>Wine</strong>ry is a must-stop on your next visit to Sonoma County!<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<br />
the 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 />

TOM MEADOWCROFT<br />
“My passion for wines comes from my experiences growing up, working<br />
and traveling in Europe and the United States,” says Tom Meadowcroft,<br />
winemaker and owner of Sonoma’s Meadowcroft <strong>Wine</strong>s. “I started my journey<br />
in winemaking by working the harvest of 1979 in Bordeaux, France.”<br />
His passion for wine continued as he worked at wineries in both<br />
Washington and the Napa Valley. He took numerous extension courses from<br />
U.C. Davis and graduated from Napa College with an <strong>As</strong>sociate of Science<br />
degree in <strong>Wine</strong>ry Technology and Viticulture. He became a vineyard manager<br />
focused on sustainable farming and environmental advocacy.<br />
“Managing dozens of vineyards for many of the top wineries in Napa and<br />
Sonoma taught me the principles of winegrowing and gave me a vision for the<br />
kinds of wines that I make today,” says Meadowcroft. Over the years he has<br />
gotten a well-earned reputation for the quality of the wine he creates and a<br />
passion for the environment, two things he considers inseparable today, and<br />
for an ongoing stewardship for the land that nurtures the grapes.<br />
“The way I look at it, what I do is not just about the landscape and the<br />
wine; it is just as much about sustainability.” He adds, “The fruit that comes<br />
from our own vineyards as well as those from which we source, all use<br />
sustainable practices.”<br />
The standard bearer of the Meadowcroft label is the Mt. Veeder Estate<br />
Grown Cabernet Sauvignon. An award-winning wine since its first vintage in<br />
2005 which received 94 points in <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast, the current 2008 release<br />
stands shoulder to shoulder with its predecessors and just recently garnered a<br />
91 rating from the magazine. The Meadowcroft label also produces<br />
Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Sangiovese, Viognier and Pinot Noir.<br />
In addition to the flagship Meadowcroft label, Tom has also created Thomas<br />
Henry <strong>Wine</strong>s named for his father, Thomas Henry Meadowcroft, and crafted<br />
for daily enjoyment and for sharing with friends and family. “My dad always<br />
looked for great wines at a good price,” says Meadowcroft, “We lived and<br />
traveled throughout Europe together by car, foot and on bicycle, sharing the<br />
lessons of life, family and friends and that philosophy remains with every<br />
bottle of Thomas Henry we produce.”<br />
The Thomas Henry label features Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Merlot, Meritage,<br />
Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon.<br />
In addition to the Meadowcroft and Thomas Henry brands, Tom also<br />
makes the wines for the Foyt Family. With each varietal, a memory in motor<br />
sports from the Foyt family’s rich history, which extends over some five<br />
decades, is shared. But the name Foyt is more than just a celebrity name on a<br />
bottle.<br />
Foyt Family <strong>Wine</strong>s was created by Larry Foyt and A.J. Foyt IV, the son and<br />
grandson, respectively, of world renown racing legend A. J. Foyt. Their<br />
venture began with their passion for fine wine, and as a way of creating a<br />
tribute to A.J. as well. The Foyt Family label presently includes a Chardonnay,<br />
a Meritage and a Cabernet with additional vintages planned for the future.<br />
“Our style of winemaking for all of our labels is all about balance,” says<br />
Meadowcroft. “Not too much oak, because I never want to mask the varietal<br />
characteristics that are so essential.”<br />
To see for yourself, take a trip to the tasting room located at Cornerstone<br />
Sonoma, only five miles south of the town of Sonoma, 40 miles north of the<br />
Golden Gate Bridge and just across the street from Gloria Ferrer.<br />

The Tenth Annual Petite Sirah Symposium<br />
Sponsored by Concannon Vineyard, Livermore, July 31, 8:30 a.m.<br />
The best and brightest Petite Sirah talent in California is again<br />
gathering to discuss Petite Sirah grape growing, winemaking and<br />
marketing issues as they continue to share their enthusiasm for this<br />
stealth variety of consequence.<br />
Since PS I Love You began after the first Petite Sirah Symposium,<br />
interest for Petite Sirah has grown substantially. In the past ten years,<br />
the number of Petite Sirah producers and growers has grown from 62<br />
in 2002 to more than 1,000 in 2012. Anyone who has attended the<br />
symposium understands the correlation between what was the case<br />
ten years ago, to what is the story today.<br />
Petite Sirah is truly an artisan winemakers “pet” project, with most<br />
of these wines being sold directly through tasting room sales and<br />
wine clubs. Most wine critics are not seeing these wines for critical<br />
review. However, the media tasting that follows the morning session<br />
of the symposium will provide a rare view of what many of these<br />
wineries are doing.<br />

BEST OF THE PETS TASTING<br />
The event promises to be one of exploration,<br />
education and continued enlightenment.<br />
<strong>This</strong> year, Concannon is reflecting on having grown<br />
this heritage variety for 100 years<br />
Jim Concannon had the foresight to varietally label Petite Sirah in<br />
1964, with a 1961 vintage, marking last year as Petite Sirah’s Golden<br />
Anniversary.<br />
“Concannon is the best location for the Petite Sirah Symposium,”<br />
states Jo Diaz, founding executive director of PS I Love You, Inc.<br />
“Petite Sirah is Concannon’s flagship wine; couple that with the fact<br />
that Concannon’s commitment to sponsoring the Petite Sirah<br />
Symposium has kept it in the forefront of interest by U.S. wine<br />
reviewers for all of these years.<br />
Nes: Big Change of venue for this year, only<br />
Due to office renovations at Concannon Vineyard, the Symposium<br />
Sessions will be held at the Martinelli Event Center (Sessions, only)<br />

The Santa Cruz Mountains <strong>Wine</strong>growers <strong>As</strong>sociation invites you to<br />
enjoy the wineries of this extraordinary appellation!<br />
<strong>As</strong> a Passport holder, explore the extraordinary viticultural region<br />
and become acquainted with the incredible diversity of the wines and<br />
winemakers therein. Passport wineries will be open on the third<br />
Saturday of January, April, July and November. Most Passport<br />
wineries are open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (please call to confirm) or check<br />
scmwa.com/participating-wineries.<br />
Each season brings something new to the vineyards; from pruning<br />
in the winter to crush in the fall, wineries are bustling with activity<br />
year-round! Passport is your opportunity to meet the talented<br />
winemakers of the Santa Cruz Mountains and to see where and how<br />
they produce some of the world’s great wines.<br />
Some of the wineries are not open to the public except on Passport<br />
days and many pour special wines or barrel samples on these days. A<br />
lot of these wines are simply not available anywhere else, so if you<br />
find a wine that you like, buy a bottle or two.<br />
Use the map provided as a rough guide only and read the<br />
directions for each individual winery. At each winery you visit, a page<br />
of your Passport will be given a unique commemorative stamp. You<br />
must have your Passport with you in order to participate in the<br />
tasting. Passport benefits are good for one visit to each participating<br />
winery. Your Passport may be used any time the participating winery<br />
is open. Passports do not expire until each participating winery has<br />
been visited once.<br />
Purchase a Passport for $45 donation by calling (831) 685-8463<br />
or by visiting the website at www.scmwa.com. Passports will be<br />
available to purchase at any participating winery on Passport day,<br />
while supplies last. It is strongly recommended to call the winery<br />
ahead of time to make sure they have passports available.<br />
Participating wineries include Alfaro Family Vineyard, Bargetto<br />

SANTA CLARA/SANTA CRUZ/MONTEREY COUNTIES | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK<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<br />
for value,<br />
convenience, comfort<br />
and quiet. A good<br />
nights’ sleep is what you need most after an exhausting day touring<br />
17 Mile Drive, playing a round on a championship golf course, gazing<br />
at the wonders of the deep at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, playing<br />
tourist on Cannery Row and Fisherman’s Wharf and winetasting and<br />
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 />
