Why is wine aged in oak? 

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 

Aging wine in oak came about by accident. A few hundred years 

ago, before the mass production of glass bottles, wine was sold in 

bulk and transported in wooden barrels. Merchants, the majority in 

England, would then resell the wine, keeping it in barrels the whole 

time. Wood barrels were easy to move by rolling them, easy to 

control their movement, because of the concave shape of the barrel, 

and wood was relatively inexpensive. 

In the course of transporting wine across the English Channel, 

the wine would transform. A startling discovery came when people 

noticed the difference in the color, flavor and texture of the wine 

after spending time in contact with the wood. The wine also lasted 

longer before spoiling when left to sit inside a barrel and take in the 

tannins from the wood. Before long, wine producers realized the 

benefits of making oak contact with the wine part of their normal 

winemaking regimen. 

Oak’s inherent characteristics make it the obvious choice among 

wood species. It is durable, yet can be bent into shape when heated. 

It has good anti-leaking properties, yet it allows microscopic 

amounts of air through it over time to enhance the wine’s structure 

without spoiling it. When heated to high temperatures, the wood 

produces chemical compounds that elicit flavors of vanilla, almond, 

cloves and spice, all of which complement many wines, to one 

extent or another. 

Today, wine is not only aged in oak, but sometimes also 

fermented in oak. With a winemaker’s skill, the seamless integration 

of wine and wood can create an attractive taste and aroma. The 

drawback to oak in wine comes when the flavors from the wood 

overtake those of the fruit. Not only does this hide the true varietal 

character of the grape, it also creates clashes when trying to pair the 

wine with food. 

Red wines that almost always are aged in oak include Cabernet 

Sauvignon, Merlot (and blends of them), Zinfandel, Syrah, Pinot 

Noir and Sangiovese. The most popular white wine to age in a barrel 

is Chardonnay, while other white wines may or may not, depending 

on the grape and style of the winemaker. 

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 

Quality Wines All Under $25 

at Wine Garage, Calistoga 

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 an large assortment from Napa and Sonoma counties and other California 

appellations. 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 high-quality 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.

WINERY FEATURE | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK 

Turnbull Wine Cellars 

by Michelle J. Baker 

Ask 100 winemakers about how to make 

good wine, and it’s a sure bet all of them will 

tell you the same thing: you have to start 

with good grapes. 

But to make truly great wine – the kind 

that catches your breath, makes you sip 

slowly so the bottle lasts longer, and compels 

you to pause and reflect – you have to start 

with truly great grapes. 

And great grapes, the product of “great 

farming and great vineyard sites” is the great 

luxury enjoyed by Turnbull Wine Cellars 

winemaker Peter Heitz. Heitz, who came on 

board just before the 2007 harvest, oversees 

production from “dirt to bottle.” Turnbull 

now owns more than 150 acres of “dirt” 

across four prime vineyard sites: 

Turnbull Home Ranch (in Oakville on the 

valley floor), which produces reds that are 

“bright and fresh, with fruit intensity”; 

Fortuna Ranch (in Oakville on a slope), 

which produces reds with “signature black 

tea tannins and big black fruit”; Amoenus 

Ranch (in the Calistoga hills), where the reds 

are “rich and opulent”; and Leopoldina 

Ranch (on the Oakville Bench at 900-1400 

feet elevation), where “boulders the size of 

Volkswagens create a more structured, 

texture-driven wine.” 

Every bottle of Turnbull says “Estate 

Grown” on the label because it is an 

uncommon occurrence in these days of 

virtual wineries and bulk wine negociants. 

“It’s a real luxury,” says Heitz. “You can be a 

good winemaker and have nice equipment, 

but the vineyards are the key to producing 

great wine.” 

And the wines at Turnbull are nothing 

short of spectacular. The signature Turnbull 

wine is the Black Label, a reserve Bordeauxstyle 

blend that Heitz makes from his 20 best 

barrels. This month Turnbull will release the 

2007 Black Label, which Robert Parker gave 

94 points and called, “perhaps the best wine 

I have ever tasted from Turnbull.” 

Turnbull is probably best known for two 

other wines: their Napa Valley Cabernet 

Sauvignon, a perennial 90-plus point rated 

wine that is a bargain among Napa Valley 

Cabs at $40; and the Old Bull, a red blend 

whose composition changes every year but is 

consistently rich, fruit-forward – and a steal 

at $19 a bottle. Also needing a mention is 

Turnbull’s Sauvignon Blanc, a delicious wine 

that has a range of luscious flavors ranging 

from citrus to melon, guava and passion fruit 

($15). 

Renowned Bay Area architect William 

Turnbull originally founded Johnson Turnbull 

Vineyards in 1979. Turnbull won several 

architectural awards for his work on Fisher 

Winery, Cakebread Cellars and Newton Vineyards. 

He designed Turnbull Cellars to be low 

key and in tune with its environment. 

William Turnbull once said, “You want to 

have an image of a winery that cares about 

the last drop of wine in the bottle.” In 1993, 

the winery was purchased by a private party 

and renamed Turnbull Wine Cellars. 

Focusing on fine art as well as fine wine, 

Turnbull Wine Cellars boasts one of the 

largest permanent photography exhibitions 

on the West Coast, consisting of a vintage 

collection that rotates every six months, 

elegantly displayed in the Reserve Tasting 

Room. Each show features 60 to 90 original, 

privately owned works by master photographers 

including Ansel Adams, Edward 

Weston, Berenice Abbott, Eugene Atget, 

Andre Kertesz, Edward Steichen and Yousuf 

Karsh. Beautiful barrels, an antique bar and a 


WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINERY FEATURE 

cathedral ceiling of exposed 

wood beams create the perfect 

setting to taste some of Turnbull’s 

winery-exclusive wines and take 

in the current fine art photography 

exhibit. 

On October 16, Turnbull 

Wine Cellars will open a new 

exhibit, “Foto Europa,” with 

more than 80 photographs 

featuring interesting faces and 

exotic places of Europe captured 

between 1894 and 2000. At the 

opening Turnbull will also officially 

release the 2007 Black 

Label. Tickets to the opening gala 

event, which runs from 5:30 to 8 

p.m., are $30 per person for the 

general public and complimentary 

for Turnbull Wine Club 

members. 

Turnbull recently added a new 

VIP room where the hospitality 

staff hosts Wine & Food Pairing 

Classes. Turnbull’s wine educator 

will guide you through the intricacies 

of food and wine pairing as 

you sip their limited release 

wines. You’ll get to see what pairings 

work and what pairings 

don’t. These private classes are 

limited to six people, and all 

participants also receive a 

complimentary wine journal to 

take notes, as a souvenir of the 

experience. The Wine & Food 

Pairing is $40 for the general 

public and $20 for Turnbull wine 

club members. 

Turnbull Wine Cellars is 

located at 8210 St. Helena 

Highway in Oakville. The tasting 

room is open (no appointment 

necessary) from 10 a.m. until 

4:30 p.m. daily. The Reserve 

Tasting Room and Art Gallery is 

open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. 

daily. There is no charge to 

browse the Art Gallery. Private 

group tours are available by 

appointment – make a reservation 

at least 72 hours in advance 

at info@turnbullwines.com or 

1-800-887-6285.

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK 

MUMM NAPA 

By Charles Neave 

There a dozen good drives in the Napa 

Valley, probably more. All have views of 

terrain, vines, olive trees. Every now and the 

there’s a pond, sometimes a bed and breakfast 

or a Tuscan-style villa on a hillside. You can 

head up Redwood Road toward Mt. Veeder, 

take the twists and turns of the Oakville 

Grade for panoramic views, use cross roads 

like Yountville, Oakville and Rutherford, or 

go to Spring Mountain rising above St. 

Helena. And of course there is the inevitable 

Route 29. And this is just a sampling. 

But for over two decades I’ve had a soft 

spot for the Silverado Trail, running south to 

north, Napa to Calistoga, with no towns to 

slow traffic, and just a single stop sign. Along 

the way is a favorite stop: the sparkling wine 

house that is the justly famous Mumm Napa. 

Like the Trail itself, it offers views not 

through the vineyards, but across and over 

them. The elevation is not extreme but the 

overall effect always is, at any time of day or 

in the late afternoon when the sun begins to 

set over the Mayacamas Mountains on the far 

side of the valley. At times the play of light and 

shadow is almost magical. 

Last year the winery added a stunning new 

terrace for visitors. Located between the 

22 

tasting room and the winery and facing the 

vineyards it surrounds a 180-year-old Blue 

Oak tree with special wood decking. Down a 

few steps and surrounded by stone is the 

lower deck at vineyard level. As always, you 

will be served by an always friendly, charming 

and informative tasting room staff. 

Called the Oak Terrace, this new outdoor 

space offers more room for special events, and 

visitors to it have a new and different tasting 

menu to choose from, focused around some 

of the rarer wines they have in their extensive 

cellar. 

Included among these tastes might be the 

older vintages of Library Wines, the coveted 

DVX, a refreshing DVX Rosé, and the 

outstanding and overwhelmingly popular 

Blanc de Blanc. Rare non-sparkling wines 

such as an older vintage fruit-filled Pinot Noir 

are also on the special Oak Terrace tasting 

menu. In addition to this, special pairings of 

Artisan cheeses, fruit and local chocolates are 

also available, while in the tasting room a 

“petite pairing plate” of crackers, dried fruit 

and nuts is available. 

Later, take a walk through the art gallery at 

the end of the footway which showcases a 

collection of the photography of Ansel 

Adams, one of the country’s national treasures. 

It is in the same building that houses 

the winemaking operation as well as tank and 

barrel storage, which you will see if you take 

the complimentary tour at 10 a.m. or join the 

11 a.m., 1 or 3 p.m. tour that includes wine 

tasting for $20. It is the perfect way to learn 

about the complexities that go into turning 

premium grapes into fine sparkling wines, a 

tradition that has been going on for centuries. 

One note: there are also private tour and 

tasting options. 

As anyone who has enjoyed visiting 

Mumm Napa knows, hospitality is always 

first rate. With this new addition they have 

simply expanded their options, and have 

given visitors a chance to enjoy even more of 

their wines in a beautiful and exceptional 

setting, just as they continue to do in the sunfilled 

tasting room. 

The tasting room at Mumm Napa is open 

every day from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. with the 

last seating at 4:45 a.m. and that complimentary 

tour at 10 a.m. They are located at 8445 

Silverado Trail between the Oakville Cross 

Road and the Rutherford Cross Road. No 

appointment is necessary for groups fewer 

than six people. 

For groups of six or more arriving by limo 

or in a bus group, advance reservations are 

necessary. For more information call the 

winery at 1-800-MUM-NAPA or (707) 967- 

7700 (or 1-866-783-5826 for special events), 

or go to www.mummnapa.com. 


Tim Cotterill, the world famous bronze 

artist also known as “Frogman,” is coming to 

North Bay Gallery to celebrate the release of 

the gallery’s exclusive show frog on Saturday, 

October 16 from 1 to 5 p.m at the V Marketplace 

specialty retail complex in Yountville. 

Cotterill who is widely known for his whimsical 

bronze frog sculptures that have fascinated 

collectors for the past 30 years, will be 

unveiling his latest frog sculpture called 

“Zinny,” cast especially for North Bay Gallery. 

The special wine nitrate patina bronze 

named, “Zinny,” after red Zinfandel wine will 

be highly collectible, since only 125 of these 

limited-edition, signed and numbered frogs 

will be offered. Like fine Zinfandel, Zinny has 

sleek lines and sculpted legs. He has sweet 

bold flavors of cherry, blackberry and raspberry 

and a smooth finish. Born in the Napa 

Valley, Zinny will be savored for years to 

come! 

Frog collectors and art enthusiasts are 

invited to attend the wine & cheese reception 

for Tim. He will be personally signing any

FOLIE À DEUX & NAPA CELLARS 

The tasting room for Folie à Deux and 

Napa Cellars is a uniquely refreshing experience 

in the Napa Valley. Down-to-earth, laidback 

and fresh are the words that best 

describe the tasting room where you’ll often 

find the guests rocking out to AC/DC. If you 

want to have an entertaining and fun experience 

in the Napa Valley, this is the tasting 

room to visit. 

Located in the center of the Napa Valley, 

surrounded by prime Oakville vineyards, the 

Folie à Deux and Napa Cellars tasting room 

boasts several features that have guests 

returning time and time again. First of all, this 

tasting room pours an exceptional selection of 

beautiful Napa Valley and California wines 

including Folie à Deux, Napa Cellars and 

Ménage à Trois. 

The Folie à Deux and Napa Cellars wines 

are outstanding examples of classic Napa 

Valley varietals. Make sure to try the Napa 

Cellars Chardonnay. The Chardonnay is made 

from grapes sourced from South Napa, where 

cool bay air provides the perfect weather for 

producing a wine with big tropical fruit 

flavors and aromas of clove spiced oak and 

coconut. This award-winning wine showcases 

balanced acidity and ends with a long, 

polished finish. 

The Folie à Deux Cabernet Sauvignon is 

also an exceptional wine to try. For those who 

love a powerful Cab, this wine delivers ample 

fruit flavors of blackberry and black cherry. 

The chocolate, mint and leather characteristics 

lead to balanced tannins: a true Napa 

Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. 

There are several tasting flights to choose 

from at the tasting room and all tasting fees 

are priced at only $5. “We want guests to have 

a fantastic time here at the tasting room, and 

when they leave, we want them to say ‘Wow, 

I had a great experience’,” says Tasting Room 

Manager Dean Slattery. “Our wines are fun 

and the tasting room really reflects the spirit 

of the wines.” 

The Folie à Deux and Napa Cellars experience 

continues outside the walls of the tasting 

room. Beautiful fall weather is starting in the 

Napa Valley so bring a picnic to the tasting 

room. The winery’s picnic area is the perfect 

spot to enjoy an outdoor meal amongst the 

vineyard leaves, which turn stunning shades 

of red and yellow in the autumn. 

The Folie à Deux and Napa Cellars tasting 

room is located at 7481 St. Helena Highway, 

Oakville, CA 94562. Tasting room hours are 

10 to 6 p.m. daily.

the area’s freshly-harvested, organic produce, cheeses and fresh 

flowers. There’s something for everyone!

CornerStone is nestled into the tip of the legendary Carneros 

region and situated along the main gateway between Sonoma Valley 

and Napa Valley. The Gardens at Cornerstone are a series of walkthrough 

gardens showcasing new and innovative designs from the 

world’s finest landscape architects and designers. When commissioned, 

these artists were given the freedom to create anything from 

traditional gardens to modern, conceptual installations. 

Each designer was provided a garden parcel of approximately 

1,800 square feet, a few practical considerations and infinite opportunity. 

Cornerstone Gardens was recently included in 1001 Gardens 

to See Before you Die by Rae Spencer-Jones & Elizabeth Scholtz. 

More information on CornerStone can be found at www.cornerstonegardens.com.

Napa Valley’s Silverado Trail – ‘A Road Less Traveled’ 

As we all know, when it comes to wine the Napa Valley is one place 

made up of many different regions, districts, AVAs, associations and so 

on. Sometimes one of the things that helps unite them is a road and 

the area around it. A road such as the Silverado Trail that runs through 

this famous Valley. It is often referred to, and accurately so, as “Napa 

Valley’s Road Less Traveled.” 

The Silverado Trail Wineries Association is a group of more than 40 

wineries and businesses along the historic Silverado Trail, which runs 

the tranquil and scenic eastside of this world-renowned wine region. 

Association winery members consist of both large and small 

producers, all offering wines of the highest caliber and acclaim as well 

as exceptional hospitality. Visitors are welcome year round as most 

wineries have tasting rooms open to the public, while some are by 

appointment only. 

Currently member wineries include an extensive listing of some of 

the Napa Valley’s finest wineries of all sizes and types. Some you have 

certainly heard of, others might be new to you. They include places

Suisun Valley – Hidden But Treasured Wine Country 


First, foremost and always, the Suisun Valley in Solano County just 

25 minutes from Napa, has its roots – often quite literally – in the 

business and passion of agriculture. And nowhere is that more evident 

than in the rich earth and thriving vineyards and farms of the Suisun 

Valley, the stretch of land that runs to the west of Fairfield and Interstate 

80, and borders the county of Napa on two sides. 

Perfectly situated between a pair of coastal mountain ranges, the 

Mount George Range on the west and the Vaca Mountains to the east, 

this verdant six by two mile valley sits within the Coastal climate 

region. It is also an area where fog rarely visits, though it is not far 

from both the Sacramento River delta and San Francisco’s San Pablo 

Bay. 

Set within this compact area are more than 10,000 acres of rich 

farmland, almost a third of them planted to the grapes that help 

supply the area’s flourishing wineries, and many with a more familiar 

Napa Valley label. This region is part of the North Coast Appellation, 

a district famous for what is known as “ultra-premium” fruit, which 

in the case of wine lovers everywhere means wine grapes, planted to 

a staggering number of both familiar and rare varieties. 

If you look at a map of where many growers in Napa County and 

beyond source their grapes or own vineyards, you will be surprised at 

how many have vineyard holdings here. This is in addition to the 

dozen or so wineries that call the Suisun Valley their home, and both 

make, age, bottle and market their wines here. Many also have their 

own tasting rooms, and during the year hold – both individually and 

collectively – special events to lure those who appreciate wine to their 

cellar doors. 

The Suisun Valley is also dotted with farm stands and working 

farms that welcome visitors. There are quaint spots to eat and relax, 

30 

and it is the driving force behind the annual Tomato Festival in Fairfield, 

and for other events that occur throughout the year. But most of 

all it stands as enduing symbol of the real, living heritage of this part 

of the hidden but treasured wine country of Northern California.

NAPA VALLEY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK 

Tasting Room of the Week: 

BENNETT LANE WINERY 


When you visit the Calistoga tasting room 

of Bennett Lane Winery, at what is called the 

“Pinnacle of the Valley” near the Palisades, 

you know right away that it is a special place. 

Nestled between the Mayacamas and Vaca 

ranges, the geographical features, the landscape, 

and the rows of carefully tended vines 

are all part of the atmosphere, one created by 

food and wine lovers Randy and Lisa Lynch. 

Not surprisingly it was a combination of 

the two – food and wine – that led to the 

creation of this boutique winery. It was traveling 

through Europe, and specifically the 

ancient wine country of Italy, when an 

enduring love of fine wine took root. A 

passion that has only continued to grow. That 

passion, plus the time and the resources, led 

to the winery they now own and a spot where 

you often find one or both of them. 

But in the beginning, they had to choose a 

direction for their new winery, so they 

decided to create a classic red wine that 

would easily pair with food, a very European 

approach and one they were – and continue 

to be – quite happy with. 

They named their first wine named 

32 

Maximus, after the Roman Emperor Magnus 

Maximus, a famous wine lover. A beautifully 

crafted blend of Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah with 

a touch of Malbec and Petit Verdot. It is only 

aged for 18 months and mostly in neutral oak 

– approachable young and one of the best 

values in the Napa Valley at just $35. 

In addition to the famous Maximus red, 

today they make a Los Carneros Reserve 

Chardonnay using only Chardonnay grapes 

from the Sangiacomo Vineyards located in 

Carneros, then aged in 30 percent new 

French oak. There is a White Maximus which 

is 87% Sauvignon Blanc, 11% Chardonnay 

and 2% Muscat and has aromas of orange 

blossom and honeysuckle. Plus a rich, ruby 

red and complex Bennett Lane Napa Valley 

Cabernet Sauvignon, and a Reserve Cab. To 

finish is their dessert Port-style wine, made in 

very limited quantities. 

To taste these wines follow their driveway, 

where vines stretch out on either side, to the 

attractive, California-meets-Europe tasting 

room. With French doors leading out to 

gardens, it is warm, welcoming and friendly; 

the perfect balance of sophisticated and 

casual. Sample the wine (there are two very 

different flights to choose from), and enjoy 

the ambience. If you are a wine club member 

and have stopped and gathered up a picnic 

lunch, enjoy the wine in this perfect spot, far 

removed from noise, traffic and cares of the 

world, with unobstructed views of Mount St. 

Helena and the Palisades in the distance. 

One other very seasonal note: they will be 

conducting harvest tours daily, so stop by to 

see harvest in action and even get a chance for 

a vineyard tour if there are still grapes on the 

vine 

The Bennett Lane tasting room is located 

at 3340 Highway 128, on the right side a few 

miles after you leave Calistoga. It’s open daily 

from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For more information, 

go to www.bennettlane.com, or call at 1- 

877-MAX-NAPA (1-877-629-6272).

October 30 from 8 p.m. until 12:30 a.m. 

A popular Amici Del Barone wine club event features a haunted 

tour to the lower 81,000 square feet of the Castello; an outrageous 

costume contest, dancing in the Castello’s Great Hall to Masterpiece, a 

12-piece San Francisco cover band, wine bars and hors d’oeuvres. 

There is no cost to join the Amici Del Barone wine club. Those 

interested in joining the club and attending The Pagan Ball need only 

buy a case of 12 wines or join one of the six shipping clubs. 

The cost for the event is $95 for wine club members and $115 for 

their guests.

About Castello di Amorosa 

Rising above the hills in the Napa Valley is Castello di Amorosa, 

which translates to the “castle of love” in Italian. It was built over a 14- 

year period by Dario Sattui, a fourth generation winemaker and owner 

of V. Sattui Winery in St. Helena. 

The Wall Street Journal cited Castello di Amorosa as a “must-see 

destination,” and more recently, the Contra Costa Times included 

Castello di Amorosa as one of the top destination wineries in the 

country. 

Reminiscent of old world castles, the Castello has Italian frescoes, 

defensive fortifications, ramparts, a moat and drawbridge, a dungeon 

and torture chamber, secret passage ways, courtyards, loggias, a 

church and stables. Finally, at 12,000 square feet, the wine barrel room 

is, perhaps, the single most impressive barrel room in the U.S. and is 

constructed with ancient Roman cross-vaulted ceilings. 

The Castello, however, is merely a backdrop to showcase some of 

the Napa Valley’s best wines. The internationally acclaimed wines are 

primarily Italian varieties that pair well with foods from around the 

world. Currently producing 15,000 cases per year, the Castello’s wines 

are sold only at the winery, directly to the consumer. Guided tours 

which include a private tasting are available by appointment and wine 

tasting needs no appointment. 

Castello di Amorosa is located at 4045 Highway 29, just 5.5 miles 

north of St. Helena on the left. For more information, visit the website, 

at www.castellodiamorosa.com or call (707) 967-6272.

Grgich Hills Estate Offers Grape Stomping Through Harvest 

Lucy did it and you can, too – stomp grapes, that is. 

Mike Grgich first stomped grapes when he was three years old 

growing up in Croatia and he says his feet itch to stomp grapes every 

harvest. That’s why, each year, Grgich Hills Estate offers customers a 

“feet-on,” traditional approach to making wine by offering grape 

stomping at the winery. This year stomping will continue through the 

end of harvest (probably the end of October). Stomping is $10 and 

includes an “I stomped at Grgich Hills” pin. Grgich Hills also offers 

the option of creating your own unique keepsake by putting your 

grape-juice stained feet on a white “I stomped at Grgich Hills” t-shirt 

when you step out of the barrel. Cost is $18. Stomping is available at 

the winery daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Reservations are not 

accepted. 

Located at 1829 St. Helena Hwy. (Hwy. 29) in Rutherford, Grgich 

Hills Estate was founded in 1977 by Mike Grgich and Austin Hills of 

the Hills Bros. Coffee family and today owns 366 acres of estate vineyards 

that are certified organic and Biodynamic in Napa Valley. The 

winery is family owned and operated, practicing the art of winemaking 

by crafting food-friendly wines known for their quality, consistency 

and longevity. Mike is assisted by his daughter, Violet Grgich, 

Vice President of Operations, and his nephew, Ivo Jeramaz, Vice President 

of Vineyards and Production. For more information, visit 

www.grgich.com.

Welcome to 

Y O U N T V I L L E 

Napa Valley Bike Tours – Wine Country at a Leisurely Pace 

One of the nicest – not to mention healthiest 

– ways to get to know the Napa Valley has 

to be on a bicycle. The pace is leisurely, you 

can really absorb the sights and sounds 

around you as you pedal along, and you end 

the day – or the week – with an entirely 

different set of memories than if you had 

zipped through this beautiful valley in a car. 

If this sounds as appealing to you has it 

had to thousands of other visitors, Napa 

Valley Bike Tours will be happy to provide the 

helmets and the bikes and a van to follow the 

group so you can toss in any gear, extra 

clothes and purchases you make. All you have 

to do is make a reservation and show up at 

their shop by 9:30 a.m. Full-day tours return 

between 3 and 5 p.m.; half-day tours finish 

between 1 and 2 p.m., rain or shine. 

“We strive to offer an unparalleled experience 

for our guests hoping to be their most 

memorable encounter in wine country. There 

is nothing like removing the window shield 

between you and the beautiful scenery in 

Napa Valley while traveling to small, boutique 

wineries with a knowledgeable guide and 

following support van,” said Brad Dropping, 

company president. 

The company offers a variety of other 

options as well, from kayaking to bike rentals, 

even all-inclusive vacation packages. Plus, for 

corporations and private groups, they offer 

custom tours and team-building events. No 

matter which you pick, cycling or kayaking 

through the Napa Valley are unique and 

always enjoyable experiences. 

Napa Valley Bike Tours is centrally located 

at 6488 Washington St. in Yountville and is 

open every day from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For 

reservations or more information, call them at 

(707) 944-2953 or 1-800- 707-BIKE (2453).

RASgalleries 

in Yountville 

Even owner Ronda Schaer could not have envisioned that her 

affection for the little village of Yountville would someday blossom 

into a full-blown love affair. “This is a town that you can get your 

arms around.” Twenty years ago she did just that. With the opening 

of her now famous art gallery, RAsgalleries, Ronda has embraced her 

community and graced it with one of its most successful and 

admired businesses. 

It was her passion for art, and glass in particular, that moved Ms. 

Schaer to open a gallery. “I have always been drawn to glass.” But it 

was the work of American glass artists that really captured her heart. 

Representing more than two hundred American artists, the gallery 

has become one of the premiere venues in which to experience the 

drama, imagery and vision of this artistic medium. 

Masters of the art form such as Randy Strong, Rick Satavo, 

Richard Silver, Ed Breed, Jack Storms and Mark Levy utilize techniques 

as varied as mouth-blowing, lampwork and fused glass. From 

bowls to vases and sculpture, the genius of these talented people is 

evident wherever your eye falls in this amazing gallery. Small pieces, 

such as perfume bottles and paperweights make ownership of this 

unique art form accessible to all. 

Mr. Levy is one artist in particular who works has earned him the 

title, the “Jackson Pollack of glass”. His thick, fused cast-glass pieces 

are layered with colors and textures that defy labels. His works 

consistently incites passionate responses from art lovers and collectors. 

Ms. Schaer loves that reaction. “People get emotional when they 

enter this gallery. That is what I really enjoy about what I do…seeing 

people smile and experience a spiritual ‘high’ when they see just the 

right piece. There is always a relationship that forms when someone 

becomes attached to a piece of art…between the artist, the work, the 

client and myself. My real joy is when I visit my clients in their 

homes and see how the art has become a part of their lives.” 

The gallery also features the work of some extremely gifted fine 

artists, with original oil paintings from artists throughout California 

and the Pacific Northwest, as well as the Eastern Seaboard and point 

in between. The whimsical chefs of ceramic artist, Cynthia Hipkiss 

are also a favorite of collectors. 

Says Ronda, “I created RAsgalleries with a singular focus on Original 

American Art, primarily Art Glass, my personal passion. And I’m 

proud that after twenty years in the same Yountville, Napa Valley 

location, the passion remains.” 

RASgalleries is located at 6540 Washington Street, next to 

Bouchon in Yountville and is open daily from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., 

Tuesday by appointment. Phone (707) 944-9211. 


Downtown Napa Launches Napa ARTwalk: Napa Valley Sculpture Tour 

Internationally renowned as a mecca for 

wine and food, Napa has now established 

itself as a cultural destination with the 

launch of Napa ARTwalk, an outdoor sculpture 

exhibition in Downtown Napa. The 

new ARTwalk emphasizes Downtown Napa’s 

reputation as a walking town with more 

than 20 wine tasting rooms, 50 restaurants, 

unique retail stores, spas, live entertainment, 

historic walking tours, art galleries, river 

recreation, bicycling and more all within a 

two-mile area. 

Focusing on the theme, “Celebrating the 

Napa River,” the inaugural exhibition is on 

display in public areas throughout Downtown 

Napa until May 2011, when a new 

exhibition of sculptures will be installed. 

Artists from five western states were 

invited to apply and a jury of arts professionals 

selected ten to participate in the 

inaugural exhibition. An exhibition 

Calistoga 

brochure and map is available at several 

TUBBS LANE 

LINCOLN 

locations throughout downtown including 

the Napa Valley Visitors’ Center or may be 

downloaded at www.NapaARTwalk.org. 

Visitors are invited to take the self-guided 

Napa ARTwalk tour along First Street and 

the Napa River and explore and interact 

with the sculpture exhibition on their own 

time, hearing audio commentary about each 

of the ten pieces on display through a new 

breakthrough in Smart Phone technology. 

With a single download of a free Smart 

Phone application, visitors can “scan” cards 

next to each sculpture and hear an audio 

explanation of the work directly through 

their cellular phones. 

During the 11-month program, the 

public will have the opportunity to vote on 

its favorite sculpture work by marking the 

ballot on the map and dropping it in one of 

the ten ballot boxes conveniently located 

along the walking route. 

The goal of Napa ARTwalk is to expand 

public art in Napa and add to the cultural 

landscape of the city by showcasing innovative 

sculpture. The exhibition will rotate 

annually, with a new theme each year and 

expanded locations as feasible. 

“The Napa ARTwalk helps build a 

stronger sense of community downtown and 

provides another reason to explore the area,” 

said Craig Smith, executive director of the 

Napa Downtown Association. “This exhibition 

encourages people to walk around 

Downtown Napa and see everything we 

have to offer, including the river which is 

this year’s theme,” he added. “We are always 

looking at ways to enhance our downtown, 

and public art is a key component to the 

revitalization of any downtown area.” 

For more information on this year’s exhibition, 

visit www.NapaARTwalk.org or call 

(707) 257-2117 or . For more information

The ‘Full Immersion’ Weekend of Pinot Noir! 

‘Pinot On The River Festival,’ An Intimate Event For Pinot Lovers 

More than 100 small-production Pinot Noir producers will join 

hundreds of serious Pinot Noir fanatics at the 2010 Pinot on the River 

Festival, held October 22, 23 and 24 at the Rodney Strong Vineyards 

event center and other venues in Sonoma County’s Russian River 

Valley. 

This is a true “full-immersion” weekend of Pinot Noir, featuring a 

full program of in-depth wine tastings and seminars, vineyard tours 

and sumptuous food. From Friday’s kickoff dinner to Saturday’s intimate 

Pinot Noir seminars and the special “A Taste Of Pinot” dinner all 

the way through Sunday’s “Artisanal Pinot Noir Tasting,” it’s a weekend 

created for people who love Pinot Noir. 

“There are a lot of great wine events held each year, but because of 

their size, none can offer the focused, intimate tasting environment 

we’ve created with Pinot On The River,” said Gregory S. Walter, cofounder/organizer 

of the event and editor of the PinotReport 

newsletter. “The small event size and the opportunity to taste specially 

selected Pinots Noirs equals the ultimate event for Pinot lovers. 

Pinot On The River 2010 begins Friday evening, October 22, with 

“Friday Night Out In The Valley” dinner hosted this year at Roadhouse 

Winery in Healdsburg. Saturday, October 23 features seminars focused 

on the 2009 Vintage of Pinot Noir and A Vintage Retrospective looking 

at older vintages, moderated by Gregory S. Walter, editor of PinotReport. 

The seventh annual festival kicks into high gear Saturday night 

with the “A Taste Of Pinot” dinner event. This year, Pinot on the River 

is partnering with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Sonoma County 

to create the first annual “A Taste Of Pinot” dinner at the Hotel Healdsburg 

in Healdsburg. The event will feature Pinot-inspired tastings of 

unique small bites prepared by Charlie Palmer’s Dry Creek Kitchen 

paired with limited production Pinot Noir from a group of producers 

including Alysian, De Loach Vineyards, Landmark Winery, MacPhail, 

Papapietro Perry, Roadhouse Winery, Rodney Strong Vineyards and 

Small Vines Wines. 

On Sunday, October 24, more than 100 wineries will gather to 

pour some of their best Pinots for the walkaround “Grand Artisanal 

Pinot Noir Tasting at the Rodney Strong Vineyards event center in 

Healdsburg.” The event is open to public as individual tickets are 

available. 

Tickets and information are available at www.pinotfestival.com or 

email info@pinotfestival.com. 

Healdsburg Crush Festival, Oct. 16 

The who’s who of Sonoma County wineries and restaurants will 

gather under one roof for an evening of food and wine tasting in downtown 

Healdsburg. Located just one block east of the Plaza, the Healdsburg 

Crush Festival takes place on Saturday, October 16, from 6 to 9 

p.m. Raffle drawings, silent auction lots, buy-in parties and live music 

round out the evening’s festivities. 

The popular event, now in its seventh year, will showcase more 

than 30 local wineries, featuring many award-winning and boutique 

wines, alongside dozens of outstanding local restaurants and food 

purveyors. Guest winemakers from participating wineries will be available 

for questions and conversation about the 2010 crush season, 

while popular local chefs will be serving their signature dishes. 

The Healdsburg Crush Festival will take place at St. John School 

Parish Activity Center at 217 Fitch St., Healdsburg. Tickets are $65 per

Tasting Room of the Week: 

LOXTON 

CELLARS 

by Abigail P. Zimmerman 

Most winemakers come to making wine after stints in other professions. 

But few have a PhD in Physics before embarking on the cashpoor 

and life-rich pursuits of making wine! Ours is a sensory life, 

driven largely by art but also by science – and Loxton Cellars’ owner 

and winemaker Chris Loxton is in a unique position to be thoroughly 

gifted in both. 

“I seek to make wines of balance; the goal being to have fruit-driven 

wines of complexity and depth of character without being heavy or 

unbalanced,” says winemaker and owner Chris Loxton. “[My] 

approach is deliberately low tech.” 

While his winemaking approach may be “old-school,” his attention 

to vineyard detail is not. Working with individual 

growers to cull the best possible fruit 

from each season, Chris directs his hands-on 

winemaking practices to “extracting, then 

protecting those [vineyard] characteristics 

that make each wine unique” such as gentle 

pressing, limited use of strong oak and not 

filtering or fining. The result is a menu of 

wines both approachable and well structured. 

Tastings are by appointment at Loxton 

Cellars – and a real treat for both seasoned 

and new wine lovers. Set back from the road, 

Loxton Cellars is an intimate winemaking 

facility where visitors can get a true sense on 

not just how wine is made but how it is cared for, cellared, and 

processed from start to finish. 

Joining an already impressive line-up, Loxton Cellars boasts two 

new releases that are ready to enjoy now! 

2007 Chardonnay Reserve, Hawk Hill Vineyards (Russian 

River): Just 4 barrels made – a true “reserve” wine! Using the first 

Chris Loxton 

“free run” juice taken at the lightest pressing and then aged on the lees 

for 20 months in oak, this nuanced wine is a rich partner with creamy 

foods. (Only 97 cases produced; $30 per bottle.) 

2007 Syrah Cuvee Ellen, Sonoma Valley: For those lucky enough 

to be familiar to the Cab-Shiraz red Chris made for his grandfather in 

2005, this Syrah “Cuvee Ellen” is its partner 

and made for his grandmother. Chris made 

this red, spicy, elegant wine for his “Nell” 

using fine grapes grown right outside the 

winery window and blended with wine made 

from three more small, artisan vineyards. 

($25 per bottle.) 

Chris Loxton is no stranger to grape 

growing and winemaking. Raised on a Shiraz 

vineyard in South Australia, Chris made the 

big leap to wine in 1991 when he left academia 

to study at UC Davis. By 1997, he had 

earned co-winemaker at Wellington Vineyards 

garnering attention for his attention to 

craftsmanship and a hands-on approach but left in 2001 to concentrate 

his efforts on his own label, then fledgling Loxton Cellars. Aren’t 

we glad he did! 

Loxton Cellars is located at 11466 Dunbar Road in Glen Ellen, 

open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (707) 

935-7221 or go to the website at www.loxtonwines.com. 



Two for One Ticket Offer Available for Sunday 

Show of Fall Music Festival at B.R. Cohn 

Producer Bruce Cohn announced that special side seating arrangements 

have been made for the Sunday, October 10 concert at a special 

two for one price of $47.50. These tickets can be purchased at 

www.brcohn.com or at the B.R Cohn Winery Tasting Room and are 

on sale now. 

The Sunday line-up includes Eddie Money, Loverboy, Night 

Ranger, Greg Kihn Band, the Turtles and Eyewitness Blues band. 

As this year’s festival falls over the Columbus Day holiday weekend, 

and in deference to tougher than usual economic times, Cohn also 

implemented a special 15% discount on ticket purchases of six or 

more for either day. Special two-day tickets are also available for a 

reduced price of $160. 

“Coming off of our record setting proceeds from last year we can’t 

wait to see what this year will bring,” enthused Bruce Cohn. Over the 

years Cohn has been able to raise over five million dollars for various 

local and national charities including national veteran’s organizations. 

This year the events benefit American Legion Post 489, Sonoma Valley 

Mentoring Alliance, Little Kids Rock, Sonoma Jazz + Music in Education 

and Salvation Army. 

Tickets are $95 in advance. They are on-sale at the winery, 

www.brcohn.com and all Ticketmaster outlets. Special VIP seats at 

$325 with food and beverage service are available through 

www.brcohn.com. The direct concert line is (707) 931-7927 or the 

winery number (707) 938-4064, ext. 127 or 1-800-330-4064, ext. 

126. 

In addition, Cohn’s annual Celebrity Golf Classic will be held at the 

famed Sonoma Golf Club on Monday, October 11th. Tee-off is at 11 

a.m. Back by popular demand, one of America’s top chefs, Bradley 

Ogden, will return as guest chef to prepare this year’s world-class 

dinner paired with B.R. Cohn wines and provide a dinner auction lot 

for bidding. Last year enthusiastic bidders at the auction bid on trips, 

music memorabilia, large format wine bottles and other rare wines 

along with wine dinners including two dinners for twelve at Bruce 

Cohn’s home by culinary greats Thomas Keller and Bradley Ogden. 

The evening raised over $165,000 with a fund-a-need for the San 

Francisco Chapter of the American Legion garnering $61,000. Total 

proceeds from last year were over $400,000. 

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

Glen Ellen. For more concert information, call 1-800-330-4064 ext. 

127 or other information www.brcohn.com.

Sonoma Enoteca, on the historic 

Sonoma Plaza, has always presented wine 

from ten outstanding boutique wineries. 

Now when visitors choose their wines to 

enjoy, they will also be able to pair those 

wines with delicious wine snap cookies 

from Napa Cookie Company. 

Award-winning wine country caterer 

Melissa Teaff has created two types of 

surprisingly sweet and spicy shortbread 

biscuits that are the perfect complement to 

wine, cheese and the good life. 

The white wine cookies are made with 

premium Sauvignon Blanc wine and the red 

wine cookies are made with premium 

Cabernet Sauvignon. Both cookies are 

designed to bring out the very best in the 

wines they are paired with at Sonoma 

Enoteca. The shortbread biscuits are made 

with hints of rich brown sugar and zingy

black pepper. 

Teaff drew on her many years of experience 

working alongside noted vintners to 

launch the Napa Cookie Company. Each of 

her luscious offerings is handmade in small 

batches in Melissa’s kitchen using allnatural, 

preservative-free ingredients. 

Sonoma Enoteca managing partner Fred 

Favero explains, “Melissa has done a great 

job creating these unique wine cookies. 

We’re anxious to share them with our 

guests.” 

For example, the peppery red wine 

cookies are a perfect match for Favero’s 

Sonoma Valley Estate Sangiovese with its 

white pepper notes and rich, ripe fruit. 

In addition to tasting the cookies with 

their wines, visitors will be able to purchase 

the cookies for $7 per box. 

Sonoma Enoteca features more than 

twenty wines from its ten boutique wineries 

on its daily tasting menu. Guests can choose 

to taste any six wines for just $5. The 

wineries represented include Favero Vineyards, 

Seabiscuit Ranch, Brutocao Cellars, 

Manzanita Creek, Compass/Il Cuore, Solitude, 

Dreyer Sonoma, Madrone Ridge, Trios 

Wines from B. Wise Vineyards, Grieve and 

The Rose Group. 

The Mediterranean-style tasting room 

bar is surrounded by fine furnishings, wine 

accessories, olive oils, balsamic vinegars, 

art, glassware, books and Sonoma souvenir 

aprons and t-shirts. 

Located on the southeast corner of 

Sonoma Plaza at 35 East Napa Street and is 

open Wednesday through Monday 11 a.m. 

to 6 p.m. and Tuesday from 2 to 6 p.m. Call

The Country Pumpkinfest in Ukiah blends a harvest and music 

festival into the Halloween holiday. This annual two-day event is held 

each fall in the month of October. Along with a variety of delicious 

foods, the streets of downtown Ukiah are filled with craft vendors, fine 

arts exhibits and “Scarecrow City.” 

Enjoy live music, a country fiddle contest and the ever-popular 

children’s carnival including many games and amusements. Try your 

luck at a pie-eating contest or show off your green thumb by entering 

the great pumpkin weigh-off! 

For more information regarding Pumpkinfest, call the City of 

Ukiah at (707) 463-6231. 

Big pumpkins are exciting! They are fun to look at and they make 

wonderful jack-o-lanterns. Len Stellpflog (well-known in pumpkin 

circles) suggests carved big pumpkins last longer if you stand them on 

the stem end. This is due to the stem end being approximately twice 

the thickness of the opposite end. When the heavier end is up, they 

collapse in about a week, especially if broad areas have been carved 

away. 

Howard Dill of Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada started the strain of 

seeds known as The Atlantic Giant. By 1979 the world was beginning 

to pay attention to these giants and today many of the world’s top 

growers are women. The giant pumpkins ranged from 963 lbs. to 

887.5 lbs.! 

All computer buffs will be happy to know that a pumpkin website 

has been installed on the World Wide Web. To access all the information 

and news about giant pumpkins, go to www.giantpumpkins.com. 

Prizes: 

• First: $1 per pound 

• Second: $300.00 

• Third: $200.00 

• Fourth: $150.00 

• Fifth: $100.00 

• Sixth-Tenth: $80.00 each

array of varietals, including everything from Albarino to Zinfandel. 

The Blue Angels will make a memorable appearance overhead as

18th Annual Lodi School 

Street Wine Stroll, October 15 

The Lodi Chamber of Commerce announces its 18th annual 

School Street Wine Stroll on Friday, October 15, from 6 to 9 p.m. 

More than 26 Lodi wineries will be pouring their wines in shops and 

boutiques throughout downtown Lodi. Local proprietors will be 

providing hors d’oeurves at each tasting stop along with entertainment 

throughout the night. The Lodi region is thrilled to showcase its finest 

in cuisine, wine, activities and hospitality. 

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 known 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. 

Assisting in the “economic recovery,” Lodi hotels are offering 

special discounts for overnight visits. The hotel packages begin at 

$125 which includes two Wine Stroll tickets, hotel for one night 

(double occupancy), transportation to and from hotels and breakfast. 

Tickets for the Wine Stroll are $30 in advance or $40 at the event. 

Designated driver tickets are $10 in advance or $20 at the event. To 

purchase tickets or for additional information, call the Lodi Chamber 

at (209) 367-7840 x 100 or visit www.lodichamber.com.

Historic Vine Hill Winery will be celebrating autumn with its Third 

Annual Fall Wine & Music Festival, to be held at its vineyard and 

winery overlooking beautiful Monterey Bay on Saturday and Sunday, 

October 16 and 17. 

“Fall is such a beautiful time of 

year at the winery, when the vines 

display such a vibrant variety of 

autumn colors and harvest is fully 

underway. With great musicians, 

great wine and a fun and interesting 

gathering of wine-loving 

visitors, our Fall Wine & Music 

Festival has been a great success 

the past two years,” said Lore 

James, marketing director at Vine 

Hill Winery. “This year promises to 

be even better!” 

Along with some of the winery’s 

award-winning Vine Hill and 

Gatos Locos Pinot Noirs, other 

varietals that will be available for 

tasting at the festival will include 

Zinfandel, Syrah and Chardonnay. 

The tasting fee is $10 per person, 

and includes a commemorative 

wine glass. Vine Hill Winery Wine Club members taste for free, and 

can bring up to three guests. Wines will also be available by-the-glass 

for $6 each. 

Vine Hill Winery is a perfect location for enjoying a picnic with a 

spectacular view – so bring a picnic lunch, or enjoy a box lunch from

The Brown Bag Lunch Company. Brown Bag’s delicious lunches 

include a sandwich, salad and dessert for only $8 each. Complimentary 

popcorn, lemonade and Santa Cruz Mountains water will be 

available both afternoons. 

On Saturday, October 16, Vine Hill welcomes back Amee 

Chapman and The Velvet Tumbleweeds 

– an amazing musical artist, 

and her equally amazing band, who 

will perform “Sagebrush Soul and 

Americana” tunes at the upper patio 

for the afternoon. 

Then on Sunday, October 17, 

Duane Campbell and his Just 

Picked String Band returns to the 

winery to perform an excellent 

repertoire of Bluegrass favorites, 

with fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin 

– all the essential ingredients for 

real foot-stomping bluegrass.

MONTEREY/CENTRAL COAST | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK 

Big Sur Food and Wine Festival, November 4-7 

In early 2009, a small group of friends came together with a vision 

to promote Big Sur as a culinary destination and raise funds for the 

community’s three essential services: Health, Education and Safety. In 

its first year, the Big Sur Food and Wine Festival helped raise nearly 

$20,000 for the Big Sur community. 

Come this year at the Highlands Inn, a Hyatt Hotel for a stunning 

new opening evening: Gateway To Big Sur on Thursday, November 

4th. The weekend follows with many more meals and events such as 

the popular Hiking With Stemware at various unique Big Sur properties. 

Also, California’s propensity for producing sublime Pinot Noirs, 

has inspired the Pinot Walk-About at the Restaurant at Ventana on 

Friday afternoon, featuring more than 20 favorite Pinot-producing 

wineries. 

Dinner With Friends on Saturday night at the Restaurant at 

Ventana will feature top wines along with the culinary talents of Chef 

Truman Jones of Ventana, Arturo Moscoso of Peppoli at Pebble Beach, 

Ted Walters of Passionfish, Cy Yontz of the Rio Grill and from the 

Central Coast Wine Classic, Frank Ostini of the famed Hitching Post 

There are two extremely exciting additions to this year’s festival: 

The Gateway to Big Sur – an opening night extravaganza to be held 

at the Highlands Inn in Carmel on Thursday, November 4, from 6 to 

9 p.m. “We’ll have over 20 of our favorite wineries and 10 chefs 

showing off their skills, says festival president Toby Rowland-Jones. 

“There is no better way to throw open the doors to the weekend than 

with our friends and neighbors at the Highlands,” He says. “This is 

one of the loveliest hotels in all of California, and has a great history 

of food and wine celebrations, most notably the Masters of Food and 

Wine.” 

The other important and profound moment will occur when 

OPUS VINO, the largest and most comprehensive wine reference 

guide to date, will be released on the West Coast, Saturday, November 

6th, at the Big Sur Food and Wine Festival. On hand to sign copies, 

will be the Editor-in-Chief, Jim Gordon. Coming in at 800 pages, and 

with information on every single imaginable wine-growing region, 

including 4,500 different varietals, OPUS VINO (November 2010; 

800 pp.; $75 HC) will be the go-to book for anyone even remotely 

interested in wine. Opus Vino is unusual in that it combines elements 

of an encyclopedia and atlas with thousands of individual wine recommendations. 

Tickets for the 2010 Big Sur Food and Wine Festival went on sale 

September 10th and almost immediately sold out one of the unique 

Hiking With Stemware events. There is another on one of the loveliest 

properties in Big Sur, coincidently also where the 2008 Basin Complex 

Fire started, so it has special poignancy. Hardly anyone except the firefighters 

has ever been up there! 

Some of the finest winemakers in California will be present for the 

weekend, including Tim Mondavi, who will present his latest wine, 

Continuum along with an array of wines made for his father Robert as 

well as during the Mondavi’s collaboration with famed Super Tuscan 

house Ornellaia. On hand will be: Randall Grahm of Bonny Doon, 

Paul Draper of Ridge, Jim Clendenen of ABC, Rob Talbott and Dan 

Karlsen of Talbott Vineyards, Gary Pisoni, David Ramey, John Alban, 

Morgan Clendenen, Emmanuel Kimiji of Miura, are just a few of the 

over 60 wineries appearing in some form or another for the four day 

event. 

The Grand Public tasting, featuring 32 wineries and five or six 

chefs from the area, will be held at the stunning, redwood grove of the 

Henry Miller Library. “This particular event is going to be unique, we 

feel,” Rowland-Jones says. “We are adding in local authors who have 

written books about food and wine or about their experiences living 

on the coast. 

For more information on the 2010 Big Sur Food and Wine Festival, 

visit www.bigsurfoodandwine.org or call Toby Rowland-Jones directly 

at (831) 667-0241.

Morgan Winery Supports Pneumonia’s ‘Last Syrah’ 

Morgan Winery has joined forces with the Rhone 

Rangers and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and 

Inoculations (GAVI) in the joint initiative, Pneumonia’s 

“Last Syrah,” which will raise money for 

worldwide pneumonia vaccines. 

Throughout the month of November, a $10 

donation will be made for every case sold of Morgan 

Syrah. Funds will be used to produce vaccines for this illness that 

takes the life of more children than AIDS, measles and malaria 

combined. Why $10? Because that’s the cost of a single life-saving 

pneumonia vaccination. 

Morgan Winery proprietor and winegrower Dan Lee is very enthusiastic 

about this effort. “By partnering with these two groups on this 

project, we have an opportunity to raise awareness and funds for an 

illness that is often overlooked.” 

To help promote the promotion, GAVI is hosted Pneumonia’s “Last 

Syrah,” a wine reception and photography exhibit last month in New 

York City. Rhone Rangers member wineries were present to celebrate 

the campaign kick off by pouring a selection of their Syrahs. 

Founded in 2000, as part of the United Nations Millennium Development 

Goals, the GAVI Alliance, in conjunction 

with Johns Hopkins Hospital and the International 

Vaccine Access Clinic (IVAC) leads international 

efforts to reduce childhood deaths from pneumonia. 

Their mission is to save children’s lives and protect 

people’s health by increasing access to vaccines in 

underdeveloped countries. In 10 years, GAVI has 

vaccinated 257 million children and averted over five million deaths. 

Morgan Winery was established in 1982 by Dan and Donna Lee. 

At Morgan, the focus is on cool climate varietals from the prestigious 

Santa Lucia Highlands appellation in Monterey County. Morgan 

Winery’s flagship Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are organically grown 

on their own “Double L Vineyard” estate in the Santa Lucia Highlands’ 

northern district.
