i n t e l l i g e n c e f o r t h e W i n e c o n S U M e r
by Len Napolitano
How is domestic wine identification
different from imported wine
Besides differences in style between the wines of America
and Europe, the way wine is identified on the label of one
country’s wine versus the other also tells a tale of two wine
cultures.
After centuries of winemaking in Europe, they have established
that specific grapes make the best wine only in certain
regions. These grape-region marriages, and the wine styles associated
with them, have become so well known by the Europeans
and wine lovers everywhere that they simply refer to the
wine by the name of the region and not the grape. The type of
grape used is secondary.
What is obvious to the French may not be so obvious to the
average American, however. Here are a few popular regions in
France and the grapes they use to make their famous wines:
• Red Bordeaux: Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and
blends that include these grapes. Also, Cabernet Franc,
Malbec and Petit Verdot are in the mix.
• White Bordeaux: Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon
• Red Burgundy: Pinot Noir
• White Burgundy: Chardonnay
• Red Rhône: Primarily Syrah and Grenache and blends that
include these grapes.
• White Rhône: Viognier, Rousanne, Marsanne and blends that
include these grapes
In the US, our wine regions are still experimenting, finding
the best grapes to grow in certain areas. Many regions here have
gradually become associated with a single grape because of the
exceptional wines that they consistently produce. Examples are
Oregon for Pinot Noir, Rutherford in Napa Valley for Cabernet
Sauvignon or Carneros for Chardonnay among many other
appellations that have developed fine reputations for certain
types of wines.
In the United States there are no restrictions on what grapes
can be grown in any region, but in France and other European
countries it is unlawful to make wines labeled with the region’s
name from grapes that are not officially approved for that
region. If they do, the wines are reduced in class to a more
basic, less regulated “Table Wine” or “Country Wine” classification.
Italian wines offer both approaches to identifying their
wines. Some popular wines, like Chianti, Valpolicella and
Barolo use the geographic name while wines labeled Prosecco,
Barbera and Pinot Grigio, are named after the grapes used.
In an effort to make it easier for American consumers to
select French wine, more wines from France are being labeled
by grape variety today than in years past.

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.

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
St. Clement Vineyards & Winery
by Charles Neave
I must confess that the Napa Valley’s St. Clement Winery has
always enchanted me. Set on a rise a couple of miles north of the city
limits of the classic Wine Country town of St. Helena, it is a beautiful
property. And the winemaker, the charming and talented Danielle
Cyrot, is further proof that this is no ordinary winery. When asked
what style of music that relates to making wine, she replied, “Good
old rock and roll.” You’ve just got to love it.
After you have visited the winery, you’ll also remember the hike up
from the parking lot to the house, though in reality it’s not really a
tough trek, just a minute or so walking up the hill, but then that knoll
is part of what makes the setting so memorable.
Built in 1878 by Fritz Rosenbaum, a rather wealthy manufacturer
and importer of fine mirrors and glass for the opulent homes of San
Francisco’s “Gilded Age,” the St. Clement house quickly became a
local landmark, and it remains so today. The Rosenbaum family also
made Zinfandel and Riesling in the cellar beneath the house.
Over the years that followed the Rosenbaum era, the estate was
owned by a number of colorful characters, and most continued to
make wine in the cellar. The St. Clement name was born in 1976
when William Casey, a local ophthalmologist, bought the house and
built the 10,000 case (120,000 bottle) stone winery behind it. The St.
Clement name was a tribute to Casey’s ancestors, who were among the
founders of the state of Maryland. In fact, the cross that is part of the
St. Clement logo and label can be found on the Maryland state flag.
Today the winemaker brings with her a long family history of
winemaking, though her family roots are French, not California,
though she is a graduate of the famous University of California at
Davis program that has turned out so many prominent people in
the wine industry. Asked if her approach to making wine is more
French or California, she says, “It’s a little bit of both. I use it all in
my winemaking.” And is she intimidated at all, coming from such
a long and distinguished line of French winemakers “No. I just felt
18
like I was born to do it.”
Today the roster of wine she and her staff carefully craft is extensive,
but well thought out. It includes the tropical, floral and fruitfilled
Sauvignon Blanc Bale Lane, and two Chardonnays using fruit
from the special microclimate and rolling hills that the Carneros
region by San Pablo Bay is famous for.
St. Clement’s greatest depth is in the red wines. They include the
famous Oroppas Napa Valley, a complex, fruit forward bottling; a
subtle, food-friendly Merlot made from grapes from two different
vineyards; a personal favorite, the Syrah Stanly Ranch Carneros; and
an amazing seven Cabernet Sauvignons.
The next step, now that you know all of this, is to head to the
winery’s tasting room, where the options include the Main Tasting
with two whites and three reds at the tasting bar, a Reds Only Tasting
that includes the current release Oroppas, and the exclusive Single
Vineyard Tasting on the Terrace that offers a choice of five limited
production wines. For just ten dollars more you can also add a cheese
or chocolate pairing (four samples of one or the other) to any of the
tastings. Picnic tables are also available and may be reserved by Wine
Club members. Boxed lunches (a gourmet sandwich, chips, cookie
and bottle of water) can be provided given 72-hour notice.
When, at the end of the day, Danielle is asked if she has ever tasted
the perfect wine, her answer comes in two parts: “No, because there
is always something better, from a winemaker’s standpoint. But as a
consumer: yes.” And one can imagine that she glances over at a bottle
of St. Clement and smiles.
The St. Clement Winery tasting room is located on the west side
(the left side if you are headed north toward Calistoga) at 2867 St.
Helena Highway North (Route 29) just north of St. Helena. They are
open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, you can call
them at 1-800-331-8266 go to www.stclement.com. St. Clement is a
small, boutique winery so, for groups of eight or more, phone ahead
to make arrangements. Look for St. Clement on Facebook!

WINERY FEATURE | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Bennett Lane Winery
‘Friendliest Tasting Room in Napa Valley’
by Michelle J. Baker
You don’t have to be a math whiz to figure
out this equation: what do you get when you
add a full slate of highly-rated wines plus
incredible views from both outside and inside
the tasting room to the proudly selfdescribed
“friendliest tasting room staff in
Napa Valley”
Why that would equal Bennett Lane
Winery, located at the top of Napa Valley just
a few easy miles north of downtown Calistoga.
You will need to set aside some time to
visit Bennett Lane, not because it’s out of the
way (because really, it’s not), but because
you’ll have such a darn good time you’ll feel
compelled to stay for a while. And, if you stay
a while, it’s entirely possible that all sorts of
crazy fun could happen, including
impromptu vineyard tours or even a little
wine thieving right out of the barrels.
Of course if you’ve been to Bennett Lane
before, you already knew all that. But you
may not know that Bennett Lane has a lot of
fun new stuff going on, including the gentle
sound of new water fountains, whose lovely
trickling provide an aural frame to the visual
beauty of this winery nestled at the foot of the
occasionally snow-dusted Mount Saint
Helena.
There’s also a brand new sights from the
Bennett Lane tasting room now that the view
of the estate vineyards is no longer obstructed
by hedges that formerly encircled the patio.
So beyond the shining, smiling faces of the
tasting room staff, guests can also see the brilliant
yellow mustard carpeting the vineyard
and punctuated by the neatly pruned vines.
Soon the mustard will fade and the dormant
vines will send out delicate green leaves,
signaling that spring has officially arrived.
With spring this year comes the new
release of Bennett Lane’s first Calistoga appellation
(AVA) bottling, the 2008 Lynch Family
Cabernet Sauvignon ($125). The Lynch
Family Vineyard is a 12-acre parcel situated
on the home property of winery owners
Randy and Lisa Lynch, and is located near the
Calistoga winery at the base of Mount Saint
Helena. The wine is a blend of 92% Cabernet
Sauvignon from clones169 and 4, 3% Merlot,
3% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec.
The Lynch Family Cabernet Sauvignon is
not only the vintners’ first bottling from the
new AVA, but also the first ever vineyarddesignated
Cabernet Sauvignon from Bennett
Lane Winery. “The Calistoga AVA was a longtime
coming, and it is such a joy for us to be
able to taste the fruit of our own vineyard in
the bottle,” says Randy Lynch.
Calistoga received American Viticultural
Area (AVA) approval in 2010 after a six-year
campaign to be recognized as a distinct winegrowing
area. Calistoga, now Napa Valley’s
15th sub-appellation, is one of the longeststanding
winemaking areas on the North
Coast with wine produced here since the
1850s. The location of Calistoga at the
northern end of Napa Valley and at the base
of Mount Saint Helena provides a unique
geological profile with mostly volcanic soil
types ranging from rocky hillside loams to
clay silt near the valley floor. Calistoga also
enjoys warmer overall daytime temperatures
than most of Napa Valley, balanced by cool
evening temperatures.
Bennett Lane’s Lynch Family Vineyard
Cabernet Sauvignon spent 20 months in
French oak, of which 30% was new. This
elegant wine, with just 99 cases available,
opens with notes of raspberry and cassis, with
20 Sign up for our email newsletter at www.WineCountryThisWeek.com

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINERY FEATURE
subtle nuances of baking cocoa,
allspice, anise and rose petals.
On the palate the wine is well
balanced with flavors of bright
red fruit, cranberry, raspberry
and cassis, along with lingering
hints of chocolate and cherry.
For visitors interested in
crafting their own special wine
blend, Bennett Lane offers a
unique hands-on winemaking
adventure called “Varietals, Fruit
& Flavor.” Participants are introduced
to the winemaking process
through a vineyard tour and
discussion of the soil, weather
and landscape conditions
required for growing each grape.
Participants visit Bennett Lane’s
“petting vineyard” to learn about
the vines and foliage of different
varietals.
After the vineyard tour, guests
smell and taste Merlot, Cabernet
Sauvignon and Syrah along with
a variety of aromatics that represent
the essential qualities and
flavor profiles of each varietal.
The aromatics session culminates
with Bennett Lane’s custom
blending experience, where the
novice winemakers are invited to
blend, bottle, cork and label their
own personalized version of
Bennett Lane’s Maximus red
feasting wine. The adventure
ends with a cheese and wine
pairing featuring Bennett Lane’s
current releases sampled on the
winery’s beautiful patio.
Visit Bennett Lane Winery at
3340 Highway 128, approximately
two miles north of Calistoga.
Bennett Lane’s tasting room
is open daily from 10 a.m. to
5:30 p.m. Tours and reservations
for “Varietals, Fruit and Flavor”
may be scheduled in advance by
calling (707) 942-6684, or toll

Winemaker
Chuck Mansfield
Hop Kiln Winery
Lovers of Russian River Valley wine
country, with its intriguing storied past and
top-quality selection of some of the finest
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of the celebrated
region, would be wise to make a bee-line to
Hop Kiln Winery’s historic Tasting Room.
Hop Kiln provides a truly unique and
genuine opportunity to experience winemaker
Chuck Mansfield’s HKG Estate grown,
award-winning wines produced in small
quantities at the winery. You’ll enjoy the best
of their new releases including the HKG Pinot
Noir Bridge Selection 2009 and HKG
Chardonnay Six Barrel Bridge Selection 2009.
Both wines are from their estate vineyards and
are from the blocks of vineyards that Chuck
keeps separate during harvest to select the
perfect barrels for these prized wines. There
are also the Hop Kiln wines to taste including
Thousand Flowers, Sauvignon Blanc, Big
Red, Grenache and Malbec. The winery is
open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (except
major holidays).
The Winery takes its name from California
landmark #893 – a beautifully transformed,
original American Hop Kiln structure dating
back to 1905. Always honoring its past, the
newly remodeled tasting room incorporates
native, heritage elements of wood and metal
materials from this historic ranch. Over 60
locally produced artisan food products are
available for purchase, ranging from wasabi
or sweet garlic mustard, basil and garlic
infused oils, vinegars and vinaigrettes, pine
nut, garlic, anchovy or artichoke heart pesto
and a popular lemon zest and grape seed grill
blend.
Purchased by Westside Grapes in 2004,
the 248-acre ranch had been successfully
turned over to grape farming back in 1975,
some 25 years after hop processing had
ground to a halt. Westside Grapes has taken
its stewardship to amazing levels, realizing its
potential for producing some of the region’s
most exemplary fruit while preserving the
integrity of the property’s history.
A secluded picnic area complete with tranquil
rose garden and duck pond provides the
perfect setting to drink in the glorious views
of the region, while enjoying a light lunch or
afternoon nibble of artisan cheeses, breads
and charcuterie, paired with their wines.
Hop Kiln Winery also invites you to pay a
visit to its hidden treasure HKG Tasting
Room, located in Glen Ellen, open Friday-
Sunday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Hop Kiln Winery and Tasting Room
is located at 6050 Westside Road in Healdsburg.

Mankas
Wooden
Rd Valley
S U I S U N V A L L E Y
by Charles Neave
Though often – too often – overlooked, Suisun Valley is one of the
last of California’s remaining hidden gems, despite the fact that it is
barely a dozen miles from the City of Napa. But for years Suisun has
been known as a trusted and quality stand-in to the star winemakers
of Napa and Sonoma.
Now, with the recent introduction of Frank and Liz Vezér and their
best friends and partners, Sam and Mimi Mizirawi, things are
changing.
To begin with, the Vezer’s bought the 30-acre ranch and vineyard
formerly contracted to the “Sin Zin” people and “Ravenswood.” That
was followed in very short order by their purchase of the entire
Western “Pony Express” village of Mankas Corners, a property with
160 years of colorful history. Then they acquired Suisun Valley’s
Crown Jewel, the Blue Victorian in the very heart of this valley of
rolling hills, farms, pasture and vineyards.
Also a 160-year-old homestead, it has towering century-old date
palms and a gorgeous and, yes, a very blue Victorian manor. All three
locations are working winery sites, with some of the most unique and
hospitable tasting rooms you have ever experienced, stocked with an
array of good wines and staffed by people who are simply glad you
stopped by and who want to share the area’s history, stories and wines
with you.
However, what is the best part about the Vezér Family wineries and
this tranquil valley are their wines. There are the crisp, tropical fruit
whites that even red wine drinker would love, and then there are the
Vezér reds. Reds that are lush, jammy and with a silky smooth finish.
And all their wines pair perfectly with food; in my mind the ultimate
test of any wine.
All of the wines from Vezér and Blue Victorian have won awards,
28
BLUE VICTORIAN WINERY
Exceptional Wines, Over the Top Hospitality
and most of these awards are Best in Class, double gold and gold. “We
are thrilled that we have just won gold at the New York’s International
for their 2006 Cab,” said Frank Vezér. Also, at a blind tasting recently
held at the elegant Bay Leaf Restaurant in Napa, Vezér’s 2006 Cabernet
Sauvignon was unanimously preferred over a famous 97 point Napa
Valley Cabernet.
One cannot write an article on Vezér and Suisun Valley without
mentioning the La Salette, if it is not already known as the world’s
most exquisite Petite Syrah blend, it is certainly known as the world’s
most expensive, where a magnum of La Salette sold to two investors
for $30,000 in a live charity auction. Have no fear though, in the
tasting room a bottle is far more affordable price, though it is indisputably
a wine for those special occasions.
But Vezér is all about hospitality and family, and this is the main
reason why Suisun Valley is being recognized as the “wine hospitality
valley.” The Vezér family warmly invites you to visit all of the
twelve wineries in the valley, and to make it a full weekend destination.
You can even plan a dinner at the Vintage Café, right next
to one of the Vezér tasting rooms, and spend the night in one of the
areas many fine hotels.
For more information on this special part of the Northern California
Wine Country, go to SuisunValleyTheNapaBackroad.com. And
be sure to visit the Vezér website at www.VezerFamilyVineyard.com.

Perfect Pairs BY
ALEXANDRA CHARSLEY
KAIROS CABERNET CAKE
Cake ingredients
• 1 box of devil’s food cake mix
• 1 small box (6 ounce) black cherry gelatin
or (3 ounce) black cherry sugar-free gelatin
• 4 eggs at room temperature
• 1 cup 2007 Judd’s Hill “Kairos” Cabernet Sauvignon
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Wine Glaze Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons room temperature butter
• 1/2 cup Judd’s Hill “Kairos” Cabernet Sauvignon
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Kairos Cabernet Cake paired
with the Judd’s Hill 2007
‘Kairos’ Cabernet Sauvignon
There’s nothing new about pairing a lovely Cabernet with chocolate, but
what if it’s a 100% organically grown Cabernet Sauvignon and if the chocolate
just isn’t a small nibble but a simple but luscious chocolate cake Tasting room
host extraordinaire Jay Brewner of Judd’s Hill Winery says, “I’ve always been
known to think outside the box and this is how my recipe for our Kairos
Cabernet Cake came to fruition while incorporating the newly released 2007
Kairos Cabernet Sauvignon.”
The organically farmed and certified Kairos Vineyard is adjacent to the
winery and in 2001 new vines were planted. “We are pleased to release our
first 100% organically grown Cabernet which is filled with vibrant tones of
cherry, raspberry and a dash of rhubarb on the finish. These aromatics are
enhanced in the baking process and enrich the cake with an artisanal elegance.
The cake is balanced with a cocoa creaminess that is complemented with the
savory Cabernet Vanilla glaze. The wine is baked into the cake as well as incorporated
into the silky glaze that will fulfill your chocolate craving while tantalizing
your palate,” says Jay. This cake is so easy to make but tastes so decadent.
While it looks rich and indulgent, it is not overly sweet and that’s why
the Kairos cake pairs so well with the 2007 Kairos Cabernet Sauvignon. After
all, there’s just something about a great chocolate cake perfectly paired with a
glass of Cabernet to finish any meal.
With only 150 cases of the 2007 Kairos Cabernet Sauvignon produced, this
wine is expected to sell out quickly. It can only be purchased at the winery or
by visiting www.juddshill.com. Judd’s Hill is celebrating it’s 22nd year of
winemaking and is family owned and operated. Their tasting room located in
Napa is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. by appointment only so be sure to
call ahead, (707) 255-2332.
30
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease the Fleur De Lis
Bundt pan with a nonstick cooking spray. Be sure to
grease the grooves of the pan well to prevent the cake
from sticking.
2. In a large mixer, beat the cake mix, gelatin, eggs,
wine and oil on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase the
speed to medium and continue to beat for 1 minute.
Occasionally scrape the bowl to insure all ingredients
are well mixed.
3. Slowly pour the cake batter into Fleur De Lis Bundt
pan. Gently tap the cake filled bundt pan on the
counter to release any air bubbles before baking. Bake
on the middle rack of the oven for 40 minutes.
4. Remove the cake from the oven and set it aside to
cool for 10 minutes. Carefully, use a plastic knife to
loosen the sides of the Bundt pan and invert it onto a
wire cooling rack.
5. While the cake cools, prepare a simple Cabernet
wine glaze. Combine the butter, wine and powdered
sugar in a medium sized pan. Bring all ingredients to a
boil. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon
vanilla extract. Set aside to use for drizzling on individual
slices of cake.
Serving Recommendations
1. Garnish cake lightly with sifted powdered sugar.
Clusters of red grapes (sugared, if you like) may be
used as additional garnishes.
2. Cut and serve individual slices and add the warm
wine glaze after slice is plated and just prior to serving.
Vanilla ice cream makes a nice accompaniment.

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Tasting Room of the Week:
Rutherford Hill
Only Small-Production Wines – Underground!
by Josh Stein
Looking for more than a dozen tasting
room-only classically-styled wines Wanting
to try them in an atmosphere filled with
knowledgeable hosts who, without any
posturing, can address any inquiry you might
make about the Napa Valley, wine styles, wine
regions and wine country life And hoping
for unique memories to keep with you even
after the wonderful wines have been taken
home and enjoyed Then Rutherford Hill is
the tasting room experience for you, and it’s
the unique combination of small-release
winery-only wines, wine education without
pretense, and mile-long cave tour which
makes it our Tasting Room of the Week.
There are lots of things which set Rutherford
Hill apart, and the distinction and array
of wine varietals are most certainly two of
them. The winery was founded forty years
ago by grape growers in order to produce
“Quality as a way of life,” as one of the
winery’s oft-stated phrases puts it best. In
addition to benchmark releases of Cabernet
Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot and Rosé,
coming to the tasting room provides the only
32
opportunity to taste and purchase a wide
range of limited production wines, including
Cabernet Franc, a Rutherford Cabernet
Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Sangiovese,
Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, a Winemaker’s
Blend and a Zinfandel Port. The winery’s
state-of-the-art “winery-within-a-winery”
allows for the production of these limited
releases, letting its winemakers stretch their
legs a bit and use the new ideas and techniques
developed on the winery’s larger
production wines.
Part of the distinction in winemaking
practices is the extent of the cave complex
the winery has built. The cave tour and
tasting show, as well, the degree to which
wine education is integrated into all aspects
of the winery experience for guests. As hosts
guide visitors throughout the cave system,
they receive an understanding of the way its
design is reflected in the finished wines
produced from within it. Enjoy the sights
and taste fantastic wines on this well
explained subterranean journey. As tasting
room manager, Richard Hurwitz said,
“You’ve had a great experience and you’ve
been creatively educated about what we do.”
For those wanting an even more intimate
discussion of and hands-on appreciation of
what goes into producing some of the world’s
finest small-production wines, there is the
wine-blending class, “Blend Your Own
Merlot,” which is led by a winery host and
includes a guided tour of the property, tasting
several wines and discussing the blending
process, and then sitting down in the caves
and creating the blend for the 375mL bottle
of wine you take home with you.
The uniqueness doesn’t end there. After
you’ve toured the winery and learned what
goes into its wine production, Rutherford Hill
offers a final Napa Valley rarity: the ability to
purchase wines and drink them onsite,
enjoying the beautiful view of the Valley floor
from the winery’s Silverado Trail vantage
point. Guests are encouraged to use the picnic
grove after visiting the winery, and there are
plenty of terrific winery-only offerings to
enjoy while there. Come see for yourself what
others have known for forty years – amazing
wines from an amazing perspective!
Visit Rutherford Hill at 200 Rutherford
Hill Road in Rutherford. The tasting room is
open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more
information, call (707) 963-1871 or visit the
website at www.rutherfordhill.com. To stay in
touch, become a fan on Facebook and follow

RAS Galleries
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, RAS Galleries,
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.
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.

found nirvana at this place on the corner.
What oenophiles and knowing gourmet food
lovers (and knowing taco truck aficionados)
might well – and very accurately – define as
the center of their universe.
The tasting room of Cornerstone Cellars is
expansive but intimate, very modern and in
many ways very traditional. Choose your
own descriptors, but when you enter, when
you leave, and after you spend a delightful
time inside sampling away, the words “enjoyable,”
“relaxing” and “time very well spent”
will echo in your mind. Enjoy the art (very
modern), try an olive oil or balsamic vinegar
tasting (very traditional) and try, most of all,
the wine.
Cornerstone Cellars found a cult niche
with their powerful Howell Mountain Cabernets
(right off the Silverado Trail on the east
side of the Napa Valley). They make for big,
ripe, spectacular wines filled with focused
fruit flavors of plum, currant and cherry.
Production is very limited.
Because of the location of the vineyards,
this is some of the latest Cab in the Napa
Valley to ripen and to be picked due to the
lean hillside soils and the elevation of the
vineyards (from 1700 to 2400 feet).The vineyards
yield only a sparse two or so tons an
acre, and while temperatures are moderate,
the daily pattern is Quixotically reversed. So
on a hot day it’s warmer when the day begins,
since the vineyard is above the fog on the
valley floor, and it is then cooler later in the
day. This combines to make the flavors in the
wine more concentrated, and the later
ripening allows greater “hang time.” That is
when the intensity of flavor develops and the
tannins soften.
The tasting room of Cornerstone Cellars is
open every day of the week, from 11 a.m.
until 7 p.m. Being one of the few tasting
rooms open past 6 p.m., it’s a great place to
stop into before your reservation at one of the
many famed Yountville restaurants. It is
located at 6505 Washington Street
(Yountville’s main street) and though they say
they are in Suite 7, trust me, you cannot miss
it. For more information, call (707) 945-0388
or go to www.cornerstonecellars.com. You
will certainly not regret it.

Domaine Tollot-Beaut, which boasts 24 hectares near the center of
Chorey-lès-Beaune, belongs to a select band of Côte d’Or domaines in
France. At the helm of the centuries-old Domaine is Nathalie Tollot,
part of Tollot-Beaut’s fifth generation of winemakers who carries on
the family’s tradition of making fine vintages.
Following supper guests can retreat to the inviting Riddling Rack,
AVIA’s signature wine bar featuring a menu of small plates, local wines
and bubbles. A selection of signature cocktails are shaken and stirred
with agave wine, the same plant that produces tequila, as well as sake
and rice-infused vodka, which results in a smoother, silkier taste and
more flavorful cocktail. Cane rum, sake and additional ingredients are
infused with the chef’s own mixers, created with seasonal and local
ingredients.
Those who want to make an evening of it can spend the night
behind the door of one of AVIA Napa’s luxe rooms or suites with a
special discount of 20-percent off best available rates and a complimentary
upgrade at check-in based on availability – exclusively for
patrons with Second Sunday Supper Club reservations. Each room is
stylishly appointed with roomy beds, plush bathrooms and a stash of
welcomed amenities.
Reservations are now available for the inaugural Second Sunday
Supper Club taking place on Sunday, March 13 from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
and for upcoming Second Sunday Supper Club dinners: April 10 and

SONOMA COUNTY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Annual California’s Artisan Cheese Festival, March 25-27
Saturday night’s “Curds, Cooks & Cuvees” dining event features
local chef’s cheese-inspired dishes paired with top wines and
a dessert station that includes soft-serve sundaes.
The 5th annual California’s Artisan Cheese Festival kicks into high
gear this year with a slew of new Saturday Seminars, hands-on cheesemaking
workshops, chef demonstrations, and the bustling sampling
of new cheeses, foods, wines and brews under the Sunday Marketplace
tent, plus all of the old favorites that keep attendees coming back
for more!
One of our most popular events is Saturday night’s “Curds, Cooks
& Cuvees” roaming feast. This hot ticket event pairs artisan cheesemakers
with top wine country chefs for a perfect culinary collaboration.
To go one step further each incredible dish will be paired with a
top vintner for a night of complete cheese and wine satisfaction.
Festival favorite chef Duskie Estes (Zazu and Bovolo) returns to join
Jeff Mall (Zin Restaurant), Nick Demarest (Harvest Moon), Janine
Falvo (The Lodge at Carneros) and Sheamus Feeley (Farmstead) to
create cheese-centric dishes paired with wines from sponsoring winemakers:
Keller Estate Winery, Handley Cellars, Fortress Vineyards,
Kokomo Winery, Paul Matthew Vineyards and Sonoma Portworks.
There will also be a panini
station that features Laura
Werlin sampling recipes from
her upcoming book, Grilled
Cheese, Please! Laura will be
pairing her delectable bites
with wines from Gloria Ferrer
Winery.
No dining experience
would be complete without a
sweet ending and we will not disappoint. Our dessert station features
artisan chocolates, dessert wines, port, bubbly, and for the first time
ever: a Straus Family Creamery soft-serve sundae bar.
Also ranking high on the most-popular events list in the weekend’s
lineup is Sunday’s Marketplace. Each year we’ve had to expand the
tent to accommodate more attendees and this year is no exception.
More than 65 artisan producers will sample their local hand-crafted
cheeses, delectable accoutrements, boutique wines and artisan-brewed
beers. On tap again this year is the popular Mugnaini wood-fired pizza
oven churning out artisan cheese-topped pies.
Sunday’s Marketplace also features a variety of chef demonstration
including Mary Karlin’s Fresh Cheesemaking from her soon to be
released book, Artisan Cheesemaking at Home and Kristine Kidd
(former food editor of Bon Appetit) showcasing a recipe from her new
book, Weeknight Fresh and Fast. Chef Jacquelyn Buchanan, Culinary
Director of Laura Chenel’s Chèvre, shares secrets of easy recipes with
goat cheese.
The weekend lineup of Saturday Seminars features industry leaders
such as Janet Fletcher, Lassa Skinner, Colette Hatch and Daphne
Zepos. These interactive, taste-driven seminars offer an array of educational
topics such as the foundational “Cheese and Wine Pairing” and
the exploratory “California’s Rare Beauties” to the immensely popular
“Cheese and Beer” and the
effervescent, yet sophisticated
“Bubbles and Brie”.
New this year is an allday
farm-to-table Saturday
Seminar that begins with a
farm tour and finishes up
with a hands-on cheesemaking
class. The Friday
Karen Preuss, Photography
Farm Tours continue to be a
sold-out success of interest to future cheesemakers and inquiring
cheese lovers. “By inviting our festival guests to visit local dairies and
cheesemakers, we further the nonprofit festival’s mission to support
and sustain our state’s daily and agricultural community,” said Lynne
Devereux, executive director of the festival.
The festival closes out with Monday’s Trade Day (for professionals;
invitation only), which features Ruth Reichl sharing her vision of
cheese in retail, restaurants and homes. Ruth will be interviewed by
author, consultant, and cheese expert Clark Wolf.
The full schedule of events is posted on the website and tickets are
now on sale, www.artisancheesefestival.com/index.html. Follow them

Festival/176793496500.

Passport to Dry Creek Valley® – A First Class Journey
Passport to Dry Creek Valley ® is an annual
event, sponsored by the Winegrowers of Dry

and bucolic beauty of Dry Creek Valley.
More than 45 Dry Creek Valley wineries
are rolling out the red carpet for an exclusive
weekend of new wine releases paired with a
bounty of food from top Sonoma County

celebrate the magic of their valley with wine,
food, entertainment and the hospitality for
which Dry Creek Valley is famous. Passport
to Dry Creek Valley ® sells out quickly every
year.
Gateway to Passport – A First Class Experience
An elegant evening at the acclaimed Dry
Creek Kitchen and Hotel Healdsburg,
Gateway to Passport features owners and
winemakers of select Dry Creek Valley
wineries – all family-owned – and celebrity
chef Charlie Palmer. Delicious culinary
delights are paired with small production
Dry Creek Valley wines, all to the sounds of
live jazz music. Cocktail attire.
Theme Parties, Live Music and Sumptuous
Foods Paired with Dry Creek Valley Wines
Oysters, BBQ, sculpture gardens, bocce
ball, tightrope walkers, barrel samples,
newly released wines and old-fashioned fun.
All this and more is part of the lively environment
participating wineries create for
their traveling guests during Passport to Dry
Creek Valley. ® Many wineries offer either live
music or entertainment. In past years, this
has included circus troupes, belly dancers
and safari adventures.
Vineyard Tours
Passport ticket holders are invited to walk
the vineyards and experience winegrowing
in this distinct appellation. The featured
vineyards tours will include tours with
Treborce Vineyards, DaVero Sonoma,
Florence Ranch and Sommer Ranches.
Participating winery locales throughout

Because the number of participants is
limited, Passports are sold on a first-come,

leprechaun, Chef Darby, is a graduate of the Ballymaloe Cookery

with the 2009 Thomas Henry Verdelho; A selection of Irish Farmhouse
Cheeses with Spiced Apple Chutney paired with the 2009
Meadowcroft Chardonnay; and Banoffee Pie, a classic Irish “pudding”
or dessert, drizzled with our Meadowcroft Chocolate Cabernet Sauce
paired with the 2007 Thomas Henry Merlot.
Meadowcroft Wines includes the Meadowcroft, Magito and
Thomas Henry labels. Winemaker Tom Meadowcroft also makes the
wines for the Foyt Family Wines (www.foytfamilywines.com). There
are presently 15 wines being poured at the tasting room including the
recently released 2008 Meadowcroft Sangiovese, the 2008 Meadowcroft
Zinfandel and the 2008 Thomas Henry Cabernet Sauvignon.
The tasting room is part of the Cornerstone Sonoma (www.cornerstonesonoma.com)

SONOMA COUNTY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Tasting Room of the Week:
Sonoma Enoteca
by Brendan Conroy
If one is searching for a wide variety of
wines ranging in both style and complexity,
come to Sonoma Enoteca conveniently
located on the downtown plaza of Sonoma. It
is a collaboration of a total of ten different
wineries sharing the same goal. Each winery
intentionally creates small productions
usually ranging from 500-3000 cases annually
so that they are able to focus exclusively
on making exceptional wine as opposed to
expanding the size of their yields for the
purposes of distribution. The entire facility
embodies a warm, inviting persona which is
only exemplified by the energy of the very
enthusiastic staff. It is a true gem on the
town’s plaza that allows patrons to both taste
and purchase wines that they would rarely be
able to find elsewhere.
One of the figure heads behind this diverse
union of wine and fun is Fred Favero. Being
accustomed to superb Sangiovese in its traditional
Chianti style, Favero could not find a
Californian Sangiovese that he genuinely
enjoyed. Due to this fact, he decided to create
his own. He now produces roughly 500 cases
annually of his own Sangiovese, Cabernet
Sauvignon, as well as a blend of the two in
his personal wine cave. It originally was
supposed to take a full two years to complete
the construction; however with his own team
and own equipment, Favero completed it in
less than three months. He was also named
one of the top 10 winemakers in Sonoma
Valley last year by the Sonoma Sommelier
Wine Review. Don’t miss his ’06 Cabernet
Sauvignon as part of your tasting. With its
very complex structure, lovely middle palate
into its finish, elements of cedar, tobacco,
blackberry and pepper; it is no wonder that
he was awarded such an honor.
Seabiscuit was a famous racehorse during
the mid 1930s. What people typically don’t
know is the fact that the family who owned
the famed equine also grew grapes. Each of
the wines lives up to its famous namesake.
The 2008 Seabiscuit Ranch Chardonnay for
example would be very accessible even to
those who are typically not fans of
Chardonnay. Instead of all butter and oak
which some critics of Chardonnay have
professed, this wine is predominantly fruit
with just a touch of buttered popcorn and oak
on the finish. It is light, but still has a unique
story to tell.
The main trait that sets Sonoma Enoteca
apart from other tasting rooms in the valley is
its enthusiasm for wine. One walks into a
room practically bursting with an extremely
positive energy and leaves with the same
feeling for the rest of the day. If you would
like more information, visit their website at
www.Sonoma-Enoteca.com and enjoy the
sophisticated nuances from each of the 10
distinct and unique wineries.
Sonoma Enoteca is located at 35 East Napa
Street, Sonoma. Call (707) 935-1200.

More than 30 Livermore Valley wineries will offer samples of

Barrel tasting provides wine enthusiasts of all experience levels
with a fun “snapshot” of how wine evolves—from grape to glass.
Guests will have the opportunity to pre-purchase some of the barrel

varietals, including the rare Primitivo and Alicante Bouschet and
ever-popular Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, will be offered
for tasting across the region.
Barrel Tasting Weekend takes place Saturday, March 19 and
Sunday, March 20, from noon to 4:30 p.m. each day at more than 30
participating Livermore Valley wineries located in the East Bay Area
of Northern California (less than one hour from San Francisco)

winery during the event. Price includes a take home glass with the
Livermore Valley Wine Country Logo, two days of barrel tasting at
each participating winery on Saturday and Sunday, special activities
and wine discounts, and a Barrel Tasting Weekend map which
includes all wineries that are participating in the Barrel Tasting
weekend.

Mark Your Calendars: Lodi School Street Wine Stroll, April 15
Ten Life-Size Sculptures by Seward Johnson
will Grace the Streets of Downtown Lodi
The 19th annual School Street Wine Stroll
will be celebrated with the arrival of ten lifesize
bronze sculptures created by internationally
known artist, Seward Johnson. The
sculptures will be placed throughout School
Street in the historic area of downtown Lodi
where the Wine Stroll takes place. More than
25 Lodi wineries will be pouring their wines
in shops and boutiques on Friday, April 15,
from 6 to 9 p.m.
The City of Lodi, through the Arts in
Public Places Funding, is sponsoring the ten
sculptures to be placed on School Street in
downtown Lodi from April 15 to July 15,
2011. Lodi Arts Advisory Board Member
Roger Stafford said, “This is an opportunity
for the Art in Public Places Committee to give
to the City of Lodi an interactive form of art
that will be fun and educational. This art
display also provides an attraction to the
downtown for Lodi residents of all ages and
their out of town visitors.”
The public art exhibit will feature the lifesize
sculptures off world-renowned artist,
Seward Johnson. One of America’s most
beloved sculptors, Johnson recreates life in
our times in vividly realistic bronze. At 80,
Johnson has been sculpting life-like figures
for over 30 years, many of which are nestled
into the landscapes of public parks and
private estates. His sense of humor, and affection
for people, is evident in all of his works
from the little girls reluctantly sharing an icecream
cone, to the tenderness of a mother
reading to her young child. “What I’m trying
to do is draw attention to the simple pleasures,
to show how much fun life is. That is
why there are so many humorous details in
my work.” Johnson captures moments for us.
He holds up a mirror for our reflection, and it
is ultimately one that will make us smile at
ourselves. Details and photos of the complete
collection can be found at www.sewardjohnson.com.
The sculptures are on loan from The
Sculpture Foundation, a charitable and
educational organization dedicated to
providing exhibitions and landmark public
artworks for communities. Director of the
Foundation, Paula Stoeke notes, “The Foundation
is delighted to share these sculptures.
We hope that the community will embrace
the artwork and integrate the event into the
fabric of Lodi, from the classrooms to the
dinner table conversations.”
During the School Street Wine Stroll, Lodi
Appellation wineries will be paired with
merchants for an evening of wine, food, shopping
and entertainment. Guests can taste
award-winning wines, meet the vintners and
enjoy appetizers provided by hosting
merchants. Lodi wineries will share their
special wines and are on hand to discuss their
vintages. Tickets are $30 in advance, $40 at
the event; designated driver tickets are $10 in
advance or $15 at the event. Lodi hotels are
offering special discounts for overnight visits.
For additional information or to purchase
tickets, call (209) 367-7840, ext. 100 or visit

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | MONTEREY/CENTRAL COAST
Explore the Magic of Santa Cruz Mountains
Pinot Noir at the ‘Pinot Paradise’ Festival
Pinot Noir lovers will savor the flavors and explore the magic of the
Santa Cruz Mountains at the seventh Pinot Paradise festival March 26-27
Pinot Noirs from the Santa Cruz Mountains represent the diversity
of micro-climates and dramatic mountain terrain that define the
region. The marine influence and distinctive soils create intensely
concentrated fruit that yields some of the most complex and ageworthy
Pinot Noir in the world. There are six sub-area’s in this winegrowing
appellation- each bearing their own characteristics in their
wine.
Sunday, March 27, from 2 to 5 p.m. the Grand Cruz Tasting at Villa
Ragusa in Old Town Campbell will showcase more than 60 Pinot
Noirs paired with gourmet hors d’oeuvres from some of the region’s
best restaurants. Tickets are $55 in advance, $65 at the door.
Saturday, March 26, Pathway to Pinot Paradise offers a self-guided
tour of the region’s Pinot-producing wineries. Barrel tasting, library
wines and special offerings by participating wineries will be available.
Visitors can enjoy exploring the incredible mountain terrain and
coastal roads as they discover the delightful world of the Santa Cruz
Mountains. Tickets are $25.
Santa Cruz Mountains winegrowers invite Pinot lovers to “Take the
Acid Test” at the 7th annual Pinot Paradise Technical Session on
March 27.
Attendees at this year’s session will discover the many positive
influences of the unique acid components in Santa Cruz Mountains
AVA Pinot Noir. The session will delve into the origins of natural
acidity levels in the fruit and wine and how these contribute to the
age- worthy, food-friendly, legendary Pinot Noirs for which the Santa
Cruz Mountains are known.
Keynote speakers are Dr. Roger Boulton, Professor and Chair of
the Enology Department of Viticulture and Enology Agriculture and
Environmental Sciences, U.C. Davis and co-author of “The Principles
and Practices of Winemaking;” and Greg La Follette, an international
vineyard and winery consultant and currently owner of La Follette
Winery.
Dr. Boulton was named among “the 50 most influential people in
the US Wine Industry” in 2000 by Wines and Vines Magazine. La
Follette is the former winemaker at Flowers Winery, where he developed
wide acclaim as a renowned Pinot Noir producer. He has also
worked with winemaster André Tchelistcheff at Beaulieu Vineyards
and was the consulting designing winemaker for the new U.C. Davis
teaching winery. He will discuss the viticulture of wine and the
management of acidity levels in the vineyard.
The session also includes a panel of four local winemakers who will
share their experiences and offer a tasting of their Santa Cruz Mountains
Pinot Noir. This panel includes: Jeff Emery, Santa Cruz Mountain
Vineyard ; Nathan Kandler, Thomas Fogarty Winery & Vineyards;
Dave Moulton, Burrell School Vineyards & Winery; Jim Schultze,
Windy Oaks Estate Vineyards & Winery; and will be moderated by
Nick Guerrero, Vine Hill Winery.
“We are honored to have these speakers share a small part of their
immense wisdom on the influence and management of naturally
occurring acidity levels in premium Pinot Noir from the Santa Cruz
Mountains,” said Prudy Foxx, chair of the Technical Session.
Special Pinot Paradise V.I.P. Packages will offer a guided “tour” in a
small group format at Villa Ragusa during a private pre-event tasting
at 1 p.m. followed by the Grand Cruz Tasting. Participants will learn
in detail about the Santa Cruz Mountains and the distinct flavor
profiles of each sub-region as they taste and discuss with winemakers
and/or representatives from the wineries. Cost is $75 and includes the
Grand Cruz tasting. Tickets and more information are available from
the SCMWA at (831) 685-8463, the website www.scmwa.com or via
email info@scmwa.com.

MONTEREY/CENTRAL COAST | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Vine Hill Winery Receives Coveted CCOF Organic Certification
by Fred Gillaspy
When vineyard manager,
Rachel Ormes first arrived at Vine
Hill Winery, located in the very
heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains
overlooking Monterey Bay, she
immediately saw the organic
potential that the winery’s property
possessed to contribute to
ecosystem health. So began the
extensive process and dedicated
effort that has now reaped the
prestigious reward of receiving
organic certification for the winery
and its estate vineyards by the
highly regarded agency, California
Certified Organic Farmers
(CCOF).
In her focused organic management
program at Vine Hill, Rachel
integrates a number of non-ecothreatening
practices, including
integration of an intensive covercropping
and green manure
program that increases the fertility
of the soil; a pest program where
insect populations are brought
into balance by providing beneficial
insect habitat in
and around the vineyard;
and use of
compost teas and biofungicides
to help
deal with the everpresent
fungal pressure
that typically
prevails with canopy
management in
coastal vineyards like
those at Vine Hill. She does have
some concerns about some
people’s perceptions of organic
winemaking. “Some wine drinkers
associate organic wine with being
bad wine . . . and this simply isn’t
true. Most folks aren’t aware of the
fact that the only difference
between ‘organic wine’ and ‘wines
made from organic grapes’ is the
addition of sulfur
dioxide as a preservative.
Without the addition
of sulfur dioxide,
wine readily oxidizes
and this is what makes
wines go “bad.”
Rachel also feels
strongly about the
significance of organic
farming practices and
how some consumers perceive the
concept of organic farming in
general. “There are a number of
62 Follow us on Twitter @WineCountryTW
misconceptions about the differences
between organic, sustainable,
biodynamic and conventional
farming practices. I think it’s
important for the organic
consumer to understand that
there is sustainable farming – and
then there is organic farming –
and they are not always the same
thing,” she points out.
What does this all mean to wine
drinkers The 2010 vintage of Vine
Hill’s Pinot Noir and Syrah will be
their first estate wines labeled
“made from organic grapes.” And
aside from being a powerful
acknowledgement of Vine Hill’s
commitment to the practice of
organic farming and its dedication
to ecological stewardship, as well as
an increasing awareness and acceptance
of the benefits of organically
grown products, it’s also an assurance
that the wine is made under
the highest level of quality standards.
And that means that there’s
something very special to look
forward to from Vine Hill when the
winery’s first releases of organically
grown estate Pinot Noir and Syrah
are released in late 2012!
RACHEL ORMES
Vine Hill Winery is located in
the Santa Cruz Mountains at 2300
Jarvis Road, Santa Cruz. The
tasting room is open to the public
on the third weekend of each
month from noon to 5pm and for
special events and selected holidays.
Tastings, winery and vineyard
tours by appointment for
groups of 10 or more are also available.

directions, visit vinehillwinery.com
