WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINE COUNTRY NEWS 

Wine Garage – Wine Shop ... or Winery 

Most readers have learned over 

the years that some of the best 

wine-deals in Napa Valley can be 

found at the Wine Garage in 

Calistoga. When Todd and Joy 

Miller moved to Napa Valley in 

2001, they were surprised to find 

that they could hardly find any 

wines for less than $45 a bottle. 

Then they went to a dinner party 

at a winemaker’s home, and were 

shocked to discover that many 

winemakers couldn’t afford to 

drink the wines they made. That’s 

when the Millers decided to open 

the first wine shop in Napa Valley 

that only carried wines under $25 

a bottle. 

So in 2003, Todd Miller 

swapped his corporate necktie for 

jeans and boots and started 

scouring Northern California for 

great, undiscovered wines to offer 

at his new wine shop, the Wine 

Garage in Calistoga. Miller drove the roads less traveled, meeting with 

winemakers, walking in their vineyards and tasting their grapes, 

barrel samples and finished wines. The winemakers, tickled to have a 

real, live wine buyer at their winery, shared stories with Miller over a 

glass of wine at the dinner table. 

The Miller’s started a wine club three years ago shipping six bottle 

shipments for $100. Well, the club was so successful that last year 

even Rachael Ray heard about it and featured the Wine Garage on her 

Tasty Travels show on the wine country. 

Way back in 2003, when Todd was getting permits for the store he 

had a vision of selling wine right from the barrel in half gallon jugs 

just like they do in France and Italy. To do that he needed an out right 

winery license and permit. He got them – much to the shock of the 

local winery folks because that kind of thinking was unheard of in 

Napa. You can’t be a “winery” and a “wine shop” at the same time in 

the same place. No. Well actually yes, you can … under the right 

circumstances. The jug program was originally delayed due to the 

success of the wine club but Todd did hire a winemaker and set off 

trying to find deals on grapes just like he had on case goods. He drove 

around after harvest and wrote down what vineyards still had fruit on 

the vine that was unsold. He sought help from his many winemaker 

and vineyard manager friends. He found deals. He and his winemaker, 

Massimo Monticelli – a former assistant winemaker at Silver 

Oak – made some wine. Good wine. 

Todd found some Cabernet grapes up on Diamond Mountain back 

in 2006 from a grower that was nervous about a rain storm coming in 

right during the peak of harvest. He cut a deal. Then he made another 

deal on some Zinfandel and then later on some Syrah. After 18 

MASSIVE WINE SALE 

Get a mixed case 

from store at 20% off, 

or case of Wine Garage 

labeled wine for 30% off 

during month of February 

months in barrel the wine is ready. Go 

taste it for yourself, for free. 

The Cabernet from the Diamond 

Mountain section of Napa gets very 

expensive – up to $275 per bottle from 

one winery – but the vineyard Todd 

found was across the road from the 

boundary of the Diamond Mountain 

AVA and sold for less money because 

you couldn’t put “Diamond Mountain” 

on the label. The Wine Garage “Hillside” 

Cab sells for $45. It is yummy, 

too. Big and rich, dark in the glass, 

smooth tannins, ripe fruit, chocolate 

covered coffee beans comes to mind. 

The Zin and Syrah are equally good and 

sell for less than the Cab, $30 and $25, 

respectfully. 

The Joy Ride is a white blend of 

Albarino, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier 

and Muscat Canelli. The wine was 

fermented completely dry in stainless 

steel tanks without malolactic fermentation. 

The nose is extremely fragrant 

with white peach, apricot, meyer lemon and jasmine. The body is full 

with generous weight on the mid palate and a rich, silky mouthfeel. 

There is surprising acidity on the clean and crisp finish. This is a 

perfect wine for a wide variety of foods which include sushi, cracked 

crab, lemon chicken and many cheeses. 

Fill ’er up with wine “pumped” into the half-gallon jugs from the 

specially designed gas station nozzles. Two different Wine Garage 

blends are offered and filled to order, one Bordeaux based (read: Cab) 

and one Rhone (Syrah) and are selling for $29.99 per half gallon jug 

that you fill yourself. 

Visit Wine Garage at 1020 Foothill Blvd. (Highway 29) in Calistoga; 

open every day from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. For more information, 

call (707) 942-5332 or visit the website at www.winegarage.net.

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK 

The Candlelight Inn 

by Charles Neave 

18 

For almost six years I lived right around 

the corner from Napa’s Candlelight Inn. 

When I’d go out for a walk, I couldn’t help 

but look down the small lane it occupies, and 

it always enchanted me. Part fairy tale, part 

hidden retreat, it cast a mystical spell. It was 

like a childhood fantasy, a storybook illusion. 

Then one day I walked to the end of the lane, 

knocked on the door, and asked if I could 

look inside. What followed was a tour, an invitation to come back 

anytime, and a continuation of that enchantment. 

In 1929 when Napa’s postmaster built this Tudor-style mansion I’m 

sure he had no idea what the Valley would one day become. No one 

did. But with its whitewashed plaster, dark oak timbers and manicured 

grounds, the inn is now a splendid retreat for visitors to wine 

country. 

Perhaps a 15 minute walk from downtown Napa, this ten room 

bed and breakfast sits among towering trees – including some majestic 

redwoods – and backs onto quiet Napa Creek. To one side is a fenced 

pasture. Yet the location is still close to restaurants (more of them 

opening everyday it seems), shopping and wineries, including a 

number of popular winery tasting rooms. 

The rooms at the inn are all unique. Some have balconies overlooking 

the pool, others have decks. Some even have fireplaces and 

two person in-room Jacuzzi tubs. 

Happily, the inn’s breakfasts are famous as well. They are both 

casual and gourmet, and fit the overall ambiance of the property beautifully 

and are served in the English countryinspired 

dining room. A different menu is 

carefully prepared and served each day by the 

inn’s chef, and there is always an assortment of 

tea, freshly brewed coffee, fresh juice and 

seasonal fruit. Tables for two provide the 

option for privacy, or if you’d like, converse 

with fellow guests as you look out onto the 

grounds abutting the creek where the pool is 

located. Except or the sounds of birds and the 

rustle of leaves in the trees, it is serenity 

personified. And by the way, if you are particularly enamored by one 

or more of the dishes and would like the recipe, just ask. It’s another 

souvenir to take home 

In the warm months, of which there are an envious number, the 

pool is a popular meeting place for visitors, many of whom return on 

a regular basis. In cooler months the parlor becomes the focal point. 

Local and national newspapers are spread out on the dining room 

table and an assortment of snacks appear each afternoon. Some days 

local wineries such as Robert Biale and many others may come and 

pour their wines for a complimentary late-afternoon tasting. It is also 

a great way to catch up on local news and local insight, something also 

provided by the inn’s owners and always-helpful staff. Just one of so 

many reasons to put this stellar property at the top of your agenda. 

The Candlelight Inn is located at 1045 Easum Drive just a minutes 

drive west of the intersection of Route 29 and First Street. For reservations 

and information call our 1-800-624-0395 or within the (707) at 

257-3717. Also, reservations may be made at www.candlelightinn.com 

and be sure to follow them on www.facebook.com/thecandlelightinn.

The purpose of blending is to create a more interesting wine. A 

winemaker may feel that the addition of wine made from another 

grape will either fill in any weaknesses of the primary grape or create 

a more complex wine, and consequently, a more pleasing wine to 

drink. 

Perhaps the most famous blended red wine in the world is 

Bordeaux, from France. It is a blend of two to five grapes, the dominant 

ones being Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The other grapes 

that make up a red Bordeaux wine are Petit Verdot (contributes color), 

Cabernet Franc (contributes tannic structure and richness of flavor), 

and Malbec (contributes flavor). 

Merlot is often used to blend with Cabernet Sauvignon to help 

soften, or round out, the Cabernet Sauvignon, which can sometimes 

contain firmer tannins. Syrah with Cabernet Sauvignon is also a 

popular duo having complementary 

characteristics. The percentage breakdown 

of the components that make up a blend are sometimes indicated 

on a label, but it is not required to do so for American wines. In 

Australia, however, where the Cabernet/Syrah combo is frequently 

found, label laws must show the percentages of each grape that make 

up a blend. 

Grapes that are used for blending purposes are chosen to either add 

flavor, mouthfeel, acidity, finish or aging potential. It is also possible 

for white wines to be made from a blend of grapes, such as Sauvignon 

Blanc combined with Semillion, but white wine blends are usually less 

common than red blends. 

When producers in the United States make a blended wine using 

the same grapes that are used to make Bordeaux wine, they are 

permitted to identify these wines as “Meritage” style wines (rhymes 

with heritage). This is a unique, American term that may only be used 

on a wine label when the wine is blended from the Bordeaux grapes 

mentioned above. If a non-Bordeaux grape, such as Zinfandel, is part 

of the blend, it is technically not a “Meritage” style wine. 

I find Meritage style wines to be among the very best of California 

red wines. They are elegant, layered with complex aromas and flavors 

and pair beautifully with many meat dishes.

Gloria Ferrer Pinot Noir Pairs Well with Valentine’s Day 

Take the Fickleness Out of Love with Romantic Pinot Noir-Themed Gift Ideas 

Love can be fickle, so can Pinot Noir. In both cases, tender loving 

care, respect and attention to detail go a long way in growing it into 

something truly beautiful. So this Valentine’s Day, Gloria Ferrer is 

offering Pinot Noir themed pairings both men and women can use to 

celebrate their love. 

For Her: 

• Women try to do it all, so a gift that is totally about pure luxury and 

relaxation will let her know she deserves to be pampered. Put 

together a custom made gift basket 

containing a bottle of Gloria Ferrer 

Brut Rosé, rose scented body butter 

and bath salts and chocolate 

covered strawberries, for a purely 

indulgent night she won’t forget. 

• A night out on the town is always a 

treat, so tell her to get dressed up 

and be prepared to kick up her 

heels. Begin the evening at home with a glass of Gloria Ferrer VA de 

VI and a platter of exotic cheeses and crackers. Spoil her further 

with a limousine stocked with Gloria Ferrer Royal Cuvée, then hit 

the best club in town for a night of dancing. 

• Or for a more romantic night, celebrate at Gloria Ferrer’s special 

Valentine’s Day Concert on Saturday, February 12 at 7:30 p.m., 

featuring Flamenco guitarist Eric Symons and special guest Patrick 

Imbimbo. Enjoy the sensual sounds of Flamenco while enjoying a 

decadent Dessert Buffet and two glasses of award-winning sparkling 

wine. Price is $35 per person, $29.75 for wine club members. 

For Him: 

• They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. That 

means cooking him a great meal paired with the perfect wine. Start 

off with stuffed mushrooms and a bottle of Gloria Ferrer Carneros 

Pinot Noir to really set the mood. Follow that with braised short 

ribs, risotto, salad and a bottle of Gloria Ferrer José S. Ferrer Pinot 

Noir, and the night is complete. 

• Or if he enjoys sharing his wine knowledge with his friends, help 

him show off a little with a sophisticated wine decanter, stainless 

steel wine stoppers and a bottle of Gloria Ferrer 2005 Rust Rock 

Pinot Noir. 

Here’s to making Valentine’s Day 2011 a special one, and if a 

marriage proposal is being planned, be sure to have a chilled bottle of 

Gloria Ferrer Carneros Cuvée on hand to toast the happy news! 

Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards 

The Ferrer family of Spain established Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards 

as the first sparkling wine house in the Carneros region 25 years 

ago. In creating exceptional sparkling and still wines, blended to pair 

perfectly with a diverse array of food, Gloria Ferrer embodies Spanish 

winegrowing history, time-honored tradition and centuries-old

Welcome to 

S U I S U N V A L L E Y 

Suisun Valley – Hidden But Treasured Wine Country 

by Charles Neave 

28 

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, 

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.

An Evening of Magic, 

Mystery & Wine 

Benefits Aldea Children and Family Services 


Saturday, February 5th, 7:00 p.m. 

Tasting Room of the Week: 


Discreetly tucked to the side of famed 

Silverado Trail, acclaimed and local’s favorite 

Judd’s Hill Winery feels like a secret discovery. 

Judd’s Hill is a family-owned, cheerful, ecoconscious, 

critically acclaimed, artsy smash 

hit... with the added bonus of chickens 

clucking outside the vines! 

Beginning as garage winemakers, 

pioneering vintners Art and Bunnie Finkelstein 

started producing legendary wines in 

the Napa Valley in the 1970s. Now their son 

Judd and his wife Holly continue to produce 

ultra-premium wines with the same heartfelt 

and intimate style that has been the Judd’s 

Hill signature for more than 30 years. In addition 

to their own highly acclaimed wine 

brand, Judd’s Hill is the leader in 

offering opportunities for wine enthusiasts 

to experience winemaking. From Bottle- 

Blending Day Camp where you can create 

your own wine in quantities as small as 

three bottles, to MicroCrush where 

you can create your own wine in quantities as 

small as one barrel, an intimate, authentic, 

fulfilling experience is available to all. 

30 

The tasting room offers a unique and very 

personal touch that is quite different from the 

typical tasting room atmosphere. Pat Burke, 

the Hospitality Manager welcomes everyone 

to the winery with a smile and a taste of an 

exclusive “winery only” wine and, if you are 

interested, a short production tour of the 

winery. Pat, will take you through a sampling 

of current releases along with a selection of 

limited edition wines which are only available 

at the winery or through our wine club. So, 

prior to your next visit, call the winery to 

schedule an appointment to enjoy the very 

intimate tasting experience. Just call (707) 

255-2332. 

On Saturday, February 5 at 7 p.m., Judd’s 

Hill Winery presents An Evening of Magic, 

Mystery & Wine, featuring the amazing 

magic of Rob Zabrecky. In addition to the 

spell-binding magical feats of Zabrecky, 

guests will enjoy food from Mustards Grill 

paired with wine from Judd’s Hill, and delicious 

sweet treats to accompany the show. 

Proceeds of An Evening of Magic, Mystery 

and Wine will benefit Aldea Children and 

Family Services. Judd’s Hill is located at 2332 

Silverado Trail (One mile north of Trancas 

St.), in Napa. 

“I’ve always been a big fan of magic, and 

have even dabbled in it myself, but nothing 

like the amazing skill of Rob Zabrecky,” said 

Judd Finkelstein of Judd’s Hill Winery. “When 

I connected with Rob and he graciously agreed 

to appear in Napa for this benefit for Aldea, I 

was beyond thrilled,” Finkelstein added. 

This exclusive appearance by Rob Zabrecky 

is limited to 48 guests, and is sure to sell-out. 

Tickets for An Evening of Magic, Mystery & 

Wine are $50 per person (tax deductible) and 

can be purchased at www.aldeainc.com. For 

more information about Aldea Children 

and Family Services, visit www.aldeainc.com 

or call (707) 224-8266. There’s simply no 

other magician like Rob Zabrecky, best 

known for pushing systematic absurdity into 

the realm of sublime consciousness though 

his aberrant character. His unique combination 

of mentalism, magic, off-beat humor and 

remarkable timing create a sum larger than it’s 

respective parts, but like any great entertainer, 

you have to see him to believe him. Visit the 

website at www.robzabrecky.com.

Come, taste several vintages of Old Vines, Petite Sirah and meet the 

new staff at David Fulton Winery on Fridays, Saturdays or Mondays. 

(Other days with appointment: 707-967-0719) 

David Fulton Winery is a very small, family-owned winery 

producing Petite Sirah from their historic, St. Helena estate vineyards 

planted in 1860. Founder David Fulton also built the town’s first stone 

wine cellar next to it just one year later in 1861. This dry farmed 

stand is the oldest known, continuously family owned and operated 

vineyard in the state. 

Currently, the vineyards and winery are owned by David Fulton’s 

great-grandson, Fulton Mather and his wife, Dink. The David Fulton 

family of friends still pick and sort the grapes by hand before fermentation 

and age the wine for three years in thin-staved French oak 

barrels in the same location as the first cellar had been dug. The 

resulting wine is highly acclaimed among their peers and a favorite 

referral among Petite Sirah fans. Total production is less than 350 

cases! 

Happy to pour the wine for you is Richard Mather, fifth generation 

Fulton family and Stephanie Trotter Zacharia, the new Director of 

Winemaking and Sales. Stephanie comes to David Fulton Winery after 

a ten-year engagement at Casa Nuestra Winery, also in St Helena. “The 

Petite Sirah being produced at David Fulton is the best I’ve ever had. 

Richard and I are looking forward to the opportunity to pour it for 

folks right here inside the winery. We bet they’ll agree!” says, Stephanie 

Trotter Zacharia. “Currently we’re offering tastes of 2006 Our Sweet 

Petite (our port-style wine, less than 40 cases produced) and 2006 

Heritage 1860 (our Bordeaux blend, less than 22 cases produced) 

along with a couple of vintages of our signature Old Vines, Petite 

Sirah.“ 

David Fulton Winery & Vineyards is located at 825 Fulton Lane, 


Something Old, Someone New at David Fulton Winery 

just four blocks east of Highway 29, 

in Napa Valley’s historic downtown 

St. Helena. Visitors are now invited 

to the winery on Mondays and 

Fridays and most Saturdays from 

11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for tasting. Other 

times for tasting are available by 

appointment. They don’t have any 

commercial signage, so seek out 

their address (825 Fulton Lane) to 

enjoy the winery’s private setting! 

Picnic tables may be available and 

friendly canines are also welcome.

RAS Galleries – Even owner Ronda Schaer could not have envisioned that her 

affection for the little village of Yountville would someday blossom into a fullblown 

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)

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | NAPA VALLEY 

On February 5th, Silver Oak will be releasing the 2006 Napa Valley 

Cabernet Sauvignon, its newest vintage. Celebrations will occur at 

both the Oakville Estate as well as the Geyserville Estate, where guests 

will be able to get a first-taste of the newly released vintage, yet to hit 

the market. The 2006 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a complex 

and refined wine that develops beautifully in the glass to reveal multilayered 

nuances of aromas. 

In addition to wine tastings, there will also be tastings from top 

local chefs, including Ken Frank of The Westin Verasa and La Toque 

Restaurant, Steven Barber of Fish Story, Donna Scala of Bistro Don 

Giovanni, Nash Cognetti of Tra Vigne and Joe Ray of Barbers Q and 

Ken Frank. Live entertainment will include a performance from the 

band “Ever” from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Oakville location. 

Both events begin at 9 a.m. and will end at 3:30 pm. Tickets will 

be pre-sold online (https://secure.silveroak.com/common/order 

form.aspl=CL) for $40 which will include a complimentary Silver 

Oak wine glass, food tickets and wine tasting. Tickets can also be 

purchased the day-of for $50. 

Silver Oak’s Release Day gives customers a chance to not only celebrate 

great wine but also experience time with the Duncan family, who 

opened Silver Oak Cellars in 1972. 

For tickets and for more information, visit www.silveroak.com. 

Silver Oak Cellars was co-founded in 1972 by Raymond Duncan 

and Justin Meyer. Dedicated exclusively to producing Cabernet Sauvignon 

that is aged and drinkable upon release, the winery makes two 

wines at two separate facilities: Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon at its 

winery in Oakville and Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon at the 

winery in Geyserville, Sonoma County. Today, Silver Oak Cellars is 

run by founder Raymond Duncan’s two sons, David and Tim Duncan, 

who adhere to the principle of continuous improvement and the high 

standards of quality that Justin and Ray established so many years 

ago.

gem at the heart of historic Yountville in 

Napa Valley. 

V Marketplace is a unique collection of 

contemporary shops, superb galleries and, of 

course, world-class wine boutiques that even 

the most traveled-of-tourists and local-of-locals 

will enjoy. Set in the old Groezinger Winery, 

(circa 1870 and listed on the United States 

Registry of Historic Places), it has been restored 

so that the time-worn bricks, cobblestones and 

exposed wood architecture of one of Napa’s 

oldest wineries stylishly houses some of the 

best places to find Napa Valley winemakers, 

artisans, designers and chefs. 

V Marketplace is open seven days a week, 

10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (except restaurants and 

winebars) and is located at 6525 Washington

Welcome to 

C A L I S T O G A 

Venture Off the Beaten Path to SoBennett Lane Winery 

for a Taste of Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon 

Cabernet Lovers will race to Bennett Lane for a 

Sneak Peek of the 2008 Vintage – February 5th and 6th 

The first weekend in February is all about Cabernet 

in the valley as wineries up and down Highway 29 and 

the Silverado Trail release their luscious Napa Cabernets. 

One of our favorite stops every year is Bennett 

Lane Winery in Calistoga, known for its succulent 

Cabernets, their signature “feasting wine,” Maximus, 

and for one of the finest visitor experiences in the 

valley. Founded by Randy and Lisa Lynch in 2003, 

Bennett Lane’s off-the-beaten track location and 

friendly tasting room offers visitors to Napa a “secret 

gem” and a great way to learn about – and try – some 

of Napa’s best wines in a more intimate setting. On 

February 5th and 6th, Bennett Lane’s 2008 Napa 

Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($55), 2008 Reserve 

Cabernet Sauvignon ($95) and 2008 Lynch Family 

Vineyard Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon ($120) will be released and 

poured for visitors at the tasting room – a special opportunity to get a 

sneak peek and taste the wines before they are released to the public 

later this year. 

Bennett Lane’s Cabs have continuously garnered critical acclaim. 

Just last year, the 2006 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve and 

the Napa Valley Syrah were awarded 92 points by the Wine Spectator. 

The Cabernet recently received a top score of 94 by wine critic Robert 

Whitley, adding “The Bennett Lane Cabs have always impressed…” 

Additionally, Bennett Lane’s Maximus is widely recognized as one of

Napa Valley’s top-value Cabernet blends. Year after year 

the popular blend of Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah has 

received 90 points or above from the critics. The “red 

feasting wine,” as Maximus is affectionately referred to 

on the label, demonstrates owners Randy and Lisa 

Lynch’s commitment to making wine an integral part of 

entertaining with family and friends. 

This release event marks a very special occasion for 

Bennett Lane Winery with their first-ever release of 

their Lynch Family Vineyard Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon. 

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 Mt. St. Helena. This wine marks both the 

first single vineyard Cabernet bottling for the winery in 

addition to being their first wine bottled under the new 

Calistoga AVA. “The Calistoga AVA was a long-time 

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 

2009 after a six-year campaign to be rightfully recognized as a distinct 

wine-growing area. The position of Calistoga at the northern end of 

Napa Valley at the base of Mt. St. Helena has the unique characteristic 

of mostly volcanic soil types ranging from rocky hillside loams to clay 

silt near the valley floor, and warmer overall daytime temperatures 

than most of Napa Valley, balanced with cool evening temperatures. 

Bennett Lane’s wines are crafted to be approachable, yet complex – 

or what Owner Randy Lynch calls “the best of both worlds, meaning 

you can drink them today, but they are structured enough to cellar for 

several years. My goal is for us to make consistent wines – both in 

quality and taste – from year to year, so that consumers can trust 

Bennett Lane wines,” he says. 

The tasting flight at Bennett Lane is $10 and includes four of 

Bennett Lane’s wines, the Cabernet, Reserve Chardonnay, Maximus 

and Merlot. Put Bennett Lane on your short-list of must-visit tasting 

rooms as the production is small and the Cabernets sell out quickly. 

Visiting Bennett Lane affords tasters another rarity with a small winery 


WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | CALISTOGA 

– a likely run-in (and perhaps a last minute barrel tasting if you’re 

lucky!) with owner Randy Lynch. 

Bennett Lane Winery is located in an understated Mediterraneanstyle 

building at the secluded and beautiful northern end of the Napa 

Valley, and is considered well worth the drive. Located at 3340 

Highway 128, approximately two miles north of Calistoga, Bennett 

Lane Winery’s tasting room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 

For more information about Bennett Lane Winery, go to 

www.bennettlane.com or call (707) 942-6684, or toll free at 1-877-

Chef Charlie Palmer’s Pigs & Pinot Epicurean Benefit 

Featuring culinary stars and wine experts from across the country 

On Friday and Saturday, March 18 and 19, Chef Charlie Palmer 

will once again bring together culinary and wine elites from around 

the country to participate in the sixth annual Pigs & Pinot weekend 

(www.pigsandpinot.com). Held at the award-winning Hotel Healdsburg, 

located in tranquil Healdsburg where three of California’s most 

important wine producing regions unite – Dry Creek, Russian River 

and Alexander Valley – this celebration has become a tradition 

amongst pork and wine enthusiasts who are eager to experience the 

creations of more than 60 wineries and 10 chefs who showcase their 

talents each year. 

The 2011 Pigs & Pinot event will feature an exciting line-up of 

food and wine seminars, tastings and cook-offs, and all proceeds will 

benefit Share Our Strength ® and local Healdsburg education, 

including The Healdsburg Education Foundation, St. John School 

and The Healdsburg School. 

And, to continue the support of the local community, Chef 

Palmer is once again raising two suckling pigs which he has personally 

selected and is nurturing in the gardens of Quivira Vineyards, a 

Biodynamic ® vineyard, closely cared for by Quivira’s head gardener 

Andrew Beedy. The pigs are fed Dry Creek Kitchen vegetable trimmings 

as well as spent grain and barley from nearby Bear Republic 

Brewing Company and finished in the European style, with an acorn 

diet to produce a richer marbling and slightly sweet fat. The meat 

will be served as part of the chef’s pairing course during the Pigs & 

Pinot gala dinner. 

THE 2010 PIGS & PINOT WEEKEND LINE-UP 

Friday, March 19 

• Taste of Pigs & Pinot – 12pm 

To kick off the weekend fun, guests are invited to experience 60 

highly-acclaimed Pinot Noir wines, all contenders in the Pinot Cup 

competition. These hand-picked Pinot Noirs, hailing from California 

and beyond, face a distinguished judging panel in a blind tasting. 

This year’s panel is made up of top wine media personalities such as 

Dan Berger, national wine columnist and Leslie Sbrocco, epicurean 

author and television host. The winner and runner up of the prestigious 

Pinot Cup will be revealed at the end of the night. 

Wine tastings are served alongside a selection of pork dishes 

created by Chef Palmer and Dry Creek Kitchen Chef de Cuisine 

Dustin Valette, guest chefs, and many local Healdsburg restaurants 

including Cyrus, Zin, Barndiva and Healdsburg Charcuterie & Café. 

Saturday, March 20 

• Tournament of the Pig – 10:30am-12:30pm 

Charlie Palmer and three of his guest chefs will be divided into 

two talent-packed teams. These teams will be given three different 

pork products which they will use to craft three creative dishes, 

along with ingredients they can find at Dry Creek Kitchen. The 

winning team will be determined by a panel of prestigious porkloving 

judges. Of course the audience will be supplied with tastings 

too. 

• Ultimate Pinot Smack Down – 1-3pm 

Time for wine experts to steal the show and demonstrate their 

Pinot persuasion skills. Join Master Sommeliers Keith Goldston, 

Fred Dame, Drew Hendricks, and Aureole Las Vegas Wine Director 

William Sherer for this exciting march-madness inspired wine 

seminar. Each Master Sommelier enters the room with his personal 

selection of four Pinot Noirs from around the world and proceeds to 

“sell” his favorites in this lively head-to-head pitch contest including 

blind tastings where the audience chooses the winner. 

• Pigs & Pinot Gala – 7pm 

Saturday evening’s elegant Pigs & Pinot Gala features a delectable 

five-course dinner at Hotel Healdsburg’s Dry Creek Kitchen. As a 

collaborative offering, each course features a signature creation from 

Palmer and his guest chefs including “Top Chef” brothers Michael 

and Bryan Voltaggio and Nancy Oakes of Boulevard and Prospect. 

Every course will be paired with two limited-production Pinot Noirs 

from highly acclaimed wineries including, Domaine Parent, Merry 

Edwards, Rochioli and Woodenhead. 

Pigs & Pinot Late Night is a late evening celebration following 

the gala with after-dinner drinks and dessert in the Hotel Healdsburg 

lobby. All Pigs & Pinot celebrants are welcome to attend. 

Tickets to this event quickly sell out. For more information, 

tickets or details about package prices with accomodations, visit

tasting room will accommodate up to 10 boutique wineries. 

The Wineyard will also include an educational component. Topics 

include the Santa Rosa Junior College Shone Farm Winery and farm 

products. The venue will also promote the abundant Sonoma County 

agri-tourism that the community has to offer. 

Graton Cellars Adds Bocce Ball Courts 

In addition to tasting some delicious hand-crafted Sonoma County 

wines, Graton Cellars also offers guests a chance to picnic and play 

bocce ball on their gorgeous property. 

Once a destination for families in search of Gravenstein apples, the 

48 

Paul family has traded apples for grapes and is now a family owned 

and operated winery. Led by owners Art and Barbara Paul, three generations 

participate in the cultivation of premium grapes on their 

Sonoma County estate. 

The bocce ball court is open and available during their tasting 

room hours, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. every day except Tuesday. 

Siduri Winery Moves to New, Larger Home 

Siduri Winery has gained a cult following for its ultra-premium, 

single-vineyard Pinot Noir, and its surprising, low-key location in a 

Santa Rosa business park. The winery has upgraded its location by 

moving across the street to a larger warehouse, but the same un-stuffy, 

casual atmosphere and incredible wines remain. 

The new facility at 981 Airway Court allows for more visitors 

during the wineries special open house events, in addition to 

increasing storage for producing their many small lots of single-vineyard 

Pinot Noir and other wines produced under the Novy label. 

Siduri is open for tasting daily by appointment only from 10 a.m. 

to 3 p.m.

Tasting Room of the Week: 

Ledson Winery 

by Brendan Controy 

If one is in search of a winery that has exceptional wine, a 

gourmet Marketplace and a truly breathtaking facility, Ledson 

Winery is the place to go. Located in Sonoma Valley, the aesthetic 

beauty of Ledson is nothing short of outstanding. The 16,000- 

square-foot castle has an opened, welcoming feel as one walks 

through a line of grape vines to arrive at a centrally located fountain 

and garden. Upon entering, one immediately discovers a grand staircase 

which could have come directly out of a Hollywood movie as 

well as a trophy room dedicated to holding Ledson’s numerous 

awards. The true elegance of the tasting room itself is astounding. 

One may conclude just by witnessing the craftsmanship and intricate 

designs etched into the structure as well as the diverse patterns 

inlaid in the hardwood floor of every room that much time and dedication 

went into its creation. Most of the structural design was originally 

envisioned and conceived by the winemaker, Steve Ledson, 

himself. As the concept started to become a reality, he began to actually 

tape sketches of potential designs to his bedroom ceiling so that 

he would dream about the design and detail of the building. That is 

the quite literal approach for working 24/7. The bricks of the 

building themselves were custom designed with the exact shades of 

brown and gray to match the colors of Hood Mountain located 

directly behind the facility. Ledson wanted to share the beauty of 

Hood Mountain without overshadowing it. Ledson also wants to 

create a certain sense of nostalgia in the wine industry by continually 

reminding people of its humble beginnings. Some of its most 

well known and popular vineyards that source grapes to them are 

also some of the oldest. In addition to the fact that they produce 

excellent wine, they also represent feelings of heritage and belonging 

with the land as an autonomous entity. 

Ledson’s general wine philosophy is to “make a bottle of wine for 

everyone on this earth for each price point and palate.” With its 

40,000 annual case production and an unprecedented 86 different 

wines (about 30 of which are served on the tasting menu) it is no 

wonder that they can find a wine for every potential buyer. Sold 

exclusively at the Ledson Hotel or the estate itself, Ledson’s wines are 

extremely hard to come by outside of one of their four wine clubs. 

The grapes are sourced from a whopping 60 vineyards that stretch 

out over ten counties in California. This is done in order to show the 

consumer the very distinct differences between different growing 

areas and the magic that can be created by harnessing their greatest 

strengths. 

If one wishes to enjoy both Ledson and all of the different 

wonders imbedded within Sonoma Valley, there are some specific 

events that cannot be missed. The first is known as the 10th Annual 

Sonoma Valley Olive Season Festival. For $20, one will receive a 

tasting passport (which is valid until February 28th) allowing the 

ability to go to different wineries and experience a multitude of 

different olive oils. Ledson has a wide selection of olive oils which 

includes among others Blood Orange, Meyer Lemon and Rosemary. 

In addition to this fact, at Ledson one will receive an upgraded 

tasting for participating in the event changing the standard tasting of 

six wines to a very satisfying nine different wines. 

Another event to consider is the 21st Annual Savor Sonoma 

Valley. For $55, one receives a pass for an entire weekend of complementary 

wine tasting. With more than 20 wineries participating, it 

is no easy feat to decide on which wineries to attend, but that all part 

of the fun. For more information on both of these events, visit 

ledonwinery.com under the events section. 

For more information, visit ledsonwinery.com and don’t forget to

Expanding Event Showcases Five Varietals and 

Varying Wine Styles from Around The World 

For the sixth year, the Anderson Valley Winegrowers Association 

(AVWA) will present the International Alsace Varietals Festival – the 

only U.S. event to focus on the mostly dry, white wines from Alsace, 

France. The 2011 event will be held February 12-13, in Mendocino 

County’s Anderson Valley – a region also known for its aromatic 

Gewürztraminer, Riesling, and Pinot Gris. 

Producers will pour five highlighted varietals – Riesling, Gewürztraminer, 

Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Muscat – during the two-day 

celebration. Festival events include a technical conference, a grand 

tasting, a winemaker dinner and winery open houses. 

“The continued success of this event is proof of increased interest 

in these varietals among both consumers and the trade,” said Milla 

Handley, winemaker at Handley Cellars, who has been producing 

Alsace-style white wines for almost 30 years. “With their food friendliness, 

lower alcohols and reasonable price tags, these wines have a lot 

going for them and it’s about time people took notice.” 

The technical conference on Saturday morning will examine the 

differences in Old World and New World techniques and trends in

winemaking and grape growing for these varietals, with talks by 

industry experts and winemakers from France, Germany and various 

regions of the United States. 

The Alsace Varietals Grand Tasting on Saturday afternoon will 

showcase aromatic white wines from approximately 35 producers. 

Live music and fantastic small bites, including fresh oysters, will be 

paired with the wines. Participating wineries include: Alderbrook 

Winery, Bowers Harbor Vineyards, Breggo Cellars, Brooks, Chateau 

Grand Traverse, Claiborne & Churchill, Claudia Springs Winery, 

Domaine Charles Baur, Domaine Shlumberger, Domaine Weinbach, 

Esterlina Vineyards & Winery, Foris Vineyards Winery, Foursight,

Lakes Wine Alliance,New Zealand Winegrowers Assn., Phillips Hill, 

Philo Ridge Vineyards, Robert Sinskey Vineyards, Thomas Fogarty 

Winery, Toulouse Vineyards, Valkenberg, Zina Hyde Cunningham and 

more... 

The winemaker dinner in the elegant private dining room at 

Scharffenberger Cellars on Saturday evening will focus on Alsace-style 

wines (including Pinot Noir) produced by participating wineries. The 

gourmet, sit-down meal will offer attendees a chance to meet and get 

to know each winemaker and taste their favorite wines. 

On Sunday, local wineries will host open houses that include live 

music, vineyard tours, food and wine pairings, and more. 

A detailed schedule for the weekend and additional information 

about the event can be found at the Anderson Valley Winegrowers 

Association website at www.avwines.com, or by contacting the Association 

via e-mail at info@avwines.com, or by phone at (707) 895- 

WINE. Tickets are available for sale on the AVWA website. 

The Anderson Valley Winegrowers Association operates with the 

goal of supporting the region’s grape growers and wineries, as well as 

promoting the region’s wines. In addition to acting as a resource for its 

members, the association aims to better its community by donating 

funds every year to local nonprofit organizations. To-date, more than 

$180,000 – raised at the association’s events – has been given to local 

charities. For more information about the association, its board of 

directors, or for a list of association members, visit www.avwines.com.

Barrel Tasting Weekend at Livermore Valley Wineries 

Livermore Valley Winegrowers Host 

Third Annual Barrel Tasting Weekend March 19-20 

More than 30 Livermore Valley wineries will offer samples of 

wines still in development – direct from their barrels – during the 

region’s third annual Barrel Tasting Weekend. Guests with special 

event wristbands and official tasting glasses will receive at least one 

barrel sample at each participating winery. Many winemakers will be 

present to personally pour and discuss their young wines and offer 

delicious pairings with gourmet appetizers, artisan cheeses, chocolate 

and nuts. 

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 

wines at a discount, before they are bottled and released to the public

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. 

For more information and 

directions, visit vinehillwinery.com 

or call (831) 427-0436.

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 in 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 selfguided 

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. 

Technical Sessions will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. the 27th at 

Villa Ragusa with presentations by wine experts on the challenges of 

growing and producing Pinot Noir in the region. Tickets are $55, 

reservations are required. 

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.
