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
What is terroir
The French term, “terroir” (pronounced tear-wah), is the term for
the conditions that make a specific grape-growing site, and its wine,
distinctive. It comes from a philosophy, originated in Europe, that a
multitude of influences in nature surrounding a vineyard, or wine
region, create a wine’s character. These natural factors include soil
composition, day and nighttime temperatures, the amount of rainfall,
the direction of the sun, just to name a few.
Terroir explains why some of the best California Pinot Noir, for
example, originate in the regions of Carneros and Russian River. They
may be separated by about 30 miles but they share similar soils and
experience the same cooling effects from bodies of water nearby –
either the ocean, in the case of the Russian River area, or San Pablo
Bay for the Carneros region. Both regions produce rich and complex
wines made from Pinot Noir grapes that reflect their similar terroir.
Over centuries of winemaking around the world, it has been
learned that the uniqueness of a specific location is what creates the
“personality” of a wine. Although the French word “terrior” has no
English translation, it has become a term used everywhere to describe
this interaction of the many factors that influence a grape-growing
site.
So, the next time you taste a great wine, whether Pinot Noir,
Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon or Zinfandel, take notice of where
the grapes were grown. If a distinct site is listed on the label as the
origin of the grapes, such as the name of a specific vineyard or an
official wine geographic region (also known as an appellation) know
that you are tasting more than just the grapes that made the wine.
You are experiencing “terrior” – everything in nature that makes that
site or region, unique.

BY JOSH STEIN
Barreling down for the winter
Winery operations are year-round, but the intensity of harvest,
which is so dependant upon time and speed, gives way to a much
more gentle process as our winter rains begin, cellars get more
chilly and damp, and wines begin to finish their primary and
secondary fermentations and are “racked” into barrel.
Alternatively, wines fermented in tanks which are meant to finish
those processes in the barrel are transferred off the “gross lees,”
the solid by-products of making wine, which include dead yeast
cells and various nutrients, so as to allow the oak’s influence to
be in the mix earlier in the production process before the wine is
even completely made. Regardless of which route toward oak
reds and some whites take, the reasons for “barreling down”
involve a slowdown into “cellar time.”
One of the things I’ve tried to emphasize in the past is the
idea that wine is a production process, not alchemy, and so the
choice of using barrels is just that, a choice, and one with many
subtle logistical options available to the winemaker. Before
going into them, let’s review what going into barrel does for a
wine. While almost all reds spend some time in contact with
oak, only some whites do. Oak imparts an underlying
creaminess, and time in contact with it encourages malolactic
fermentation to begin and to complete since Oenococcus oeni,
the organism which acutally does the acid shift, is resident in
oak; this serves to soften the wine since lactic acid is half as
strong as malic (think milk versus apple juice) and provides
perhaps another of the reasons barrels of oak were chosen for
storage in antiquity. Lastly, tannin formation and interchange
takes place between the barrels and the wine, and time in barrel
in combination with the micro-oxygenation as the wood
breathes serve to help create a chemically stable, silkier finished
wine.
With that as context, whether oak has been used as a primary
fermentation vessel or not, when ready to age in contact with
wood, the wine is transfered either from tank to barrel or from
barrel to barrel. Gravity-fed wineries do these processes through
the manipulation of space to allow the wine to literally drain
downwards without mechanical aids; most other wineries use
pumps of various designs to move wine horizontally or vertically
around their production spaces into barrels. Some wineries go
the opposite direction, concatenating their wines into larger lots
held in large oak or redwood vats or steel tanks, with or without
oak stave inserts.
And let’s not forget about costs. A new imported barrel is
north of $1,000, and that barrel will be used at most four times
for any discernible “oakiness” it would impart. Think of a stormbattered
piece of wood, only what’s left in the barrel after wine
has been in it for a year or two resembles more a dark, yucky
wine aquarium than driftwood. Once exhausted, a barrel can be
shaved and re-coopered for an additional cost, but it’s just that,
an additional cost which is dependent on the cooper’s skills to be
done properly or else the wines stored in the “rejuvenated” barrel
will take on port-like overtones. This is why some wineries
choose instead to use older, “neutal” barrels or small steel tanks
with various kinds of oak adjuncts like sticks, beads or cubes
inserted, or they will use larger staves with notches, hanging on a
lip around the edge of a large steel tank.
As you can see, what is mechanically a simple process –
separating liquid from most of the solids from fermentation –
becomes a much more complicated cultural and thus financial
process. How much of a difference this makes in consumer
awareness and apprecation is, of course, subject to debate. What
is undeniable, however, is the impact of oak on finished wine –
and its impact to the bottom line for the winemaker. Consider
that when next looking at a barrel chai: it’s not just a room of
wood and liquid – it’s the recorder of winegrowing decisions.
Enjoy!

ON THE COVER | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
BENNETT LANE WINERY
Venture Off the Beaten Path for a Taste of Calistoga Cabernet
Cabernet Lovers will race to Bennett Lane for a Sneak Peek of the 2010 Vintage February 2nd
BENNETT LANE WINERY
Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
3340 Highway 128, approximately two miles north of Calistoga
www.bennettlane.com | (707) 942-6684 | 1-877-MAX-NAPA
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 Cabernet Sauvignons. 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-thebeaten
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
Saturday, February 2nd, Bennett Lane’s 2010 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($55), 2010
Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon ($95) and 2010 Lynch Family Vineyard Calistoga Cabernet
Sauvignon ($125) 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. The cost for the release event is $30 per person and includes a flight of new
releases and select award-winning library releases.
Bennett Lane’s Cabs have continuously garnered critical acclaim. In the short period that
the winery has been opened they have received an incredible 33 scores of 90+ points
between Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast and Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. Just last year,
the 2008 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve scored 92 Points from Robert Parker’s
Wine Advocate, 91 Points from Wine Spectator and 93 Points from Wine Enthusiast. 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.
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.

and has upgraded their tasting
room to match the amazing
accolades that the wines have
received in their first few
years. It is fast becoming the
must-see destination for wine
lovers visiting California’s newest
AVA. In addition to the elegantly
appointed tasting bar, they are
premiering their custom ipad
application for their guests to
use for an interactive tasting
experience. Guests can not only
read the latest reviews and
tasting notes – but find
interesting food pairing recipes,
share their favorite new wines on
Facebook and email their
personal wine notes home, all
while tasting a glass of Napa’s
finest. Owner Randy Lynch
notes, “As a small winery we
strive to not only make the best
hand crafted wines available, but
also one of the most educational
and enjoyable tasting
experiences around for guests
coming to visit one of the
premier wine growing regions in
the world.”
The tasting flight at Bennett
Lane on a non-release event day
is $15 and includes four of
Bennett Lane’s wines, the
Cabernet, Reserve Chardonnay,
Maximus and Merlot. We
encourage you to put Bennett
Lane on your short-list of mustvisit
tasting rooms as the
production is small and the
Cabernets sell out quickly.
Visiting Bennett Lane affords
tasters another rarity with a
small winery – a likely run-in
(and perhaps a last minute barrel
tasting if you’re lucky!) with
owners Randy and Lisa Lynch.
Bennett Lane Winery is
located in an understated
Mediterranean-style building at
the beautiful northern end of the
Napa Valley, in Calistoga, and is
considered well worth the drive.

JUdd’s HiLL – Expect the Unexpected
BY MIKE HYLAND
I would guess that all of the wine club members as well as the many visitors to the winery
on the Silverado Trail in Napa know one thing for sure about Judd’s Hill – always expect the
unexpected. For example, the Judd’s Hill Valentine’s Day celebration will not take place on
February 14 as you would expect. They decided to make that date even more special by
celebrating ten days later on February 24, and calling it their Post Valentine’s Day Celebration
and Pick-Up Party. Crazy Maybe, but for winemaker Judd Finkelstein (hence the name) and
his wife Holly, that’s the way they like to do things, and apparently, so do all of their guests.
The event runs from noon to 2:30 p.m. with “great food, some form of live entertainment,
lots of surprises and, of course, massage therapists who will offer neck and shoulder
massages.” Now, what other winery offers that The event is free for wine club members and
$25 per person for non club members and takes place on the crush pad next to the vineyard.
Reservations are recommended by calling the tasting room at (707) 255-2332, and do you
really think it is an accident that the phone number and the physical address are somewhat
alike The winery is located at 2332 Silverado Trail in Napa. They are open by appointment
only every day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Owner Judd Finkelstein was raised in Napa Valley. His college credits include the Walter
Cronkite School of Journalism and Telecommunications at Arizona State where he earned a
bachelor’s degree in television production. If you’ve been to the Judd’s Hill website (and if not,
you should) then you have already seen some of Judd’s “Wine Booty” shows starring Judd and
The Pirate. While it seems a little zany, the shows are also interesting and informative. So,
whether it be pirates or magic or Hawaiian luau’s, or even playing in his Napa Valley ukulele
club with The Wine Country Flea Jumpers, Judd is right at home having a good time.
In addition to having a lot of fun, Judd is very serious about his winemaking. He grew up
in the wine industry and learned the art of winemaking from his dad, Art. “Our idea is that
great fruit makes fine wine and we want that fact to show through,” says Judd. “We use oak
subtly, keep the alcohols at moderate levels and blend carefully, among other techniques. We
let the grape shine, which results in wonderful wines of true varietal characteristics.”
And, with names like Magic, Presitdigitation and Burke’s Blazing Barbecue Old Vine
Zinfandel, among others, you know that Judd’s Hill is a fun place to sample wine. Give them a
call to schedule a tasting appointment or to RSVP for one of their events and experience the
magic of this boutique, family-run Napa Valley winery for yourself.

VIANSA WINERY
AND MARKETPLACE
The Perfect Place to Start a New Lease on Life!
BY MONICA L. DASHWOOD
At Viansa Winery and Marketplace, it’s about beginnings. Beginning
your weekend getaway; beginning your wine tasting experience;
beginning your trip to Italy; beginning your life as a couple.
Whether you’re coming to the wine country for the very first time or
you are a frequent visitor, Viansa Winery and Marketplace, located at
the entrance to Sonoma Valley, sitting high upon a hilltop, providing
breathtaking views of Sonoma Valley, vineyards and wetlands, is a must!
For those who hold a special love for all things Italian, Viansa Winery
and Marketplace beckons you with its beauty. From its Italian
architecture, fantastic views, property lined with cypress, olive and fruit
trees, Italian statues, water fountains, rose gardens and staff, you will be
transported to Italy where all your troubles will disappear and you will
enjoy life and be treated like family.
The best part of visiting Viansa Winery and Marketplace is tasting its
amazing award-winning wines. During 2012, Viansa wines won 46
medals. One of my favorite ways to enjoy Viansa is getting a bottle of
wine, some delicious food from its deli and sitting outside and enjoying
the fantastic view of Sonoma Valley and Viansa’s 113-acre seasonal
wetland. There is no better way to spend an afternoon!
Viansa produces 24 fantastic wines, half of which are Italian varietals.
Three wines that I would like to highlight are its 2010 Estate Primitivo,
2010 Reserve Sangiovese and 2011 Estate Chardonnay. The 2010 Estate
Primitivo and 2010 Reserve Sangiovese have not been produced since
2006 making these new fruity flavored vintages a special treat for wine
lovers. For those who prefer a rich white wine, the 2011 Estate
Chardonnay is a must try, exuding aromas and flavors of baked apple,
crisp citrus, butterscotch and toasty oak. These three wines originate
from Viansa’s hillside vineyard and range in price from $30-$45 a bottle
but wine club members receive a 25% discount.
As far as new beginnings go, I cannot think of a better place to start
your life as a married couple! This is the picture perfect venue to plan
your dream wedding and start your new life as bride and groom.
Viansa Winery and Marketplace celebrates more weddings than any
other winery in Sonoma County. This is due to the exquisite beauty of
the property and Viansa’s team of wedding coordinators that work
closely with you to customize your wedding wishes, and crafting a
fairytale wedding like no other. Viansa Winery received the 2012
Wedding Wire’s Bride’s Choice Award, making it the fourth consecutive
year they have received this award. The testimonials speak for
themselves. “Viansa is hands down the number one choice for a wine
country wedding. It’s the perfect mix of venue and winery which cannot
be found elsewhere. The view, food and staff are outstanding.”
Viansa Winery and Marketplace also hosts a number of events for its
guests. One noteworthy event is its annual Valentine’s Day Wine and
Chocolate Pairing. This event will be held on Saturday, February 16th

with seating at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. For wine club members the
cost is $50, per couple and for winery guests, the cost is $65, per
couple. This event is your opportunity to skip the crowded datenight
hot spots and opt for a luscious taste of Sonoma decadence
instead.
As you begin the New Year, Lloyd Davis, owner of Viansa Winery
and Marketplace promises you a one of a kind experience in the wine
country. Whether you are enjoying some of its delicious foods and
wines, or getting a grand taste of Italy, or starting a new life as bride
and groom, you will be treated like family and you will want to come
back again and again.

Winegrowers, winemakers and wine enthusiasts combine to form
the membership. The common focus is the preservation and
recognition of Zinfandel as America’s heritage wine. ZAP’s embership
includes approximately 250 winery-members, 4,000 advocate
members and 100 associate members.
Zinfandel is considered America’s heritage wine because of its rich
history; plantings of Zinfandel in California represent some of the
oldest vineyard plantings in the world – adding further to Zinfandel’s
critically important role in the world of fine wine. While the
Zinfandel grape originated in Europe, the Zinfandel name is truly
American – the earliest documented use of the name was when a
Boston nursery owner advertised Zinfandel for sale in 1832.
Zinfandel was introduced to California during the Gold Rush at some
point between 1852 and 1857 and became widely planted because it
thrived so well in the state’s climate and soil. Today, Zinfandel is the
third leading wine grape variety in California, with nearly 50,000
acres planted.
Zinfandel Advocates & Producers welcomes “Advocate” members
as well as wineries. ZAP members have unique opportunities to
explore Zinfandel, meet other Zinfandel enthusiasts and discover new
wineries. An annual membership is $44 (for two people) and
includes numerous special and behind-the-scenes events and
resources. Members have early entrance to the Grand Zinfandel
Tasting at ZAP’s Zinfandel Festival, plus winemaker workshops, as
well as ticket savings for the Festival and other events, including
cruises, invitations with special pricing to wine events, a seasonal
eNewsletter with news articles, member stories, recipes, discounts
and special offers at selected wineries and more.
Only available at winery. Not applicable online. Offer expires 06/30/2013.

ReFLeCtiNg tHe good LiFe
Artist Thomas Arvid comes to Napa Valley
BY SARAH DOYLE
There was something about the color
red that appealed to Atlanta-based artist
Thomas Arvid when he decided to choose a
focus for his artwork. While his first oil
paintings materialized images of Coca-
Cola ® cans, Converse ® tennis shoes, and
Radio Flyer ® wagons, it was Arvid’s still life
of a red wine bottle that caught the public’s
eye. The wine painting was purchased
before it was done drying on the easel. So
did the next one. And the one after that. It
was then that Arvid knew he was on to
something.
“Wine is great subject because people
are familiar with it. They really connect to
it,” says the self-taught Arvid who was
recently named one of the top “25 Artists
You Should Know” by U.S. Art magazine.
“My paintings speak to the special
moments that people share when they
share wine.”
Today, Arvid’s work focuses primarily on
still lifes of wine bottles, wine glasses, corks
and corkscrews, all of which are created
with startling precision. Even the smallest
detail gets significant attention, from the
delicately beaded bubbles lining each glass
of wine, to the minuscule pits in every
cork. More than 50 art galleries represent
his larger-than-life paintings in the United
States, Canada and Japan, including
Thomas Arvid Fine Art Gallery in Marietta,
Ga., which is considered one of the most
successful boutique art publishing
companies in the country. Currently,
collectors are willing to wait years for one
of his originals.
“It’s amazing that my collectors find a
personal fulfillment in my work,” marvels
Arvid. “Especially when I’m just doing what
I love.” The artist’s first museum exhibition,
“Arvid: Reflecting the Good Life,” appeared
this past November/December 2012 at The
Marietta Cobb Museum of Art in metro-
Atlanta and featured a retrospective of
Arvid’s body of work.
Thomas Arvid
meet the artist
On February 1, 2013, North Bay Gallery
in Yountville will present a wine and cheese
reception with Thomas Arvid from 5 to 7
p.m. Guests will have the opportunity to
mingle with the artist and view a selection of
his latest wine-themed work.
“Thomas is a remarkable artist,” says
North Bay Gallery owner, Marc Eremian. “He
has an incredible gift and I consider him to
be the pre-eminent painter of all things wine.
I’m always amazed by his ability to capture
the most subtle reflections through his
hyper-realistic style and composition.” If you
haven’t been to the North Bay Gallery in V
Marketplace, Arvid’s opening is the perfect
opportunity to visit this multimedia art
house, which exhibits an eclectic array of
bronze sculptures, metal art, paintings,
handcrafted jewelry and art glass created by
North American artists. (A second location
exists in Sonoma’s downtown square.)
On February 2, 2013, from 10 a.m.-3:30
p.m., Thomas Arvid will make his annual
appearance at Silver Oak Cellars in Napa
Valley as part of the winery’s biannual
Release Day event. The artist is a great
admirer of Silver Oak’s wines and has
captured many of the winery’s iconic images
on canvas throughout his painting career.
Guests can observe Arvid paint a work-inprogress
while enjoying Silver Oak’s newly
released 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon. Live
music and artisan small bites prepared by the
area’s best restaurants will also be on hand.

winery; but I may be influenced by their Cab
Franc.

korbel champagne cellars - the toast of the inaugural luncheon
eighth inauguration for America's Premium Champagne
When Barack Obama was sworn in for his second term as the
44th President of the United States, this historic event was once
again toasted with flutes of Korbel California Champagne. On
January 21st, immediately following the public Swearing-In
Ceremony, Korbel Russian River Valley Natural Champagne –
featuring a commemorative neck label including the Inaugural
Seal – was served at the Inaugural Luncheon and raised in
toasts to the Obama administration.
2013 marks the eighth Presidential Inauguration in
which Korbel Champagne Cellars, producer of America’s
favorite premium Champagne, has been selected for this
prestigious honor. This Korbel tradition began in 1985
with the inauguration of Ronald Reagan and has
continued through the inaugurations of George Bush in
1989, Bill Clinton in 1993 and 1997, George W. Bush in
2001 and 2005, and Barack Obama’s first term in 2009.
Since 1897, the Inaugural Luncheon has been one of
the most exclusive events of the Presidential Inauguration.
In addition to the President, Vice President and members
of their families, the 200 invited guests include the senior
members of the Senate and House of Representatives,
Supreme Court Justices, members of the President's
Cabinet and former Presidents. Reflecting the theme of the 2013
Inauguration, “Faith in America’s Future” celebrating the 150th

BY MIKE HYLAND
If you love great Chardonnay or Pinot Noir and you have not yet made it to Acacia
Vineyard in the Carneros region of Napa, do yourself a favor and stop in sometime
soon. Carneros is known for its Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and Acacia offers eight
unique Chardonnays and eight distinctive Pinot Noirs, a taste for everyone.
Off the beaten path – but one of the closest Napa wineries to San Francisco – Acacia
is a jewel of the Carneros region. Situated on a hill overlooking San Pablo Bay, with
views of Mount Tamalpais and surrounded by some 150 acres of vineyards, Acacia
looks and feels like paradise, even in the wintertime.
With an intimate tasting room and an extremely knowledgeable staff, there is always
something cooking in Acacia’s little corner of the world. Whether it be a crab or lobster
boil, a Mardi Gras party, a Mother’s Day brunch or just a hike in the vineyards, there are
events going on each month. For big groups, the hospitality staff opens the Tank Room,
a large tasting area complete with fermentation tanks and barrels (hence the name).
Acacia has been making its award-winning, single-vineyard wines since 1979.
Utilizing the winery’s estate grapes, winemaker Matthew Glynn also sources fruit from
such well-known Carneros and Russian River vineyards as Sangiacomo and Lone Tree.
Acacia has the distinction of being one of the first California wineries to offer vineyarddesignate
Pinot Noir. While Acacia makes a multitude of Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs,
they are all limited productions – usually about 200 to 300 cases per varietal – and the
only way you can get them is through the tasting room or by joining the wine club. In
addition to the Chards and Pinots, Acacia produces a delicious Viognier and a
refreshing rosé of Pinot Noir, perfect for summertime sipping.
Long before the climate of the Carneros AVA was recognized as ideal for growing
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Acacia’s pioneering founders were convinced of it. Their
goal in launching Acacia was to achieve a certain balance in Pinot Noir that, at the time,
existed only in French wines. They wanted to craft a single-vineyard California Pinot
Noir that was both complex and delicate – a wine that heightened the enjoyment of
food, making everything just a little tastier.
Today, that quality is what draws both aficionados and novices alike to Acacia wines.
It also helped to put Carneros on the map, and it continues to inspire winemaking at
Acacia after almost 35 year.

Welcome to
y o u n t v i l l e
at Jessup cellars, it’s all about the experience
In a verdant valley full of wineries,
vineyards and tasting rooms, the Jessup
Cellars tasting room is something different.
The wines are excellent, the people are
friendly (while also being efficient and
knowledgeable about their wines, art and
hospitality in general). But there are some
things you will find when you visit that set
Jessup apart from the rest.
As any staff member will proudly
proclaim if asked, Jessup is “all about the
experience.” Walk-in visitors are welcomed
at the tasting bar, but for those seeking a
more intimate occasion, the by-appointment
semi-private tastings are the way to best
enjoy the tasting room and staff. Taking place
within Jessup’s art gallery, visitors get to
enjoy a range of wines available only from
the winery in a relaxed, no attitude
environment. In fact, if you ask the right
people around the Valley, you’ll hear the
same response: it’s the staff at Jessup, their
willingness to answer any question, their joy
at getting to share what they love about the
wines, which really makes the distinction.
It is fair to say – perhaps even an
understatement – to consider a visit to this
charming tasting room with its fine wines,
gracious wine country hospitality, collection
of art, handsome décor and casual feel is a
true treat for all of the senses. To be able to
sit, sample their exceptional wines along
with a bit of food in such a setting, where
you learn in such a way that it feels as if you
are simply absorbing knowledge instead of
just being taught, is wonderful way to spend
an hour or so here in a small town that is a
beacon to wine lovers and gourmets from

A Romantic Rendezvous for Your Sweetheart and You
A first encounter with the Candlelight Inn is a bit like “love at first sight”! As you approach the
beautifully maintained and landscaped Tudor Mansion – built as a residence in 1929 – it appears to
straddle Easum Drive, a modest residential area. The street – not far from Napa’s Town Center –
ends as you park in the welcoming front courtyard. Right here, in the bustling epicenter of everything
that makes the wine country so desirable, the luxurious ten-room inn sits on its own private,
one-acre, secluded park. It is bordered by Napa Creek and nestled beneath towering redwoods.
Here, a spacious pool/cabana is surrounded by meticulously landscaped flowering shrubs, bushes
and rock gardens. Noticeable sounds are birds and rustling leaves.
Originally designed for an active family’s enjoyment, Candlelight Inn is now a private retreat for
discriminating visitors to the wine country. Many guests, who were smitten by that first impression,
now return year after year to relax and renew their enjoyment of all the region offers. On each visit,
there is more to do. In recent years, Napa has become a hub for worldrenowned
chefs, and each year brings more restaurant openings. At the
inn, guests can enjoy complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres as well as
snacks and drinks at all hours. A three-course breakfast featuring local
and seasonal foods is served each morning. Most rooms have a deck or
balcony, a two-person marble Jacuzzi tub and a fireplace. All have air
conditioning, TV, telephone and wireless internet access. Each is unique
and tastefully designed. An on-site concierge provides personalized
dining and wine country touring recommendations. The concierge also
helps guide you to the numerous attractions of wine country – hiking
and bicycling, kayaking, bird watching, cultural attractions, balloon
rides and spa services. The inn has received numerous awards and been
featured in USA Weekend and National Geographic Traveler.
The Candlelight Inn is located at 1045 Easum Drive, Napa.
For reservations and to hear more about our packages, call

Lost CANYoN WiNeRY /

BY MICHELLE J. BAKER
What award-winning winery’s tasting room by day turns into
downtown Santa Rosa’s most hip and happening wine bar by
night
By day the tasting room is Lost Canyon Winery, a wellestablished
label that debuted in 2001 and was purchased by
Fritz Winery in Dry Creek Valley in 2007. Lost Canyon is best
known for its single-vineyard Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and
Syrah sourced from five prime Russian River Valley vineyards.
Then at night (or about 4pm), the Lost Canyon tasting room
becomes Station 1870 wine bar, which has quickly become one
of downtown Santa Rosa’s hottest late-night destinations. The
wine bar features live music on weekends and the best of both
North Coast and (surprise!) Italian wines imported exclusively
by Fritz Winery’s proprietor Clay Fritz.
In addition to the Lost Canyon wines, the tasting room and
wine bar both offer wines from its sister labels Fritz, which
primarily focuses on Dry Creek Valley estate and reserve wines;
Jenner, with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the Sonoma
Coast; and Vino Valpredo, featuring a bit of this and a bit of
that, including Sonoma County Merlot and a tasty white blend.
And then there are the Italian wines. Local wine lovers are
clicking their heels with joy to find a place in Sonoma County
to try a slate of Italian wines from Prosecco to Chianti Classico
and Brunello di Montalcino, with more showing up regularly.
The Italian wines are carefully chosen and make a perfect Old
World complement to the California wines.
Whenever you go, take a seat in the warm, cozy couches, at
the modern bar or at the romantic, softly-lit tables in the back,
relax and let this doting and knowledgeable staff do its thing.
Taste a flight of wines, enjoy a glass or bottle of wine before or
after dinner, or try a yummy Prosecco cocktail. The team at
Station 1870 has also come up with a deliciously creative
crostini menu and a lovely cheese plate to pair with your wines
if you’re looking for a light nibble.
You will want to stick around for a while to enjoy the live
music offered Thursday through Saturday nights. Featured
artist Amaya Rising, whose music is “flamenco-inspired tours of
Europe,” may serenade you with his beautiful viola-playing, and
any number of his musical buddies may show up to jam the
night away.

‘sisters – sculpture By Jane and tyler Burton’
to debut at a new leaf gallery | sculpturesite
First time Collaboration show by sister sculptors Jane and tyler Burton
Renowned figurative ceramic sculptors Jane Burton and Tyler
Burton are debuting their first collaborative exhibition titled
“Sisters” on Saturday, January 26 at A New Leaf Gallery |
Sculpturesite located at Cornerstone in Sonoma. A reception for
the artists will be held on Sunday, January 27 from 2 to 5 p.m. in
the gallery. The show will remain at A New Leaf Gallery |
Sculpturesite until April 21.
Working in collaboration for the first time, sisters Jane and Tyler
Burton have created an installation titled “Selective Memory,”
comprised of more than 1,200 hanging white porcelain rocks
layered over scores of ancestral faces. The 12'H x 7'L x 3'D piece
reflects on family ties, perceived family memories, as well as a
realization that we are all a fragment of a larger whole. Both artists’
works are significantly influenced by the countless patterns,
textures and colors of nature and reveal their reverence for the
power and quietude found there. In addition to the one major
collaborative piece, both Jane and Tyler will exhibit several solo
works each.
Jane Burton has been represented by A New Leaf Gallery |
Sculpturesite owner Brigitte Micmacker for more than eight years.
“I am thrilled that Jane and her sister Tyler are collaborating on
their first show which will take place at our gallery in Sonoma.
The idea for ‘Sisters’ grew out of a two-month residency the Burton
sisters participated in at the Banff Art Centre in Banff, Alberta
Canada,” says Brigitte.
“We have always talked about doing some kind of suspended
work, and porcelain rocks are a natural for us since we both work
in clay and love to collect rocks,” says Jane Burton. “We created
each piece and feel like we imbued our DNA, a common gene, on
each rock. Our original intention was to create a hanging figure
A TASTING ROOM BY DAY…
within the rocks, but as it
progressed, we loved the
simplicity of a suspended box.”
“Working with family or
close friends can be challenging,
and since we are sisters, you
would think it would be
extremely challenging, but Jane
and I have a dynamic that works
really well together,” said Tyler
Burton. “First of all, we have the
same sense of humor and when
together, we laugh a lot. We also
have close to the same esthetic
and an appreciation for each
other’s eye. We can anticipate
what each other will think about
certain things and often we
don’t even have to verbalize a
thought. I believe this gives us a
communication edge.”
A New Leaf Gallery |
Sculpturesite is dedicated
entirely to modern and
contemporary fine art sculpture.
Located within Cornerstone
Sonoma, a unique destination
for art, design, architectural
gardens, wine and food,
Micmacker and Denning have
also created SculptureWALK
that features more than 60 largescale
sculptures placed
throughout the Cornerstone
grounds.

Meadowcroft wines Mardi gras party, february 9
3rd Annual event to Feature Cajun Food,
music and second Line Parade
Meadowcroft Wines will once again get a
jumpstart on Fat Tuesday when they
welcome Mardi Gras in authentic Louisiana
style on Saturday, February 9 from noon to 4
p.m. at the tasting room. Located in
Cornerstone Sonoma (23570 Arnold
Drive/Hwy 121) the third annual party will
be rocking with Louisiana/Cajun/dance
music by Rhythmtown-Jive. Members of the
band will also lead a Second Line parade
throughout the Cornerstone shops and
gardens to get the party in high gear.
All the food for this Mardi Gras
celebration is being flown in from Louisiana.
On the menu is crawfish etouffe served over
rice arriving from Baton Rouge, red beans
and rice with Cajun sausage from Eunice,
Jack Miller’s Bar-be-que Sauce from Ville
Platte, as well as French bread, Louisiana
Sensation salad and King Cakes from New
Orleans. And, of course, Cajun food pairs
exceptionally well with all of the
Meadowcroft Wines.
“I don’t believe there is a more authentic
Mardi Gras celebration in Northern
California than what we have done over the
past two years, and it just keeps getting
better,” said Tom Meadowcroft, owner and
winemaker of Meadowcroft Wines. “When it
comes to the food, the music, the parade and
the crowning of our King and Queen of
Mardi Gras, this is as close to a Louisiana
celebration as you can get.”
The Krewe of Meadowcroft Mardi Gras
party is $50 per person in advance and $60
per person beginning February 1, and $40
per person for Meadowcroft Wine Club
members. The ticket price covers food, wine,
music, dancing, parade participation and
fun! Tickets may be purchased by calling the
tasting room at (707) 934-4090 or online at

Family labels. The tasting room is located
within the Cornerstone Sonoma that features
24 world-class gardens, a gourmet café, art
galleries and cutting-edge design shops all set
among acres of vineyards.

a.m. to 5 p.m. The venue is available for
private parties, private tastings, wine dinners
and other events. With plenty of free parking
at Cornerstone Sonoma, the area is a perfect

valentine’s dinner at st. francis winery, feb. 14
Make Valentine’s Day memorable with a very special dinner at
St. Francis from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Celebrate with great wine and food as
Executive Chef David Bush creates an exquisite menu for you and
your special someone. Share an intimate candlelit experience, with
each tantalizing course expertly paired with St. Francis premium
Artisan Series wines.
Cost is $125 per person, $99 for wine club members (plus tax and
gratuity). Reservations are required.
With so many different options for wine tasting in Sonoma Valley,
it can be difficult to choose one over another. One winery may have
great wine and another may have a beautiful view. For the best of
everything, come to St Francis Winery & Vineyards.
Start by admiring the majestic view surrounding the Visitor
Center. With its plush foliage, acres upon acres of vineyards and
intricate, Tuscan-inspired architecture, St. Francis Winery is nothing
short of breathtaking. Sit on the back patio taking in the view nearly
150 acres of estate vineyards as well as the grandeur of Hood
Mountain.
With a number of tasting options, there is a selection of wines
for every palate. The vast majority of St. Francis’ grapes come from
Sonoma Valley, with the rest coming from other top appellations in
Sonoma County, such as Dry Creek Valley and Russian River Valley.
For the ultimate culinary wine adventure, reserve a seat for one
of the winery’s daily wine and food experiences. The winery’s seated
multicourse wine and food pairing is unsurpassed in wine country,
offering what one popular food writer described as “small plates
that rival the kitchen of any Michelin-starred restaurant.” This notto-missed
experience costs $38 and pairs five premium wines with
exceptional gourmet foods from the winery’s talented onsite
Executive Chef David Bush.
For a more informal wine and food pairing, St. Francis also
offers the option of relaxing on the outside patio with a glass of
wine or a flight of wines paired with a selection of charcuterie,
featuring local cheeses, housemade patés and rillettes. Availability
varies by season.

Sonoma Plaza, a National Historic Landmark, is
originally home to the last of the chain of 21
California missions. Throughout its colorful
history – including the Bear Flag Revolt where the
California state flag was first raised in 1842 – the
small-town epicenter is now home to some 25
gourmet dining establishments, 40 boutique shops
and art galleries as well as 18 unique tasting
rooms. A well-known tourist destination, visitors
come to Sonoma to experience the idyllic Wine
Country lifestyle. Sure, doublewide tractors may
grace the two-lane Highway 12, wide-open
ranchlands blanket the valley between towns, and
wooly sheep keep weeds and grasses minimal in
the vineyards. But, no doubt, you will also find
countless award-winning wineries and world-class
restaurants in Sonoma. Sonoma is all about life,
about taste and enjoying each day.

vJB cellars open late fridays
Join vJB Cellars as they ring in the New Year
by keeping the Red Rooster Kitchen open late!
Every Friday in 2013, the Red Rooster Kitchen at VJB will stay
open until 7 p.m. and will be serving up wood-fired pizzas, chicken
drumsticks, baby back ribs and much more!
Fill up your VJB jug with their red table wine, enjoy the company
of other locals and top off your evening with a cup of gelato!
During regular tasting room hours (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.), visitors can
taste a number of VJB wines which are produced with an eye toward
new world innovation and old world sensibility, including Californiagrown
Italian varietals such as Barbera, Sangiovese, and Primitivo, a
close relative of Zinfandel.
VJB Cellars is located on a corner parcel, surrounded by
vineyards. From the exterior, the buildings exude old-word style,
reminiscent of Tuscan countryside homes with stucco and stone
façades and red tile roofs. Visitors enter the marketplace through the
piazza – a central square – bordered by unique shops intending to
have the look, feel and charm of an Italian neighborhood village. The
square is adorned with a scattering of wrought iron tables and chairs,
market umbrellas and a cascading fountain where visitors gather.
The new charming Italian-style villa that houses the tasting room,
marketplace and central piazza has quickly become a popular
gathering spot for visitors and locals alike in the small town of
Kenwood at 60 Shaw Avenue. For more information, call (707) 833-

WiNe CoUNtRY NeWs | WiNe CoUNtRY tHis WeeK
lodi’s 16th annual wine & chocolate weekend,
february 9 & 10 featuring Brix chocolate
This year marks the sixteenth occasion of one of Northern
California’s favorite Valentine’s Weekend celebrations: Lodi Wines’
annual Wine & Chocolate Weekend. Festivities are scheduled for
Saturday, February 9th and Sunday, February 10th, from 11 a.m. to
4 p.m. each day. Bring someone special to Lodi Wine Country and
fall in love with the diversity of handcrafted wines from the Lodi
winegrowing region paired with decadent chocolate treats by Brix
Chocolate.
High-end confectioner, Brix Chocolate
(www.brixchocolate.com), is the official chocolate sponsor of this
year’s celebration, generously donating the commemorative
chocolate treats that event attendees will be receiving. Brix
Chocolate has the distinguished privilege of serving as the first
chocolate sponsor of Lodi’s Wine & Chocolate Weekend in 16 years.
Brix is the first line of chocolates that are specifically blended to
compliment wine, based on the varietal. The primary ingredient of
each Brix Chocolate is single origin Ghanaian chocolate, known for
its red fruit tones, mixed with the highest quality confectionery
chocolate. The result is a blend so pure in flavor that it actually
enhances the nuances found in great wines, without confounding
the palate.
In addition to exceptional wines and chocolate, event attendees
to the Lodi Wine & Chocolate Weekend will have the opportunity
to visit over 45 participating wineries over the course of two days
and engage in various activities such as wine and chocolate pairings,
barrel tastings, live music and winery tours. More than 100 prizes
will be awarded to lucky wine and chocolate lovers, including a
Lodi Wine Country Getaway and the “Golden Ticket,” which will be
hidden in a commemorative chocolate bag.
“Lodi’s Wine & Chocolate Weekend is the quintessential
occasion for anyone interested in one of the greatest gustatory
pleasures: the pairing of wine and chocolate,” said Camron King,
Executive Director of the Lodi Winegrape Commission. “Not only
does this event offer exceptional wines, but one can experience the
passion, heritage and variety of the Lodi wine region.”
Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased online at
www.lodiwineandchocolate.com or by calling the Lodi Wine and
Visitors Center at (209) 365-0621. Advance tickets cost $45 per
person and $55 per person during the event. Tickets include a
commemorative wine glass, a chocolate gift, wine tasting and
admission to all participating wineries. Tickets are valid for both
Saturday and Sunday and there is no charge for designated drivers.

Surrounded by beautiful scenery, Garré Vineyard & Winery is a
part of the historic Livermore Valley Wine Country. From sunrise to
sunset, the panoramic views offer a spectacular backdrop while
enjoying what Garré has to offer.
Garré hosts many annual and seasonal events that have become
tradition, although the details may change the flavor of the event
remains. Throughout the year, events are put on the calendar such as
winemaker dinners, chocolate and wine pairing, who knows … they
may even celebrate a full moon.
If a wedding or special event is in your future, come to Garré on
February 10 for a Bridal Faire, held at Garré’s Martinelli Event
Center – a beautiful Hacienda-styled building complete with an
outdoor cobblestoned courtyard, fireplace and fountain. The outdoor
ceremony area has a wisteria covered arbor overlooking the valley.
The mission-style surroundings bring a feel of ‘simply stated beauty.’
On February 9 and 14, love is in the air at Garré. Music and
flowers set the tone for their annual Valentine’s Dinner. Enjoy a
delectable menu created by the chef, expertly paired with Garré’s fine
wines to celebrate this evening of romance.

Festival to showcase international Whites, dinner by Chef John Ash
For the eighth consecutive year, the Anderson Valley
Winegrowers Association will host the International Alsace Varietals
Festival – an event that has become a premier showcase for Alsacestyle
whites from around the world. The 2013 festival, to be held
February 9-10, features a winemaker dinner by Chef John Ash, a
cooking demonstration by mother-and-son duo Joyce and Evan
Goldstein and much more.
Producers from Anderson Valley to Alsace will pour Riesling,
Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Muscat during the
weekend’s festivities. Alsace Festival events will include an
educational seminar, a food and wine pairing demonstration, a grand
tasting, a group winemaker dinner and winery open houses.
Saturday morning’s educational session will blend both pertinent
issues in winemaking and grape growing with wine tasting. Topics
will range from botrytis management to a “Gastro Tour of Alsace”
and a 30-year retrospective Riesling tasting by Greenwood Ridge
Vineyards Winemaker Allan Green.
The Alsace Varietals Grand Tasting on Saturday afternoon will
showcase aromatic white wines from approximately 30 producers.
Fantastic small bites will be paired with the wines, including:
Tomales Bay oysters; tarte flambée by Piaci’s Pizza; a selection of
cheeses from Boont Berry Farm; a pork belly dish created by Chef
Marc Dym of The Little River Inn; custom chocolates from Essence
by Chocolate, and several others.
Evan Goldstein, M.S. – cookbook author and president and chief
education officer at Full Circle Wine Solutions, Inc. – will host an
engaging and educational food & wine pairing demonstration just
prior to Saturday’s grand tasting. His mother, Joyce Goldstein, also
an acclaimed food author and expert, will join her son for the
demonstration. Together, they will prepare a recipe from their book,
Perfect Pairings: A Master Sommelier’s Practical Advice for Partnering
Wine with Food, and pair the dish with wines from attending
wineries. Attendees will learn tips and tricks from the pros, and have
a chance to sample the dish at the Alsace Festival Grand Tasting, just
after the demonstration.
Participating wineries at the festival have included: Anne Amie
Vineyards, Arista, Banyan/The Hobo Wine Co., Alderbrook Winery,
Bowers Harbor, Brandborg Vineyard & Winery, Breggo Cellars,
Brooks Winery, Grand Traverse, Chateau Ste. Michelle, Chehalem,

The Monterey County Convention and Visitors Bureau is proud to
announce Wine Enthusiast has selected the destination as a 2013 Top
Ten Wine Travel Destination in the World. Monterey County is the
only California wine region to make the 2013 list.
“The wine country in Monterey County is less commercialized and
provides a more authentic experience for the devoted wine
enthusiast,” said Tammy Blount, CEO of the Monterey County
Convention and Visitors Bureau. “A wine country itinerary in
Monterey County is perfectly complemented with our incredible
array of intimate dining options, world-class shopping and spa
experiences, and the most beautiful coastline in the world,” she
added.
The designation is the result of Wine Enthusiast editors who trek
the globe each year in search of the most exciting places to visit.
Decisions are based on overall cultural experience, timeliness, travel
infrastructure and, of course, wine quality in the region. The entire
list is featured in the February 2013 issue of Wine Enthusiast,
available on newsstands now.
Monterey County has seen a stunning forty percent increase of
tasting rooms in the last year and is home to more than 40,000 acres
of premium vineyards. Wine enthusiasts are able to take public
transit to tasting rooms in rustic Carmel Valley which is home to the
new East End Wine Row. Shoppers can mix finding their latest
treasure with wine tasting in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Fifteen tasting
rooms are now located in the walkable one square mile known for
unique shops. Vineyard experiences along River Road are also gaining
momentum with ATV rides through the vines.
“There are amazing things happening in Monterey County,
especially in wine. I feel we are finally getting the recognition we
deserve,” said Sabrine Rodems, winemaker of Monterey County
based Wrath Wines.

The River Road Wine Trail (formerly Steinbeck Wine Country) is
an association of 14 Monterey County winery tasting rooms, located
primarily along the River Road / Foothill Road corridor, on the Santa
Lucia bench above the Salinas Valley. Charming and intimate, these
tasting rooms specialize in limited release vintages and genuine
hospitality. Often, visitors will be sampling with the actual
winemaker. Conveniently situated just east of Monterey and Carmel,
and about seventy minutes south of San Jose, the River Road Wine
Trail has become one of the Central Coast’s premiere wine touring
destinations. The group’s online home is RiverRoadWineTrail.com.
