I N T E L L I G E N C E F O R T H E W I N E C O N S U M E R<br />
BY LEN NAPOLITANO<br />
What is terroir<br />
The French term, “terroir” (pronounced tear-wah), is the term for<br />
the conditions that make a specific grape-growing site, and its wine,<br />
distinctive. It comes from a philosophy, originated in Europe, that a<br />
multitude of influences in nature surrounding a vineyard, or wine<br />
region, create a wine’s character. These natural factors include soil<br />
composition, day and nighttime temperatures, the amount of rainfall,<br />
the direction of the sun, just to name a few.<br />
Terroir explains why some of the best California Pinot Noir, for<br />
example, originate in the regions of Carneros and Russian River. They<br />
may be separated by about 30 miles but they share similar soils and<br />
experience the same cooling effects from bodies of water nearby –<br />
either the ocean, in the case of the Russian River area, or San Pablo<br />
Bay for the Carneros region. Both regions produce rich and complex<br />
wines made from Pinot Noir grapes that reflect their similar terroir.<br />
Over centuries of winemaking around the world, it has been<br />
learned that the uniqueness of a specific location is what creates the<br />
“personality” of a wine. Although the French word “terrior” has no<br />
English translation, it has become a term used everywhere to describe<br />
this interaction of the many factors that influence a grape-growing<br />
site.<br />
So, the next time you taste a great wine, whether Pinot Noir,<br />
Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon or Zinfandel, take notice of where<br />
the grapes were grown. If a distinct site is listed on the label as the<br />
origin of the grapes, such as the name of a specific vineyard or an<br />
official wine geographic region (also known as an appellation) know<br />
that you are tasting more than just the grapes that made the wine.<br />
You are experiencing “terrior” – everything in nature that makes that<br />
site or region, unique.<br />

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

BENNETT LANE WINERY<br />
Venture Off the Beaten Path for a Taste of Calistoga Cabernet<br />
Cabernet Lovers will race to Bennett Lane for a Sneak Peek of the 2010 Vintage February 2nd<br />
BENNETT LANE WINERY<br />
Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.<br />
3340 Highway 128, approximately two miles north of Calistoga<br />
www.bennettlane.com | (707) 942-6684 | 1-877-MAX-NAPA<br />
The first weekend in February is all about Cabernet in the valley as wineries up and down<br />
Highway 29 and the Silverado Trail release their luscious Napa Cabernet Sauvignons. One of<br />
our favorite stops every year is Bennett Lane <strong>Wine</strong>ry in Calistoga, known for its succulent<br />
Cabernets, their signature “feasting wine,” Maximus, and for one of the finest visitor<br />
experiences in the valley. Founded by Randy and Lisa Lynch in 2003, Bennett Lane’s off-thebeaten<br />
track location and friendly tasting room offers visitors to Napa a “secret gem” and a<br />
great way to learn about – and try – some of Napa’s best wines in a more intimate setting. On<br />
Saturday, February 2nd, Bennett Lane’s 2010 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($55), 2010<br />
Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon ($95) and 2010 Lynch Family Vineyard Calistoga Cabernet<br />
Sauvignon ($125) will be released and poured for visitors at the tasting room – a special<br />
opportunity to get a sneak peek and taste the wines before they are released to the public<br />
later this year. The cost for the release event is $30 per person and includes a flight of new<br />
releases and select award-winning library releases.<br />
Bennett Lane’s Cabs have continuously garnered critical acclaim. In the short period that<br />
the winery has been opened they have received an incredible 33 scores of 90+ points<br />
between <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator, <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast and Robert Parker’s <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate. Just last year,<br />
the 2008 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve scored 92 Points from Robert Parker’s<br />
<strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, 91 Points from <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator and 93 Points from <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast. Year<br />
after year the popular blend of Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah has received 90 points or above<br />
from the critics. The “red feasting wine,” as Maximus is affectionately referred to on the label,<br />
demonstrates owners Randy and Lisa Lynch’s commitment to making wine an integral part of<br />
entertaining with family and friends.<br />
Bennett Lane’s wines are crafted to be approachable, yet complex – or what owner Randy<br />
Lynch calls, “the best of both worlds,” meaning you can drink them today, but they are<br />
structured enough to cellar for several years. “My goal is for us to make consistent wines –<br />
both in quality and taste – from year to year, so that consumers can trust Bennett Lane<br />
wines,” he says.<br />
Only nine years old, Bennett Lane has quickly become one of the top vintners in the valley<br />

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

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

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

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

<strong>Wine</strong>growers, winemakers and wine enthusiasts combine to form<br />
the membership. The common focus is the preservation and<br />
recognition of Zinfandel as America’s heritage wine. ZAP’s embership<br />
includes approximately 250 winery-members, 4,000 advocate<br />
members and 100 associate members.<br />
Zinfandel is considered America’s heritage wine because of its rich<br />
history; plantings of Zinfandel in California represent some of the<br />
oldest vineyard plantings in the world – adding further to Zinfandel’s<br />
critically important role in the world of fine wine. While the<br />
Zinfandel grape originated in Europe, the Zinfandel name is truly<br />
American – the earliest documented use of the name was when a<br />
Boston nursery owner advertised Zinfandel for sale in 1832.<br />
Zinfandel was introduced to California during the Gold Rush at some<br />
point between 1852 and 1857 and became widely planted because it<br />
thrived so well in the state’s climate and soil. Today, Zinfandel is the<br />
third leading wine grape variety in California, with nearly 50,000<br />
acres planted.<br />
Zinfandel Advocates & Producers welcomes “Advocate” members<br />
as well as wineries. ZAP members have unique opportunities to<br />
explore Zinfandel, meet other Zinfandel enthusiasts and discover new<br />
wineries. An annual membership is $44 (for two people) and<br />
includes numerous special and behind-the-scenes events and<br />
resources. Members have early entrance to the Grand Zinfandel<br />
Tasting at ZAP’s Zinfandel Festival, plus winemaker workshops, as<br />
well as ticket savings for the Festival and other events, including<br />
cruises, invitations with special pricing to wine events, a seasonal<br />

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

Remember: Please sip responsibly! Plan to taste at no more than three wineries based on these recommendations.<br />

WCtW: If you were to visit just one winery, which<br />
would you choose and why<br />
LAd: If I could visit only one, I would visit Spring<br />
Mountain <strong>Wine</strong>ry, because it is so breathtakingly<br />
beautiful, and the wines are so incredible.<br />
WCtW: What winery do you think has the best<br />
“over-the-top” experience to offer visitors<br />
LAd: I think that Far Niente is rather “over-thetop;”<br />
its place within the history of Napa Valley<br />
winemaking is fascinating, the building is<br />
gorgeous, the grounds are stunning and to see the<br />
antique car collection is really quite special.<br />
WCtW: Where do you send guests that want to<br />
learn about wine<br />
LAd: If they are newcomers to the world of wine I<br />
might send them to Beringer for one of the<br />
educational tastings with Dean, who is so<br />
fabulous. He makes it all so accessible, easy, and<br />
enjoyable. If my guests are budding collectors, I<br />
might send them to Shafer, where they do a more<br />
formal educational tasting.<br />
WCtW: Where would you take friends to learn<br />
about/taste organic wines<br />
LAd: I think Grgich Hills is an excellent example<br />
of organic wines that are absolutely superb. I like<br />
their whites as much as their reds.<br />
WCtW: Who has your favorite cave tour<br />
LAd: My favorite cave/cellar tour is at Del Dotto<br />
winery; but I may be influenced by their Cab<br />
Franc.<br />
WCtW: What areas and/or wineries would you<br />
recommend that are not part of the popular wine<br />
country<br />
LAd: I think that the Glen Ellen area is still a bit of<br />
a hidden gem, it’s so rural and peaceful, and<br />
beautiful.<br />

toasts to the Obama administration.<br />
2013 marks the eighth Presidential Inauguration in<br />
which Korbel Champagne Cellars, producer of America’s<br />
favorite premium Champagne, has been selected for this<br />
prestigious honor. <strong>This</strong> Korbel tradition began in 1985<br />
with the inauguration of Ronald Reagan and has<br />
continued through the inaugurations of George Bush in<br />
1989, Bill Clinton in 1993 and 1997, George W. Bush in<br />
2001 and 2005, and Barack Obama’s first term in 2009.<br />

the most exclusive events of the Presidential Inauguration.<br />
In addition to the President, Vice President and members<br />
of their families, the 200 invited guests include the senior<br />
members of the Senate and House of Representatives,<br />
Supreme Court Justices, members of the President's<br />
Cabinet and former Presidents. Reflecting the theme of the 2013<br />
Inauguration, “Faith in America’s Future” celebrating the 150th<br />
anniversary of the placement of the Statue of Freedom atop the<br />
U.S. Capitol dome, this year’s Inaugural Luncheon will include<br />
speeches, gift presentations from the JCCIC and – of course –<br />
several toasts.<br />
“Such an historic celebration deserves to be toasted with<br />
American Champagne with roots in our country’s most<br />
memorable occasions,” observed Gary Heck, President and<br />
Owner of Korbel Champagne Cellars. “We are honored that<br />
Korbel – celebrating its 130th anniversary – will once again<br />
be on hand for this prestigious tradition.”<br />

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

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

A Romantic Rendezvous for Your Sweetheart and You<br />
A first encounter with the Candlelight Inn is a bit like “love at first sight”! <strong>As</strong> you approach the<br />
beautifully maintained and landscaped Tudor Mansion – built as a residence in 1929 – it appears to<br />
straddle Easum Drive, a modest residential area. The street – not far from Napa’s Town Center –<br />
ends as you park in the welcoming front courtyard. Right here, in the bustling epicenter of everything<br />
that makes the wine country so desirable, the luxurious ten-room inn sits on its own private,<br />
one-acre, secluded park. It is bordered by Napa Creek and nestled beneath towering redwoods.<br />
Here, a spacious pool/cabana is surrounded by meticulously landscaped flowering shrubs, bushes<br />
and rock gardens. Noticeable sounds are birds and rustling leaves.<br />
Originally designed for an active family’s enjoyment, Candlelight Inn is now a private retreat for<br />
discriminating visitors to the wine country. Many guests, who were smitten by that first impression,<br />
now return year after year to relax and renew their enjoyment of all the region offers. On each visit,<br />
there is more to do. In recent years, Napa has become a hub for worldrenowned<br />
chefs, and each year brings more restaurant openings. At the<br />
inn, guests can enjoy complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres as well as<br />
snacks and drinks at all hours. A three-course breakfast featuring local<br />
and seasonal foods is served each morning. Most rooms have a deck or<br />
balcony, a two-person marble Jacuzzi tub and a fireplace. All have air<br />

24th annual passport to dry creek valley® returns<br />
One of California’s most beloved and<br />
historic wine tasting traditions returns this<br />
April, luring discerning wine lovers to<br />
Sonoma County’s pristine Dry Creek Valley<br />
April 27th and 28th (Saturday and Sunday)<br />
from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Now in its 24th<br />
year, Passport to Dry Creek Valley is the<br />
premiere wine and food event of its kind,<br />
offering an exceptional regional experience<br />
that blends epicurean thrills at more than 50<br />
wineries with fun, festive décor and live entertainment – all within<br />
minutes of charming downtown Healdsburg.<br />
A Modern Tradition with Century-Old Roots, Passport to Dry<br />
Creek Valley is a popular tradition among wine lovers who enjoy a<br />
world-class tasting experience with a festive atmosphere, all within<br />
idyllic, picturesque Dry Creek Valley. Passport-holders will savor<br />
exquisite food and wine pairings, and delight in discovering each<br />
winery’s unique Passport “theme.” Past themes have included The<br />
Tropics, Roaring ’20s, Italian Riviera, Safari; the possibilities are as<br />
varied as the wineries themselves.<br />
Tickets to this event are priced at $120 for a two-day Passport and<br />
$70 for a Sunday-only Passport; they can be purchased starting at<br />
10 a.m. on February 1 at www.wdcv.com. The<br />
event sells out quickly so early purchase is<br />
recommended. Overnight<br />
accommodations are available throughout<br />
quaint, upscale Healdsburg, located just<br />
minutes from Dry Creek Valley’s wineries.<br />
Healdsburg offers many art galleries,<br />
world-renowned dining and lodging, and<br />
laid-back local charm. Guests can enjoy<br />
Passport to Dry Creek Valley festivities by day<br />

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

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

Mardi Gras celebration in Northern<br />
California than what we have done over the<br />
past two years, and it just keeps getting<br />
better,” said Tom Meadowcroft, owner and<br />
winemaker of Meadowcroft <strong>Wine</strong>s. “When it<br />
comes to the food, the music, the parade and<br />
the crowning of our King and Queen of<br />
Mardi Gras, this is as close to a Louisiana<br />
celebration as you can get.”<br />

party is $50 per person in advance and $60<br />
per person beginning February 1, and $40<br />
per person for Meadowcroft <strong>Wine</strong> Club<br />

“Book and Bottle” package<br />
includes signed bottle by Ben Flajnik, winemaker and star of the Bachelor.<br />
Publisher announces book launch event at envolve <strong>Wine</strong>ry on February 16.<br />
Chelsea Print & Publishing (CP&P), in partnership with Envolve <strong>Wine</strong>ry have<br />
announced an exclusive Valentine’s Day gift package in anticipation of innovative publisher’s<br />
national release of Rock and Vine book on February 12.<br />
The offer is only available through February 8, and a portion of the proceeds will be<br />
donated to Rock and Vine’s charitable partner, <strong>Wine</strong> to Water (www.winetowater.org).<br />
The Valentine’s Day gift package includes a bottle of Envolve <strong>Wine</strong>ry’s 2011 Sonoma Mountain Rosé,<br />
signed by winemaker and reality television show star Ben Flajnik, and Rock and Vine coffee table<br />
book.<br />
Through stunning visuals and compelling personal stories, Rock<br />
and Vine introduces eleven emerging leaders who are building upon<br />
the legacy of Napa and Sonoma Valley. Envolve <strong>Wine</strong>ry is the book’s<br />
first feature. The 30-year-old entrepreneurial business partners of<br />
Envolve winery – Ben Flajnik, Mike Benziger and Danny Fay – are<br />
building a reputation as rising industry leaders. Originally recognized<br />
in connection to reality television show “The Bachelor” starring<br />
Flajnik, Envolve is known for its diverse portfolio of Biodynamic ®<br />
wines and commitment to the community of Sonoma Valley. Rock and<br />
Vine shares Flajnik, Benziger and Fay’s experiences before and after the<br />
launch of Envolve, with a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges<br />
and triumphs of a new venture.<br />
Edited by Master of <strong>Wine</strong> Christy Canterbury and with<br />
photography by Mary Steinbacher, each chapter of Rock and Vine<br />
creates a memorable connection to the everyday lives of next<br />
generation changemakers who are pursuing change in a radically<br />
different world than their parents and grandparents.<br />

valentine’s dinner at st. francis winery, feb. 14<br />
Make Valentine’s Day memorable with a very special dinner at<br />
St. Francis from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Celebrate with great wine and food as<br />
Executive Chef David Bush creates an exquisite menu for you and<br />
your special someone. Share an intimate candlelit experience, with<br />
each tantalizing course expertly paired with St. Francis premium<br />
Artisan Series wines.<br />
Cost is $125 per person, $99 for wine club members (plus tax and<br />
gratuity). Reservations are required.<br />
With so many different options for wine tasting in Sonoma Valley,<br />
it can be difficult to choose one over another. One winery may have<br />
great wine and another may have a beautiful view. For the best of<br />
everything, come to St Francis <strong>Wine</strong>ry & Vineyards.<br />
Start by admiring the majestic view surrounding the Visitor<br />
Center. With its plush foliage, acres upon acres of vineyards and<br />
intricate, Tuscan-inspired architecture, St. Francis <strong>Wine</strong>ry is nothing<br />
short of breathtaking. Sit on the back patio taking in the view nearly<br />
150 acres of estate vineyards as well as the grandeur of Hood<br />
Mountain.<br />
With a number of tasting options, there is a selection of wines<br />
for every palate. The vast majority of St. Francis’ grapes come from<br />
Sonoma Valley, with the rest coming from other top appellations in<br />
Sonoma County, such as Dry Creek Valley and Russian River Valley.<br />
For the ultimate culinary wine adventure, reserve a seat for one<br />
of the winery’s daily wine and food experiences. The winery’s seated<br />
multicourse wine and food pairing is unsurpassed in wine country,<br />
offering what one popular food writer described as “small plates<br />
that rival the kitchen of any Michelin-starred restaurant.” <strong>This</strong> notto-missed<br />
experience costs $38 and pairs five premium wines with<br />
exceptional gourmet foods from the winery’s talented onsite<br />
Executive Chef David Bush.<br />
For a more informal wine and food pairing, St. Francis also<br />
offers the option of relaxing on the outside patio with a glass of<br />
wine or a flight of wines paired with a selection of charcuterie,<br />
featuring local cheeses, housemade patés and rillettes. Availability<br />
varies by season.<br />
Call for information or reservations: 1-888-675-WINE. St. Francis<br />
<strong>Wine</strong>ry & Vineyards is located at 100 Pythian Road, Santa Rosa.<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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