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 />

BY JOSH STEIN<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 />

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 />

Continued<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 />

eNewsletter with news articles, member stories, recipes, discounts<br />

and special offers at selected wineries and more.<br />

Only available at winery. Not applicable online. Offer expires 06/30/2013.<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 />

Member, Les Clefs d’Or USA<br />

WCtW: If you were to visit just one winery, which<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 />

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 />

ACACiA viNeYARd<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 />

WiNe CoUNtRY NeWs | WiNe CoUNtRY tHis WeeK<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 />
