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

Quality <strong>Wine</strong>s All Under $25<br />
at <strong>Wine</strong> Garage, Calistoga<br />
Hidden next to a dilapidated ’40s-era former filling station on Highway 29 in<br />
Calistoga lies the <strong>Wine</strong> Garage. A unique wine shop in Napa Valley that retails all<br />
wine in the store under $25. Sound crazy Its true. And the proprietors Todd and<br />
Joy Miller, have hit on a niche in the Valley that had been very missed by the locals<br />
there.<br />
“There are a lot of winemakers here that can’t afford to drink the wine they<br />
make” says Miller. “That’s crazy, yes, but who can afford to drink a $65 bottle with<br />
dinner every night”<br />
Many people miss the <strong>Wine</strong> Garage on the first try upvalley, but the search is<br />
well worth it. Miller stocks wine from all of California’s wine growing regions<br />
including an large <strong>as</strong>sortment from Napa and Sonoma counties and other California<br />
appellations. When he first sought out buying the initial inventory, “I enlisted<br />
a local farmer buddy and his 15-foot box van and off we went all over California<br />
hunting down the deals. I tried to seek out the small producers who didn’t have<br />
distributors so I could p<strong>as</strong>s the savings on to my customers.” And Miller did just<br />
that. His store is stocked with high-quality juice all under $25 and all are unique.<br />
Most labels in the shop are unrecognizable – but all p<strong>as</strong>s the same test; everything<br />
p<strong>as</strong>ses over Miller’s lips before he makes a buy. “If I don’t love it, I don’t buy it,<br />
period. Sometimes I will t<strong>as</strong>te over a hundred wines in one day, load up the truck<br />
and haul it up to Calistoga, unload at the store, and maybe I will crawl in bed by 3<br />
a.m. Needless to say my buddy bowed out of the deal after their second trip. I<br />
initially recruited him on a ‘hey lets go wine t<strong>as</strong>ting in Santa Barbara’ until he realized<br />
how much work it entailed. Poor guy, he had to be at the farm at 5 in the<br />
morning.”<br />
It is all worth it. Millers’ customers love him. He h<strong>as</strong> a unique ability to hear a<br />
verbal description of a customer’s favorite wine and translate that into a recommendation<br />
for sometimes a third of the cost. “I have people all over the country that use<br />
me <strong>as</strong> their local wine shop. I ship right to their door – and the cost of the shipping<br />
is a drop in the bucket compared to what they save on the cost of the wine.<br />
Miller gets deals on Napa wine too. “I have winemakers from small wineries<br />
stop in every week saying ‘I have something that will fit into the store,’ if they only<br />
have 15 or 25 c<strong>as</strong>es of an end-of-vintage wine – I am the perfect outlet for them.”<br />

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

WINERY FEATURE | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK<br />
Turnbull <strong>Wine</strong> Cellars – Napa Valley<br />
by Abigail P. Zimmerman<br />
The Turnbull name dates back to the early<br />
1300s when a Game Keeper of Robert the<br />
Bruce saved the king’s life by turning away a<br />
ferocious bull that had threatened to gore the<br />
king. The grateful king knighted his subject<br />
“Turnbull” and awarded him a crest featuring<br />
a bull’s head twisted back that h<strong>as</strong> adorned<br />
the wines crafted by this cl<strong>as</strong>sic Napa Valley<br />
<strong>Wine</strong>ry since its founding in 1979 by American<br />
architect William Turnbull.<br />
Turnbull’s wines are all estate grown on<br />
four exceptional ranches. When it comes to<br />
great wine, the secret is to start with the best<br />
fruit. A key component of quality, Turnbull<br />
fruit captures the unique character of the land<br />
that the fruit is grown. To achieve this end,<br />
Turnbull <strong>Wine</strong> Cellars farms with care and<br />
sensitivity so that their wines showc<strong>as</strong>e the<br />
uniqueness of each ranch and each growing<br />
se<strong>as</strong>on.<br />
Turnbull <strong>Wine</strong> Cellars crafts its awardwinning<br />
wines using fruit sourced from estate<br />
vineyards in Oakville and Calistoga. The<br />
diversity of fruit sourcing and exemplary viticultural<br />
work allows their winemaking team<br />
the ability to create wines with distinctive<br />
flavors that capture the personality of each<br />
site. Soils vary from deeper alluvial fans on<br />
the valley floor to the shallow, volcanic and<br />
rocky structures of the hillsides.<br />
The wines at Turnbull <strong>Wine</strong> Cellars are a<br />
reflection of the soils from which they originate.<br />
<strong>Wine</strong>maker Peter Heitz carefully<br />
captures these nuances without overpowering<br />
each varietal’s natural characteristics.<br />
T<strong>as</strong>ting at Turnbull<br />
Turnbull Cellars in Napa Valley offers two<br />
distinct T<strong>as</strong>ting Rooms catering to guests and<br />
their budgets.<br />
Fortunately, each T<strong>as</strong>ting Room offers<br />
Turnbull’s 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, the<br />
label’s signature wine. Famed wine critic<br />
Robert Parker writes “the brilliant 2007<br />
Cabernet Sauvignon is the real deal!”<br />
Produced from predominately Oakville fruit,<br />
the 2007 Cabernet is approximately 75%<br />
Cabernet with the remaining 25% a blend of<br />
premier Bordeaux varietals. Aged for 18<br />
months in French Oak barrels, the 2007<br />
Cabernet is hand-crafted to highlight and<br />
blend the best flavors and arom<strong>as</strong> of Turnbull’s<br />
four estate vineyards. For only $40 per<br />
bottle, this 92 points Cabernet consistently<br />
over-delivers on quality.<br />
Turnbull’s Reserve T<strong>as</strong>ting Room and Art<br />
Gallery is to your left, <strong>as</strong> you enter the<br />
<strong>Wine</strong>ry. <strong>This</strong> cavernous room holds barrels –<br />
floor to vaulted ceiling. For $20 per person,<br />
guests may personally choose four Reserve<br />
wines from Turnbull’s – usually Cabernet –<br />
single vineyard and select rele<strong>as</strong>es.<br />
While visiting the Reserve Room, guests<br />
will be fortunate to experience the Turnbull<br />
2007 Black Label Cabernet ($100). Scoring<br />
94 points from Robert Parker and a glowing<br />
review, he describes this wine <strong>as</strong> “perhaps the<br />
best wine I have ever t<strong>as</strong>ted from Turnbull”<br />
with compelling flavors of “blueberry, blackberry,<br />
c<strong>as</strong>sis, licorice, camphor and graphite.<br />
<strong>This</strong> wine is intense and full-bodied.”<br />
Indeed, the 2007 Black Label Cabernet is<br />
carefully created from the best fruits in single<br />
blocks from Turnbull’s top Estate Vineyards,<br />
Leopoldina, Amoenus and Fortuna.<br />
The winery w<strong>as</strong> designed by Architect<br />
William Turnbull, who had just finished<br />
designing Cakebread, Fisher and Newton<br />
wineries. But when it came to designing his<br />
own winery, Turnbull chose to create a more<br />
low-key, subtle space that w<strong>as</strong> in tune with its<br />
environment.<br />
William Turnbull once said that “you want<br />
to have an image of a winery that cares about<br />
the l<strong>as</strong>t drop of wine in the bottle.” He<br />
certainly created such a place and, today, the<br />
winery still speaks to excellence in wine.<br />
In 1993, Patrick O’Dell purch<strong>as</strong>ed the<br />
winery and renamed it Turnbull <strong>Wine</strong><br />
Cellars. Redesigning the “turning bull” label,<br />
the new rendering draws heavily from decorations<br />
of bulls found on Minoan drinking<br />

vessels. The Turnbull family crest<br />
continues to be embossed on<br />
each label, reflecting the winery’s<br />
respect for the history of this<br />
distinguished family name.<br />
World Cl<strong>as</strong>s Fine Art Photography<br />
Turnbull <strong>Wine</strong> Cellars also<br />
quietly bo<strong>as</strong>ts one of the finest<br />
permanent photography collections<br />
on the West Co<strong>as</strong>t of the<br />
United States. Turnbull displays<br />
two exhibits each year, with<br />
works selected from an extensive<br />
collection.<br />
Each exhibition features 60 to<br />
90 privately owned and original<br />
works by m<strong>as</strong>ter photographers<br />
including Ansel Adams, Edward<br />
Weston, Berenice Abbott,<br />
Edward Striechen and Yousuf<br />
Karsh. Guests in the Reserve<br />
Room are able to explore these<br />
stunning works of art while<br />
enjoying Turnbull’s awardwinning<br />
estate and reserve wines.<br />
Starting April 16, 2011<br />
Turnbull Cellars will present<br />
“Modernism – Photography after<br />
1930.”<br />
Food & <strong>Wine</strong> Education Courses<br />
Turnbull offers private wine<br />
and food pairing courses in their<br />
exclusive VIP Room, set off a<br />
quiet brick patio and garden.<br />
Here guests will not only learn<br />
how wine pairs with certain<br />
foods but how certain wines do<br />
NOT pair well with other foods.<br />
<strong>This</strong> is simply a real education<br />
led by Turnbull’s in-house chef<br />
who creates an ever-changing<br />
menu b<strong>as</strong>ed on se<strong>as</strong>onal and<br />
local ingredients.<br />
Turnbull offers this cl<strong>as</strong>s for<br />
$40. <strong>This</strong> course is exceptional<br />
and requires reservations 72<br />

Rombauer Vineyards<br />
Bringing You the Joy of <strong>Wine</strong> for 30+ Years<br />
Napa Valley wineries have many kinds of<br />
enjoyment to offer, but when you are in the<br />
mood for a day of pure ple<strong>as</strong>ure, when you<br />
want to take joy in the beauty of your<br />
surroundings and the excellence of the wine<br />
you are t<strong>as</strong>ting, then come to Rombauer<br />
Vineyards.<br />
Rombauer is located at the secluded,<br />
northe<strong>as</strong>tern edge of the valley on the<br />
Silverado Trail, a separate world within the<br />
world of Napa Valley. You’ll climb from the<br />
valley floor over a paved driveway that meanders<br />
through a venerable head-trained<br />
Zinfandel vineyard and up into the forest. A<br />
winery in a forest Yes, this question is<br />
answered <strong>as</strong> you approach the winery<br />
perched upon a wooded knoll with views<br />
that look out forever across the lush valley to<br />
the west. You may have the sensation of<br />
coming upon a secret garden here, because<br />
the copious variety of flowers and shrubs<br />
reads like something from a gardening encyclopedia.<br />
Curving gravel walkways bordered<br />
with a riot of colorful plantings lead to picnic<br />
tables under oak trees and a trellised gazebo<br />
with benches and the magnificent valley<br />
views.<br />
Mercifully, Rombauer is not an architectural<br />
grandiosity. In keeping with its serene<br />
and wooded setting, the entry to the t<strong>as</strong>ting<br />
room offers a broad roofed porch with<br />
benches, potted flowers and, again, the<br />
breathtaking views. Inside, three small separate<br />
bars are staffed with low-keyed, friendly<br />
people who want you to enjoy your visit and<br />
some great wines <strong>as</strong> well. Many of these<br />
t<strong>as</strong>ting room folk have been with Rombauer<br />
for many years, and they know almost everything<br />
about the wines, local restaurants and<br />
inns of the valley.<br />
Rombauer Vineyards is celebrated its<br />
30th anniversary l<strong>as</strong>t year <strong>as</strong> a familyowned-and-operated<br />
winery. The secondgeneration<br />
Rombauers, sister and brother<br />
Sheana and Koerner (IIIrd) are dedicated to<br />
maintaining the standards of wine excellence<br />
the family h<strong>as</strong> built up through the<br />
years. Committed to the good wine country<br />
life, they want their visitors to experience<br />
the joy of drinking fine wine with family and<br />
friends. They appear to be doing a good job,<br />
because for the p<strong>as</strong>t two years, Rombauer<br />
h<strong>as</strong> been in the Top Ten of favorite restaurant<br />
wines across the nation, <strong>as</strong> polled by<br />
the respected <strong>Wine</strong> & Spirits Magazine. In<br />
the t<strong>as</strong>ting room, you’ll have the opportunity<br />
to find out why, with a significant<br />
bonus: you can sample several Rombauer<br />
wines that are available only at the winery or<br />
to Joy of <strong>Wine</strong> Club members.<br />
Two current rele<strong>as</strong>es widely available and<br />
of special note are the 2009 Carneros<br />
Chardonnay and the 2008 Fiddletown<br />
Zinfandel. Chardonnay may well still be the<br />
flagship wine of Rombauer, and this vintage is<br />
simply delicious, clean and silky in the<br />
mouth with big peach and sweet apple fruit<br />
notes. The Zinfandel You have to t<strong>as</strong>te it for<br />
yourself – it’s a Zin apart, huge and rich and<br />
packed with sweet fruit and spice.<br />
T<strong>as</strong>ting-room-only wines that you’ll want<br />
to take home with you include Merlot, Atl<strong>as</strong><br />
Peak, Stags Leap and Stice Lane Cabernet<br />
Sauvignons (savor the vineyard differences),<br />
and a proprietary red Bordeaux blend called<br />
Le Meilleur du Chai (The Best of the Cellar).<br />
These wines should make perfect luncheon<br />
companions for your picnic after the t<strong>as</strong>ting.<br />
And for take-home gifts, a duet of 375 ml<br />
(half-bottles) Port made from Zinfandel and<br />
a late harvest Chardonnay dessert wine<br />
called Joy, each in luxe bottles, will definitely<br />
bring joy to the lucky recipient.<br />
Rombauer Vineyards is located at 3522<br />
Silverado Trail, on the e<strong>as</strong>tern side of Napa<br />
Valley, just a few miles north of the happening<br />
town of St. Helena. The Rombauer t<strong>as</strong>ting<br />
room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5p.m.. Call<br />
(707) 963-5170 or go to www.rombauer.com<br />

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

<strong>Wine</strong> <strong>Country</strong>, go to SuisunValleyTheNapaBackroad.com. And<br />

Perfect Pairs BY<br />
ALEXANDRA CHARSLEY<br />
KAIROS CABERNET CAKE<br />
Cake ingredients<br />
• 1 box of devil’s food cake mix<br />
• 1 small box (6 ounce) black cherry gelatin<br />
or (3 ounce) black cherry sugar-free gelatin<br />
• 4 eggs at room temperature<br />
• 1 cup 2007 Judd’s Hill “Kairos” Cabernet Sauvignon<br />
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil<br />
<strong>Wine</strong> Glaze Ingredients<br />
• 2 tablespoons room temperature butter<br />
• 1/2 cup Judd’s Hill “Kairos” Cabernet Sauvignon<br />
• 1 cup powdered sugar<br />
• 1/2 te<strong>as</strong>poon vanilla extract<br />
Kairos Cabernet Cake paired<br />
with the Judd’s Hill 2007<br />
‘Kairos’ Cabernet Sauvignon<br />
There’s nothing new about pairing a lovely Cabernet with chocolate, but<br />
what if it’s a 100% organically grown Cabernet Sauvignon and if the chocolate<br />
just isn’t a small nibble but a simple but luscious chocolate cake T<strong>as</strong>ting room<br />
host extraordinaire Jay Brewner of Judd’s Hill <strong>Wine</strong>ry says, “I’ve always been<br />
known to think outside the box and this is how my recipe for our Kairos<br />
Cabernet Cake came to fruition while incorporating the newly rele<strong>as</strong>ed 2007<br />
Kairos Cabernet Sauvignon.”<br />
The organically farmed and certified Kairos Vineyard is adjacent to the<br />
winery and in 2001 new vines were planted. “We are ple<strong>as</strong>ed to rele<strong>as</strong>e our<br />
first 100% organically grown Cabernet which is filled with vibrant tones of<br />
cherry, r<strong>as</strong>pberry and a d<strong>as</strong>h of rhubarb on the finish. These aromatics are<br />
enhanced in the baking process and enrich the cake with an artisanal elegance.<br />
The cake is balanced with a cocoa creaminess that is complemented with the<br />
savory Cabernet Vanilla glaze. The wine is baked into the cake <strong>as</strong> well <strong>as</strong> incorporated<br />
into the silky glaze that will fulfill your chocolate craving while tantalizing<br />
your palate,” says Jay. <strong>This</strong> cake is so e<strong>as</strong>y to make but t<strong>as</strong>tes so decadent.<br />
While it looks rich and indulgent, it is not overly sweet and that’s why<br />
the Kairos cake pairs so well with the 2007 Kairos Cabernet Sauvignon. After<br />
all, there’s just something about a great chocolate cake perfectly paired with a<br />
gl<strong>as</strong>s of Cabernet to finish any meal.<br />
With only 150 c<strong>as</strong>es of the 2007 Kairos Cabernet Sauvignon produced, this<br />
wine is expected to sell out quickly. It can only be purch<strong>as</strong>ed at the winery or<br />
by visiting www.juddshill.com. Judd’s Hill is celebrating it’s 22nd year of<br />
winemaking and is family owned and operated. Their t<strong>as</strong>ting room located in<br />
Napa is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. by appointment only so be sure to<br />
call ahead, (707) 255-2332.<br />

Directions<br />
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Gre<strong>as</strong>e the Fleur De Lis<br />
Bundt pan with a nonstick cooking spray. Be sure to<br />
gre<strong>as</strong>e the grooves of the pan well to prevent the cake<br />
from sticking.<br />
2. In a large mixer, beat the cake mix, gelatin, eggs,<br />
wine and oil on low speed for 30 seconds. Incre<strong>as</strong>e the<br />
speed to medium and continue to beat for 1 minute.<br />
Occ<strong>as</strong>ionally scrape the bowl to insure all ingredients<br />
are well mixed.<br />
3. Slowly pour the cake batter into Fleur De Lis Bundt<br />
pan. Gently tap the cake filled bundt pan on the<br />
counter to rele<strong>as</strong>e any air bubbles before baking. Bake<br />
on the middle rack of the oven for 40 minutes.<br />
4. Remove the cake from the oven and set it <strong>as</strong>ide to<br />
cool for 10 minutes. Carefully, use a pl<strong>as</strong>tic knife to<br />
loosen the sides of the Bundt pan and invert it onto a<br />
wire cooling rack.<br />
5. While the cake cools, prepare a simple Cabernet<br />
wine glaze. Combine the butter, wine and powdered<br />
sugar in a medium sized pan. Bring all ingredients to a<br />
boil. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/2 te<strong>as</strong>poon<br />
vanilla extract. Set <strong>as</strong>ide to use for drizzling on individual<br />
slices of cake.<br />
Serving Recommendations<br />
1. Garnish cake lightly with sifted powdered sugar.<br />
Clusters of red grapes (sugared, if you like) may be<br />
used <strong>as</strong> additional garnishes.<br />
2. Cut and serve individual slices and add the warm<br />
wine glaze after slice is plated and just prior to serving.<br />
Vanilla ice cream makes a nice accompaniment.<br />

knowledgeable hosts who, without any<br />
posturing, can address any inquiry you might<br />
make about the Napa Valley, wine styles, wine<br />
regions and wine country life And hoping<br />
for unique memories to keep with you even<br />
after the wonderful wines have been taken<br />
home and enjoyed Then Rutherford Hill is<br />
the t<strong>as</strong>ting room experience for you, and it’s<br />
the unique combination of small-rele<strong>as</strong>e<br />
winery-only wines, wine education without<br />
pretense, and mile-long cave tour which<br />
makes it our T<strong>as</strong>ting Room of the <strong>Week</strong>.<br />
There are lots of things which set Rutherford<br />
Hill apart, and the distinction and array<br />
of wine varietals are most certainly two of<br />
them. The winery w<strong>as</strong> founded forty years<br />
ago by grape growers in order to produce<br />
“Quality <strong>as</strong> a way of life,” <strong>as</strong> one of the<br />
winery’s oft-stated phr<strong>as</strong>es puts it best. In<br />
addition to benchmark rele<strong>as</strong>es of Cabernet<br />
Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot and Rosé,<br />
coming to the t<strong>as</strong>ting room provides the only<br />
32<br />
opportunity to t<strong>as</strong>te and purch<strong>as</strong>e a wide<br />
range of limited production wines, including<br />
Cabernet Franc, a Rutherford Cabernet<br />
Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Sangiovese,<br />
Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, a <strong>Wine</strong>maker’s<br />
Blend and a Zinfandel Port. The winery’s<br />
state-of-the-art “winery-within-a-winery”<br />
allows for the production of these limited<br />
rele<strong>as</strong>es, letting its winemakers stretch their<br />
legs a bit and use the new ide<strong>as</strong> and techniques<br />
developed on the winery’s larger<br />
production wines.<br />
Part of the distinction in winemaking<br />
practices is the extent of the cave complex<br />
the winery h<strong>as</strong> built. The cave tour and<br />
t<strong>as</strong>ting show, <strong>as</strong> well, the degree to which<br />
wine education is integrated into all <strong>as</strong>pects<br />
of the winery experience for guests. As hosts<br />
guide visitors throughout the cave system,<br />
they receive an understanding of the way its<br />
design is reflected in the finished wines<br />
produced from within it. Enjoy the sights<br />
and t<strong>as</strong>te fant<strong>as</strong>tic wines on this well<br />
explained subterranean journey. As t<strong>as</strong>ting<br />
room manager, Richard Hurwitz said,<br />
“You’ve had a great experience and you’ve<br />
been creatively educated about what we do.”<br />
For those wanting an even more intimate<br />
discussion of and hands-on appreciation of<br />
what goes into producing some of the world’s<br />
finest small-production wines, there is the<br />
wine-blending cl<strong>as</strong>s, “Blend Your Own<br />
Merlot,” which is led by a winery host and<br />
includes a guided tour of the property, t<strong>as</strong>ting<br />
several wines and discussing the blending<br />
process, and then sitting down in the caves<br />
and creating the blend for the 375mL bottle<br />
of wine you take home with you.<br />
The uniqueness doesn’t end there. After<br />
you’ve toured the winery and learned what<br />
goes into its wine production, Rutherford Hill<br />
offers a final Napa Valley rarity: the ability to<br />
purch<strong>as</strong>e wines and drink them onsite,<br />
enjoying the beautiful view of the Valley floor<br />
from the winery’s Silverado Trail vantage<br />
point. Guests are encouraged to use the picnic<br />
grove after visiting the winery, and there are<br />
plenty of terrific winery-only offerings to<br />
enjoy while there. Come see for yourself what<br />
others have known for forty years – amazing<br />
wines from an amazing perspective!<br />
Visit Rutherford Hill at 200 Rutherford<br />
Hill Road in Rutherford. The t<strong>as</strong>ting room is<br />
open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more<br />

RAS Galleries<br />
Even owner Ronda Schaer could not have<br />
envisioned that her affection for the little<br />
village of Yountville would someday blossom<br />
into a full-blown love affair. “<strong>This</strong> is a town<br />
that you can get your arms around.” Twenty<br />
years ago she did just that. With the opening<br />
of her now famous art gallery, RAS Galleries,<br />
Ronda h<strong>as</strong> embraced her community and<br />
graced it with one of its most successful and<br />
admired businesses.<br />
It w<strong>as</strong> her p<strong>as</strong>sion for art, and gl<strong>as</strong>s in<br />
particular, that moved Ms. Schaer to open a<br />
gallery. “I have always been drawn to gl<strong>as</strong>s.”<br />
But it w<strong>as</strong> the work of American gl<strong>as</strong>s artists<br />
that really captured her heart. Representing<br />
more than two hundred American artists, the<br />
gallery h<strong>as</strong> become one of the premiere<br />
venues in which to experience the drama,<br />
imagery and vision of this artistic medium.<br />
The gallery also features the work of some<br />
extremely gifted fine artists, with original oil<br />
paintings from artists throughout California<br />
and the Pacific Northwest, <strong>as</strong> well <strong>as</strong> the<br />
E<strong>as</strong>tern Seaboard and point in between. The<br />
whimsical chefs of ceramic artist, Cynthia<br />
Hipkiss are also a favorite of collectors.<br />
Says Ronda, “I created RAsgalleries with a<br />
singular focus on Original American Art,<br />
primarily Art Gl<strong>as</strong>s, my personal p<strong>as</strong>sion. And<br />
I’m proud that after twenty years in the same<br />
Yountville, Napa Valley location, the p<strong>as</strong>sion<br />
remains.”<br />
RASgalleries is located at 6540 W<strong>as</strong>hington<br />
Street, next to Bouchon in Yountville and is<br />
open daily from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., Tuesday<br />
by appointment. Phone (707) 944-9211.<br />

For lovers of both great wine and great<br />
food, the location of the Cornerstone Cellars<br />

Yountville could not be more ideal. Reading<br />
down a list of their neighbors is like a stroll<br />
through the Michelin or Zagat dining guides.<br />
If you want to t<strong>as</strong>te some wine, wine you are<br />
unlikely to find elsewhere, than wander off<br />

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

Chef Aken Inside AVIA Kitchen<br />
accompanied by a 2007 Aloxe Corton<br />
• Coq au Vin with baby carrots, pearl onion, and lardon with a<br />
pouring of 2007 Cote de Beaune “Clos du Roi” 1er Cru<br />
• Pain d’espices featuring cheese and golden raisins paired with a<br />
2007 Corton Grand Cru<br />
Domaine Tollot-Beaut, which bo<strong>as</strong>ts 24 hectares near the center of<br />
Chorey-lès-Beaune, belongs to a select band of Côte d’Or domaines in<br />
France. At the helm of the centuries-old Domaine is Nathalie Tollot,<br />
part of Tollot-Beaut’s fifth generation of winemakers who carries on<br />
the family’s tradition of making fine vintages.<br />
Following supper guests can retreat to the inviting Riddling Rack,<br />
AVIA’s signature wine bar featuring a menu of small plates, local wines<br />
and bubbles. A selection of signature cocktails are shaken and stirred<br />
with agave wine, the same plant that produces tequila, <strong>as</strong> well <strong>as</strong> sake<br />
and rice-infused vodka, which results in a smoother, silkier t<strong>as</strong>te and<br />
more flavorful cocktail. Cane rum, sake and additional ingredients are<br />
infused with the chef’s own mixers, created with se<strong>as</strong>onal and local<br />
ingredients.<br />
Those who want to make an evening of it can spend the night<br />
behind the door of one of AVIA Napa’s luxe rooms or suites with a<br />
special discount of 20-percent off best available rates and a complimentary<br />
upgrade at check-in b<strong>as</strong>ed on availability – exclusively for<br />
patrons with Second Sunday Supper Club reservations. Each room is<br />
stylishly appointed with roomy beds, plush bathrooms and a st<strong>as</strong>h of<br />
welcomed amenities.<br />
Reservations are now available for the inaugural Second Sunday<br />
Supper Club taking place on Sunday, March 13 from 5:30 to 7 p.m.<br />
and for upcoming Second Sunday Supper Club dinners: April 10 and<br />
May 15. For reservations, call (707) 224-3900; for room reservations,<br />

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

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

Mark Your Calendars: Lodi School Street <strong>Wine</strong> Stroll, April 15<br />
Ten Life-Size Sculptures by Seward Johnson<br />
will Grace the Streets of Downtown Lodi<br />
The 19th annual School Street <strong>Wine</strong> Stroll<br />
will be celebrated with the arrival of ten lifesize<br />
bronze sculptures created by internationally<br />
known artist, Seward Johnson. The<br />
sculptures will be placed throughout School<br />
Street in the historic area of downtown Lodi<br />
where the <strong>Wine</strong> Stroll takes place. More than<br />
25 Lodi wineries will be pouring their wines<br />
in shops and boutiques on Friday, April 15,<br />
from 6 to 9 p.m.<br />
The City of Lodi, through the Arts in<br />
Public Places Funding, is sponsoring the ten<br />
sculptures to be placed on School Street in<br />
downtown Lodi from April 15 to July 15,<br />
2011. Lodi Arts Advisory Board Member<br />
Roger Stafford said, “<strong>This</strong> is an opportunity<br />
for the Art in Public Places Committee to give<br />
to the City of Lodi an interactive form of art<br />
that will be fun and educational. <strong>This</strong> art<br />
display also provides an attraction to the<br />
downtown for Lodi residents of all ages and<br />
their out of town visitors.”<br />
The public art exhibit will feature the lifesize<br />
sculptures off world-renowned artist,<br />
Seward Johnson. One of America’s most<br />
beloved sculptors, Johnson recreates life in<br />
our times in vividly realistic bronze. At 80,<br />
Johnson h<strong>as</strong> been sculpting life-like figures<br />
for over 30 years, many of which are nestled<br />
into the landscapes of public parks and<br />
private estates. His sense of humor, and affection<br />
for people, is evident in all of his works<br />
from the little girls reluctantly sharing an icecream<br />
cone, to the tenderness of a mother<br />
reading to her young child. “What I’m trying<br />
to do is draw attention to the simple ple<strong>as</strong>ures,<br />
to show how much fun life is. That is<br />
why there are so many humorous details in<br />
my work.” Johnson captures moments for us.<br />
He holds up a mirror for our reflection, and it<br />
is ultimately one that will make us smile at<br />
ourselves. Details and photos of the complete<br />
collection can be found at www.sewardjohnson.com.<br />
The sculptures are on loan from The<br />
Sculpture Foundation, a charitable and<br />
educational organization dedicated to<br />
providing exhibitions and landmark public<br />
artworks for communities. Director of the<br />
Foundation, Paula Stoeke notes, “The Foundation<br />
is delighted to share these sculptures.<br />
We hope that the community will embrace<br />
the artwork and integrate the event into the<br />
fabric of Lodi, from the cl<strong>as</strong>srooms to the<br />
dinner table conversations.”<br />
During the School Street <strong>Wine</strong> Stroll, Lodi<br />
Appellation wineries will be paired with<br />
merchants for an evening of wine, food, shopping<br />
and entertainment. Guests can t<strong>as</strong>te<br />
award-winning wines, meet the vintners and<br />
enjoy appetizers provided by hosting<br />
merchants. Lodi wineries will share their<br />
special wines and are on hand to discuss their<br />
vintages. Tickets are $30 in advance, $40 at<br />
the event; designated driver tickets are $10 in<br />
advance or $15 at the event. Lodi hotels are<br />
offering special discounts for overnight visits.<br />
For additional information or to purch<strong>as</strong>e<br />
tickets, call (209) 367-7840, ext. 100 or visit<br />

of micro-climates and dramatic mountain terrain that define the<br />
region. The marine influence and distinctive soils create intensely<br />
concentrated fruit that yields some of the most complex and ageworthy<br />
Pinot Noir in the world. There are six sub-area’s in this winegrowing<br />
appellation- each bearing their own characteristics in their<br />
wine.<br />
Sunday, March 27, from 2 to 5 p.m. the Grand Cruz T<strong>as</strong>ting at Villa<br />
Ragusa in Old Town Campbell will showc<strong>as</strong>e more than 60 Pinot<br />
Noirs paired with gourmet hors d’oeuvres from some of the region’s<br />
best restaurants. Tickets are $55 in advance, $65 at the door.<br />
Saturday, March 26, Pathway to Pinot Paradise offers a self-guided<br />
tour of the region’s Pinot-producing wineries. Barrel t<strong>as</strong>ting, library<br />
wines and special offerings by participating wineries will be available.<br />
Visitors can enjoy exploring the incredible mountain terrain and<br />
co<strong>as</strong>tal roads <strong>as</strong> they discover the delightful world of the Santa Cruz<br />
Mountains. Tickets are $25.<br />
Santa Cruz Mountains winegrowers invite Pinot lovers to “Take the<br />
Acid Test” at the 7th annual Pinot Paradise Technical Session on<br />
March 27.<br />
Attendees at this year’s session will discover the many positive<br />
influences of the unique acid components in Santa Cruz Mountains<br />
AVA Pinot Noir. The session will delve into the origins of natural<br />
acidity levels in the fruit and wine and how these contribute to the<br />
age- worthy, food-friendly, legendary Pinot Noirs for which the Santa<br />
Cruz Mountains are known.<br />
Keynote speakers are Dr. Roger Boulton, Professor and Chair of<br />
the Enology Department of Viticulture and Enology Agriculture and<br />

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