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 rby Len NapolitanoWhy should I smell wine before I taste it?A wine’s aroma is mostly responsible for what you taste. Trysipping wine while holding your nose closed and you’ll find that ithas virtually no taste at all. The little bit of flavor that you get withyour nose closed is because the wine’s aroma has entered your nasalcavity through your mouth.A wine’s aroma originates from chemical molecules in a gaseousstate that rise from the surface of the wine. Even in smallconcentrations, we are able to detect the presence of these moleculesin the form of distinct fragrances.Every individual aroma that we can identify in a wine, and thus,every flavor we perceive, is actually a chemical compound. These arecompound groups such as alcohols, aldehydes and esters. They havenames like ethyl acetate, benzoic aldehyde and piperonal. An offsmellingwine with the aroma of rotten eggs actually has excessivehydrogen sulfide.When sniffing and tasting wine, concentrate on the individualaromas that make up a wine’s overall impression. Wine is warmed asit enters the mouth, which releases the aromas that travel up apassage in the back of the mouth. The membranes along this routeare what perceive the aroma as either pleasant or foul and enable youto identify a specific aroma.The next time you want to impress someone with your winetasting aptitude, take a sip of Chardonnay with flavors of honey,butter and nuances of hazelnut and then declare how much you loveits balance of phenyl-ethylic acids and undecalactones. You will beadmired more for your skills at pronunciation than wine tasting.Len Napolitano lives in San Luis Obispo County and is certified in wine by the Society of Wine Educators,Wine & Spirits Education Trust and Chicago Wine School and continually gains knowledge from his frequent contactwith California winemakers.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK20MERRYVALE VINEYARDS1000 Main Street, St. helena, cA 94574(707) 963-7777 | www.merryvale.comfollow Merryvale on facebook and twitterWINERY FEATUREMERRYVALE VINEYARDSLots of Possibilities at the Very Merry Winery!BY JoSh SteinMerryvale is unique in several ways. It was the first winery built in the Valleyafter the repeal of Prohibition (known then as Sunny St. Helena), and it put ashot into the arm of the domestic wine business, letting the country know thatProhibition hadn’t shut anything down in wine country. Equally, most wineries,not just in Napa but throughout the world, tend to be in less-than-easy locationsto reach, which makes sense given the necessity of having grapes in locationsideal for them rather than humans and the ability to process those grapes closeat hand. However, being in the city grants much easier access, not just to thewinery but to the world-reknowned restaurants, shops, and community withineasy walking distance. What greets visitors now are beautifully landscapedgrounds, a glorious fountain, and a building which proudly shows off how longit’s been around, surrounded by the mid-Valley and its glorious views.The Schlatter family has created a tasting cellar which, befitting its links toNapa’s origins, shows off fir and redwood with lots to look at on the walls as youtaste and wander around or sit at a table; the option of cheeses to pair with thewines is available, too, and adds a nice touch. Visitors can also choose privatetastings in the Barrel Room, and there are often special events in the Cask Room,which shows off the history of Valley winemaking via two stories of century-old2,000 gallon aging casks.The wines are produced in different tiers, and as befits a winery with thismuch pedigree, there are lots of great options.

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK26MONTICELLO VINEYARDSopen daily from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.reserve tasting by advance reservation(707) 253-2802Wine@corleyfamilynapaValley.comwww.corleyfamilynapaValley.comTHE CORLEY FAMILY’SMONTICELLO VINEYARDSNo matter how long you’ve lived in or visited wine country, it’s still a challenge to visitall the wineries, right? You develop a list of favorites that you must visit every trip andthere’s only so much time… That’s why it’s always a thrill to discover a new favorite, or anold favorite, as you will when you drop in at 40-year-veteran Monticello Vineyards on BigRanch Road in Napa.A Dream Takes RootIn 1969, the Stanford-educated Corley was a running successful publicly tradedcompany in Los Angeles, but wanted to trade his three-piece suit for overalls. After all,farming was in his blood. “Every generation of my family for 400 years has been farmers.As a boy, I loved spending time on my grandfather’s farm in southern Illinois. I just alwayswanted to get back to farming.”At the time, Corley’s friend, a wine shop owner in Los Angeles, was developing a pieceof property in Yountville. He invited Corley to come for a visit, and Corley was hooked andhe came with the spirit of a pioneer, intent on finding some land to grow his favorite varietals.“I would come up nearly every weekend for nine months to see what was going onhere. I would just roam around, get to know people, ask questions. There weren’t manypeople around, but the ones who were,” as Corley ticks off the names of contemporaryNapa Valley pioneers, “were very helpful.”A self-described “Burgundy guy” with a taste for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Corley waslooking for a place where those varieties would thrive. He found it in an 80-acre pruneorchard at the southern end of Napa Valley. He liked the property’s proximity to the coolingwww.WineCountryThisWeek.com

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINE COUNTRY NEWSContinuedbreezes of the San Pablo Bay, and the fact that it sat next to the NapaRiver. “I didn’t think of being on Highway 29 to capture visitors, Iwanted to be on the river because I knew access to water would beessential.”Once the property was cleaned up, Corley didn’t cut cornersplanting the vineyard. “We used all of the new technology coming outof Davis. We tested the soil everywhere, and we drilled holes in theground to see how the water was flowing. Then we planted the vinescloser together than most people were doing in those days to stressthem.”Jay Corley was a grower only until 1980, when he hired a winemakerand started to produce wine, too. Jay Corley has since passedthe reins of the vineyards and winery to three of his sons: Kevin, winegrowerand president; Stephen, who oversees marketing and administration;and Chris, the winemaker.The Next GenerationThings went well enough those first years to make Corley think,“we can do this.” Soon the successful winegrower wanted to build awinery. As a graduate student years earlier, Corley had written a thesison starting up a winery. He opened his desk drawer, dusted off the oldthesis and got started.All seven of Corley’s children helped out at the winery during theirhigh school years. But Corley encouraged them to go off, experiencethe world outside of the winery where they had grown up, and thencome back if they wanted. Kevin Corley, now Winegrower and President,became a successful banker in Los Angeles. Stephen Corley,now the winery’s Director of Sales and Marketing, was a CPA whoworked at the accounting firm KPMG before he came back to thewinery in 1997.Chris Corley, the youngest of the three, has worked at the winerythe longest. Initially aiming to be a marine biologist, Chris eventuallydecided he would “rather drown in wine than sea water.” He workedin the cellar under other winemakers for 13 years before he earnedenough stripes to become head winemaker in 2002.Now the three brothers form a harmonious management team atMonticello. “Three of them is better than one of me,” says the seniorCorley.In the quaint, rustic tasting room, the staff pours either their“Monticello Vineyards Tasting” or their “Corley Reserve Tasting” – youcan do both and have a little bit of almost everything the Corleysproduce from their estate vineyards in Napa Valley. The real treat is toget downstairs in “The Cellar of The Jefferson House” and taste in “TheLibrary” or “The Reserve Room.” Also, guests at Monticello often get achance to do some “barrel tasting on the fly,” during weekends (Friday,Saturday and Sunday) before noon with a comparative sampling ofCabernet Sauvignon from three different estate vineyards.The Corleys love to tailor tastings to their guests’ preferences (withappropriate advance notice), so don’t be shy about telling them whatyou like. They also like to show off their library and library wines in a“vertical” format. Slip into the comfortable black leather chairs andenjoy a flight of Cabernet Sauvignon, some Merlot or their verypopular Corley Proprietary Red Wine.The Jefferson ConnectionJay Corley was a great admirer of Thomas Jefferson, who was notonly a founding father but also America’s first great connoisseur. Hehonored the third President by naming the winery Monticello Vineyards– after Jefferson’s mountaintop home in Charlottesville, Virginia.In 1984, the Corleys built the Jefferson House, a very close replica ofMonticello, on the Home Ranch that is now used as office space andto entertain guests. The four acres of grounds surrounding theJefferson House are comprised of the same trees, shrubs and flowersThomas Jefferson planted at Monticello.Sign up for our email newsletter at www.WineCountryThisWeek.com27

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK28CHATEAU ST. JEANopen daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.8555 Sonoma highwa,y Kenwood, cA 95452(707) 833-4134 | www.chateaustjean.comWINEMAKER PROFILE: CHATEAU ST. JEANMARGO VAN STAAVERENBY MiKe hYlAnDMargo Van Staaveren doesn’t have a very long resume. In fact, I would be surprised if sheever had one. Margo has been spent her entire wine industry career, 32 years – including thelast ten as winemaker, with Chateau St. Jean. The Marin County native led a somewhatnormal life growing up in Terra Linda, graduating high school and then enrolling at U. C.Davis, “not for the winemaking courses, but I eventually fell into it,” says Margo VanStaaveren, and quickly adds, “the degree that was being offered back then wasn’t inwinemaking but in Fermentation Science. Now it’s called Enology.”What really got her hooked was working a harvest that her dad had signed her up for atBeringer Vineyards. In addition to picking the grapes, Margo would check the brix and tendto everything else that was related to the harvest. And shortly after receiving her Davis degree,she joined Chateau St. Jean as a lab technician and never looked back.Her first day on the job she met her future husband as they were both clocking in to beginwork in the vineyard’s lab. Sometime later, they started dating and then they married, bothremaining in the lab at the winery. They both worked their way up the wine ladder to theposition of assistant winemakers, and had time to raise a family as well.Husband, Don Van Staaveren, was named winemaker and eventually created the 1996Cinq Cepages, a unique blend that totally blew away the wine industry when it was releasedin 1999. Wine Spectator named the 1996 Chateau St. Jean Cinq Cepages the Wine of theYear, the very first Sonoma County wine ever to receive the distinction. As assistantwinemaker, Margo, too, was part of the team that brought home the glory to Chateau St. Jean!Soon after creating the wine, Don Van Staaveren left to work as winemaker at ArtesaWinery. Presently, he creates wines for Three Sticks Wines in Sonoma. In August of 2003, itwas Margo’s turn to become winemaker. “They offered and I took it,” says Margo. “The kidswere older and it made a lot of sense for me.”As winemaker, Margo makes the final decisions involving the blend and the style tocontinue to produce consistently high quality wines. “I believe that great wines are grown,”she says, “and we are very proud of our vineyard designated wines, utilizing the best fruitwith exceptional varietal character.”With the myriad of decisions that need to be made as winemaker such as when to pick thegrapes, what to blend, how long to barrel, when to bottle, how long to keep it in the bottle;and when you are making some 40 different wines for a company the size of Chateau St. Jean,there are a lot of decisions to be made.Some of the newer vintages that will be released before too long include a Malbec Reserve,a Cold Creek Chardonnay and a Russian River Pinot Noir, which, Margo says, “is a multivineyardwine that we are trying for the first time.”At present, Margo and her staff are working on several wines that will be released nextsummer such as the 2011 Fume Blanc. “We’re also blending some reds – a Sonoma Cabernetand a Sonoma Merlot,” says Margo. “Blending goes on around here all year long. We’re alsotasting though the last vintage wines and assessing how to put them (blend) together. There isan amazing amount of diversity to what we do here.”One of her favorite aspects of her job is being able to create a wine and in a year or two, oreven longer, be able to drink the fruits (no pun intended) of her labors, reliving all that wentinto the making of the wine.“I love all the challenges of the wine business,” Margo says, “but it is important to realizethat first and foremost, this is an agricultural business, which makes it both exciting andhumbling, especially when Mother Nature is involved.”So let’s not worry about that resume that she probably doesn’t have. I don’t think MargoVan Staaveren is going anywhere anytime soon.Follow us on Twitter @WineCountryTW

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK36PEJU PROVINCE WINERYopen daily 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.8466 Saint helena highway rutherford, cA 94573(707) 963-3600 | www.peju.comTASTING ROOM OF THE WEEKPEJU PROVINCE WINERYYou Won’t Want to LeaveBY JoSh SteinPeju is simply unforgettable. It’s no accident that the winery is called PejuProvince, for it presents a world unto itself and tasting experiences unlikeanything else in the Valley. Originally founded in 1982 by Tony and Herta Pejuon thirty acres in Rutherford, Peju is now the responsibility of the secondgeneration, daughters Lisa and Ariana and has expanded its reach to include theone hundred thirty acre Persephone Ranch in Pope Valley, too. The winery iswell known for its highly regarded bottlings of Cabernet Franc, CabernetSauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Zinfandel and severalblends, including the proprietary Provence, a red/white cuvee, and Fifty/Fifty,an equal mix of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the 2009 bottling of whichwas just declared one of “Twelve Napa Standouts” by Wine Spectator with a 91point rating. There are also several tasting-room-only releases perfect for thesummer, including the lovely white Carnival; Peju Pink, with ten percent of itsproceeds funding cancer assistance in the Valley; and the brand new Rosé ofSyrah.It’s not just the wines, by any means, which make Peju unforgettable. Thewinery and its surroundings and the variety of options for experiencing thewines are what truly set Peju apart. Driving down the Sycamore-lined privatelane away from Highway 29 leads to first sight of “the Tower,” the fifty-foot,copper-topped centerpiece which houses the main tasting area, framed on theinside in gorgeous woods and an antique 1906 ten-by-twenty-foot stained glasswindow and on the outside by stone and copper. Surrounding this are thegardens designed by Tony and personally maintained by Herta herself. A CurlyWillow grows next to a koi pond and rocks from the Pope Valley estate dot thearea. The circular courtyard in front of the winery contains a magnificentCamphora tree, ushering you into the experiences which await.And those are the true standouts as even a “regular” tasting at Peju is far andaway anything but regular. The Classic Tasting is conducted in a novelpresentation style, with groups of tasters spending time with an ambassadorwho discusses the wine, winemaking and the winery itself. There is also aPrivate Tasting available several times each morning for those who desire somespecial alone time or for larger groups. Equally, individualizing the experience iswhat Peju is all about, so the “Premier Peju Experiences” give some greatoptions. “Peju Fromage” is a wine and cheese tasting in the Peju Kitchen,bringing great wines together with local artisan cheeses and crackers. “PejuCèpage” presents a private tour of the estate, vineyards and gardens incombination with a barrel tasting of reserve wine. “Peju Privé” is a private,reserve wine tasting of estate grown, limited-release bottlings hosted in thestunning Uluru Room. While all of the Premier Peju Experiences require anadvanced appointment, the winery has thought ahead, and each can be bookedonline through Peju’s website or on VinoVisit.com.And that’s really what makes Peju special – everything has been thoughtfullyconsidered ahead of time, turning even the most common of Napa moments –a tasting of wines in a tasting room – into a special, memorable, uncommonevent. Come on out to Rutherford and experience what’s made Peju unique forthirty years. You won’t be sorry, and you really won’t want to leave. Enjoy!Follow us on Twitter @WineCountryTW

It was the highlight of our trip as always. The new releases are fantastic and we lookforward to our wines arriving at our doorstep soon. Thanks again to the “Rock Star of NapaValley” (from Bebe :) ) and the gang.BY chArleS neAVeAt Frank Family Vineyards, you might want to come for the history of theplace, which goes back over a 125 years, back to 1884, when it was LarkmeadWinery. Or, you might want to see the beautifully restored, multi-room tastingroom set amidst the expansive manicured lawn with its rose bushes, toweringold oaks and trimmed hedges, near the barrel cellar and the century-old nativesandstone winery building. But, what do people from all over the world reallycome for? For the outstanding wine poured by some the friendliest people youwill find anywhere. The motto at Frank Family has long been “You’ll never havebetter wine ... or a better time” and that is accurate, though perhaps a bit of anunderstatement. If you don’t leave there with a smile on your face, after havingtasted an outstanding roster of wines, then I worry about you.While the winery’s setting is exceptional, even more-so are the wines theyproduce, age and pour. There are legions of loyal wine lovers who will mostenthusiastically attest to that. This group may not qualify as a full-blown cult,but they are pretty close and they are international in scope, joined by their loveand respect for this winery. So, on second thought, maybe it’s more a matter ofpeople joined together by a discerning palate and good taste.Having sent scores of people there, and having escorted friends from a dozencountries to this property over the last couple of decades, I have yet to hearanything but praise. One friend from Boston comes to the Napa Valley twice ayear for two reasons: to go out to eat and to visit the tasting room at FrankFamily. Not necessarily in that order.With so many wines with a Robert M. Parker, Jr. score of 90 or above, it ishard to know where to begin. But if I were to go there today – which, now thatI think of it, is a pretty good idea – I would certainly consider the ReserveChardonnay and the Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. Their Chardonnay hasalways been a favorite wine for virtually everyone, even people who vow thatthey only drink reds. As a wine to have with food, or simply by itself, it is in aleague of its own.Frank Family red wines are the measure of what red wines should be. Inaddition to the Reserve Cab there is the dense, spicy Zinfandel – where the fruitseems to combine dark chocolate and cracked black pepper notes with anessence of raspberry – to create a wine that fairly explodes in the mouth.Also available are a Reserve Petite Sirah; the Reserve Pinot Noir; anotherperpetual favorite, the very food-friendly Rutherford Reserve Sangiovese; and anindescribable Winston Hill Red Wine. Then, add to that, the collection ofsparkling wines, a Late Harvest Chardonnay and the often sold out ZinfandelPort. It all combines to make for some of the most sought after, most covetedand most honored wines on the planet.The stewardship of the historic property is now the responsibility ofHollywood icon Richard Frank, recipient of an Emmy for lifetime achievement.As chairman of Walt Disney Television, president of Walt Disney Studios foralmost ten years, and president of the Paramount Television Group, he expectsperfection at the winery that bears his name and it shows up in every shiningfacet of this historic property.As legendary tasting room manager Dennis Zablosky, an icon in his ownright says, “I want visitor’s memories of the winery to be as much about theirexperience here as the wines they taste.” And so it shall be.42 Follow us on Twitter @WineCountryTW

SONOMA COUNTY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK52WINEMAKER PROFILE: ARROWOOD VINEYARDS & WINERYHEIDI VON DER MEHDENARROWOODVINEYARDS & WINERY‘the cabernet Sauvignon destination in Sonoma Valley.’open daily from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.14347 Sonoma highway, glen ellen, cA 954421-800-938-5170 | www.arrowoodwinery.comemail: hospitality@arrowoodvineyards.com“To me, winemaking is a balance of artistry and science. With every vintage,it is my goal to capture the essence of Sonoma Valley while producing winesworthy of the Arrowood label,” Heidi von der Mehden, Arrowood Winemaker.Heidi’s passion for this region truly comes through the wines she creates.Consumers can experience Heidi’s winemaking philosophies in every bottle ofArrowood wine: Accept the challenges that Mother Nature throws your way;continue learning new techniques to improve the production and quality of wine;and remember to stay true to your style. However, her area of study was far fromthe agricultural mainstay the county has to offer. “My fascination with chemistrybegan in high school,” says von der Mehden. “It led me down an interestingcareer path that took me around the world. But ultimately I knew that my heartwas in Sonoma County.” Upon her return, she put her chemistry background towork in the wine industry. Her career began in Sonoma Valley at Kenwood whereshe worked for four harvests. During this time Heidi became very familiar withthe different vineyards and developed great relationships with the growers in thearea – something that would prove very beneficial years later. She eventually leftSonoma Valley to continue her career in the winemaking field.In 2007, Heidi had the opportunity to come back to Sonoma Valley when shejoined Arrowood Winery as Assistant Winemaker. “I was drawn to this winerybecause it brought me back to the valley where I started my wine career,”remarked Heidi. “It also gave me the opportunity to work closely withWinemaster Richard Arrowood and learn from his more than 40 years ofwinemaking experience.” This successful partnership led to von der Mehdentaking over as Head Winemaker in 2010. How will she continue the legacy ofArrowood while making her own winemaking mark? First, by staying true to theArrowood style that has won the winery critical acclaim and fans all over theworld. And second, by continuing to learn, improve and evolve the winemakingprocess. One additional perk – unlike many chemists, Heidi gets to experiencethe fruits of her labor with every new release.As a Sonoma Valley Winemaker, Heidi knows the hidden varietal gem of theregion – Cabernet Sauvignon. She explains, “The Mayacamas Mountains and theSonoma Mountain areas produce outstanding concentrated fruit. Many wineconsumers don’t realize the number of fabulous Cab vineyards that exist minutesfrom the winery.” And with over nine current releases available in the tastingroom, Arrowood is the Cabernet Sauvignon destination in Sonoma Valley. Whenasked which new Cabernet Sauvignon release she is most excited about:“Definitely the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon, Réserve Spéciale. I just finishedblending it. ’09 was a great vintage. This Réserve is the epitome of Sonoma Valleyelegance with refined tannins – a classic Arrowood Cab. It’s going to be so good.”When she’s not walking the vineyards, blending barrels or analyzing wine,Heidi can be found in the Arrowood Library Room reviewing vintages datingback to 1985. “There is so much Arrowood history in this Library. It’s thrilling tosee how the winery has evolved over the past 27 years while remaining true tothe passion that built this label.”Come to experience a vertical flight of Arrowood’s flagship CabernetSauvignon – the Réserve Spéciale available every weekend in May. As theycelebrate the newly released 2007 you will have the opportunity to tryArrowood’s 2005, 2006 and 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, Réserve Spéciale.Each vintage highlights the Arrowood legacy and commitment to making thebest Cabernet in Sonoma Valley.www.WineCountryThisWeek.com

Originallydesigned to be the home of its founder, Steve Ledson and his family,Ledson was talked out of that idea by his construction supervisor whosuggested making it into a showplace for his wines.The Castle was designed by Ledson with construction startingaround 1994. Set among established vineyards as well as some just afew years old, the building was completed and a grand opening held inJuly of 1999. Guests and locals alike came to marvel at not only thebuilding’s gothic-appearing exterior, but at all of the attention to detailthroughout.“I think we made the right decision to turn the building into a winetasting experience,” says winemaker and owner Steve Ledson. “Itended up taking some 18 months to get all the approvals needed tomake it a commercial building, but in the end it was time well spent,and I’ve been having a ball in here ever since.”The 16,000-square-foot manse houses seven tasting bars and suites,a gourmet marketplace featuring the best foods Sonoma Valley has tooffer, picnic grounds, wedding facilities and so much more. “Forspecial events, there is a full kitchen, private dining rooms, a full staff, asommelier and the chef from the Ledson Hotel in Sonoma available totake a special event and make it into an extraordinary event,” saysLedson.The tasting room staff is extremely knowledgeable on all of the 80+wines in the Ledson portfolio, and more often than not, you may evenend up talking wine with Steve Ledson, who relishes seeing wine loversenjoying his wines as well as his hospitality in The Castle. “We’re not inbusiness just to pour wine,” we want you to have the best tastingexperience possible, Ledson says, “our tasting room staff is an incrediblegroup of professionals with many years of wine and hospitalityexperience. Many of them have been with me for 10 to 12 years.“From day one, our goal has always been to make great wines,present them in the best possible manner, and have our guests trulyenjoy their experience when they are here,” Ledson says. “We wantpeople to experience the grounds; the picnic area, or come for a privatetasting overseen by one of our sommelier’s or in some cases, even me.”No novice to the wine business, Steve Ledson’s family has beenfarming and growing grapes in the Sonoma Valley for more than 150years. From the mid-1800s to Prohibition, his ancestors were alsowinemakers. While they stopped making wine after Prohibition, theycontinued to be a source of grapes for many other wine makers in theValley. Ledson picked up the winemaking mantle in the 1990s and hascarved his name on the barrel that also bears the names of hiswinegrowing forefathers. It’s a family tradition.Follow us on Twitter @WineCountryTW

SAN FRANCISCOROAD CLOSEDAVENUE DAVENUE EROAD CLOSEDAVENUE HAVENUE IAVENUE MAVENUE NOAKLANDWine Tasting onTREASURE ISLANDCome Discover the Hidden Treasuresby Robert Amox, Proprietor & VintnerKNIGHTSWOOD VINEYARDS & WINERY AND BODEGA WINE ESTATESOne of the most often-asked questions winery visitors ask is someform of, “Why Treasure Island?” It has not been a direct route fromthe pastoral vineyards of Sonoma County to the former Naval basewith its curious blend of peaceful avenues, transitional ghost buildingsand stunning views of every San Francisco landmark. Doing thesame thing as everyone else is seldom the path for me. Not only do Ilisten to a different drummer, I’ll probably make his drum different,too. Instead of opening yet another winery in Sonoma County, I wasdrawn in by the unique location and environment. No one hadattempted to make wine here, but re-utilizing these buildings withthe correct infrastructure already in place was a great opportunity. Ico-founded the first multi-winery property on the Island, then splitoff to establish Bodega Wine Estates in another building that becameavailable.My love affair with wine and food developed over many years.Never content with being a bystander, my journeys led me to learnto cook, grow grapes and make wine. It is a process in motion,always seeking the best out there – learn from the best, source thebest and make the best. I am always lookingto combine the timeless trinity of food, wineand friends. The “Bodega” (Spanish for“cellar”) provides a vehicle for these passionsand to share them with others. Besides mywinery, Knightswood, I provide space in theBodega for other artisan winemakers.A visit to the comfortably appointedtasting room provides our guests with an unhurried, welcomingexperience as well as a range of wines to sample and purchase. Onany afternoon, one can expect a warm greeting from our group. Terriis a delightful hostess and multi-lingual expatriate who spent manyyears living in Madrid, Spain. She provides much of the inspirationbehind the designs and events. A dog-friendly place, Bentley theBasset Hound can often be seen resting on a Persian rug requestingyour attention, and there is always a winemaker nearby to chat withyou or even provide a tour. There are often fun events, featuringfood, music and of course wine. Some are exclusive to wine clubmembers so be sure at ask about what’s coming.Venture out to Treasure Island, at 13th Street and Avenue I, anddiscover the gems in Bodega’s treasure trove!TREASURE ISLAND WINERIESBODEGA WINE ESTATES751 13th Street at Avenue i, treasure island, San franciscofri, Sat and Sun from 1 to 6pm, 415-525-4154Free tasting for two with adA collection of family wineries – the venue promises a truly uniqueand enjoyable wine tasting experience with spectacular views of theCity.
