WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEKwww.WineCountryThisWeek.com9

Since September, wineries in California and throughout theNorthern Hemisphere have been engaged in their most critical tasks ofthe year. The decisions they make during this busy period of four toeight weeks will play an important role in how their wines will performwhen released to the public a year from now, in the case of many whitewines, and up to four years from now for full-bodied red wines.While temperatures rose in spring and summer, grapes becamesweeter, while their acidity and tartness decreased. In August, winemakerschecked the concentration of sugar in the grapes at least oncea day, waiting for the optimum time to take grapes from the vines andbegin the winemaking process.Picking grapes early will mean a little higher acidity in the wine anda lower alcohol level. However, if picked too soon, some unwantedflavors and off-odors could end up in the final wine. Wait too long topull the grapes and the winemaker runs the risk of fermenting overripegrapes that leave too high a level of residual sugar in the wine, orproduce too high a level of alcohol, creating an unbalanced wine.In addition to checking the sweetness in the grapes, the phenoliccompounds must also be mature enough for picking. These are thechemical compounds that produce the wine components of color,tannin and flavor.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 NapolitanoWhat Happens After The Grapes Are Picked?Once picked, red wine grapes areseparated from their stems and gentlycrushed in order to release the juice. For white wines, the grapes arenot crushed, but pressed with the stems still intact so that the juicefrom the grapes can be immediately separated from contact with theskins and pumped into a fermenting vat.A fermenting tank will be filled about three-fourths to the top toallow room for carbon dioxide gas to be released from the juice. Thetemperature of the wine will naturally rise during fermentation and itis critical that the temperature range be controlled carefully. If left to risetoo high, the wine will end up with an unpleasant, burnt flavor.Once the primary fermentation of red wine ends, and more juice issqueezed from the skins through a process called pressing, the juicewill be transferred to another vat, or barrel. With each transfer like this,called “racking”, the wine becomes clearer. Most red wines will settledown in barrels for a period of eight to 24 months before being bottledand released to the public.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 frequentcontact with California winemakers.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINE COUNTRY NEWSQuality Wines All Under $25at Wine Garage, CalistogaHidden next to a dilapidated ’40s-era former filling station on Highway 29 inCalistoga lies the Wine Garage. A unique wine shop in Napa Valley that retails allwine in the store under $25. Sound crazy? Its true. And the proprietors Todd andJoy Miller, have hit on a niche in the Valley that had been very missed by the localsthere.“There are a lot of winemakers here that can’t afford to drink the wine theymake” says Miller. “That’s crazy, yes, but who can afford to drink a $65 bottle withdinner every night?”Many people miss the Wine Garage on the first try upvalley, but the search iswell worth it. Miller stocks wine from all of California’s wine growing regionsincluding an large assortment from Napa and Sonoma counties and other Californiaappellations. When he first sought out buying the initial inventory, “Ienlisted a local farmer buddy and his 15-foot box van and off we went all over Californiahunting down the deals. I tried to seek out the small producers who didn’thave distributors so I could pass the savings on to my customers.” And Miller didjust that. His store is stocked with high-quality juice all under $25 and all areunique. Most labels in the shop are unrecognizable – but all pass the same test;everything passes over Miller’s lips before he makes a buy. “If I don’t love it, I don’tbuy it, period. Sometimes I will taste over a hundred wines in one day, load up thetruck and haul it up to Calistoga, unload at the store, and maybe I will crawl inbed by 3 a.m. Needless to say my buddy bowed out of the deal after their secondtrip. I initially recruited him on a ‘hey lets go wine tasting in Santa Barbara’ untilhe realized how much work it entailed. Poor guy, he had to be at the farm at 5 inthe morning.”It is all worth it. Millers’ customers love him. He has a unique ability to hear averbal description of a customer’s favorite wine and translate that into a recommendationfor sometimes a third of the cost. “I have people all over the country thatuse me as their local wine shop. I ship right to their door – and the cost of the shippingis a drop in the bucket compared to what they save on the cost of the wine.Miller gets deals on Napa wine too. “I have winemakers from small wineriesstop in every week saying ‘I have something that will fit into the store,’ if they onlyhave 15 or 25 cases of an end-of-vintage wine – I am the perfect outlet for them.”So head up to the Wine Garage and check out the best deals in the Valley at1020 Foothill Blvd (Hwy 29), Calistoga, CA 94515.

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEKWine Gadgets Galore Available at Wine HardwareThese days just loving wine isn’t enough. To really get the most outof your wine purchases, you need to aerate, preserve and pamperthose precious bottles. Luckily, the Wine Hardware stores in Sonoma,St. Helena, Walnut Creek and South San Francisco have all the latestand greatest gadgets to complete your wine paraphernalia collection.Most wines can use the “refinement” that comes with allowing airto soften the tannins, and with the use of some new and amazingdevices, the task of aerating can be accomplished nearly instantly.One of the most popular is the Vinturi, a handy little number thatis simple to use and very effective. Billed by its manufacturer asproviding “all the taste, none of the wait,” the Vinturi does the workof a decanter in a matter of seconds. You simply hold the deviceover a glass, pour the wine through it and the Vinturi draws in andmixes the perfect amount of air needed to allow the wine the“breathe” in the blink of an eye. No swirling required. Another interestingaeration tool is the BevWizard. As Elliot MacKay, Wine Hardware’smarketing vice president says, “It makes a two buck chuckinto a ten buck chuck.” With everyone watching their bucks thesedays, this is a wine tool that is seeing a lot of use. The design utilizesmagnets encased in a plastic pouring spout that provide a highintensitymagnetic field that softens tannins and gives even inexpensivewine that silky mouth feel that you get with more priceyvintages. There are many other aeration devices, including a versionfrom Italy called Centellino, as well as the Soiree and the Decantus,just to name a few. All are effective means of insuring that even yourbargain purchases will provide you with a smooth, rich glass ofwine.But suppose that you’ve enjoyed a glass or two of properly aeratedwine and wish to save the rest for later. Wine Hardware has a numberof fabulous new preservation tools that will keep your wines sealedand safe for days, weeks or even months. The Wine Shield is one ofthe newest devices on the market today, offering an inexpensive andyet highly effective way to preserve your opened bottles. This simpleand yet ingenious product will keep wine fresh for up to five days.The uncomplicated beauty of the Wine Shield is amazing. Just slipone of these little plastic discs into your wine bottle and it will floaton top of the wine, creating a barrier between the wine and the airspace in the bottle. At only $6.95 for a pack of ten discs, it is also oneof the less expensive wine preservation tools on the market today. Fora more long lasting preservation system, Wine Saver Pro is a fivebottle, closed Argon wine dispensing system that provides a naturalArgon barrier against oxidation that can last for months.A couple more handy innovations are portable ice buckets, like theKoolVino and the IceBag. These reusable bags are perfect for keepingyour wines chilled when picnicking, at parties or poolside.These and other wonderful new products are great ways in whichto enhance your enjoyment of your wine purchases and make excellentpresents for the oenophile on your holiday gift list.To check out these products or to find a Wine Hardware near you,visit www.winehardware.com.2 for 1 on Any Tastingincluding the Single Vineyard tastingSAVE UP TO $25“Best Boutique Winery& Local Winemaker”two years in a row2867 St. Helena North, St. Helena707-265-5000www.stclement.com18www.WineCountryThisWeek.com

WINERY FEATURE | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEKChateau St. JeanCheck Out the Tasting Seminarsby Richard Paul HinkleRemembering the opening day operators’quandary at Chateau St. Jean’s unveiling stillbrings a hearty chortle to my countenance (asopposed to one of those awful timid chortles).Though the winery was named for thewife of one of the owners – an honest Anglo-American name, Jean – those who answeredthe phones were charged with employing thesuave and subtle French pronunciation at theoutset: “Sha-toe sahnt szhawn.” And peoplewould hang up, saying, “Oh, we were calling‘saint jean.’”That was quickly corrected. What neededno correction, fortunately was the winemaking,then handled by Dick Arrowood,who created an almost mythic identity atChateau St. Jean before moving on to createhis own namesake winery nearby. (ChateauSt. Jean is now owned by Beringer Blass WineEstates, an Australian-based company oncecalled Fosters. Yep, the beer people.)Winemaking today is handledmarvelously by Margo Van Staaveren, who’sbeen with the winery since 1980 (and whosehusband Don was once winemaker). She hasthe experience and wisdom to know thatmost of what happens to create a wine ofdistinction has happened by the time thegrapes hit the crush pad each fall. “It takesgreat vineyards to make great wines,” she sayswith emphasis and authority. “Thirty yearsago, you could find Chardonnay planted nextto Cabernet Sauvignon, despite the fact thatthose varieties have entirely different growingseasons.“We have learned, for example, not togrow Chardonnay in Knights Valley, which isa great place for Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.We have learned that Carneros andRussian River Valley are ideal places for PinotNoir and, curiously, a little Merlot in the rightspots. But you don’t learn those thingswithout testing out your hypotheses. Weespecially know that many of SonomaCounty’s viticultural areas are perfect for theBordeaux varieties, those that go into ourCinq Cépages [the blend that contains thefive primary red Bordeaux varieties andshows off a seamless mélange of cassis,currant, coffee and chocolate].”Pinot Blanc 2008 Alexander Valley,Robert Young Vineyard ($22): This is a winethat often gets overlooked because of itsinherent subtlety. It is not big, it is not bold;it reeks of neither alcohol nor of oak. Butthose are its strengths, really. The elegance ofthe lime, pear and nectarine fruit is nothingshort of exquisite, all the more so for being sodelicate and so refined. Think of this withscallops or scampi or the like. Delicious.Chardonnay 2007 Alexander Valley,Robert Young Vineyard ($25): As usual, thecreamy, thick texture of this wine is evidentfrom the opening sip, along with well-definedlemon fruit at the core of it all. There is thathazelnut and vanillin quality that comes fromthe oak, but it is so artfully interwoven that itall seems of a piece. I like this wine with a filetof sole in a cream sauce, but a grilled vealsteak would do just as nicely.Cinq Cépages 2007 Sonoma County($75): This wine really shows why blendingoffers the best of what a wine can be. You getthe cassis of Cabernet Sauvignon, the violetsfrom Cabernet Franc, the black currant ofMerlot, with subtle hints of mocha and cassis(Malbec) and blackberry-blueberry (PetitVerdot). In concert, well, that is the point –the wine is wholly in concert, in harmony. Ina word, seamless, so much so that you can20 www.WineCountryThisWeek.com

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINERY FEATUREhardly tell where one elementleaves off and another kicks in.That’s the beauty of blending. “Ithink that the oak is beautifullyintegrated in this wine,” says VanStaaveren, “and there is a lushnessthroughout that leads to along and lingering finish.”Couldn’t have said it bettermyself. (The “Cinq,” by the way,was once ranked the top wine inthe world by The Wine Spectator.)The tasting room at ChateauSt. Jean is well-equipped to makevisitors welcome, and help themto find a greater understanding ofthe fruit of the grape. TheChardonnay Seminar on Fridaysat 3 p.m. is a good way to learnabout vineyard differences bytasting the variety from RobertYoung, Belle Terre, Durell andCold Creek vineyards. The staffalso offers a blending seminar onCinq Cepages – you’ll need tophone for an appointment forthat one – where you can fiddlewith all five varieties and createyour own version of this exaltedwine. What could be more fun?Chateau St. Jean is located at8555 Sonoma Highway,Kenwood. Phone (707) 833-4134 for further information, ortry them on the web at chateaustjean.com.The gorgeous gardensand handsomely appointedtasting rooms are open daily 10a.m. to 5 p.m. for tasting andsales. Private wine tastings areavailable daily at 10:30 a.m., 1and 3 p.m.[Hinkle, a founding partner ofThe Wine Spectator, is the author ofnine wine books, including the excellentstarter book, Good Wine: TheNew Basics (Silverback Books, SanFrancisco).

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEKA Hanukkah Hootenanny at Judd’s Hill Wineryby Charles NeaveJudd’s Hill Winery – now entering it’s 21styear – is barely a mile from downtown Napa,and it’s there that Judd Finkelstein and hiswife Holly, both well-respected veterans ofthe wine business in the Napa Valley, crafttheir wines, many of them in small lots andsold only at the winery. They range from anintriguing rosé (when available) all the waythrough a selection of Zinfandel, Merlot,Sauvignon Blanc, Estate Pinot Noir, PetiteSirah, their famous Cabernet Sauvignon andthe Founder’s Art Reserve Cab (only 144cases made).“One of the reasons our Cabernet hasbecome so coveted by people who love wineis its elegant style, a style that showcases thetrue nature of the Cabernet grape,” Judd said.“It’s an approachable wine – in fact we makeall of our wines to be approachable uponrelease, yet they still have enough depth sothat they can be cellared and aged for years.”“A big part of our winemaking philosophyis to let the fruit be the showcase. Ourstyle is to have wines with true varietal characteristicswith just a nuance of the underlyingoak.

Welcome toS U I S U NV A L L E YSuisun Valley – Hidden But Treasured Wine Countryby Charles NeaveFirst, foremost and always, the Suisun Valley in Solano County just25 minutes from Napa, has its roots – often quite literally – in thebusiness and passion of agriculture. And nowhere is that more evidentthan in the rich earth and thriving vineyards and farms of the SuisunValley, the stretch of land that runs to the west of Fairfield and Interstate80, and borders the county of Napa on two sides.Perfectly situated between a pair of coastal mountain ranges, theMount George Range on the west and the Vaca Mountains to the east,this verdant six by two mile valley sits within the Coastal climateregion. It is also an area where fog rarely visits, though it is not farfrom both the Sacramento River delta and San Francisco’s San PabloBay.Set within this compact area are more than 10,000 acres of richfarmland, almost a third of them planted to the grapes that helpsupply the area’s flourishing wineries, and many with a more familiarNapa Valley label. This region is part of the North Coast Appellation,a district famous for what is known as “ultra-premium” fruit, whichin the case of wine lovers everywhere means wine grapes, planted toa staggering number of both familiar and rare varieties.If you look at a map of where many growers in Napa County andbeyond source their grapes or own vineyards, you will be surprised athow many have vineyard holdings here. This is in addition to thedozen or so wineries that call the Suisun Valley their home, and bothmake, age, bottle and market their wines here. Many also have theirown tasting rooms, and during the year hold – both individually andcollectively – special events to lure those who appreciate wine to theircellar doors.The Suisun Valley is also dotted with farm stands and workingfarms that welcome visitors. There are quaint spots to eat and relax,30Napa’s Back Roadand it is the driving force behind the annual Tomato Festival in Fairfield,and for other events that occur throughout the year. But most ofall it stands as enduing symbol of the real, living heritage of this partof the hidden but treasured wine country of Northern California.3737SoscolSoscolSilverado TrailSilverado Trail29291212Big Ranch RdBig Ranch RdSilverado TrailMonticello RdSilverado TrailMonticello RdNapaNapa121121BLUE VICTORIAN Daniel CappBLUE WINERY VICTORIAN Wines Daniel CappWINERYRock Creek Vineyard VEZÉR FAMILY WINERY WinesRock Creek Vineyard VEZÉR Gardens, FAMILY Deli & WINERY Barista VEZÉRGardens, Deli & Barista Wooden Valley Private VEZÉR RanchGreen Valley CellarsSuisunWooden Winery Valley & Private TastingRanchRoomGreen Valley CellarsWine Suisun CoopBYWinery & APPOINTMENT Tasting Room ONLYLedgewoodWine CoopBY APPOINTMENT ONLYLedgewood CreekSuisunCreekValley Suisun WinterhawkValley Winterhawk80Fairfield 80TenbrinkFairfieldTenbrink80ANHEUSER BUSCH80 CordeliaBREWERY ANHEUSERTOURSBUSCHCordeliaBREWERY TOURSJELLY BELLYFACTORY AND BELLY TOURS 12680FACTORY AND TOURS 12Suisun City680Suisun CityMankas Hills WineryMankas Hills WineryJameson Canyon RdJameson Canyon RdAtlas Peak RdAtlas Peak RdMasonMasonGreen Valley RdGreen Valley RdRockville RdRockville RdJarvisJarvisS U I S U NV A L L E YW I N E R I E SRockville RdSuisun Valley RdRockville RdSuisun Valley RdWooden Valley RdWooden Valley RdMankasSuisun Valley RdMankasAbernathy RdAbernathy RdWoodenValley RdWaterman BlvdOliverGordon Valley RdClayton RdWaterman BlvdEagle EyeEagle Eyewww.WineCountryThisWeek.comSuisun Valley RdWoodenValley RdOliverGordon Valley RdClayton Rd

NAPA VALLEY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEKWinemaker Profile:Andretti WineryBOB PEPIby Charles NeaveThere are actually two legends involved with the Napa Valley’sAndretti Winery. The first you know: racing champion Mario Andretti,whose name is on the front of the label and at the winery in thesouthern half of the Valley. The other name, perhaps not quite as wellknown outside of California, is that of consulting winemaker BobPepi, whose family is legendary in a different field: winemaking.Years ago Bob and his father started the Robert Pepi Family Wineryin Oakville as a natural extension of fifteen years of owning vineyardsin the Napa Valley. There he developed a reputation for pioneering theSangiovese grape and wine made from that traditional Italian varietaland is now a staple at Andretti Winery.As personable and knowledgeable a person as you would like toknow, Bob has been at Andretti since the beginning. He was instrumentalin developing the “two-hearted canopy” trellising systemwhich greatly improved the quality of Sauvignon Blanc wine grapesand today is used throughout the industry. His philosophy is that greatwines are made in the vineyards, and as winemaker he guides theirdevelopment through the fermentation and aging process until thewines are ready for release. The wines he crafts are recognizable fortheir fruity character, even balance and complexity.Working at the Tuscan-style villa, winemaking facility, privatehospitality venue and 44 acres of vineyard that surround the estate,Bob took some time out during the beginning of this years’ crush tomake some observations on 2010.As to how the harvest looks this year, he said, “This has definitelybeen the most unusual growing season in the 30 years I’ve beenmaking wine in this area. The combination of the significant rain thatwe received through most of May and the cooler than normal springand summer temperatures led to some overly vigorous vines early on.This called for different approaches to vineyard management, butsomething worked and vines seemed relatively balanced by berrysizing. Next, all we had to worry about was a harvest that is 2-1/2 to3 weeks later than normal.“Even with the late September heat spike, we’re still behind. Thegood news is that even though we had some burned fruit from thespike – up to 25-30% in some vineyards - once this fruit is removedthe remaining fruit looks good, and we’re still left with what looks tobe a good quality and overall an average size crop. If we can avoid any38significant rain until early November I think this harvest will producesome high quality wine from a very challenging year.”That word ‘challenging’ may be a significant understatement about2010, but the fact that there is the potential for a great year is veryencouraging. But what about his favorite varietal, the most challengingone?“It’s hard to say which is the most challenging varietal. I think everyvariety presents its own challenges, especially if the winemaker istrying to coax the best expression of the variety from each lot of grapeswhile staying true to the style of wine that the grapes and the areawhere they grew are dictating. I feel a sense of accomplishment withany wine I’ve produced when I have succeeded in meeting the challengesmentioned above.”But to try the results, go to the winery’s tasting room on Big RanchRoad, about ten minutes from both Napa and Yountville. Any numberof their wines are available for tasting in a one-of-a-kind setting withbeautiful grounds, a courtyard, and an expansive patio facing the vineyards,and much more. It is always friendly and, at times, you’ll findMario or Bob in the tasting room, a story – like the wine – you cantake home with you.Andretti Winery’s Napa tasting room at 4163 Big Ranch Road isopen daily, 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. For more information, updates onspecial events or to schedule one of your own, call (707) 259-6777 orgo to www.andrettiwinery.com.www.WineCountryThisWeek.com

NAPA VALLEY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEKTasting Room of the Week:EHLERS ESTATEby Charles NeaveMaybe you haven’t been to Ehlers Estatelately (you should go). Maybe you have neverbeen (shame on you). No matter which, get inyour car, saddle up your horse or get on yourbike and head to this amazing winery just abit north of St. Helena.A few years ago I wrote that the EhlersEstate winery is “a bit like finding a Picassohanging in a log cabin, or spotting a vintageDuisenberg underneath a tarp in some Ozarklean-to” … that is about what it is like whenyou head down the drive to Ehlers Estatenorth of St. Helena. It is even more like thattoday, with all the positive connotations.The tasting room has a lot of historystanding behind it. From the outside you canimagine Andrew Wyeth painting it. Inside aneasy informality reigns above all, one that atfirst almost belies the quality of the wine youare about to try.This is not a tasting room with pretensions;the emphasis here is on the wines and comfortand style. This is a building where wine reignsabove all, where it seems like it is 1886 allover again. In fact the history of the winerydoes indeed stretch back to 1886. That iswhen a Sacramento grocer named BernardEhlers started it with seven grand in gold, andthat is when the stone winery was built.He also planted the olive trees next to thewinery, where today there is a bocce courtand fountain. When Bernard Ehlers died in1901 the property passed into the hands ofhis wife, Anne. Then in 1923 a local residentnamed Alfred Domingo purchased the landfrom her. Since only home winemaking waslegal (this was the crippling era of Prohibition,after all), Domingos and his brother“bootlegged” wine and brandy to a steadystream of Bay Area visitors. Story has it thatthey kept a big cask of their “homemade”wine in what is now the tasting room. Whenpeople would “visit” they would fill up abottle, slap a label on it, presumably somemoney would change hands, and no onewas the wiser.Eventually the Leducq family from Franceentered the picture, at first producing wine atthe winery under their name. When theyacquired the balance of the 42 acres thatcomprised the original estate a few years ago,the name Ehlers went back on the label.Today Jean Leducq is gone but the FondationLeducq, a non-profit philanthropic entitywhose sole purpose is to support internationalcardiovascular research, serves as thebeneficiary of the Ehlers Estate wines. Lookclosely at the ‘Ehlers’ in the label and you willfind the ‘heart’.Today the winery makes all of their redestate wines on the property: the “1886”Cabernet Sauvignon, the “One Twenty OverEight” Cab, a Merlot, and they’re usually soldout Cabernet Franc. The wines are also madeat the winery, using the crush pad in front andto the side of the stone building. The SauvignonBlanc, their only white wine, is also adelight, and a perfect wine to have after youtaste inside at the picnic tables to the side.Behind them are the boxed vegetable gardens,the produce of which goes to those who workhere. The whimsical contemporary artwork atthe new state-of-the-art winery is an amusingbackdrop, as is the mix of furnishings – frommodern to classical – in the tasting roomitself, presided over by hospitality managerMaria Newman. The ceilings are high, thewalls stone, the bar long and polishes wood,the atmosphere welcoming and casual.A short drive down the lane to this beautiful“old Napa Valley” winery is a quiet strollback in time. The wines are unquestionablyaward-winning, but so is the entire experience,one worth making time for no matterhow long or how brief your visit to this partof the Valley might be.Ehlers Estate is located at 3222 EhlersLane off of Route 29 north of the town of St.Helena about two miles, on the west side ofhighway. They’re open from 10 a.m. until 5p.m. Private tours and wine tasting are alsoavailable. For more information and directionsyou can contact them at (707) 963-5972 or look go to www.ehlersestate.com.42 www.WineCountryThisWeek.com

RASgalleries in YountvilleEven owner Ronda Schaer could not haveenvisioned that her affection for the littlevillage of Yountville would someday blossominto a full-blown love affair. “This is a townthat you can get your arms around.” Twentyyears ago she did just that. With the openingof her now famous art gallery, RAsgalleries,Ronda has embraced her community andgraced it with one of its most successful andadmired businesses.It was her passion for art, and glass inparticular, that moved Ms. Schaer to open agallery. “I have always been drawn to glass.”But it was the work of American glass artiststhat really captured her heart. Representingmore than two hundred American artists,the gallery has become one of the premierevenues in which to experience the drama,imagery and vision of this artistic medium.Masters of the art form such as RandyStrong, Rick Satavo, Richard Silver, EdBreed, Jack Storms Calistoga and Mark Levy utilizetechniques as varied as mouth-blowing,TUBBS LANELINCOLNlampwork and fused glass. From bowls tovases and sculpture, the genius of thesetalented people is evident wherever your eyefalls in this amazing gallery. Small pieces,such as perfume bottles and paperweightsmake ownership of this unique art formaccessible to all.Mr. Levy is one artist in particular whoworks has earned him the title, the “JacksonPollack of glass”. His thick, fused cast-glasspieces are layered with colors and texturesthat defy labels. His works consistentlyincites passionate responses from art loversand collectors.Ms. Schaer loves that reaction. “Peopleget emotional when they enter this gallery.That is what I really enjoy about what Ido…seeing people smile and experience aspiritual ‘high’ when they see just the rightpiece. There is always a relationship thatforms when someone becomes attached to apiece of art…between the artist, the work,the client and myself. My real joy is when Ivisit my clients in their homes and see howthe art has become a part of their lives.”The gallery also features the work ofsome extremely gifted fine artists, with originaloil paintings from artists throughoutCalifornia and the Pacific Northwest, as wellas the Eastern Seaboard and point inbetween. The whimsical chefs of ceramicartist, Cynthia Hipkiss are also a favorite ofcollectors.Says Ronda, “I created RAsgalleries with asingular focus on Original American Art,primarily Art Glass, my personal passion.And I’m proud that after twenty years in thesame Yountville, Napa Valley location, thepassion remains.”RASgalleries is located at 6540 WashingtonStreet, next to Bouchon in Yountvilleand is open daily from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.,Tuesday by appointment.

SONOMA COUNTY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEKTasting Room of the Week:SCHUG CARNEROS ESTATEby Abigail P. ZimmermanFor 30 years, Schug Carneros EstateWinery has showcased the passion of one ofCalifornia’s most celebrated winemakers andpioneers, Walter Schug.Founded in 1980, Schug Winery hasproved a bastion of fine Pinot Noir andChardonnay, two Burgundian varietalsproduced in old-world understanding andwinemaking traditions with today’s cuttingedgetechnologies.Drawing on his long experience in theproduction of fine wines in both Europe andCalifornia, Walter Schug established hisnamesake winery 30 years ago this year withhis wife Gertrud. In the early years the Schugsleased facilities in Napa before purchasing a50 acre parcel in 1989 in the cool, temperateregion of Carneros AVA where the winery iscurrently situated. Here, he could focus onPinot Noir and Chardonnay, two varietals thathave always been close to his heart.To celebrate Schug Winery’s 30th Birthday,Walter Schug and his team are pleased toannounce the release of two special wines:2008 Schug Carneros Estate Reserve54Pinot Noir: Pulled from free run juices only,this estate grown and produced Pinot Noirdisplays elegant elements of earth and smoke,spicy pepper and warm notes of red fruits.Gorgeous in a striking garnet color, the 2008Estate Pinot is a perfect blend from Blocks 9and 10 (Pommard and Dijon clone respectively).Aged for 16 months in one year oldFrench oak barrels in the gentle environmentof the winery’s extensive underground cavesthis wine was limited to only 228 cases ofproduction. $40 per bottle.2008 Schug Carneros Estate ReserveChardonnay, Block 1: An exceptionalChardonnay that will never be made again.Fermented and aged entirely in neutral casksthe 2008 Estate Chardonnay is provingmagnificent. Delicious white fruits and citrusnotes give way to white flowers and a hint ofminerality. Estate grown from the originalvines, this Chardonnay is in grand salute tothe original plantings. These vines have sincebeen removed and the ground allowed to restbefore replanting – a fitting tribute to thesteady, nourishing soils and world-class winemakingtraditions of this Carneros winery.Only 34 cases produced! $35 per bottle.Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grow exceedinglywell in the cool, marine climate ofSonoma Carneros. Unique soils and strongcoastal influence provide an ideal growingmicroclimate for Schug’s favorite varietals. Inthe afternoons, strong blustery breezes canpositively stress the vines, resulting in fruitswith thicker skins that translate later intostronger, richer, more complex wines. It is nowonder Schug estate wines are perhaps someof the consistently preferred and sought afterwines in all Wine Country.Walter Schug established his reputation asone of the premier winemakers in all of California– in fact one could say his reputationis set in platinum plated concrete. Schug setthe bar for generations of winemaking as theFounding Winemaker for Joseph PhelpsVineyards in the 1970s where he made California’sfirst proprietary Bordeaux-style blend(Insignia) and legendary vineyard designatedCabernets (Backus and Eisele Vineyards.)In 1995, Sonoma-born WinemakerMichael Cox came on board and within ayear, was in charge of day-to-day winemakingduties. Today, Schug Carneros Estate Wineryproduces fine wines from the best grapeswww.WineCountryThisWeek.com

SONOMA VALLEY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK56CornerStone SonomaWhat do you get when you mix 22 architectural gardens with artgalleries, cutting edge design shops, a cafe and then throw in twofirst-class wine tasting rooms? The answer is an incredible SonomaCounty destination called CornerStone Sonoma. Situated in theCarneros region of the county, CornerStone is one of the first stops forvisitors coming into Wine Country.The gardens were created by Teresa and Chris Hougie six years agoafter their many trips to France and viewing the Festival of Gardensat Chaumont sur Loire. Wanting to create something similar in theStates, the two created CornerStone which is still the only destinationof its kind in this country. The individual gardens on the nine acreproperty are designed by landscape architects and garden designers,many of whom are the most acclaimed in the world. Add the shops,a gourmet café and the two tasting rooms to the mix and you have themost unique destination in the Wine Country.And speaking of wine, the two tasting rooms, Keating Wines andMeadowcroft Wines, offer a variety of hand-crafted varietals createdby using the finest grapes grown in both the Sonoma and Napavalleys. Keating Wines, which opened at CornerStone just twomonths ago, is owned and operated by Eric Keating, who gave up aWall Street career to return to his roots in Sonoma to pursue a careerin the wine business.Upon his return to Sonoma, Keating spent three years learningevery aspect of the wine business at the well-renowned, family ownedwinery VJB Vineyards & Cellars in Kenwood, California. Inspired tostrike out on his own, Keating made the decision to pursue thepassion which was slowly consuming his life, wine! A small productionwinery, Keating made a conscious effort to source only premiumfruit available from superior vineyards in Sonoma and Napa Counties.After operating out of his home in Kenwood, Keating was looking forjust the right place to showcase his wines to the public, and when hediscovered CornerStone Sonoma, his search was over!Like Eric Keating, wine grower and winemaker Tom Meadowcroftwas also looking for just the right location. He discovered Corner-Stone late last year, and in February brought his family of wines to hisCornerStone location and has enjoyed immediate success. Meadowcrofthas worked in the wine industry for many years, starting outwith Buckland Vineyard Management running the crews and on todesigning, planting and managing fields for wineries such as Cakebread,Duckhorn, Robert Mondavi, Opus One, Stags Leap and others.In 1999 he bought a vineyard on Mt. Veeder in Napa County inanticipation of establishing his own winery. It took four years to bringthe vineyard up to Meadowcroft’s exacting standards. Finally, afterseven years with Buckland, it was time for him to step out on his ownand put his knowledge and experience to use for himself.With three labels of his own: Meadowcroft, Magito and ThomasHenry, Tom Meadowcroft also makes the wines for the Foyt FamilyWines (yes the famous A.J. Foyt racing family), and all of the winesare available in his CornerStone Sonoma tasting room.One could literally spend the day at CornerStone Sonoma enjoyingthe gardens, shops, lunch in the café, and of course sampling the finewines provided by Keating Wines and Meadowcroft Wines. Come toCornerStone and discover everything you never expected – and more!www.WineCountryThisWeek.com

Morgan Winery has joined forceswith the Rhone Rangers and the GlobalAlliance for Vaccines and Inoculations(GAVI) in the joint initiative, Pneumonia’s“Last Syrah,” which will raisemoney for worldwide pneumoniavaccines.Throughout the month ofNovember, a $10 donation will bemade for every case sold of MorganSyrah. Funds will be used to producevaccines for this illness that takes thelife of more children than AIDS, measles and malaria combined.Why $10? Because that’s the cost of a single life-saving pneumoniavaccination.Morgan Winery proprietor and winegrower Dan Lee is veryenthusiastic about this effort. “By partnering with these two groupson this project, we have an opportunity to raise awareness andfunds for an illness that is often overlooked.”To help promote the promotion, GAVI is hosted Pneumonia’s“Last Syrah,” a wine reception and photography exhibit last monthin New York City. Rhone Rangers member wineries were present tocelebrate the campaign kick off by pouring a selection of theirSyrahs.Founded in 2000, as part of the United Nations MillenniumDevelopment Goals, the GAVI Alliance, in conjunction with JohnsHopkins Hospital and the International Vaccine Access Clinic(IVAC) leads international efforts to reduce childhood deaths frompneumonia. Their mission is to save children’s lives and protectpeople’s health by increasing access to vaccines in underdevelopedcountries. In 10 years, GAVI has vaccinated 257 million childrenand averted over five million deaths.WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | MONTEREY/CENTRAL COASTMorgan Winery Supports Pneumonia’s ‘Last Syrah’Morgan Winery was established in1982 by Dan and Donna Lee.

Few of these original wineriessurvived prohibition, but many new wineries have developed since the 1940s.In 1981 the Santa Cruz Mountains Viticultural Appellation, one of the first Americanviticultural areas to be defined by geophysical and climatic factors, became federallyrecognized. The appellation encompasses the Santa Cruz Mountain range, fromHalf Moon Bay in the north, to Mount Madonna in the south. Theeast and west boundaries are defined by elevation, extending downto 800 feet in the east and 400 feet in the west.There are now more than seventy small, family-owned wineriesin the region. The small size of these operations allows the winemakersthe opportunity to handcraft their wines and to maximizethe potential of the grapes. The same spirit of innovation, independenceand determination that distinguished the great winemakersof the 19th century lives on today.For more information, visit www.scmwa.com or call (831) 685-8463.ChaloneVineyardChaloneVineyard65
