Wineology
INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER
by Len Napolitano
What are wine legs, body and nose?
These commonly used terms describe how three of our senses are
used in evaluating the anatomy of wine. Starting with an observation
of the tiny streams of wine that cling to the inside of the glass, these
“legs” are indicators of the overall richness, or power, of the wine.
Wine higher in alcohol or sugar will exhibit these “tears” that creep
back down after the glass is swirled.
Try comparing legs of a Sauvignon Blanc with 12% alcohol with
those of Chardonnay made with about 14% alcohol. The Sauvignon
Blanc will exhibit faint legs that fall back into the glass fairly quickly
while the Chardonnay’s legs will appear a little fatter and slower
moving. Then taste the difference in richness between the two with
the legs having clued you in to the wine’s style before you sip.
Our sense of touch comes into play when a wine’s body is assessed.
Also known as “mouthfeel,” body can be light, as in a domestic Riesling, medium, like a Pinot Noir, or full-bodied, such as Syrah. As a
general rule, wines that are made in a full body style will also have a
higher alcohol content to help balance the overall makeup of the wine.
Many popular “New World” (USA, Australia, Chile) wines made
from Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraz (the Australian name for Syrah)
are described as full bodied. To the contrary, many notable Cabernets
and Syrah from the “Old World” (France, Italy) are generally said to
10
possess elegance and complexity in a
more delicate, medium body style.
Neither approach is necessarily superior--only personal preference
matters when choosing one or the other.
Finally, the term “nose” is used as a synonym for smell. A wine is
said to have a nice “nose” if it has distinctive and pleasing aromas that
invite the taster to indulge.
When you evaluate a wine’s nose, stick your nose deep inside the
glass and take several strong sniffs while concentrating on the scents
that hit you. Although wine is made from grapes, its aroma (sometimes interchanged with “bouquet”) is seldom “grapey”. Instead, you’ll
get the smell of anything from wild berries to jasmine, depending on
the wine.

Wine & Spirits Education Trust and Chicago Wine School and continually gains knowledge from his frequent
contact with California winemakers. More information is on his website, www.wineology.com.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINE COUNTRY NEWS
Wine Garage – Here Comes the Jug!
Well, it has taken a while, but
the Wine Garage Jug Wine
Program has been free-flowing for
the past 18 months. The custommade, stainless-steel taps facilitate
the flow of two righteous and delicious blends, B1 (a Bordeaux-style
blend of Cabernet Sauvignon,
Carmenere, Merlot and Petit
Verdot) and R1 (a Rhone-style
blend of Syrah, Zinfandel,
Grenache, Mourvedre and Petite
Sirah). “My biggest problem,” says
co-owner, Todd Miller, “is that
customers can't decide which to
buy because they love them both so
much.”
And with good reason. Miller
bought the individual lots of
finished wine that make up each
blend from some of his personal
winemaking friends. The wine
came from grapes from several of
Napa’s most prestigious vineyards.
He's sworn to secrecy on the vineyard sources so the Wine Garage
blends don’t compete against the
same wines priced at two, three or
even four times what Miller sells it
for – just $29.99 for a half-gallon jug, filled to order.
When Todd and Joy Miller moved to Napa Valley in 2001, they
were surprised to find that they could hardly find any wines for less
than $45 a bottle. Then they went to a dinner party at a winemaker's
home, and were shocked to discover that many winemakers couldn't
afford to drink the wines they made. That's when the Millers decided
to open the first wine shop in Napa Valley that only carried wines
under $25 a bottle.
So in 2003, Todd Miller swapped his corporate necktie for jeans
and boots and started scouring Northern California for great, undiscovered wines to offer at the new wine shop, the Wine Garage in
Calistoga. Miller drove the roads less traveled, meeting with winemakers, walking in their vineyards, and tasting their grapes, barrel
samples and finished wines. The winemakers, tickled to have a real,
live wine buyer at their winery, shared stories with Miller over a glass
of wine at the dinner table.
The Wine Garage carries a wide selection of bargains from Sonoma
and Napa, and gems from as far afield as Paso Robles, Lodi, the Sierra
Foothills and Mendocino County. The store features wines under $25
(with the exception of three Private Label wines), and Miller doesn’t
buy a wine for the store unless he
loves it. What’s best is the Wine
Garage staff takes the guesswork out
of wine shopping: tell the staff what
you're looking for and they will steer
you to the perfect bottle.
The Wine Garage is a licensed
winery, and in addition to the blends
on tap, they produce a line of their
own Wine Garage wines from grapes
they crush. For reds they offer a Napa
Valley Zinfandel, a Zin blend from
Napa Valley, a Rhone blend from The
North Coast of California, and three
selections of Napa Valley Cabernet
Sauvignons. They also offer a white
blend: Joy Ride (named for Todd’s
business partner, Joy), a lively blend
of Albarino, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier and Muscat.
The Wine Garage’s wine club is
one of the best deals around. Club
members can choose to receive six
bottles of red wine (or three red and
three white) six times per year for
$110 per shipment, plus shipping.
The Wine Garage also offers an
“Intense Red” selection of massively
concentrated and extracted wines,
also six bottles six times per year for $135-$145 per shipment, plus
shipping.
The Wine Garage, located at 1020 Foothill Boulevard (Highway
29) in Calistoga, is open from 11 a.m. till 6:30 p.m. Monday thru
Saturday and 11 a.m. till 4:30 p.m. Sunday. For more information, call
(707) 942-5332, visit the website at www.winegarage.net or send an

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
ARGER-MARTUCCI VINEYARDS
A Napa Valley Hidden Gem
by Anna Wayne
With an annual production of 5,000 cases, Arger-Martucci Vineyards is one of the most intimate and unique tasting experiences in the
Napa Valley. During your poolside tasting that offers views of the
western Mayacamas Mountains and neighboring vineyards, you will
have the opportunity to enjoy your own picnic lunch, as well as the
company of one of the tasting room’s knowledgeable staff members.
The relaxing atmosphere and oasis-like environment allows you to do
exactly what you want to: take your mind off the real world and focus
on the wine you are drinking.
Founded in 1998, the partnership of Arger-Martucci Vineyards is
more than a business venture between two owners; it is a love and
appreciation of making great wine that is shared by two families – one
of Greek, the other of Italian descent. Owned and managed by the
Argers and Martuccis, the enterprise is a culmination of varied talents
and expertise with one common goal: to produce limited amounts of
premium handcrafted wine.
The winery produces over ten different varietals, most of which are
harvested from Arger-Martucci’s estate vineyard located 1,350 feet
above the valley floor in the Atlas Peak region of Napa Valley. Two of
their flagship wines include a red proprietary blend, the Odyssey, and
a white proprietary blend, the Iliad. Demonstrating the true art of
winemaking, both blends exemplify the masterful skill and expert
palate of Owner, Winemaker and practicing Cardiologist, Dr. Kosta
Arger. The 2005 Odyssey, their Estate Reserve and wine that was
recently awarded 93 Points/Cellar Selection in Wine Enthusiast, is a
Bordeaux-style blend that contains varying amounts of Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petite Verdot and now Syrah. It is
18
an incredibly complex and elegant wine with layers of chocolate and
black cherry. These delightful characteristics are derived from both the
volcanic soils on Atlas Peak and the winemaker’s use of French, American and Hungarian oak.
The Iliad was released August 1, 2009 and is now their top-selling
wine. It serves as a complement to the Odyssey, and achieves a body,
flavor and richness that prove superior to any of its individual parts.
The four aromatic varietals that compose the Iliad are Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer and Muscat of Alexandria. The bouquet
is truly exotic with an immediate impression of melon, pear and even
coconut. The mouth-feel is incredibly rich with hints of tropical spice,
which suggests Viognier first, then Gewurtztraminer, and finally, a hint
of grapefruit from the Sauvignon Blanc. There is a small amount (less
than one-half of one percent) of residual sugar, which enhances the
richness on the palate. This wine serves as a wonderful aperitif and is
an excellent complement to spicy foods.
Dr. Arger’s winemaking style has always maintained elements of
traditional techniques. The 2005 Carneros Pinot Noir is a classic
example of how he has been able to bridge the gap between the
reserved elegance of the old world and lush complexities of new world
fruit. Boasting a rich nose of plum and chocolate-covered black cherries, this Pinot is perfectly balanced on the palate and reveals a garnet
color true to Burgundy.
The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is a great example of why Napa
Valley is the best region in the United States to produce this varietal.
Aged in French, American and Hungarian oak, this Napa Cab contains
a small amount of Merlot, which slightly softens the tannins. There are
many layers of complexity with nuances of cinnamon and tobacco in
this wine.
Their gold medal winning and very popular Syrah exhibits rich
flavors of cherry and white pepper. Not an overwhelming mouthful,
this wine manages to be both earthy and reserved in the same sip. This
is another superb example of the slightly restrained style employed by
Dr. Arger.
Also produced at Arger-Martucci Vineyards are tiny amounts of
Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc, Rosé and a dessert wine, Dulcinea. The
Petite Sirah is harvested from one hundred and forty-year-old vines
near Calistoga and is incredibly rich with intense, bold flavors. Their
Cabernet Franc maintains classic notes of earth and spice, truly characteristic of this Bordeaux varietal. The Rosé, named Saigniée Sauvage
(or “wild blood”) is one of Cabernet Sauvignon that has been rumored
to be one of the best in the Valley. Finally, the Dulcinea, a late harvest
dessert wine, is composed of 100% botrytized Sauvignon Blanc and
Semillon. It has been referred to by some as “pure heaven” and “nectar
of the gods,” and as so, the 2004 vintage has completely sold out.
They also have an amazing deal for their wine club. For a great
price (only $110 per shipment plus shipping), you receive four wines,
three times a year. Included are library wines and wines that have not
been released to the public so you can be some of the first to sample
the new vintages. Complementary tastings, cheese pairings and
discounts are also included in this incredible package. You will also
receive information about exciting events held at the winery and
around the country. Held in mid to late September will be the 2010
Harvest Party. Please visit their website for more information at
www.arger-martucci.com.
As an enthusiast of family-owned, boutique wineries, I encourage
everyone to visit Arger-Martucci’s quaint tasting room and experience
the impressive array of fine wines they have to offer. Located at 1455
Inglewood Ave, just south of the town of St. Helena, the tasting room
is open to the public seven days a week from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. For
more information, call the winery at (707) 963-4334 or add them as
a friend on Facebook at www.facebook.com/argermartucci.

WINERY FEATURE | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
VJB VINEYARDS & CELLAR
by Ronda Giangreco
If you’ve ever had the good fortune to visit
the Italian countryside, you probably have
some wonderful memories of small, familyowned restaurants and wineries where the
wine flowed and the people who poured it
were so warm and welcoming. Well, you
needn’t bother with passports and airline
transfers. That same experience can be had
right in the middle of Kenwood, just up a lazy
stretch of Highway 12.
The VJB Vineyards and Cellars are owned
by one of the most gracious and convivial
Italian families you will ever meet. The wine
and the food of Italy, along with the joy of
sharing it with visitors is what their life is
about. It is their passion, their drive and their
joy.
Vittorio Belmonte and his wife, Maria came
to the United States in 1963, leaving behind
their small village east of Naples. Sonoma
Valley reminded them of home in Bonito, Italy
and seemed the perfect place to raise their two
sons, Victor and Henry. Vittorio’s family had a
long history of winemaking. He grew up in
the vineyards of southern Italy where the
family produced wines from the grapes that
made the region famous. Primitivo, Coda di
Volpe, Aglianico and Piccolit fruit was used to
make wines that graced the tables of both
humble homes and great restaurants alike. It
20
was his dream to make great wines like that
here in America. Coupled with his wife’s fabulous cooking skills, the pair knew they had a
recipe for success. After many years toiling in
the restaurant trade, in 1999 they were finally
able to realize their dream of producing top
quality Italian wines from their own vineyards. Their two sons were now their partners
in the venture and the family saw only a great
future for their business and their lives
together.
Unfortunately, tragedy struck. In the year
2000, at only thirty-four years of age, Victor
succumbed to a sudden heart attack. The
family was devastated. In honor of their son
and brother, they named their new winery
VJB, using Victor’s initials. Not just his name,
but his spirit is the focus of the business. As
his brother, Henry relates “We choose to make
wines that are to be enjoyed today, wines that
you don’t need to age before drinking. My
brother’s death taught me to live in the
moment. As restaurateurs, we had amassed a
marvelous cellar of great wines that we were
saving for special occasions. With Victor’s
sudden passing, we realized that each day is a
special occasion and that life is to be lived and
enjoyed right now.”
In May of 2003, the family realized a large
part of their dream with the opening of the
VJB Vineyards & Cellars Tasting Room in
Kenwood. It is here that visitors can sit at long
rustic tables, surrounded by jars of Maria’s
famous sugos and tapenades, and be served
the lush and fruit-forward wines of Southern
Italy, along with the varietals that made the
Sonoma Valley famous. It is usually Vittorio
himself who does the pouring and a more
affable host would be hard to find. With his
thick Italian accent and expressive manner,
one will feel transported to the Italian countryside. Most of Vittorio’s family wines are
produced from their estate vineyards, yielding
Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Sangiovese,
Montepulciano and Aglianico grapes.
The tasting room offerings range from a
delightful Prosecco, the perfect accompaniment to a warm summer afternoon, to rich
and lusty Barberas, Zinfandels, Syrahs, and
Cabernets, along with the Italian varietals,
Primitivo, Sangiovese, Montepulciano and
Aglianico. The wines not to be missed
however are their two blends. The VJB Rosso,
a red table wine, is one of the most approachable and “pure” examples of what you would
find on nearly any table in Italy. It is robust,
yet smooth and easy on the palate. And it is
impossible to drink without dreaming of a
plate of steaming pasta.
Their other red blend, Dante, is a luscious
marriage of Cabernet and Sangiovese fruit. It
is undoubtedly a more elegant wine, with soft
tannins and a silky, graceful finish, but
somehow just as unpretentious and user-
WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINERY FEATURE
friendly as their red table wine.
Not willing to rest on their
laurels, the Belmonte family is
excited about their newest adventure. With the ground broken for
a magnificent new tasting room,
complete with an Italian deli,
picnic grounds and retail space,
they have a vision for creating a
quintessential wine country destination. “If you only have time to
visit one place in the valley, this
will be the place to come. It will
be a true expression of who my
family is and of what we want to
offer to people who come to visit
us. For us the goal is not for you
to simply enjoy our wines, but for
you to leave feeling as though you
are now a part of our family.”
The current tasting room
located at 9077 Sonoma Highway
in Kenwood and is open daily
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Two
tasting options are available. The
“Normale” tasting features from
five to seven wines at a cost of
only $5. The “Reserva” tasting
comes with a tasty plate of Italian
cured meats and cheeses meant to
complement the wines. It is a
tremendous value at $10. A
private estate tour and tasting for
groups of two to thirty can also be
arranged from Thursday through
Sunday by appointment. This is
the wine tour to take in the valley.
Guests enjoy a walk through the
estate’s Montepulciano vineyard,
sip wine poolside and then move
to the wonderful “cantina” for a
fabulous selection of the family’s
library wines. It is well worth the
twenty dollar admission. And to
recreate at home a bit of your
splendid Italian experience, be
sure and pick up a copy of Maria’s
new cookbook, Cucinare Con
Amore (Cook With Love).
Love, family and marvelous
wines. Bravo!

17th Annual Hands Across the Valley, August 28
by Michael Rockich
Hands Across the Valley will return to
Napa Valley for the 17th time on August
28th. It is good to remember the reason
this fundraiser originally came into being.
Yes it is a glamorous event with film and
sports celebrities present, but the basic
purpose is to feed the needy – a noble cause. This gala makes a positive difference. The Ranch Winery at 105 Zinfandel Lane in St. Helena
will be the setting. The grounds of the Ranch provide a grassy carpet
to stroll on under a starry night sky while enjoying the activities of the
evening.
The event began in 1994 when community leaders including
George Altamura, and community celebrities including Eleanor and
Francis Ford Coppola learned that funding for the Napa Food Bank
was dwindling, and Federal funding was being reduced. This registered non-profit organization “is committed to working toward the
goal of a community without hunger.” The annual fundraiser has
brought in more than $3,000,000 since its debut for Napa Valley food
programs serving hungry families throughout Napa County.
The evening will began with a reception at 6 p.m. boasting an array
of high profile local wineries pouring their table wines. Outstanding
local restaurants and food purveyors will serve gourmet bites at their
stands with the uniqueness and quality that
only wine country offers. A few sweets are
usually found too. A buffet sit-down dinner
will follow prepared by Chef Kevin Miller.
A sumptuous VIP dinner is also available
prepared by Chef Bob Hurley.
Two auctions will run concurrent with
activities. The silent auction will proceed at
a relaxed pace. When the live auction begins the pace quickens, while
the grounds resound to rapid bidding and the rap of the auctioneer’s
gavel. The auctions will offer overnight packages, dining and wine
tasting experiences, top artisan and “cult” wine lots, and retail offerings.
Film star Rob Schneider, who starred in The Animal and The Hot
Chick among others, will be the Celebrity Host for the evening. A
number of former stars of the San Francisco 49ers often attend. The
Ranch will rock to the music of Butch Whacks & The Glass Packs with
the dance floor shaking. Festivities will last until 11 p.m.
This year general admission now includes a seated buffet dinner in
addition to the restaurant and winery reception. To order tickets, or
for further information please go online to www.handsacrossthevalley.com, or telephone (707) 226-6136. The website maintains and
updates a list of participating restaurants and wineries which will grow
until just before the event.

Pine Ridge Offers the Very Best of Napa Valley
by Abigail P. Zimmerman
Pine Ridge Vineyards enjoys a place of prominence alongside the
Stags Leap District palisades. If the views aren’t breathtaking enough,
just try their wines! Pine Ridge red wines, whites and the recently
released rosé are sure to impress.
Combining critically acclaimed wines, gorgeous grounds and
educational tours, Pine Ridge offers the very best of Napa Valley.
24
Tour the Vineyards
Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or a novice sipper, taking
a tour of Pine Ridge Vineyards is a wonderful way to either continue
or begin your wine education. Vineyard tours are offered three times
a day, every day. Upon embarking on your tour, you will be guided
by a knowledgeable wine educator through the facility, following the
production of wine from the vine to the bottle. The tour begins
outdoors in the Demonstration Vineyard, where you will see and
compare the distinctive varietal characteristics of Cabernet Franc,
Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Your wine
educator will also discuss with you the influence of terroir and the
many distinctive microclimates within the Napa Valley on the wines.
Pine Ridge’s Le Petit Clos Vineyard, also on the estate property,
stands as a shining example of this concept. Due to the natural
northeastern-facing position of the hillside on which it stands, as
well as the shelter it receives from the iconic pine ridge, this tiny 1.7
acre vineyard produces perhaps the only varietal bottling of cool
weather-loving Chardonnay, out of the ordinarily warm Stags Leap
District.
After visiting these vineyards, you will continue your tour
through the fermentation cellar and into the Cabernet Caves. Along
the way, you will be treated to a sample of wine in the process of
aging from one of the estate’s 4,600 French oak barrels. After
exploring a few of the many arms of the caves, your tour will culminate in the Cabernet Caves Dining Room, a unique and idyllic
setting 134 feet underground. You will enjoy a private tasting of
several of Pine Ridge’s finest wines paired with delectable artisanal
cheeses. At the end of the tour, you will be sent on your way only
after enjoying a final tasting of the estate’s signature wine, Fortis, an
exquisite blend of only the very best fruit from the finest barrels.
2009 Encantado Rosé
Pine Ridge has recently expanded its critically acclaimed red wine
and Chardonnay portfolio to produce a superb dry rosé. Created in
the saignée method, in which the first juice pressed from red grapes
is bled from the tank and fermented separately, this is a rosé of
mainly Cabernet Sauvignon with touches of Tannat, Merlot and
Malbec. Pine Ridge produced only 425 cases this vintage and has
just released this marvelously refreshing wine in time for summer.
Remember, rosé is meant to be consumed quickly! And at only $20
per bottle, no one anticipates this rosé lasting very long!
About Pine Ridge: A Brief History
Pine Ridge specializes in producing wines that embody the
unique characteristics of each of the five sub-appellations of the
Napa Valley in which its 200 acres of estate vineyards are located.
Since the winery was founded in 1978, Old World traditions have
been fused with modern, innovative viticultural and winemaking
practices to yield powerful yet balanced Bordeaux-style red wines
and Chardonnays with classic aromas, rich textures and lingering
flavors.
Originally under 25 years of esteemed tutelage from Winemaker
Stacy Clark and now under the stewardship of premier Winemaker
Michael Beaulac, Pine Ridge has further established itself as one of
the key destinations in Napa Valley. Since its inception, the winery
has consistently looked to the most esteemed winegrowing regions
of France for lessons in crafting faultless wines. Pine Ridge maintains
the belief that the greatest of the great embrace three principles:
pride in ownership, profound stewardship of the land and a relentless dedication to quality. These values are clearly reflected in the
vineyard practices of dense plantings, meticulous pruning and hand
harvesting as well as in the winemakers’ artistic blending and careful
selection of cooperage.
Visit Pine Ridge Vineyards
Open from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily, Pine Ridge is located at
5901 Silverado Trail in Napa. In the tasting room, two different
flights of four wines each are available for tasting – Current Relases
for $15 per person and Cabernets for $25 per person.
The winery and cave tours are also $25 per person, depart daily
at 10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m., and last approximately one hour.
For a fun Sunday outing, join Executive Winery Chef Eric
Maczko for a food and wine pairing seminar. Learn the principles of
food and wine pairing while enjoying a delicious lunch paired with
three complementary Pine Ridge wines. The class starts at 11 a.m.
every Sunday and costs $65 per person, $45 for Wine Club
members.
Reservations are required for the tour and the food and wine
pairing. Walk-ins are welcome for tasting, but for groups larger than
eight, reservations are preferred. Please contact the concierge for
more information.
Pine Ridge Vineyards is located at 5901 Silverado Trail, Napa. For

In California, the likelihood of finding a tasting room with a fulltime sommelier and wine educator is extremely rare. And this at a
winery, Vezer Family Vineyard, that produces only 6,000 cases of
wines in one of the smallest wine regions in California, Suisun Valley!
The Suisun Valley AVA (American Viticultural Area) was established in 1982 although grapes have been growing there for over a
hundred years. In 1860, Suisun City was a port for gold rushers who
were constantly on the move. In 1989, Frank Vezer, owner of Vezer
Family Vineyard, had a dream of establishing Suisun Valley as a great
grape and winemaking region and built Vezer Family Vineyard.
To begin with, the Vezer’s bought the 30-acre ranch and vineyard
formerly contracted to Ravenswood. That was followed in very short
order by their purchase of the entire Western “Pony Express” village of
Mankas Corners, a property with 160 years of colorful history. Then
they acquired Suisun Valley’s crown jewel, the Blue Victorian. All three
locations are working winery sites, with some of the most unique and
hospitable tasting rooms you have ever experienced, stocked with an
array of good wines and staffed by people who are simply glad you
stopped by and who want to share the area’s history, stories and wines
with you. But, let’s get back to the real story of the sommelier and wine
educator in Suisun Valley.
George Meggers spent 31 years in the United States Air Force. He
was a Command C-141 pilot, instructor and evaluator. He has been
on every continent, most notably, as a Mission Commander for the
Antarctic “Deep Freeze” program where he tested and taught pilots
how to takeoff and land on annual sea ice runways as well as runways
on the glacier at McMurdo Station in Antarctica. “I was the first pilot
to land a four-engine jet on a glacier, on purpose,” George said.
George, besides working in the tasting room at Vezer Family Vineyard, teaches at Solano Community College, not about the dangers of
landing on a glacier but about the nuances of wine.
Ron Plunkett was a police officer for 21 years for the Solano
County Sheriff’s Department. What does a cop like Ron do when he
has enough of dealing with extremely dangerous situations? Of course,
what every cop does, he gets into the wine business! His way was to
become a sommelier at The Professional Culinary Institute’s Certified
Sommelier Program. After a grueling three months of class work, Ron
got his certification. And, to fully understand his passion and desire,
he graduated in the top 5% of his class. Armed (pardon the pun) with
the knowledge of wines from around the world, you would have
thought that Ron would end up at a fabulous restaurant.
Why be a trained sommelier and work at a winery? “Vezer Family
Vineyard has so much potential and the winery future looks very
bright, indeed,” Ron explained. “I grew up in Solano County, worked
here my entire life. I want to be part of something unique and challenging,” he said. “I’m considered a pioneer being a sommelier at a
winery. Less than one percent of all the wineries in the world have a
sommelier working exclusively for a winery,” he stated. The blending
seminars that Ron puts on are fabulous and guests of the winery will
walk away feeling like winemakers.
Frank Vezer knows something about business and understands
what it takes for a winery to be successful. Having a flying ace and a
ex cop working for you has some cache but having a wine educator
and sommelier on board can take the winery to new heights. Just visit
the winery and ask for George or Ron, you will be glad you did!

NAPA VALLEY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Blues, Brews and BBQ in Downtown Napa, August 28
The name of this event almost says it all. What is doesn’t say is that
this will be a Blues, Brews and BBQ jackpot.
The three stages will present a variety of great music. The main
stage presents the Bay Area Blues Extravaganza, starring Sista Monica,
Ladee Bianca, Earl Thomas and Zakiya Hooker, with a special guest
appearance by The Lucky Thirteen Blues Band. All are veterans of the
San Francisco Blues Festival, and have played with the likes of Joe
Louis Walker, John Lee Hooker and Albert King. The KFOG 104.5
FM stage will feature Bay Area greats Reckless in Las Vegas, Elliot
Randall and the Deadmen, and OONA, featuring Oona Garthwaith
and Dave Tweedie. The Garden Stage will feature the Jake Steel Blues
Band and Blue Steel.
Napa’s own Bounty Hunter Wine Bar & Smokin’ BBQ is sponsoring
a rib eatin’ contest (that’s right – eatin’. This will be a hunker down,
eat-all-you-can contest between otherwise refined Napa Valley vint-
ST. HELENA
CHARLES
CHARLES
KRUG RATT
KRUG PRATT
ners.) And even though the event features “brews,” for many folks in
the Napa Valley, that means wine. Bounty Hunter wines will be
poured all day, to the delight of wine aficionados.
Presented by Pyramid Ale, Napa Blues, Brews & BBQ was a huge
hit last year, despite temperatures in the triple digits. Like barbeque?
Choose from a dozen different styles, everything from ribs, pulled
pork, chicken, oysters, shrimp, corn and more. Can’t eat another bite?
There will be lots of sauces on hand that you can take home, fire up
the grill and enjoy on the patio. Tell your family it’s your very own
special sauce – who’s gonna know?
If micro-brewed beer is more your thing, you’ll be right at home in
the beer garden, where you can taste twenty different beers, including
two each from Lagunitas, Pyramid Ale, Dogfish, Alaskan and New
Belgium Brewing. Also on tap will be micro-brews from Boston Beer,
21st Amendment and four others. Tastes of all beers will be available
for purchase.
Napa Blues, Brews & BBQ will be the perfect way to spend the last
Saturday in August. From Hwy. 29, take the Downtown exit. On First
Street between Main and Franklin. Parking and admission are free.

Tasting Room of the Week:
ANDRETTI WINERY
by Charles Neave
People may visit the Andretti Winery in
the heart of Northern California’s Napa Valley
because of the world famous Andretti name,
but they come back, again and again, for the
wines they produce. And an impressive roster
of varietals it is. It includes a crisp and always
popular Sauvignon Blanc, a delicately oaked
Chardonnay, the Pinot Grigio and a versatile
Pinot Noir (think red wine with fish and roast
chicken or Thanksgiving turkey with all the
trimmings), Sangiovese – the ultimate foodfriendly wine, Merlot, a Zinfandel-Primitivo
blend and of course the classic, deep, rich
Cabernet Sauvignon, among other offerings
from the Montona Reserve, Napa Valley and
Selections series.
It was 1996 when Mario Andretti saw his
dream of owning a winery and making wine
bearing his own name become a reality. That’s
when he opened the Andretti Winery in the
fabled Oak Knoll district of the Napa Valley.
Today this stylish Tuscan-style villa receives
visitors from every continent, drawn by
Mario’s international fame as well as the
wines produced by a Napa legend, winemaker Bob Pepi. Bob’s philosophy is that
great wines are made in the vineyards. Bob’s
34
philosophy is that great wines are made in
the vineyards, and that is the eternal mantra
he listens to and practices. As a result his
wines are recognized by a certain hallowed
triumvirate: balance, complexity and fruit
character. But to find out for sure, go to their
tasting room and sample.
“Grazie molto!” Mario would say as you
drive into the winery. There are the abundant
plantings of trees (many of them decades old)
and flowers. There is the fountain in the
courtyard that you pass by as you walk
toward the tasting room, the carefully aged
look of the villa itself, and the artful wrought
iron of the balconies. They all lend a certain
and artfully-executed Old World feel to the
experience that a visit brings. It all creates an
ambiance – a feeling – far removed from the
frenzied, high speed and frantic world that
many visitors inhabit for most of the year. It
is, if only for a brief time, a valued and
welcome respite from all of that. It is a short
trip to Mario’s native Italy and to the hillsides
above his birthplace that are so rich in history,
tradition, pageantry and heritage, and, of
course, great wine. These are traditions that
go back almost countless centuries.
As Mario has said many times, “I want
people that visit my winery to feel at home.
It’s probably my Italian nature – to want to
make people feel welcome, to be a good host,
to treat people like family.”
One new addition to the Andretti Winery
experience is the new wine and chocolate
pairing program, where they carefully match
wines with hand-crafted chocolates from the
exceptional Annette’s Chocolates on First
Street in Napa. And, as always, you can
arrange for a custom-made experience that
can include extensive tours of the vineyards,
and private tastings of their exceptional
wines. One other note is that the winery is
able to accommodate private family or corporate groups in their Tuscan Villa and the
manicured grounds surrounded by vineyards.
It is all part of the Andretti Winery experience.
The unique tasting room at Andretti
Winery is located at 4162 Big Ranch Road
(between Route 29 and the Silverado Trail)
10 or at most 15 minutes north of the City of
Napa. They’re open every day of the week,
from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. For more information, directions or to inquire about having a
special family or corporate event at the
winery, call them at 1-888-460-8463 or (707)
259-6777. Their website can be found at
www.andrettiwinery.com.
Swanson Vineyards Opens New Sip Shoppe Boutique
“Candy store” for adults now open
Swanson Vineyards opened the doors to
the Sip Shoppe in July. Adjoining the winery’s
Salon (tasting room) at 1271 Manley Lane in
Rutherford (94573, off Hwy. 29, ten miles
north of Napa and five miles south of St.
Helena), the Sip Shoppe is open Thursday –
Sunday from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m., guests can
taste inside or outdoors, in a gracious patio
shaded by sycamores. Reservations can be
made at (707) 967-3500 or by emailing
[email protected].
The Sip Shoppe is distinctively charming,
with the interior walls draped in red-andwhite striped circus-style fabric and adorned
with faux stone gargoyles and paintings by Ira
Yeager. Brainchild of Alexis Swanson Traina,
the winery’s Creative Director, the fanciful
space presents wines in unusual glassware,
including glass “Dixie” cups, mini-Riedel Os
and colored cut-crystal. Traina suggests that it
is a “candy store for adults,” given its artful
mix of wines, delicious food complements
and carefully curated gifts. “The Sip Shoppe is
the vision of some of America’s finest talents,
including Kate Spade Collection co-founder
Andy Spade, illustrator Jean-Philippe
Delhomme, interior designer Thomas Britt,
chocolatier Katrina Markoff of Vosges Haut
Chocolate, singer Vanessa Carlton (whose
stationery line is proprietary to the Sip
Shoppe), florist Torryne Choate and painter
Ira Yeager,” she explains.
“We take our wines very seriously but are
whole-hearted believers in a dash of decadence,” says Traina. “Part of the joy of living is
finding simple ways to celebrate every day,
and what better way than to re-invent traditions and rituals from a new perspective?”
Wines are available by the glass or as a
specific tasting; the tastings consist of:
• The Oakville Irony, $15.00, Pinot Grigio
and Chardonnay, complemented by a
dollop of Swanson Vineyards’ proprietary
caviar served atop a potato chip and a
New Orleans Snowball
• The Secret Stash, $20, Chardonnay,
Sangiovese, Petite Sirah, complemented by
Clarke’s Bark and a New Orleans Snowball
• The Instant Cellar, $20, Pinot Grigio,
Merlot, Alexis Cabernet Sauvignon,
complemented by Clarke’s Bark and a New
Orleans Snowball
• The Night Cap, $22, dessert wines Arsene
and Crepuscule, complemented with bleu
cheese and warm pistachios.
• The Salonnière, $25, Angelica and Alexis,
complemented with an Alexis bonbon,
bleu cheese and a New Orleans Snowball.
Guests can also enjoy The Extra Special –
either a glass of House Red, $15 (a Bordeaux
blend) or House White, $120 (Pinot Grigio).
Guests can also order a New Orleans-style
“Roadie,” sweetened iced coffee, at $3.
The Sip Shoppe is also the venue for a
soon-to-be-released line of gift kits: first is
The Newlywed Kit (six bottles of Swanson
Vineyards’ special occasion wine Just Married,
accompanied by an ostrich feather duster and
a sage bundle); coming shortly are The Break
Up Kit, The Stork Kit and The Please Forgive
Me Kit.

the geologic anomaly known as the Palisades
– is a tranquil oasis. Yes, just over the edge,
behind the tasting room at Summers Estate
Wines the Old Faithful Geyser blows off some
steam every hour or so.
Surrounding the winery are almost two
dozen acres of vines. They include the Villa
Andriana Vineyard, planted with Zinfandel,
Charbono (it is said there are less than a
hundred acres planted in the entire world)
and the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that go
into a premium wine named after the
daughter of owners Jim and Beth Summers.
Called Andriana’s Cuvee, this deep, rich,
fruit-filled and complex wine has been an
award winner since that very first vintage.
It was 1987 when Summers Estate Wines
came into being. That is when Jim and Beth
bought a vineyard in the acclaimed Knights

p.m. Retire to the picnic area of Summers
backyard area to enjoy the vistas and a funfilled Mexican harvest fiesta. Chat with Jim
and Beth Summers, Ignacio Blancas, Winemaker, and other entertaining tasting room
staff!
After lunch, join in the Bocce Ball
Competition. Guests will split up into teams,
and the winning team gets a magnum (or
two) of some luscious Summers wine.
Dress for the day is casual – shorts or
capris if you want to grape stomp, and
sandals.
Cost is only $50.

Valley region of the Napa Valley. At the time
that vineyard was planted primarily with
Merlot and some Muscat Canelli. The 1992
vintage signaled the arrival of their first
Summers Ranch Merlot.
A few years later the couple expanded
their scope with the purchase of the Tubbs
Lane property on the valley floor. It now
includes an impressive winemaking facility
and production has grown to a total of about
10,000 cases a year.
“The heart of the winery (in addition to
the vineyards) is the people who work here,”
said Beth Summers. “We’ve built Summers
Estate Wines around a family of people,
including our family, the Blancas family
(Ignacio Blancas, long-time Summers winemaker), and the families of our employees. A
hands-on approach is the only thing we
know, and it’s the way we plan to continue.”
The winery property is also home to their
tasting room. Housed in a handsome farmlike building it blends with the rural site and
the sensibilities of the owners while also
hitting a chord with visitors.
A porch runs across the length of the
building, fronted by a tile patio and soothing
fountains…with the cats lounging lazily in
the sun, weather and moods permitting. It
also shares a parking lot with the handsome
but very functional and active winemaking
facility. With a crush pad in front, the reddish
tile roof, a tall iron gate in the center flanked
by large wooden doors, it is what people
dream of when they imagine having their
own winery here in Northern California’s
wine country.
In the tasting room, there is a comfortable
seating area with a fireplace and tile floors
that are topped with an oriental rug. Wooden
racks of bottles are decorative but most of all
functional, and down a couple of steps sits
the three-sided tasting bar. Behind the bar a
large window looks out on the back terrace,
where a bocce court gets its share of spirited
but friendly play and, when the weather
cooperates – as it usually does – the picnic
tables are another possibility for visitors to
take good advantage of, as they also do,
complimenting their picnic selection with a
bottle or two of Summers’ wine.
The Summers Estate Wines tasting room is
open daily from 10:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
(5:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday) and is
located at 1171 Tubbs Lane it is just a few
miles north of Calistoga. For directions or for
more information, call 1-866-623-1289 or
(707) 942-5508 or visit the website at

they are also dog friendly.

Winemaker Profile: Judd’s Hill Winery
JUDD FINKELSTEIN
by Michelle J. Baker
Judd Finkelstein is definitely not your
average Napa Valley winemaker. Consider
the many skills of this impressive Renaissance
man: musician, filmmaker, comedian, magician and ardent mixologist. Not to mention
perennial Gold-medal winning winemaker.
Judd began learning the fine arts of
growing grapes and making wine when he
was just a toddler. Young Judd grew up
helping out at his family’s wineries - first
Whitehall Lane, which his father, Art,
founded in 1979; then Judd’s Hill, which the
Finkelsteins started in 1989.
Judd got his creative genes from both of
his parents. Art Finkelstein, who passed
away in May, was an architect, artist, musician
and chef; Bunnie is a poet, artist and musician. Judd currently plays the ukulele both as
a soloist and in the Maikai Gents, an “old time
crooning Hawaiian band” that performs regularly throughout California. The Maikai
Gents also occasionally play at Judd’s Hill
Wine Club events such as the recent Lobster
Luau Winefest.
With a degree in television production, Judd
is also an accomplished filmmaker and video
42
producer. He currently has a series of very
funny and creative videos, available for viewing
at www.juddsenormouswineshow.com. Judd’s
theme in the videos is always about wine, and
often about not taking wine all too seriously.
Keep an eye on the website for Judd’s muchanticipated new show called “Wine Booty.
Judd keeps busy at the winery overseeing
the production of Judd’s Hill wines as well as
helping the clients of the winery’s MicroCrush
make their own wine. Even with Judd’s many
winery responsibilities, you’ll often find him
at the daily Bottle Blending Day Camp, an
opportunity for visitors to make their own
Bordeaux-style blend from four different
barrel samples.
Judd is part of a new generation of Napa
Valley winemakers who are embracing social
media as a way to make wine fun and
approachable. Judd is active on Facebook
(Judd’s Hill) and twitter (@juddshill) and is
also a member of the Napa Valley Vintners
Social Media Committee.
Earlier this year, Judd and his wife, Holly,
the winery’s president and a Renaissance
woman in her own right, welcomed their
second daughter, Ruby. Ruby frequently joins
big sister Talulah at the winery to greet visitors.
Judd’s Hill is located at 2332 Silverado
Trail, just one mile north of Trancas Street in
Napa. Because of the winery’s permit, you’ll
need to call ahead for an appointment,
(707) 255-2332 or you can book online at
www.juddshill.com by clicking the “Book a
Visit” link. On weekdays you can usually get
an appointment on short notice. You’ll have
a great time and have the chance to pick up
some of Judd’s prized and prize-winning
wines.

Richard Thomas has created a collection that
is complex in direction, simple and pure in

The pieces are delicate and witty. Richard’s

exacting eye for detail and his labor-intensive craftsmanship bring Bacchus and his
muse to life, looking shyly, touching
tenderly, exchanging existential thoughts.
You will want to hear the song, taste the
wine, share the joy. The story is exquisite,
the mood intimate, and the sensuality irresistible and inviting. Breathe it in and enjoy!

Hauck Cellars features its weimaraner, Margaux – a rescue dog –
on the label of its Sauvignon Blanc. At six months, Margaux had
already managed to go through two sets of parents. She was awaiting
her destiny: to be a rabbit-chasing winery dog! In the words of her
first owner, a British lady, “She certainly landed with her butt in the
butter!” – so true.
Greg and Jennifer Hauck think that all dogs (and cats) should land
with their butt in the butter … or at least in the margarine. So, in
honor of Margaux’s eighth birthday, and in support of the Healdsburg
Animal Shelter’s Sustainability Campaign for their brand new
building, Hauck Cellars is donating $1 to the campaign for every
bottle of Sauvignon Blanc purchased during the month of August.
Bonus: mention “Margaux” during your visit, and they’ll donate $1 for
every bottle, no matter the varietal, that you purchase.
Visit the HAS website at www.healdsburgshelter.org for information on how your dollars are helping dogs … cats … and other
animals, too!
Hauck Cellars is located at 223 Center Street in Healdsburg. For
more information, visit www.hauckcellars.com. The tasting room is
open Thursday through Monday from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday
and Saturday until 7 p.m., closed Wednesdays.

Tasting Room of the Week:
FERRARI-CARANO
by Sue Straight, The Wine Wench
At Ferrari-Carano Winery, your pleasure meter will go up appreciably just
upon entering the front gates – five acres
of award-winning gardens delight the eye
(and nose) as you wind your way up the
driveway. Once out of your car, a walkway
leads you through the well-manicured,
colorful grounds to the visitor’s center. For
good luck, stop and rub the nose of
“Bordeaux,” a 1300-pound bronze sculpture of a wild boar that sits just off the visitor’s center walkway.
The Italianate villa-style visitor’s center sits atop the gently rolling
hills of the Dry Creek Valley and the views are stunning. Inside the
visitor’s center, you’ll find a bountiful variety of upscale gift items,
including Italian pottery, tapestries, logo wear, wine and food-related
books and glittery, wine-themed jewelry. This is the perfect place to
find that one of a kind gift! A dark cherry wood bar stretches across
the back of the room, beckoning visitors to stop and sip a while. The
visitor’s center’s high ceilings echo with the conversations and laughter
of guests and Ferrari-Carano Winery’s expert hospitality team.
Downstairs is “Enoteca,” a wine-lover’s wonderland. Where a spotless barrel room once resided, an inviting wine lounge beckons visitors
to indulge in tastes of the limited-release and reserve wines. For a
nominal fee, visitors can enjoy their choice of six wine flights,
including “Scentiments,” a fun and educational tasting that focuses on
twelve fresh aromas that are present in the different wines that Ferrari-
50
Carano Winery produces. Visitors test their
“smell memory,” familiarizing themselves with
those scents and then try to identify those
same scents in the wines. What a great way to
educate your palate!
Ferrari-Carano Winery’s winemaking team
is crafting some excellent wines. With Sarah
Quider in charge of the white wine program
(and Pinot Noir too) and Aaron Piotter in
charge of the red wine program, the resulting
wines are world class.
So, let’s talk about the wines…I had the
pleasure of tasting a couple of wines that this dream-team produced,
and I can tell you first-hand that they rocked my world!
The 2009 Rosato di Sangiovese is a great example of a dry,
refreshing Rosé! Aromas and flavors of strawberry, cherry and herbs
delight the palate. This pretty pink wine is almost too easy to drink!
The 2007 Home Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon is opulently rich and
eminently drinkable. Concentrated aromas of black cherry, cassis, pipe
tobacco and spices continue as flavors in the luscious mouth. Long,
delicious finish.
Take my advice, jump in your car, wend your way up Dry Creek
Road and visit Ferrari-Carano Winery. Make an appointment for a
tour, taste their fabulous wines and take a stroll through their gardens.
It truly is an experience not to be missed!
Visit Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery at 8761 Dry Creek
Road in Healdsburg. For more information, call (707) 433-6700 or go
to www.ferrari-carano.com.

ROESSLER CELLARS
by Ronda Giangreco
Roger and Richard Roessler, two brothers with a passion for Pinot,
have proven that the old adage “do one thing and do it well” is a recipe
for success. Their dedication to finding the very finest Pinot Noir
grapes to produce single vineyard and appellation designated wines
has vaulted their small winemaking adventure to a prestigious, highly
sought after label with an award winning history that is the envy of
many larger wineries.
The brothers have moved far from their humble beginnings of a
mere two hundred and twenty-five cases of Pinot from the fruit of the
Sangiacomo family vineyards. They can now boast of production of
over seven thousand cases, encompassing fifteen different Pinot Noir
vineyards and appellations. The key to their achievements in excellence is the meticulous scrutiny given to vineyards from Santa Barbara,
to the California Coastal Region, and all the way to the Willamette
Valley in Oregon. They are constantly seeking the very best Pinot Noir
fruit grown. “By searching out grapes from premium grape growers, in
areas we feel are most well suited to Pinot Noir, we're able to show
unique and distinctive character arising from these specific sites.
Working with the growers to maintain quality is paramount to giving
us the highest quality fruit.”
Having spent over forty years in the restaurant business, Roger
Roessler was well versed in the trade and extremely knowledgeable
about wines. Having been drawn to Sonoma for many years, he often
thought of starting a small winemaking operation. A few talks with his
friends, the Sangiacomos, yielded the grapes he needed to get started.
When he contacted Wells Guthrie, a well-respected winemaker, the
Roessler label was born.
His brother, Richard also inherited the wine lover’s gene and cultivated his palate through his home winemaking hobby. In 2003, he
joined his brother in the Roessler Cellars venture. Together the
brothers have formed a partnership that combines their love of Pinot
56
Roger and Rich Roessler
and their appreciation for the beauty of the Sonoma Valley. But, these
brothers are not the only ones helping to promote Roessler wines.
Richard’s twin sons, Keith and Kevin, learned the restaurant trade from
their uncle and have
opened their own
restaurant, Zinc, in
Albuquerque. Roesssler
wines, of course, are
featured prominently on
the menu.
And now Scott
Shapley, Wells Guthrie’s
brother-in-law, has now

joined the team as the
head winemaker for
Roessler wines. Scott had
previously made wine for
Crushpad, a custom crush
winery located in San
Francisco. His passion for
Pinot
Noir
matched
perfectly with the brothers
and their vision of wines
that showcased the quality
of this marvelous grape.
Dan Heim, jumped on board as the marketing and sales director, and
Kevin McNeeley also became a partner with the Roessler brothers.
Last, but not least, Sera and Sasha, two “spoiled rotten” Rottweiler
dogs, are the soil testers and “noses“ of the operation.
While the wines are made at Carneros Vintners on Stage Gulch
Road, the Roessler Cellars Tasting Room is located just steps from
the picturesque Sonoma Plaza at
380 First Street West and is
rapidly becoming a favorite spot
for visitor’s to enjoy premium
wine. They are open daily from
11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and offer an
amazing array of Pinot Noirs to
sample either in the cozy tasting
room or on their sunny patio.
They are also now offering a three
vineyard designated Chardonnays from small lots. These
premium wines are in keeping
with the exacting specifications of
the Roessler’s vision and are a
marvelous addition to the label.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | MENDOCINO/LAKE COUNTIES
Lake County Wine Auction to be Held September 18
The Lake County Wine Alliance will hold its 11th Annual Lake
County Wine Auction, a gala benefit for the arts, health and
community of Lake County on Saturday, September 18, at 4 p.m.
This annual gala is a must-attend event with live and silent
auctions, wine and gourmet foods from local purveyors and music.
This year’s event is chaired by Budge Brown of Tulip Hill Winery;
the evening’s auctioneers will be Peter Ventura and Stephanie
Green; Rob Roumiguiere, partner in Roumiguiere Vineyards, is this
year’s master of ceremonies. Black-tie is encouraged. The Wine
Auction begins at 5 p.m.; tickets are $125 per person. Attendees
must be 21 years and older. Music will be provided by the LC
Diamonds. This year’s special guests are U.S. Congressman Mike
Thompson and Winemaker Jed Steele.
The Lake County Wine Alliance is a nonprofit organization of
Lake County wineries, winegrape growers and community
supporters whose mission is to foster the arts, benefit health
services and support the community. The Lake County Wine
Auction has contributed more than $771,000 to local programs
since the first event was held in 2000.
Each year, artist John Clarke creates a watercolor-on-silk
painting and donates it to the Wine Alliance both to be reproduced
as a fine art poster and to be auctioned off as original artwork. This
year’s piece is titled, “Beautiful Lake County – Ceago Vinegarden.”
Posters of Clarke’s painting will be on sale at several local tasting
rooms. The Saw Shop Gallery Bistro will proudly display the original until the event. Other auction items include weekend and
extended vacation getaways, wine packages, wine tasting events,
local arts and a variety of goods and services, including fine dining
opportunities.
Beneficiaries from this year’s event includes: Fine Arts Programs
at Lake County High Schools, Hill Top Recovery, St. Helena
Hospital Clearlake Emergency Department, Lake County Children’s
Dental Disease Prevention Program, Lake County Channel Cats,
Operation Tango Mike, Lake County Community Action
Agency/Safe House, Friends of the Lake County Library and Meals
on Wheels Programs at Lake County Senior Centers.
For information and tickets to the Lake County Wine Auction
contact 1-866-279-WINE or www.winealliance.org.
Located in the mountains of the North Coast where the Mayacama and Vaca ranges come together, Lake County boasts the
cleanest air in California and one of the oldest lakes on the continent. Lake County’s winegrowing regions span vast, diverse terrain
shaped by both volcanics and tectonics. Its high elevation, intense
climate and distinct soils combine to produce wines of high quality
and character that have continued to gain impressive industry
recognition. Visitors to the area experience these award-winning
wines in casual tasting rooms that reflect the area’s friendly, relaxed
lifestyle. Lake County is part of the North Coast appellation along
with neighboring regions of Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino, and
within Lake County are five designated appellations: Benmore
Valley, Clear Lake, Guenoc, High Valley and Red Hills.
Located in beautiful Northern California, Lake County is just
two hours by car from the San Francisco Bay Area, the Sacramento
Valley and the Pacific Coast. Lake County is home to Clear Lake,
the largest natural freshwater lake in California and possibly the
oldest lake on the continent. Visitors to Lake County experience
the state’s cleanest air basin, spectacular scenic beauty, fine wines,
and unsurpassed recreational opportunities – from hiking, biking,
golf, and off-road adventures to boating, fishing, kayaking, birding,
and even rockhounding. For visitor information, contact the Lake
County Visitor Information Center at 1-800-525-3743 or

2010 Jazz Legends Gala Honors George Wein, September 16
The Monterey Jazz Festival is pleased to announce that it will
honor the legendary impresario, pianist and philanthropist, George
Wein, at its 2010 Jazz Legends Gala on Thursday, September 16, at
Mission Ranch in Carmel, California. Mr. Wein is the founder of the
Newport Jazz Festival and 2005 recipient of the National Endowment
for the Arts “Jazz Master” Award.
Hosted by Clint and Dina Eastwood, the Gala will feature the
presentation of the Jazz Legends Award to Mr. Wein and will also
include a evening of cocktails, a sumptuous gourmet dinner and a
special duo performance by the Monterey Jazz Festival’s 2010 ArtistIn-Residence, four-time Grammy®-winning vocalist, Dianne Reeves
with pianist Peter Martin.
“With George appearing at this year’s MJF it is a perfect opportunity to honor him with our Jazz Legends Award,” said Tim Jackson,
General Manager of the Monterey Jazz Festival. “He is truly ‘The
Godfather’ of jazz festivals.”
The Gala is $225 per person, with net proceeds supporting the
Monterey Jazz Festival’s Education Programs, considered to be some
of the most highly regarded in the country.
The Jazz Legends Award was first presented to pianist Dave
Brubeck in 2007, and to the composer, trumpeter and bandleader,
Gerald Wilson, in 2008.
MJF’s Education Programs have a strong impact on students
and schools from coast to coast. For details about the Festival’s lifechanging youth jazz education programs, visit the website at
www.montereyjazzfestival.org.
Seating is limited at the Gala, early reservations are recommended.

Winemaker Creates New Vine Hill ‘Sea Change’ Pinot Noir
by Fred Gillaspy
Sal Godinez revels in being part of the best of two worlds at Vine
Hill Winery. One world is the historic Vine Hill property that was originally planted to winegrapes by John and George Jarvis in the 1860s.
But the other is the winery’s close proximity to Monterey Bay,
prominently visible in the panoramic vista that its 1100-foot
location affords, and the bay’s pervasive marine influences on the
winery’s Santa Cruz Mountains site.
Sal specializes in crafting fine Pinot Noir. And this fussy, yet
wonderful grape thrives in temperate climates that possess just
such dominant coastal influences – both in terms of weather, as
well as terroir. Morning layers of cool fog offset valley heat generated from the east, and the soils are themselves remnants of
