Wineology
INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER
by Len Napolitano
What is ‘hot’ wine?
Despite its connotation for things that are trendy, happening and in
demand, when applied to wine, the word “hot” is definitely not one
that makes winemakers feel warm and fuzzy.
A “hot” wine is one whose alcohol content is over the top. Along
with other components of fruitiness, tannin and acidity, alcohol is a
necessary part of every great wine, but when it dominates a wine’s
impact on the palate, it causes a burning sensation on the tongue, or
lips, or on the whole palate. When severe, it can be quite jarring to the
unsuspecting wine drinker.
Of all the components that make up a bottle of wine, alcohol is
perhaps the one that makes the biggest impact in the final product.
Because, by manipulating the amount of alcohol in the wine, a winemaker can give a dry wine an impression of sweetness, or make a thin
wine feel more full-bodied.
There are ways in which a wine’s alcohol level can be manipulated
– one takes place outside in the vineyard and the other inside the
winery.
In the vineyard, grapes that are left longer on the vine before
picking, that is, increasing its “hang time,”
will naturally develop more sugar. And it’s the sugar inside the grapes
that gets converted into alcohol during fermentation. So, if you start
fermentation with a high percentage of sugar content in the juice, you
end up with more alcohol when the fermentation finishes.
In the past ten years, the average amount of alcohol in wines has
quietly been creeping upwards. Not long ago, the average Chardonnay
contained 11.5%-12.5% alcohol, but today it’s quite normal to see
13.0% or more. And the issue is not limited to just Chardonnay. From
Fumé Blanc to Zinfandel, the trend is evident in most California
wines.
It’s hard to determine if the wine producers are simply responding
to consumer demand for more robust wines or acting on a desire to
imitate the higher alcohol levels in wines that have been consistently
getting highest scores from many respected wine critics and publications. Whichever the reason, the trend is something the wine
consumer should be concerned with. However, some wine producers
are making an effort to control the growth of high-alcohol wines.
Inside the winery, winemakers who feel that a wine doesn’t necessarily get better with more alcohol take steps to actually reduce the
alcohol content in wines that ferment to excessive heights. A mechanical process, called spinning cone technology, can be used to remove
a pre-determined amount of alcohol from wine in order to make it
more balanced, food-friendly and exhibit more noticeable delicacy
and nuance. Another method of reducing alcohol is to add water to
the fermenting juice, although this approach is not often used.
Len Napolitano lives in San Luis Obispo County and is certified in wine by the Society of Wine Educators,
Wine & Spirits Education Trust and Chicago Wine School and continually gains knowledge from his frequent
contact with California winemakers. More information is on his website, www.wineology.com.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINE COUNTRY NEWS
More Than 250 Quality Wines Under $25 at Wine Garage
Hidden next to a dilapidated ’40s-era former filling station on Highway 29 in
Calistoga lies the Wine Garage. A unique wine shop in Napa Valley that retails all
wine in the store under $25. Sound crazy? Its true. And the proprietors Todd and
Joy Miller, have hit on a niche in the Valley that had been very missed by the locals
there.
“There are a lot of winemakers here that can’t afford to drink the wine they
make” says Miller. “That’s crazy, yes, but who can afford to drink a $65 bottle with
dinner every night?”
Many people miss The Wine Garage on the first try upvalley, but the search is
well worth it. Miller stocks wine from all of California’s wine growing regions
including fifty Napa selections and 40 from Sonoma County. When he first sought
out buying the initial inventory, “I enlisted a local farmer buddy and his 15-foot
box van and off we went all over California hunting down the deals. I tried to seek
out the small producers who didn’t have distributors so I could pass the savings
on to my customers.” And Miller did just that. His store is stocked with highquality juice all under $25 and all are unique. 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’t buy it, period. Sometimes I will taste
over a hundred wines in one day, load up the truck and haul it up to Calistoga,
unload at the store, and maybe I will crawl in bed by 3 a.m. Needless to say my
buddy bowed out of the deal after their second trip. I initially recruited him on a
‘hey lets go wine tasting in Santa Barbara’ until he realized how much work it
entailed. Poor guy, he had to be at the farm at 5 in the morning.”
It is all worth it. Millers’ customers love him. He has a unique ability to hear a
verbal description of a customer’s favorite wine and translate that into a recommendation for sometimes a third of the cost. “I have people all over the country that use
me as their local wine shop. I ship right to their door – and the cost of the shipping
is 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 wineries
stop in every week saying ‘I have something that will fit into the store,’ if they only
have 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 at
1020 Foothill Blvd (Hwy 29), Calistoga, CA 94515. For more information, call
(707) 942-5332. You can also check out the website at winegarage.net.

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Tasting Room of the Week:
ZINA HYDE CUNNINGHAM
by Abigail P. Zimmerman
Zina Hyde Winery can be easily summarized: Impeccable hospitality. Exquisite atmosphere. Extraordinary wines!
Zina Hyde Cunningham Winery specializes in producing small lots
of ultra-premium wines. Vineyard sites are selected for the best climate
and soil composition with that varietal. Once the grapes are carefully
handpicked, they are fermented and aged in 100% new French oak
barrels.
Offering Russian River Valley and Mendocino County Sauvignon
Blanc, Mendocino County Chardonnay (91 pts.), Anderson Valley
Gewurztraminer, Russian River Valley Riesling, Sonoma County Rosé,
Anderson Valley and Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, Mendocino
County Zinfandel (90 pts.), Lake County Merlot, Lake County
Cabernet Franc, Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon, High Valley
Barbera (91 pts.), Lake County Petite Sirah (94 pts.), and blends
Cépage and Veola, as well as two dessert wines, Zina Hyde
Cunningham winery has a wine to suit everyone’s palate. Plus, the
number of gold and silver medals these wines have been awarded
could fill a pirate’s treasure chest!
Zina Hyde boasts more than 5,500 acres in the famed Anderson
Valley. More than 100 acres will be replanted in coming years. Zina’s
great-great-grandson owner and winemaker Steve Ledson talks
proudly about the substantial research he and his team are performing
on the property’s soil types, micro-climates, ocean breezes, temperature variables and even moisture levels – all to ensure they select the
best vines and rootstocks in combination with the soil and microclimate. Ledson adds that “we will use this information to track the
performance of the vineyard from grapes all the way to the bottle.”
Once planted, the Zina Hyde winery team believe that it is vital to
18
build the new vine up two to three years, allowing the rootstock and
cordon to fully realize themselves before allowing the vine into full fruit
production. Ledson keeps the fruit yields exceedingly low during these
formulative years so the vine’s energy goes into the root systems. One
key to Zina Hyde’s wines is this process of slow maturation in combination with limited watering initially followed by dry farming. This
strengthening of the vine “builds better color, more complexity, and
more intensity,” says Ledson “resulting in wines deep and rich in character.”
It is true that the best wines start in the vineyard. “To make a great
bottle of wine, you have to have exceptional fruit.” And the result of
this careful, exacting work? Simply one of the best Pinots in the world!
In 2010, Zina Hyde Cunningham Winery will be planting 30 new
acres of Pinot Noir. The first vintage will be available for sale in 2014.
Think that’s a long way off? Not in terms of wine. In fact, insiders-inthe-know are already a-buzz about this upcoming release. But at Zina
Hyde, the first release is always given to club members. It’s just the
winery’s way of saying “thank you” to loyal fans and customers.
A special opportunity to sample Zina Hyde Cunningham’s awardwinning, cult wines will be their huge bash this summer! Come to the
Taste the Place party at the winery on July 31, 2010. Purchase your
tickets in time to enjoy a progressive wine tasting and exploration with
the winemaker. The event is fabulous with live music, delicious foods
and Zina’s award-winning wines. No wonder it sold out last year! So
don’t wait and buy your tickets now.
Zina Hyde Cunningham Winery is the culmination of five generations of winemaking experience. The long rich Cunningham family
history started in Mendocino County in 1865 where Zina Hyde
Cunningham brought his vision of producing the very best wines from
his winery and vineyards. Today, you can still enjoy this legacy by
visiting the tasting room, one of the most beautifully designed old
buildings in all of Mendocino County in downtown Boonville if you
would like to have the chance to sample Zina Hyde Cunningham’s
limited-production, ultra-premium wines.
Wines are also available to order from the Zina Hyde Cunningham
website at www.zinawinery.com.
Visit Zina Hyde on your next trip to Anderson Valley at 14077 Hwy.
128 in downtown Boonville next to The Boonville General Store and
across the street from The Boonville Hotel. The tasting room is open
daily, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (707) 895-9462.

WINERY FEATURE | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
MURPHY-GOODE WINERY
by Charles Neave
In my experience, Murphy-Goode Winery simply does not make a
bad wine. Having tried more than my share over the years, they have
always been wines that have become favorite, tried-and-true staples
on my short list of wines that I would never hesitate to buy, order and
drink. It is rare that I appreciate every varietal that they craft and that
quality stays high vintage after vintage. The fact that each and every
one is priced very nicely does not hurt either.
When the Jackson family bought Sonoma County’s MurphyGoode, they acquired a winery that had been founded in 1985 by
three friends – Tim Murphy, Dale Goode and Dave Ready – who built
their enterprise on a foundation of good wine, friendship, hard work
and what they describe as a “wicked sense of humor.” Friends of this
winery, of which there are legions, are happy to find that those attributes have not changed. All you have to do is drop by the tasting room
to see for yourself; but we’ll get back to that.
In the early years the winery’s founders concentrated on
Chardonnay and Fumé Blanc, made with fruit from the MurphyGoode Vineyard and Murphy Ranch. As their popularity grew they
began to form partnerships with local growers and farmers. Winemaker, grower and winery owner Jess Jackson was one of those neighbors, and in 2006 he and his family acquired the winery.
Today, David Ready, Jr. continues the tradition of the founders. As
winemaker he works not only with fruit from the original vineyards,
but with an expanded portfolio of properties. While their white wines
are still justly revered, many people now look to Murphy-Goode for
finely crafted red wines in the Bordeaux tradition.
20
So in addition to their Sauvignon Blanc The Fumé, with the perfect
texture and fruit notes, there is the Deuce Sauvignon Blanc using
River Ranch fruit. “In true Deuce fashion, I even put a great portion
through malolactic fermentation for an even broader feel with bonus
points of complexity … It’s round, plush texture matches well with
smoked fish, grilled pork tenderloin or Asian stir-fry.”
To round out the whites there is the rich, slightly buttery and
complex Island Block Chardonnay that’s aged completely in French
oak, a Sonoma County Chardonnay aged in both oak and stainless
steel, and the Minnesota Cuvee Chardonnay, “Which continues to be
one of my favorites. Being born and bred in Minnesota, I was really
excited to find out about a little stave mill in the south-eastern corner
of the state. Staggemeyer Stave Mill is a family-run business that
produces extremely tight-grained barrel staves for the wine industry.”
Minnesota and California Wine Country together; who would have
thought?
As you move onto the reds, try the Alexander Valley Merlot. Even
if you’re not a fan of this grape you will be quite surprised by its
assertiveness. Then there is the Liar’s Dice Zinfandel made from 80year-old vines at Ellis Ranch and the 30-year-old dry farmed vines of
Elaine Maria and the Trusendi Ranch.
Snake Eyes Zinfandel comes from the best Zinfandel fruit that the
Alexander Valley produces. To round it out there are also half-bottles
of a rich but not overly sweet Late Harvest Zinfandel “Box Cars” if you
are feeling indulgent. The winery also bottles Petit Verdot, Malbec and
a trio of Clarets (the traditional blend of Bordeaux varietals).
When it comes to Cabernet Sauvignon you have quite a list to
chose from. Five in all, from the Alexander and Sarah Block Cabs to
WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINERY FEATURE
the Adams Knoll, Ellis Ranch
and Terra a Lago labels. Some,
like the Sarah Block, are good
candidates for aging. Others are
aged for a long period (18 to 22
months) in oak, and some, most
notably the Terra a Lago, have
amazingly concentrated flavors.
The vineyards vary but the fruit is
uniformly first rate, as is the
winemaking. All are wines you
can appreciate alone or with
food. To pick your own favorites,
you must head to Healdsburg.
In keeping with the original
Murphy-Goode traditions, their
tasting room is brimming with a
refreshing sense of humor in a
comfortable, wine country
contemporary space, wellstocked with a wide variety of
their wines, a healthy number of
them available for tasting. This is
also where you can purchase
their rarer or small production
wines, and wines in large format
bottles which are perfect to set
aside for a few years (traditionally large bottles age longer in
the cellar since the oxygen-towine ratio is less) or to give as
impressive gifts that are sure to
be appreciated by any recipient,
on any occasion.
After your visit you will also
discover something else: the
tradition continues and that
wicked sense of humor has not
abated. And fans of the winery
have to be thankful of that.
The handsome MurphyGoode tasting room in Healdsburg (about half a block from the
historic town square) is located at
20 Matheson Street. They are
open daily from 10:30 a.m. until
5:30 p.m.

Call for Entries for the National Women’s Wine Competition
Deadline for entries is March 8 – nwwc.info
Wineries! What do women want in a wine? Since women make
60% (or more) of the wine purchases in the United States, it only

the wine industry. Medal winners can be assured that the leading
women in wine have judged their wines exemplary. In fact, to win a
Bronze or Double Gold medal, all judges must be in agreement.
There are two competitions:
• The Open competition is open to any winery worldwide.
• The Women’s Winemaker Challenge is open to wine made by
women.
Entry Deadline is March 8, 2010

Entry Fees until March 1 are: $75 for paper entries, $65 for online

came to Sonoma County on a wine buying trip and just fell in love
with the area. After the tour, you are invited to taste Ferrari-Carano
wines at the Villa Fiore tasting bar or in the Enoteca Lounge. Winery
tours are by appointment, Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m., based

Perfect Pairs
Casa Nuestra Winery
Chenin Blanc with
Napa Valley Crab Cakes
“Crab, by its very nature is a delicate shellfish, not to be overpowered by a heavy or oaky white wine,” says Chef Jon at Casa
Nuestra Winery as he reaches for a bottle of the recently bottled
2009 Old Vines, St. Helena Estate Chenin Blanc and pours it into
the glasses waiting beside a platter of his Napa Valley Crab Cakes.
“Our Casa Nuestra Old Vines Chenin Blanc is a particularly good
choice,” he says, “since it is a delicate acid-forward wine with hints
of grapefruit and melon. The freshly squeezed lemon juice and the
light dressing of oil and rice wine vinegar in the bed of baby field
greens on which the cakes rest, are a good balance against the
mayonnaise based fried crab cakes. Don’t let the word ‘fried’ put
you off. There is not the slightest hint of grease in the preparation.”
The cakes should be loose, but not falling apart and the texture
of the finished cakes can be adjusted by adding a judicious amount
of Panko bread crumbs. For perfect cakes, do not work the crab
mixture too vigorously. For a finishing touch and a note of
complexity Chef Jon tips in just a few drops of hot sauce before
placing the cakes into the sauté pan.
Jon pre-heats his pan and fries his cakes in butter on medium
heat. He allows about three minutes a side till the cakes are golden,
lightly crisp and cooked through. As he pours the wine, his final
word of advice is to be generous when pouring the wine, and be
ready with seconds on both the wine and the crab cakes Fortunately crab of one sort or another, including canned, is available
from some source all year and an excellent choice of vegetables to
mince and blend with the traditional Old Bay Seasoning are always
at hand, especially in California.
The Chenin Blanc may be in limited supply since Casa Nuestra
is a small winery and the Chenin is one of its most favored wines,
so don’t let the new vintage sell out before you have put away
several bottles or a case or two to enjoy with your crab cakes the
rest of the year.
Open Monday-Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

First, foremost and always, the Suisun Valley in Solano County just
25 minutes from Napa, has its roots – often quite literally – in the business and passion of agriculture. And nowhere is that more evident
Silverad
Napa
than in the rich earth and thriving vineyards and farms of the Suisun
Valley, the stretch of land that runs to the west of Fairfield and Interstate 80, and borders the county of Napa on two sides.
Perfectly situated between a pair of coastal mountain ranges, the
Mount George Range on the west and the Vaca Mountains to the east,
this verdant six by two mile valley sits within the Coastal climate
region. It is also an area where fog rarely visits, though it is not far from
both the Sacramento River delta and San Francisco’s San Pablo Bay.
Set within this compact area are more than 10,000 acres of rich
farmland, almost a third of them planted to the grapes that help
supply the area’s flourishing wineries, and many with a more familiar
Napa Valley label. This region is part of the North Coast Appellation,

Suisun City Mankas Hills Winery
The Napa Back Road
a district famous for what is known as “ultra-premium” fruit, which
in the case of wine lovers everywhere means wine grapes, planted to
a staggering number of both familiar and rare varieties.
If you look at a map of where many growers in Napa County and
beyond source their grapes or own vineyards, you will be surprised at
how many have vineyard holdings here. This is in addition to the
dozen or so wineries that call the Suisun Valley their home, and both
make, age, bottle and market their wines here. Many also have their
own tasting rooms, and during the year hold – both individually and
collectively – special events to lure those who appreciate wine to their
cellar doors.
The Suisun Valley is also dotted with farm stands and working
farms that welcome visitors. There are quaint spots to eat and relax,
and it is the driving force behind the annual Tomato Festival in Fairfield, and for other events that occur throughout the year. But most of
all it stands as enduing symbol of the real, living heritage of this part
of the hidden but treasured wine country of Northern California.

Winemaker Profile: William Hill Estate Winery
RALF HOLDENRIED
by Michelle J. Baker
In under three years as winemaker at William Hill Estate, Ralf
Holdenried has put this iconic label back on the map. Critics are
starting to take notice: Robert Parker recently scored the 2006 William
Hill Estate Bench Blend Cabernet Sauvignon “one of the finest Cabernets under this label in over 20 years” and went on to say that the
2007 “looks even better.” Parker also rated the 2007 William Hill
Estate Bench Blend Chardonnay 88 points.
Recently Holdenried spoke with Wine Country This Week about
making wine at William Hill Estate.
You grew up in Germany as part of a winemaking family.
What part of that do you bring to making wine at William Hill Estate?
Growing up with farming and winemaking gave me a strong sense
of working with natural processes that are always evolving and
always needs care. I remember constant conversations about the vineyard blocks and what state they are in and what may come and how
we react to that. There were similar conversations about the wines we
had in the winery and bottles that were for sale.
What I took away from this is a sense of how dynamic the winemaking process is and how critical it is to stay in touch with every
stage so you understand, learn and react properly. It is a very
dynamic and fluid process that is always evolving and changing.
You’re making wine in a very unique area.
Can you talk about the estate and what makes it special?
We are blessed with a unique vineyard property on the Silverado
Bench, above the valley floor, and below the steep slopes of Atlas
Peak. The Bench was carved eons ago by a bend in the Napa River as
it cut its way into the valley. River rocks mix with eroded volcanic
soils washed down from the mountains above us. A southwestern
exposure gives us perfect conditions for wine grapes. This is a landscape with so many variations in detail that I farm the vineyard by
the tenth of the acre, matching each vine to its site.
At William Hill Estate you give a starring role to some lesser known
Bordeaux varietals – Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
What do you think makes each of them worthy?
The William Hill Estate is a fantastic place within Napa to grow
all of the red Bordeaux varieties. They all express both their varietal
character as well as an expression of the site on the Silverado Bench.
With the individual bottling of a small volume of each of the five
Bordeaux varieties we can show a range of delicious wines from a
great site in Napa, as well as providing an education for wine
drinkers that is hard to find anywhere.
Each of the varieties is very true in character. Each wine is bold,
fleshy and fruit-driven, and the fruit expressions of the different vari-
32
eties provide a unique discovery for wine lovers. Malbec is more
fragrant with hint of violets; Petit Verdot, full of dark aromas and
cassis; Merlot is the fruitiest with strawberry jam aromas; and
Cabernet Franc has bright red berry notes complemented by herbs,
sage and an earthy character. Our signature Cabernet Sauvignon is
distinguished by dark fruit and mocha.
What’s your favorite part of your job?
Being able to create wines is a gift in itself, and I am grateful that I
am allowed to do it. Most exciting to me are the interactions with all
the different aspect of crafting the wines. This starts with farming
and all the challenges involved there, continues with the art and
science of the winemaking process, as well as the presenting the wines
to those who will enjoy them. These are all very different worlds that
contribute to making a great wine that people will savor and appreciate.
Taste the William Hill Estate Wines at 1761 Atlas Peak Road, Napa.
Tours and tastings are available daily, by appointment, from 10 a.m. to
5 p.m. For more information, call (707) 265-3024 or visit the website
at williamhillestate.com.

Irish Wines will be Smiling in Napa Valley
An Irish Themed Wine & Food Tasting Featuring Wines from
Irish-0wned, Named and Ancestry Wineries Served Alongside
Freshly Prepared Traditional Irish Dishes & Irish Cheeses
When Irish Wines are Smiling is the inaugural tasting to honor
those of Irish decent working in Wine and Food in California. There
is a long history of Irish involvement in the wine trade globally
dating back to the 18th century.
Winegeese is the name given to the emigrant Irish families and
their descendants who, from the 18th century onward, engaged in
the wine trade in the various countries of their adoption. Today, their
names and labels have become synonymous with quality on the
international wine market and many of these pioneering wine families have played significant roles in the viticultural development of
some of the finest wine-growing regions around the world, ranging
from the Napa Valley in California to the Loire Valley in France, the
Clare Valley in Australia and the Hemel En Aarde Valley in South
Africa.
More information on the Winegeese can be found at
www.irlfunds.org/winegeese.
The name Winegeese is a play on the Flight of the Wild Geese
which occurred in 1691 and refers to the departure of an Irish Jacobite army from Ireland to France. And, according to historical
records, the Irish helped launch the wine industry in America. The
oldest commercial surviving winery in California prior to Prohibition, the San Jose winery, built by the Santa Barbara Mission in the
early nineteenth century, was owned by Irishman James McCaffrey
from 1853 to 1900.
Today, there are dozens of wineries in California, and beyond,
that have a link in one form or other with the Emerald Isle. Many of
these wineries and their owners are involved with the Winegeese
and it’s umbrella organization, The Ireland Funds, charitable work.
When Irish Wines are Smiling takes place Sunday, March 14 from
2 to 5 p.m. at the Rutherford Grange Hall in Rutherford. Tickets are
$25 in advance, $30 at the door. A portion of the proceeds to benefit
Rutherford Grange.
The event will feature live traditional Irish music and will highlight the contribution made by the Irish to modern Californian wine
by showcasing some incredible and hard to find wines. These wines
will be the perfect accompaniment to the selection of Irish Cheeses
available along with the dishes prepared by a number of Chefs
including Chef Bob Hurley.
Follow the event on Facebook for updates as they happen at
www.facebook.com/whenirishwinesaresmiling.
Confirmed wineries include O’Brien Estate, Napa; Sullivan Vineyards, Rutherford; Murphy Vineyards, St Helena; Taylor Family
Vineyards, Stags Leap; Twomey Cellars, Calistoga; Dillon Vineyards,
Yountville; Fitzpatrick Winery, Sierra Foothills; Kelley & Young
Wines, Alexander Valley; Harrington Wines, Sonoma/SF; Irish
Family Vineyards, Murphys; Waits-Mast Family Cellars, SF; and Mc
Grail Vineyards, Livermore.
Confirmed Food Vendors are Hurley’s Restaurant, Yountville with
Chef Bob Hurley and his team; The Napa Valley Wine Train – Chef
Kelley Macdonald and his team; along with a selection of Irish
cheeses provided by the Irish Dairy Board.
Napa Zinfandel Trail Launches New Website
The Napa Zinfandel Trail, a new association of Napa Valley wineries that specialize
in the production of wine from California’s
historic grape variety, is announcing its
premiere and the debut of its website
www.napazintrail.com.
Historically, Zinfandel was one of the
primary red grapes prized by early Napa
Valley winemakers and today comprises
just over 2% of the valley’s overall wine
production. The Napa Zinfandel Trail
wineries focus on producing world class red
wines from this variety that is known for its
characteristic spicy, raspberry, and blackberry flavors.
Scientific research has recently shown
38
that Zinfandel is of Croatian origin but as
Zinfandel migrated to California during the
19th Century Gold Rush it took hold as the
favored wine grape of pioneer winegrowers
who loved its flavorfulness, its healthy
production and ability to adapt to the
diverse regions of California.
In Napa Valley it was Captain Joseph
Osborne in the 1860’s who is credited with
the first planting of Zinfandel in what is
today known as the Oak Knoll District of
Napa Valley.
By organizing, the wineries seek to
educate consumers about the rich history of
Zinfandel in Napa Valley and guide wine
adventurers to their cult-following small
production wines that can be impossible to
find in stores. And because the wineries are
family-owned and off the beaten path, the
Napa Zinfandel Trail group says it is for
those wine explorers seeking to discover
the less traveled roads and interact with the
winemakers in their less commercial and
more rural and intimate surroundings.
The Napa Zinfandel Trail association of
wineries includes: Hendry Winery, Robert
Biale Vineyards, Elyse Winery, Titus Vineyards, Chase Cellars, Tres Sabores, and The
Terraces and more information, maps, and
appointments can be obtained by calling
the wineries directly and through the association’s website, www.napazintrail.com.

SEQUOIA GROVE WINERY
by Charles Neave
When Michael Trujillo, director of winemaking and president of Sequoia Grove
Winery in the Napa Valley, home of one of
the most famous and venerable Napa Valley
labels (especially for red wine) in all of the
region, first started his career in agriculture,
it was a long way from grapes. In fact, it was
in the ranch country and farmland of
Southern Colorado, where he grew up and
where the growing cycle and the soil first
became a part of his daily life. But his own
philosophy of growing grapes and making
wine soon evolved when he moved to Wine
Country.
“I tend to make my wines so that they
require little patience,” he says. “Which
means that while the wines we make are
very approachable and very pleasant to
drink on release, they also evolve beautifully
as they age in the bottle. That doesn’t mean
that the wines have to sit for five or ten
years, it simply means that they actually get
better over time.”
As thousands of wine lovers can certify, a
well-cellared Cabernet Sauvignon from
Sequoia Grove is a pure delight in a bottle.
But of course it begins in the vineyards, then
is brought to life during the winemaking and
42
cellaring process.
“I look to create wines with varietal
expression, structure and balance,” Michael
says. “When it come to style, I look towards
traditional winemaking, no question about
it. But this is California, so in the end it’s our
own style of making wine that defines our
wines.
“For me, vineyard balance is first, which
means vineyard location makes a huge
impact: the soil types, the physical location
of the plantings and the climate. Balance
includes everything from the roots of the
vines to the canopy to the fruit.”
Depending on the varietal, whether the
fermentation process is carried out in stainless steel, oak, or a combination of both, and
on cooperage – barrel aging – the wine is
likewise tailored to the wine it will hold. So
it might be in both small and large barrels.
Some American oak is used, as with the
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The rest of
the time it is in the venerated (and very
expensive) French oak barrels. Every wine is
then aged in the bottle for a minimum of
twelve months before going to market. The
Estate Reserve bottlings, which have a
following of their own and are the most
coveted, are kept ‘on oak’ longer then the
other wines before their release.
Sequoia Grove makes two Bordeaux-style
Cabernets (one of them the famous Rutherford Bench Reserve), a Chardonnay using
grapes from Napa’s cooler Carneros District,
the Stagecoach Syrah made from grapes
grown on Atlas Peak, above Napa, Rebellious Red plus a crisp Sauvignon Blanc
In their new tasting room, you’ll find a
wonderful place to reflect on the philosophy
behind the wines. Done in what many
people might call “wine country casual” it’s
also very stylish, with a beautiful garden.
The staff members are friendly folks that are
enthusiastic, knowledgeable and helpful.
They can talk about favorite local restaurants, other wineries and area personalities
with the same assurance that they explain
winemaking, barrel aging and fermentation
techniques as you sip your way through
their tasting menu of exciting and sometimes
surprising wines.
The tasting room at the 22-acre Sequoia
Grove Vineyard is open daily from 10:30
a.m. until 5 p.m. It’s located at 8338 St.
Helena Highway (Highway 29) in Rutherford. For directions or for more information, including details on tours and the
food and wine pairings offered, look at
www.sequoiagrove.com or call 1-800-8517841 or (707) 944-2945.
Class of 2010 to be Inducted into the Vintners Hall of Fame
The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) will honor the 2010 Vintners Hall of Fame inductees on March 13 with a day-long Celebration
of California Wine & Food, culminating in the Vintners Hall of Fame
induction ceremony. The ceremony will be preceded by a 6 p.m.
reception featuring wines representing the 2007, 2008 and 2009
inductees. The 2010 class to be inducted includes longtime Napa
Valley grower Andy Beckstoffer; Al Brounstein, founder of Diamond
Creek Vineyard; Randall Grahm, founder of Bonny Doon Vineyard;
veteran winemaker Zelma Long; and Leon Adams, a founder of the
Wine Institute.
The evening celebration continues with a walk-around dinner in
the school’s Teaching Kitchen with celebrity chefs and winemakers
including Michael Chiarello, Todd Humphries, Christopher Kostow,
Anne Gingrass-Paik and Sarah Scott. Guests will dance the night away
to the sounds of Jeffrey Campbell & Megan Slankard while enjoying
desserts created by renowned pastry chefs, including Emily Luchetti
of Farallon in San Francisco.
Guests joining this year’s Celebration will have the opportunity to
attend a morning Wine & Food Salon at the CIA at Greystone
followed by a wine country lunch, tour and tasting at a prestigious
Napa Valley winery. There are a limited number of seats available for
Creating Flavor: The Art of Food & Wine Pairing featuring wine
expert and Chair of the CIA’s Rudd Center for Professional Wine
Studies, Karen MacNeil, and CIA Chef Bill Briwa. Wine writer and
chair of the VHF Electoral College, Blake Gray, will join David Breitstein for the morning’s other Wine & Food Salon, Big, Bold, and
Beautiful: Tasting Historic Magnums from the California Collection of
David and Judy Breitstein.
The cost of the evening reception, induction ceremony and walkaround dinner is $250 ($150 tax-deductible). Each $250 ticket
includes the opportunity to purchase a Wine & Food Salon seat and
a tour, tasting and lunch at a Napa Valley winery for an additional
$150 ($75 tax-deductible).
For more information, contact Reuben Katz, (707) 967-2305 or

Tasting Room of the Week:
ALDERBROOK WINERY
by Nan Reiley
Sonoma County has 13 different wine
regions (appellations), and each of them
has unique climate and soil characteristics
that suit them for growing certain grape
varieties. Dry Creek Valley, for instance,
where Alderbrook Winery is located, is
famous for the quality of its Zinfandel.
Nearby Russian River Valley, cool and
forested, is best known for its Pinot Noir
and Chardonnay. Alderbrook takes advantage of both regions’ vineyards to produce
high-quality bottlings of these wines, plus
Pinot Grigio and that stalwart red Italian
wine, Carignane.
The winery is owned by Anthony “Tony”
Terlato, a Chicago-born wine merchant of
Italian descent, whose business enterprises
extend into every aspect of winemaking. He
is also the owner of two prestigious Napa
Valley wineries, Chimney Rock and Rutherford Hill, and the well-known Sanford
Winery in Santa Barbara. The enjoyment of
good wine and food with friends and family
is dear to Tony’s heart, and he takes these
every-day comforts very seriously. “Quality
endures,” he says, “and it is what we are
50
remembered for.” His goal is to make every
sip of his wines a pleasurable experience,
and a visit to Alderbrook’s tasting room will
prove that he is in step with that goal.
Alderbrook capitalizes on its Dry Creek
Valley vineyards to produce some of the
finest Zinfandel wines being made in California today. The winery is conveniently
located just outside the charming, trendy
town of Healdsburg, and it is a delightful
place to visit. Alderbrook’s tasting room is
fronted by a broad-roofed porch with comfy
tables and chairs that seem to issue an invitation to you to sit down and relax for a
while. Inside, gleaming light oak floors and
high ceilings create a sense of spaciousness
and light. The staff is welcoming and wine
savvy. The extensive selection of gift
merchandise makes it easy for you to stock
up on presents for family and friends at
home, or to pick out a souvenir for yourself.
And if you’ve called ahead to place your
order, you can be greeted by a gourmet
picnic luncheon to enjoy on the porch. (See
the winery’s website for details.)
Alderbrook’s winemaker, Bryan Parker,
also makes wine with the Terlato label. One
luscious example is the Terlato 2006
Russian River Chardonnay, a lovely Burgundian-style wine with notes of pear and
peach and a clean, silky texture. And of
course, since Tony Terlato is responsible for
introducing the American wine-drinking
public to Pinot Grigio, there is also this
refreshing, tasty variety under the Terlato
label. But the Alderbrook wines are red
oriented, with the emphasis on Zinfandel.
You’ll find four vineyard-designated Zins as
well as Syrah, Pinot Noir from the Russian
River Valley, and a unique blend of
Zinfandel and Syrah called Confluence, a
happy marriage of two great red wines.
All Alderbrook wines are sold only in
the tasting room or online, an added incentive to pay a visit. Many of the wines are
sold in attractive gift sets, too – the perfect
solution to finding a good present for the
wine lovers you know. The winery is
located at 2306 Magnolia Drive, Healdsburg. The tasting room is open daily from
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Telephone 1-800-4055987 or go to www.alderbrook.com for
more information. P.S. Check out the
events calendar on the website – lots of fun
parties coming up this year!
California’s Artisan Cheese Festival, March 26-27
California’s Artisan Cheese Festival – the premiere cheese and wine
event at the Sheraton Sonoma County in Petaluma – is heating up! A
slew of exciting new events have been added to this year’s line-up,
including an interactive moveable feast and a barn dance that is guaranteed to kick off this year’s festivities in a boot-slapping way.
Friday Night Barn Dance – Friday, March 26
Held at Green String Farm in Petaluma, this toe-tapping evening
includes live music from the Green String Farm Band, Texas barbecue
with a Sonoma twist from Brandon Guenther of Valley Ford’s own
Rocker Oysterfeller’s, local favorite Lagunitas beer, and of course,
artisan cheese and their creators. You’ll get the chance to kick up your
heels while mingling with the festival’s signature speakers and
honored cheesemakers.
Curds, Cooks and Cuveés: A Moveable Feast – Saturday, March 27
Chefs John Ash and Jacquelyn Buchanan lead this eight-course interactive tasting event that features top cheesemakers paired with a chef
and a winemaker. Guests will spend the evening interacting and tasting
these inspired cheese-centric creations paired with fine wines from
Fortress Vineyards, Lange Twins Winery and Sonoma County Vintners.
In addition to the eight chef/cheesemaker stations, there will be a full
Cheese Tasting Buffet followed by a decadent Sweets Lounge serving
sparkling and dessert wines to accompany dessert and cool jazz.
Cheesemaker & Chef Pairings:
• Bellwether Farms and Christian Caiazzo of Osteria Stellina

Starks Steakhouse & Willi’s Wine Bar
• Cypress Grove Chèvre and Lars Kronmark,
Chef Instructor, Culinary Institute of America, Greystone

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | MENDOCINO/LAKE COUNTIES
Mendocino Coast Hosts Three Whale Festivals in March
The Mendocino Coast is all set for the 28th
Annual Mendocino and Fort Bragg Whale Festivals. Something new this year: the Little River
Whale Festival.
More information is at www.MendoWhale.com.
Mendocino Whale Festival – March 6 & 7
Wine tasting and whale watching will be the
featured attractions. On Saturday, many wineries
will set up tasting stations in inns, galleries and
shops throughout Mendocino Village and Little
River, while the area’s top chefs produce their
favorite seafood chowders in a tasting event. A marine mammal art
exhibit, plein-air (live outdoor painting demonstrations) and docent-
led walks are all part of the two-day festival.
Little River Whale Festival – March 13 & 14
A Taste of Little River is what visitors are
promised during this festive weekend.
Savor bites from the kitchens of the town’s
noted chefs, sips from Mendocino County
vintners, history and birding walks in Van
Damme State Park, artist studio tours,
cheese making class, fireside talks with local
historians, and a free night’s stay at many
Little River inns. View whales from an
unspoiled ocean bluff at the old Spring Ranch. For more details, visit
www.tasteoflittleriver.com.
Fort Bragg Whale Festival / March 20 & 21
Microbrew tasting and whale watching will be the featured attractions of the 28th Annual Fort Bragg Whale Festival, March 20 and
21. On Saturday, the area’s top chefs will produce their favorite
chowders, along with dozens of microbrews provided by the Fort
Bragg Rotary Club. A marine mammal art exhibit and crafts fair are
also part of the two-day festival. View whales from the Pomo Bluffs
Park in Fort Bragg and miles of beaches in MacKerricher State Park
just north of the city.

LIVERMORE | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Livermore Valley Winegrowers Host Second
Annual Barrel Tasting Weekend, March 20-21
More than 25 Livermore Valley wineries will participate in
the region’s second annual Barrel Tasting Weekend by offering
samples of wines still in development – direct from their
barrels. Guests with special event wristbands and official
tasting glasses will receive at least one barrel sample at each
participating winery. Many winemakers will be present to
personally pour and discuss their young wines and offer delicious pairings with gourmet appetizers, artisan cheeses, choco-
late and nuts.
Barrel tasting provides wine enthusiasts of all experience
levels with a fun “snapshot” of how wine evolves – from grape
to glass. Guests will have the opportunity to pre-purchase
some of the wines now, before they are bottled and released to
the public (a practice known as buying “futures”).
This special event will take place on Saturday, March 20 and
Sunday, March 21, from noon to 4:30 p.m. each day at participating Livermore Valley wineries. Locations will be
announced on www.LVwine.org in February.
Ticket prices are $25 per person when purchased online at
www.LVwine.org by March 19 and $30 per person at any
participating winery during the event. Price includes at least
one barrel tasting at each participating winery, one official
tasting glass and an event map. For more information, visit
www.LVwine.org or call (925) 447-WINE (9463)
Livermore Valley’s Barrel Tasting Weekend is sponsored by
the Livermore Valley Winegrowers Association, a 501 c(6)
organization which supports the wineries, growers, and
members in the Livermore Valley American Viticultural Area
though educational and marketing programs.

Santa Cruz Mountains Wineries Pour at
the 6th Annual ‘Pinot Paradise’ Festival
Pinot Noir lovers will savor the flavors and explore the magic of the
Santa Cruz Mountains at the sixth annual Pinot Paradise festival
March 27-28, 2010.
Pinot Noirs from the Santa Cruz Mountains represent the diversity
of micro-climates and dramatic mountain terrain that define the region.
The marine influence and distinctive soils create intensely concentrated
fruit that yields some of the most complex and age-worthy Pinot Noir
in the world. There are six sub-regions in this winegrowing appellation,
each bearing their own characteristics in their wine.
Sunday, March 28, features a Technical Session in the morning
from 9 a.m. until noon, and the Grand Cruz Tasting in the afternoon
from 2 to 5 p.m., both at the Villa Ragusa in Old Town Campbell. The
Grand Cruz Tasting will showcase more than 60 Pinot Noirs paired
with gourmet hors d’oeuvres from some of the region’s best restaurants. A special V.I.P. Package will offer a private, pre-event tasting and
guided “tour” in small groups at 1 p.m. prior to the Grand Cruz
Tasting. Participants will meet with select winemakers, taste their
wines and learn in detail about the Santa Cruz Mountains and the
distinct flavor profiles of its sub-regions. Tickets for the Grand Cruz
Tasting are $55 in advance, $65 at the door; $75 with the V.I.P.
Package.
The morning’s Technical Session explores the influence of different
yeasts on the flavors and development of Pinot Noir, both in the vineyard and in the winery, in a program entitled “Yeast Gone Wild, Only
in the Santa Cruz Mountains.” Tickets are $55 and reservations are
required.
Saturday, March 27, Pathway to Pinot Paradise offers a self-guided
tour of the region’s Pinot-producing wineries. Barrel tasting, library
wines and special offerings by participating wineries will be available.
Visitors can enjoy exploring the incredible mountain terrain and
coastal roads as they discover the delightful world of the Santa Cruz
Mountains. Tickets are $25.
Tickets and more information are available from the SCMWA at
(831) 685-8463, www.scmwa.com or via email at [email protected].
Rain Forest Weekends Now at Roaring Camp Railroad
Learn about California’s own rain forest … its forests of coastal
redwoods. Roaring Camp is offering weekend excursions of the Rain
Forest by rail through March 28.
Located in the Santa Cruz Mountains just a few miles from the
ocean, the forest flourishes in moderate temperatures and a year-round
water supply provided by frequent Pacific systems and dense fog.
Roaring Camp CEO Georgiana Clark says, “In winter, California’s
rain forest is most dramatic. Storms whip branches; foliage glistens;
and the air is filled with the aroma of California bay laurel and tanbark
oak.”
Trains operate Saturdays and Sundays at 12:30 p.m. through
March 28th. Tickets are $21.50 adult, $15.50 child (3-12 years).
Parking is $8. Roaring Camp is in Felton, six miles north of Santa
Cruz. Exit State Route 17 at Mt. Hermon Road, left at Graham Hill
Road, then 1/2 mile to the entrance. For information, call (831) 3354484 or visit www.roaringcamp.com.

Winemaker Wednesdays at Shadowbrook Restaurant
In an effort to promote wines produced in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Capitola’s landmark Shadowbrook Restaurant is offering Winemaker Wednesdays, featuring half-price wines from the appellation
now through May.
Each week Shadowbrook will be featuring two to four wines from
a Santa Cruz Mountains winery, offered by the bottle or glass. Wednesdays, beginning at 5 p.m. a representative of that week’s winery will
offer tastings and information from a table set up in the restaurant’s
Rockroom Lounge.
That night all wines from the week’s winery, whether ordered in the
bar or dining room, by the glass or bottle, will be 50 percent off the
regular price. Featured wines will also be available in flights (about 2.5
oz, also half-price), accompanied by complimentary appetizer.
“This is a great way to promote the growing number of fine wines
being produced in the area,” said Shadowbrook owner Ted Burke.
“With 73 wineries in the Santa Cruz Mountains appellation, it’s impos-
sible for us to stock them all permanently. This promotion will give
wineries and winemakers an opportunity to reach a larger audience
and gain new followers, while providing Shadowbrook’s patrons with
quality local wines, many of which are medal winners in state, national
and international competitions. I also believe locals will find it a
welcome alternative to the typical $125-per-person winemaker
dinner.”
The promotion is being done in concert with the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association, and Burke said interest from wineries
has been strong and enthusiastic. To ensure that customers get the best
possible information, wineries are required to have their Wednesday
table staffed by the owner, winemaker or an equally informed individual. They are also asked to provide informational materials so the
Shadowbrook wait staff can be knowledgeable about the wines.
For additional information on the schedule, call (831) 685-VINE
(8463) or visit www.scmwa.com.
