INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER
BY LEN NAPOLITANO
When is it necessary to decant wine?
Have you ever felt that in the course of going through a bottle of
red wine, or even in the course of finishing just one glass, that the
wine improves over a period of time? That’s because it is getting an
opportunity to “open up” or mix with air.
Decanting, the process of pouring red wine from its bottle into a
new vessel for the purpose of aeration – or separation from sediment-hastens the mixing of air and wine and is usually a good idea when
serving finer wines.
Besides the occasions when you observe sediment in the bottle,
the time to decant is when you have an aromatic red wine that will
get more expressive when it is finally aerated. How do you know
which wines are more aromatic? That depends on the grape varietal,
the age of the wine and in many cases the price.
Speaking generally, lower-priced wines, selling at less than around
$15 a bottle are less likely to have the aromatic qualities of the more
expensive wines. Small production wines are more likely to be
aromatic than the mass production wines. Young wines, say less than
five years old, will be less aromatic because they have not yet fully
developed in the bottle. They will require more aging before fully

appreciating its aromatic potential through the decanting process.
Some people believe that it is a good idea to decant every red
wine, regardless of age or quality. This approach certainly does no
harm and in most cases will bring the best out in the wine sooner. But
most wines today are made to be consumed immediately. For these
wines, aeration will probably not make a noticeable difference. For
finer red wines, with layers of complexity from fruit and extended
oak aging, decanting is a small extra step that will add to the
ceremony of wine enjoyment and most likely bring out all that the
wine has to offer.
Many red wines of significant age, and some young ones, will have
a small amount of sediment at the bottom of the bottle, or clinging to
its side. The sediment is simply the natural residue from tannin
molecules combining with color pigments in the wine over time and
settling at the base of the bottle. There is no harm in drinking this
residue, but it is not at all pleasant. It is generally worthwhile to take
the step of decanting these wines so you can enjoy the wine without
tasting the harsh bitterness of the sediment.
An alternative to decanting wine into a separate container for the
purpose of allowing it to open up is to pour wine into a glass, or
glasses, in advance of consuming. This method works well when
preparing to serve dinner guests. About 30 minutes in advance of
seating, fill the glasses with wine to allow the wine to breathe and
open up before the first sips are taken.

BY JOSH STEIN
Picking Decisions: Reds
Close your eyes and think back to the red wine that first
hooked you on wine. Think about its aromas and flavors, the
magic on contact, the depth and weight of its mid-palate, the
length of time it remained after swallowed. Was it a higher acid
red, or was it tannin-filled? How noticeable was the oak, and
how “sweet” or vibrant the fruits? Believe it or not, that end
picture is what we start with as our target in mind as we go to
pick and make wine from red grapes.
When we start to make picking decisions, there seem to be
lots of variables, like variety, Brix (sugar) levels, acid levels,
maturity for depth of flavor and color, upcoming weather, etc.,
but I start with the processing in mind: how much color,
intensity, tannin do we want in the finished wine? Starting there
makes the subsequent decisions less overwhelming because they
deliberately take options off the table. Lower-alcohol, lessintensive wines call for lower Brix grapes handled in an easier,
“old school” fashion; higher-alcohol, “fruit-” or “tannin-bombs,”
in the parlance of our times, call for more extreme farming and
Brix levels and tend to involve extended pre- and postfermentation soakings. One style isn’t “better” than the other,
especially as it’s more a spectrum than extremes, but there are
technical production differences.
Options abound: temperture control matters for reds as much
as it does for whites. Reds are generally done at higher
temperatures than whites, and as with any cooking, heat equals
speed; for wine, that means the potential to get too hot or go too
fast, potentially killing the yeast and leaving the fermentation
stuck, which increases the likelihood of other issues. About 85°F
is what we generally aim for in reds, which will translate into
about a week to ten days until pressing and movement to barrels.
Sometimes you want a little more color release, so you let the
temperature nudge into the low-90s; sometimes you want to
preserve more aroma, so you keep it “low and slow” in the mid70s, extending the fermentation a week or two or more.
When you hear mention of “house style,” this is one of the
ways in which it comes about. Each wine’s fermentation may be
its own little ship at sea, if you will, but the winemaker is the
admiral of them all, pulling together a range of varieties through
subtle tweaks. The vessel used adds to this as larger tanks make
it logistically easier in some ways as there is less to get lost or
done wrong than when working with dozens of small tanks or
bins, yet the potential for heat issues can be greater because of
the size of the columnar liquid masses; it’s not easy to get 10,000
gallons up to temp, and it’s not easy to stop it once it’s going, for
example.
12
Equally, the method employed to cause agitation, punchdown
or pumpover, as well as the number of times done daily, has an
impact. Think of your personal style of letting a teabag steep (or
not – you know who you are) and you have an analogous
situation as agitation causes more mixing of liquids and solids in
the fermenting must. Even when done, there are stylistic choices:
post-fermentation contact with the gross lees or separation into
barrels, casks or tanks before fermentation is even fully done?
Intensity, of course, leads to discussions of alcohol and sugar.
Residual sugar is actually something which is easy to control if
the winemaking is detail-oriented. Fermentation is never the
same twice, but each and every one can and must be tracked for
temperature, yeast health, amounts and kinds of nutrients, Brix
and alcohol, and other leading indicators of how well and how
fast the conversion of sugars to alcohols and malic to lactic acid,
if applicable, is happening. Arresting the fermentation, pulling
the emergency break, if you will, is generally done through
shutting down the temperature and adding enough sulfites to
knock out the yeast. It’s more of a coast than a dead stop, but
attention to the numbers and experience usually produce desired
results. This is obviously aided or held back by the starting Brix
levels, as noted above.
I like to think of fine winemaking as very much akin to fine
cooking and baking, so it’s no wonder the two go hand in hand
in wine country. We strive through our winegrowing, like the
chef who grows and raises her own flora and flauna, to produce
fantastic “ingredients” for which we have recipes developed
through education, time in others’ cellars and experience. The
next time you sip a red, think about what decisions were or were
not made, and consider, too, what you would have done the
same or differently had the recipe been yours to tweak. Enjoy!

ON THE COVER | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Steve Ledson Purchased Mountain Terraces
BY MIKE HYLAND
Sonoma County winemaker and entrepreneur Steve Ledson is
getting set to open his third winery, following in the footsteps of his
Ledson Winery & Vineyards in Sonoma County and Zina Hyde
Cunningham Winery that opened several years ago in Mendocino
County. In addition, he also owns the posh Ledson Hotel and Centre
du Vin restaurant on the historic Plaza in downtown Sonoma.
On December 31, 2012 Ledson closed on the purchase of
Mountain Terraces Vineyards that he bought from his good friends
Gloria and Dan Schaefer, who have been working the property and
bottling their Akoma Zoume (meaning “live on” in Greek) wines for
some 20 years. The property is 125 acres (80 acres are planted to
grapes) of the most scenic mountainside access in all of California.
The vineyard is located on the southwestern slopes of the Mayacamas
Mountains, in an area known as Moon Mountain, 1800 feet above
the Sonoma Valley floor. The incredible views of the Valley and the
entire San Francisco Bay leave a lasting impact on visitors from
around the world.
Ledson will work with the Schaefer’s to begin a phase out of
Akoma Zoume wines and to begin bottling a new label, from the
incredible Bordeaux and Rhône varietals that are grown in the
vineyards. Steve Ledson and Dan Schaefer have been making wines
together for the last three or four years, with Ledson purchasing fruit
from the vineyard for the past ten years. Schaefer’s other business, a
clean energy fund called Ygrene, began in 2009 and has kept him
traveling, rather than tending to the vineyards. A year or so ago,
22
Ledson mentioned to Schaefer that if he ever wanted to sell the
vineyard to give him a call. The call was made and the deal was done.
“Our plans are to replant the whole ranch over the next seven
years,” says Ledson. “We’re going to replant different rootstocks,
different clones, different spacing, different row directions, different
everything. A lot of the rows are 10 and 12 feet wide and the vines
are six and eight feet apart. It is just not the best use of this
incredible piece of property.”
The plan calls for bottling world-class Cabernet Sauvignons as
well as one of the best Rhône blends you’ll fine. “We have already
begun featuring the Akoma Zoume wines at the hotel and restaurant
in downtown Sonoma, and within the next few months we will be
introducing our new label.”
According to Ledson, the production of the new brand will be
around 500 cases available exclusively to members of the new
Mountain Terraces club. The production will increase once the
replanted vines start producing. The membership of this elite club is
very limited and offers not only access to world-class wines but
accommodations for several night stays, an experience you won’t
forget. Members are invited to an exclusive vineyard tour on top of
the mountain as well as a tasting and to stay at one of the two
guesthouses offering stunning views of Sonoma Valley and the greater
Bay Area. On clear days even the Golden Gate Bridge is visible. A
shuttle service or a helicopter flight can be arranged. No matter how
visitors will reach the top of the mountain, they’ll be in for an
unforgettable experience.
WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | ON THE COVER
More than 100 years of winemaking excellence!
The addition of Mountain Terraces wines to the already
impressive slate of Ledson’s hospitality companies brings yet another
component in providing a complete and wonderful wine country
experience for all of their guests.
“We constantly strive to provide a unique, satisfying and world
class experience,” says Ledson, “I am particularly ecstatic about the
future of Mountain Terraces Vineyards and the potential to grow
some of the best grapes in the country.”
And by the way, you can expect more news about additional
expansions coming soon from the Ledson camp
Philanthropist and fifth-generation Sonoma winemaker, Steve
Ledson founded Ledson Winery & Vineyards in 1993, and his
family has been farming grapes and making wine in Sonoma County
for 150 years. Ledson Winery is located at 7335 Sonoma Highway in
Kenwood, and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more
information, call the winery at (707) 833-2330 or visit the website at
www.ledson.com. For details about mountain top tastings and
vineyard tours at Mountain Terraces Vineyard, call (707) 833-2330.
When in Sonoma stay at the Ledson Hotel located at 480 1st
Street East on Sonoma’s historic Plaza for the perfect wine country
weekend. Ledson Hotel is home to The Zina Hyde Cunningham
tasting room as well as the French bistro, Centre du Vin, a launching
pad for everything wine country. Wine tastings are offered from 10
a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information about Ledson Hotel, call (707)

Chateau St. Jean, with its gracious style, elegant architecture and inviting gardens and
tasting rooms, is the quintessential Sonoma winery. The winemaking estate is located at
the foot of Sugarloaf Ridge in the Sonoma Valley near Kenwood. Founded in 1973,
Chateau St. Jean has long been recognized as a leader in vineyard designated wines.
Their flagship wine, the Cinq Cépages Cabernet Sauvignon, put Sonoma County on the
wine map and with the newly released 2010 vintage; it’s the perfect time to visit and taste
this iconic wine.
The 2010 Cinq Cépages (“Five Varieties”) is a Bordeaux-style blend consisting of 78%
Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec.
Each year, Winemaker Margo Van Staaveren selects fruit from the finest Bordeaux varietal
vineyards to craft a wine that showcases the best of Sonoma County. The primary grape
sources for the 2010 vintage are Alexander, Dry Creek, Knights and Sonoma Valleys. The
Alexander Valley grapes highlight bright berry with back notes of dried herbs, while the
Dry Creek Valley brings in black fruit characteristics and rich texture. The Knights Valley
fruit adds boysenberry flavors and elegant tannins and finally, the Sonoma Valley grapes
bring black, dense mountain fruit to the blend. Each component is aged separately for
twenty months in 88% French and 12% American oak before blending. Once the
components are assembled, the blend spends an additional year in the bottle before
release.
The 2010 Cinq Cépages is a stunning color in the glass, deep ruby with a subtle violet
colored rim. Layered aromas are vivid; black plum, blackberry compote, clove spice,
tanned leather and a hint of fresh tobacco leaf. Secondary aromas of raspberry and spiced
cherry mingle with notes of violet and pomegranate all combine to lead to an incredibly
juicy palate. Nuanced flavors of espresso and a distinct mocha component add to the
complexity. The full-bodied wine has smooth, silky tannins that offer solid structure but
do not overwhelm. The wine is plush and approachable yet complex and appealing in the
glass. In signature Cinq Cépages form, this wine combines the strength of the diverse
Sonoma County region to create a well-balanced, complex and powerful wine.

Peju is, quite simply, a place unlike any other. It’s no accident that
the winery is called Peju Province, for it presents a world unto itself
and tasting experiences unlike anything else you can find. Originally
founded in 1983 by Tony and Herta Peju on thirty acres in
Rutherford, Peju is now also the responsibility of daughters Lisa and
Ariana and has expanded its reach to include the one hundred
twenty eight-acre Persephone Ranch in Pope Valley, too. The winery
is well known for its highly regarded bottlings of Cabernet Franc,
Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah
and several blends, including the proprietary Provence, a red and
white cuvée, and Fifty/Fifty, an equal mix of Cabernet Sauvignon and
Merlot, the 2009 bottling of which was declared one of “Twelve Napa
Standouts” by Wine Spectator. There are also several tasting-roomonly releases, including the lovely white Carnival; Peju Pink, with ten
percent of its proceeds funding cancer assistance in the Valley; and
the Rosé of Syrah.
Thirty years on, the entire family is deeply committed to
sustainable farming practices to ensure that the land will be
preserved for future generations. Peju’s “H.B. Vineyard” in Rutherford
is certified organic while the Persephone Ranch and Wappo Vineyard
are sustainably farmed; Ariana Peju launched the “Harvesting of the
Sun” project by taking Peju solar in 2006. To date, 720 panels have
been installed over 10,000 square feet of the winery’s roof, generating
36% percent of the winery’s needs. In 2009, Peju was certified as a
Napa County Green Winery & Bay Area Green Business, and Tony
even offered cash incentives for staff to switch to electrical vehicles.
It’s not just the wines and the ways their grown which make Peju
unforgettable, though. The winery and its surroundings and the
variety of options for experiencing the wines are what truly set Peju
apart. Driving down the arching-Sycamore-lined private lane away
from Highway 29 leads to first sight of “the Tower,” the fifty-foot,
copper-topped space which houses the main tasting area, framed on
the inside in gorgeous woods and an antique 1906 ten-by-twenty-foot
stained glass window and on the outside by stone and copper.
Surrounding this are the gardens designed by Tony and personally
maintained by Herta herself. A Curly Willow grows next to a koi pond
on the “Willow Creek” side of the garden, and rocks from the Pope
Valley estate dot the area. The circular courtyard in front of the winery
contains a magnificent Camphora Tree which is used to drape lighting
for galas outside and which ushers you into the experiences which
await.
And those are the true standouts as even a “regular” tasting at Peju
is far and away anything but regular. The Classic Tasting is
conducted in a novel presentation style, with groups of tasters
spending time with an ambassador who discusses the wine,
WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINERY FEATURE
This wine has amazing
pedigree and in 1999, Chateau
St. Jean was the first Sonoma
winery to be awarded the
prestigious “Wine of the Year”
award from the Wine Spectator
Magazine for its 1996 Cinq
Cépages Cabernet Sauvignon.
The winery received high
acclaim again when it received
the “#2 Wine of the Year” from
Wine Spectator for its 1999
Cinq Cépages Cabernet
Sauvignon.
Join them for their new Cinq
Cépages Blending Experience in
the historic chateau. A wine
educator will talk a little about
the history of Chateau St. Jean
and Cinq Cépages before
introducing the five varieties of
grapes that make up the wine.
After tasting each varietal and
learning its specific use in
blending, guests will create their
own blend using a pipette and
beaker. It’s great fun and can be
a bit of a friendly competition.
Each participant will leave with
a bottle of their unique blend
and will also be able to taste
both the 2009 and 2010
vintages. Reservations are
necessary and space is limited to
eight guests.
Visitors to Chateau St. Jean
will be able to taste some
exquisite Vineyard Designated
wines. Many different wine
flights are available and their
lush secluded gardens are
perfect for exploring. Spend
your wine country afternoon on
the chateau patio overlooking
rows of vines. Gourmet
sandwiches, salads, artisan
cheeses and wines by the glass
are available to enjoy at any of
their picnic tables. To reserve

vgs CHATEAu POTELLE
‘Civilized but not Completely Domesticated’ on Mt. Veeder and in St. Helena
BY JOSH STEIN
VGS Chateau Potelle was born when Jean-Noel Fourmeaux du
Sartel moved from France in 1980 to be part of the California
winerush which overtook sleepy Napa after the Judgement of Paris.
Welcoming the chance to be creative in making wine rather than tied
to Old World rules, he found California wines at first too different
from the wines he wanted to make, too bold and too oaky, that they
would not pair well with food, so he went looking to Mt. Veeder to
provide the balance of California sun and cooler, altitude-driven
growing conditions to produce wines of full-flavored elegance, perfect
matches to the California cuisine, with its emphasis on seasonality
and freshness, then beginning its cultural ascendancy.
Jean-Noel sums up his goals then and now thusly: “Our vision at
Chateau Potelle is to produce wines with style and character that are
representative of their birth place. Our job as winemaker is to respect
and exploit the unique qualities of our ‘roots’ to craft wines with a
sense of style and personality.” As almost thirty-five years in Napa
attests, Chateau Potelle has built a solid reputation for its avant-garde
approach and for its commitment to quality. While the VGS bottlings
of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah,
and Zinfandel are well-known for their excellence, for those seeking
wines further away from the conventional, try the VGS Explorer
series. All VGS Chateau Potelle wines are available only at the Tasting
House & Garden, online on www.vgschateaupotelle.com and in
select restaurants. Current wines include Grenache Blanc, “Inevitable”
white blend, Rosé, Sauvignon Blanc, “The Illegitimate” red blend and
a late harvest Zindandel.
In order to showcase these wines in a more welcoming, updated
locale, the winery just opened its new VGS Tasting House & Garden
and teamed with Michelin award-winning La Toque Restaurant to
28
create gourmet food pairings with each wine being tasted. Open
daily, the Tasting House is located in St. Helena on the corner of
Highway 29 and Dowdell Lane, two blocks south of downtown.
Jean-Noel explains the reasoning behind explicitly pairing small
plates with the wines: “The Tasting House and Garden reflect the style
of our wines: elegant, restrained, and extremely well done in all
details. Since our wines are made for food, every wine tasting
includes a food pairing. Who better to provide the food bites than
Ken Frank, one of the most creative and wine-savvy chefs in Napa
Valley? He also echoes the Chateau Potelle mantra: fun, easy,
sometimes irreverent but never pretentious.”
Indeed, each wine is paired with a food creation that helps guests
understand the complimentary flavor elements while also causing
smiles. VGS Chardonnay is paired with Cauliflower Horseradish
Veloute, Maine Lobster and Root Vegetables. VGS Cabernet
Sauvignon is paired with Niman Ranch Prime New York Strip Loin,
Smokey Aioli, Potato Crisps and Trumpet Mushrooms on Rye.
Sauvignon Blanc is accompanied by a chilled English Pea Shooter with
Laura Chenel Chevre and Madras Dust. Equally as exciting, the wine
and food pairings change approximately every ten days, so each visit
will showcase showing new and seasonally driven, revealing the range
of possibilities in the wines. Guests have the opportunity to taste
inside at small banquettes or outside in the newly landscaped garden,
and reservations are highly recommended.
Of course, the interesting possibilities don’t stop there, but club
membership is needed to fully enjoy all the winery has to offer,
including a special Club Room and separate garden area for tastings,
as well as the seasonal five-course “Lunch Above the Clouds”
overlooking the Mt. Veeder vineyards. I think you can see why this is
the winery locals often only whisper about, wanting to keep the good

times on the down low. So, don’t be fooled by the location, and
good luck pining down these kind folks as to what “VGS” actually
stands for, but that’s all part of the fun and a big part of why JeanNoel and the winery are still around after more than three decades:

Ralf joined William Hill Estate in 2007, bringing with him extensive experience from both Napa and Sonoma.
He melds grapes from hand-selected vineyard blocks that deliver intense flavor characteristics and his wines are a
testament to the extraordinary vineyards of southern Napa. His passion for expressing the distinct qualities of
specific varietals comes through in the glass as his soft and elegant wines reflect the unique terroir of their
benchland estate. His dedication brings William Hill exquisitely balanced wines layered with depth that are truly
delicious and worth the trip.

Author and Wine Expert Len Napolitano Shares
Five Reasons for Visiting Wine Country This Fall
Until the end of October, wine regions across the country celebrate
harvest. It's the best time of year to tour wine country for its non-stop
activity and all-around eye-catching beauty, says Len Napolitano,
author of Nose, Legs, Body! Know Wine Like The Back of Your Hand.
“Visiting wine country is always fun, educational and memorable
any time of year, but right now it’s peak season for all three,” says
Napolitano, whose fast and simple wine book for beginners is a “best
seller” in winery tasting rooms. Napolitano offers the following
reasons for an autumn visit to your favorite wine region:
1. inhale the pungent aromas of fermenting grapes.
The fragrance produced from the conversion of sugar to alcohol is
hard to describe. It has sweetness to it and a hint of alcohol. For
many, just a short whiff is an intoxicating delight.
4. Explore the picturesque, tree-lined back roads
in search of a new favorite winery.
When traffic slows the main drag running through wine country,
it’s the perfect moment to take an unplanned detour along the
back roads and hit some wineries outside the mainstream. Take
this opportunity to find a hidden gem that would have otherwise
been missed.
5. Experience being in the “eye of the storm.”
When you visit wine country at harvest, also known as “crush,”
you are in the center of the action. Crush is the talk of the town in
restaurants, on sidewalks and in tasting rooms. If you’re a wine
beginner, it’s a great time to advance your wine education by
listening and asking lots of questions!
2. Witness grape processing in action.
Wine production facilities bustle with activity, from truckers transporting bins of just-picked grapes from vineyard to winery, to
crews sorting grapes alongside a conveyor, to the sound of
machines crushing and pressing grapes, to cellar workers filling
new barrels with wine. When visiting, ask if you can take a peek
inside the facility to watch the action. By November, most wines
will be in cellar, quietly aging until bottling, which could be as
soon as early 2014 or as late as 2016, depending on the type of
wine and the winemaker’s desires.
3. Catch the changing colors on the grapevines.
The leaves on grapevines start transitioning from green to gold
this time of year. Bring your camera!
Len Napolitano was enjoying a career in engineering when he
realized his skills in technical sales, writing and marketing could be
combined with his passion for – and knowledge in – wine. That’s
when he exchanged his calculator for a Cabernet. He was the
“wineologist” on TV’s Fine Living Network from 2003 to 2010 and
now explains complexity with clarity in his weekly wine column here
in Wine Country This Week magazine. Len has certification from
both the Society of Wine Educators and the Wine & Spirits
Education Trust.

Suisun Valley: Napa’s Little Sibling Gains Notice Again
BY JOSH STEIN
Let’s get the hard part out of the way: it’s pronounced “Sih-soon,”
and the name comes from the Suisunes tribe, for whom it and the
Bay were named. Napa wineries have looked to the east’s next valley
over for many decades, but it’s only relatively recently that Suisun has
begun to gain wider notice. A few years ago, a 90-point Syrah was
made from a single vineyard source by Rosenblum, and, given how
much Suisun Valley wine is out there labelled Napa, Sonoma,
Mendocino and North Coast, it’s about time people took notice of
what’s been in their bottles all along!
Planted originally in the mid-nineteenth century, Suisun Valley
originally supported a range of growers and Mangels Winery, one of
the largest pre-Prohibition wineries in the United States before time
and phylloxera did their damage. In the years since, wineries from
throughout the North Coast purchased grapes for blending from
several dozen growers, and, in 1982, Suisun Valley was given official
AVA recognition. Given the soils, climate, maritime influence,
irrigation and heat levels are the same as just on the other side of the
Vacas, map lines have had more to do with the timing of that
recognition than anything else.
Today, approximately 3,000 acres are under vine in the Suisun
Valley, and that fruit continues to be sourced by numerous Napa and
Sonoma wineries for inclusion in multiple product lines. Ironically,
this isn’t noted on most labels since the rules for location allow a
percentage of blended wine and the appellation “North Coast” spans
from Solano through to the Sonoma and Mendocino Coasts, allowing
the unknown sibling to remain under cover. Regardless, there are
now more than a dozen wineries with tasting rooms in the Valley,
including Vezér Family, Blue Victorian, Ledgewood Creek and
Wooden Valley Winery, plus a collective tasting room housing
another half-dozen smaller producers. What may be most surprising
is that more than a dozen Napa wineries offer Suisun Valley bottlings,
32
including those from V. Sattui, Croze, Forlorn Hope, Olabisi and
Quixote.
Going one step further is the just-permitted project by Caymus in
Cordelia, and understanding its significance requires a moment of
Napa history, too. In 1968, the Napa County Board of Supervisors
passed a zoning ordinance that created the country’s first Agricultural
Preserve, which holds that agriculture is “the highest and best use” of
most Napa County land, making it very difficult to expand
production footprints, even for longtime wineries, without
tremendous amounts of capital for land acquisition first. The
ordinance has been vital to preserving Napa as Napa, but what are
growing wine companies to do today?
This is why Caymus’s just receiving permits to break ground on
vineyards and winery in Cordelia, a literal whistlestop town only
visible from local roads in Solano County, is such a game-changer for
Suisun Valley. Their purchase of 260 acres allows the processing of
wines outside the Napa regulations and actually closer to
transportation lines, which is really a huge impact on wineries
seeking to expand. As romantic as a hillside setting is, getting full
trucks up to and down from it is no fun, as I have plenty of personal,
white-knuckle experience to testify. Being on a major transportation
corridor saves lots of time and hassle – which means lower costs to
everyone, including the consumer most of all.
One can see the slow growth in recognition actually helps today’s
Suisun Valley. In a world looking for the new, the different, the
undiscovered, here is the Valley, almost exactly the same today as it’s
been for a century and a half: quietly producing great wines which
help out its far-better-known siblings, Napa and Sonoma. Do yourself
a favor the next time you’re headed to the latter. Stop off of Interstate
80 and take Suisun Valley Road to taste what the North Coast has
been keeping quiet to itself for a long time. You’ll be glad you did –
enjoy!

The caves are finished with handmade Austrian

breakfast at the Sonoma Golf Club, affiliated with
The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa. Sit
back and enjoy their signature lemon cottage
cheese pancakes, while overlooking the scenic
golf course and sipping your mimosa.
Afterward, head over to Robert Hunter
Winery for their unique garden tour at their
private estate. I am fond of their sparkling and
Pinot Noir.
Then it’s off to the VJB Vineyards & Cellars
to taste their wonderful Italian varietals and for a
little lunch from their Mercado. They are serving
delicious grilled paninis and pizzas from their
brick oven, and have great picnic tables in the
patio of their brand new Villagio.
After a short drive across the valley, you will
arrive at Repris, Sonoma’s newest and most
exciting winery (open by appointment only).
Their friendly crew tours you through their
facility and into their enormous 18,000-squarefoot caves for barrel tasting. Then they load you
into an ATV and whisk you through the vineyards
to the top of the mountain. You’re now looking
down at the entire valley with views spanning all
the way to San Francisco. What a jaw dropping
view!
Now for a little pampering, Fairmont’s Willow
Stream Spa, offers a wide array treatments to
sooth your stress away. Start with a soak in the hot
spring pools which are filled from a natural
spring. Your Provider will come for you for your
hot stone massage.
Now if you are not completely mush, it’s time
for the Chef’s tasting menu with wine pairing in
Santé, the resorts signature fine dining restaurant.
WCTW: If you were to visit just one winery, which
would you choose and why?
MP: It’s hard to pick just one winery because it
really depends on what type of experience the
guest is looking for. Jarvis Winery offers a
beautiful cave tour with a natural waterfall, a
knowledgeable and friendly staff, wonderful wines
and a sit down tasting with cheeses. I would also
recommend Round Pond Estate, they have both
the winery and the olive mill, that offers quite a
selection of fun things to do.
WCTW: Where do you send guests that want to
learn about wine?
MP: Joseph Phelps has some great seminars. I
also love Dean at Sequoia Grove, he really has a
great sit down tasting and is very knowledgeable.
WCTW: Where would you take friends to learn
about/taste organic wines?
MP: Frogs Leap. Love their gardens and laid back
approach to things.
WCTW: What areas would you recommend that
are not part of the popular wine country?
MP: Coombsville District … Ackerman Family
Vineyards; also Chiles AVA … Volker Eisele is a
great wine and great down-to-earth experience.
WCTW: Tell us the best wineries to bring pets.
MP: Raymond Vineyards is set up beautifully for
bringing your dogs, I also like Regusci Winery.
They’ve got plenty of their own dogs running
around and it’s a beautiful property, not to
mention great wines!
WCTW: Which wineries have the best winerelated gifts items?
MP: Sutter Home has a great selection of winerelated gifts.
Remember: Please sip responsibly! Plan to taste at no more than three wineries based on these recommendations.

Judd’s HiLL BARREL
BLENdiNg dAY CAMP
Personal winemaking without the vineyard or the wait!
BY SUSIE DINEEN
Harvest is over and the grapes are crushed, but at Judd’s Hill you can make your
own wine year round!
Known for being the pioneers in personal winemaking, Judd’s Hill has worked with
local grape growers for over 20 years, producing small lots (as little as one barrel) of
wine with fruit from their vineyards. But with the growing passion for great wine,
Judd’s Hill has found a way to share this excitement with wine enthusiasts across the
country with their Barrel Blending Day Camp.
Barrel Blending Day Camp is a great program for anyone looking to create their own
wine without the vineyard or the wait. It’s been a hit with companies looking to create
fun and unique corporate gifts, enthusiasts looking to kick start their own wine brand,
as well as wine lovers looking for a unique Napa Valley wine adventure. For anyone
who wants to take their wine experience to a new level, blending your own barrel at
Judd’s Hill is a great way to go.

The barrel blending experience begins in the morning, when your palate is fresh,
and usually lasts about 2 to 3 hours. The large hand-made table in the tasting room,
built years ago by founder Art Finkelstein, is transformed…. Butcher paper lines the
table top, allowing blenders space to freely jot down notes throughout the creative
process. A selection of essential tools are available to work with, including Erlenmeyer
flasks, various sized graduated cylinders, calculators for determining percentages, a
selection of blending vessels, and of course, lots of wine glasses!
You’ll begin by tasting through a variety of ultra-premium single-vineyard, 100%
varietal wines, including multiple Cabernet Sauvignon sources, Cabernet Franc, Merlot
and Petit Verdot. Once you have a feel (or taste!) for the individual flavor profiles, the

experimentation begins. Guided by winemaker, Kenn Vigoda, you’ll
use the tools provided to create a variety of combinations. You’ll do
side-by-side comparisons with each blend, putting your sense of
smell, taste and mouth-feel to work. You may find your perfect
cuvée on your first try or your sixth, but either way you are
guaranteed to enjoy this fun and educational process leading to your
personally blended barrel of wine.
If distance keeps you from attending a blending session, no
worries! Kenn, who has over 30 years of winemaking experience in
the Napa Valley, can create and send blended samples to you based
on the flavor profile you desire.
Interested in a varietal other than the classic Bordeaux? Maybe a
Lodi Old Vine Zin or a Sauvignon Blanc? Whether it’s a specific
varietal or appellation you’re after, Judd’s Hill will match you with
the wine that fits your needs, and do it all at a bottle-cost
comparable to that of a mid-priced wine from your favorite retailer.
Once you’ve put your blend together or have chosen a single
varietal wine, it’s time to think about your label! Will it include a
family name? Your company logo? It’s up to you! Let your creativity
take control. Judd’s Hill will help you through this process by taking
care of the compliance aspect of your label and teaming you up with
one of the many experienced graphic designers that work with their
MicroCrush vintners.
The final phase in creating your own wine is getting it from barrel
to bottle. This can vary anywhere from a month to a year, depending
on the vintage and varietal you choose. Once bottled you are left
with 24 cases (per barrel) of personally blended, bottled and labeled
wine created by you!

discount on everything in the gallery
through October 20.
“We currently have a full inventory of
beautiful, fresh works by leading American
artists so shop now,” states Ms. Schaer. “In
over 20 years, we’ve never had a sale so this
is the fist and the last one. All of my wellknown art glass artists are represented such
as Jack Storms, Richard Satava, Stephen
Schlanser and Randy Strong, to name just a
few. We also have the works of several
ceramic artists and fine art painters
represented. All are 20% off.”
Since opening in 1990, RASgalleries has
been at the forefront of the fine art glass
movement. Representing American artists
exclusively, the gallery has featured the finest
artists in the medium and regularly hosted
single artists shows that draw collectors from
around the United States. The central
location and prominent displays have been
an eye-catching centerpiece of Washington
Street in the middle of Yountville.
Schaer will continue in business as a
curator, fine art consultant and private art
dealer. “While I have mixed emotions about
closing RASgalleries,” Schaer says, I think I’ll
have more flexibility now in how I do
business. With over two dozen years in the
art business, I have an established client
base. And, another retail location is not out
of the question at some time in the future.”
Schaer thanks Yountville, her neighbors,
friends and clients who have been so
supportive over the years and welcomes all
to come to the gallery and take advantage of
the once-in-a-lifetime sale prices and to have
beautiful art glass in their lives. “At 20% off,
how can anyone resist?” she asks.
RASgalleries is located at 6540
Washington Street in Yountville, next to
Bouchon Bistro in the Edward James
Courtyard. For more information, call (707)
944-9211 or email: [email protected].
Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., daily.

With the 2013 harvest well under way, the
deLeuze family is celebrating 45 vintages of worldclass wines known for unrivaled quality,
consistency and style. To mark the occasion, ZD
will host a Harvest Festival on October 26 from 12
to 3 p.m. at their Rutherford property. The event is
complimentary for First Taste wine club members
and $30 for all other guests. In addition to
enjoying live music, food and ZD’s current wines,
guests will have the exclusive opportunity to
sample fermenting 2013 Chardonnay.
ZD Wines also offers several tasting experiences
and tours at the winery. Guests can explore the
organic Rutherford Estate vineyard during the Eco
Tour. From the Vineyard View Room, they can take
in ZD’s landscape while indulging in expert
pairings of cheese and award-winning wines. The
Library Selection Tour allows guests to discover
vintage wines as they begin showing the essence of
their varietal.
ZD’s flagship wine is Chardonnay, but it is also
well known for world-class Pinot Noir and
Cabernet Sauvignon, along with additional varietals
through the Rosa Lee’s Whim limited releases.
These small production offerings, selected annually
by first generation ZD owner Rosa Lee deLeuze,
have ranged from Barbera to Pinot Grigio to
Malbec and this year, Semillon. When available,

Third Annual Napa Valley Film Festival Announces
This Year’s Line-Up of Must-See Star-Studded Films
sneak Preview screenings include saving Mr. Banks, August:
Osage County, The immigrant and Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom
Napa Valley Film Festival (NVFF) Co-Founders and Directors
Brenda and Marc Lhormer are proud to announce several of the
festival’s star-studded headlining films, as well as the first set of
honorees to be feted at the Celebrity Tribute Program, hosted by
Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush. Showcasing the year’s best new
independent films in 12 uniquely designed screening venues along
with Napa Valley’s finest food, wine and hospitality, NVFF returns in
full force with a five-day festival spanning Napa Valley’s four postcardperfect towns of Napa, Yountville, St. Helena and Calistoga,
November 13-17.
On Opening Night, Wednesday, November 13, the Festival will
present August: Osage County, based on the award-winning play, and
directed by John Wells, one of the most prolific writers, directors and
producers for television, film and stage. The film stars the legendary
Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, as part of a dysfunctional family
returning to their home in Oklahoma. Sam Shepard, Juliette Lewis,
Ewan McGregor, Julianne Nicholson, Margo Martindale, Chris
Cooper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Abigail Breslin round out the
stellar supporting cast. Courtesy of The Weinstein Company.
Two-time Academy Award® – winner Emma Thompson and fellow
double Oscar® – winner Tom Hanks will “wow” audiences with a
Gala Presentation, on Thursday, November 14, of Saving Mr. Banks,
directed by John Lee Hancock and inspired by the extraordinary,
untold backstory of the long road Disney’s classic Mary Poppins took
to make it to the big screen. The terrific supporting cast includes
Colin Farrell, Jason Schwartzman, Bradley Whitford, B.J. Novak,
Rachel Griffith, Kathy Baker and Paul Giamatti. Courtesy of Walt
Disney Studios.
In addition to August: Osage County and Saving Mr. Banks, NVFF
will unspool the following new films:
The Immigrant: Directed by James Gray, this emotional film brings
to life his obsession with social class, in particular the immigrant
experience that relates to his Russian Jewish heritage. In search of a
new start, Ewa Cybulski and her sister sail to New York from Poland.
When they reach Ellis Island, doctors discover Magda is ill, and the
two women are separated. Alone and desperate to unite with Madga,
Ewa falls prey to Bruno, a charming but wicked man who forces her
into prostitution. The arrival of Orlando the Magician restores her
hopes for a brighter future. Starring Marion Cotillard, Joaquin
Phoenix and Jeremy Renner. Courtesy of RADiUS – TWC.
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom: The Festival Closing Night
Film, Sunday, November 17. Directed by British filmmaker Justin
Chadwick, this powerful film depicts the tumultuous history of
Nelson Mandela and his harrowing life journey from rural childhood
to anti-apartheid crusader to President of South Africa. Starring Idris
42
Elba (The Wire) and Naomie Harris (Pirates of
the Caribbean; Skyfall). Courtesy of The
Weinstein Company.
Nebraska: Yet another remarkable film
directed by Alexander Payne, Nebraska
captures the effortless acting of an aging man
(Bruce Dern) who is convinced he has won one
million dollars and travels across two states
with his estranged son (Will Forte) to claim his
winnings. Payne captures real-life love and
heartache through his breathtaking sceneries and script. Dern has
already won the best acting prize at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.
Nebraska will screen as a Sneak Preview on Tuesday, November 12 at
the Cameo Cinema in St. Helena. Courtesy of Paramount Pictures.
One Chance: Starring James Corden, Alexandra Roach, Colm
Meaney and Julie Walters, and produced by Simon Cowell, this is
David Frankel’s sixth feature film. One Chance tells the remarkable
true story of aspiring opera singer Paul Potts. Frankel’s previous work
includes The Devil Wears Prada, starring Meryl Streep and Anne
Hathaway, Marley & Me, starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer
Anniston, The Big Year, starring Jack Black, Steve Martin and Wilson,
and Hope Springs, starring Streep, Tommy Lee Jones, and Steve
Carell. Courtesy of The Weinstein Company.
Philomena: The Festival is proud to screen Philomena as its
Centerpiece Presentation. Celebrated Director Stephen Frears has
always embraced a wide variety of styles, themes and genres.
Philomena, based on the book The Lost Child Of Philomena Lee by
BBC correspondent Martin Sixsmith, is the true story of an Irish
woman who was taken in by nuns as a pregnant teenager.
Condemned to a slavish life at the abbey, she is forced to give up her
four-year-old boy to an American couple she never meets. Late in life,
aided by a journalist, she sets out to find her son. Starring Dame Judi
Dench and Steve Coogan (playing Sixsmith). Courtesy of The
Weinstein Company.
This year’s Celebrity Tribute Program on Friday, November 15 will
be hosted by Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush who will take the stage at
Lincoln Theatre in Yountville for the third year, and once again amuse

Healdsburg Wine Country Half Marathon, October 26
The Healdsburg Wine Country Half Marathon, presented by
Subaru, now in its sixth year, is set to run on Saturday, October 26.
Produced by Destination Races of Sonoma, this wine harvest and
Halloween-themed race is the final event in the Wine Country Half

The start of this year’s race is at Trentadue Winery and finishing at
the Warm Springs Recreation Area at Lake Sonoma for the post-race

wine tasting, a beer garden, food, cooking demonstrations,
exhibitors, live music, awards and a costume contest.
The individual and team costume contest starts at 10:15am
followed by the race awards ceremony. Cash prizes and large format
wines go to the top three overall male and female finishers. The top
three finishers in each age group will receive a bottle of wine and the
top two teams of six or more wine a case of wine and winery tour.
There is also the Winery Challenge, which awards the fastest winery
team. Wineries can still sign up for the team competition, and pour
at the Wine & Music Festival. The festival will feature over 20
wineries pouring for runners, family and friends.
Nearly 2,500 runners and wine enthusiasts from 50 different
states and foreign countries will compete in the Halloween spirited
race. Each finisher receives a performance running shirt, unique
finisher’s medal and Riedel wine glass, and entry to the wine tasting
area. Runners are encouraged to dress up for the costume contest
that follows the race. “The Healdsburg race is always a favorite of
ours.” enthused Matt Dockstader, President of Destination Races.
“Everyone is in such a festive mood, the costumes are so creative,
and course is amazingly beautiful with the fall colors in the
vineyards.”
The Race Expo will be held at the Hyatt Vineyard Creek in the
historic Railroad Square of Santa Rosa on Friday, October 25 from
10am to 6pm. The expo will feature packet pickup, product
sampling and demonstrations, food, music, beer and wine tasting as
well as expert racing seminars. The pre-race dinner will be held at
Trione Winery and Vineyards on Friday, October 25 from 6pm to
8pm. The post-race party will be at Clos Du Bois from 2pm to 5pm
after the race activities on Saturday.
Destination Races partners with a variety of national, regional and
local charity and non-profit organizations. Each year, collectively
these organizations raise approximately six million dollars in
support of their causes through the Wine Country Half Marathon
series.

Pinot Noir enthusiasts and local communities as we come together to
raise money for Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Sonoma County,” said
Eric Hall, Co-Founder of Pinot on the River and owner of Roadhouse

Sonoma Valley Vintners and Growers Alliance
Awarded USDA Specialty Crop Block Grant
The Sonoma Valley Vintners & Growers Alliance (SVVGA), a
marketing organization of 100 Sonoma Valley wineries and 140
growers was awarded a Specialty Crop Block Grant of $357,000 from
the US Department of Agriculture to increase wine consumer
awareness of the high-quality wines from the Sonoma Valley region
through a marketing campaign that will include a second phase of
website development, social media and email campaigns, and print
and online advertising.
The Specialty Crop Block Grants, administrated by the USDA’s
Agricultural Marketing Service, are designed to help strengthen the
market for specialty crops like tree nuts, dried fruits and horticulture
and nursery crops. The USDA encourages states to develop projects
that enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops, sustain the
livelihood of American farmers, and strengthen local economies.
This is the first time SVVGA has applied for the Specialty Crop
Block Grant. Recipients selected represented organizations in 50
states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico,
American Samoa and Guam, and grants awarded totaled $52 million
of which $18 million was directed to California programs.
“Receiving this grant is a huge victory for our vintners,
winegrowers and tourism partners as we work to build and share the
passionate story of Sonoma Valley. The foundation has been set with
the Sonoma Valley brand that was launched in early 2013 and now
this grant will enable us to execute on a national platform” said
Maureen Cottingham, Executive Director of Sonoma Valley Vintners
and Growers Alliance.

Celebrate Harvest at ‘Reserve Sonoma Valley’
A Truly unique Wine Event like no other is set for October 19 & 20, 2013
Chateau St. Jean
Reserve Sonoma Valley, a festive and unique wine event that offers
participants an exclusive opportunity to see Sonoma Valley’s classic
wineries in a completely different light, has been set for Saturday,
October 19 and Sunday, October 20. This growing annual event, a
series of themed daytrips throughout the region, will showcase rare
offerings and hidden gems of Sonoma Valley wine destinations, many
of which are seldom open to the public.
“Sonoma Valley, the birthplace of California wine, has so many
hidden gems and world class wines to discover and taste all right
here in our valley,” said Maureen Cottingham, Sonoma Valley
Vintners & Growers Alliance Executive Director, “We are very excited
to once again, celebrate this spectacular harvest and to showcase the
people, places and wines that otherwise would be impossible to
experience.”
Produced by the Sonoma Valley Vintners & Growers Alliance, the
annual Reserve Sonoma Valley event will feature a series of twelve
unique chauffeured tours that will take guests on a journey of
discovery throughout the Sonoma Valley Wine region. From a
unique food and wine pairing tour to historic bicycle & wine tour,
there is something for everyone. Each tour includes four customized
winery visits, comfortable transportation by Pure Luxury
Transportation and wine country picnic lunch.

BY ALEXANDRA CHARSLEY
Sonoma-Enoteca is a truly unique wine country experience. Ten
different California wineries within a 100-mile radius have
collectively joined together to sell their limited-production wines.
These ten different producers give guests a chance to taste many
different wines of the same varietal by different winemakers and
located in different AVAs. And, since the wine tastings here can
accommodate every style, it is the ideal tasting room to visit when
you are visiting the Historic Sonoma Plaza.
At their spacious Mediterranean style tasting room, you’ll savor
some of the best wine from Sonoma and Mendocino’s boutique
vineyards that can only be found here. On most days, you will find
one of the local winemakers on hand pouring at the tasting bar,
giving insight on their wines and the differences between varietals.
They are also so knowledgeable about the area and will be more than
happy to recommend other excursions during your stay. Wine flights
include six tastes and since there are over 20 different wines, you can
really choose to taste several single varietals or have fun and select a
red or white wine tasting. The wines here are so distinct and offer
guests a great opportunity to taste some of the lesser known
producers around. So, if you are like me and are taking Ray Isle’s
advice on how to restock your wine fridge, then this is one tasting
room that shouldn’t be missed when you are in Sonoma.
In addition to tasting at the wine bar you can enjoy the most
eclectic collection of wine accessories in town. Shop for art, glass
wear, wine books, California olive oils and gorgeous furnishings that
reflect the best in wine country living. Local chocolate truffles can be
purchased and all olive oils, mustards and vinegars can be sampled as
you peruse the shop.
The Sonoma-Enoteca Tasting Room is open Wednesday through
Monday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Their historic tasting room is the
perfect getaway while visiting the Sonoma Plaza. Taste and
experience these premium wines in one place.

2009 KENWOOD VINEYARDS ARTIST SERIES
Exquisite In Every Way
Art has always been the focus of the Kenwood Vineyards Artist
Series, and while the art on the label of the just-released 2009
Kenwood Vineyards Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon is truly
stunning, the art in the bottle is equally stunning. Showcasing a great
vintage, top Sonoma County vineyards and meticulous winemaking
as well as a spectacular label, the 2009 Kenwood Artist Series
Cabernet Sauvignon is exquisite in every way.
Deeply colored, the 2009 Kenwood Vineyards Artist Series
Cabernet Sauvignon captivates with sumptuous cassis, black
raspberry, cedar and forest aromas. Powerful yet lithe flavors of
cassis, blackberry, licorice and peppermint gain additional
complexity from a subtle hint of earth. In the glass the aromas
become fuller, with the flavors gaining depth, nuance and
polish. The generous, seamless palate – with weight, structure
and balance in perfect harmony – culminates in a long, elegant
finish. While already approachable, the 2009 Kenwood
Vineyards Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon promises
additional evolution with cellaring.
With a cool, dry spring and moderate temperatures during
summer and autumn that brought the smaller-than-average
Cabernet Sauvignon crop to full maturity, the 2009 growing
season was nearly perfect in Sonoma County. As a result,
Kenwood harvested grapes with impressive fruit and balance
for the 2009 Artist Series primarily from its estate vineyard in
Sonoma Valley, with additional grapes coming from
outstanding vineyards in Dry Creek Valley and Knights Valley.
The 2009 Kenwood Vineyards Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon
label features the enticing “THESTATEYOU’REIN,” a vibrant
contemporary piece of art by Markus Linnenbrink who is recognized
worldwide for his resin paintings, sculpture and installation art. He
pours, pools and brushes paintings with layers of opaque and
62
translucent color, opening windows to the wood support beneath
manifesting a complex interplay between fore and background. The
decadent glossy finish of this work is truly eye-catching, but
Linnenbrink’s skillful layering technique that forms deep and
exquisitely chromatic concentric circles is the real draw. Born in
Germany in 1961, Linnenbrink studied at the Academy of Fine
Arts in Berlin. His inventive works are included in the
permanent collections of The Hague Ministry of Culture, San
Francisco Museum of Modern Art, UCLA Hammer Museum
and Harvard Business School. Linnenbrink joins an illustrious
roster of artists – including Joan Miro, Pablo Picasso, Vincent
van Gogh, Paul Klee, Wayne Thiebaud and Shepard Fairey –
whose creations have graced the Kenwood Vineyards Artist
Series since America’s premier marriage of wine and art
debuted 35 years ago.
Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignons are always eagerly
awaited and surely the 2009 Kenwood Vineyards Artist
Series Cabernet Sauvignon will join previous vintages as a
coveted collectible. The 1016 cases of 750ml bottles this
vintage produced are available in selected markets
nationally at a suggested retail of $60. A small number of
magnum and double magnum bottles also were produced,
and may be purchased online at
www.kenwoodvineyards.com or through the Kenwood
Vineyards wine shop.
Established in 1970 in the Sonoma Valley, Kenwood
Vineyards produces premium wines that showcase the world-class
quality and character of Sonoma County vineyards. Kenwood
Vineyards is located at 9592 Sonoma Hwy, Kenwood, CA 95452 and
is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, call
(707) 833-5891 or visit www.kenwoodvineyards.com.

B.R. Cohn Winery Wins Double Gold, Gold Medals
2010 Russian River valley Pinot Noir – double gold
2009 Olive Hill Estate Cabernet sauvignon – gold
B.R. Cohn Winery is pleased to receive a Double Gold Medal for
the 2010 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir ($45) and a Gold Medal for
the 2009 Olive Hill Estate Cabernet Sauvignon ($55) from the prestigious Sonoma Country Harvest Fair.
The 2010 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is produced from the
finest vineyards in this appellation. It is a complex, lush wine with
aromas of black cherry, raspberry and strawberry intermingled with a
bouquet of toasty vanilla and spice. It is rich and smooth on the palate
with a lasting finish that has been aged for 19 months in only the
finest French Burgundy barrels. While the wine is a pleasure to enjoy
on its own, it will fare well with a wide range of entrees, complementing dishes such as lamb, duck or grilled salmon.
The 2009 Olive Hill Estate Cabernet Sauvignon has pronounced
aromas and flavors of plum, black currant and cherry. Luscious berry
and cherry flavors fill the palate, and silky tannins follow through to
a warm, lasting finish. As always, this exceptional vintage was
fermented in small lots to ensure the character of each part of the
Olive Hill Estate Vineyard. This vintage was aged for 24 months in
only the finest tight grain French oak. A bouquet of fine oak, anise and
mint combine with supple tannin and a long finish to produce a wellbalanced rich full-bodied Cabernet that will age well for years to come
and drink well at the table now.
Both wines are available in the tasting room. B.R. Cohn Winery is
located at 15000 Sonoma Highway 12 in Glen Ellen. The tasting room
is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 1-800330-4064 or for other information: www.brcohn.com.

Mendocino County Celebrates 13th Annual Mushroom,
Wine and Beer Festival with a Host of Fun(Gi) Events This Fall
At the 13th Annual Mushroom, Wine and Beer Festival in
Mendocino County, local wine and craft beers will be enjoyed
alongside delectable mushrooms in a ten-day festival that is sure to
please the most discriminating palates. The mouth-watering
mushrooms of Mendocino County, combined with wines and craft
beers from the area, will make the 2013 festival, which runs Friday,
November 1 to Sunday, November 10, an event that delights foodies,
oenophiles and nature-lovers alike!
Mendocino County boasts more than 3,000 types of mushrooms,
500 of which are edible, including chanterelles, porcinis, morels and
hedgehogs, and even the extremely rare candy cap mushroom, with its
intense maple-syrup flavor, that grows only along the northern coast
of California. The Mushroom, Wine and Beer Festival celebrates this
bounty with an array of events, including winemaker and brewmaster
dinners, wild mushroom foraging excursions, educational wine and
beer-pairing demonstrations, art exhibitions and more! Numerous
restaurants will feature mushroom-themed menus and flavorful fungi
to tempt tastebuds. Inns, hotels, motels and bed & breakfast
properties will feature discounted specials and packages.
The premier event of the festival is the Mushroom, Wine and Beer
Train, aboard the historic Skunk Train on Saturday, November 2nd.
Trains leaving from Fort Bragg and Willits arrive at Camp Mendocino
deep in the redwood forest for a day of wine tastings, culinary treats
and a mushroom cook-off. The event will feature local mushroom
expert, Eric Schramm, a mushroom hike, and presentation about
Mendocino County wines. Silent auction, live music and dessert port
and chocolate truffles round off the trip.
For information about events surrounding the Mushroom, Wine
& Beer Festival, visit www.visitmendocino.com/mushroomfestival or

Blue Dog Oak – A New Lithograph by George Rodrigue
Blue Dog Oak, 2013
following their deportment from Nova Scotia in 1755.
In recent paintings, however, Rodrigue paints the light not with
the hope of the Cajun people, but rather with a general hope, a
brighter future for all, as represented by the now omnipresent Blue
Dog.
In Blue Dog Oak, Rodrigue reunites his established subjects on
canvas, comfortable with their shapes and symbolism yet challenged,
always, to create something unique, if not in subject, then in design
and impression, as he seeks a finished painting titillating to his eye.
Rodrigue Gallery is located in Carmel, on the west side of Dolores

vert. 3.75”w x 6.25” h
BY WENDY RODRIGUE
George Rodrigue’s newest painting, Blue Dog Oak, reunites his
favorite subjects in acrylic colors blended adeptly, as though oils.
Unlike his dark oaks of the early 1970s, Rodrigue’s trees today glow
with intense hues; yet the rules remain as the hard edges and almost
puzzle-like structure control his composition.
The Blue Dog stands framed, surrounded by a pattern of sky and
shadowed ground, the stylized fur beneath its ears echoing the oak’s
pointed moss. Without negative spaces, the painting’s structure defies
reality. The spaces between the branches create interesting shapes,
clearly a self-imposed challenge for the artist.
Rodrigue paints the dog as though it’s a Cajun person. Glowing in
blue rather than white, it stands strong with the tree. For Rodrigue,
the tree and dog represent his best friends in art, the shapes he made
his own. Over the years, they grow and change on his canvas just as
he does in life.
As with his paintings of Cajun folk life, the light shines from
beneath the tree. For the Cajuns, this represents their hope, a longing
to make a home for themselves in the swamps of southwest Louisiana
