INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER
by Len Napolitano
What is tannin?
Tannin is a naturally occurring chemical compound in wine
that gives a dry red wine texture. Its mouth-drying effect,
balanced with ample fruit, creates a wine of firm structure that can
equalize the effective “weight” in the mouth of a rich red wine.
The four basic wine components are fruit, alcohol, acidity and
tannin. Generally speaking, the proper balance of all four define a
quality wine. Tannins contribute to a wine’s feel in the mouth, and
also provide a stabilizing effect in the wine by helping it to age
longer and protecting its aroma and flavor over time.
A comparable parallel of the astringent component that tannin
contributes to wine is the tannin in a cup of hot tea. When the tea
cools down, the mouth-drying effect of tannin is more evident.
Typically, a young red wine, like Cabernet Sauvignon, will have
more of this harsh tannin, whereas a mature wine’s tannin has
lessened and softened over time, and more pure fruit flavor is
exposed. A red wine is said to be at its peak when it has reached a
perfect balance of tannin and fruit.
The specific point in time in the life of a wine when this
balance occurs varies with every wine, and is mostly
unpredictable. The very best wines in the world will take years,

and sometimes decades to evolve.
Tannin is sometimes described as green, which some consider
to be a fault in a wine. Green tannins have an impact on the
palate much like eating an underipe fruit, like a very green
banana. It can be attributable to growing seasons with insufficient
warmth to full ripen the grapes, or in very rainy growing seasons.
This is not usually a problem in wine regions known for its long,
hot summers, but is more likely to be an issue in cool, coastal
regions.
Tannin in wine comes from two sources. Some originate from
the extended period of time that grapes are in contact with its
skins. This long-term contact with the skins, in addition to the
grapes’ seeds and stems, is the primary source of the tannin in the
final wine product. A white wine will have only a few hours or
less in contact with its grape skins during fermentation, while a
red wine will remain in contact with its skins for days, or until the
winemaker extracts enough color. That is why tannin is a subject
in the discussion of red wine, not white.
Another source of tannin comes from the wood of the oak
barrels in which the wine is aged. The amount of structure
contributed to the wine from oak barrels will vary greatly and
depends mostly on the age of the barrel, the type of oak, type of
toasting and length of time in barrel.
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.

Just about every major winery in Sonoma and Napa has an interesting
history. Many of the wineries in this area were started by immigrants to
America, from Germany, Italy and France. While many of the stories are
generally “rags to riches” epics, none is more compelling than that of the
Jacuzzi family.
You probably know the name Jacuzzi from the eponymous whirlpool
spas for which they are well known, but as Paul Harvey used to say, this
is the rest of the story:
The story of the Jacuzzi immigration to America began in 1907 when
Valeriano and Francesco Jacuzzi, the second and third-born sons of
Giovanni and Teresa Jacuzzi, left Italy and landed in Washington state to
work on the railroad. A warmer climate with a lot less rain was in order
and the two made their way down to southern California. Several years
later, they were joined by four other brothers and eventually all of them
went to work in the burgeoning aviation industry. Before long they
would make American history.
In 1911 their father, Giovanni, skilled as a wood worker as well as
vineyard farmer, joined his sons. Two weeks in America was enough to
convince him that his boys would never return to Italy. So he returned to
the homeland with son Valeriano to gather up the rest of the family, but
World War I intervened and the trip was delayed until the war’s end.
During this time, Valeriano had met Giuseppina, fell in love, married and
had their first child. In 1920, Valeriano’s new family, parents and
remaining siblings departed Italy for America.
Soon after their arrival in early 1921, Valeriano started working with
his brothers at their Jacuzzi Brothers factory. The brothers were
experimenting with building airplanes in their factory, but when their first
endeavor of a monoplane crashed and took several lives with it, Papa
Giovanni asked his sons to find another line of work. Shortly after,
Valeriano moved his family further north and purchased a 161-acre farm
in Contra Costa County.
During the depression of the 1930s, Valeriano, with assistance from
his older children, planted a portion of the open farm fields with grapes,
and in 1936 he applied for a license to make wine for home
consumption. At the time, he was limited to making just 200 gallons,
about 84 cases. He planted Zinfandel, Carignane and Mourvedre, and the
grapes that he did not use for his own wines were sold for about $30 to
$35 a ton!
Fast forward a few more years and Valeriano is now a grandfather,
planting more and more grapes on his property, until approximately 140
acres were covered in winegrapes. His grandchildren often come to visit,
and one in particular, Fred, takes a keen interest in the farms agriculture,
the grapes, the growing process and the mysteries of winemaking.
Young Fred Cline obtained a degree in Agriculture Management from
the University of California at Davis. In 1982, with an inheritance from
his grandfather, Fred founded Cline Cellars in nearby Oakley. Here he
preserved and restored many ancient vines sites to their rightful reign as
premier California wine lands.
In 1991, Fred and his wife Nancy relocated the winery from Oakley to
the Carneros region of Sonoma County on a historic 350-acre estate with
new vineyards and facilities. While much of the cool Carneros region is

planted with Chardonnay and
Pinot Noir, Fred pioneered the
planting of many Rhone varietals
including Syrah, Viognier,
Marsanne and Roussanne.
In 1994, the very first Jacuzzi
Family Vineyards wine was
produced. Fred built the
18,000-square-foot winery
across the street from Cline
Cellars on Arnold Drive in
Sonoma-Carneros and opened
its doors in 2007. The beautiful
facility is home to many great
varietals created by winemaker
Charlie Tsegeletos (pronounced
Seg-uh-let-ose) who was raised
in Northern California by Italian
and Greek parents. Receiving his
degree in agricultural science
and management/plant science
from UC Davis, he launched his
winemaking career in 1980 at
the age of 24.
Tsegeletos lets the grapes
guide his style of winemaking.
He works closely with vineyard
managers to ensure that the
varietals are planted in locations
that will provide optimal acid
and sugar levels and express true
varietal characteristics. His red
wines are big and dark with lots
of fruit concentration and
delicate oak nuances and his
white wines are bright and fresh.
Fred Cline thought it was
important to pay homage to his
grandparents and their siblings
since wine was always a big part
of their family gatherings and
growing many of the Rhone
varietals was a big part of their
lives. So now, instead of being
well known just for the Jacuzzi

Winesong 2012 - A New Level of Award-Winning
Wine, Spectacular Food, Charitable Giving
Celebrity Chef, Bradley Ogden takes center stage to donate a chef’s
dinner auction lot to make any foodie jealous. Chef Ogden will host
ten lucky diners for an evening of cooking, bubbly and great food.
Bradley’s guests will be directed to a secret location where they will
help him prepare a fabulous meal and then sit down to enjoy the
spoils of their work. Throw in some top notch Champagne and you
have a perfect, not to be missed, evening.
At this year’s Winesong Charity Auction and Tasting, VIP ticket
holders will have the opportunity to experience Chef Ogden’s
culinary skills as they enjoy a rustic, wine country luncheon created
from local, seasonal ingredients. Chef Ogden’s Dinner Auction Lot is
in good company joining a great list of “Hot Lots” which includes:
• 1996 Chateau d' Yquem, Sauternes, double magnum (3L)
In the Bordeaux Classification of 1855, Château d’Yquem was given
the unique and unsurpassable rank of Premier Cru Supérieur,
ahead of all other Sauternes, indicating its perceived superiority and
ability to command by far the highest prices. The wines of Château
d’Yquem are characterized by their complexity, concentration and
longevity. In a good year, a bottle will only begin to show its
qualities after a decade or two of cellaring and with proper care,
will keep for a century or more, gradually adding layers of taste and
hitherto undetected overtones.
• The Santa Fe Experience –
Three Nights Lodging, Dinner, Restaurant Walking Tour,
Cooking Class and Art Gallery Gift Certificate
Inspired by the long-time supporter, Michael Tyers, this lot offers
winning bidders a unique experience for two in beautiful Santa Fe,
New Mexico. This lot includes three nights at the Hacienda at
Garcia Street, dinner at The Pink Adobe, a demonstration style
cooking class and restaurant walking tour, and a $250 gift
certificate to Michael Smith Gallery.
Winesong 2012 stands to be the Crown Jewel of Northern
California charitable events. First, the 28th Annual Winesong will
offer guests the opportunity to get an insider’s view of Anderson
Valley Pinot Noir on Friday, September 7th as Winesong and AVWA
(Anderson Valley Winegrowers Association) present “An Anderson
Valley Pinot Noir Celebration” hosted by the Little River Inn. On
Saturday, September 8th, guests can stroll through the enchanting
Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens enjoying a spectacular array of
wine and food from 100 highly acclaimed wineries and 50 top notch
Northern California restaurants. The spectacular wine celebration
continues on into the Auction Tents for the always entertaining Live
and Silent Charity Auctions.
Last year’s event raised $500,000 which included the “fund a need”
lot – helping the hospital retrofit the patient rooms – that brought in
over $55,000 in a matter of minutes! One of the highlights of last
24
year’s auction was a fabulous seven-night vacation to St. Bart’s that
went for a whopping $19,000. This prestigious event is sure to sell out
as many guests come back year after year to attend a weekend like no
other. A celebration of wine, food, art and best of all, giving!
An Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Celebration: Meet the Winemakers
Friday, September 7, 1 to 4 p.m.
This exclusive event features Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley and
tastes of Little River’s finest culinary offerings. The focus of this
celebration is to provide an exclusive opportunity to talk wine with
the winemakers themselves in an intimate setting. Evaluate new
wines and learn how classic Pinot Noir improves with age. Savor
these lush and elegant wines while you meet and mingle with the
winemakers at a seaside setting overlooking the spectacular Pacific
Coast.
Wine & Food Tasting in the Gardens
Saturday, September 8, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Each year, in order to offer a wide array of wines, Winesong invites

vintages. With producers coming from such diverse regions as
Mendocino, Napa, Sonoma, the Central Coast, Sierra Foothills,
Oregon, Washington State, Italy, Chile and South Africa, the tasting is
truly world-class and unprecedented in its sheer diversity. A
wonderful variety of culinary fare is provided by more than 50 fine
restaurants and food purveyors from Northern California. Wine and
food enthusiasts can stroll through the botanical garden paths along
the bluffs overlooking the majestic Mendocino Coast while sampling
this bountiful fare and enjoying performances of musical ensembles
throughout the gardens playing a variety of styles including jazz, folk,
classical, zydeco and more!
Silent & Live Auctions
Saturday, September 8, Silent: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Live: 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
There will be lively bidding on over 200 lots featuring spectacular
wines and rare hard-to-find vintages from the most prestigious wine
producers, original art from highly acclaimed artists, extravagant

packages. Bay Area celebrity Narsai David will serve as Master of
Ceremonies.

SOMERSTON VINEYARDS & WINERY

SOMERSTON TASTING ROOM
Open from 1 to 8 p.m. Sunday-Wednesday

Somerston Vineyards & Winery is more than an inviting tasting room for visitors and
locals alike, it is a winery with a rich past and a bright future.
Today, far removed from the ocean, is the 1,628-acre Somerston Estate in the hills above
the Napa Valley, a property dating back to the 1800s. It is there that vines flourish on 87
carefully tended vineyard blocks and where hundreds of content, meandering sheep graze. It’s
also where the altitude (between 850 and 2,800 feet above sea level) and the wide variety of
soil types combine with cool nights, fog that lingers and warm afternoons to seamlessly make
that most crucial component of fine wine: the grape.
“At Somerston we believe in sustainable farming and the intrinsic quality of our land.
Our property’s magnificent valleys, steep hillsides and infinite vistas have inspired our wine
and our purpose.” The vast majority of the harvest is grown on 225 acres of sustainably
farmed vineyards on the estate, where there are also natural soda springs (hence the name
of nearby ‘Soda Canyon Road’) and several spring fed lakes dot the sprawling Estate.
Open to visitors under a strict reservations only policy, the tasting room at the Estate is
beautiful, the view serene and the number of lucky tasters is strictly limited, though the
property is available for special events (though not for weddings, this being Napa country).
They also offer an all-terrain tour of the land, and if you wish they can supply a picnic
lunch from the famous Bouchon Bakery, part of chef Thomas Keller’s French Laundry
empire.
Back in the town of Yountville, their spacious, tasteful, high-ceilinged tasting room has
quickly become a haven for visiting wine lovers as well as for locals, many of whom make a
visit a weekly ritual to socialize and mingle. The cheese plate they offer has also become an
institution, offering artisan domestic and international cheeses presented with an assortment
of dried fruits and pistachios from nearby farms. At a modest fifteen dollars it is one on the
region’s most attractive bargains.

“Our goal here is to have people come relax with us whenever
they are in the mood and have the time,” said tasting room manager
Sean Pakenham. “Of course it is about the wine, but it is also about
enjoyment.”
Many of the wines poured are Estate wines and include a nice
spectrum of varietals: Sauvignon Blanc, Petit Sirah, the Stornoway
Red (a predominantly Merlot blend), Zinfandel and rich Cabernet
Sauvignon. Plus, Grenache Blanc, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Viognier.
The wines variously bear the labels of Somerston, Highflyer and
Priest Ranch, and all are made in limited quantities.
“One of the best things about our winery and tasting room – in
addition to the wines– is the warm and welcoming experience our
visitors get. People connect with those that pour the wine and
everyone seems to love the space itself, both indoors and out.”
A seasonal feature at their Yountville tasting room is called
“Thursday Night Live.” Every Thursday from 6 to 9 p.m. they have
free live music by a variety of local artists that you can listen to as you
enjoy their wine and snack on food from area food trucks, everything
from ethnic specialties, gourmet sliders, and macaroni and cheese to
dim sum and noodle bowls. A perfect way to end a day in wine

Some of my earliest wine country memories revolve around the wines from
Napa Cellars. Their wines, then and now, are uniformly pleasing and exceptionally
well-priced, and a visit to their tasting room in Oakville is always great fun. Even
more fun is taking a picnic lunch or some bread and Northern California artisan
cheese to enjoy right outside the tasting room with a bottle of their wine
surrounded by premium vines. There are any number of first-rate places to pick
up your al fresco meal, both in Yountville a few miles to the south, and at the
famous Oakville Grocery just up the road.
The well-crafted wines from talented winemaker and rare California native Joe
Shirley include a crisp and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc and a pair of Chardonnays,
plus a roster that includes Merlot, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Syrah and two Cabs. The
tasting room structure is certainly unique – a geodesic dome by the famous
architect and author Buckminster Fuller, with a high ceiling and a 360-degree
tasting bar that is staffed by friendly and knowledgeable people who obviously
enjoy what they do.
Here, you can also try wines made under the Folie à Deux label, which includes
such diverse offerings as Pinot Grigio, Moscato, a rosé and a red blend, among a
number of others. As a friend once remarked, “It’s a great ‘two-for-one’ experience;
there is something for everyone.”
There are several tasting flights to choose from and all fees are priced at only $7.
To fully experience classic Napa Valley style wines, become a member of their
popular wine club which includes both Napa Cellars and Folie à Deux wines in
the shipments. You can choose the Classic Club or Reds Only – both offer
discounts on wine and merchandise, complimentary tastings, exclusive
promotions and winery events.

WINEMAKER PROFILE
CHRIS CORLEY
Monticello Vineyards
BY MONICA L. DASHWOOD
MONTICELLO VINEYARDS
Corley Family Napa Valley
Open daily from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Chris Corley, winemaker of Monticello Vineyards, grew up on acres of vineyard
in the Napa Valley. As a young boy, he remembers playing in the vineyards by the
river and getting a natural sense of things, how the vines grew lush, and how the
grapes looked and tasted each year.
His father, Jay Corley founded Monticello Vineyards back in 1970, purchasing
80 acres of land and during the summer months Chris worked for his father in the
winery. He started at the bottom cleaning wine barrels, making needed repairs,
driving trucks to dump trash. He simply did what he was told. “With my father,
there were no short cuts. I started from the ground up and learned my way to the
top, which for me was becoming a winemaker.”
After high school, Chris took a brief break from the wine business to study
Marine Biology at Humboldt State University. Chris loved the ocean, biology and
scuba diving, but he quickly sorted out in his mind that he wanted to return home
to begin his career at Monticello Vineyards as an apprentice, receiving invaluable
hands-on training in wine education.
From 1990-1998, Chris worked in the cellar, cleaning and racking wine barrels,
ensuring tank sanitation, washing floors, cleaning bins and preparing harvest
equipment. In 1998, he went from Master Cellar to Assistant Winemaker. Over the
years, Chris worked under three winemakers who taught him how to make award
winning wines. The first winemaker was known for his creativity and artistry. Like
a chef in the kitchen, he trusted his natural tasting abilities. He was also a fanatic
for sanitation, where cleanliness is next to Godliness. The second winemaker was
more intellectual, more organized and relied heavily on detailed wine records and
data when measuring grapes. The third winemaker was a hybrid of the two former
winemakers and was more cautious by nature, knowing when to take calculated
risks at harvest time. Chris took these fantastic learning experiences and applied
his own personal style to the art of winemaking. He looks to keep the wines
consistent, allowing for only gradual shifts in the vintages over time.
As for what Chris looks for in a best-selling wine, such as their 2009 Monticello
Vineyards Jefferson Cuvee Cabernet Sauvignon or the 2010 Monticello Vineyards
Estate Grown Chardonnay? It’s balance. He wants the three dimensions savored in
a good wine to find their rightful place. He wants the palate to attack through the
finish, the texture to be balanced from beginning to end, and the aromas to be in
sync with the dark berry fruit flavors. “When I make wine, I know in my mind’s
palate what I want. How I navigate the winemaking process is the harder part.
What’s the weather going to do and how we react to it, are the questions.”
Chris doesn’t work alone when making wine. He relies on his brothers who
manage the winery and leans on his assistant winemaker, Rodolfo Cuevas, a
professional partner and good friend for over 30 years. “I have spent more hours
with Rodolfo than anyone else in my life,” Chris laughed. “He taught me how to
deal with adversity, he taught me about life.”
Together, they make Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Chardonnay,
Pinot Noir and Syrah, producing 15,000 cases of exclusively Napa Valley wine in
the Oak Knoll, Yountville, Rutherford and St Helena appellations of Napa Valley.
Chris hopes to be making wine for the rest of his life. “My deepest satisfaction
in doing what I do is carrying the tradition of my father’s work, including a third
generation of Corley’s at Monticello Vineyards. All the work we do at the winery,
over 40 years, we have done together.”

Bennett Lane Winery Launches First Winery Branded
Hot Air Balloon in California Wine Country
Kent Hanson
Bennett Lane Winery recently
launched its branded hot air balloon
on its inaugural flight. For its maiden
voyage of one hour, the balloon
carried six passengers on a journey
over the Napa Valley, providing views
of the lush pre-harvest vineyards and
rolling hills below from
approximately 3,000 feet in the air.
The first winery branded hot air
balloon in California, the Bennett
Lane Winery balloon was built by
Kubicek Balloons in the Czech
Republic. The balloon stands 67 feet
high when inflated and has a
diameter of 65 feet. It took over a
month of sewing to create the
balloon’s envelope, which measures
142,4000 cubic feet, from 16,000
square feet of special ripstop
polyester fabric. It also took twentyfive days of dying of the fabric for the
special grape color shade for the
Bennett Lane logo of grape clusters.
Following the balloon landing,

This is what I imagine Stags Leap District to be like about 30 years ago. An unpretentious,
slightly askew winery sign along the road. A dirt and gravel driveway leading through the
vineyard. A cozy tasting room just a bit larger than a breadbox. And a few people genuinely
happy you found them and quite proud to show you their wares.
Welcome to Baldacci Family Vineyards, started in 1997 when Tom and Brenda Baldacci
purchased this sweet 17-acre parcel with ample hills and vales to provide the ideal setting to
grow great Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2000, the Baldaccis added a 7,000-square-foot wine
production cave in the hillside behind the tasting room. The estate vineyard now produces
classic Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon – silky-textured with ripe black fruit flavors and
refined tannins, ready to enjoy now or ageworthy up to 10 years.
The highly acclaimed wines at Baldacci are the handiwork of renowned winemaker Rolando
Herrera, who got his start down the trail at Stag’s Leap Cellars. Herrera went on to make wine at
Chateau Potelle, Vine Cliff and Paul Hobbs before returning to the Stags Leap District to work
with the Baldaccis. Herrera also makes his own wine under his own label, Mi Sueño, and has a
vineyard management company that manages the Baldacci’s 20-acre Carneros vineyard (planted
to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, Gewürztraminer and Merlot).
Baldacci produces three Stags Leap District Cabernets in all. Their flagship wine is the
Brenda’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, which is tough to get your hands on at just 180 cases
produced annually. Brenda’s Vineyard represents “the best of the best” – the best seven barrels
from the best vineyard block on the estate. The Black Label Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is the
Baldacci’s “ambassador” wine, representing the best fruit from different blocks of the estate
vineyard. Not to be missed, there’s the IV Sons Cabernet Sauvignon, a supple and full-bodied
Stags Leap District Cabernet that’s ready to be enjoyed now.
The Baldacci’s Carneros vineyard came on line in 2008, and now the tasting room offers a few
wines from the Carneros estate: including the 2009 Elizabeth Pinot Noir (named after Tom’s
mother), the 2010 Frederich Gewürztraminer (named after Tom’s grandfather), the 2009 Sorelle
Chardonnay (named after Tom’s sisters), the 2008 Allwin Syrah (named for Tom’s grandmother)
and the 2008 IV Sons Fraternity Red Blend which uses the Merlot and the Syrah from the
Cuttings Wharf property and blends that with the Cabernet Sauvignon from the Estate in the
Stags Leap District. The IV Sons wine is named after the Baldacci’s four boys – it really is all in
the family! Baldacci’s winery permit requires that visitors have a prior appointment. It’s easy to
get an appointment, often on the same day, by calling (707) 944-9261. The staff will be
genuinely happy to see you, and quite proud to show you their wares.

harvest festival of Sukkot. Wine and light appetizers will be served.
The winery also invites visitors to picnic in their sukkah, the
traditional temporary hut constructed for the holiday, during the
holiday, which falls between October 1st and 8th this year.
When they are not busy hosting the community during harvest
blessings, the Finkelstein family produces balanced, food-friendly
wines under their Judd’s Hill label and also makes wines for other
wine enthusiasts in lots as small as a single barrel (24 cases) in their
Custom MicroCrush program.
If you miss the celebration, you can always make an appointment
to come back another time for an intimate seated tasting. Or, you can
call to reserve a spot in their Bottle Blending Day Camp where, over
the course of about two hours, wine lovers are led through a blending
session to create their own unique
Napa Valley wine. Once a favorite

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | NAPA VALLEY
Food & Wine Trails’ Wine Cruises
Food & Wine Trails has announced their 2013 wine cruise series,
with eleven adventures hosted by top California wineries and one
hosted by what is arguably Italy’s most famous winery.
The 2013 California winery hosts include V. Sattui Winery,
Martinelli Vineyards & Winery traveling with Foxen Winery, Mira
Winery traveling with Ideology Cellars, Ramey Wine Cellars,
Domaine Chandon, Sojourn Cellars, Duckhorn Vineyards, Tablas
Creek Vineyard, Grigch Hills Estate and Cameron Hughes Wine.
On their Fourth Annual Wine Voyage, FOOD & WINE Magazine
has partnered with the Italian Super Tuscan Tenuta dell' Ornellaia.
One of the few wineries in the world to receive a perfect 100/100
score from Wine Spectator, Ornellaia will be providing their wines
for the onboard events including tastings and a wine-paired dinner.
These cruises sail the Mediterranean between April and October,
because according to Food & Wine Trails President Larry Martin, “It’s
the ancestral home to today’s wines and the best time of year to visit.”
All Food and Wine Trails’ cruises include a private onboard wine
program, and extras such as free or included gratuities, a $100 earlybooking shipboard credit and discounted or free airfare from the US
to Europe. Each cruise is held on a small to mid-size Oceania Cruises
or Azamara Club Cruises ship, and is hosted by winemakers or
winery principals.
Martin explains, “It’s important for us to offer great content and
personal access to the movers and shakers of the wine-industry. All
our programs not only include private tastings of library and current
vintages, exclusive group parties and winery hosted dinners, they
also allow the guest to visit top wine estates while in port for private
tours and luncheons. This makes each wine cruise a unique and
educational experience.”
Stateroom prices for Food & Wine Trails’ 2013 wine cruises start
at $1985 per person (double occupancy) with departures from
April 21st through October 11th, 2013.

For centuries, cultures around the globe, particularly in European countries, have realized
that wine and food are meant for each other. Some would say they form equal parts of the
equation. As Europeans began to settle in this country, many of them brought that
philosophy with them – a philosophy that you will find in the oldest wineries in the region.
B Cellars in Calistoga eagerly embraces those ideals. Jim Borsack, co-founder, is even
known as the Mad Chef. He has combined his decades of culinary experience with his
studies in viticulture to create versatile wines that pair exceptionally well with his nontraditional dishes. He may be called the Mad Chef, but it is always said fondly by those who
have enjoyed the meals he has prepared and the wines he suggests.
You might recognize Chef Christina Machamer, winery chef, certified sommelier and
wine educator. She was the winner of the fourth season of the Hell’s Kitchen television show,
one of Gordon Ramsey’s productions. Following that, this well-travelled Culinary Institute of
America graduate spent a year as sous chef at Ramsey’s West Hollywood restaurant.
According to winery principal Duffy Keys, “We wanted to attract a person with solid
culinary credentials who could help us convey to winery visitors the reasons for our ‘foodcentric’ reputation in the culinary community.” It also might be noted that co-founders Duffy
and Borsack met at – where else? – a barbecue on the Fourth of July 2002, a year before they
began acquiring vineyard land.
The wines B Cellars produces include a Cabernet Sauvignon made with fruit sourced
from a trio of distinguished vineyards (for their wines they draw on a total of 16 premium
vineyards). They also craft three blends: Blend 23 (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and
Viognier), Blend 24 (Cab, Sangiovese and Petite Syrah) and Blend 25 (Cab and Syrah). The
names may not evoke magic and romance; but the wines themselves do. They also make a
refreshing Sauvignon Blanc and a vineyard designate Syrah Caldwell’s Kreuzer Canyon. All of
their wines are made in relatively small lots, from 330 to 1750 cases, and are the result of the
efforts of master winemaker Kirk Venge, named one of the top twenty young winemakers in
the world.
You can sample these wines in their tasting room on the Silverado Trail just south of
Calistoga. The main tasting room has a comfortable Western feel to it, with lots of wood and
leather and a tile floor. Outside, an expansive patio sweeps around the building, with views
of vineyards, the hills in the distance and, right in front, a serene pond. The entire property
is also available for special events.
There are a large number of tasting options available. The Special Celebration Tasting is
for groups of nine to 25 and includes a private tour of the grounds and cellar and ends in
the Salon for a Flagship Tasting accompanied by B-Bites, as they call their mini seasonal
pairing of food and wine.
There is also the seated Signature Private Tasting, which includes wines not often seen in
the marketplace, paired with artisan cheese and charcuterie. The same is true of the Single
Vineyard Private Tasting, where a wine educator will guide you through their single vineyard
Cabernets and Syrahs. Or in Wine Tasting 101 you can learn to taste wine like the
professionals do, in a casual atmosphere, and how to best pair food and wine. For other
tasting options, including the Wine Blending Boot Camp, and a Sensory Wine Tasting with
Chef Machamer, visit their website.
In the end, whichever option you select, or if you simply stop by as you travel through
the Napa Valley, you will find yourself in a world with fine wine, and a sensitivity to the part
that good food – and good living – plays in it all.

Following a successful 2011 debut, an
impressive array of Napa Valley-based
celebrity chefs, restaurants, vintners,
sommeliers and artisan food producers are
set to once again headline this year’s Flavor!
Napa Valley food and wine festival,
scheduled for November 14-18.
Napa Valley Chef Michael Chiarello, the
originator of the Flavor! Napa Valley
concept, is joined again this year by fellow
Napa Valley chefs such as Thomas Keller,
Christopher Kostow, Cindy Pawlcyn, Jeffrey
Jake and Masaharu Morimoto. Visiting
graduates of The Culinary Institute of
America include Scott Conant, returning for
his second year, along with Geoffrey
Zakarian, Johnny Iuzzini, Charlie Palmer,
Larry Forgione and all three of his sons –
Marc, Sean and Bryan – cooking a course
together at the opening night tribute dinner
to their father, a chef often referred to as the
“godfather of American cuisine.”
According to festival producer Herb
Karlitz, one of the festival highlights is a twoday tasting of wines “that have and continue
to put Napa Valley on the map, reaching
back to the post-Prohibition wines of the
’40s through the present day.”
On day two, attendees experience special
tributes to legendary winegrower Andy
Beckstoffer and winemaker Heidi Barrett.
Tickets are on sale and the festival’s net

‘Ride with Deb’ through Dry Creek Valley with
Dutcher Crossing Winery Proprietor, Debra Mathy
Free and open to all levels; 9 to 11 a.m. the
third Friday of each month through October 19
Enjoy a bike ride with Debra Mathy, an
avid cyclist and proprietor of Dutcher
Crossing Winery. “I would like to invite
cycling enthusiasts with a bike to join me on
a two-hour scenic tour of the northern valley
vineyards,” said Debra. Starting at Dutcher
Crossing Winery, Debra will lead a casual
ride through the valley’s verdant vineyards
from 9 to 11 a.m. the third Friday of each
month, through October 19.
A lover of bicycles since childhood, a bike
is Debra first choice of transportation. Her
last gift from her late father was a vintage
high-wheel bicycle, showcased on all of the
winery’s wine labels. A replica resides in the
tasting room, and on occasion she actually
rides it! For the “Ride with Deb,” she will
choose one of her road bikes to lead the tour
through the vines.
For more information, call (707) 431-2700
or visit www.dutchercrossingwinery.com.
Dutcher Crossing is located at
8533 Dry Creek Road in Geyserville.

JUSTIN WANGLER
Executive Chef Kendall-Jackson Wine Estates
BY: ALExANDRA CHARSLEY
Kendall-Jackson Heirloom Tomato Festival
Saturday, September 15th
This is a celebration of the best that wine country has to
offer; featuring amazing Kendall-Jackson wines, delectable
tomato-inspired dishes from nearly 50 chefs and food
purveyors around the Bay Area and more than 150 different
varieties of heirloom tomatoes that guests can touch and
taste! This year’s event expands to Friday evening and
includes a new intimate dinner experience in the vineyard; a
charity fundraiser hosted by Guy Fieri and Mario Batali.
KENDALL-JACKSON WINE CENTER
Open daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
5007 Fulton Road, Fulton CA 95439
(707) 571-8100 | www.kj.com

The Kendall-Jackson Wine Center is a culinary destination for foodies and wine
lovers from all over the country offering guests wine tastings, wine and food pairings
and a beautiful tour through their on-site sensory and culinary gardens. The creative
force behind the Wine Center is Executive Chef Justin Wangler. Come and experience a
seated food and wine pairing that is as unique to wine country as the Kendall-Jackson
wines. These exceptional tastings pair limited-production wines with delicious bite-size
portions prepared by their culinary team. Justin strives to create dishes with balanced
flavors that come together to bring out the best in the accompanying wines.
The gardens at the Kendall-Jackson Wine Center were planted in 1997 by Jeff
Dawson, a well-known local gardener/horticulturist and are managed by Chef Matthew
Lowe and Head Gardener David Gonzales. They have around three acres of gardens that
include: honey bees, chickens and more than 150 varieties of heirloom tomatoes.
Garden tours are offered daily and feature the sensory gardens, culinary gardens,
viticulture and seasonal gardens.
For the daily food creations at The Wine Center, Justin finds a tremendous amount
of inspiration and ingredients from their culinary gardens and local food producers. His
pairings feature fresh quality ingredients that are harvested that day from their estate
garden. “We start with the wines and build the menus based on the flavor profiles of the
individual wines. Our chefs deliver and present the wine and food pairing to each guest
and are always available to answer questions about food, wine and local culinary
adventures. For a chef, the idea of having access to Kendall-Jackson’s world-class wines
and a superb culinary garden is a dream come true,” says Justin.
The Kendall-Jackson Culinary Team helps him achieve this harmony between food
and wine, “I’m lucky to have such an accomplished staff that I can learn from,” he
explains. “You can’t be a great chef without talented people around you who really care
about food. Our work environment manages to attract the right people. It’s an
incredibly inspiring place to work – we’re surrounded by amazing wines, spectacular
gardens and really great people – and I think this comes across on the plate. Sometimes
it’s even hard to call what we do work!”

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Film Festival is a Unique Celebration of World Cultures
People find themselves in Sonoma County
Wine Country for many things, a trip to
Armstrong Redwoods, a stay-vacation along
the Russian River, picking flowers at a local
farm or attending the annual Santa Rosa
International Film Festival. The festival runs
from September 12 to 23. It is especially
notable for its slow pace, unique venues,
affordability and down-home charm.
A cornucopia of films – more than 100
from about 40 countries – gives the festival a
wonderful worldly flavor. The festival’s
selection team viewed some 1000 films either
abroad at various festivals and markets or at
their homes. Many films that made the final
selection come from countries that are largely
unknown to local filmgoers.
Always innovative and pulsating with
creativity, the festival launches a new section
called Vets Fest™. This inspiring program
honors our veterans and the men and
women in active duty. Highlights include the
California premiere of The Long Ride Home
(Sunday, September 16) – the story of Sgt.
Kevin Mincio’s 4200-mile ride, honoring the
sacred promise he made to his friend and
fellow soldier, Staff Sgt. Jesse Williams of
Santa Rosa who died in Iraq in 2007. Vets
Fest™ includes a downtown parade in Santa
Rosa led by Patriot Riders, nine films, panel
discussions with veteran farmers, musicians
and artists, and a Veterans Art Show.
In the festival’s Arts in Film section,
Alexander Sokurov’s masterpiece The
Russian Ark (Sunday, September 23) is the
story of a 19th century French aristocrat who
travels through the Russian State Hermitage
Museum encountering historical figures from
the last 200+ years. There will be a
discussion about the art collection housed in
the Hermitage with Sonoma State Professor
Bruce Elliott, a Russian art and photograph
exhibit and a traditional Russian buffet.
The festival launches innovative
collaborations with Redwood Empire
Chinese Association, Filipino American
Community of Sonoma County, Fort Ross
Conservancy, Social and Environmental
Entrepreneurs (an irresistible fleet of citizen
farmers), Farmer Veteran Coalition, Veterans
Helping Veterans Endure, among others.
52
In association with Redwood Empire Chinese
Association and Wu Academy, Starry Starry Night
screens September 14 at 8 p.m. at Deerfield Ranch
Winery. Festivities include a lion dance, Chinese
music and cuisine.
Sonoma County artist Gerald Huth’s art piece
was inspired by the film Broken Tail,
the story about a tiger who leaves a preserve
in India searching for a mate.
Septeber 19, 6:45 p.m.
6th Street Playhouse, Santa Rosa
These immersive, interactive programs
include films, art shows, live music ethnic
cuisine and dialogue.
Deerfield Ranch Winery in Kenwood
Sonoma Valley returns as the exclusive
winery host venue where films screen inside
the Grand Room Cave and outside under the
stars. Food is culture and casual, intimate,
family style dining at DRW is a huge draw
during the festival. Food vendors (one per
night) are creating menus inspired by the
films’ countries of production – China,
Taiwan, France, India, Spain, Philippines,
USA, Kazakhistan and Argentina. Local
vendors are Yum Yum Bistro Trolley, Bay
Laurel Catering, The Strudel Guy, Willibird,
Mommy’s Yammys, Bear Korean Restaurant
and Republic of Paradise Catering. Deerfield
Ranch wines are sold by the glass or bottle.
Please no outside alcohol or food. Bring lowbacked chairs and warm clothing.
Visit the website www.sriff.org for
program details, call the office (707) 9353456 for advance tickets or email
[email protected]. Printed programs are
available at each festival venue.

“Our tour guests will learn the dynamics of growing one of the
world’s most sought after grape from soil and root to leaf and berry,”
says Meadowcroft tasting room manager Phyllis Hyland. “Giving our
guests hands-on information about the varietal, why Carneros is an
important growing area for Pinot Noir, and discussing the various
stages of seasonal growth, with the end result being one of our most
popular wines, has become an extremely popular feature at our
tasting room.”
Individuals and small groups are invited to take part in the
weekend tours by calling the tasting room for a reservation at (707)
934-4090. Guests are also encouraged to bring a hat and depending

WINE TASTING, SALES

Sonoma Plaza, a National Historic Landmark, is
originally home to the last of the chain of 21
California missions. Throughout its colorful
history – including the Bear Flag Revolt where the
California state flag was first raised in 1842 – the
small-town epicenter is now home to some 25
gourmet dining establishments, 40 boutique shops
and art galleries as well as 18 unique tasting
rooms. A well-known tourist destination, visitors
come to Sonoma to experience the idyllic Wine
Country lifestyle. Sure, doublewide tractors may
grace the two-lane Highway 12, wide-open
ranchlands blanket the valley between towns, and
wooly sheep keep weeds and grasses minimal in
the vineyards. But, no doubt, you will also find
countless award-winning wineries and world-class
restaurants in Sonoma. Sonoma is all about life,
about taste and enjoying each day.

Gloria Ferrer Winery Partners with WillMar Family Grief & Healing Center
Beginning in 2011, Gloria Ferrer became the first full participant
in WillMar’s Winery Partnership of Hope & Healing. In addition to
the annual sales of the Bluebird nesting boxes, Gloria Ferrer hosted
WillMar’s 2012 Celebration and Fundraiser – Nantucket in the Caves
(a Lobster Feast) last March – a fabulously fun and successful Gala
event. Just recently, Benziger Family Winery joined this wonderful
funding partnership and the next Gala event will be held at their
Glen Ellen winery in March of 2013!
Gloria Ferrer has donated the proceeds of both of these rare and
delicious Carneros Pinot Noir bottlings in support of WillMar Family
Grief & Healing Center’s fundraising efforts for bereaved children
within Sonoma Valley and surrounding areas. Each bottling will
consist of only 100 cases of this very special vintage.
Currently, “futures” for the 2014 distribution are being sold of the
special, highly limited vintage of Gloria Ferrer 2011 WillMar Artist
Series Pinot Noir. What is extraordinary about this entire venture
with Gloria Ferrer is that although this wine will not be released until
2014, Gloria Ferrer generously offered WillMar an advance of
$25,000, in anticipation of sales of the 2011 vintage, knowing that
the children and families are in need of healing support now. This is
truly something special!
As some of the 100 cases of this exclusive Gloria Ferrer Carneros
2011 Pinot Noir “futures” are still available at the Gloria Ferrer
Tasting Room. Family, friends and community are encouraged to
purchase futures of this estate Carneros wine before they are all
reserved.
The original artwork from WillMar’s Artist Series will grace the
bottles with label artwork designed by young, talented WillMar artists.
Posters of this artwork are also available for sale in the tasting room.
WillMar Family Grief & Healing Center, (founded as WillMar
Center for Bereaved Children in 2000) provides a safe, healing
environment and compassionate support for youth and their family
members grieving a death, or suffering through the trauma of living
with a family member with a life-altering illness or injury. Using the
peer support group model and emphasizing the expressive arts,
WillMar Center helps children and teens aged 3 ½ to 19 and their
families as they progress through the healing process after a
catastrophic loss. At the end of our WillMar’s 2011-12 program year,
the Center’s free in-house programming served 211 youth through
weekly and bi-weekly peer support groups. Of the youth served this
past year, 81 percent lived within Sonoma Valley while 19 percent
traveled from areas as far as Sacramento, Santa Rosa, Sebastopol,
Healdsburg, Kenwood, Petaluma, Novato and Napa.
Gloria Ferrer is located at 23555 Arnold Drive, Sonoma, CA
95476. For more information, call (707) 996-7256.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | MENDOCINO/LAKE COUNTIES
Steele Wines Harvest Festival & Vineyard Run
The 16th annual Steele Wines Harvest Festival will be held from
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, October 13 and 14, and
will feature wine, food, art, entertainment and more.
Famous for its grape-stomping competition for kids and adults,
the two-day festival offers a barbecue served by the local 4-H Club, as
well as several vendor booths with plentiful food, fine art, arts and
crafts, and other unique souvenirs and gifts. In addition, various
musicians will perform both days.
Tasting of the Steele Wines collection from Lake County vineyards
also will be available throughout the weekend, and tasters will go
home with a Steele Wines logo glass.
Children are welcome to attend the event and hang out in the kids’
corner, featuring face painting, storytelling, kids’ crafts and more.
Sponsored by Steele Wines and held in conjunction with the
Harvest Festival, the 22nd-annual Vineyard Run for Literacy will take
place Sunday, October 14. A benefit for the Lake County Literacy
Coalition, the 5K/10K run and the 5K walk begin at Steele Wines,
with a course along autumn-colored vineyards and orchards.
Registration is at 8 a.m. Sunday, and the race starts at 9 a.m. The
entry donation is $20 per person and $30 per family.
Steele Wines is located at 4350 Thomas Drive at Highway 29 in
Kelseyville, California. The tasting room is open Monday through
Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information about Steele Wines
or the Steele Wines Harvest Festival, call (707) 279-9475 or visit
www.steelewines.com. For more information on the Vineyard Run for
Literacy, call (707) 263-7633.
Lake County’s winegrowing regions span vast, diverse terrain
shaped by both volcanics and tectonics. Its high elevation, intense
climate, and distinct soils combine to produce wines of high quality
and character that have continued to gain impressive industry
recognition. Visitors to the area experience these award-winning
wines in casual tasting rooms that reflect the area’s friendly, relaxed
lifestyle. Lake County is part of the North Coast appellation along
with neighboring regions of Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino, and
within Lake County are five designated appellations: Benmore Valley,
Clear Lake, Guenoc, High Valley and Red Hills.

Shannon Ridge Family of Wines
Opens New Tasting Room
Shannon Ridge Family of Wines has opened a new tasting room in
the High Valley Appellation of Lake County. Located on Highway 20
in the town of Clearlake Oaks, the tasting room gives Shannon Ridge
Family of Wines greater visibility and access. “Our goal is to make the
new tasting room a real expression of the agriculture of Lake County,”
stated Clay Shannon. “Of course we’ll have wine tasting, but we also
plan to offer our grass-fed lamb, fresh produce, a gourmet deli and a
store with fresh-brewed coffee and homemade ice cream.
“We expect the tasting room to be the go-to place for locals who
are shopping for produce or dinner supplies,” continued Shannon,
“and for visitors to Lake County who are looking for a taste of great
wine and a gourmet sandwich.”
The new tasting room is located at 13151 East Highway 20 in
Clearlake Oaks and is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more
information, call (707) 998-9656.
The Shannons are committed to preserving their land, not only for
the great vineyard sites but also for the bear, elk, mountain lions and
other creatures which live there. Of the approximately 1,400 acres on
the ranch, only about 35% have been converted to vineyards. The
balance of the land has been preserved for the wildlife which wanders
through the property from the expansive wilderness area to the north
and east. The vineyards were carefully planned out, leaving corridors
open to migrating animals and to protect sensitive nesting areas.

of their daughter, Heather McGrail. The
McGrails have been growing grapes for the
last 12 years for the Steven Kent Winery. In

Music and wine lovers can have the both of best worlds by tasting
musically inspired wines with live music by the singer/winemaker
who goes by the name: The Singing Winemaker (aka Steve Powell).
Steve’s signature wines are his red varietals but he offers every type
of wine ranging from Dolcissimo, a musical term meaning “very
sweetly” for a Cabernet Sauvignon blush; a white Scherzando,
(musical term for playful) for his, light summer white wine; a tawny
Port; a late harvest Zin dessert wine along with peach, raspberry and
almond sparkling wines. “We focus on red but provide wine for all
palates, there is something in the tasting room for everyone,” he said.
“We have great wines and the best wine tasting experience.” The
Singing Winemaker has not released a new red wine in a year, so this
summer he is back in action, releasing six wines. Each will have a
release party during the summer with wine and food pairings for
guests and of course, music for every age and taste performed by The
Singing Winemaker.
Many of his wines have musical names including his Harmony
blend made with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Old Vine Zinfandel.
The Singing Winemaker’s popular Melody which is a blend of Malbec
and Tempranillo is always a crowd pleaser along with another favorite,
Amador County Barbera, which is a robust Italian varietal.

Pinotfest Beach Party
On Saturday, September 29, the second annual Pinotfest is
being held from 6 to 10 p.m. at the newly renovated Del Monte
Beach House in Monterey. There will be over 20 vintners

great Pinot Noir wine regions, coupled with natural beauty
and the area’s attractions, event organizers believe that
Monterey a natural choice to locate a Pinot Noir-themed wine
event.
The Hope Center Food Pantry in Monterey has been
founded to provide groceries and pet food for neighbors in
need. The Hope Center Monterey is run completely by
volunteers and is the only food pantry on the Monterey
Peninsula to provide pet food. “We believe that keeping
families together, with their pets, and fed, even in the toughest
of economic times is the best way we can keep our community
strong, happy and safe.” For more information on the Hope
Center, visit www.hopecentermonterey.org.
The following vintners are participating in the second
