intelligence for the Wine conSUMer
by Len Napolitano
What is corked wine?
There’s a lot of talk about corked wine among winemakers, but,
oddly enough, relatively little among wine consumers. It could ruin
the day for a winemaker, but will likely go unnoticed by the average
wine drinker. Still, the industry is taking steps, some might describe
them as drastic, to greatly reduce, and ultimately eliminate, corked
wines from the wine scene altogether.
A corked wine is not what you may think it is. It is not a wine that
has been oxidized because of a dry cork that does not seal out air
properly. And it is not a wine that has pieces of broken cork floating
inside. Rather, it is a wine that has been tainted by a bad cork that
contains a chemical called TCA. The result is a smell that is obvious
to anyone who makes, sells, or recommends wine for a living, but
may not be so easily detectable by the average wine consumer.
A corked wine is described as having
an odor of mustiness, dampness, wet
cardboard and other unflattering comparisons. When you stick your nose in the glass the first time, the scent
can sometimes be jarring. Other times it is subtle. In either case, the
wine is certainly drinkable without causing harm. The problem is
that it tends to destroy the fine fragrances of fruit that the winemaker
has taken pains to bring forward. This is the main reason the winemaking industry has begun using alternative methods of bottle
closure, including twist caps, which have a zero chance of getting
TCA contamination.
In the process of manufacturing natural corks, steps are taken to
be sure the material is kept clean, all the way through to packaging.
Tests are done on samples to check for levels of TCA. Unfortunately,
in cases that are estimated to range from 2% to 10%, tainted corks
will slip by, get shipped to wineries with TCA levels above the
average threshold of detection and end up as closures in bottles. The
good news it that cork manufacturers have made significant progress
in reducing and even eliminating the risk of cork taint in wines.
When ordering wine in a restaurant, if you suspect it may be
corked, don’t hesitate to ask for a second opinion. You should be
able to tell from a few good sniffs of the wine inside a glass. Concentrate on what you smell, and think about the words above that I
used to describe a corked wine. If any of them apply, chances are the
wine is tainted and will not be nearly as enjoyable as it was intended
to be.

Quality Wines All Under $25
at Wine Garage, Calistoga
UPCOMING:

- MAY 20 -
Russian Hill Estate
- JUNE 17 -
Simoneau Vineyards
Hidden next to a dilapidated ’40s-era former filling station on Highway 29 in
Calistoga lies the Wine Garage. A unique wine shop in Napa Valley that retails all
wine in the store under $25. Sound crazy? Its true. And the proprietors Todd and
Joy Miller, have hit on a niche in the Valley that had been very missed by the locals
there.
“There are a lot of winemakers here that can’t afford to drink the wine they
make” says Miller. “That’s crazy, yes, but who can afford to drink a $65 bottle with
dinner every night?”
Many people miss the Wine Garage on the first try upvalley, but the search is
well worth it. Miller stocks wine from all of California’s wine growing regions
including an large assortment from Napa and Sonoma counties and other California appellations. When he first sought out buying the initial inventory, “I enlisted
a local farmer buddy and his 15-foot box van and off we went all over California
hunting down the deals. I tried to seek out the small producers who didn’t have
distributors so I could pass the savings on to my customers.” And Miller did just
that. His store is stocked with high-quality juice all under $25 and all are unique.
Most labels in the shop are unrecognizable – but all pass the same test; everything
passes over Miller’s lips before he makes a buy. “If I don’t love it, I don’t buy it,
period. Sometimes I will taste over a hundred wines in one day, load up the truck
and haul it up to Calistoga, unload at the store, and maybe I will crawl in bed by 3
a.m. Needless to say my buddy bowed out of the deal after their second trip. I
initially recruited him on a ‘hey lets go wine tasting in Santa Barbara’ until he realized how much work it entailed. Poor guy, he had to be at the farm at 5 in the
morning.”
It is all worth it. Millers’ customers love him. He has a unique ability to hear a
verbal description of a customer’s favorite wine and translate that into a recommendation for sometimes a third of the cost. “I have people all over the country that use
me as their local wine shop. I ship right to their door – and the cost of the shipping
is a drop in the bucket compared to what they save on the cost of the wine.
Miller gets deals on Napa wine too. “I have winemakers from small wineries
stop in every week saying ‘I have something that will fit into the store,’ if they only
have 15 or 25 cases of an end-of-vintage wine – I am the perfect outlet for them.”
So head up to the Wine Garage and check out the best deals in the Valley at
1020 Foothill Blvd (Hwy 29), Calistoga, CA 94515. For more information, call
(707) 942-5332. You can also check out the website at winegarage.net.

Grower of the Year: The Ledbetter Family
These are words you can hang
your hat on: The Ledbetter
family was named the first recipient of the Grower of the Year
award during the 2011 Unified
Wine & Grape Symposium’s
general session because of “their
commitment to the quality and
diversity of winegrapes that
make the industry what it is
today.” Spoken by Allied Grape
Growers president Nat DiBuduo,
those words hold some meaning.
Before an audience of 1,200plus in Sacramento, DiBuduo
relayed some history that points
to the Ledbetter family’s commitment to farming. Their ag roots
date back to the 1930s, when the
family farmed in the small town
of Delano in the San Joaquin
Valley. In the 1970s, they began
farming winegrapes in and
around Lodi. Their reach now
extends to Sonoma, Napa,
Monterey, Yolo, San Luis Obispo
and Santa Barbara counties:
13,000 acres of winegrapes and
more than 100 winery clients
and 150 full-time employees.
Keith Ledbetter started Vino
Farms in the 1970s. His sons Jim
and John joined the company in
1976 and 1979, respectively.
Kim Ledbetter-Bronson, John’s
daughter, joined in 1998; Craig
Ledbetter, John’s son, and
Marissa
Ledbetter,
Jim’s
daughter, both began in 2006.
DiBuduo said the Ledbetters
are committed to cultural practices and employee relations.
They use state-of-the-art viticulture practices. They were the
earliest winegrape growers to
adopt sustainable farming practices throughout their operations, helping to develop the
Lodi Rules for Sustainable Wine-
growing and participating in
other programs such as the
Sustainability in Practice (SIP)
Vineyard Certification Program
and Fish Friendly Farming.
From industry groups to local
commissions, they give of their
time. Kimberly is currently the
chair of CAWG and serves on
Unified’s
management
committee.
“The bottom line is they are
true
California
winegrape
growers,” he said. “They farm
numerous varieties in numerous
parts of the state. They are
committed to quality, the environment and their people – and
they’re involved in the industry.
You’re talking multi-generations,
multi-varieties. They are some of
the early movers and shakers of
the industry. They’re good, basic
people.”

WINERY FEATURE | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Beringer Vineyards
Innovation and Excellence Since 1876
by Charles Neave
Walkways, terraces, the tunnel of trees
that are on either side of Route 29 (St.
Helena’s main street) soften any car noise, and
above, going up the hill that holds the caves,
the vegetation forms another barrier not only
to any noise, but to the present and to the
future, for this is hallowed ground for wine
lovers. The government and other powersthat-be, must feel the same; ten years ago the
entire site was designated a Historic District
on the National Register of Historic Places. As
an aside, it should be noted that it is also the
oldest continuously operating winery in this
famous grape growing, wine producing valley
and the first to offer public tours.
Two of the most obvious examples of the
historic significance of the property are the
Rhine House and the less grand (and much
less grandiose) Hudson House. The former
was Frederick Beringer’s home. Completed in
1884 and designed by noted architect Albert
Schroepfer, it boasts a beautiful exterior with
first rate stonework. Inside the stained glass
windows and interior wood paneling showcases exceptional artistry and craftsmanship.
The 17-room mansion was designed and
constructed to create a California villa that
was reminiscent of the family’s impressive
home at Mainz-on-the-Rhine in Germany.
When it was built it cost about $28,000 (with
the 40 panels of stained glass accounting for
$6,000 of the total) and it remains a classic
The year was 1868 when a German
emigrant named Jacob Beringer joined his
brother Frederick to start a new life in
America. Both of them had heard in great
detail, and with great interest, of the
temperate climate that had drawn many
others to this part of Northern California.
And Jacob, with his experience in other wine
cellars, found the rocky and well-drained
soils not unlike those of his native Rhine
Valley, a region he was very familiar and
comfortable with when it came to crafting
fine wine.
From the very first days the two brothers
were ahead of the times in many ways. For
instance they built a gravity-flow winery and
employed a steam-powered grape crusher
while Chinese laborers hollowed out the hillside to construct caves that are still in use
over a hundred years later, and remain a
major factor in the winery’s continued
success.
Even in those earliest days Jacob recognized that the quality and potential of the
Napa Valley’s various grape growing regions
(much later called appellations) was essential
to the success of the wines bearing the family
name. Today those grapes include varietals
that include (but are not limited to) Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir,
Zinfandel, Merlot and the internationally
recognized Cabernet Sauvignon fruit.
Walking the grounds of the iconic
Beringer Vineyards just outside of St. Helena,
near the midpoint of the Napa Valley, is a
unique experience. Above the grounds and
set into the hillside is the entrance to the
thousands of square feet of caves where the
temperature of 58-60 degrees and perfect 7580 percent humidity is the place where
barrels of wine sleep and age. Both humidity
and temperature occur naturally. The trees
that loom above the property are centuries
old; the plantings below their boughs look
almost as old, despite their seasonal vibrancy.

example of ornate Victorian
architecture.
The Hudson House was built
earlier, around 1850 it is
believed, and was on the property when the Beringer brothers
bought the land in 1875. Originally the house of David Hudson,
who was known for his involvement in the Bear Flag Revolt of
1846 in Sonoma, an event that
was instrumental in California
gaining independence from
Mexico. When Frederick began
planning his majestic Rhine
House he decided the best location was the spot where the
Hudson House, Jacob’s residence,
stood. So the Hudson House was
summarily moved, pulled on logs
by draft horses to its current location.
Nearby is what they call the
Leaning Oak, an ancient valley
oak over 200 years old. In honor
of its age and its significance, it
has been designated a U.S.
Constitution Bicentennial Tree
because it was alive at the time of
the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. In its’ honor,
Beringer proudly produces a line
of wines called “Leaning Oak”
which are available only at the
winery.
So there it is: history, innovation, a commitment to both
quality and history and a long
tradition of creating fine wine. All
of them intertwined, as you will
find to your delight when you
visit this part of history in the
Napa Valley, and taste, and see,
for yourself.
There are a variety of tastings
available at the winery, including
private tastings, vineyard tours
and history walks. They are open
daily from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.
(until 6 p.m. in the spring).
Beringer Vineyards is located at
2000 Main Street in St. Helena.

Sonoma International Film Festival, April 6-10
Wine tasting gets sweeter when paired with indie films,
Hollywood celebrities and gourmet food
The 14th annual Sonoma International Film Festival runs from
April 6-10. Centered around Sonoma’s historic plaza, this destination
film festival becomes wine country’s most exciting production each
spring. Film lovers, foodies and wine enthusiasts alike come to enjoy

jewel: world-class wine.
Visitors will be captivated by vibrant green hillsides, a charming
town square and an abundance of wine tasting options to round out a
cinematic event that ranks among the top film festivals around the
world. Festival Director Kevin McNeely notes that Sonoma’s smalltown atmosphere lends itself to the intimate experience of the film
festival, “All of our film venues are in walking distance of the ‘Backlot’
– a gourmet food and wine tent that serves as the festival hub and
highlights the best of the valley’s vintages and gourmet foods.”
The first U.S. city to receive the “Cittaslow” designation, the town
of Sonoma captures the essence of gourmet living and provides a luxurious backdrop for the festival’s unparalleled programming.
Film selections, tributes and Lifetime Achievement Awards for the
2011 Festival will be announced this month. Previous honorees
include Bruce Willis, Lauren Hutton, Michael Keaton, Blythe Danner
and Danny Glover. Last year’s Festival featured 74 films from 12 countries and more than 18,000 attendees.
The Sonoma International Film Festival is one of the top destination film festivals in the world and is uniquely positioned to be a lively
celebration of film, food and wine. An annual gathering for film
industry insiders, cinema enthusiasts, filmmakers and critics, SIFF is
considered among the most scenic and epicurean places to experience
the art of film. Founded in 1997, The Sonoma International Film
Festival is a five-day international event that takes pride in showcasing
emerging talent and featuring unreleased films.

Ask any realt estate agent and it’s likely that one of the first things
you will hear is “location, location, location.” When you visit the wine
country of Northern California the same admonition can often be just
as important and just as appropriate.
For any number of reasons, staying in a small inn surrounded by
vines, or an auberge on a distant knoll, may not be the best choice.
Perhaps you’re headed to another city on business or for a family
reunion or anniversary and your time is limited. Possibly you have
limited time between business meetings or other commitments and
access to an interstate highway or business and governmental centers
is crucial. But with that said, it does not mean that you cannot enjoy
a visit or two to a vineyard tasting room, lunch or dinner at a local
restaurant that offers local bounty as well as a list good local wines.
You should be able to take at least a part of a busy day and see some
of the finest landscape the area has to offer. And to that there is, in fact,
a most practical answer: Hilton Garden Inn and the Holiday Inn
Express. Both are handsome, self-contained hostelries with quick and
easy access to Interstate 80. They are both near a long list of dining
possibilities, from burgers and pasta to sushi and steaks, plus plenty of
shopping. Parking is easy and if it is military affairs that are the cause
of your trip, Travis Air Force Base is just up the road a couple of miles.
If it is state business or a trip to Old Town, the capital, Sacramento, is
less than an hour away. For a touch of whimsy the Jelly Belly Factory
is down the road, and the newly renovated waterfront city of Suisun is
not much further.
But what about the wine? Trust us, there is plenty of it, beginning
with tasting rooms and vineyards that are, at most, 20 minutes from
either of these two hotels. Suisun Valley, Wooden Valley, they are
steeped in history and have the advantage over their counterparts in
the much busier Napa Valley in that they are relaxed, the roads and
tasting rooms are much less crowded, and the wine is both first-rate
and reasonably priced. And remember: many Napa wineries – some of
the big names, as a matter of fact – own vineyard property on this side
of the mountain and the harvest of these grapes go into some very
recognizable (and often quite pricey) bottlings.
The obvious thing is that the spacious and immaculate rooms and
suites in both the Hilton Garden Inn and the Holiday Inn Express
make a perfect base to explore this region. And if you do decide to visit
the Napa Valley, that is easy. It is, after all only three-quarters of an
hour away, going either down to Jameson Canyon and over, or
through Wooden Valley and left onto Monticello Road. They are what
you might call a “two turn drive”. That is all there is to it. So an afternoon trip from your hotel room is an easy expedition.
Back at your hotel, you can uncork one of your new finds (and
trust us, even if you live here they are still likely to be welcome discoveries), put some cheese and fruit (the area is world famous for fruit
orchards as well as for grapes) on a plate, put your feet up and relax
before walking or making the short drive to dinner.
It is the best of both worlds: access to Old World wineries, farm
stands, a bistro here, a restaurant there, and freeway onramps so close
you can see them from the lobby. What could be better – and both
more efficient - than that? And as a bonus you have, in your backyard,
all the tools you need to relax and enjoy this special part of Wine
Country.

Grgich Hills Estate
Two Generations of Winemaking and Still Going for Gold!
by Josh Stein
Many aware of wine country history probably already know of
Miljenko “Mike” Grgich, but what many may not realize is how instrumental a role Ivo Jeramaz has played in continuing the winemaking
and winegrowing trail that Mike has blazed for more than fifty years.
Indeed, the Grgich legacy is a reflection of the evolution of the Napa
Valley itself over the last half century, as well as portending where its
future lies.
Mike Grgich has achieved the winemaker’s trifecta: fifty years in an
intense, demanding business; induction into the Vintner’s Hall of
Fame; and acceptance of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the
California State Fair. Along the way, he has helped develop a number
of critical and now common practices and techniques: cold sterilization, managing malolactic fermentation, the logistics of barrel aging in
oak barrels, and the importance of organic and biodynamic farming
practices on wine quality.
Mike brought his family’s Croatian winemaking history with him
when he came to Napa, but he also trained with the pioneers of the
modern Valley: Lee Stewart at Souverain Winery, Brother Timothy at
Christian Brothers, Andrei Tchelistcheff at Beaulieu and Robert
Mondavi at his eponymous winery. It was, of course, at the historic
1976 Paris Tasting where Mike’s public recognition took place – his
Chardonnay received the highest combined score of any wine, red or
white – and, after again winning first place at a second event, The
Great Chicago Showdown, he received his famous nickname, “The
King of Chardonnay.”
Never one to rest or relax, Mike founded Grgic Vina, a Croatian
winery, in 1996, and, in 2002, he was instrumental in helping Dr.
Carole Meredith and Professors Ivan Pejc and Edi Maletic identify
Croatia as the home of the varietal known by us today as Zinfandel.
Mike says he has worked based on a philosophy that comes from the
heart: “There is no sure-proof scientific formula for making great
wines. I realized that you don’t make wine only with your head and
senses. You make wine with your heart. You have to pour your heart
and your love into the wine.” And he has spread that idea of working
from the heart by the establishment of a Professional Wine Studies
scholarship at the Culinary Institute of America; in 2007, he and
Queen Noor of Jordan were given the Roots of Peace Global Citizen
Award for raising landmine awareness.
So, what about Ivo? Even though Mike’s nephew, Ivo’s interests
originally were engineering, but after twenty-five years at the winery –
and now its VP of Vineyards and Production – Ivo has shown just how
much of an impact he could have in the world of wine. Indeed, much
of the accomplishments of the last several decades were the result of
Ivo’s steady support of Mike’s projects. Mike brought Ivo into Grgich
Hills to learn the business from the ground up; his first task, in fact,

was learning to wash barrels.
As Ivo says, “There’s nothing in the winery or the vineyard that I
haven’t done, not just for one day, but really worked at it.” Ivo is now
responsible for all of the daily operations, including the transitioning
of the estate to biodynamic practices. “Biodynamics is like going back
to what our grandfather did, farming without chemicals or pesticides.
Mike taught me early in my career that you need great grapes to make
great wine. Since we’ve converted to using biodynamics, it’s been very
rewarding to see the soil come alive. It allows the wines to be more
authentic, more distinctive.” And, as the awards, medals and scores
have shown, the transition of the estate, and the transition of one generation of stewardship to another, have proven to be quite successful and
ready for whatever the next fifty years bring for the Napa Valley.
Grgich Hills Estate is located at 1829 St. Helena Highway (Hwy. 29)
in Rutherford. The tasting room is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. with tours by appointment. For more information, visit
www.grgich.com.

Tasting Room of the Week:
Etude Winery
by Charles Neave
“Etude was founded on the philosophy that winemaking begins in
the vineyard long before the harvest, and that superior grape growing
diminishes the need for intervention by the winemaker, resulting in
wine that is grown, not made.” That has been the gold standard at this
beautiful winery in Napa County’s Los Carneros region from the
beginning, and as they will be the first to tell you, there is no reason
for a change. It is the basis for many a “Don’t mess with success”
approach, and it certainly works, day in and day out, at Etude.
True, the winery is just off the beaten path, but not by much. After
all, it is at the most five minutes to the road that connects Sonoma and
Napa, Route 121; at most it’s ten minutes from the shops and restaurants of downtown Napa. When you take into consideration the architecture, the history and the verdant grounds and wandering waterfowl, it makes it more than worth it. Then, of course, there are the
outstanding wines.
Today their Etude Estate Vineyard is producing fruit that is unsurpassed, and they are confident that the quality is so superior and
distinct it will set them apart from all other Carneros grape sources.
The most prominent result is the selection of wines they produce
under their label, foremost among them those made with that historic
and notoriously difficult grape: Pinot Noir.
They will also tell you that “There’s no better vehicle with which to
study or practice the craft of winemaking than Pinot Noir. It is the
most challenging, unforgiving and quixotic of all wine grapes, and yet
the most delicate and transparent . . . it is a humbling pursuit, but
when it’s right, it is a glorious and moving thing.”
As of today there are about two dozen Pinot Noir clones – approximately half of them special low yield heirloom varieties – have been
planted in their Estate Vineyard, and everywhere you look you see
their continuing commitment to natural and sustainable winegrowing
32
methods. Naturally occurring wetlands and native flora and fauna
have been protected, and meandering creeks are in the process of
being restored while wildlife has been afforded safe passageway
through the vineyards.
Luckily you can try these wines in their exciting new tasting room.
Designed by the talented San Francisco architect Matt Hollis it’s a
delight on so many levels. There is lighting that is almost sculptural,
end-cut Douglas fir floors and well-chosen art. The ceiling is high
above while below it is comfortable seating, polished wood, a very
modern private tasting room to one side, and wine is displayed in
different ways so it becomes an essential part of the décor. The tasting
bar is perfect for the room, both in style and proportion.
On the west side glass doors open onto a patio with tables, chairs
and market umbrellas and a manicured lawn where special events are
sometimes held. This semi-circular patio is a serene, sun-drenched
place to sample their array of carefully crafted wines.
It’s true that Etude is famous for Pinot Noir and Cabs, in the tasting
room are some other bottlings, including (when available) Pinot Gris,
a Carneros Chardonnay, and a refreshing Rosé of Pinot Noir and is full
of rich fruit accents. Together they all make up a surprising collection
of tastes, offered by a friendly staff in a setting that satisfies and
surprises on so many different levels, in a beautiful setting, just a little
ways removed from the crowds. There are also two brandies on offer
(a Pinot Noir and an XO) from the original Alambic pot stills that were
once on the property. Today these rare brandies are over two decades
old.
The Etude Wines tasting room at 1250 Cuttings Wharf Road, Napa
is open from 10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. daily. Wine and food pairings are
available Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 10 a.m., 1 and 3 p.m. Formal
one-hour seated tasting are available by appointment at 10 a.m. and
1 and 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday. For more information, call
(707) 257-5300. Their web address is www.etudewines.com.

Friday, February 25, visitors and residents of
Napa will witness the beginning of an artistic
effort to revitalize the appearance of downtown
Napa. All are invited to attend the launch event
for Art on First, which will feature a “big reveal”
and a digital component to help people learn
more about the artists. Twenty Bay Area artists
have been selected to create one-of-a-kind art
installations to fill several empty storefront
windows along First Street. The art installations
will remain on display through the rest of the
year.
The City of Napa Tourism Improvement
District (funded by hotels) in partnership with
the Napa Property Based Improvement District
(funded by private businesses located in the
Downtown District).
Launch event for Art on First, an art display
that will give residents and visitors a chance to
step out on the town and cruise the growing
local art scene in downtown Napa’s First Street
Gordon Heuther Gallery
area.
The launch event will be held at the Gordon
Huether Gallery at 1465 First Street in Napa. Art on First runs along First Street between
Main Street and School Street.
To drive people to learn more about the artists, a QR code will be featured on posters in
each window. Viewers can snap a picture of the QR code with their cell phones to learn more
information about the artists. The codes will take visitors to various sources of information,
varying from the Art on First website, Facebook, a video or some other interactive media.
Those who attend Art on First’s launch event will have the chance to meet the artists,
enjoy local wines and mingle outside in the courtyard and inside the art gallery. At 6:15 p.m.
sharp, windows with art installations will light up in unison for a dramatic reveal. Visit
NapaArtonFirst.com for more information or check out the Arts Council Napa Valley on
Facebook or acnv.org.
Art on First also kicks off Free Art Fridays, which will take place every first Friday of the
month beginning March 4. Free Art Fridays will feature a digital scavenger hunt where participants can use clues via Facebook and Twitter to locate an original piece of art. Whoever finds
the art gets to keep it. Free Art Fridays will include casual receptions to celebrate the featured
artist each month.

Calistoga’s Mustard, Mud & Music Festival, March 5 & 6
Mustard Madness still reigns supreme in the Napa Valley town of
Calistoga. Downtown will turn into a veritable jazz club as some of
the area’s best live jazz bands roll out their smooth sounds for the
16th Annual Mustard, Mud & Music Festival on March 5 and 6.
Not one to shy away from a good groove, the Calistoga Chamber of
Commerce has put together a full roster of notable names to fill the
streets from noon to 6 p.m.
The weekend’s events include wine tasting from over two dozen
top wineries on Saturday, March 5, mustard tastings and other
special events, and Sunday morning brunches with more incredible
live jazz on Sunday, March 6.
As any good jazz club knows, they bring in music that keeps
people coming back for more. In that spirit, Calistoga is proud to
welcome Bay Area legend and award-winning singer Roberta
Donnay who will kick off the festival followed by San Francisco
quintet Dangerous Martini. On supporting stages, Amanda King,
Marie Louise and The Jazz Habit, as well as Lili Layton and Susan
Sutton will be belting out classic hits and original numbers. Not to
be outdone by the ladies, Lacey Baker and the Black Diamond Band
are back for more, as well as Bob Culbertson who will be wowing the
crowds with his virtuoso Chapman stick playing. It is a definite
“can’t miss” experience!
Not only will there be free live jazz, but wine tasting from more
than two dozen top wineries including August Briggs, B Cellars,
Castello di Amorosa, Envy Wines, Pope Valley Winery, Twomey
Cellars and Laura Zahtila Vineyards, to name a few. Tickets are $30

gourmet cupcakes and mustard tastings. Let the smooth, sexy
sounds take you into the evening and make a dinner reservation to
sample mustard-inspired dishes at local restaurants along Lincoln

Sunday morning and enjoy special brunch menus and more live jazz
at All Seasons, Calistoga Inn, Hydro Grill and Solbar.

Flavors of chocolate, blackberry, blueberry and cherry

tannins,” Says Richard Gilpin,
Imbibe Wines’ Certified Sommelier and Wine Buyer.
Red Carpet Wines in Glendale California has also added the 2007
vintage to their Top 100 List – coming in at an impressive number 14.
Red Carpet was established as a family business in 1964 and proudly
remains that way.
David Fulton Winery is a very small, family-owned winery
producing less than 400 cases annually of Petite Sirah from their
historic Napa Valley, estate vineyards. David Fulton planted the St.
Helena vineyard in 1860 and built the town’s first stone wine cellar
next to it just one year later with money earned from the invention of
the Fulton One Horse Plow. This dry farmed stand is the oldest,
continually owned and operated family vineyard in California.
Currently, the vineyards and winery are in the hands of David
Fulton’s great-grandson, Fulton Mather and his wife, Dink. Along
with wine club members, friends and family, they pick and sort the
fruit by hand before fermentation and age the wine for nearly three
years in thin-staved French oak barrels in the same location as the
original cellar had been dug. The resulting wine is highly acclaimed
among their peers and a favorite referral among Petite Sirah fans.
David Fulton Winery &
Vineyards is located at 825
Fulton Lane, just four blocks
east of Hwy 29, in Napa
Valley’s historic St. Helena.
Visitors are invited to the
winery on Mondays and
Fridays and most Saturdays
from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for
tasting. Other times are available by appointment. They offer in addition to tasting two vintages of
the award winning Petite Sirah, tastes of “Our Sweet Petite,” a Portstyle wine and 2006 Heritage 1860, their Bordeaux-style blend. All
three wines have very limited productions. Please note that the winery
doesn’t have any commercial signage, so you’ll have to look for the
address (825 Fulton Lane) to enjoy the winery’s private setting!
For more information, call (707) 967-0719, visit the website at
www.DavidFultonWinery.com. Also follow David Fulton Winery on
Facebook and Twitter: @DavidFultonPS.

Annual California’s Artisan Cheese Festival, March 25-27
Saturday night’s “Curds, Cooks & Cuvees” dining event features
local chef’s cheese-inspired dishes paired with top wines and
a dessert station that includes soft-serve sundaes.
The 5th annual California’s Artisan Cheese Festival kicks into high
gear this year with a slew of new Saturday Seminars, hands-on cheesemaking workshops, chef demonstrations, and the bustling sampling
of new cheeses, foods, wines and brews under the Sunday Marketplace tent, plus all of the old favorites that keep attendees coming back
for more!
One of our most popular events is Saturday night’s “Curds, Cooks
& Cuvees” roaming feast. This hot ticket event pairs artisan cheesemakers with top wine country chefs for a perfect culinary collaboration. To go one step further each incredible dish will be paired with a
top vintner for a night of complete cheese and wine satisfaction.
Festival favorite chef Duskie Estes (Zazu and Bovolo) returns to join
Jeff Mall (Zin Restaurant), Nick Demarest (Harvest Moon), Janine
Falvo (The Lodge at Carneros) and Sheamus Feeley (Farmstead) to
create cheese-centric dishes paired with wines from sponsoring winemakers: Keller Estate Winery, Handley Cellars, Fortress Vineyards,
Kokomo Winery, Paul Matthew Vineyards and Sonoma Portworks.
There will also be a panini
station that features Laura
Werlin sampling recipes from
her upcoming book, Grilled
Cheese, Please! Laura will be
pairing her delectable bites
with wines from Gloria Ferrer
Winery.
No dining experience
would be complete without a
sweet ending and we will not disappoint. Our dessert station features
artisan chocolates, dessert wines, port, bubbly, and for the first time
ever: a Straus Family Creamery soft-serve sundae bar.
Also ranking high on the most-popular events list in the weekend’s
lineup is Sunday’s Marketplace. Each year we’ve had to expand the
tent to accommodate more attendees and this year is no exception.
More than 65 artisan producers will sample their local hand-crafted
cheeses, delectable accoutrements, boutique wines and artisan-brewed
beers. On tap again this year is the popular Mugnaini wood-fired pizza
oven churning out artisan cheese-topped pies.
46
Sunday’s Marketplace also features a variety of chef demonstration
including Mary Karlin’s Fresh Cheesemaking from her soon to be
released book, Artisan Cheesemaking at Home and Kristine Kidd
(former food editor of Bon Appetit) showcasing a recipe from her new
book, Weeknight Fresh and Fast. Chef Jacquelyn Buchanan, Culinary
Director of Laura Chenel’s Chèvre, shares secrets of easy recipes with
goat cheese.
The weekend lineup of Saturday Seminars features industry leaders
such as Janet Fletcher, Lassa Skinner, Colette Hatch and Daphne
Zepos. These interactive, taste-driven seminars offer an array of educational topics such as the foundational “Cheese and Wine Pairing” and
the exploratory “California’s Rare Beauties” to the immensely popular
“Cheese and Beer” and the
effervescent, yet sophisticated “Bubbles and Brie”.
New this year is an allday farm-to-table Saturday
Seminar that begins with a
farm tour and finishes up
with a hands-on cheesemaking class. The Friday
Karen Preuss, Photography
Farm Tours continue to be a
sold-out success of interest to future cheesemakers and inquiring
cheese lovers. “By inviting our festival guests to visit local dairies and
cheesemakers, we further the nonprofit festival’s mission to support
and sustain our state’s daily and agricultural community,” said Lynne
Devereux, executive director of the festival.
The festival closes out with Monday’s Trade Day (for professionals;
invitation only), which features Ruth Reichl sharing her vision of
cheese in retail, restaurants and homes. Ruth will be interviewed by
author, consultant, and cheese expert Clark Wolf.
The full schedule of events is posted on the website and tickets are
now on sale, www.artisancheesefestival.com/index.html. Follow them

Meadowcroft Wines Mardi Gras Party, March 5
AUTHENTIC CAJUN FOOD, MUSIC AND MARDI GRAS PARADE PLANNED
Meadowcroft Wines will get a slight jump on Fat Tuesday when
they welcome Mardi Gras in authentic Louisiana style on Saturday,
March 5 from noon to 4 p.m. at the tasting room. Located at Cornerstone Sonoma (12547 Arnold Drive/Hwy 121) the Meadowcroft
tasting room will be rocking with music by Saint Gabriel’s Celestial
Brass Band, an eight-piece group that is the only authentic Jazz/
Funeral/Mardi Gras/Strolling/Marching band west of New Orleans.
Members of the band will lead a Second Line parade around the
Cornerstone shops and gardens, returning to the Pavilion directly
behind the tasting room where the Krewe of Meadowcroft party will
continue.
All of the food for this Mardi Gras celebration is being flown in
from Louisiana. On the menu is Crawfish Etouffee served over rice
arriving from Baton Rouge, Cajun Sausage from Eunice, Jack Miller’s
Barbeque Sauce from Ville Platte and a little lagniappe (a little something extra). And of course, Cajun food pairs exceptionally well with
all the Meadowcroft Wines. Additionally, there will be plenty of Mardi
Gras beads for everyone.
“I don’t think there will be a Mardi Gras party in Northern California as authentic as what we are planning,” said Tom Meadowcroft
owner and winemaker of Meadowcroft Wines. “We have the real deal
when it comes to the food and the music and we will be crowning our
own King and Queen of Mardi Gras 2011.”
The Krewe of Meadowcroft Mardi Gras party is $35 per person in
advance and $40 per person at the door. Reservations are recommended as tickets to the event will be limited. The ticket price covers
wine, food, music and fun.
Meadowcroft Wines is open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. With
plenty of free parking at Cornerstone Sonoma, the area is a perfect
setting for any type of event, both indoors or outdoors. For information or to make reservations, call (707) 934-4090.

Moondance Cellars, Sonoma
Valley Portworks Together Again
Moondance Cellars and Sonoma Valley Portworks have paired up
once again, offering their award-winning wines under one roof at the
Jack London Village in Glen Ellen. Moondance Cellars owners
Priscilla and David Cohen and Portworks owner Bill Reading have a
history of creating a relaxed and fun tasting experience for people, as
both were part of The Wine Room in Kenwood, referred to by locals
as ‘the best damn tasting room in the Valley.”
Since 1992, Moondance Cellars has been producing and cellaring
small lots of award-winning wines sourced from grapes from the
Sonoma, Napa, and Russian River Valleys. This year, the winery won
three Silver medals at the 2011 San Francisco Wine Competition for
their 2009 Orchard Station sauvignon blanc - Russian River Valley,
2009 chardonnay – Sonoma County, and the 2008 “Life Unleashed”
Napa Valley merlot, of which a portion of the proceeds benefits
Canine Companions for Independence, Moondance Cellars is also
known for their Best of Class and Double Gold Medal Cabernet Sauvignons.
Sonoma Valley Portworks is the only winery in Sonoma County
specializing exclusively in ports and after-dinner wines. The winery
hand-selects port grapes from California for “ARIS” petite sirah and
“ARIS” petit verdot ports, as well as blending and bottling unique
dessert wines. Sonoma Valley Portworks “DECO” port was the first
port infused with essences of dark chocolate. Their “MADURO” port
was named “The Best Dessert Wine” in the 2010 Los Angeles International Wine Competition.
The tasting room, located at 14301 Arnold Drive, Glen Ellen, is
open Thursday through Monday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 707938-7550 for more information or visit the website at www.moondancecellars.com.

Shows May 20, 21, and 22, 2011 – Tickets now available
2011 is going to be a very “plus” year at the 7th annual Sonoma
Jazz + Festival Presented by Union Bank with John Fogerty on Friday,
May 20; Sheryl Crow and her new band, featuring material from her
new album, 100 Miles to Memphis, a soul-drenched tribute to Stax
Records, on Saturday, May 21; and the Gipsy Kings at 4 p.m. on
Sunday.
Throw in the ever-popular Wine and Song around the Plaza,
which will feature all varieties of jazz from cutting-edge to funk to
piano to old-time from 1:30 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and a New
Orleans Jazz Brunch on Sunday (11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.), and Sonoma
will be awash in great music on the third weekend in May.
Among the most popular aspects of Sonoma Jazz +, for the past
six years, has been the Wine & Song series around the Sonoma Plaza.
It will of course return, and more details will come later as the event
gets closer. On Sunday – given the 4 p.m. start for the Gipsy Kings
on the main stage – Wine & Song will be from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
and center on a New Orleans Brunch. Think of a transplant of Jackson
Square to the Plaza with fabulous food and the sound of a mellow
trumpet, among other things, across the room.
The Sonoma Jazz + Festival is pleased to recognize its new alliance
focused on programming with AEG Live (www.AEGLive.com), the
world’s second largest live entertainment, concert promotion and
touring company.
Sonoma Jazz + has also completed a new three-year presenting
rights agreement with Union Bank (www.UnionBank.com), a
founding sponsor of the event, which will result in the festival now
being known as Sonoma Jazz + Presented By Union Bank.
Finally, Sonoma Jazz + would especially like to thank the City of
Sonoma for its gracious support. Throughout the seven years of the
festival, the city has unfailingly worked to make the process of
presenting music in Sonoma a rewarding one for both the presenters
and the audiences.
Tickets are available at www.sonomajazz.org or 1-888-512-SHOW
(7469) from $60 to $100 inclusive of ticketing fees.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | LODI
Mark Your Calendars: Lodi School Street Wine Stroll, April 15
The public art exhibit will feature the lifesize sculptures off world-renowned artist,
Seward Johnson. One of America’s most
beloved sculptors, Johnson recreates life in
our times in vividly realistic bronze. At 80,
Johnson has been sculpting life-like figures
for over 30 years, many of which are nestled
into the landscapes of public parks and
private estates. His sense of humor, and affection for people, is evident in all of his works
from the little girls reluctantly sharing an icecream cone, to the tenderness of a mother
reading to her young child. “What I’m trying
to do is draw attention to the simple pleasures, to show how much fun life is. That is
why there are so many humorous details in
my work.” Johnson captures moments for us.
He holds up a mirror for our reflection, and it
is ultimately one that will make us smile at
ourselves. Details and photos of the complete
collection can be found at www.sewardjohnson.com.
The sculptures are on loan from The
Sculpture Foundation, a charitable and
Ten Life-Size Sculptures by Seward Johnson
will Grace the Streets of Downtown Lodi
The 19th annual School Street Wine Stroll
will be celebrated with the arrival of ten lifesize bronze sculptures created by internationally known artist, Seward Johnson. The
sculptures will be placed throughout School
Street in the historic area of downtown Lodi
where the Wine Stroll takes place. More than
25 Lodi wineries will be pouring their wines
in shops and boutiques on Friday, April 15,
from 6 to 9 p.m.
The City of Lodi, through the Arts in
Public Places Funding, is sponsoring the ten
sculptures to be placed on School Street in
downtown Lodi from April 15 to July 15,
2011. Lodi Arts Advisory Board Member
Roger Stafford said, “This is an opportunity
for the Art in Public Places Committee to give
to the City of Lodi an interactive form of art
that will be fun and educational. This art
display also provides an attraction to the
downtown for Lodi residents of all ages and
their out of town visitors.”

The Santa Cruz Mountains Takes the Acid Test
Pinot Paradise Technical Session, March 27, with Keynote Speakers Dr. Roger Boulton,
U.C. Davis; Greg La Follette, La Follette Winery; and Former Winemaker at Flowers Winery
Santa Cruz Mountains winegrowers invite Pinot lovers to “Take the
Acid Test” at the 7th annual Pinot Paradise Technical Session on
March 27.
Attendees at this year’s session will discover the many positive
influences of the unique acid components in Santa Cruz Mountains
AVA Pinot Noir. The session will delve into the origins of natural
acidity levels in the fruit and wine and how these contribute to the
age- worthy, food-friendly, legendary Pinot Noirs for which the Santa
Cruz Mountains are known.
Keynote speakers are Dr. Roger Boulton, Professor and Chair of the
Enology Department of Viticulture and Enology Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, U.C. Davis and co-author of “The Principles and
Practices of Winemaking;” and Greg La Follette, an international vineyard and winery consultant and currently owner of La Follette Winery.
Dr. Boulton was named among “the 50 most influential people in
the US Wine Industry” in 2000 by Wines and Vines Magazine. Mr. La
Follette is the former winemaker at Flowers Winery, where he developed wide acclaim as a renowned Pinot Noir producer. He has also
worked with winemaster André Tchelistcheff at Beaulieu Vineyards
and was the consulting designing winemaker for the new U.C. Davis
teaching winery. He will discuss the viticulture of wine and the
management of acidity levels in the vineyard.
The session also includes a panel of four local winemakers who will
share their experiences and offer a tasting of their Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir. This panel includes: Jeff Emery, Santa Cruz Mountain
Vineyard; Nathan Kandler, Thomas Fogarty Winery & Vineyards;
Dave Moulton, Burrell School Vineyards & Winery; Jim Schultze,
Windy Oaks Estate Vineyards & Winery; and will be moderated by
Nick Guerrero, Vine Hill Winery.
“We are honored to have these speakers share a small part of their
immense wisdom on the influence and management of naturally
occurring acidity levels in premium Pinot Noir from the Santa Cruz
Mountains,” said Prudy Foxx, chair of the Technical Session.
Pinot Paradise begins on Saturday, March 26 with a self-guided
Pathways tour of the region’s wineries, featuring barrel tasting and
library wines. Tickets for Pathway to Pinot Paradise are $25.
On Sunday, the Technical Session is from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.;
followed by the Grand Cruz Tasting from 2 to 5 p.m., and a VIP Tour
preceding it from 1 to 2 p.m. Tickets are $55 for the Technical Session;
$55 for the Grand Cruz Tasting (and an additional $20 for the VIP
Tour); and $140 for all four events. Tickets and more information are
available from the SCMWA at (831) 685-8463, www.scmwa.com,
email [email protected].
Recognized as an American Viticultural Area (AVA) in 1981, the
Santa Cruz Mountains appellation was among the first to be defined
by mountain topography, following the fog line along the coast to
encompass the highest vineyards on the ridgetops at 2600 feet elevation. Here one can find intimate, artisan wineries tucked among the
redwoods along scenic mountain roads, or perched atop ridges with
sweeping views to the sea. Visitors can meet with and talk with the
winemakers, and drive from the mountaintops (where it snows in
winter!) to the coast and enjoy a sunset walk on the beach. Here, wine
tasting is as much an experience of the natural beauty of the region as
it is a delightful discovery of unique world-class wines.

one of the finer pleasures of life. To take a
horseback ride through hillsides flanked with
orchards, past beautiful organically farmed
vineyards overlooking the vast swath of
Silicon Valley that stretches out like one long
exit ramp, is to escape to a world more analog
than digital. Such is the pace at CooperGarrod, where everything is done the oldfashioned, time-honored way. It feels a lot like
home.
When you cross the transom of the old
Fruit House, which serves fruit only in liquid
form at present, you are surrounded by
history. Everywhere you look, you’ll see old
photographs of the Cooper and Garrod families, who have farmed this land since 1893.
As Bill and Doris Cooper like to say, this is a
family-friendly place, run by friendly families
who invite you to kick back, relax and “set a
spell,” perhaps on the new picnic tables
they’ve recently added for outdoor dining.
Or just lean up against the extremely long bar,
62
at 40 feet, more like a runway than a tasting
counter, and ponder what the folks depicted
in the old photos were thinking about.
Certainly not what new iPhone app to download (Cooper-Garrod can be found, handily,
on the free new iPhone app for the Santa Cruz
Mountains available on iTunes), or whether
they were exceeding their allotted texts on
their nearly indecipherable cell phone plan.
No, they were probably thinking about
farming: how to do it better, with less environmental impact, to produce higher quality
fruit. Pretty much the same things Bill Cooper
and his cousin Jan Garrod are constantly
thinking about as they farm their now CCOF
certified vineyards. Says Bill, “We are
constantly thinking about sustainability, how
to reduce water and power use. Some of our
methods might cost more in terms of labor,
but we’re not spending money on harmful
pesticides, and that makes us feel better. We
are getting our rhythm. We know where the
music is taking us.”
They’re happy to have both their daughters and their nephew, Ben Cooper, involved
in the winery. “It’s good to have help, and it’s
good to have good help,” says Bill, adding
that they’ve recently added two more
fermenters with glycol chillers, increasing
their capacity by 66%, and enabling them to
harvest when they want to, not when strongarmed by Mother Nature.
If you’re taken by flight, or just enjoy
flights of fancy, you’ll love the new Test Pilot
label series that will adorn Cooper-Garrod
bottles going forward. Each one is a tribute to
a different airplane that Grandfather George
tested or wanted to, and let’s must say, with
146 aircraft to choose from, Bill will be busy
a long time before he exhausts that arsenal.
The 2005 Test Pilot honors the F86D aircraft,
and is composed of Cabernet Franc, Merlot
and Cabernet Sauvignon. Its wafts lavender
and violets and touches down on the palate
with crisp cranberry and juicy plums. What
a great honor and tribute to the aviator who
jettisoned a high-flying career to become a
winemaker.
Here at this tribute to family and tradition,
you are welcome to taste two wines for free,
or pay a $5 tasting fee, refundable with a 3bottle purchase. As Bill says, you can be part
of the test pilot tasting program: “Test the
wines, and taste the difference.”
Cooper-Garrod Estate Vineyards is located
at 22645 Garrod Road in Saratoga; open
weekdays from noon to 5 p.m.; weekends
from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information,
call (408) 867-7116.

This iPad app is a fun way for children to learn
counting while enjoying the fabulous Blue Dog
artwork of George Rodrigue. Each page displays a
different piece of George’s original art with countable
objects.
Through touch the objects can be counted in any
order and children hear pronunciation plus see the
number displayed. Randomly chosen numbers of
objects in many pages makes this app more interesting
to re-read and the beautiful art, combined with the
story of Blue Dog’s adventures, makes learning to count
lots of fun!
The new app is the first app by internationally renowned Cajun
artist, author, and creator of the Blue Dog series, George Rodrigue. The
app was created in conjunction with the Louisiana Digital Gaming
Initiative (LDGI) and the Academy of Interactive Entertainment (AIE).
LDGI introduced AIE to Rodrigue and then three students at AIE's
Canberra, Australia campus donated their time to create and program
the app outside of their normal coursework.
“I have fun with the computer as an artistic and creative tool no
different than a paintbrush or clay,” said Rodrige. “At the same time,
children seem drawn to my art, especially the notion that they don't
have to paint things the way they really are.
“After two successful children’s books, I’m excited about my first
iPad app, a natural progression in today’s computer world. In addition,
this falls right in line with the mission of the George Rodrigue Foundation of the Arts, supporting youth development through art in
education.
“I could not have been more thrilled than when the Academy of
Interactive Entertainment’s students chose this app as their class
project. Like the app itself, its creation by students once again rein-
