intelligence for the Wine conSUMer
by Len Napolitano
How does wine color change over time?
Guessing a person’s age based only upon their appearance can be
a difficult and delicate challenge. With wine, the guessing game is
only slightly easier, yet without the risk of embarrassment to you or
the subject.
As wine ages in bottle its color passes through a series of stages of
maturity. Upon examination in a glass tilted at an angle against a
white background, a typical young red wine that is less than three
years old has a dense purple center, lessening in intensity toward the
rim. Over the next 5-10 years, the wine color will transition toward
deep red in the center, and slowly evolve into a reddish-brown color.
Very mature red wines will show an even greater degree of brown
in the center and have a rim color of tawny brown. Throughout the
years of aging, from youthful purple to mature brown, the color
pigments in red wine precipitate with the tannins and form into
sediment at the bottom of the bottle. That is an indication that a
wine needs to be decanted before serving.
Certain white wines also mature with time and reveal their age
with a change in color. White Burgundy from France and some California Chardonnays are two examples. Whereas red wines transition
from a dark, dense color to a paler shade of red-brown, the coloring
of white wines will go in the opposite direction, going from a pale
straw color to amber-gold.
The color of wine, and its change over time, also depends on
several other factors other than age. The particular variety of grape,
the length of time the grape skins are in contact with the grape juice
during and after fermentation, and the amount of time the wine
spends aging inside an oak barrel all contribute to a wine’s intensity
of color in its youth and its subsequent development over time.
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. Send your questions

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINE COUNTRY NEWS
Wine Garage – Wine Shop ... or Winery?
Most readers have learned over
the years that some of the best
wine-deals in Napa Valley can be
found at the Wine Garage in
Calistoga. When Todd and Joy
Miller moved to Napa Valley in
2001, they were surprised to find
that they could hardly find any
wines for less than $45 a bottle.
Then they went to a dinner party
at a winemaker’s home, and were
shocked to discover that many
winemakers couldn’t afford to
drink the wines they made. That’s
when the Millers decided to open
the first wine shop in Napa Valley
that only carried wines under $25
a bottle.
So in 2003, Todd Miller
swapped his corporate necktie for
jeans and boots and started
scouring Northern California for
great, undiscovered wines to offer
at his new wine shop, the Wine
Garage in Calistoga. Miller drove the roads less traveled, meeting with
winemakers, walking in their vineyards and tasting their grapes,
barrel samples and finished wines. The winemakers, tickled to have a
real, live wine buyer at their winery, shared stories with Miller over a
glass of wine at the dinner table.
The Miller’s started a wine club three years ago shipping six bottle
shipments for $100. Well, the club was so successful that last year
even Rachael Ray heard about it and featured the Wine Garage on her
Tasty Travels show on the wine country.
Way back in 2003, when Todd was getting permits for the store he
had a vision of selling wine right from the barrel in half gallon jugs
just like they do in France and Italy. To do that he needed an out right
winery license and permit. He got them – much to the shock of the
local winery folks because that kind of thinking was unheard of in
Napa. You can’t be a “winery” and a “wine shop” at the same time in
the same place. No. Well actually yes, you can … under the right
circumstances. The jug program was originally delayed due to the
success of the wine club but Todd did hire a winemaker and set off
trying to find deals on grapes just like he had on case goods. He drove
around after harvest and wrote down what vineyards still had fruit on
the vine that was unsold. He sought help from his many winemaker
and vineyard manager friends. He found deals. He and his winemaker, Massimo Monticelli – a former assistant winemaker at Silver
Oak – made some wine. Good wine.
Todd found some Cabernet grapes up on Diamond Mountain back
in 2006 from a grower that was nervous about a rain storm coming in
right during the peak of harvest. He cut a deal. Then he made another
deal on some Zinfandel and then later on some Syrah. After 18
months in barrel the wine is ready. Go
taste it for yourself, for free.
The Cabernet from the Diamond
Mountain section of Napa gets very
expensive – up to $275 per bottle from
one winery – but the vineyard Todd
found was across the road from the
boundary of the Diamond Mountain
AVA and sold for less money because
you couldn’t put “Diamond Mountain”
on the label. The Wine Garage “Hillside” Cab sells for $45. It is yummy,
too. Big and rich, dark in the glass,
smooth tannins, ripe fruit, chocolate
covered coffee beans comes to mind.
The Zin and Syrah are equally good and
sell for less than the Cab, $30 and $25,
respectfully.
The Joy Ride is a white blend of
Albarino, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier
and Muscat Canelli. The wine was
fermented completely dry in stainless
steel tanks without malolactic fermentation. The nose is extremely fragrant
with white peach, apricot, meyer lemon and jasmine. The body is full
with generous weight on the mid palate and a rich, silky mouthfeel.
There is surprising acidity on the clean and crisp finish. This is a
perfect wine for a wide variety of foods which include sushi, cracked
crab, lemon chicken and many cheeses.
Fill ’er up with wine “pumped” into the half-gallon jugs from the
specially designed gas station nozzles. Two different Wine Garage
blends are offered and filled to order, one Bordeaux based (read: Cab)
and one Rhone (Syrah) and are selling for $29.99 per half gallon jug
that you fill yourself.
Visit Wine Garage at 1020 Foothill Blvd. (Highway 29) in Calistoga; open every day from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. For more information,
call (707) 942-5332 or visit the website at www.winegarage.net.

B.R. Cohn Winery Garners Double Gold at 2011
San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
2007 Olive Hill Estate Cabernet
Receives Top Honor
Bruce Cohn was proud to
announce that the 2007 B.R.
Cohn Olive Hill Estate Cabernet
Sauvignon received a double gold
at the 2011 San Francisco Wine
Competition. This Sonoma Valley
Cabernet is the only double gold
winner from Sonoma County.
The long, warm 2007 growing
season, along with a very low
crop and smaller concentrated
berries yielded one of B.R. Cohn’s
best Cabernets this decade. The
2007 vintage was aged for 24
months in only the finest tight
grain French oak, and expertly
made by B.R. Cohn winemaker
Tom Montgomery. A bouquet of
fine oak, anise and mint combine
with supple tannins and a long
finish to produce a well-balanced
rich full-bodied Cabernet that
will age well for years to come.
B.R. Cohn Winery has consistently produced one of the
premier Cabernets in California
from the Olive Hill Estate Vineyards in the heart of the Sonoma
Valley. Underground natural hot
springs warm the soil, and gentle
ocean breezes create a unique
micro-climate perfectly suited for
growing Cabernet Sauvignon.
“We are very pleased by this
award as it brings into focus the
consistently high quality of
grapes grown on our Olive Hill
estate and the high level of winemaking at B.R Cohn,” enthused
owner Bruce Cohn. “Since
1984, the Olive Hill estate
grown Cabernet continues to be
one of the top Cabernets from
Sonoma Valley.”
Looking forward over the
September 23-26 weekend, B.R.
Cohn Charity Events will be
presenting the Silver Anniversary
25th Annual B.R Cohn Charity
Events Fall Music Festival,
Charity Auction/Celebrity Chef
Wine Dinner and Golf Tournament. Over the years the event
has raised nearly $6 million for
deserving charities and has
featured some of the biggest
names in music. For more information visit www.brcohn.com.
B.R. Cohn Winery is located at
15000 Sonoma Highway 12 in
Glen Ellen. The tasting room is
open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Founded in 1984 by Bruce
Cohn, the estate winery is known
for its critically acclaimed, worldclass, ultra-premium Cabernet
Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot,
Pinot Noir and award-winning
gourmet estate olive oils, vinegars
and gourmet specialty food products. For more information call:
1-800-330-4064 or for other

WINERY FEATURE | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
THE HESS COLLEC TION
by Michelle J. Baker
the green winery movement for many years.
Currently it is one of only six wineries with
both land and winery certification from the
Napa Green Winery Program. In fact, over
600 acres of the Mount Veeder estate are set
aside as undeveloped land to support wild life
corridors, fish friendly farming practices and
bio-diversity. In the spring of 2008, the winery
purchased 24 goats (all of whom turned out to
be pregnant) for ground clearing and underbrush management on the Mount Veeder
estate. Today, a herd of 100 goats control
weeds on the estate and are also stars on the
web at www.mountveederrocks.com.
The winery offers tasting options for visitors with lots of time or those who are
keeping a tight schedule. Just drop in for a
tasting of the “Small Block Series,” wines that
are made in small quantities from 60-700
cases and only available at the winery. These
wines offered at a very fair price in line with
the Hess philosophy that everyone has the
right to drink fine wine every night. Drop-in
visitors can also try a vertical of Hess Collection Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon from
the library. This is a unique opportunity to
see how beautifully Cabernet Sauvignon can
develop over time in the bottle.
With advanced reservations, visitors open
PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE HESS COLLECTION
A scant eight-minute ride hardly seems
out of the way or too far for all that awaits
visitors to The Hess Collection, located in the
hills just west of Napa. This scenic trip from
Highway 29 travels through the lush
Redwood Valley and up into the Mount
Veeder appellation, and what you’ll find at the
top is a magical mountain estate where beautiful wine and world-class art are intricately
meshed like fine silk.
Hess Collection was founded by Donald
Hess, a Swiss businessman who fell in love
with Napa Valley on a business trip in the
1980s to explore the possibility of expanding
his Swiss bottled water company to the
United States. Mr. Hess leased the old Christian Brothers winery on Mount Veeder, and
after two years of renovations opened the
winery to the public in 1989.
The new space included an art museum to
display Mr. Hess’ personal art collection, and
today it is perhaps the finest assemblage of
contemporary art available for public viewing
in the entire North Bay. Since 1966, Mr. Hess
has collected art like a vertical of fine wine –
rather than a piece here from one artist and
there from another, he gets to know each
artist personally and then collects many of
their works over the course of time.
The Hess Collection Contemporary Art
Museum now displays less than one quarter
of Mr. Hess’s total collection, much of which
is shown in other museums around the
world. This is staggering to consider given
that the winery’s museum occupies 13,000
square feet of space. Over the course of a year
approximately 20% of the museum rotates
out and new pieces rotate in, so it’s always
worth a stop just to see what’s new.
The other star at Hess Collection, of
course, is the wine, a vast selection from the
Mount Veeder estate and two other estate
properties, Allomi Vineyard on Howell
Mountain and Su’skol Vineyard near
Carneros. The Mount Veeder estate is a 900acre parcel with more than 300 acres planted
to a smorgasbord of unique varietals (in addition to the predominant Cabernet Sauvignon)
such as Gruner Vetliner, Petit Verdot, Petite
Sirah and Malbec, all of which thrive in the
coolest climate in Napa Valley. The Carneros
vineyard, Su’skol is planted entirely to
Chardonnay, and the Howell Mountain vineyard, Allomi, primarily to Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Hess Collection has been a leader in

themselves up to a whole other
world of tasting and touring
opportunities. Hess Collection’s
“Tour, Wine and Cheese Pairing,”
offered daily, is a chance to tour
the winery and then enjoy a
hosted tasting of wines paired
with artisan cheeses ($35 per
person). The winery’s “Tour of the
Palate” includes a guided tour of
the art museum followed by a
tasting of three current release
wines paired with three culinary
creations from Executive Chef
Chad Hendrickson ($50 per
person). Chef Chad utilizes an
organic garden outside the
kitchen to create fresh seasonal
recipes to pair with Hess Collection wines.
Hess Collection also offers a
fun and informative Wine 101
crash course hosted by a certified
sommelier. This comprehensive
tour and tasting takes participants through the estate vineyard, winery and barrel room,
and finally to the private dining
room for a seated tasting overlooking the Mount Veeder hills.
Upcoming Wine 101 crash
courses are scheduled for
February 20, March 13, March
27, April 10 and April 24, 2011.
Visit Hess Collection to see the
impresssive art collection at no
charge (including use of headsets
for the audio tour as you stroll),
or just to taste the wine for a
nominal fee, or do both. Either
way, a friendly concierge will
greet you at the door and explain

Tasting is your chance to experience new and exciting award winning
wines with a group of friends at the Annual Public Tasting held
February 19 at Fort Mason Center’s Festival Pavilion in San Francisco.
The tasting will feature thousands of the country’s finest wineries and
their awarded wines, along with a truly exceptional spread of gourmet
fare. Unpretentious and fun, this popular event encourages everyone
to come together, learn about many new wines and enjoy a dream
fulfilling new wine experience.
Your palate will thank you as you meander through more than
300 wineries pouring their sophisticated award winning wines at the
San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition Public Tasting. The
tickets are affordable at $65 when purchased in advance from

Wine Competition, the SFCWC has evolved immensely over the years,
expanding its eligibility to wineries throughout the United States. In
2000, the event gained sponsorship from the San Francisco Chronicle
and appropriately assumed the title the San Francisco Chronicle Wine
Competition.
Education and philanthropy play an important role in this competition produced by winejudging.com and hosted by the Cloverdale
Citrus Faire .In addition to benefiting the Santa Rosa Junior College
Wine Studies and Culinary Programs; the San Francisco Chronicle
Wine Competition added the Enology / Wine Programs at CSU Fresno
and Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo as additional beneficiaries in 2010.
The 2011 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition is grateful to
Presenting Sponsor Target, KGO Newstalk AM810, NBC Bay Area,
and Wine & Spirits Magazine for their sponsorship and support, as
well as to American AgCredit and Hilton Fisherman’s Wharf for their
involvement.

Jay Corley & Sons
Corley Family
Monticello Vineyards
No matter how long you’ve lived in or
visited wine country, it’s still a challenge to visit
all the wineries, right? Because you develop a
list of favorites that you must visit every trip
and there’s only so much time… That’s why it’s
always a thrill to discover a new favorite, or an
old favorite, as you will when you drop in at
40-year-veteran Monticello Vineyards on Big
Ranch Road in Napa.
Jay Corley came to Napa Valley in 1969
with the spirit of a pioneer, intent on finding
some land to grow his favorite varietals. Jay
Corley was a grower only until 1980, when he
hired a winemaker and started to produce
wine, too. Corley was a great admirer of
Thomas Jefferson, who was not only a
founding father but also the United States first
great connoisseur. He honored the third president by naming the winery Monticello Vineyards after Jefferson’s mountaintop home in
Charlottesville, Virginia. In 1984, the Corleys
built the Jefferson House, their version of
Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello on the Home
Ranch that is now used to entertain guests. Jay
Corley has since passed the reins of the vineyards and winery to three of his sons: Kevin,
winegrower and president; Stephen, who

everything the Corleys produce from their
estate vineyards in Napa Valley. The real treat
is to get downstairs in “The Cellar of The
Jefferson House” and taste in “The Library” or
“The Reserve Room.” Also, guests at Monticello often get a chance to do some “barrel
tasting on the fly,” during weekends (Friday,
Saturday and Sunday) before noon with a
comparative sampling of Cabernet Sauvignon
from three different estate vineyards.
The Corleys love to tailor tastings to their
guests’ preferences (with appropriate advance
notice), so don’t be shy about telling them
what you like. They also like to show off their
library and library wines in a “vertical” format.

B Cellars Blends Varietals to Develop Distinct Flavors
When B Cellars (www.bcellars.com) founder Jim Borsack first
encountered his partner Duffy Keys at a fourth of July barbecue in
2002, both executives were exploring new life paths in the wine business. Over a drop of the good stuff, of course, their journeys became
intertwined when they discovered that they not only shared the same
tastes in wine but were also on parallel missions to acquire vineyard
property.
In the spring of 2003, they scrapped their solo endeavors, formed
B Cellars, and got serious about structuring a first-rate wine company
predicated upon two absolute principles: first, to produce exceptional
artisan wines, season after season, by employing a multi-vineyard
strategy, and second, to develop distinct flavors by blending wines
from mutually complementary varietals.
Not long after they met the third key player, Kirk Venge named
“One of the Top 20 New Winemakers in the World” by Food & Wine
Magazine (October 2005). Kirk brought with him a 37-year winemaking legacy via his father, Nils, and a keen understanding of the
Napa appellation. A bond was established almost immediately. All
team members were in concert with the idea of blending the finest red
wines from the Napa Valley Appellation, and Kirk was given the
mandate to create three proprietary blends of consummate quality
from year to year.
The B Cellars name and logo stand for a commitment to seasonless
excellence. The letter “b” and the degree symbol (º) refer to brix, a
B Cellars Tasting Room, Calistoga
wine term which defines the optimal sugar/alcohol content in grape
juice that indicates the potential for greatness. B Cellars is committed
to the artisan approach, creating perfectly balanced and complex
wines.
Taste the wines at the B Cellars tasting room, 400 Silverado Trail in
Calistoga; open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information,
call (707) 709-8787 or visit the website at www.bcellars.com. You can
also follow them on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

SUISUN VALLEY
Benefits of Joining the Vezer Family Vineyard Wine Club
vated into a European-style oasis. Here you feel like you were on the
set with Russell Crowe in the movie “A Good Year.”) Throughout
the year there are special concerts and formal dinners at the winery
and at the private ranch. Just imagine one of America’s greatest
tenors starting with the ballet “Besame Mucho” as the light slowly
turns its focus on the star standing in the middle of the vineyard,
secluded in a private mile-long valley owned by the Vezer’s, then all
the sudden this beautiful
blond in a cobalt blue gown
starts on the hillside nearby
with an instrumental solo
with her electric violin that
simply resonates throughout
the valley. Just as the
sommelier pours you a wine
right from a magnum of one of Vezer’s private reserves, all while
enjoying wild boar, Moroccan chicken or filet mignon. As owner
Frank Vezer says, “It is truly the opportunity of a lifetime, and it is here
for you to enjoy!”
The wine club, due to the limited production and quaint private
settings is anticipated to be capped at 1,000 members. The Club
consists of 250 spots for Chieftains – VIP Chairmen’s, and 750 Elite
members and these two quotas are quickly filling up. Stop by and visit
the Vezers and join either club at the tasting room or you can even join
online at www.vezerfamilyvineyard.com.

As Frank Vezer says with
great pride, “The 2006 and
2007 vintages of Vezer Cabs
and Zins rock the house.” In
the last 18 months, both in
the major national and international competitions, Vezer
has won gold, double gold
and tied for “Best in Class for North Central Coast Appellation.”
Only some of the finest restaurants and wine shops in the
country carry Vezer, and only by special arrangement. The wines
range from $50 to $100 retail, but wine club members get a great
discount and a guaranteed of allocations. If you try to get this wine
anywhere else – if you can even find it – you can expect to pay
close, to or more than, $200 per bottle. The winery has discovered
that when people join they do not let their membership go. In fact,
Vezer has one of the highest club retentions of all time. There are many
reasons to join other than the award-winning wine shipments and the
benefits that give you VIP status and recognition. There’s ambiance
that you simply cannot get anywhere else, free tastings for up to four
to six people, a private tasting room and club room onsite, ATV tours,
free wine club pick-up parties with live music, exceptional food and
wine served right from the barrels.
Winter pick-up parties are usually barrel burning events, roasting
linguica, Hungarian Paprika Bacon and sausages from all over the
world, accompanied by hearty Zins, some seductive Cabernets, Petite
Sirah and Barrel Room Select Blends. And try roasting smores over the
open fire while tasting some of the finest white and ruby Ports.
At the spring and summer pick-up parties there are outdoor
movies, barbecues and live music in the gardens, either at the Private
Ranch or the small Western Village of Mankas Corner. (The Vezer’s
bought Mankas Corner, in its entirety, several years back and reno-

Insignia and Backus Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Two Award-Winning Wines from Joseph Phelps Vineyards
Joseph Phelps Vineyards has long
produced world-class award-winning wines
and we take special pride in our two Cabernet
Sauvignon based wines: our flagship wine
Insignia and the Backus Vineyard Cabernet
Sauvignon. These two wines represent opposite ends of the spectrum in approaches to
winemaking: the art of blending vineyards
and varietals versus a single-vineyard
approach. Insignia represents the art of the
blend: the best blend from what our estate
vineyards located throughout Napa Valley can
produce and the best blend of available estate
Bordeaux varietals in any given vintage.
Backus Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon represents the best of what a single vineyard can
produce year after year, and from a very
unique terroir.
When Joe Phelps envisioned the term
“Insignia,” it was to represent the finest lots of
Bordeaux grape varietals available from each
vintage. Originally sourced from the best
grower fruit, beginning with the 1990 vintage
Insignia was produced primarily from estategrown grapes in the Stags Leap District and
Rutherford Bench – two of the most desirable
sources for Cabernet Sauvignon in California.
30
Since the 2004 vintage, Insignia has been
crafted entirely from Estate Vineyards.
In its 35 years of existence, Insignia has
consistently ranked among the top wines in
California, if not the world. Our 2007
Insignia, released September 1, 2010,
received 98 points from Robert Parker, Jr.’s
Wine Advocate, 96 points from Wine Spectator, 94 points from Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar, 94 points from Wine
Enthusiast, 95 points from James Suckling
and 96 points from Connoisseur’s Guide to
California Wine.
Since the release of the first Insignia
vintage in 1974, it has received 90 points or
greater in every vintage but two. And since
1990, Insignia has been rated 90 points or
higher every year by both Wine Spectator and
Robert Parker, Jr.’s The Wine Advocate. In
fact, The Wine Spectator has named Insignia
its #1 Wine of the Year (2002 vintage), #3
Wine of the Year (1994 vintage), and #5 Wine
of the Year (1997 vintage) and it has been
designated a Cellar Selection five times in
addition to the “Top 100” awards.
Located on the southeastern corner of
Silverado Trail and Oakville Cross Road, the
Backus Vineyard has long been known for its
iron-rich, steeply-terraced hillside soil and
exceptional fruit. A picturesque, copperroofed stone smokehouse sits in the midst of
the vineyard and is visible from the Silverado
Trail.
In December of 1996, after having held a
long-term lease on the property since 1977,
Joseph Phelps Vineyards purchased the entire
45-acre parcel. Subsequent development
increased plantings to 21.5 acres and all of the
work was done by hand. No tractors, trucks
or ATVs were utilized in the preparing and
planting of the vineyard. Workers used
shovels and picks, pounded stakes by hand
and pick-axed through rock to lay and bury
irrigation lines, end posts and trellis wiring.
Backus Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is
distinctive for producing flavors and aromas
of dark chocolate, black fruit, graphite and
minerals, followed by lush, sweet and lengthy
tannins. The 2007 Backus Vineyard Cabernet
Sauvignon was rated 97 points from Robert
Parker, Jr.’s The Wine Advocate, 96 points by
James Suckling, 97 points and “Wine of the
Year” from Connoisseur’s Guide to California
Wine, 95 points from Wine Enthusiast and
96 points from Wine Spectator. This limited
production wine is available exclusively
through our hospitality guest center.
Tastings and Seminars
at Joseph Phelps Vineyards
We offer a total of five different seminars,
which are semi-private tastings, hosted in the
Great Hall by appointment only. These tastings include a sampling of current releases
and our flagship wine, Insignia.
Seminar-style tastings are held weekdays
at 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. and weekends at
11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Each of these popular
tastings embraces a wide variety of topics
geared to both the novice and those with
broader knowledge. All are semi-private
(limited to 12 guests) and last 90 minutes.
Cost is $40 per person for all seminars except
the Insignia Blending and Single Vineyard
Cabernet Seminars which are $60 per person.
Insignia Blending Seminar: Play winemaker for the day in our
Insignia Blending Seminar. Experiment with blending Insignia
components, then taste and compare your blend with our current
vintage. Note: this seminar is $60 per person.
Single Vineyard Cabernets: Explore the notion that location, soil
and climate will help determine the taste of the wine. In this seminar,
we will taste Cabernet Sauvignon from different estate vineyards and
compare Insignia which is produced from six estate vineyards with the
single vineyard Backus Cabernet Sauvignon from our Oakville estate
vineyard. Note: this seminar is $60 per person.
Barrel Seminar: Explore winemaking in general and the specific
place that the barrel holds in the development of a wine. In addition
to the current releases, taste four barrel samples of our Napa Valley
Cabernet Sauvignon and experience twelve different aromas found in
wines that are aged in barrels.
Wine Aroma Challenge: Identify six white and six red wine
aromas in the “Aroma Identity” challenge and sharpen your ability to
identify aromas in wine.
Freestone and Phelps: Explore the history of Joseph Phelps Vineyards and how its commitment to excellence led to the establishment
of Freestone Vineyards, located in the Sonoma Coast AVA.
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Freestone will be followed by Napa
Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and our flagship wine, Insignia.
Terrace Tastings: We offer a casual tasting throughout the day
scheduled on the half hour starting at 10 a.m. “Terrace Tastings” are a
more relaxed tasting of six current release wines, including our flagship wine, Insignia. The last “Terrace Tasting” available is 3:30 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, and 2:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. These
tastings are offered daily and the cost is $25 per person.
We welcome the opportunity to host you at the winery. Please call the
Guest Center directly at 800-707-5789 or (707) 967-3720 to make your
reservation or visit our website at www.josephphelps.com.

Tasting Room of the Week:
Ehlers Estate
by Michelle J. Baker
Make a plan this month to visit Ehlers
Estate, where luscious handmade chocolates
are sharing the big stage with the winery’s rich
and delicious estate red wines in their annual
“Perfectly Paired Wine and Chocolate” event.
Ehlers Estate’s is honoring this classic
match all month long, and to partake you just
need to give the winery a call to set up an
appointment. You’ll swoon over the pairings,
which include the Ehlers Estate Cabernet
Franc with Woodhouse Thai Ginger; the
Ehlers Estate Cabernet Sauvignon “1886”
with Woodhouse Honey Chocolate, and the
Ehlers Estate Merlot with Woodhouse Wild
Cherry Chocolate.
It’s a natural to celebrate these two hearthealthy palate pleasers at Ehlers Estate, a
winery whose entire profits go to the Leduqc
Foundation, a highly regarded, not-for-profit
foundation dedicated to funding international cardiovascular research.
Jean and Sylviane Leducq first purchased
the historic Ehlers Vineyard in 1985. By
2001, the Leducqs had added some neighboring vineyard parcels to create an estate of
more than 40 acres.
32
Today the estate vineyards are planted to
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc,
Petit Verdot and Sauvignon Blanc.
The Ehlers Estate wines are all estategrown – the winery doesn’t buy or sell grapes.
It’s also farmed organically and biodynamically, with a full-time, year-round staff of
about 12 charged with shepherding the fruit
from vine to bottle. Ehlers Estate’s impressive
wines are made under the meticulous eye of
Kevin Morrisey, whose resume includes stints
at Château Pétrus, the legendary bordeaux
house in Pomerol, as well as Stags’ Leap
Winery and Etude.
The heart of the estate is Bernard Ehlers
original stone winery, circa 1886, which now
serves as tasting-central for Ehlers Estate. A
recent makeover in the tasting room has
made the place positively cushy, with three
separate “living rooms” where visitors can sit
and relax, plus two handcrafted farmhouse
tables that can accommodate groups up to
12.
In addition to private wine tastings at
Ehlers Estate, currently there are also wine
and food pairings available and a tour of the
estate, organic and biodynamic vineyards,
complete with a stop in the barrel room. Here
you can taste the future of Ehlers Estate with
a barrel sample then end with a sit down wine
and Woodhouse Chocolate pairing that
includes the very popular and small production 2008 Cabernet Franc!
To make a reservation for “Perfectly Paired
Wine and Chocolate,” which includes a tour
of the beautiful estate, barrel tasting and a
small gift box of chocolates, call Ehlers Estate
at (707) 963-5972.

Even owner Ronda Schaer could not have
envisioned that her affection for the little
village of Yountville would someday blossom
into a full-blown love affair. “This is a town
that you can get your arms around.” Twenty
years ago she did just that. With the opening
of her now famous art gallery, RAS Galleries,
Ronda has embraced her community and
graced it with one of its most successful and
admired businesses.
It was her passion for art, and glass in
particular, that moved Ms. Schaer to open a
gallery. “I have always been drawn to glass.”
But it was the work of American glass artists
that really captured her heart. Representing
more than two hundred American artists, the
gallery has become one of the premiere
venues in which to experience the drama,
imagery and vision of this artistic medium.
The gallery also features the work of some
extremely gifted fine artists, with original oil
paintings from artists throughout California
and the Pacific Northwest, as well as the

Plan for a Nature Break at Old Faithful Geyer
by Christine Piccin
When wine touring has tired you out, take a short detour from
Highway 29 beneath the lofty peak of Mt. St. Helena, for a nature
break at Old Faithful Geyser of California.
Centered in a small, grass-hemmed pond, the geyser begins
coughing puffs of steam which dissolve into the warm afternoon air.
Then it starts to gurgle and bubble like a witch’s cauldron. Suddenly
it sends up a few spurts three or four feet high. After a few minutes
of playful squirting, it erupts. It’s as if someone has opened a fire
hydrant straight into the sky. A column of 350-degree hot water
spouts from the rocky source, backlit by the sun. As it peaks, the
steaming water fans out into miniscule droplets that fall like shimmering diamond dust then disappears, leaving the pond as calm and
serene as it was before the show began.
Hot springs are numerous but there are only a handful of geysers
in the world that can be relied on to erupt predictably and repeatedly. Old Faithful Geyser of California is one of those.
A series of panels plus a video room explain the mysteries of California’s Old Faithful. The geyser is located at 1299 Tubbs Lane off
Hwy. 29 in Calistoga and is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, call (707) 942-6463 or visit www.oldfaithfulgeyser.com.

5th Annual California’s Artisan Cheese Festival
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

J. Keverson Winery in Healdsburg is
launching their 2007 Blanc de Noirs
Sparkling Wine on Saturday February 12
from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., with an appetizer and
sparkling wine event to raise money for breast
cancer.
The entire $25 ticket price for the
“Bubbles for Boobies” event and the proceeds
from all bottles of Transitions, their 2007
Blanc de Noirs Sparkling Wine, will be
donated by the winery to the Breast Cancer
Society.
“Our task was to find a name for our ’07
sparkling wine,” Diane Hazlewood said. “For
several reasons we gravitated to “Transition.”
Our youngest child was off to college and we
were certainly in a time of transition. During
the label design my sisters-in-law experienced the pain of losing her younger sister to
breast cancer, we decided to make our label
pink and to give the profits from the sale of
each bottle to The Breast Cancer Society.”
The winery has also created pink and
black “Bubbles for Boobies” T-shirts and caps
that are sold online with proceeds also going
to the fight breast cancer.
The pink bottle label and fundraiser fit
well with the sparkling wine which features
pleasing aromas of strawberries, raspberries,
and honey. The Blanc de Noirs has a bright
crispness that complements its delicate
flavors of strawberry, cherry and green apple.
“Bubbles for Boobies” is limited to 75
guests and reservations can be made online
at www.JKeverson.com. More information
about Transition, the February fundraiser or
J. Keverson Winery is available online and
by calling the tasting room at (707) 4843083 or visiting at 53 Front Street in Healdsburg.
Sausal Winery’s New Old Vine Zinfandel
Well new vintage that is.
Sausal Winery, located in the heart of
Alexander Valley, has been bottling
Zinfandel from some of the valley’s oldest
vines since 1973. What started as one estate
at Old Vine Zinfandel has now evolved into
three; each representing the age of the vines
from which they are produced.
Presidents Day Weekend, Sausal Winery
will release the 2008 vintage of their Family
Old Vine Zinfandel. This wine is produced
from vines that average 50 years of age.
These are the youngest of Sausal’s estate
Zinfandel vines. While you are there, try this
wine alongside their other estate Zinfandels:
Sausal Private Reserve Zinfandel from 90
year old vines and Sausal Century Vines
Zinfandel from vines over 130 years old.
And don’t miss the 2006 Sausal Cabernet
Sauvignon also making its debut Presidents
Day weekend.
Sausal Winery is located at 7370
Sausal Winery’s Presidents Day Release
February 19-21, 10am -4pm
Food & Wine Specials
Highway 128, Healdsburg. Follow Highway
128 along the eastern edge of the Alexander
Valley to the winery, then down the winery’s
driveway to a rustic, barn-red wooden
building with a trellised porch that houses
the tasting room. Simple, like the winery, the
tasting room is not a mini-mall teeming with
wine country merchandise. There is only
some nice logo clothing and some sleeping
and scratching stations that exist for the
pleasure of the two winery cats, Sophie and
Gypsie, who wander in and out as the mood
takes them. What you’re there for is a treasure trove of old-vine-Zinfandels, plus some
Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, all
from the estate-owned vineyard that
surround the winery. All the Zinfandels are
dry-farmed for added fruit intensity and the
oldest vines are head trained in the traditional manner, as you would expect.
Picnickers are welcome to enjoy themselves on a trellised patio shaded by luscious
grape vines, a traditional Italian touch. The
winery is located just a few miles east of the
charming town of Healdsburg.
For more information, call 1-800-5002285.

Meadowcroft Wines’ “Songwriters in Sonoma” Series
The second show in the newly inaugurated series Adam Traum
“Songwriters In Sonoma” is set for Thursday,
February 17 at 7 p.m. in the Meadowcroft Wines
(www.meadowcroftwines.com) tasting room at
23574 Arnold Drive/Highwayy 121 at Cornerstone
Sonoma. The show will feature singer-songwriters
Glenn Carter, Jeff Falconer and Adam Traum who
will be performing in-the-round. Tickets are $10 per
person and include a glass of wine. Reservations for
the show may be made by calling the tasting room
at (707) 934-4090. The Songwriters In Sonoma
series is booked and hosted by Gerard Serafini,
owner of Sonoma Valley Music Store. This is a 21and-over show.
“Our first show was a huge success and we are
looking forward to this series becoming the anchor of all of our future
music endeavors,” said Tom Meadowcroft, owner and winemaker of
Meadowcroft Wines. “As the saying goes, ‘it all begins with a song,’
which is why we wanted to begin our musical journey with a songwriter series.”
The inspiration behind many of the songs on British singer-songwriter Glenn Carter’s recent album “Redwood Road” came after
meeting and eventually marrying his new Californian wife, Pamela.
Songs about life, love, failure, joy and humor are what makes this
eclectic troubadour a must see performer. Johnny Cash, the Beatles,
Sting, John Mellencamp and James Taylor are a few of the influences
that have helped Glen hone his songwriting craft.
Singer-songwriter Jeff Falconer ‘s hope is to give each audience a
full spectrum experience, acknowledging our human predicament,
but at the same time highlighting our remarkable ability to self-correct
by embracing our imperfections and cutting ourselves and each other
some slack! Falconer, who played his first gig at age eight at the
Mendocino County Fair, has released three solo CD’s as well as a
fourth release with his acoustic duo, Jaydub and Dino.
Adam Traum grew up in a musical family. His father, Happy
Traum, a mainstay of the Greenwich Village folk scene, turned Adam
on to blues, bluegrass and folk styles. His present-day influences
include Ry Cooder, Taj Mahal, John Hiatt, Steve Earle and Mississippi
John Hurt. He has three instructional DVD guitar lessons on Home-
Enoteca
Sonoma
spun Tapes, and his CD, “Meant To Be,” celebrates
his diversity highlighting songwriting, which incorporates story-driven songs, humor and catchy guitar
riffs.
Meadowcroft Wines includes the Meadowcroft,
Magito and Thomas Henry labels. Winemaker Tom
Meadowcroft also makes the wines for the Foyt
Family Wines (www.foytfamilywines.com). There
are presently 16 wines being poured at the tasting
room including the just released 2008 Meadowcroft
Sangiovese, the 2008 Meadowcroft Zinfandel and the
2008 Thomas Henry Zinfandel. The tasting room is
part of the Cornerstone Sonoma (www.cornerstonesonoma.com) complex that features 22 worldclass gardens, a gourmet café, art galleries and cutting
edge design shops all set among acres of vineyards.
Meadowcroft Wines is open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The
venue is available for private parties, private tastings, wine dinners
and other events. 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) 9344090.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | MENDOCINO/LAKE COUNTIES
Claudia Springs Welcomes Two Winemakers from Michigan
The Anderson Valley Winegrowers Association will be hosting
the 6th annual International Alsace Varietals Festival on February
12th and 13th. Winemakers from around the world will be on hand
pouring Alsatian varietals including Riesling, Gewurztraminer,
Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Muscat. Claudia Springs Winery,
located at mile marker 16 on scenic Highway 128, near the town of
Navarro has invited two award-winning Michigan wineries to pour
at a very special open house on Sunday, February 13th from 11 a.m.
to 5 p.m.
Sean O’Keefe, Chateau Grand Traverse, and Spencer Stegenga,
Bowers Harbor Vineyards, will join Claudia Springs winemaker Bob
Klindt for a day of great wines and food. “We are honored to have two
of my favorite winemakers join us. It will be a great way for folks to
try different expressions of the same grapes we have grown here in
the Anderson Valley for years.”
Claudia Springs Winery Chef François de Mélogue will prepare
traditional Alsatian dishes like Choucroute Garni and Flammenkuche
and innovative Asian dishes designed to dazzle your taste buds. Chef
de Mélogue said “My grandmother was from Alsace, the region in
France that has been parts of both Germany and France over the last
few centuries. An off dry white from Alsace goes exceptionally well
with the salty tangy sauerkraut in Choucroute.”
Sean will be pouring his 2009 Ship of Fools Pinot Blanc/Pinot
Gris/Noir blend, 2008 Lot 49 Riesling, 2008 Pinot Noir Vin Gris and
2009 Gruner Veltiner. Spencer will be pouring his Block II Dry Riesling, and Bob Klindt will be pouring the 2009 Klindt Estate Pinot, his
double gold winning Viognier from Lolonis Vineyard fruit, several
Mendocino Zinfandels and a brand new red field blend called
Vittorio’s Secret. “Early Italian immigrants were pioneers of the California Wine Industry. Their favorite grape was Zinfandel, which
found its way from Croatia via Italy to California. They recognized
that Zinfandel could often be enhanced with small amounts of
compatible varietals, and in their wisdom, interplanted them with the
Zinfandel. Carrignane, Petite Sirah, Grenache, Alicante and Mataro
were among the favorites.
When Vittorio Testa planted his vineyard in Calpella more than 50
years ago he followed this tradition. Amidst the dominate Zinfandel,
he planted Carrignane and Petite Sirah. However a scattering of
Grenache and Barbera has also been identified. Who knows what
other secrets Vittorio’s Vineyard may hold.”
The open house will occur on February 13th, from 11 a.m. to 5
p.m. The winemakers will be on hand and delighted to answer any
questions you may have. The event is open to the public and there
will be a $5 fee that includes an engraved wine glass used for tasting
all the wines. Claudia Springs Winery will be offering special one-day
discounts, barrel samples and more to those attending.
Chateau Grand Traverse is owned and operated by the O’Keefe
family (Ed and his two sons, Eddie and Sean). The winery operation
is a unique blend of talents – as diverse as the characteristics of their
internationally award-winning family of Riesling and other white
wine varietals. In 2010, the winery produced some 95,000 cases of
wine from 120 acres, while purchasing another 60 acres of grapes
from other growers on Old Mission Peninsula. The winery produces
three brands of products including Chateau Grand Traverse, Grand
Traverse Select and Traverse Bay Winery. It is the second largest
winery in Michigan and often noted as being the largest Riesling wine
producer east of the Mississippi.
Bowers Harbor Vineyards is a family run winery located out in the
city of Traverse City out on Old Mission Peninsula which is an American Vitacultural Area or AVA which is recognized throughout the
world as a premium grape growing appellation.
Claudia Springs Winery was founded in 1989 by Bob and Claudia
Klindt in the picturesque Anderson Valley of Mendocino County,
California. Bob started in 1971 as a home winemaker crafting award
winning fruit wines before eventually making grape wines and
purchasing Mila Handley’s house in Philo. Claudia Springs wines are
made exclusively from Mendocino County vineyards with special
emphasis on Anderson Valley Appellation grapes. They produce
estate Pinot Noirs and Pinot Gris from vines planted by Bob and
Claudia and award-winning single vineyard designated and proprietary blended Zinfandels and a limited production Viognier from
premium family run vineyards in the Redwood Valley and Mendocino Ridge (1200 feet above the Pacific Ocean) Appellations.

LIVERMORE | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Barrel Tasting Weekend at Livermore Valley Wineries
Livermore Valley Winegrowers Host
Third Annual Barrel Tasting Weekend March 19-20
More than 30 Livermore Valley wineries will offer samples of
wines still in development – direct from their barrels – during the
region’s third annual Barrel Tasting Weekend. Guests with special
event wristbands and official tasting glasses will receive at least one
barrel sample at each participating winery. Many winemakers will be
present to personally pour and discuss their young wines and offer
delicious pairings with gourmet appetizers, artisan cheeses, chocolate
and nuts.
Barrel tasting provides wine enthusiasts of all experience levels
with a fun “snapshot” of how wine evolves—from grape to glass.
Guests will have the opportunity to pre-purchase some of the barrel
wines at a discount, before they are bottled and released to the public
(a practice known as buying “futures”). More than a dozen different
varietals, including the rare Primitivo and Alicante Bouschet and
ever-popular Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, will be offered
for tasting across the region.
Barrel Tasting Weekend takes place Saturday, March 19 and
Sunday, March 20, from noon to 4:30 p.m. each day at more than 30
participating Livermore Valley wineries located in the East Bay Area
of Northern California (less than one hour from San Francisco)
Cost for the event is $30 per person when purchased online at
www.LVwine.org by March 18. $35 per person at any participating
winery during the event. Price includes a take home glass with the
Livermore Valley Wine Country Logo, two days of barrel tasting at
each participating winery on Saturday and Sunday, special activities
and wine discounts, and a Barrel Tasting Weekend map which
includes all wineries that are participating in the Barrel Tasting
weekend.

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.”

Rain Forest Weekends at
Roaring Camp Railroad
Learn about California’s own rain forest … its forests of coastal
redwoods. Roaring Camp is offering weekend excursions of the Rain
Forest by rail January 1 to March 27.
Located in the Santa Cruz Mountains just a few miles from the
ocean, the forest flourishes in moderate temperatures and a year-round
water supply provided by frequent Pacific systems and dense fog.
Roaring Camp CEO Georgiana Clark says, “In winter, California’s
rain forest is most dramatic. Storms whip branches; foliage glistens; and
the air is filled with the aroma of California bay laurel and tanbark oak.”
As guests ride at branch level through a virgin forest by steam train,
fascinating information about the California coastal redwoods and
forest eco-system is revealed.
Trains operate Saturdays and Sundays at 12:30 pm through March
27th. Tickets are $24 adult, $17 child (2-12 years). Parking is $8.
Roaring Camp is in Felton, six miles north of Santa Cruz. For information and tickets, call (831) 335-4484 or visit the website at

MONTEREY/CENTRAL COAST | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Tasting Room
of the Week:
Poetic Cellars
by Laura Ness
Sometimes, instead of throwing caution to
the wind, you need to throw your GPS out the
window and just trust the directions you’ll
find on a winery’s website. This is one of those
cases. It will serve you ill to trust the theoretical vagueness of misguided engineers at
takeout-cluttered desks somewhere in Mountain View.
So, before hitting the road, download the
new iPhone app for the Santa Cruz Mountains
wineries, or hit the Poetic Cellars website, to
get the directions to this remarkably easy to
find little oasis in the middle of blessedly
untouched territory in the hills above Santa
Cruz. Literally, it is only 11 minutes off
Highway 17 from the Vine Hill exit. It only
feels like forever. You’ll breathe a sigh of
contented relief as you head down the
driveway to Poetic Cellars: the scenery is
lovely, serene and there is an unmistakable
sense of finally having reached a place that is
uniquely like no other.
Welcome to the place where all the wine is
bottled poetry, and each of the bottles bears
its own unique poem inspired both by the
wine inside and the woman who makes
them. Katy Lovell has been making wine for
16 years, and enjoys every aspect of the
process from picking the grapes to creating
the labels for the bottles. Her partner, Joseph
Naegele, an attorney by trade, pens poetry
for each varietal or blend, matching prose to
62
the spirit of the grape.
With eight varieties grown in her Livermore vineyard, and three additionally sourced
from local Santa Cruz Mountains vineyards,
Katy makes everything from fruit-driven
Chardonnay and Pinot, to rich, dense Syrah
and Petite Sirah. Her signature varietal is her
Mourvedre: intriguingly smoky and sexy, but
her blends are really growing her fan base.
The well-decorated winery tasting room
offers many options for browsing for art, winerelated gifts and unique food items, including
locally sourced Tabitha’s Appropriate Jams and
B&R Farms apricot products. Open weekends from noon to 5pm and by appointment,
the spacious tasting room and sunny courtyard beckons with plenty of tables for relaxed,
unhurried tastings.
You’re likely to meet either Katy herself,
Joseph or Katy’s son, Zach, who helps her with
forklifting of barrels, topping off, bottling
labeling and so forth. Son Brett and daughter
Julie also pitch in to help Mom with the neverending set of tasks, including making cute
cork reindeer at Christmas. Creativity runs
deep in this family: Katy’s previous careers
include concert flutist and fiber artist, a talent
she shares with her mother.
In fact, for April Passport in the Santa Cruz
Mountains, two generations of Lovell’s,
including Katy’s mom, will be exhibiting their
fiber crafts.
When not weaving fiber, Katy enjoys
weaving wine blends, like a poet loves
Katy Lovell
polishing off each participle to create the
perfect wordplay on the page and in your
mind’s ear. The 2007 Poetic Cellars “Mantra,”
a delicious blend of 45% Mourvedre, 45%
Syrah and 10% Sangiovese, is a smooth,
multi-layered experience of pure pleasure,
balancing the racy, wild red fruits of the
Mourvedre with the depth and richness of the
Syrah. Spritely Sangiovese adds charming
cherries and buttery smooth tannins to create
a Mantra worth repeating over and over. This
may become your favorite Rhone-style wine
ever!
Another well-woven gem is the 2007
Poetic Cellars “Ballad” Bordeaux Blend, equal
parts of cassis and cigar-laden Cabernet Sauvignon, and smooth, dark chocolate Merlot,
plus 10% Cabernet Franc, which provides the
perfect balance of power. Low in alcohol, this
restrained, elegant wine has lovely notes of
lavender, dark cassis, caraway, cedar and
tarragon, layered with cured Westphalian
ham, dark chocolate and intriguing hints of
spicy green olives.
Katy will be releasing her newest blend,
“Serenade,” for the winery’s two-year anniversary on Valentine’s Day. Come visit and taste
bottled poetry for yourself.

of micro-climates and dramatic mountain terrain that define the
region. The marine influence and distinctive soils create intensely
concentrated fruit that yields some of the most complex and ageworthy Pinot Noir in the world. There are six sub-area's in this winegrowing appellation – each bearing their own characteristics in their
wine.
Sunday, March 27, from 2 to 5 p.m. the Grand Cruz Tasting at
Villa Ragusa in Old Town in Campbell will showcase more than 60
Pinot Noirs paired with gourmet hors d’oeuvres from some of the
region’s best restaurants. Tickets are $55 in advance, $65 at the door.
Saturday, March 26, Pathway to Pinot Paradise offers a selfguided tour of the region’s Pinot-producing wineries. Barrel tasting,
library wines and special offerings by participating wineries will be
available. Visitors can enjoy exploring the incredible mountain terrain
and coastal roads as they discover the delightful world of the Santa
Cruz Mountains. Tickets are $25.
Technical Sessions will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. the 27th at
Villa Ragusa with presentations by wine experts on the challenges of
growing and producing Pinot Noir in the region. Tickets are $55,
reservations are required.
Special Pinot Paradise V.I.P. Packages will offer a guided “tour” in
a small group format at Villa Ragusa during a private pre-event tasting
at 1 p.m. followed by the Grand Cruz Tasting. Participants will learn
in detail about the Santa Cruz Mountains and the distinct flavor
profiles of each sub-region as they taste and discuss with winemakers
and/or representatives from the wineries. Cost is $75 and includes the
Grand Cruz tasting.
