INTELLIGENCE fOR THE WINE CONSUMER
by Len Napolitano
What is organic wine?
Someone I know, who has not consumed red wine in years
because it gave her headaches, has joyfully started drinking red wine
once again. The cure, she said, was organic wine. But when she
explained to me that the wine contained no sulfites, and, thus, was
the reason for her pain-free sipping, I had to politely correct her.
Organic wines technically still contain some sulfites, however, at
much lower levels than non-organic wines. In organic wine, there
are no additional sulfites beyond what occurs naturally during
normal fermentation of grapes. However, in the vast majority of
wines, more sulfites are added because they are necessary to preserve
the flavor and integrity of the wine throughout its shelf life. But there
was still another correction that I had to make after I read the label
of the bottle she was talking about. It turned out that the wine was
not really 100% organic, but instead made from organically grown
grapes. These are two very distinct categories.
Organic wine certification requires years of compliance with
certain standards in growing and making wine. Then an
independent certifying organization audits and qualifies a vineyard
and winery on its soil management, record keeping and other
ecologically friendly practices that meet strict standards set by the
US Department of Agriculture. For example, the producer must not
use chemicals in the vineyard, such as herbicides, fungicides and
pesticides and, most importantly, must not introduce additional
sulfites into the winemaking process.
Therefore, a wine label is permitted to state that the bottle
contains organic wine if two conditions are met: the wine’s grapes
were grown organically and the total amount of sulfites is below the
government limit. On the other hand, if grapes were grown
10
organically, but the level of combined sulfites, both naturally
occurring and added, are higher than government limits, the label is
only permitted to state that the wine was made from organically
grown grapes, if the producer chooses to say so at all. (It is not a
requirement to mention whether grapes were grown organically or
not.) Wine made from organically grown grapes is not exactly the
same as organic wine but it might be enough to make a difference to
some people who have allergies.
Unless a doctor is consulted, it is impossible to know the true
reason for one wine being a “headache” wine and another being a
“headache-free” wine. But trying organic wines, or at least wine
made from organically grown grapes, can be a step toward
minimizing, and maybe avoiding side effects that come from
drinking wine. Just remember that the shelf life is limited with
100% organic wines, so it is not recommended that you buy these
wines for long-term aging in your home wine cellar. Also bear in
mind that a winery is free to practice organic farming methods
without acquiring certification, or even mentioning it on the wine’s
label.
If you are in search of organic wine or wine made from
organically grown grapes, feel free to investigate your favorite wine
brands to see if any of their vineyards are farmed organically and
what specific wines are made using those vineyards.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
The William Hill Estate Winery’s
Vineyard Experience Mobile App
BY ALEXANDRA CHARSLEY
WILLIAM HILL ESTATE WINERY
1761 Atlas Peak Road Napa, CA 94558
(707) 224-4477 | www.williamhillestate.com

Traveling on the back road of Napa has its advantages; a relaxed atmosphere, amazing views
and elegant wine, and William Hill Estate Winery features all three which make them an ideal
location for your next visit. They have also created one of the industry’s first interactive,
downloadable tours, giving wine connoisseurs behind-the-scenes access to its vineyard. The
William Hill Estate Vineyard Experience Mobile App allows guests an unprecedented look at
what goes into crafting an exceptional wine. The free app, available for download from the Apple
App Store and the Google Play Store, lets winery guests enjoy a self-guided audio tour through
William Hill Estate’s majestic estate vineyard. Even if you don’t have a smartphone, you will still
be able to experience the tour on one of their available iPod Touch devices.
The app creates an interactive journey, beginning in the William Hill Estate Tasting Room,
where guests can enjoy a sip of the winery’s acclaimed Napa Valley Chardonnay. From there, the
tour heads deep into the vineyard for a first-hand look at the estate’s red Bordeaux varietals,
where visitors can touch the soil and explore the grapevines up close. Guests will learn about the
history and viticulture of William Hill Estate and the remarkable growing conditions that make
the Silverado Bench unique. The app allows visitors to peruse a map of the estate, take photos in
the vineyard, visit William Hill Estate’s online store, and share their experiences on Facebook and
Twitter. The tour culminates with a tasting of some of William Hill Estate’s best wines.
William Hill Estate Winery sits between the Atlas Peak Mountains and the Napa Valley floor
in this pocket called the Silverado Bench. In 1978 William Hill Estate saw the great potential of
the Silverado Bench and developed his winery. A confluence of characteristics makes this 140acre estate an ideal vineyard. Set on a benchland off the valley floor the volcanic soil along with
the size and vigor of the vines means William Hill Estate is more like a mountaintop vineyard.
These elements translate to luxurious world-class Bordeaux wines. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot,
Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec varietals are bottled individually, and are also blended
into a rich, distinctive Estate Meritage. Winemaker Ralf Holdenried is making modern wines
that speak to this unique terroir. “We are excited to offer our visitors a one-of-a-kind look at our
unique property on the Silverado
Bench. The William Hill Estate
Vineyard Experience Mobile App
brings guests right into the
vineyard for an engaging
educational experience,” said
Winemaker Ralf Holdenried.
This contemporary
destination winery has
something for everyone and
with The William Hill Estate
Vineyard Experience Mobile
App; they are combining
sophisticated Napa wines with
an interactive, fun and
educational tour. This app is a
great way to update your status
and share your best moments
with friends. Their
appointment only tasting room
is bright, clean and modern
with a focus on Chardonnay.
Their wonderful staff will
educate you about wine and
their winemaking philosophy
in a fun setting. They have a
lovely outdoor patio and
garden area where most tastings
occur when the weather
permits. They even encourage
guests to pack a picnic, the
family and even the dog to
enjoy a fun filled afternoon on
their estate. So, if you are
looking for an intimate and
trendsetting Napa Valley wine
experience that is just off the
beaten path, then you should
head over to William Hill Estate
Winery.
Mark your calendars for their
annual Cellar Sale to be held on
Saturday, September 15. They
will be showcasing some great
prices on their wines. Tours and
tastings are available daily by
appointment from 10 a.m. to
5 p.m. The cost for the walking
tour and wine tasting is $25 per
person. To schedule a visit, call
(707) 265-3024 or email

When Napa Valley is bustling and it’s time for a break, drop by Arger-Martucci
Vineyards where you can enjoy award-winning wines in a relaxing and
unpretentious setting. Located just south of St. Helena, the winery is quaint and
picturesque. The tasting room’s poolside picnic area, complete with an outdoor
gazebo, boasts a beautiful view of the Mayacamas Mountains and offers guests the
ideal atmosphere to taste exceptional wines away from the crowds.
Arger-Martucci is a boutique, family-owned winery that is more than a business
venture between two owners – it is a love and appreciation of making great wine
that is shared by two families – one Greek, the other of Italian descent. Owners
Kosta Arger and Rich Martucci first met and became close friends through a Reno,
NV wine tasting group in the ’80s. At the time, Arger was establishing himself as
an accomplished cardiologist and skilled home winemaker, while Martucci was
working to build the struggling bank he had acquired. Dr. Arger, who learned to
make wine in the ’70s from the legendary Joe Heitz of Heitz Cellars, had always
dreamed of starting a Napa Valley winery. In 1998, both families were looking for
property in the Napa Valley and decided it was the perfect time to partner and
start a winery.
The Arger-Martucci partnership is ideal – Rich manages the financial aspects of
the business, while Kosta handles the winemaking. Still a practicing cardiologist in
Reno, Dr. Arger spends his weekends, holidays and the harvest in Napa Valley.
The winery is known for its Cabernet Sauvignon and its estate reserve,
Bordeaux-style blend, the Odyssey. They produce a handful of other delicious
reds, along with an elegant white blend called the Iliad. Other varietals produced
include Cabernet Franc, Petite Syrah and Dulcinea (dessert wine). All red wines,
with the exception of the Petite Syrah, are estate grown on their mountainside

V. Sattui Winery: An Affordable Destination in Napa Valley
It’s widely believed that a trip to the Napa Valley tends to be
expensive. But V. Sattui Winery in St. Helena has good news for
those looking to enjoy an affordable trip here.
V. Sattui is a very reasonably priced destination located in the
middle of the Napa Valley and attracts wine and food lovers who
wish to enjoy a luxurious wine country experience-even the
budget-conscious … perfect for the entire family.
V. Sattui Winery has a unique wine country narrative with
beautiful picnic grounds, tasting rooms and a marketplace with
cheese shop, deli and gift store. No other winery in the Napa
Valley can make this claim. V. Sattui is a family-owned winery,
founded in 1885, that crafts more than fifty different wines, with
more than a dozen 90+ point rated wines. This year, the winery
was twice named “Winery of the Year,” at The 2012 Winemaker’s
Challenge and The 2012 Monterey Wine Competition.
In the Marketplace, guests are greeted with complimentary
cheese and dipping oil samples. Nearly two hundred cheeses are
featured, including homemade mozzarella, as well as a variety of
hand-carved charcuterie, a selection of unique salads, freshly-baked
breads and gourmet foods specially prepared and house-made daily
by executive chef and Italian native Gerardo Sainato. Along with a
bottle of V. Sattui award-winning wine, a selection of Marketplace
foods makes the perfect “al fresco” meal which can be enjoyed on
picnic tables under centuries-old Valley oaks.
V. Sattui’s stone winery building, underground aging cellars and
museum will transport visitors back in time to the beginning of
this fourth generation winemaking family tradition spanning three
centuries.
Additionally, V. Sattui is:
• family-friendly and dog-friendly
• has a weekend BBQ, with grilled prawns, tri-tip steak, BBQ ribs,
24
Italian sausages, homemade thin-crust pizzas and has a freshpulled mozzarella bar from 11:30 a.m. 3:30 p.m. weekends and
holidays
• is one of only two wineries in the Napa Valley that can host
weddings. And can provide a unique corporate event experience.
Up to 250 guests can be accommodated.
“Most importantly, though, it’s about the wine,” states Winery
President Tom Davies. “Our wines, which are sustainably farmed,
are sold exclusively from the winery. With no outside distribution,
the wines are priced much lower than many brands available in
retail stores.”
V. Sattui Winery is located on a 38-acre vineyard in the center
of the Napa Valley, along Highway 29 about 1½ miles south of
St. Helena at White Lane and is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The Mumm Napa story started with a quest for great New World sparkling wine
production. G.H. Mumm, a renowned French Champagnerie, was one of the first of
the Old World houses to realize the United States had locations where sun, soil and
rain could combine to create spots ready for their style of winegrowing, and Guy
Devaux, with more than forty years of sparkling and still wine production experience,
was given the task of finding the location worthy of the Mumm name.
Monsieur Devaux finally found what he was looking for in the Napa Valley after a
four-year search, and in 1986, Mumm Napa was completed along the Silverado Trail
in the heart of the Rutherford District. The winery was built to allow for wines
produced according to “methode traditionelle,” which includes hand-pruning and
care of the vines, careful hand-harvesting and in-bottle fermentation so each wine has
aged on the yeast, the key to great sparklng wines.
Although Guy Devaux passed away in 1995, his spirit lives on in the winery’s top
bottlings, DVX and Devaux Ranch, as well as in the continuation of traditional
production processes under Winemaker Ludivic Dervin. The winery has been
certified by the Napa Green Winery and Green Land programs, displaying the
attention paid to Devaux’s legacy. Equally, they work with growers to produce fruit
from Carneros and along the Napa River north towards Yountville, aiming for lush
and concentrated flavors combined with crisp acidity. Mumm Napa is, in fact, the
remaining large sparkling house to source their grapes exclusively from the Napa
Valley, continuing Guy Devaux’s belief that Napa is the perfect place for New World
bubbles.
Mumm Napa is well known for its Brut, Rose, Cuvee M, Deveux Ranch, and Blanc

de Blancs bottlings, which display the range of traditional sparkling
styles, as well as its top release, DVX, but it’s only at the winery that
you can gain access to older library bottles of DVX in addition to
special releases of the Santana Brut, DVX Rosé, Sparkling Pinot Noir,
and Demi-Sec, a dessert sparkler; the winery also makes available
still bottlings of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, as well as large- and
small-format bottles of their sparkling wines for those everyday or
special occasions in need of pizzazz.
Of course, if Mumm Napa were only about its wines, it wouldn’t
be the world-renowned wine country experience it is, and the real
secret is to go at “locals’ time,” which is actually in the mornings
before the heat and crowds, when palates are at their sharpest and
the Valley’s best views are in crystal-clear light. Why wouldn’t you
want to “start the day with some bubbles,” as everyone says?
Once you walk down the breezeway and are greeted by a staff
member, everything else is taken care of for you – except for
deciding which of several different tours and tasting experiences you
wish to enjoy. Smaller groups can taste without reservations on the
outside patio or in the glass-enclosed tasting salon. Each gives
access to staff who really care about your visit and presents views not
to be missed. Even more special is the reservations-required Oak
Terrace Tasting, which pairs library wines with fruit and cheese, if
you choose, with leisurely relaxation on the terrace built around an
180-year-old blue oak, protection of which, in keeping with the
Devaux spirit, delayed construction more than nine months in
ensuring no damage to the tree during the build. The resulting line
of sight over the Valley is magnificent.
The winery is quite well known for its Fine Art Photography
Gallery; the Private Collection Gallery houses twenty-seven Ansel
Adams original signed prints on loan from grandson Matthew
Adams, and the Gallery also rotates exhibitions, “Ancient Myths and
Vineyard Light” shows off photographer Janis Miglavs’s color
photographs and illustrations of Africa’s “undiscovered myths” and
stunning vineyard shots. Sparkling wines and fine art: what could
pair better?
Clearly, at year twenty-six, Mumm Napa and its staff can be quite
proud. Not only have they carried on the discerning eye and
demand for highest quality of Guy Devaux, they have continued to
push for even greater hospitality and enjoyment of the Valley’s
bounty. Monsieur Devaux got it absolutely right. Come see and taste
for yourself why the quest finally ended when he looked out upon
the Valley from the Silverado Trail and knew he had found the place
for sparkling wine in Napa. Enjoy!

Thanksgiving isn’t the only great holiday in November. For food and wine lovers,
November means it’s time for a different fall festival that embodies America’s natural
bounty to an even greater extent. It’s called Vintners’ Holidays at Yosemite National
Park.
Celebrating 31 delicious years in 2012, Vintners’ Holidays brings authentic
vintners – not sales reps – together with Yosemite’s guests, and the result is a top
shelf festival of good times and great wines. What’s even more special about the event
is that all the action takes place inside the legendary Four Diamond Ahwahnee hotel
in the heart of Yosemite Valley.
The idea for Vintners’ Holidays was inspired by California’s plentiful vineyards
and the winemakers who tend to them with self-sacrificing devotion. Guests choose
from eight sessions that run from November 4 to December 6 and are treated to an
intimate welcome reception with the session’s vintners, a series of wine-tasting
seminars and a divine five-course gala dinner. Executive Chef Percy Whatley and the
Ahwahnee Culinary Team design the custom gala menu to pair perfectly with the
sessions’ featured wines. So, not only is the atmosphere stunning, but the flavors are
equally world class.
With Yosemite’s fall colors as a backdrop, each year this event attracts more than
30 talented winemakers who are crafting some of California’s finest wines. You’ll find
iconic labels such as Silver Oak and Rombauer sprinkled throughout the sessions.
Another fine example, the first session of 2012 (November 4-6) features wines from
Simi Winery, who’ve been winemaking in Alexander Valley since 1876, and Halleck
Vineyards, who recently received a 100-point rating for their 2009 Estate Grown
Pinot.
The second session (November 7-8) features the region’s female visionaries. As
such, it’s appropriately titled the “Goddesses of the Grape.” Amelia Ceja from Ceja
Continued
Vineyards is back by popular demand. It’s no wonder that she was
named “most outstanding female leader, innovator and visionary in
the wine field in the North Bay” by North Bay Business Journal.
Vintners’ Holidays 2012 also features two Master Sommeliers as
event moderators. Not too shabby when you consider there are only
129 masters in the entire world. For example, session three
(November 11-13) will be hosted by Evan Goldstein. This Master
Sommelier penned the famous wine book Perfect Pairings: A Master
Sommelier’s Practical Advice for Partnering Wine with Food. This
novel is noted for its easy-reading tone, its usefulness for all skill
levels, and its transcendental ability to make fine wine and expert
pairing concepts more accessible to the beginning wine-curious
consumer.
Sessions five and six (November 25-27, November 28-29) will be
moderated by Gilles de Chambure, another of the country’s few
Master Sommeliers. Gilles will be on hand to spark lively chats
among the attending winemakers and to host proceedings with his
worldly and nearly unrivaled knowledge of wine. The final two
sessions (December 2-4, December 5-6) feature Dan Berger as
moderator. Dan is widely regarded as one of the best wine writers in
the business and has authored two books: Beyond the Grapes: An
Inside Look at Napa Valley and Beyond the Grapes: An Inside Look at
Sonoma County.
In all, the Vintners’ Holidays experience is a lavish yet tasteful
adventure. You’ll get closer to people that share similar passions.
You’ll get closer to the finest wines that North America can produce.
Plus, you’ll get closer to a wilderness that enchants the imaginations
of all who visit. For more information on Vintners’ Holidays and a

Charles Krug’s ‘Tastings On The Lawn’
Harvest event to Be Held in 1881 Carriage House and
on Great Lawn, Saturday, September 8
Charles Krug Winery and the Peter Mondavi
Family will toast the season’s grape harvest at
their annual Tastings on the Lawn, Saturday,
September 8, from 2 to 5 p.m.
The winery’s signature event, now in its 61st
year, welcomes wine, food and music lovers to the
Charles Krug Winery’s Great Lawn adjacent to the
estate’s historic Carriage House. Founded in
1861, Charles Krug is Napa Valley’s first winery
and represents the birthplace of the Napa Valley
wine industry.
Visitors strolling in the shade of heritage oaks
will enjoy tastings of Charles Krug wines from
Sauvignon Blanc to Cabernet Sauvignon,
including the winery’s ultra-premium Limited
Release and Family Reserve Bordeaux-style wines.
Wines will be paired with a bountiful wine
country feast created by Knickerbockers’ Oak
Avenue Catering, who will also dish up pizza
from the wood-fired oven to showcase just how
easy food and wine pairing can be.
Guests will have the opportunity to sample
aging wines directly from the oak barrels, and to
meet members of three generations of the Peter
Mondavi Family who will be on hand for photos
and to sign bottles.
A harvest tradition, the Peter Mondavi family
will delve into their cellars and open special
library wines for guests in the upstairs ballroom
of the 1881 Carriage House (additional fee
applies). The Carriage House ballroom was
recently restored using dramatically wine-stained
redwood recovered from the winery’s historic
wine tanks; the ballroom boasts a soaring
cathedral ceiling and stunning period-style
chandeliers.
Back by popular demand, the Steely Dan
tribute band, Steely Scam, will perform on the
Great Lawn stage as a backdrop for all of the
festivities, and will likely inspire guests to kick off
their shoes to dance in the soft grass to the beat of
classic rock. Caricature artist Doug Shannon will
be on hand to create portraits on request.
Charles Krug Winery’s Tastings on the Lawn
began in 1951 as an enjoyable way the family
could meet their customers and educate visitors
about fine Napa Valley wine – in the United
States at that time, the wine industry was known
for “jug” wines and not varietal wines. This
Charles Krug tradition is believed to have been
the first wine celebration of its kind, and went on
to inspire myriad other wine country tasting
events.
Lawn chairs, picnic blankets and straw hats
are encouraged for the September 8 event, which
runs from 2 to 5 p.m. Tickets are available online
(admission $50, Wine Club members $25,
Reserve Wine Club members complimentary) at
www.charleskrug.com. Charles Krug Winery is
located at 2800 Main Street, St. Helena.

As you travel St. Helena Highway visiting wineries, I highly
recommend you experience Whitehall Lane Winery and Vineyards, a
contemporary world-class operation surrounded by prime Napa Valley
vineyards in the heart of St. Helena. At Whitehall Lane Winery, you
will appreciate its unique beauty, overlooking the western hills while
tasting award- winning wines and learning progressive winemaking
techniques first hand.
Whitehall Lane Winery was founded in 1979, and was purchased
by the Leonardini Family 1993. Since then, they have updated the
winemaking process, instituting a new barrel-aging program and
continue to nurture and invest in their estate vineyards. The
Leonardini Family owns approximately 125 acres of prime, valleyfloor vineyards, located in the Rutherford, St. Helena and Oak Knoll
districts.
The tasting room holds a simple, trendy and open atmosphere,
welcoming a casual wine tasting affair. The walls showcase black and
white photography of the Napa wine region, while showcasing several
engaging winery, club events and vineyard videos on a large screen tv,
as well as select, Whitehall branded retail products. A friendly and
knowledgeable staff serve over a dozen varietal wines ranging in price
from $18, such as the 2010 Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley to the $115
Library Reserve 2004 Leonardini Cabernet Sauvignon.
Whitehall Lane Winery’s flagship 2009 Napa Valley Cabernet
Sauvignon over delivers at $40 a bottle. This attractive wine is loaded
with floral and bright fruit qualities, nicely balanced with great length
on the finish. The Chronicle recently selected the 2011 Sauvignon
Blanc, as a delicious summer afternoon white wine, known for its
cold, crisp and fruity flavors.
The Leonardini family, winemaker Dean Sylvester and staff pride
themselves on offering their customers elegant wines for the best value
in Napa Valley. General Manager, Mike McLoughlin says, “The Napa
Valley offers many expensive wines, however, for great tasting wines
and value, you shouldn’t miss visiting our tasting room.”
For group tastings and wine club members, one can enjoy a more
intimate experience in the private upstairs V.I.P. Club Room
overlooking panaromic vineyard views Westside hills, to a beautiful
private garden and barrel cellar. Whitehall Lane’s philosophy is clearly
stated on the wall and promises consistency and dedication in their
vineyards and in every glass of wine!
Whitehall Lane is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., offering a Current
Release Menu tasting for $15 per person, which includes four wines to
sample. Winery tours are offered of their vineyard patio, fermentation
cellars, crush pad, barrel room and wine library. Winery-only reserve
tastings are also available by appointment.

Tour the Wine Country in Elegance and Comfort
Spend a day touring the wine country in
the understated elegance and comfort of a
luxury vehicle driven by your own
“professional designated driver.” Your
personal chauffeur’s winery knowledge and
local connections enable you to visit off-thebeaten-path and micro-boutique properties
where special experiences await you.
You'll enjoy full-fledge concierge service
with the promise that your itinerary will be
customized according to your specifications.
Whether you want to emphasize certain varietals or seek out winery
properties that exude a certain ambiance, your tour experience will be
crafted especially for you. Perhaps you’ll experience artisan winemakers
welcoming you into their homes for private tastings and nondescript
dirt driveways that lead to hidden gems that you won’t find advertised
anywhere. Of course, if you have specific wineries that you’re hoping to
visit, your input is welcome to shape your perfect day.
Although you’ll be traveling in first-class style in a luxury vehicle,
you can expect a notable absence of any pretentiousness with a fullservice touring company, who will ensure you a relaxing, comfortable
and educational experience.
For something different, hop aboard an authentic Swiss Army
34
Pinzgauer and get ready for an adventure that allows you to experience
the vineyards from a totally unique vantage point!
You’ll cruise past rows of rolling vineyards in an open-air Jeep which
can accommodate up to nine passengers. You’ll have trouble deciding
which you enjoy more… the ride itself or the stops at three boutique
wineries for tastings. Altogether, a vineyard safari tour promises to be
an unforgettable way to experience wine country.

THomAS KiNKAde GALLerY
BY KARIN ARGOUD
What do you do if you’ve fallen in love with the Napa Valley and want to keep the flavor
of the world-class wines and the feel of the vast vineyards fresh in your mind? Visit The
Thomas Kinkade of Napa Valley Gallery and take a piece of Napa Valley home.
The gallery is the exclusive Napa Valley gallery for the fine art of June Carey. June’s art
depicts the beautiful landscapes of the Napa Valley area and its wineries. June Carey began
painting full time in 1982. On a late summer afternoon escape, traveling to the Mendocino
coast, she discovered the California wine country. “I spend my most inspiring times running
after the perfect light with my camera, in California and Italy, climbing fences, trees, being
chased by dogs and field workers, and getting lost.” Her passion springs forth through the
beauty of the fertile earth.
The Thomas Kinkade of Napa Valley Gallery is a privately owned and operated Fine Art
Gallery. Owners Michael and Kimberly Perata have been avid fine art collectors for over a
decade. “We specialize in finding sold-out and hard to find images at no cost to the
collector,” says Kimberly. Carrol Cox, Executive Gallery Director has specialized in Thomas
Kinkade art work for more than 17 years.
This gallery is the destination among the vineyards. It’s located in the heart of the hip and
happening, historical downtown Napa, right in the middle of world renowned restaurants
and wine tasting bars. Not only will you find the perfect Thomas Kinkade or June Carey
image for you and your family, but you will be treated like family. The gallery is warm and
homey, so it’s easy to picture one of the beautiful works of art on their walls, hanging in your
own home.
The Thomas Kinkade Gallery of Napa Valley also carries the Secret Art of Dr. Seuss – rare
and sold-out editions from his various collections.

CALISTOGA
Calistoga: Napa Valley’s Hotspot for Summer
Wine Country at its Best for Gathering with Family and Friends There’s no better place for fun events in wine country than
Calistoga. Each week during the summer, the town is filled with
concerts, farmers markets,
shopping galas, fairs, winery
events and a long list of other
great things to do. Here’s a
sampling:
Every Thursday through
August from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.,
everyone is invited to free
concerts in Pioneer Park. People
are welcome to bring a picnic
basket or buy a variety of great
food at the event. Of course, beer,
wine and water are also available.
Check out the lineup at
www.calistogavisitors.com.
First Thursday Fashion, Food
& Fun is under way again. This
year, it’s starting at 5 p.m. and
going until 9 p.m. Many
downtown merchants are offering special discounts, and participating
stores will be serving local wines and treats while people stroll, shop
and enjoy Calistoga’s beautiful evenings. Check out
www.facebook.com/1stThursday for more details.
Calistoga’s Farmers Market is a popular hangout every Saturday
morning, 8:30 a.m. to noon through October. Fresh, locally grown
produce, just-picked flowers, ornamental plants, fresh seafood,
gourmet foods, unique crafts and gift items are on display at the
Sharpsteen Museum Plaza on Washington Street. There are also
activities for kids and live music. For more details, see
www.calistogafarmersmarket.org.
Nightlife
Calistoga is a Napa Valley hotspot for nightlife. Every evening
during the summer, there’s live music at a local restaurant or bar. For
example, the Calistoga Inn has live jazz on the patio each evening
starting at 6 p.m., and on Friday and Saturday nights from 9 p.m. to
1 a.m., a live DJ rocks the house for dancing in the pub. Other
venues also have music, and many people like to stroll downtown
and see what catches their ear.
For the complete picture of how summer sizzles in Calistoga,
check out the calendar of events at www.calistogavisitors.com.
A great overnight destination

Gracianna Winery Opens Tasting Room Doors,
Unveils World’s First Vineyard That Wears ‘Jewels’
Gracianna Winery has opened its long-anticipated
tasting room on the lauded Miracle Mile on Westside
Road in Healdsburg. It is one more facet of the
Amador family’s dream to share warmth, graciousness,
gratitude and its award-winning wines with Sonoma
County. It offers some one-of-a-kind features found in
no other winery in the world.
One highlight of the tasting room is its Mercedes
Riverblock vineyard, where the vines “wear” medallions featuring the names of the Amador family and
friends and Medallion Wine Club™ members. The
Medallion program will be part of the offerings of the
Gracianna wine club, which also launched with the opening of the
tasting room.
Another interesting feature is the entrance to the tasting room,
punctuated by a larger than life sculpture of the trademark “gift” logo.
This will be a landmark for visitors to spot the tasting room at 6914
Westside Road.
The intimate, welcoming and uniquely decorated tasting room
complements what Gracianna stands for – wines “for those who have
something to be grateful for.”
“By opening our new by-appointment tasting
room, our family can realize our long-held dream
of being able to host customers, fans, friends,
family and members of the local wine community,”
says Ashley Amador, partner.
Visitors are able to taste an award-winning lineup of wines, dating back to 2008, as well as learn
first hand about the history behind the Amador
family and their Basque matriarch Gracianna
Lasaga (for whom the brand was named) – how
their roots helped plant the seeds for the success
that modern day descendants have enjoyed in
making brilliant, fruit-forward wines for the world to enjoy.
Gracianna’s winemaker is 27-year-old Trini Amador IV, one of
nation’s the youngest up-and-coming winemakers. The business is run
by Trini’s sister, Ashley, and their parents, Trini III and Lisa, are also
involved in the winery.
Ashley says, “People always ask, ‘What does the gift on the label
mean?’ It represents the ‘gift of giving’ and being thankful for the gifts
we are given. We are thankful for our friends and our fans – they have
helped us achieve our success and are always rooting for our future.”

ALderBrooK WiNerY
BY MICHELLE J. BAKER
Got a hankering for Zinfandel? Well then you best zip on by Alderbrook
Winery, down on the southern edge of Dry Creek Valley. Alderbrook is something
of nirvana for Zinfanatics who want as many different Zins as there are days in the
week. Alderbrook offers six different Zinfandels, each with its own personality.
Add to that a snazzy Zin-based blend called “Zinfluence,” and for dessert, a Zin
Port, and you’re set for a whole week of Zin happiness.
Alderbrook also produces one of Sonoma County’s finest Carignane, a Spanish
varietal often used in California as a blending grape. The Alderbrook Carignane is
dark, firm and bold. Ask anyone in Dry Creek who’s got the best Carignane, and
they’ll say Alderbrook. Better yet? It’s a steal at $22.
In 2002, the Terlato family purchased a majority interest in Alderbrook, adding
it to their portfolio of small Napa and Sonoma wineries that includes Chimney
Rock, Rutherford Hill and Sanford Winery in Santa Barbara County.
The Terlatos also have their own wines featured under the Terlato Family
Vineyards label. At Alderbrook, visitors will find the Terlato Family’s Russian River
Valley Pinot Grigio, a crisp, light wine made in the traditional Italian style that is
the perfect foil for oysters, a chilled calamari salad or anything from the sea. You
can also try the Terlato’s Dry Creek Syrah, a dark, bold wine showing many layers
of flavors, is a nice match for anything off the end-of-summer barbecue, red meats
or even medium to strong cheeses.
Alderbrook has a fantastic porch out front where you can enjoy a picnic and a
bottle of one of Alderbrook’s Zins. If you don’t want to lug around your own picnic
all morning, check out the tasting room’s supply of lunch munchies: prosciutto
and other deli meats, a selection of cheeses and crackers, and an assortment of
dips. After your picnic, don’t miss the fabulous array of housewares and wine
country gifts to take home as mementos of your wine country vacation.
Now Alderbrook also offers a daily tour at 11 a.m. This exciting and educational
tour takes visitors through the process of creating fine wine, including a brief
explanation of growing premium grapes and a look inside a boutique winery at the
wine production process. The tour is $15 per person, complimentary for wine club
members (up to four people).

Canyon Winery’s Tasting Room boasts a stunning collection of
small-lot, single-vineyard wines from the cool Russian River Valley.
Lost Canyon’s wine portfolio focuses on Chardonnay, Pinot
Noir and a spectacular cool-climate Syrah. And, just how small is
“small lot?” The largest batch of wine produced by Lost Canyon is
less than 700 cases.
The Lost Canyon label was originally started in Oakland in
1979 but was recently purchased by Clay Fritz, son to the Fritz
Cellar’s wine legacy and owner of Station 1870 Wine Bar. Clay
sought to diversify the Fritz Cellars’ portfolio with the purchase
and immediately branched out to select only the finest, boutique
vineyards for his new artisan label. Today, Lost Canyon wines are
sourced from Russian River vineyards that include famed Saralee
Vineyard, Ruxton Vineyards and Morelli Lane with the largest
block of grapes being approximately five acres.
When you visit – as you must! – be sure to try the 2010
Ruxton Vineyard Chardonnay. This stellar white wine has real
“zing” and is a full-bodied wine with big notes of citrus, white
flowers and a long mineral-driven finish. Fermented 60% in new
French oak barrels, this Chardonnay truly lets the terroir of the
Ruxton Vineyard shine through. Caution, this is not a Chardonnay
for you butter-lovers but rather a fantastically food-friendly wine
that will pair nicely with anything ($35).
While the Lost Canyon pours some of the finer Pinot Noirs in
town (and I truly enjoyed the Morelli Lane Pinot produced
entirely from Dijon and Pommard clones), I would like to strongly
urge you to try the 2008 Trenton Station Syrah. Please don’t get a
tasting pour, be sure to order a glass.
The 2008 Trenton Station Syrah is one of those unique,
memorable Syrahs that truly expresses the primal, sexy, epically
alluring quality of Syrah fruit grown in the cooler microclimate,
just off River Road in Forestville. Syrah’s traditional notes of dusty
Earth and hot spice are refocused and tightened by being grown in
cooler morning fogs, sandy soils and a longer hang-time on the
vine. The Lost Canyon Syrah has a luscious mouth-feel and
superb finish of black fruit, burnished leather and red spices.
I rarely say this, but “Wow” ($35).

Artwork of Michael Holland Returns to
Charles Creek Vineyard Tasting Room & Gallery
The artwork of Sonoma’s own Michael Holland returns to Charles
Creek Vineyard’s Tasting Room and Gallery with a show of new
paintings and prints, scheduled to hang through September 30.
The current show is focusing primarily on works created after the
artist suffered from a debilitating stroke in 2008. Painting now with
his left hand, Mike’s post-2008 works, while clearly exhibiting his
mastery of color, also display a unique sensibility that goes beyond
the physical changes he has experienced since the stroke, seemingly
emanating from a different emotional well-spring.
Specializing in high quality Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon
from great vineyard sources in the Sonoma and Napa Valleys, Charles
New Holland
White Roof
Holland
Creek produces wines that are food friendly, fruit driven, and easily
paired with the courses of a meal. The winery Tasting Room is
conveniently situated in a charming 1890s era storefront on the
historic Sonoma Plaza. In addition wine tasting and sales, the Tasting
Room also provides space to show the work of local artists.
The Charles Creek Vineyard Tasting Room and Gallery, open seven
days a week from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., is located at 483 First St. West,
on the historic Plaza in downtown Sonoma. For more information,

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

Terin Ignozzi and BRYTER Estates Win Top Awards
at the 2012 California State Fair Wine Competition

BRYTER Estates just won some of the
highest awards at the 2012 California
State Fair Wine Competition:

Sauvignon won “Best of California,”
“Best of Napa” – Double Gold, and 98
points making it the #1 Cabernet in
the Land!

Coast won Best of Class – Best of North
Coast AVA, 91 points – Best overall
sparkling wine from the North Coast AVA
• BRYTER Estates “Inspired” 2008 Cabernet
Sauvignon, Single Vineyard won a Silver
Medal
The California State Fair Wine
Competition has been called the “authentic
granddaddy of American wine
competitions.” First held in 1855, it is, by
far, the oldest wine competition in America, and is firmly established
as the most prestigious of American Wine Competitions. According
to industry leaders, it is the most meaningful of the major
competitions restricted to California wines.
In addition, the uniqueness of this competition gives further
credibility to its future within the industry. It is the only competition
that requires all wines to be entered based on the viticultural area
(also known as an appellation, Region or AVA) where the grapes are
grown, not where the winery is located. This year, the CA State Fair
received 2,890 wine entries from 688 participating wineries.
The “Best of California” award is given to only 25 wines one for
each varietal / category. After the judges award medals, they line up
all of the Double Gold and Gold winners to determine the one best
wine for each varietal – So when the results were tallied, BRYTER
Estates 2009 “Inspired” Cabernet Sauvignon was named the best
overall Cabernet in California.
Terin Ignozzi, winemaker uses old world techniques with modern
sensibilities to create award-winning wines. Terin and her team are
proud to be listed with some of the best wineries in California. With
production levels at 1,200 cases per year, BRYTER Estates is truly a
boutique winery - a winery of this size winning these awards is truly
a substantial feat.
BRYTER Estates is a boutique family winery specializing in
premium, handcrafted wines from the best vineyards in California.
A hidden gem in Sonoma! Inspired by the beauty of old-world
winemaking, the enjoyment of food and passion for art, BRYTER
Estates is a boutique family winery specializing in small-lot, hand
crafted wines. They are passionate about our craft, blending art and
science to create perfectly balanced, elegant wines.
BRYTTER wines that are ready to drink upon release, but like the
best things in life, these wines improve with age.
BRYTER tasting room is located at 25 East Napa Street, Suite E,
downtown Sonoma and is open daily 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Visit

Foley Family Wines Announces Strategic
Partnership With Langtry Estate & Vineyards
FFW To Lead Sales and marketing For Historic Guenoc valley Winery
Foley Family Wines announced it has formed a strategic
partnership with Langtry Estate & Vineyards to lead sales and
marketing for the iconic Guenoc Valley producer.
The Langtry Estate is steward to 23,000 acres within both Lake
and Napa Counties. With the establishment of the Guenoc Valley AVA
on December 21, 1981, Langtry became the first winery in the nation
with its own appellation.
Under the Langtry and Guenoc brands, the winery currently crafts
approximately 175,000 cases of wine annually. The winery offers four
tiers of wines: Langtry Single Vineyard Wines (limited, estate, singlevineyard, luxury-class), Guenoc Lake County Wines (premium,
single-AVA), Guenoc North Coast Victorian Claret (Bordeaux blend)
and Guenoc California Selection Wines (value, broad distribution).
The winery has enjoyed significant critical success for all of its
wines. The Guenoc Petite Sirah ranks in the top five in US sales
within its price segment. The Guenoc California Selection Sauvignon
Blanc is in the top 10 in US sales in its price segment.
“We are excited to be partnering with the robust sales and
marketing team at Foley Family Wines,” said Easton Manson,
President of Langtry. “Their expertise and execution will be invaluable
in our efforts to expand sales and distribution across the county for all
of our tiers, especially our Guenoc California Selection wines which
feature new packaging and redesigned labels.’
“Langtry and Guenoc are the two most recognizable and important
brands from Lake County,” said Bill Foley. “The addition of their
wines will strengthen our portfolio and help us gain access to a
number of important national and regional accounts.”
Foley Family Wines was established by Bill Foley in 1996 with the
acquisition of Lincourt Vineyards in California’s Santa Ynez Valley.
Since then, Foley Family Wines has grown to become a major
producer, marketer and distributor of highly-acclaimed, handmade
wines from some of the world’s greatest vineyards.

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

Acoustic Evening with Ryan Sims and Ethan from EastonAshe
Join McGrail Vineyards on August 31 from
5 to 9 p.m. for tapas, wine and live music by
Arizona musicians Ryan Sims and Ethan from
EastonAshe. Ryan Sims was recently featured
on The Voice. Food will be available for
purchase from Posada Catering, no outside
food or beverages. Entry fee is only $10.
Wine enthusiasts can admire the breathtaking views of a 16-acre Cabernet vineyard
sprawled along Greenville Road, perfectly
situated on top of a hill in Livermore.
McGrail Vineyards and Winery specializes
in 100-percent, estate-grown Cabernet
Sauvignon.
McGrail won the Sweepstakes Red Wine
Award from the San Francisco Chronicle
Wine Competition this year for its flagship
wine, the 2008 McGrail Vineyards Cabernet
Sauvignon Reserve.
“We farm it to the highest degree for
quality. We drop fruit several times
throughout the year and we strive for the best
fruit possible,” said Heather McGrail, McGrail
Vineyards and Winery President.
The winery ages its wine for 30 months in
oak barrels. The extra time in the barrel helps
integrate the flavors. They also taste each and
every barrel before finalizing its blend which
ensures top quality.
Jim and Ginger McGrail opened McGrail
Vineyards and Winery in 2008 with the help
of their daughter, Heather McGrail. The
McGrails have been growing grapes for the
last 12 years for the Steven Kent Winery. In
2009, they hired Mark Clarin as winemaker
and the rest is history.
“We use the time honored method of
producing wine; start with good grapes and
don’t mess it up,” Heather McGrail said. “Our
winery is all about fun, family and friends.”
According to her, the Petite Sirah and
Chardonnay are other popular selections. The
Chardonnay is a California style Chardonnay
with fruit notes, oak and butter. The Petite

Sirah is grown from the fruit of a family
friend and neighbor, Julio Covarrubias. It has
blueberry notes, dark fruit and dry tannins.
Two wines were released this year, a dry
Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé and a 2009 Reserve
Cabernet that will be released in July.
When the tasting room originally opened
they poured only one wine, the 2005 Reserve
Cabernet, the same “recipe” but different
vintage. Each year, they work at
improving this wine while keeping it
consistent with previous vintages.
“It’s exciting that three vintages later we
have successfully created a wine that receives
such high honors,” Heather McGrail said.
She says besides sampling the award
winning wines, guests always have the
opportunity to meet someone from the family
at the winery on any certain day.
The tasting room is open Friday through
Monday and by appointment Tuesday
through Thursday. They offer private
vineyard tours as well as private tastings for
groups or events. For more information, call
(925) 215-0717 or visit the website at

Harvest Celebration Celebrates 31st Year
in Lovely Livermore Valley Wine Country
are amazing, plus En Garde, one of the newest
wineries in the region (lovely rosé and tempting
Tempranillo). On to Wente, where Murietta’s Well is
pouring: The Whip and The Spur blends are
fantastic values. Make sure to pick up some great
mustards and a bottle of something Rhone from Les
Chenes Estates while you’re there. It’s easy to make a
full day or two of this festival, now in its 31st year.
Many wineries will have special activities planned
for Monday, so be sure to come back and enjoy
things like bottle your own wine at Cedar Mountain
Winery, el Sol Winery and Eckert Estate Winery. Be
responsible recyclers, and bring your own bottles!
Enjoy barrel tasting at Mitchell Katz or beekeeping
demos at el Sol.
For tickets and information, including bus route map for Sunday
only, visit www.LVwine.org or call 925-447-WINE.

Livermore Valley Wine Country is truly one of
the best-kept secrets in Northern California’s
treasure trove of wine regions.
If you visit this beautiful hilly vine-rowed mecca
on a quintessential late-summer or early-autumn
day, you’ll enjoy the abundant sunshine of summer,
cooled by a beautiful breeze that makes sitting
outdoors downright pleasant. Hopefully, Harvest
Festival this year, held on Sunday, September 2nd
and Monday, September 3rd, will be blessed with
this kind of weather.
On such a day, I happened on Retzlaff Winery as
two couples, men in suits, women in fashionably
chic dresses, walked in, having just come from a
wedding at nearby Ruby Hill Winery. They had an hour until the
reception and decided to come wine tasting. Turns out they were
from Scottsdale, AZ, and had never been to Livermore. I joined them
in a glass of Retzlaff Sauvignong Blanc as they sat in the shade of the
enormous pepper trees, transfixed by the natural beauty of the
setting.
“I am sitting here thinking I’m really, truly in paradise!” said the
woman wearing the pearls. “This is just so beautiful, I never even
thought wine country could be this spectacularly pretty! I wish I
could just stay right here, drinking this wine, for the rest of my life!”
As I left our Arizona visitors to pursue my Harvest Wine
Celebration rounds (with visits to Nottingham Cellars, McGrail,
Wood Family and Rodrigue Molyneaux), all four were mesmerized
by the confluence of the moment: when everything just comes
together. I know they’ll all be back. They had just discovered the
new gold in Livermore: its blonde hills, ruffled by the Bay breeze, and
vineyards heavy with Chardonnay grapes glistening in late August
afternoon light.
You, too can enjoy the beauty of this region on Harvest Festival
weekend. Visit Longevity, Nottingham and Occasio, three wineries on
Vasco, right next to one another. There’ll be plenty of great food, and
the wines to pay attention to are the 2010 Sotto Voce and 2011 Sauv
Blanc from Occasio, the 2009 Tempranillo from Longevity and the
2010 “Awakening” GSM from Nottingham Cellars. Then, on to
McGrail for some award-winning Cabernet.
If it’s Sangiovese you’re hankering for, Rodrigue Molyneaux is your
best bet: they’re pouring at Concannon, along with several other
wineries, including Darcie Kent Gallery, who makes gorgeous Gruner
Veltliner and Merlot, Bodegas Aguirre, whose Malbec and Petite Sirah

August: When Grapes Become Teens
BY LAURA NESS
6-6-12
WCTW S2S Ad-July
vert. 3.75”w x 6.25” h
August brings the beginnings of ripeness to the vineyards, and
depending on the vagaries of the season, red grapes will begin
veraison, turning from green to various shades of purple, somewhere
around the middle to the end of this typically toasty month. Everyone
is very optimistic about the cropload and the quality so far. Come on
out to the vineyards and check out the beautiful Chardonnay at
Burrell School and the lovely clusters of Pinotage at Loma Prieta.
Winemakers with fog pressures are hoping they don’t have to
spray for mildew abatement, as the buildup of sulfur on the fruit the
closer you get to harvest is not ideal. They’re also praying that
excessive heat waves can be avoided, as the slow maturation of fruit
flavors is what they’re after, not just a sudden run-up in sugars which
can send cluster chemistry into what literally amounts to diabetic
coma.
While July is the month where you pull up the wires to
accommodate dramatic growth, when you leaf thin for optimal sun
exposure and when you pull shoots and drop non-optimal clusters,
August is the month you weigh your options on fruit load. If it’s nice
and warm, you might ride it out and keep the clusters in place. If it’s
excessively cool, you take the chance to start dropping fruit. If you
don’t keep the vines balanced now, you run the risk of either never
getting fruit truly ripe before the growing season wanes. Or, you face
the consequences of excessive cluster dropping should a September
heat wave ensue, throwing the vines into that diabetic coma we talked
about earlier, combined with dehydration and heat exhaustion.
August is also the time that the bird netting goes up in earnest,
and the sounds of bird bombs, air rifles and cannons begin to sound
off in those vineyards where netting is too labor intensive. Whether
you use the Australian white “throwover” nets or you install the green
or black kind that attach to the trellising and roll up when not in use,
most netting lasts only five seasons, due to weathering and UV
exposure. Who said having a vineyard was cheap, or fun?
Speaking of fun, we know you just wanna have fun in the
summer. The Summit to Sea Wineries have tasteful tattoos for the
girls. Make sure you get one of those oh so sexy “Wine Babes”
beauties to show off your fabulous summer tan! Grab picnic fixin’s
from the Summit Store and head to one our beautiful mountain
wineries for some summer fun.
