INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER
by Len Napolitano
What information on a wine label is most important?
When shopping for wine, beyond looking for the name of a
reliable producer, it helps to gather other information from the
label to better understand what you are buying. Some basic items
to examine: the appellation (a geographic name); a vineyard
designation; the term “Estate-Bottled” and the term “Reserve.” A
wine’s vintage should not play a large role in your decision unless
you know of a specific year that you want.
The appellation designation, also known as the American
Viticultural Area designation, or AVA, will identify where the
grapes were grown. The broadest and most general designation is a
state name, like “California” or “Oregon.” A broad geographic area
designation usually indicates a wine without the unique
characteristics that a more narrow geographic designation, such as
Edna Valley, Napa Valley or Santa Ynez Valley, would possess. The
reason is because broad AVA designations allows the winemaker to
blend grapes from anywhere in the entire region. When I compare
labels of similar-type wines that I have never tasted and am
unfamiliar with, I almost always select the one with the smaller
AVA in order to get an impression of the more specific geography.
A wine label that includes the name of a vineyard, in addition to
the AVA, is getting even more specific with geography. A single
vineyard may have its own unique soil or climate and produce a
wine that is different enough to demand a separate and distinct
identification on the label.
Of less importance, the term “Estate-Bottled” means the grapes
were grown on either the producer's estate property or in
vineyards that are within his appellation and with whom he has
10
long-term contracts. In other words, production remained under
the control of one company from start to finish.
Finally, the term “Reserve” will sometimes be used to identify a
wine that the producer believes to be among its best. “Reserve”
could mean that the grapes were hand harvested, or selected from
hillside vines only, or the wine was given more time in barrel for
aging. For these reasons, “Reserve” wines will usually be priced
higher than the producer’s non-reserve wines.
And, don’t forget to check the alcohol content. The trend is to
make full-bodied, bolder wine these days and a higher alcohol
level usually goes along with that. Twenty years ago, the average
alcohol content in wine was around 12%. Today, it is probably
more like 13% to 14%.
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.

ETUDE WINES
Ten Years On and Still Growing Great Wines
BY JOSH STEIN
ETUDE WINES
Open daily from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Reserve tasting $25 per person at the tasting bar
Private Heirloom Room Tasting $35 per person by appointment

Etude’s Carneros estate was founded in 2002 to grow great wines. As odd as that may
sound, it makes perfect sense in wine country; as Etude founder Jon Priest says, “inspired
grape growing diminishes the need for intervention by the winemaker.” The underlying idea is
that winemaking begins in the vineyard, months and even years before the grapes are
harvested: “superior grape growing diminishes the need for intervention by the winemaker,
resulting in wine that is grown, not made.” Mindful of their roles as stewards, the Etude team
adheres strictly to sustainable agricultural practices which enable them to farm in concert with
the surrounding environment. Native flora and naturally occurring wetlands have been
protected, and creeks are being restored. Wildlife has been afforded safe passageways through
the vineyards to guarantee biodiversity, which produces better wines.
A certified Napa Green winery and Fish Friendly Farming property, the Etude 600-acre
estate vineyard is on 1,300 acres of land in the northwest corner of Carneros, and unlike most
of the surrounding area, which is largely uplifted bay with soils composed of clay, the soils on
the Etude estate site are well-drained, rocky, and volcanic. Equally, while many vineyards are
planted in grids to maximize efficiency, the blocks for Etude’s estate vineyard were customized
to conform to the various soil types and the changing contours of the land itself. Individual
vineyard blocks average only eight acres in size, and the between-vine spacing is dense to
ensure low yields of fully concentrated fruit.
Nearly twenty Pinot Noir clones, including ten low-yielding heirloom varieties, have been
planted in Etude’s estate vineyard, the goal being to deliver on those clones’ promise. The term
“etude” itself comes from musical composition, such pieces being designed to allow the player
to focus on particular technical aspects of playing; in the same vein, each of the winery’s
bottling is the result of a set of decisions made to bring out the best of each clone and vintage.
Etude makes available multiple Cabernet Sauvignons from the major areas of the mid-and
north-Valley, including from St. Helena’s Schoenstein Vineyard, Oakville’s Vine Hill Ranch, and
Calistoga’s Frediani Vineyard;
Estate Chardonnay; Merlot;
multiple Pinot Noirs from
throughout the Carneros estate;
Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and
Pinot Noir Rosé; as well as the
extremely rare Brandy Pinot Noir
and Brandy XO, made from the
original Alambic pot stills that
were once on the property.
The tasting room was
designed by architect Matt Hollis
to be welcoming and light-filled,
and the goal is to make the
exploration of wine as enjoyable
as possible whether guests
choose to taste current releases
or reserves or taste at the bar, in
the private salon, at the sitdown
table, or outside on the patio
surrounded by vines and views.
Daily tasting of current and
reserve wines is available, but
more intimate experiences do
require reservations. Call ahead
for a Private Heirloom Room
Tasting, a comprehensive hosted
tasting of various reserve Single
Block Pinot Noir and Single
Appellation Cabernet Sauvignon
bottlings. Equally, weekends
provide the reservations-required
Food and Wine Pairing, a private
gourmet tasting experience that
explores a flight of six wines
paired with three savory
matches.
As you can see, Etude’s
founders have put their time and
effort into what really matters
while eschewing a lot of
unnecessary elements found
elsewhere. If the focus is on
matching clone to location and
growing great grapes, the
resulting wines express quite
clearly where the artention has
been paid – to what’s in the glass.
Come over to the far-lesstravelled Carneros region and
taste for yourself what a decade’s
efforts have produced. You’ll be
very glad indeed you did. Enjoy!

JUDD’S HILL WINERY & MICROCRUSH
JUDD’S HILL
WINERY & MICROCRUSH
Open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. by advance appointment
2332 Silverado Trail, Napa, CA 94558
(707) 255-2332 | www.juddshill.com

It would be easy to zoom by the small sign and picturesque bridge that mark the
entrance to one of Napa’s friendliest and most highly regarded boutique wineries. But,
those in the know, slow down as they round the curve past the strawberry stand at the
south end of the Silverado Trail, and hang a right over the tree-lined bridge crossing
Milliken Creek to cruise up the gravelly road. Judd’s Hill Winery and MicroCrush
should be on the top of your list of places to taste if you are looking for great wines and
an informal familial setting. Owned and run by two generations of the Finkelstein
family, Judd’s Hill remains one of the few places in Napa where you are likely to have
personal interaction with the owners when you visit for a tasting.
The Finkelstein family of Judd’s Hill has been making wine in the Napa Valley since
the 1970s, when they founded their first winery, Whitehall Lane. After the sale of
Whitehall Lane, Judd’s Hill Winery was founded in 1989 with the vision of making
small-lot handcrafted wines that are balanced and food-friendly. “Having a good time
making great wine with family” was and continues to be the winery’s motto.
A wide variety of wines are poured in their tasting room, which is open daily from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Currently, they are featuring their Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, Estate Pinot
Noir, Old Vine Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon. From time to time, “bonus bottles”
from the library or pre-release wines will be added into the flight to give their guests a
special treat. Visitors with a desire to take their wine country experience to a more
interactive and hands-on level should make an appointment to take part in their “Bottle
Blending Day Camp.” BBDC participants work with a Judd’s Hill Blending Guide to craft
their perfect Bordeaux-style wine from four different barrel samples of Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Once your favorite cuveé has been decided
upon, you’ll be led into the cellar where you’ll assist in hand-bottling, labeling and the
application of foil capsules to the bottlenecks. You then get to take your personallycrafted wine with you the same day. The whole process takes about two hours and it’s a
fun and edifying experience for singles, couples and groups of all sizes.
If a few bottles of your own wine isn’t enough to quench your thirst, Judd’s Hill also
has a MicroCrush service in which clients can make a barrel or more of their own wine.
You can craft your own blend of a selection of barrels in the Judd’s Hill cellar or make
wine with grapes from Judd’s Hill grower-partners or from your own vineyard.
From a quick tasting to a multi-year wine making project, Judd’s Hill is the perfect
option for anyone with the desire to “have a good time making (or tasting) great wine
with family!”

Gibson, Pierce & Summers Headline Songwriters in Sonoma July
The second of three Songwriters in
Sonoma shows to take place at the Community Café (www.ccsonoma.com) in Sonoma
will feature Tony Gibson, Garrett Pierce and
Sarah Summers on Thursday, July 19 at 7
p.m. (Doors open at 6 p.m. with a show time
of 7 p.m.) Community Café will provide a
special evening menu accompanied by an
extensive menu of Meadowcroft and Thomas
Henry Wines.
The Community Café is located at 875
West Napa Street (seven blocks west of the
downtown Plaza). Tickets are $10 per person
and available by calling the Meadowcroft
Wines tasting room at (707) 934-4090 or on
the website at www.meadowcroftwines.com.
Reservations for the July show are highly
recommended.
Inaugurated in January 2011 in the Meadowcroft Wines tasting room at Cornerstone
Sonoma, the music series moved to Community Café for three shows this summer.
Following the final “road” show on August
16, Songwriters in Sonoma will return to the
tasting room on September 20.
The monthly music series is produced by
Meadowcroft Wines and sponsored by the
Sonoma-based website, MusicNomad.com.
The shows are booked and hosted by Gerard
Serafini, owner of Sonoma Valley Music Store
(www.sonomavalleymusic.com), who also
provides the professional sound and lighting
for the shows.
If there is one word that can sum up
Sonoma native Tony Gibson’s music, it’s
honesty. He writes songs of love, hate, relationships, introspection, crime and resolution. You can’t avoid such a tapestry of lyrical
truth, especially when accompanied by the
infectious hooks in his music. After six years
in Los Angeles working on the label side of
the record industry, Tony took up his guitar
and awoke his passion for playing in front of
audiences. He will release his debut solo CD
in the fall. Tony first appeared at Songwriters
in Sonoma in August of last year.
Garrett Pierce pens songs that peek into
that same dark, yet optimistic place that
Henry Miller and Leonard Cohen tapped
into. His voice seems to soar alongside
acoustic ballads or dirgey rock songs with the
emotional confidence of someone who has
found his path after years of yearning. Pierce

SUMMER AT ST. FRANCIS
Wine, Food & Film Take Center Stage in Sonoma Valley
ST. FRANCIS WINERY & VINEYARDS
Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For nearly 35 years, St. Francis Winery in Sonoma Valley has produced fruit
forward, full-bodied wines from superior mountain and valley vineyards in Sonoma
County’s top appellations, earning scores of impressive accolades along the way.
While wine has always been the star at St. Francis, food plays a magnificent
supporting role.
Executive Chef David Bush heads up the winery’s onsite kitchen, crafting
unforgettable culinary experiences designed to reflect the beauty, charm and
agricultural heritage of Sonoma Valley. The winery’s multicourse wine and food
pairing is unsurpassed in wine country, offering what one popular food writer
described as “small plates that rival the kitchen of any Michelin-starred restaurant.”
Chef Bush, whose résumé includes Sonoma’s the girl & the fig restaurant,
masterfully pairs his creative dishes with St. Francis’ award-winning wines. The
menu changes seasonally but offers an array of gourmet delicacies.
Mouthwatering selections include items like slow roasted spice-rubbed shoulder
of local lamb tasted alongside the St. Francis 2007 Sonoma Valley Anthem Meritage
blend. Chef’s Banh Mi sandwich with grilled sirloin and housemade duck rillette
bring out the luscious fruit and spice in the St. Francis 2009 “Old Vines” Zinfandel,
a wine rated 91 points by Wine & Spirits. A recent dessert course paired the winery’s
2009 Port, a Double Gold Medal winner at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine
Competition, with decadent chocolate fondue.
“My philosophy about wine and food pairing is that there are
no rules,” Chef Bush says. “I like to take risks. My ultimate goal is
to surprise people and for them to leave with a different view of
how wine and food work together.”
St. Francis’ dining room, with its tiled fireplace and spectacular
vineyard views, is the ideal setting for Chef Bush’s break-the-rules
pairings. Guests sit together at a custom-designed round table,
guided through each course by an expert host who highlights key
components and shares some of the winery’s history. The
experience is relaxed, friendly and educational, showcasing the
best Sonoma County has to offer.
Planted just steps away from the winery’s dining room, is the
winery’s new two-acre estate vegetable garden uses organic
farming practices to produce a bounty of seasonal vegetables,
berries and fruits for Chef’s kitchen.
“The garden gives me an opportunity to create wine and food
pairings using the freshest seasonal ingredients grown right
outside our kitchen door,” Bush says. “I have everything I could
possibly want, from lettuces, greens and beets to multiple
varieties of heirloom tomatoes, apples and pears.”
Seated pairings are held Friday-Sunday at 11 a.m., 1 and
3 p.m. There are two seatings on Mondays and Thursdays at
11 a.m. and 2 p.m. The cost is $38 per person. Reservations are
strongly recommended and can be made by calling 1-888-675WINE.
For a more informal wine and food paring, St. Francis also
offers the option of relaxing on the outside patio with a glass of
wine or a flight of wines paired with a selection of charcuterie,
featuring local cheeses, housemade patés and rillettes.
The Place to be This Summer!
St. Francis is hosting several events this summer and fall,
including their third annual Stars Under the Stars outdoor film
festival and concert series (see below), their annual Dinner Under
the Stars winery dinner on July 28, a lobster feed for club
members on Saturday, August 11, and the 12th annual Blessing of
the Animals on Sunday, October 7.

Robert Mondavi Winery Summer Concert Series
Napa Valley Winery hosts five artists in festival’s 43rd year
In the spirit of Robert Mondavi’s belief that wine, food and the
arts are an essential part of American life, the 2012 Robert Mondavi
Winery Summer Concert Series began with O.A.R. taking the stage at
the winery on June 30. Multi-platinum singer, songwriter and actor
Josh Groban will perform the final concert on July 21st benefitting
the The Napa Valley School’s Music and Art Programs and his own
Find Your Light Foundation. Margrit Mondavi founded this annual
concert series in 1969, quickly becoming an anticipated wine country
tradition.
Throughout the festival’s 43-year history, more than $2 million in
proceeds has been raised for the Napa Valley Symphony, Napa Valley
Opera House and the Napa Valley Unified School District. Proceeds
from ticket sales of this year’s series will directly benefit the Napa
Valley Unified School District.
Perhaps best known for their hit “Superman,” Five for Fighting
will bring their smooth vocals to the winery on July 14 for the “Hope
in the Vineyard” concert. City of Hope is a national cancer research
and treatment center, providing patients with specialized care.
The summer concert series concludes July 21 with the “Spotlight
on To Kalon” performance by Josh Groban. “Robert Mondavi Winery
is the perfect place to experience the musical genius of Josh Groban.
You can be a part of a world-class musical performance, watch the
moon rise over the vineyard, and enjoy wonderful wines,” says Carl
Jaeger, Estate Director at Robert Mondavi Winery. “Making music and
making wine are both artistic expressions and this performance
marks the beginning of a collaboration between Josh and the
winery.”
“With the goal of sharing our love for the arts with the local
community, we couldn’t imagine a better collection of artists to
perform at this year’s festival,” says Carl Jaeger, Estate Director at
Robert Mondavi Winery. “The diversity of acts coupled with the
unique charities that will benefit
from the concerts combines to
bring evenings of world-class
wine and entertainment, right
here in our backyard.”
The Robert Mondavi Winery
Festival started as a small venture
in the arts, with tickets costing
only $3 and drawing a modest
crowd of 400 attendees. Since its
inception, the festival has hosted
more than 100 performers and
now draws thousands every year.
From the first performance by the
Napa Valley Symphony, a guitar
soloist, and the Xoregos Dance
Company, the festival has grown
32
to showcase world-renowned jazz, R&B and pop artists.
All performances begin at 7 p.m. and are held at the Robert
Mondavi Winery on Highway 29 in Oakville, Napa Valley. Ticket
prices vary by performance. For additional information and to
purchase tickets, including General Admission, Reserved and Dinner
seats, visit www.robertmondaviwinery.com, ticketweb.com or call

Few wineries anywhere directly control more than 1,200 acres of estate
vineyards, and fewer still can lay claim to acreage from across the
complete range of Napa Valley sub-appellations: mountainsides, various
spots on the Valley floor, Carneros and Calistoga. And only one can lay
claim to a “green” sky tram which takes you 300 feet above the Valley,
giving unique views and striking architecture with which to enjoy the
wines: Sterling Vineyards. They’re proof that great things in the wine
business truly do get better as they age!
A legacy of five decades of stewardship continues today as the winery
was one of the first twelve to be certified as a Napa County Green
Winery by the Napa Valley Vintners; Sterling has also received Napa
Valley Green Land certification for its sustainable management, water
conservation and fish-friendly farming across all of its estate vineyards.
Even the tram is solar-powered! This commitment to doing things the
right way naturally extends to the winemaking after the grapes are
grown. Whites are harvested at night, going directly to press as whole
Continued
clusters to preserve quality. Reds are brought to
the crush pad in small boxes and are hand-sorted
before being destemmed and innoculated with
native yeasts. Reserve wines are given even more
special treatment in the micro-winery-withinthe-winery built in 2008. This 10,000-case
facility across from the caves allows for wholeberry fermentations, barrel spinning for
micro-fermentations and multiple small lots for
best-of-the-best bottlings.
That commitment to ensuring a legacy of
quality is present in every release, and given the
variety of vineyards and locations under its direct
control – a true rare luxury for the winemakers
in today’s modern global marketplace – it’s not a
surprise to find wines to appeal to all tastes and
lifestyles. Indeed, there are the Napa Valley wines
for which the winery is well known; the SingleVineyard releases, which highlight the unique
combination of variety and place within various
parts of the Valley; the Cellar Club wines, small
bottlings of club-only exclusives; the Vintner’s
Collection, which shows off other Sterling
Vineyards in California; and the Reserve wines,
individual, special and rarely bottled. All are
available to taste at the winery, and many can
only be found there altogether.
Beyond the tram and the wines, there is
plenty more to enjoy while on the property. The
layout of the Greek island Mykonos-inspired
white stucco walls allows for wandering amidst
famous artworks and prints, architectural details
and, every once in a while, a random turn reveals
breath-taking views of the Valley’s narrowing
northern quadrant, with the Mayacamas and
Vacas in extreme proximity on both sides. Every
quarter-hour, eight bells recovered from London’s
bombed out Church of St.Dunstans-in-the-East
accompany your movement around the winery’s
facilities. Self-paced by design by utilizing
motion-activated flatscreens, the general
admission tasting and tour covers the tram ride,
the tour, tasting of five wines and a souvenir
wine glass. For those wanting exclusive wines,
there are also the Reserve, Sterling Silver VIP and
Sterling Gold VIP options, which will taste you
through reserve wines, single-vineyard, limitedrelease and premier bottlings available nowhere
else. The goal is for visitors to be comfortable
and able to enjoy everything the winery
produces.
Half a century ago, Sterling Vineyards was
founded with the ideal of growing grapes in the
best locations the Napa Valley had to offer and
then producing the best possible wines to
showcase those vineyards in an awe-inspiring
setting. Lots of folks have come and gone in that
time, and the winery is still here, doing what it
does best: making wines that speak strongly of
their sources. Come find out for yourself what
more than a quarter million others annually do –
there’re great wines still to be had after all these
years up in Calistoga at Sterling Vineyards. Go
and enjoy – you won’t be sorry!

As the owner of RASgalleries, I’ve had the opportunity to meet hundreds
of talented American glass artists over the past twenty-two years. I’m
fascinated by the work of Jack Storms, one of only three cold glass sculptors
in the world. It’s a pleasure to announce that RASgalleries will host Jack
Storms: Master of Cold Glass Sculpture beginning July 13 and continuing
through August 31. In this show, we’ll present Bella Vino, exclusive winethemed sculptures as well as pieces from his “Cube & Ariel Series.” The show
begins Friday, July 13, with an artist reception from 6 to 8 p.m., and there’s a
second chance to meet Jack Storms on Saturday, July 14 from 2 to 4 p.m.
I recently had the chance to chat with him about his life and work and his
plans for the RASgalleries show.
RASgalleries: Your sculptures radiate and mesmerize. Our clients can’t take their eyes
off them! The spectrum of color makes everyone want to touch the surface of the
crystal. Talk about the first time you touched glass. What drew you to this medium?
Jack Storms: That was a seminal moment for me and it was just that quick.
Sculpting glass is a slow, tedious process but that first day when I stood at the
grinding wheel manipulating the glass and saw what I could do, I was
immediately hooked by both the process and the form. That first day, with the
simple and tedious task of grinding a piece of glass flat and then smooth and
then to a polish, I knew what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. It was
magic to me to transform a piece of glass that looked like a chunk of concrete
into a treasure that shone like a diamond.
RASgalleries: You opened your studio in 2004 and you’re one of very few optic crystal
sculptors in the world. You’ve said that it can take ten weeks or more to complete a
piece. I understand the process is demanding, requiring painstaking construction of a
core of dichroic film on glass. Each piece is cut, polished and laminated, layer after
layer to achieve the geometric rainbows. Your studio must be an interesting place,
describe it and the preparations you must make prior to beginning a new piece, and
explain the steps you take to ensure success. What can go wrong?
Jack Storms: It can all go wrong. That’s one of the main reasons the process
takes the time that it does. There’s a lot of room for error and it’s a constant
struggle to maintain a polished surface that’s vital for the interior construction
of the work and the finish. The studio looks like a dungeon since most of the
tooling is wet and I use diamond tools and grit (basically the texture of beach
sand). It’s a constant struggle to not cross contaminate. The process is slow
enough without making a mistake like mixing up a polishing compound with
grit. I bond the glass in a clean room that must be dust free. Again, I have to
be constantly aware of contamination since no one wants my eyelashes in
their artwork.
RASgalleries: You draw inspiration from both your heart and science, using the
theory of Fibonacci in each lead crystal sculpture. Fibonacci, as a great
mathematician, articulated that math is natural in nature. Fibonacci numbers are
found in the patterns of growth in every living thing. Can you explain how this is interpreted in your
work?
Jack Storms: Utilizing the Fibonacci theory, my work has the ability to be visually spectacular
at one angle and then show the simplicity of form, pattern and structure at another. The
principle is also responsible for being a bridge from a very technical medium to a more
natural reception, giving the sense that the work is created and not manufactured.
RASgalleries: Talk about the beverage-themed sculptures that you will feature for Bella Vino, the
RASGalleries show in July. What excites you about this new series? How are these forms different for
you?
Jack Storms: The wine-themed work is what I call my Bella work. These works are very dear to
me because they come from a concept that I was told multiple times would never work. I
was convinced I could shape glass on a lathe so I designed then created a lathe that would
prove the doubters wrong. The first works from this lathe were wine-themed. It seemed very
natural to me. There are so many exciting forms that I can explore with the lathe and the
shapes and colors in the finished pieces that will be at the
show – bottles, wine glasses, Champagne flutes –
emphasize the energy between the love of wine and art.
Each of the ten new pieces refracts light, reflects and casts
colored shadow.
RASgalleries: There are two new rainbows in your life: your wife,
Vivian, and your son, Owen. Give our readers a slice of your life
outside the studio. What do you love to do with your family?
Jack Storms: Before I met my wife and created our family,
I thought my true love was my work. I used to live to
sculpt not sculpt to live. I was made to be a dad and
husband and I’m lucky enough to support them doing
something I thoroughly enjoy. That realization has made
me a better sculptor. I take my love for them and their
love for me and channel it into the work. That energy
makes the creative process flow from me without
resistance. When the day is done, I race home to wrestle
with my two-year-old and coach him on the ABCs, and
be a husband to my wife. It recharges me for the next day
of sculpting in the studio.
RASgalleries: What would you like people to take away,
emotionally, from this show?
Jack Storms: I hope that they find my work brings a sense of
fascination and wonder that is enduring for them through
the years.
Jack Storms is a driving force in the world of cold glass
sculpture. Collected internationally, his work has also
been commissioned for award ceremonies, as
commemorative pieces, and even as a gift honoring the
President of Nigeria. At RASgalleries, we are pleased to
represent this accomplished artist year-round. We invite
you to Jack Storms: Master of Cold Glass introducing
Bella Vino, a highly anticipated show of sculpture by Jack
Storms, opening on July 13 with new works continuing to
arrive through August 31, 2012. Attend the artist
reception July 13 from 6 to 8 p.m and July 14 from 2 to
4 p.m. at RASgalleries in Yountville.

Welcome to
CALISTOGA
Golden Haven Hot Springs
BY KARIN ARGOUD
Want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and
not spend a fortune? Calm your mind, sooth your soul and beautify
your body at Golden Haven Hot Springs and Spa. This charming
Calistoga Spa is nestled in the heart of the legendary Napa Valley
Wine Country and has everything you need for the perfect getaway at
the perfect price. Melt your troubles away with the magical Calistoga
hot springs water and rejuvenating spa treatments at Golden Haven.
People have been coming to Calistoga for over a hundred years to
enjoy the hot springs mineral waters. Why? The Calistoga mineral
waters contain more than 35 minerals and have been touted to have
great health benefits. Besides, it’s fun and if you love wine, Golden
Haven offers guests a winery guide with great deals on tours and
tastings.
Or maybe you want to just take a deep breath and unwind. You
deserve to feel this good, balanced, rested and connected with
yourself. So go ahead, spoil yourself with a soothing massage, or
luxurious herbal facial, or detoxifying European Body Wraps and
relax in a mud bath. Staff members will guide you throughout the
entire process of a traditional mud bath that this Calistoga spa is
known for. Golden Haven’s private treatment rooms for mud baths
were chosen as the favorite mud bath experience of all the Napa
Valley spas.
“What people really love about this place is that we are oriented
towards couples and we are one of the only spas in town that does
the traditional mud bath for couples,” said General Manager, Barry
Stern. Stern explains that a traditional mud bath is a thick
combination of clay, peat moss and hot springs mineral water. “What
we have here is really thick mud,” adds Stern. “Some Calistoga spas
just add water to clay, so it’s more like a liquid. At Golden Haven, you
will enjoy the traditional mud bath that is world famous.” Stern says
that the peat moss gives thickness and buoyancy to the mud “So you
are floating, which makes it
relaxing, it sooths your muscles
and takes out toxins.” Stern says
it’s fun too, because you can take
a mud bath together in a private
room for two. The mud bath is
flushed after every use with hot
mineral water at temperatures
between 102 and 104 degrees.
Between treatments, you can
soak in sun and enjoy the
outdoor pool and Jacuzzi heated
naturally with water from the
Calistoga hot springs, which
emerges from the ground at 140degrees. The minerals in the
water are excellent for softening
your skin. The pool is housed in
42
an inviting cabana that also includes a shower and changing room.
There is a sun deck, floral gardens and picnic area.44_ too.
“We offer the best deals in Calistoga,” said Stern. He wants guests
to know that Golden Haven Hot Springs “offers a really great
experience with wonderful services. We are welcoming,
unpretentious, comfortable and affordable!”
All the rooms have been remodeled in last five years and include a
private bath or shower, color cable TV, air conditioning, a refrigerator,
and complimentary coffee, tea and bottled water. There are three
types of rooms: standard rooms, superior rooms and the most
popular Jacuzzi rooms. Those rooms feature a full size whirlpool spa,
king bed, vaulted ceilings and dressing area.
Make sure, before booking a room, to go to the website and check
out their current specials. It’s usually more affordable to come on a
weekday, but right now they are offering Sizzling Summer Specials.
For only $319 you can stay in a superior room and get mud baths
and massages for two. Check website for specific dates at
www.goldenhaven.com.
Golden Haven Hot Springs is open Monday through Sunday from
8 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. for spa treatments. The pool is open year-round
from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and is located at 1713 Lake Street, Calistoga,
CA 94515. For reservations, call (707) 942-8000.

TASTING ROOM OF THE WEEK
WILSON WINERY
Ken and Diane Wilson
BY SUE STRAIGHT, THE WINE WENCH
WILSON WINERY
1960 Dry Creek Road, just north of the wine-infused Mecca of Healdsburg
(707) 433-4355 | www.wilsonwinery.com.
Tell them the Wine Wench sent you!

Great wines, friendly staff, unpretentious atmosphere and stunning views of
the Dry Creek Valley – Wilson Winery is all this and much more.
When Ken and Diane Wilson started restoring the old corrugated tin barn
(once known as the Chris Fredson Winery) in 1993, they had no idea of the
adventure they were embarking on. When they started the project, there were
still old redwood tanks and vats in the cellar. Now, almost 20 years later, they
have produced dozens of award-winning wines, garnered lots of critical acclaim
and most importantly, made lots of friends and fans. Wilson Winery is the first
winery in their growing family of Wilson Artisan Wineries, which includes
Mazzocco, Soda Rock, Matrix, Jaxon Keys, deLorimier and most recently, Pezzi
King.
Owner/Winemaker Diane Wilson crafts big juicy, jammy, tail-waggin’ good
Zinfandels (and Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Petite Sirah,
too) that are way too easy to drink! If you are already a Zinfandel fan, you must
go there and taste a few. If you are not a Zinfandel fan, you must go there and
taste a few – those wines just might make a believer out of you! I’m not the
only fan – Wilson Winery’s wines recently won 25 medals (including three
double gold medals and six gold medals) at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine
Competition!
The winery is surrounded by lush, green lawn, which is partially shaded by
tall oak trees. There have been occasional sightings of pink plastic patio
flamingos on the lawn (the Wilson family definitely has a sense of humor), but
there is nothing kitschy about this place, folks! A handful of wrought iron
picnic tables are artfully placed about the shaded patio, inviting visitors to stay
a while and enjoy the gorgeous, sweeping views of the surrounding Dry Creek
Valley.
The tasting room is comfortable and well laid out, with the main bar
spanning the back of the room and another bar off to the side for VIP tastings
and large groups. Large windows let in lots of light and watercolors by a local
artist dot the walls, creating a bright, airy atmosphere. The overall vibe in the
tasting room is casual and welcoming.
A tasteful selection of non-wine gift items is artfully laid out for the
discerning shopper, including some dog-related gifts (Wilson Winery is dog
friendly). A refrigerator is stocked with cheeses, cold cuts, bottled water and
chilled wines, making it easy for visitors to create an impromptu picnic.
Wilson Winery has the well-earned reputation for being a fun place to visit.
The tasting room staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they genuinely enjoy
chatting with visitors. They also feature live music performed by local bands on
a regular basis (my band has played there several times and I can tell you firsthand that these events are really fun!).
I tasted a few wines during my visit. The following were my favorites:
2009 Molly’s Zinfandel ($34) – This is Zinfandel with a capital “Z!”
Mouthwatering aromas of blackberry, plum, black pepper and brambles lead
into a juicy mouthful of consistent flavors, which linger through the finish.
Yum!
2009 Wilson Family Red ($34) – This is a big-bodied, delicious, red blend,
loaded with aromas and flavors of plum, blueberry, blackberry and peppery
spice.
Wilson Winery is a must-stop on your next visit to Sonoma County!

Raise a Glass to the 17th Annual Grape to Glass Pre-Harvest Party
Russian River Valley Winegrowers hosts beloved annual event showcasing

produces Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet
Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer.

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.

“My passion for wines comes from my experiences growing up, working
and traveling in Europe and the United States,” says Tom Meadowcroft,
winemaker and owner of Sonoma’s Meadowcroft Wines. “I started my journey
in winemaking by working the harvest of 1979 in Bordeaux, France.”
His passion for wine continued as he worked at wineries in both
Washington and the Napa Valley. He took numerous extension courses from
U.C. Davis and graduated from Napa College with an Associate of Science
degree in Winery Technology and Viticulture. He became a vineyard manager
focused on sustainable farming and environmental advocacy.
“Managing dozens of vineyards for many of the top wineries in Napa and
Sonoma taught me the principles of winegrowing and gave me a vision for the
kinds of wines that I make today,” says Meadowcroft. Over the years he has
gotten a well-earned reputation for the quality of the wine he creates and a
passion for the environment, two things he considers inseparable today, and
for an ongoing stewardship for the land that nurtures the grapes.
“The way I look at it, what I do is not just about the landscape and the
wine; it is just as much about sustainability.” He adds, “The fruit that comes
from our own vineyards as well as those from which we source, all use
sustainable practices.”
The standard bearer of the Meadowcroft label is the Mt. Veeder Estate
Grown Cabernet Sauvignon. An award-winning wine since its first vintage in
2005 which received 94 points in Wine Enthusiast, the current 2008 release
stands shoulder to shoulder with its predecessors and just recently garnered a
91 rating from the magazine. The Meadowcroft label also produces
Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Sangiovese, Viognier and Pinot Noir.
In addition to the flagship Meadowcroft label, Tom has also created Thomas
Henry Wines named for his father, Thomas Henry Meadowcroft, and crafted
for daily enjoyment and for sharing with friends and family. “My dad always
looked for great wines at a good price,” says Meadowcroft, “We lived and
traveled throughout Europe together by car, foot and on bicycle, sharing the
lessons of life, family and friends and that philosophy remains with every
bottle of Thomas Henry we produce.”
The Thomas Henry label features Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Merlot, Meritage,
Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon.
In addition to the Meadowcroft and Thomas Henry brands, Tom also
makes the wines for the Foyt Family. With each varietal, a memory in motor
sports from the Foyt family’s rich history, which extends over some five
decades, is shared. But the name Foyt is more than just a celebrity name on a
bottle.
Foyt Family Wines was created by Larry Foyt and A.J. Foyt IV, the son and
grandson, respectively, of world renown racing legend A. J. Foyt. Their
venture began with their passion for fine wine, and as a way of creating a
tribute to A.J. as well. The Foyt Family label presently includes a Chardonnay,
a Meritage and a Cabernet with additional vintages planned for the future.
“Our style of winemaking for all of our labels is all about balance,” says
Meadowcroft. “Not too much oak, because I never want to mask the varietal
characteristics that are so essential.”
To see for yourself, take a trip to the tasting room located at Cornerstone
Sonoma, only five miles south of the town of Sonoma, 40 miles north of the
Golden Gate Bridge and just across the street from Gloria Ferrer.

The Tenth Annual Petite Sirah Symposium
Sponsored by Concannon Vineyard, Livermore, July 31, 8:30 a.m.
The best and brightest Petite Sirah talent in California is again
gathering to discuss Petite Sirah grape growing, winemaking and
marketing issues as they continue to share their enthusiasm for this
stealth variety of consequence.
Since PS I Love You began after the first Petite Sirah Symposium,
interest for Petite Sirah has grown substantially. In the past ten years,
the number of Petite Sirah producers and growers has grown from 62
in 2002 to more than 1,000 in 2012. Anyone who has attended the
symposium understands the correlation between what was the case
ten years ago, to what is the story today.
Petite Sirah is truly an artisan winemakers “pet” project, with most
of these wines being sold directly through tasting room sales and
wine clubs. Most wine critics are not seeing these wines for critical
review. However, the media tasting that follows the morning session
of the symposium will provide a rare view of what many of these
wineries are doing.
~ PETITE SIRAH SYMPOSIUM PROGRAM ~
This year, Concannon is reflecting on having grown
this heritage variety for 100 years
Jim Concannon had the foresight to varietally label Petite Sirah in
1964, with a 1961 vintage, marking last year as Petite Sirah’s Golden
Anniversary.
“Concannon is the best location for the Petite Sirah Symposium,”
states Jo Diaz, founding executive director of PS I Love You, Inc.
“Petite Sirah is Concannon’s flagship wine; couple that with the fact
that Concannon’s commitment to sponsoring the Petite Sirah
Symposium has kept it in the forefront of interest by U.S. wine
reviewers for all of these years.
Nes: Big Change of venue for this year, only
Due to office renovations at Concannon Vineyard, the Symposium
Sessions will be held at the Martinelli Event Center (Sessions, only)
3585 Greenville, Road, Livermore. The Annual Luncheon and Media
Tasting will return to Concannon for the afternoon at 4596 Tesla
Road, Livermore.

Lone Oak Lodge – Clean, Affordable, Convenient
BY LAURA NESS
A cozy place to stay in Monterey is the Lone Oak Lodge, on North
Fremont Street, just off Highway 1, past the Monterey Fairgrounds.
This is your basic old-fashioned style motel that makes car camping
easy. You pull up to your room, unload, boom, you’re done. All onestory units, with pleasant bathrooms, clean, comfortable and
equipped with wireless everywhere. Fresh flowers in each room are a
nice touch, and each unit has a fridge and a coffee maker – thank
goodness!
Creature comforts are important, and this quiet, easy-to-find and
easy-to-love, family-friendly lodge has decent towels, great water
pressure and plenty of space to stash all your stuff. The fireplaces in
some rooms are quite cozy. Everything is clean and in working order.
The best part about Lone Oak is location, location, location: you’re
only minutes away from all the sights and sounds of nearby Monterey
Peninsula and Pebble Beach, but you don’t hear any of it from the
rooms, thanks to layout and setback off the highway. There are several
restaurants in proximity, including a serviceable Chinese for takeout,
and drug store, bottle shop and breakfast spot within walking
distance if you’ve had enough time behind the wheel. You seriously
can’t beat Lone Oak
for value,
convenience, comfort
and quiet. A good
