INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER
by Len Napolitano
How should I store unfinished wine overnight?
So, you cook dinner for yourself and you pick out a nice bottle of
wine, open it, and pour yourself couple of glasses paired nicely with
your meal. And you’re left with about half a bottle of wine that you
probably won’t pour until the next night. What do you do with the
leftover wine?
I’ll assume the cork pulled from the bottle has not been damaged,
or punctured through its full length. If it was, then you first need to
find a suitable closure, say, and old cork saved from another bottle
that is in pretty good shape. Also good are rubber wine bottle closures
sold in many wine shops and tasting rooms. You simply need a
closure that seals the bottle opening well – maybe not perfectly, but
good enough for the short term. Of course, if the bottle has a twist
cap closure, this is not an issue, as long as you haven’t already thrown
away the cap!
Now, if you plan to pour from this bottle the very next day, you
can simply seal it and leave it on your kitchen counter, under one
condition: the room temperature of your kitchen does not get above
normal room temperature (72 degrees) in the course of the next 24
hours. (If it does, put the bottle in the refrigerator.) So find a cool spot
for it and feel confident the next night that the wine will taste as good
as it did the first night. And don’t be surprised if, on the second
pouring, the wine’s flavors seem a bit more interesting than it did the
first night. Some wines noticeably improve with just enough exposure to air, like the amount it would see sitting inside a half full bottle
overnight. If your wine happens to be one of them, and there’s no way
to predict which ones will improve significantly, the second night’s
wine will be a real treat, assuming you enjoyed it on the first night.
But let’s say you aren’t sure about when you will re-pour from this
bottle. Maybe the next night, but most likely it won’t be for a few
days. Then you should refrigerate the bottle after re-closing it. Refrigeration will slow the aging process down enough for you to enjoy the
bottle again in several days. Don’t expect it to improve, however, as
10
the bottle left on the kitchen counter
overnight. It should stay as fresh as it
was the first night for two to three days.
More than this and it will begin a gradual decline through the process
of oxidation. Remember, the closure you use to re-seal the bottle is
not perfect. Some microscopic amounts of air will creep inside the
bottle over time.
Now for the gadgets. There are several tools on the market
designed to keep unfinished wine fresh overnight. One pumps the air
from the bottle through a slit on the top of a custom rubber closure.
This product works just fine, and will extend the life of the wine
longer than if nothing else was done, except to re-seal the bottle. So
you can add at least an extra day, may two, to the shelf life of the
unfinished bottle, again, assuming the room temperature does not
exceed 72 degrees.
Another gadget is a gas canister filled with a harmless and odorless gas. A tubular spout can be placed through the neck of the bottle
as you shoot a few hits of gas into the bottle. The gas pushes out the
oxygen and replaces it, acting as a preservative. You would quickly
seal the bottle with a suitable closure before letting the gas escape. I
have found this process to work very well and use it regularly. As an
added safety margin, I will refrigerate the wine also. Bottles will
remain fresh for four to five days, sometimes more.

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

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
PRAGER WINERY & PORT WORKS
Good Family Fun
by Richard Paul Hinkle
Nearly a quarter century ago, when Jim
Prager traded in his insurance executive tie for
the easy-going life of Port producer, little did
he know that his whole family would join his
whimsical, quixotic quest for vinous pleasure.
As producers of that delightfully
Portuguese dessert wine, the Pragers have
naturally focused on the reds. And they are
marvelous companions to all manner of postprandial exploration, from sharp cheddar to
chocolate soufflés (keep a close eye on the
oven temperature for your soufflés).
But don’t forget the White Port Prager calls
“Aria.” It’s the perfect Port for summer sipping,
being bright and brilliant with a yellow-gold
color and pear-straw aromatics. Made solely
from Chardonnay the 2006 vintage ($48.50)
shows a bit of orange peel, baked apple and
almond meat in the mouth, and a long, oily
texture that makes this – chill it just a little –
just right for the picnic basket’s potato salad.
“It’s too easy to get all caught up in the
notion of Port and the fireplace at Christmas,”
says winemaker Peter Prager, whose many
siblings are also intimately involved in the
family fun. “But you don’t want to overload
18
the donkey. Our White Port, especially, is the
ideal wine for summer cocktails. I mean, just
chilled by itself it’s a nice aperitif, along the
lines of a dry Sherry. Goes great with shellfish,
clam chowder, or a nice bisque. As a dessert
wine it’s really good with bread pudding or
crème brulé.”
But it’s as a summer cocktail that that
Prager’s “Aria” really shines. “The simplest is
just one part Port and one part tonic water on
the rocks with a twist,” says Prager. “One of
the family favorites is one we call Cotton
Candy, which is two ounces of Aria, one ounce
of Kern’s Mango Nectar, and a splash of soda
water. Another is Razz, which mixes two parts
Aria, one part each Chambord (Raspberry
Liqueur) and soda water, with a twist of
lemon. Or just try things out. It’s really fun.”
The Prager Tawny Port, called “Noble
Companion” ($65) is something of a standard,
showing off a “tawny” amber red color and
lengthy plum, peach and black walnut fruit
that lingers on the palate and definitely brings
to mind the comfort of a warm fireplace and a
thick slab of sharp cheddar.
There are other Ports of course – the “Royal
Escort” is one to look for, a marvelously dense
x
Petite Sirah that shows plum and blackberry
fruit, and a Late Harvest Riesling that matches
nicely with honeydew melon or almost any
fruit-based pastry.
The tasting room is a family character unto
itself, what with the Pragers’ devotion to
preserving the natural spider habitat in the
window over the sink, and Imogene Prager’s
specialty, caramelized walnuts (which, naturally, go rather well with their main product).
So, too, the Chocolate Port Drizzle and the
Port-filled chocolates, boxed and ready for
your enjoyment. It really is “family fun” at
Prager Winery and Port Works. Drop by and
see for yourself.
Prager Winery and Port Works is located at
1281 Lewelling Lane, St. Helena (just around
the corner from the Sutter Home tasting
room). Phone 1-800-969-PORT (7678), or
look in at pragerport.com. The winery is open
10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily.
[Hinkle is the author of nine wine books,
including Good Wine: The New Basics, which
strips away wine’s pretensions with good advice,
like “There are only three categories of wine: 1) I
like it; 2) I don’t like it; 3) I’ll drink it if someone
else pays for it!”]

WINERY FEATURE | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
LOUIS M. MARTINI
by Charles Neave
If you’d sit down and make a list of the
most influential names in the history of Napa
Valley wine lore, the name Louis M. Martini
would take it’s place in the very top rank of
pioneers, innovators, promoters and Wine
Country visionaries.
Louis Michael Martini was born in Italy in
1887 and moved with his family to San Francisco a dozen years later. He and his father
became backyard winemakers and the rest is
written in the history books.
The winery that still bears his name in
large letters was founded in 1933, the year
Prohibition finally ended, and since that
glorious day the winery began to successfully
establish a reputation for both innovation, on
one level, and quality, on every level. Today
they remain dedicated to producing world
class Cabernet Sauvignon from the very finest
vineyard properties in California’s most
famous wine producing counties: the Napa
Valley and Sonoma County. To this day some
of their most distinctive wines continue to be
made from grapes from the legendary Monte
Rosso Vineyard and other coveted properties.
But the Monte Rosso wines will always be
synonymous with the winery. Set a thousand
feet up in the Mayacamas Mountain range on
the Sonoma side, this vineyard has been
producing fruit for award-winning Cabernet
Sauvignon for three generations. Owned by
20
the Louis M. Martini winery since 1938, the
Monte Rosso vineyard (named for its rich, red
volcanic soils) is a steep, rugged, mountain
vineyard with western exposure that
produces wines with a unique sense of what
is universally referred to as terroir. To show
how this wine has endured over time,
constantly winning praise and awards, the
2005 Monte Rosso Cabernet Sauvignon
recently received got 91 points from the international wine critic Robert Parker, and is
currently available for tasting
These days the Martini family continues to
be an integral part of this prominent St.
Helena operation. Both Michael and Carolyn
Martini carry on the Louis M. Martini philosophy, with Michael as winemaker, a position
he has held since 1977. It is all part of a tradition that began years ago, and that Michael in
particular carries on, as his work on small lot
wines shows. Proof of this is the fabled No.
254 Meritage.
Michael and his team of winemakers
sourced top quality grapes from a carefully
selected group of Napa Valley grape growers,
then using the best of each vintage to make a
Meritage wine true to the style. Aged for two
years in 100% French oak, the wine displays
concentrated flavors of blackcurrant, black
cherry and spice. Needless to say it is made in
limited and quite coveted quantities; usually
just a few hundred cases.
The concept of Lot wines at Louis M.
Martini dates back to 1968 when Louis P.
Martini, Michael’s father, first made luxury
Cabernet Sauvignons from selected barrels
which he named by lot numbers. At that
time, Louis P. Martini (the son) was making
Cabernets in the league with other Napa
Valley greats like George De Latour and Heitz
Martha’s Vineyard.
The Martini Lot wines produced in the late
1960s and early ’70s were considered among
the most collectible of the Martini wines.
Today Michael is still able to access premium
Napa Valley vineyards and blend Cabernet
Sauvignons from the best mountain fruit
AVAs, just as his father did. The current
release Lot 1 Cabernet Sauvignon is another
excellent example.
“We believe that Cabernet Sauvignon is
the most noble of grapes. We believe that
great winemaking begins with great vineyards, and we want the land to speak through
our wines. Our wines express the best characteristics of Cabernet, the personality of the
special places where our grapes are grown,
and the vision and skill of the winemaker in
blending balanced, engaging, and memorable
wines,” Michael has said.
But to see just how memorable, you need
to taste, and the winery is well prepared for
that, offering a selection of tasting flights with
three wines per flight, as well as other tasting
options. They all highlight wines produced in
Napa and Sonoma counties including the
WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINERY FEATURE
Monte Rosso. There are also
optional wine and cheese pairings, plus one that includes
locally made chocolate truffles
with Cabernet, and what they call
the ‘Sweet Finish’. The latter
features their slightly effervescent, cold-fermented Moscato
Amabile (a wine they’ve made
since the Forties) paired with an
amaretti cookie. All told, they
offer at least ten different wines in
the tasting room throughout the
year.
The tasting room is a celebration of the history of this venerable vine-covered family winery,
while also offering a modern,
stylish, and most comfortable
spot to taste, right in the heart of
the Napa Valley. And be sure to
ask about the No. 254 Rosé, a
perfect summer wine. With hints
of cranberry, raspberry and
watermelon, it’s made with ten
percent Gewürztraminer, giving
it a refreshing and distinct finish.
There are also other wines available for purchase, many of them
available only at the winery or
through their wine club.
While you are there feel free to
wander outdoors to their shaded
tasting area. There is also a picnic
area and you can inquire about
tours if so inclined. It is here, at
the winery – and in the glass –
that you will discover why, for so
long, this winery has been called
“A Napa Valley Gem”.
So when you hear them say
“Discover legends in every
glass…” this is where you begin
to understand just what it is they
mean.
The Louis M. Martini Winery
tasting room is open daily, 10
a.m. to 6 p.m. Located at 254
South St. Helena Highway (Route
29) a mile south of the Wine
Country town of St. Helena, their
number is (707) 968-3362, or go

Perfect Pairs
BY MILLIE HOWIE
INSALATA DI SCAMPI, PAPAIA E MANGO
SHRIMP SALAD WITH PAPAYA AND MANGO
Chef Renzo Veronese
A Beautiful Pair –
Hop Kiln Insalata di Scampi
and HKG Rosé of Pinot Noir
In summer, when outdoor dining is at its peak, some of the more traditional menu choices often prove to have too many calories or too bland a
flavor to be appealing to the assembled guests. A lot of salad choices often
rely on a tangy dressing to lift them above the mundane and often these
dressings prove to be a bit wine unfriendly. That problem is easily taken
care of by preparing the recipe for Insalata di Scampi – Shrimp Salad with
Papaya and Mango – a favorite at Hop Kiln Winery especially when served
with the recently released HKG Rosé of Pinot Noir Russian River Valley
Estate 2009.
The salad features strips of papaya, mango and avocado, for a bright
tropical touch of color, interesting texture and luscious flavor. The poached
shrimp rest on a bed of sliced arugula, fennel and radicchio. The recipe
provides instructions for preparing the shrimp, with a note that if the cook
is short of time, most local markets offer shrimp that is cleaned and
cooked. The dressing is a simple mix of extra virgin olive oil and a light
vinegar. The HKG Rosé of Pinot Noir, a new addition to the HKG portfolio, owes its beautiful color to allowing the juice to remain in contact
with the skins for 36 hours. This length of time is just long enough to
capture the bright strawberry tint and characteristics of the wine, while
allowing it to retain its bright acidity and remain dry and refreshing.
The HKG wines are available only at the winery, through the website or
at the recently opened HKG tasting room in Glen Ellen. Priority for
purchasing HKG’s single vineyard and small production wines are offered
first to HKG Collection members. Application for HKG membership is
available at hopkilnwinery.com or by calling the winery at (707) 433-6491.
22
Paired with HKG Rosé of Pinot Noir
• 2 lemons
• 1 bay leaf
• Sea salt and black pepper
• 16 large shrimp, peeled and deveined*
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 4 cups baby arugula
• 1 firm ripe papaya,
peeled, seeded and cut into strips
• firm-ripe mango,
pitted, peeled and cut into strips
• 1 firm-ripe avocado,
quartered, pitted, peeled and cut into strips
• 1 medium bulb fennel, cored and thinly sliced
• 1 head radicchio, thinly sliced
Fill a medium saucepan with 2 quarts water and
squeeze in ½ a lemon, adding the rind, bay leaf and 1
teaspoon sea salt. Bring to a low boil.
Add shrimp and poach until just cooked through,
about 2 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
Squeeze remaining lemons into a medium bowl and
slowly whisk in ¼ cup olive oil. Add sea salt and
pepper to taste.
Put arugula, fennel and radicchio in a large mixing
bowl; add 2 tablespoons of the dressing and toss to
combine. Divide the greens among 4 serving bowls.
In the same mixing bowl, combine shrimp, papaya,
mango and avocado. Add the remaining dressing and
toss gently to combine; season to taste with salt and
pepper.
Divide the shrimp mixture among the serving bowls
and serve with HKG Rosé of Pinot Noir.
*Shrimp may be bought cooked and cleaned at your local
market.

Frank Family Vineyards – One You Won’t Forget
by Charles Neave
You honestly only need to know a couple
of things about the Napa Valley’s Frank
Family Vineyards. First, and foremost, is that
they make some of the finest, most sought
after, most coveted wine on the planet.
Second, is that when you travel to their Larkmead Lane tasting room about halfway
between St. Helena and Calistoga to sample,
you will have a memorable time and will
leave with a smile on your face. Lastly, the
setting, especially with their stunning new
tasting room, is outstanding. For all other
concerns return to number one. The wines
are simply that good, to which thousands of
24
loyal and returning wine loving fans will
readily – and most enthusiastically – attest.
I have said for years that of you want to
meet people in the Napa Valley and beyond,
simply have a bottle of Frank Family wine on
your table at a restaurant and let it go from
there. It’s an instant and very positive conversation starter anywhere in the world. It’s not a
cult as you might think of one; it is a matter
of infinite good taste.
But while praise for the winery, the wines
and for the tasting room may be completely
up-to-the minute, the history goes back over a
century-and-a-quarter. The year was 1884,
and the name on the building was Larkmead
Winery. Later, in 1906, that same building was
refinished with native sandstone quarried from
hills not far away. Today, it is deemed to be a
prime example of California Wine Country
architecture and as such is listed on the
National Register of Historical Places.
The expansive grounds, with the great
lawn, old and majestic oaks, roses and
trimmed hedges compliments the winery and
tasting room. Once inside the tasting room
the seriousness of the winemaking process is
balanced with good humor and as much (or
as little) information as you might want on
how grapes are magically turned into wine.
Today, this iconic property is under the
stewardship of Hollywood legend Richard
Frank, a recipient of an Emmy for lifetime
achievement. As chairman of Walt Disney
Television, president of Walt Disney Studios
for almost a decade and president of the Paramount Television Group (among other
endeavors) he expected perfection. It’s no
different at the winery that bears his name and
it shows. This can be seen most recently by
the renovation of the original home on the
property, which is now, through a series of
beautiful, airy and interconnecting spaces, the
tasting room. It is, in every way, a testament to
a new era at the winery, ushering in another
Golden Age.
As tasting room manager Dennis Zablosky,
a person so well-known in the Napa Valley
that no less a personage than the late Robert Mondavi once called him
a “wine legend” said, “I want visitors’ memories of the winery to be as
much about their experience here as the wines they taste.”
Those wines begin with the Chardonnay that people line up to buy,
year after year; a wine that is perfect to sip by itself or to serve with
food. As with all Frank Family wines it stirs up great emotion and
lingers not just on the palate, but in your memory.
Then there is the dense, spicy Zinfandel where the fruit seems to
combine dark chocolate and cracked black pepper notes with the
essence of raspberry, creating a wine that fairly explodes in the mouth
before leading to a long, lingering finish. It walks a brilliant tightrope
of flavors and aromas that are also characteristic of both the Cabernet
Sauvignon as well as the extremely limited production, palate-filling
Rutherford Reserve Cab, the latter aged for years in oak barrels at the
winery across the gravel walk from the tasting room.
Then, as if this was not enough, come the limited edition bottlings
of Reserve Chardonnay, plus a marvelous and food-friendly (and versatile) Rutherford Reserve Sangiovese, a Reserve Pinot Noir, the Reserve
Zin and, from the famed soil of Rutherford to the south, a Winston Hill
Red Wine that words cannot adequately describe.
Legendary winemaker Hans Kornell, who found international
recognition for his sparkling wines, once owned this estate, so today
they honor him by offering sparkling wines that include the Blanc de
Blanc and a rose-colored Blanc de Noir. With its’ subtle hints of cherry,
toasted hazelnuts and fresh strawberries, the Blanc de Noir is a perfect
wine for summer, for an elegant picnic, for a wedding, for a toast.
The point, I suppose, is that you cannot go wrong here. You will
have a great time, and if you are in the mood you will learn something
new. You will soak in the atmosphere and the attitude and, yes, most
of all, you will have some of the best wine of your life.
The tasting room at Frank Family Vineyards is located at 1091
Larkmead Lane south of Calistoga and north of St. Helena, between
the Silverado Trail and Route 29. They are open every day of the week
between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. For more information or for directions,
call them at 1-800-574-9463 or (707) 942-0859, or look for them on
the Internet at www.frankfamilyvineyards.com. Also note that for a
party of six or more an appointment is needed.

The Future Looks Bright for HKG Wines
Hop Kiln Winery Expands its Presence with a New Tasting Room
in Glen Ellen Featuring Russian River Valley Estate Wines
Hop Kiln Winery’s premier, HKG estate produced varietals has just
launched an exclusive tasting room in Glen Ellen. Prior to this new
addition in charming Glen Ellen, the only way to taste HKG wines has
been at the winery. While making the journey to Healdsburg to see the
glorious Hop Kiln Winery is always a special trip, wine aficionados
coming from San Francisco or visiting the town of Sonoma will be able
to visit and directly purchase the HKG wines without driving one hour
to the property. The new HKG Tasting Room will provide a unique
opportunity to sample Russian River Valley estate grown and
produced wines in Sonoma Valley. The HKG Tasting Room, across the
street from the popular Fig Café, will be will be open Thursday
through Sunday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The tasting room is located at
13647 Arnold Drive; (707) 938-7622, www.hopkilnwinery.com.
The HKG Tasting Room offers a selection of wines produced by
talented, young winemaker, Chuck Mansfield. Selections include:
Pinot Grigio Russian River Valley Estate 2009, Rosé of Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley Estate 2009, Chardonnay Russian River Valley
Estate 2009, and its award-winning, Pinot Noir Russian River Valley
Estate 2008, which recently took a Gold Medal at the San Francisco
Chronicle Wine Competition.
David Di Loreto, CEO of Vero Westside LLC, owners of Hop Kiln
Winery, is pleased to join the other tasting rooms in the Sonoma Valley
and provide another reason to visit the historic town of Glen Ellen.
“Sonoma County is renowned for its distinct varietals and appellations. Reaching out to guests visiting the Russian River Valley has
obviously been our sole focus until now. We think bringing our
Russian River Valley estate wines to our new HKG Tasting Room in
Glen Ellen greatly broadens the options for visitors to the region.”

Raymond Vineyards Launches an
Invigorating Tasting Room Program
by Chandra Grant
Located on Zinfandel Lane in the heart of
Napa Valley, Raymond Vineyards has been a
hallmark of the region since the early 1970s,
offering visitors an opportunity to experience
the history of a family winery with a quest to
produce iconic wines.
Today, the winery is going through a
modern day renaissance, complete with a
remodeled tasting room and new wine tasting
programs with vineyard and cellar tours. It’s
an extraordinary time to visit; their vineyards
are coming to life in the beautiful summer
weather as harvest nears.
We recently visited the winery and were
greeted outside immediately by a friendly
host. She shared with us the winery’s future
plans for the visitor’s center, including the
“Theatre of Nature,” an area alongside the
estate vineyard that will soon feature some
great attractions, including beautiful gardens,
bio-dynamic farming demonstrations and
much more.
Raymond Vineyards has begun using
28
sustainable and organic farming techniques,
which has a tremendous impact on the final
wines. In every aspect, they cater the experience to their visitors – they even have
installed a picnic table in the midst of the
vines to be enjoyed by anyone who purchases
a bottle of Raymond Vineyards reserve Generations Cabernet Sauvignon.
There are not many wineries like
Raymond Vineyards who offer such great
one-on-one attention. When we were invited
into the cellar for a tour and barrel tasting, we
had a unique inside look into how the winery
makes its wines, which we had the pleasure of
tasting afterwards in their new tasting room.
The room itself is incredibly inviting and
vibrant, with soft white walls and full-length
windows overlooking the vineyards. There’s
also a large, wooden table to accommodate
larger groups.
Raymond Vineyards offers a number of
tasting options, including Summer Whites,
Stellar Cabernets, Raymond Favorites, and a
special Vertical tasting that will change
weekly. All are available with a cheese pairing
for an additional $10. Tours include walks
through the vineyards and barrel tastings.
The winery also offers a beautiful grove,
perfect for the whole family to enjoy the wines
while playing croquet, badminton, basketball
and Petanque. Join the winery on August 14
for a special Paella Party from 5:30 to 8 p.m.
Raymond Vineyards is located at 849
Zinfandel Lane, St. Helena. Call to make an
appointment at 1-800-525-2659 or email
[email protected].

Though often – too often – overlooked, Suisun Valley is one of the
last of California’s remaining hidden gems, despite the fact that it is
barely a dozen miles from the City of Napa. But for years Suisun has
been known as a trusted and quality stand-in to the star winemakers
of Napa and Sonoma.
Now, with the recent introduction of Frank and Liz Vezér and their
best friends and partners, Sam and Mimi Mizirawi, things are
changing.
To begin with, the Vezer’s bought the 30-acre ranch and vineyard
formerly contracted to the “Sin Zin” people and “Ravenswood.” That
was followed in very short order by their purchase of the entire
Western “Pony Express” village of Mankas Corners, a property with
160 years of colorful history. Then they acquired Suisun Valley’s
Crown Jewel, the Blue Victorian in the very heart of this valley of
rolling hills, farms, pasture and vineyards.
Also a 160-year-old homestead, it has towering century-old date
palms and a gorgeous and, yes, a very blue Victorian manor. All three
locations are working winery sites, with some of the most unique and
hospitable tasting rooms you have ever experienced, stocked with an
array of good wines and staffed by people who are simply glad you
stopped by and who want to share the area’s history, stories and wines
with you.
However, what is the best part about the Vezér Family wineries and
this tranquil valley are their wines. There are the crisp, tropical fruit
whites that even red wine drinker would love, and then there are the
Vezér reds. Reds that are lush, jammy and with a silky smooth finish.
And all their wines pair perfectly with food; in my mind the ultimate
test of any wine.
All of the wines from Vezér and Blue Victorian have won awards,
and most of these awards are Best in Class, double gold and gold. “We
are thrilled that we have just won gold at the New York’s International
for their 2006 Cab,” said Frank Vezér. Also, at a blind tasting recently
held at the elegant Bay Leaf Restaurant in Napa, Vezér’s 2006 Cabernet
Sauvignon was unanimously preferred over a famous 97 point Napa
Valley Cabernet.
One cannot write an article on Vezér and Suisun Valley without
mentioning the La Salette, if it is not already known as the world’s
most exquisite Petite Syrah blend, it is certainly known as the world’s
most expensive, where a magnum of La Salette sold to two investors
for $30,000.00 in a live charity auction. Have no fear though, in the
tasting room a bottle is far more affordable price, though it is indisputably a wine for those special occasions.
But Vezér is all about hospitality and family, and this is the main
reason why Suisun Valley is being recognized as the “wine hospitality valley.” The Vezér family warmly invites you to visit all of the
twelve wineries in the valley, and to make it a full weekend destination. You can even plan a dinner at the Vintage Café, right next
to one of the Vezér tasting rooms, and spend the night in one of the
areas many fine hotels.
For more information on this special part of the Northern California Wine Country, go to SuisunValleyTheNapaBackroad.com for
more details. And be sure to visit the Vezér website at www.VezerFamilyVineyard.com for directions and your tasting (and tasting
room) options.

Tasting Room of the Week:
SUTTER HOME WINERY
by Karin Argoud
If Napa Valley were the Land of Oz, then
Dorothy would be chanting, “There’s no place
like Sutter Home! There’s no place like Sutter
Home!” This is one tasting room in the Napa
Valley that not only serves great wine, but the
friendly staff makes you feel like you’re “chez
vous.” Walking through the tasting room door
you feel yourself begin to unwind in the warm
and cozy surroundings. It’s the time to take a
deep breath, relax, and sip on a glass of Sutter
Home’s famous, refreshing White Zinfandel.
“Our visitors love coming here, because no
matter where they are from, they are comfortable here, and treated like family,” says Retail
Operations Manager Darcy Barboza.
The tasting room is located where the old
winery, built in 1874, once operated. A recent
renovation has given it a fresh feel, while
keeping the elegant and historic ambience.
The tasting room is gorgeous and serves an
array of wines for every kind of palette.
Indulge in a complimentary tasting of four
34
Sutter Home wines, or a choice of three wines
from the Main St. brand. There are also
tasting room exclusives you don’t want to
miss: the Reserve White Zinfandel grown in
Napa Valley, the Retro Zinfandel grown in
Amador County, and for guests who enjoy
sweet wines, there are many to choose from.
Fortified wine lovers can linger over the
Zinfandel Port and Triple Cream Sherry.
After savoring your tasting room experience, visit Sutter Home’s lush and lovingly
cared for gardens. Take a leisurely stroll
through the “White Zinfandel Rose Garden”
and bask in the scent of over 100 varieties of
roses and more than 40 daylilies. Smell the
sweet scent of a camellia planted in 1876.
Look up in awe at the massive palm trees that
tower overhead. Sit in the white gazebo and
admire the beautiful Victorian inn built in
1884. Once a family residence, it is now an
inn for distributors and special guests.
It was a Swiss-German immigrant named
John Thomann began Sutter Home in 1874,
as a small winery and distillery. In 1947, it
was purchased by its current owners, the
Trinchero Family. They resurrected Sutter
Home in 1948, imbuing the winery with their
values of hard work, ingenuity, humility, and
integrity. In the early 1970s, Sutter Home
became a household name with its creation of
White Zinfandel, and the second largest independent family-run winery in the U.S.
In between August 1, 2010 through
December 31, 2010, customers can participate in a capsule collection program, “Sutter
Home for Hope,” to help raise hundreds of
thousands of dollars for breast cancer
research, treatment and education. Just send
in capsules from any Sutter Home wine, and
in return, Trinchero Family Estates will
donate $1 per capsule toward finding a cure.
Mail capsules to: CMS Rebate Center,
Sutter Home for Hope Promo ID: SHFH10,
P.O. Box 426008, Del Rio, TX 78842-6008.
The Visitors Center is open daily from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, you can

Farmstead Restaurant Presents ‘Corkage for Community’ Grant
Last month, Chef Sheamus
Feeley made a grant presentation
to Jane Skeels, treasurer of the St.
Helena Community Pool board,
as part of its “Corkage for
Community” program. The St.
Helena Community Pool is the
only public swimming facility in
St. Helena.
Through its “Corkage for
Community” program, Farmstead has taken a distinctive
approach to restaurant corkage
protocol. Instead of the typical
$10 to $20 corkage fee charged
for opening a bottle of wine
brought to the restaurant, Farmstead collects a $2 fee for every
guest’s bottle. The unusually low
corkage fee is donated to a
different community-based notfor-profit organization each
month.
“Our corkage program is a
way we can promote Farmstead
as a community meeting place
and support our neighboring
community at the same time,”
says Chris Hall, one of Farmstead’s proprietors. “We want to
encourage vintners, growers and
wine enthusiasts to come to
Farmstead to show off their
wines while at the same time
contributing to our community,”
he added.
Founded in 1988, the St.
Helena Community Pool, Inc.
completely funds the operation
of the facility located at St.
Helena High School. The organization provides support for the
purchase of all chemicals and
supplies. In addition, it pays the
salaries of two part-time
employees who maintain the
filters, pumps, heater and other
equipment, clean and vacuum
the pool, and keep the deck area
safe and clean. The organization
relies on donations to ensure that
the groups using the pool,
including Red Cross, city recreational swimming, St. Helena
Swim Club, and U.S. Masters
Swimming do not have to fund
the maintenance of the pool.
Through the efforts of a small,
dedicated group of volunteers,
along with the financial support
of the community, the organization has been been able to offer
many of the services of a public
swimming facility.
Future “Corkage for Community” presentation evenings at
Farmstead include: Rianda
House in August (corkage for
June); Land Trust of Napa Valley
in September (corkage for July);
and the Nimbus Arts Center in
October (corkage for August).
Long Meadow Ranch Winery
& Farmstead is located at 738
Main Street in St. Helena. The
tasting room for Long Meadow
Ranch Winery in the historic
Logan-Ives House is open from
11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. For more
information, visit the website at
www.longmeadowranch.com.

Welcome to
CALISTOGA
Calistoga’s Brannan Cottage Inn – Relaxing, Casual, Comfortable
Brannan Cottage Inn is a charming Victorian Wine Country Bed and Breakfast, listed
on the National Register of Historic Places. It
was built in 1860 by Samuel Brannan, Calistoga’s founder and one of California’s early
entrepreneurs. Of the original 25 cottages at
his original Calistoga Hot Springs Resort, only
three remain and the Inn has the only cottage
remaining at its original location according to
the town layout developed by Brannan.
This Napa Valley B&B is located in the small, walkable, comfortable town of Calistoga, about 25 miles north of Napa at the top of
the wine country. Guests at the Inn have easy access to all Napa
Valley wineries, the three wine regions in Sonoma County (Sonoma
Valley, Alexander Valley and Russian River Valley) to the west and
northwest, and the burgeoning Lake County region to the north.
Distinguished by its intricate gingerbread, gable-board and scalloped ridge cresting, the inn features a broad wrap-around porch
and a private, shaded patio and garden on the north side of the main
building. On the south, sunny side we have a large lawn area (with

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | CALISTOGA
Golden Haven Hot Springs Spa and Resort
by Christin Piccin
When wine touring has tired you out, take a short detour from
Highway 29 beneath the lofty peak of Mt. St. Helena, for a nature
break at Old Faithful Geyser of California.
Just outside Calistoga, the Geyser’s peaceful garden “theater” is
ringed with tall grasses and feathery-leafed bamboo. In anticipation of
the imminent eruption, I found a shady seat at one of the many picnic
tables scattered about and closed my eyes. Only the songs of chirping
birds who were secreted away in the bamboo, were evident. Suddenly,
though, there was an ominous, throaty rumble. My eyes popped
open. The geyser was coming to life.
Centered in a small, grass-hemmed pond, the geyser had begun
coughing puffs of steam which dissolved into the warm afternoon air.
Then it started to gurgle and bubble like a witch’s cauldron. Suddenly
it sent up a few spurts three or four feet high.
After a few minutes of playful squirting, it erupted. It was as if
someone had opened a fire hydrant straight into the sky. A column of
350-degree hot water spouted from the rocky source, backlit by the
sun. As it peaked, the steaming water fanned out into miniscule
droplets that fell like shimmering diamond dust then disappeared,
leaving the pond as calm and serene as it was before the show began.
Hot springs and steam vents are numerous but there are only a
handful of geysers in the world that can be relied on to erupt
predictably and repeatedly. Old Faithful Geyser of California is one of
those.
Geyser owner Olga Kolbek, who has logged the geyser’s activity since
1983, noticed a surprising link between the geyser’s eruptions and
earthquakes. While the geyser spouts off at 40-minute intervals most
days, subsequent studies by seismologists have revealed that California’s
Old Faithful goes off schedule when earthquakes activity is imminent.
The geyser’s eruptions come farther apart and decrease in size, coinciding with earthquakes within 300 miles in the next few days.
Kolbek delights in sharing her vast knowledge of the geyser and of
local history, and is available by appointment for private tours. Likewise, a series of panels scattered through the garden area, plus a video
room explain the mysteries of California’s Old Faithful. The geyser is
located at 1299 Tubbs Lane off Hwy. 29 in Calistoga and is open 9
a.m. to 6 p.m., every day of the year. For more information, call (707)
942-6463 or visit www.oldfaithfulgeyser.com.

Andretti Winery – Like a Tuscan Vacation
Have you wished about taking a romantic Tuscan vacation?
Strolling through the vineyards, gazing at the amazing rolling hills?
Relaxing on a sun-drenched patio, glass in hand, admiring the
beautiful architecture of the Tuscan villa nearby? You don’t have to
get on a plane and travel several hours to find such a place, because
the Tuscan-inspired Andretti Winery is right here in Napa Valley!
When you drive into the Andretti Winery, the vineyards,
planting of trees and flowers, and the carefully aged look of the Villa
itself, all lend a certain and well executed Old World feel to the
experience that a visit brings. The fountain in the courtyard that
you pass as you walk toward the tasting room, the artwork of the
wrought iron balconies and the thoughtful and skilled landscaping,
all create an environment far removed from the hectic pace that
many visitors inhabit.
Andretti Winery offers guests a peaceful alternative to the often
bustling Napa Valley. When guests come into the warm and inviting
tasting room, they are greeted and treated like family. The goal at
Andretti is to craft wines that are excellent by themselves or paired
with a wide array of foods, and to be enjoyed with a meal today or
tucked away in the cellar.
Andretti offers a wide variety of incredible wines under their
Montona Reserve, Napa Valley and Selections Series labels, but they
are especially excited about the releases under their new Villa
Andretti label! Andretti Winery has sourced prime fruit from Napa
Valley and beyond for their new Villa Andretti label wines.
The 2008 Villa Andretti Dolcetto comes from prized vineyards
down in Santa Maria. The Dolcetto is reminiscent of the better reds
of Northern Italy, with its ripe stone fruit and mature berry aromas,
it will please the most discerning of palates.
The 2009 Villa Andretti Chardonnay came from a neighbor’s
vineyard just a mile down the road from the winery. The
Chardonnay has delightful flavors of green apple and pineapple
with a touch of spice. It is rich on the palate with hints of vanilla
42
and cloves that lead to a pleasurable finish.
The 2009 Villa Andretti Riesling is not your typical Riesling, as
it is not a sweet wine, but rather it is quite dry. The Riesling has
floral and lime aromas and a minerality that is evident in some dry
Rieslings. Clean and refreshing, this is the perfect wine for sipping
on the deck or paired with lighter dishes.
Last but not least, is the 2009 Villa Andretti Moscato – a classic
dessert wine. The Moscato is made from Orange Muscat grapes and
has a wonderful balance similar to the great dessert wines of France.
The aromas explode out of the glass exhibiting apricot, orange zest,
honey, clove and exotic spices.
From a simple but satisfying sampling of five Andretti wines in
the tasting room, to a custom experience that includes wine and
chocolate pairings, wine and cheese pairings, or a tour of the winery
and vineyard, they can tailor your visit to your schedule and your
desires.
Andretti Winery also has a wine club that is second to none.
With over 2,000 members, most who have been with the club for
at least a year, you know they are doing something right! The
Andretti Wine Club ships either three or six bottles every quarter
and is automatically billed to their credit card. Club members can
even customize what they receive on their club shipments. Club
members receive special discounts and offers for members only as
well as personal concierge cellar services for when they visit the
Napa Valley.
If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a secluded Napa Valley estate
or an Italian villa surrounded by vineyards, you’ll be delighted to
know that Andretti Winery is available for private events – from
corporate dinners and meetings to family functions.
The Andretti Winery tasting room is open to the public every day
from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m, and is located at 4162 Big Ranch Road in
Napa.
For more information and updates on special events (or to
schedule one of your own), call the winery at 1-877-386-5070 or
look at their informative website at www.andrettiwinery.com.

For the first time, Sonoma-Cutrer Winery opened its doors to the
public and showcased its newly renovated tasting room and offered
tours of its world-class winery. While Sonoma-Cutrer has been making
award-winning wines for more than two decades, this is the first time
visitors have the opportunity to see first-hand how its grapes are
grown and crafted into renowned wines.
Nestled in Sonoma County, Sonoma-Cutrer captures the spirit of
the Russian River Valley. The tasting center will be open Thursday
through Monday and tours will be offered by appointment. Guests will
be able to taste the wines while getting a behind the scenes look at how
Sonoma-Cutrer wines are crafted from the grape to the bottle. Visitors
will even have the opportunity to experience the world-renowned
croquet courts located at the winery.
“People have been inviting us into their homes for years, so we
thought it was time to invite them to our home,” said John Hudson,
Sonoma-Cutrer brand director. “We want to share our beautiful
winery, unique winemaking techniques and our wonderful SonomaCutrer experience with our consumers.”
Sonoma-Cutrer is best known for its successful and consistent
Chardonnays and its precise winemaking methods used to craft these
fine wines. Made in the traditional Burgundian style, Sonoma-Cutrer
follows a strict process of winemaking which ensures the highest
quality and craftsmanship and allows the wines to age well over time.
This precision also enables a consistent wine quality which has led
Sonoma-Cutrer to the top of the Wine and Spirits Restaurant Poll – for
19 of the last 21 years, Sonoma-Cutrer has been voted the #1
Chardonnay.
In 1991, Sonoma-Cutrer began making Chardonnay with the
theory to “do one thing and do it as well as you can.” Bill Bonetti, the
original founder and winemaker was inspired by traditional Burgundian winemaking and grape growing methods and instilled this
process into Sonoma-Cutrer. These methods, which have proven over
time to make the best Chardonnays, include planting with more
modern clones and trellis systems, spacing the vines close together,
and planting the rows at 207 degrees (true North) for equal amounts
of sunlight on the vine to encourage even ripening.
Over time, Sonoma-Cutrer has created major initiatives to ensure
it’s making the best wine possible including installing cooling tunnels,
sorting tunnels (which ensure hand sorting) and surlees aging (stirring
the barrels once a week to add body/mouthfeel). Additionally, the
winemakers studied French forests and oak stave seasoning to ensure
the winery uses balanced barrels to create finesse, spice, delicate touch
and balance with fruit as Sonoma-Cutrer is known for its consistent
quality in producing crisp, clean, lean, elegant Chardonnay. And
although Sonoma-Cutrer is known for its precise tradition, it is always
looking for the best means to improve quality.
Sonoma-Cutrer is one of the fine wines produced and marketed by
Brown-Forman Corporation, a producer and marketer of fine quality
beverage alcohol brands, including Jack Daniel’s, Southern Comfort,
Finlandia, Canadian Mist, Fetzer, Korbel, Gentleman Jack, el Jimador,
Tequila Herradura and Bonterra. Please enjoy them responsibly.

Tasting Room of the Week:
WILSON WINERY
by Charles Neave
The tasting room at Sonoma County’s
Wilson Winery really does have it all: there is
the restored tin barn facing rural Dry Creek
Road – itself a famous name among winemakers and wine lovers – a barrel room, the
comfortable and up-to-date tasting room,
and a long, broad, sweeping terrace that overlooks hundreds of acres of vines…grapes as
far as the eye can see. There is even the fluffy
black-and-white winery dog, Molly – another
member of the family of owners Ken and
Diane Wilson.
Today, the family owns and farms 220
acres of intensely flavored, low yield hillside
vineyards, all of them within the Dry Creek
Valley appellation boundaries. Winemaker
Diane Wilson gathers fruit from these diverse
properties to create her hand-crafted wines of
exceptional depth and intensity. Wines that
are in great demand and limited availability.
These estate vineyards are named for family
and the varietals planted in these vineyards
on land the Wilson’s began purchasing in
1980 – and planted in 1988 – include
Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet
Franc, Petite Sirah and Syrah.
As you know, it all begins in the vineyards,
where grapes are carefully hand selected
50
before being made into wine using traditional
winemaking methods. The grapes are
fermented in small, open-topped fermenters,
punched down by hand and aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels.
While it is certainly true that Dry Creek
has achieved world prominence for rich,
intense and often complex Zinfandels, at
Wilson Winery there are other options, all
red by the way (with one brand new exception, which we’ll mention later). Their reds
include a pair of Cabernet Sauvignons,
Reserve Cabernet Franc, Syrahs, Petite Sirah
and an intensely concentrated and very
limited-production Late Harvest Zinfandel.
To taste these wines for yourself head to
the old tin barn, an historic building that was
reborn in 1993 when the Wilsons bought it
to pursue their long-simmering dream of
making wine from their own grapes. “This is
proof that dreams do come true,” Ken is the
first to say. “By 1998 the complete winemaking operation was housed in our own
winery and it grew to include additional varietals.” The first wine to bear their own label
was the 1994 Sydney Vineyard Reserve
Cabernet Sauvignon.
“About nine years ago we opened a tasting
room on the backside of the old barn. When
you think ‘backside of the barn’ you don’t
picture that breathtaking, panoramic view of
Dry Creek Valley. But that is what you’ll find.
When you relax on the tasting room veranda,
it is easy to lose track of time as you soak in
one of the finest views of the valley, while
sipping a glass of our wine.”
During the summer this terrace is the
place for music on Friday nights. Called
“Finally Friday” it is a free event taking place
every three weeks (August 13, September 3
and 24). The terrace is also the spot to
sample their newest endeavor, the 2009
Alexander Valley Sauvignon Blanc, their first
white wine ever. Also note that they’re
hosting a release party the afternoon of
August 28.
But no matter the date, no matter the
season, both the deck and the tasting room
are a popular gathering spot year-round for
locals and visitors alike; to meet, to sample
the wines, to catch up on winery news, and
to relax and enjoy that splendid view.
The tasting room at Wilson Winery is
located at 1960 Dry Creek Road a couple of
miles from Healdsburg. They’re open daily
from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. For more information on tastings, the wine club, or special
events, call (707) 433-4355 or 1-800-4334602. You can also go to their website at

Explore Krave Jerky and
Wine Pairings at Sonoma
Enoteca Saturday, August 7
What’s new in Sonoma? Our Sonoma Enoteca Wines and
Krave Beef Jerky Pairings. (You’ve got to taste it to believe it.)
You’ve had wine and cheese pairings, wine and chocolate pairings,
but you probably haven’t had wine paired with beef jerky. Until now.
Krave gourmet beef jerky, the brainchild of Jon Sebastiani, has
become an incredible success since its recent launch. It is now carried
in hundreds of retail stores and markets. Thousands of bags were sold
online with wine.woot.com. Sebastiani has reintroduced the jerky as
a healthy snack that is moist, lighter in texture and color than traditional jerky. It’s made from domestic cut meat, is easy to chew and the
flavors are amazing.
Jon’s friend and fellow-winemaker Fred Favero, owner and
founder of Favero Vineyards and Wine Cave, is the managing partner
of Sonoma Enoteca, a wine shop that features ten boutique wineries
on the beautiful, historic Sonoma Plaza. With almost twenty wines
open for tasting every day, Sonoma Enoteca has a wide range of offerings. Wine to go with anything.
Even beef jerky.
Imagine the chili lime jerky paired with the refreshing, lemony
goodness of Solitude Chardonnay. Or the garlic chili pepper beef jerky
with the Favero Sangiovese and it’s white pepper wrapped in ripe
fruit. Or how about the lemon garlic turkey jerky with a Seabiscuit
Ranch Superfecta Meritage. Or a pineapple orange beef jerky with the
luscious grapefruit/pear/orange blossom flavors of the Grieve Sauvignon Blanc.
Before your friends start wondering how anyone could combine
wine and beef jerky, bring them to
Sonoma Enoteca on Saturday,
August 7. Sample five wines and
five jerkys for $5. You’ll taste wine
that has been specially chosen to
bring out the best in the jerky. And
the jerky will make the wine pop
in your mouth like never before.
Sonoma Enoteca is located at
35 East Napa Street at First Street
East. Open Wednesday through
Monday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.,
and on Tuesday from 3 to 6 p.m.
For more information, visit
www.sonoma-enoteca.com, email
[email protected] or call

Keeping up with tradition, Michael-David Winery will host its
annual Reggae & Rhone event on August 21 from 6 to 9:30 p.m. at
the winery in Lodi. Guests are invited to enjoy the Michael-David
Rhone wines, Caribbean food, music and entertainment. Tickets are
$65 or $50 for wine club members. The price for designated drivers
is $35.
The event will showcase the Michael-David Rhone wines, which
include the newly re-designed 2007 6th Sense Syrah, the 2007 Petite
Petit, Incognito and a
selection of additional
wines. Winery co-owners
and brothers, Mike and
Dave Phillips have been
growing Rhone varietals in
Lodi since 1984.
“This event is a great
way for us to showcase
what we’ve been able to
accomplish by growing
Rhone varietals in Lodi.
The varietals do well here
in Lodi and we’ve been
able to produce some
serious Rhone wines and
we like to show these off at
this
annual
event,”
explains Mike Phillips.
Reggae music will be
provided by The Itals, who will be traveling to Lodi from Jamaica just
for this special event.
Traditional Caribbean food will be served by Black Tie Gourmet.
And, guests will enjoy a fire show from Fire Pixie, a group of fire
dancers that perform exciting acrobatics.
Michael-David Winery is owned by brothers Michael and David
Phillips, who have built their Lodi winery into one of the fastest
growing wineries in the U.S. The Phillips released their first commercial wine in 1984 under the Phillips Vineyards label after years of
growing grapes for other wineries. Now celebrating more than 26
years as a winery, Michael and David have over 700 acres of vineyards
in Lodi. They pride themselves on their meticulous farming practices,
which result in superior quality in the bottle. Their hard work has
paid off and the wines regularly take top awards in wine competitions
nationwide. Michael-David Winery is located one mile east of Interstate 5 on Highway 12 in Lodi. For additional information, call 209368-7384 or visit the web site at www.MichaelDavidWinery.com.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | MONTEREY/CENTRAL COAST
FLEMING JENKINS VINEYARD & WINERY
By Charles Neave
It all began one day in 1999 when Peggy Fleming and her
husband, Greg Jenkins, planted a one-acre vineyard of Chardonnay
grapes at their home on a ridge in the Santa Cruz Mountains above
Los Gatos, not from far the farm where Peggy grew up.
The coastal Santa Cruz Mountains have long been known for its
famed winemaking potential. So after harvesting the fruit from their
own vineyard and tasting the winemaking results, it was not a
complete surprise when they discovered their dreams had come true.
They loved the wine. This inspired them to launch their own winery
– Fleming Jenkins Vineyards & Winery – and today they continue to
tend and nurture their first vineyard while making Fleming Jenkins
wines at the historic Novitiate Winery in the Los Gatos foothills, one
of the oldest continuously-operating wineries
in the Golden State.

Winemaker Profile: Cooper-Garrod
BILL COOPER
By Laura Ness
Edge-Testing with Bill Cooper at Cooper-Garrod
Winemaker Bill Cooper likes to experiment with what he calls “edge-testing,” a term
he uses to describe the process of making
small, incremental changes in vineyard and
winery practices to enhance wine quality. His
father, a WWII fighter pilot, might have
called it “pushing the envelope.” Of the winemaking process, Bill says quite candidly, “You
don’t arrive: you strive.” And strive he does,
looking for ways to elevate wine quality,
tweaking practices in the vineyard and the
cellar.
Becoming an entirely organic operation
has been a renewed commitment to the environmentally sustainable practices employed
in farming their fruit orchards since 1893. Bill
has been a steadfast promoter of water conservation, and with all the years of drought to
reinforce its importance, has leveraged the
organic playbook to increase fruit quality
while dry farming. They began seeding beneficial cover crops several years ago: in the
62
steep hillside environment, this has proved
highly successful in retaining moisture and
avoiding erosion. They mow the crop instead
of discing and are routinely adding nutrients
to the vineyard via organic compost from the
horse stables on the property. Theirs is an
idyllic example of the closed-loop farm where
most of the inputs are self-contained in a nice,
tight circle within which natural cycles play
out, without intervention by Monsanto.
Going certified organic has been both a
reward and a surprise. Bill says the first of
their 28 acres were certified in 2009 and he
has been most surprised by the sheaves of
paperwork required, and the need to change
suppliers who are not themselves certified.
Although it has proven to be a bit of extra
work, Bill feels it is a justifiable investment,
much like the solar panels they installed five
years ago, which have significantly reduced
their dependence on fossil fuels.
In the cellar, Bill’s edge-testing has
included experimenting with co-fermentations of Syrah and Viognier, as is done in the
Rhône region to add more fruitiness to the
meaty Syrah. He’s been fine-tuning different
barrel aging regimens, has gone exclusively to
French oak and has been adding a few more
blends to the lineup which has been
primarily single-varietal focused. For
many years, the only blend was the famed
R.V.s Fine Claret, a mainstay since the mid
1970s when his father, George, began making
wine here above what used to be called
“Valley of Heart’s Delight,” long before the
days of Silicon and concrete.
Bill’s upcoming “Masie’s Peak” blend with
Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, pays
homage to the beautiful neighboring open
space preserves where hikers can still enjoy
sweeping views of the valley below. Just three
decades ago this valley was a sea of white and
pink blossoms that filled the air with
fragrance and promise each spring.
The Cooper-Garrod cellar now holds the
promise of this and other “edge-testing”
blends of Cabernet and Syrah, a combination
Bill has come to enjoy, and thinks you will,
too. And then, there is the promise of Pinot,
as fruit from the recently grafted two acres of
clone 777 makes its way from barrel to bottle
to your waiting glass.

About Santa Cruz Mountain Winegrowers Association
The Santa Cruz Mountains has been recognized as a premium
wine producing region since the late 1800s when local winegrowers first began to win acclaim for their wines in national and
international competitions. Few of these original wineries
survived prohibition, but many new wineries have developed
since the 1940s. In 1981 the Santa Cruz Mountains Viticultural
Appellation became federally recognized, one of the first American viticultural areas to be defined by geophysical and climatic
factors. There are now more than seventy, small, family-owned
wineries in the region. The small size of these operations allows
the winemakers the opportunity to handcraft their wines and to
maximize the potential of the grapes. The same spirit of innovation, independence and determination that distinguished the
great winemakers of the 19th century lives on today.
