INTELLIGENCE fOr THE WINE CONSUMEr


BY LEN NAPOLITANO

Which wines are compatible with a wide variety of foods?


This question arises often when I am out to dinner with a group of people. I am asked to pick a wine for the table that will satisfy everyone. This is almost impossible, not only because each person has their own preference for wine, but also because each will choose his or her own dinner independent of the others, which will invariably result in a wide variety of foods on the table. The problem therefore becomes how to satisfy as many people as possible with one wine selection. Depending on the number of people at the table, one way to approach the task is to order at least one type of white wine at least one type of red wine. This is always my first choice when dining with more four or more people. The wines I like to select on these occasions are light-bodied whites and medium-bodied reds. For white, I find Sauvignon Blanc to be very versatile with

almost all fish, vegetarian and chicken dishes. This wine typically has a crisp, refreshing feel and doesnt dominate food flavors. People who say they will only drink white wines will pretty much always feel comfortable with a Sauvignon Blanc. With the red wine selection for a group there are two roads I can take, depending on the style of restaurant were in. If meat and game dishes and other big, flavorful meals dominate the menu, I like to make the red choice a blended wine. This could be one of many different blends, such as Cabernet Sauvignon combined with Merlot, Cabernet with Shiraz or Cabernet with Sangiovese. These wines combine richness of flavor with a smoothness that will appeal to many red wine drinkers. If, however, the menu is mostly middle-of-the-road style with pastas, chicken, light sauces and salads, I will usually select a Pinot Noir as the red wine. This wine is probably the most versatile of all reds, and will usually appeal to both red and white wine lovers. When dining in French restaurants, you can call out for a red Burgundy and know you will get a Pinot Noir. When you are unsure of which wine to order with a large group, these suggestions will help your odds of pleasing the most people. In a quality restaurant, there is usually a wine expert on hand who can make suggestions, and you should feel free to take advantage of their knowledge of the menu and their wines that pair best with it.

BY JOSH STEIN

If I Could Keep Time in a Barrel


June brings heat, and with it, lots of things happen in the cellar. Over the winter and into early spring, with cellars cold, wines in barrel tend to slowly blurb along, the yeasts gently doing their thing with the last percent or two of residual sugars or the bacteria finishing up the conversion of malic to lactic acid, both of which are good for aroma and mouthfeel, but come the warmth of late spring, the wines in barrel come alive again because heat speeds up reactions just like in your high school chem lab which means decision time once again. For whites, generally Chardonnay but occasionally Sauvignon Blanc or another oaked variety, this is when the secondary malolactic fermentation finishes if it has not already, and with the exception of those who are going for a long time in barrel, this is when the previous falls white wines are bottled. Some whites, like Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling, generally made in steel the whole time, would be released immediately, the freshness and vibrancy preserved for exactly how appealing these wines are when young. Most producers, however, would bottle oaked whites and then allow them to age under glass for at least a few months, if not longer. This is not just about bottle shock from bottling, which does tend to mute or cause otherwise great wines to taste a bit off for a month or two. No, the anaerobic conditions actually allow the wines to again undergo a slow maturation, bringing out more mouthfeel and complexity through the lack of oxygen. This is why the wines wake up when opened they have returned to aerobic conditions, activating bouquet and flavors through the reintroduction of oxygen. Red wines, of course, take a parallel but different trajectory than the whites. Just about all reds spend time in oak, and spring will mean time to transfer, or rack, again as every few months barrels need to be topped up to reduce the oxygen of headspace, and the best way to address this is to conslidate into fewer barrels. This causes a gradual reduction of the overall wine in the cellar as barreled wines are racked out of their homes and then into either a new barrel or a tank, some folks deciding to maintain the integrity of each wine lot while others allow for a general mixing in a larger tank before going back to individual barrels again. Any given red spends eighteen to twenty-four months in this cycle, and along the way, each racking creates a natural fining effect as particles fall out of solution and end up in the belly of each barrel. These lees provide for complexity but also possible microbial contamination, which is why the monitoring of each wine in barrel and as it is racked is most important of all we can taste and smell problems far quicker through sensory monitoring, and knowing that Spring brings warmth, and warmth speeds things up, simply means paying closer attention rather than necessarily doing anything at all. As I hope is clear, the reality of winemaking is that every step of the process presents a series of options. Regardless of which are chosen, or not, each time the winegrower chooses to tweak or not, to rack or not, how often, the logistics of the racking, etc., all leave an impact on the final wine. While the processes are scientific, measurable, and generally predictable, the application is where experience and creativity come to the fore. Those willing to experiment intentionally create an alternate path for their wines, choosing differently at the moments above, while those calling themselves minimally impactful or conservative seek to decide or disturb as little as possible. There is no one right answer, which is what makes winegrowing so much fun. If we knew all the answers ahead of time, thered be no point in doing it since wines tend to have mnds of their own. Consider that when you pop the next bottle and enjoy!

Two Winemakers, One Goal: Great Grapes into Great, Affordable Wines
BY JOSH STEIN

Open daily fro 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 1001 Silverado Trail South St. Helena, CA 94574 (707) 963-7000 www.hillwinecompany.com

St. Helenas Hill Wine Company has a very simple operating philosophy: bring the best to bear to produce great wines. Jeff Hills obsession with growing great grapes for others via the Jeff Hill Vineyard Group led to his own winery, created with wife Rebecca, and their goal of providing high quality green Napa wines at a great price. Everything produced is from sustainably farmed or organic grapes and comes in certified organic and recycled packaging. Hill Wine Company donates 2% of its proceeds to the ASPCA and is also a proud member of 1% for the Planet in which 1% of their total revenue is donated to environmental causes. To help bring his vision of affordable and sustainable Napa wines to life, Jeff brought in two industry veterans, Philippe Langner and Brian Brakesman, and the combination of their different yet very similar perspectives on non-intervention have led to much success. Director of Winemaking Langner was trained at his familys French estate and at UC Davis before spending time at Chateaux Lafite Rothschild under famed international winemakers Jacques Boissenot and Michel Rolland. These experiences led to his seven years at Napas Sullivan Vineyards, where Jeff Hill stole him away in 2008. Philippes philsophy is perfectly in accord with the winerys: Get the best fruit and intervene as little as possible during winemaking to let the fruit speak for itself. Doing so requires the kinds of experiences he has had with the finest of Bordeaux grapes, especially knowing what not to do so the flavors shine through. Where Langner brings European influences to the table, Estate Winemaker Brakesman is a Napa native, having been born and raised at his

familys Summit Lake Vineyards on Howell Mountain, and the process of making great sustainable wines are his birthright: I learned every step of the winemaking process. I developed, almost by osmosis, a deep knowledge of sustainable, responsible winemaking. After attending Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, he worked with famed winemaker John Gibson, producing wines for Snowden Vineyards, Andrew Geoffery, and Salexis, among others. After a position as Assistant Winemaker for Duckhorns Paraduxx, Brian went on to become Ledsons Winemaker, which is where Jeff found him, bringing him into the fold for his extensive knowledge of the ten different Napa subappellations used in the Hill Company releases. Unsurprisingly, these two great winemakers Hill Wine Company Estate Cabernet, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc releases have gathered high praise as affordable luxuries, and the Craftsman-inspired tasting room along the Silverado Trail is a warm and welcoming place to try them. For those seeking exceptional experiences, the winery will be conducting team building projects with Bordeaux blending seminars and Be a Winemaker for a Day programs very soon. They recommend contacting them directly so that a custom, memorable visit can be set up for you in St. Helena. Whats not to like? Two great winemakers, the best organic and biodynamically farmed grapes, and awesome wines. Enjoy!

MATRIX WINERY 3291 Westside road, Healdsburg CA 95448 (707) 433-1911 | 1-888-884-1288

Founded in 2007 by Diane and Ken Wilson of the Wilson wine dynasty, Matrix is a small winery located on Westside Road in the Russian River Valley. Their tasting menu features multiple Pinot Noirs as you might expect, but they also produce several Bordeaux varietals and blends. Planting new Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes not only adds to the growth of the various Wilson vineyards, but it also makes Matrix shine as a Russian River Pinot House. In 2009, just two years after opening, the Sonoma Harvest Fair awarded Matrix Best of Class for its 2004 Matrix, a Bordeaux blend. This wine is exactly what distinguishes our Matrix wines, says Ken Wilson. It carries a signature robust energy, tempered by elegance. Winemakers Diane Wilson and Antoine Favero have combined their talents, giving Matrix wines a little something special in their small-lot productions, anywhere from 99 cases up to 250 cases. Many of their award-winning 2010 vintages including a Pinot Noir, Reserve Pinot Noir, two Zinfandels, a Petite Sirah and a Chardonnay, received gold medals from various wine competitions throughout the country. The tasting room and adjoining patio are the perfect destination not only for wine tasting, but to join in and help celebrate events. Saturday, June 22, is the date for the annual Matrix Vineyards Wine Club Picnic. Celebrate summer and join the tasting room staff for a day of sun, gourmet food, and of course, delicious Pinot Noir. Picnic in the vineyard or on the patio with fellow club members and the Matrix winemakers Diane Wilson and Antoine Favero. Not a wine club member, it is never too late to sign up! An ongoing event this summer is the annual Summer Music Series Saturdays from 1 to 4 p.m. The monthly music series features Mark McDonald performing acoustic blues on June 15. The remaining three shows in the series include guitarists Brandon Hassur on July 20, Jimmy Ashley on August 24 and Cameron Peterson closes out the series on September 21. Admission to the Summer Music Series is $10 per person ($5 for wine club members) and includes a commemorative logo glass. Gourmet food carts are available at every concert. Whether you stop by Matrix for the music or the wine, a world-class wine tasting experience is always available.

A Perfect Day Sonoma Valleys Gateway


Sonoma Valley, home to scores of wineries, groves of olive trees, natural hot springs and some of the most fertile soil in the country, is truly a garden of earthly delights. Three unique properties, occupying both sides of Highway 121 at the gateway of Sonoma Valley, combine the beauty, bounty and passion of the Sonoma experience. Cline Cellars, Jacuzzi Family Vineyards and The Olive Press are three unique venues united by their authentic spirit, warm hospitality and exceptional tasting opportunities. Just five miles from the junction of Highway 37 and 121, the Italian-style stone villa that houses Jacuzzi Family Vineyards and The Olive Press can be seen on one side of the road, and on the other are Clines vibrant vineyards and rose gardens. All three properties are owned and operated by longtime Sonoma residents, Fred and Nancy Cline. Fred Clines agricultural roots reach back to his grandfathers ranch in Oakley, California. Freds grandfather, Valeriano Jacuzzi, instilled in his grandson the love of farm life and the particular mysteries of turning grapes into wine. Fred and Nancy established Cline Cellars in 1982 along the sandy shores of the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers in Oakley, and relocated the winery to Sonoma in 1991. In 2007, Jacuzzi Family Vineyards opened its doors across the street, under the same roof as The Olive Press.

Jacuzzi Family Vineyards


Begin your perfect Sonoma day with a wine and olive oil tasting at Jacuzzi Family Vineyards and The Olive Press. The main door to the villa opens to the winery tasting room on the left, and to the right is the artisan boutique and tasting bars of The Olive Press. Enjoy complimentary tastes of Italian-style wines and varietals like Barbera, Montepulciano, Pinot Grigio and Aleatico. For a deeper experience, arrange a private or VIP tasting in the stone piazza or private tasting room and enjoy wines paired with locally made artisan cheeses and charcuterie.

The Olive Press


After your wine tasting, cleanse your palate with samples of fresh, aromatic olive oils and balsamic vinegars at The Olive Press. Founded in 1995, The Olive Press is Californias most-awarded producer of California extra virgin olive oil. Enjoy complimentary tastes of oils ranging from delicate to grassy to robust, or flavored oils like clementine and jalapeo. Pair these oils with unique balsamic vinegars like peach and black cherry for some extraordinary flavor combinations. The boutique also offers unique gifts, table linens, bath and spa products, and even a cart of olive oil ice cream. Before you depart the villa, be sure to wander through the barrel room and admire the marble statues and frescoes, read through exhibits about the history of the Jacuzzi family, and visit the glorious Neptune fountain along the edge of the vineyards.

For an outstanding tasting experience, book the Syrah Hill adventure. Youll wind along the vineyard roads to a hilltop tasting room with panoramic views of the valley.

As you sample the wines at Jamieson Ranch & Vineyards Home of Reata, it should not be a surprise to discover that this property has been used to farm and raise cattle for almost two hundred years. Formerly part of General Mariano Vallejos historic Rancho Suscol, it is, to this day, a 300-acre working ranch, where cattle still roam the hills and sheep graze on the cover crops between terraced vines. The organic honey that the 60,000 resident bees produce in the hives on-site is available in the tasting room, along with their award-winning wines. Like the wines themselves, the building that houses the tasting room, state-of-the-art winery and special event space is handcrafted of stone and different varieties of woods, from the tasting bar to the exterior walls and interior beams. There is seating around a cozy fireplace, an observation gallery overlooking the barrel room and production area, and a spectacular wrap-around veranda that affords sweeping views of the Napa Valley and San Pablo Bay, where days are warm, nights cool and an ocean breeze whisks away the morning fog. Conditions that are optimal for growing the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir Reata is famous for. The wines here artfully combine the different elements of the winemakers craft to capture the true California expression of each of the award-winning varietals. We also believe that if its worth doing, its worth doing right, with pride and craftsmanship that stands the test of time. Those wines include small lots of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Viognier, Petite Sirah and Syrah. To try the wines, step up to the bar. At the tasting bar there are a number of tasting options, served by an enthusiastic staff. Beginning June 1, Reata introduces a new food and wine experience showcasing sophisticated comfort food. The winery chef uses produce from their own organic, edible gardens along with seasonal local ingredients in unique, rustic, yet refined, menus. For the true wine lover, there are Barrel Tour and Tastings, a memorable experience for up to a dozen guests. You and your friends will have the opportunity to sample, among other wines, two that are currently being crafted, all while learning about how the wines are made. The winemaking philosophy at Reata is simple: make great tasting wines that remain true to their varietal character. To achieve that goal, Reata provides its winemakers with the freedom and resources they need to make each bottle of wine the best it can possibly be.

Whitehall Lane Celebrates 20 Years of Family Winemaking


A lot has changed at Napa Valley winery Whitehall Lane over the last 20 years, but one thing has been constant the Leonardini family owners who are the backbone of this world-class wine-making operation. This spring, the Leonardini family celebrates 20 years of family wine-making at Whitehall Lane, and a commitment to wine quality that has produced exceptional results. Whitehall Lane has been honored three times for producing wines rated in the top five in the world, as judged by Wine Spectator Magazines year-end rankings. And the winery has been selected as Winery of the Year by the Quarterly Review of Wines and Wine and Spirits Magazine. Of course, the early days of Whitehall Lane were not quite as glamorous. The first years after Tom Leonardini Sr. bought Whitehall Lane in 1993, a lot of hard work went into building the foundation for the success that the winery now enjoys. Whitehall Lane General Manager Michael McLoughlin remembers his first days working at the winery 20 years ago. His desk was positioned below a leaky section of the winerys roof, and he worked next to a bucket that caught the dripping rain. The Leonardinis spent long hours upgrading the facilities, replanting the vineyard and buying new wine-making equipment. They even cut back on wine production as they focused on the quality of the wine-making process, said McLoughlin At 20 years, the Leonardinis are celebrating the past, while planning for the future. The winery will be here 20, 30 years from now, said Katie Leonardini. This is a good spot to be in now. In 1979, two brothers started the Whitehall Lane winery and directed their winemaking efforts successfully to Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. They named the winery after the road that runs along the south border of the property. In 1993, the Leonardini Family of San Francisco took control of the Whitehall Lane estate. They updated the winemaking, instituted a new barrel-aging program and continued sourcing the finest vineyards. The family now owns seven prime vineyards including the Whitehall Lane Estate Vineyard, Millenium Vineyard, Bommarito Vineyard in the Rutherford Appellation, the Leonardini Vineyard, Fawn Park Vineyard in St. Helena and the Oak Glen Vineyard in the Oak Knoll District. The winery continues to receive accolades and awards for producing some of the greatest wines in the world. In Wine Spectator Magazines year-end ranking of wines, Whitehall Lane has been honored an unprecedented three times in five years for producing wines rated among the top five in the world. The winery has also been voted Winery of the Year from the Quarterly Review of Wines and Wine and Spirits Magazine.

But the family has done so much more than just put money into the winery. Led by Tom Leonardini Sr., the familys indelible mark of hospitality, attention to detail and commitment to quality is imprinted through their hands-on approach to running the Napa Valley business. That investment has paid off in superb wines. Tom Leonardini is thinking about Whitehall Lane 24 hours a day, seven days a week, said McLoughlin. Today, three Leonardini family members continue to shape the present and future of Whitehall Lane. Tom Leonardini Sr. is still the hands-on owner. Tom Leonardini Jr. oversees national and international distribution. And Katie Leonardini handles direct sales, hospitality and marketing. And the family ethic of quality over quantity still guides Whitehall Lane. Despite a permit to double their 50,000 case annual wine output, Whitehall Lane has decided to keep production stable.

Then its off to the VJB Vineyards & Cellars to taste their wonderful Italian varietals and for a little lunch from their Mercado. They are serving delicious grilled paninis and pizzas from their brick oven, and have great picnic tables in the patio of their brand new Villagio. After a short drive across the valley, you will arrive at Repris, Sonomas newest and most exciting winery (open by appointment only). Their friendly crew tours you through their facility and into their enormous 18,000-squarefoot caves for barrel tasting. Then they load you into an ATV and whisk you through the vineyards to the top of the mountain. Youre now looking down at the entire valley with views spanning all the way to San Francisco. What a jaw dropping view! Now for a little pampering, Fairmonts Willow Stream Spa, offers a wide array treatments to sooth your stress away.

All of us at Vezer Family Vineyards are ready to let our hair down for our Vezer-Stock Festival this July, said Frank Vezer, who with his wife Liz, owns Vezer Family Vineyards and Winery. This will be a laid-back festival style concert with a relaxed feel, or if you like, you can do what old hippies do and sit under an umbrella and have Chef Peter serve you from the grill! In addition to Chef Peter, various restaurants and food trucks will also be providing food. The concert has limited seating capacity (blankets and lawn chairs are welcome) and is expected to sell out quickly. Additional information is available on the website or by calling the tasting room at (707) 429-3958. Vezer Family Vineyard was established in 2001 when Liz and Frank Vezer decided to produce their own wines and created their first Zinfandel vintage in 2003. Since then, they have produced 10 additional award winning vintages. Their approach to winemaking was created by Franks father, Frank Vezer II, using a method that consists of balancing opposing elements to create wines that are dynamic, complex and embody the classical ideals that define the worlds finest wines.

Louis M. Martini Winery

254 Saint Helena Highway, St. Helena CA 94574 (707) 963-2736 | louismartini.com Winery Tour: $30 per person for a 45-minute tour and wine tasting. Get a behind-the-scenes look when you visit Louis M. Martini Winery, and taste hand-selected wines along the way. Learn more about the Martini family's pioneering history in Napa Valley, see where we craft our wines, stop by the barrel room and raise a glass in our underground cellar. Advanced reservations are preferred. Contact our tasting room at (707) 968-3362.

Luxurious Cabernet Sauvignons are what people envision when they think of Napa Valley. Michael Martini, third generation winemaker for Louis M. Martini Winery, has been producing exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon for over thirty years. Using family traditions, international style and cutting-edge technology, he is continuing the long success of the Louis M. Martini wines. Located just off Highway 29 in St. Helena, Louis M. Martini created his winery in 1933. This year marks 80 years of the Martini family crafting Cabernet Sauvignon, the flagship wine of Napa Valley. With the simple, honest premise that the best grapes make the best wines, Louis M. Martini set out to acquire the finest vineyards in what is now one of the worlds most renowned wineproducing regions. Their legacy continues with Winemaker Mike Martini at the helm. Since the beginning of his tenure in 1977, he brought a new winemaking philosophy, while honoring the winerys roots and commitment to delivering big, unforgettable wines. Reflecting on his international experiences, Mike stated, Having traveled to France in 1981, I began instituting new techniques starting with extended maceration in all reds, and stem return in Merlots and Pinot Noirs. Later, we incorporated trellising practices I saw in South Africa. Some of our present barrel aging techniques started after observing what some of the top wineries in Europe were doing. All of this resulted in wines that create more mid palate and have more elegance and grace. The purchase by E&J Gallo Winery in 2002, has given Mike additional man power and necessary lab capabilities. We are focused on the acquisition of top vineyard sourcing from Napa and Sonoma. We have access to more vineyards but winemaking was left relatively untouched except for the ability to expand our high end capabilities with our small micro winery, Cellar 254, a gravity flow winery. Mike says. When asked about his favorite wines, his response was My favorite wines are of course the Monte Rosso wines, as well as Lot 1. Both of these have grown in quality in an impressive way due to the building of Cellar 254. The Monte Rosso labeled wines were started in 1979 but we have been making Cabernet Sauvignon wines out of the vineyard since 1938. After the building of Cellar 254 in 2003 we have achieved a new level of finesse and style. Louis M. Martini wines have more of an international style than most California wineries and through collaborative endeavors and state-of-the-art facilities; the Martini family continues to build on a timeless tradition.

YOUNTVILLE
New Woven Glass Sculpture from William Zweifel at RASgalleries
On the heals of last falls successful Artist Reception and Show with William Zweifel, three new and original woven glass sculptures by the artist have been unveiled and are now available at RASgalleries Art Glass Gallery, 6540 Washington Street, Yountville, Napa Valley. Each is uniquely Zweifel combining a colored weave that appears to have fallen into place and fitted perfectly on a separate cast glass base. Fascinated by the fluid movements possible in kiln-fired glass, William Zweifel was drawn to the idea of actually finding a way to weave glass, giving his sculptures a new dimension and tactile quality. Years of experimentation, and a lot of broken glass later, he has William Zweifel perfected a true glass wave that has become the hallmark of his work. in studio as he fires and forms his weave. Tranquility as produced by the gentle movements of a line calls to mind memories of spring breezes and summer shadows, he says. It is the same feeling, the calmness, that I seek to recreate in glass. A native of Chicago, Zweifel now works from his studio in rural southern Wisconsin. He has been working in glass full time for many years and continues to explore his vision. Glass provides permanence, the ability to freeze a moment in time so that it can be examined and explored, Zweifel says of his work. At the same time I find in its very fragility, a metaphor for the fragility of our existence. Being able to freeze these moments in time, in such a delicate medium offers me an opportunity to create the tranquility that I find so comforting. Largely self-taught, Zweifel feels fortunate to have worked with many successful artists in their studios and has attended Pilchuck Glass School to further develop his skills. No one else does work like this and I am honored to be one of the few galleries in the country to carry the work, states gallery owner, Ronda Schaer. Established in 1990, the gallery features American art glass as well as fine art and sculpture. Located at 6540 Washington Street, RASgalleries is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, Tuesday by appointment.

Castello di Amorosa
Tour the authentically-styled, 13th century, Tuscan castle and winery.
BY CHArLES NEAVE

After years of planning and tens of thousands of hours of labor, Castello di Amorosa in the northern part of the Napa Valley opened. And its like no American winery you have ever visited, and offers winery tours like none youve ever taken. Its a castle where banquets are held, wine is produced, aged and tasted, made from premium grapes grown at Black Mountain District vineyards, and the views of the Valley spread out before you. All from this magnificent 121,000square-foot, 13th century era, Tuscan-style fortress perched on a hillside above the valley floor. The construction of Castello di Amorosa employed talented

craftspeople from America and around the globe, and more than a little patience from owner Dario Sattui, also the founder of V. Sattui down the road a few miles. The below-ground portion of the tour starts in the wine storage caves, then wends its way through four levels and includes the Armory, Torture Chamber and the Grand Barrel Room. Youll taste the highly rated and medaled Castello di Amorosa wine, most sold only at the winery or via the internet. Guided tours are given every day and take about an hour; tasting is an additional 45 minutes. There are also additional tasting options, blending seminars and private tasting that include food and wine

Robert Mondavi Winery Kicks Off 44th Annual Summer Concert Series with 100th Birthday Celebration, June 29
Martina McBride to perform at June 29 Cen'tanni concert presented by Pandora Jewelry

Huey Lewis

Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers

This June, Robert Mondavi Winery kicks off its 44th annual Summer Concert Series with a festival featuring five top musical acts. With June 18 marking what would have been the 100th birthday of Robert Mondavi, country singer and songwriter Martina McBride will begin the series with a performance that celebrates Robert Mondavis contributions to the wine industry throughout the Napa Valley and beyond. Now a much-anticipated wine country tradition, the annual concert series began in 1969 by Margrit Mondavi. Given Bobs love of uniting friends and family over a celebration of food, wine and the arts, I couldnt think of a better way to honor his 100th birthday than by continuing the Summer Concert Series here in the winerys backyard, said Margrit Mondavi, vice president of cultural affairs at Robert Mondavi Winery. The combination of diverse musical styles, world-class wine and the backdrop of the beautiful To Kalon Vineyard is a truly unique tradition that I know Im not alone in looking forward to celebrating. Throughout the festivals 44-year history, more than $2 million in proceeds has been raised to assist a number of Napa Valley-based organizations. Proceeds from ticket sales of this years series will directly benefit the Napa Valley Unified School District High School Music Programs. In celebration of the 100th birthday of Robert Mondavi and presented by Pandora Jewelry, the festival begins June 29 with the Centanni performance and fireworks show, headlined by Martina McBride. McBride, recipient of a Grammy and four CMA Female Vocalist of the Year trophies, brings more than two decades of country music tradition to the Napa Valley. The concert series continues on July 6 with the Cool Climates of Carneros concert, headlined by alternative rock group Lifehouse. With a number of hit Billboard singles, including Hanging by a Moment, Lifehouses performance will showcase old favorites and a collection of songs from its new album, Almeria. On July 12, theA Night Like No Other: Celebrating Fume Blanc concert will welcome pop-rock star Huey Lewis. Raised locally in Marin County, Lewis (of the platinum-record-selling group Huey Lewis and The News) brings his American rock style to the winery as part of the Sports 30th Anniversary Tour. On July 13, Robert Mondavi Winery welcomes Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers for the Spotlight on Oakville celebration. Grammy-winning songwriter and former Grateful Dead member Bruce Hornsby brings his Noisemakers group to Napa for an expressive, soulful performance, displaying the groups eclectic and multi-genre encompassing sounds. The final performance of this years Summer Concert Series takes place on July 20 with ZZ Ward and Delta Rae for the Ode to To Kalon celebration. Blues-influenced singer-songwriter ZZ Ward and alternative-pop Americana folk group Delta Rae co-headline to combine their multifaceted sounds and energetic personalities.

Let Stagecoach Express Ship Your Memories Home


BY CHArLES NEAVE

Long gone are the days when you could stash a couple of bottles of Cabernet or Chardonnay in your carry-on bag for the flight home. Besides, in all likelihood the bottle or two you had set out to buy had suddenly crept closer to half a case or a case, and even if it was a viable option, do you want to tote 40 pounds of wine through the terminal and onto the plane? I think not. That is when you call or stop by Stagecoach Express in Napa. The business, started more than two decades ago, was acquired by Sue Bailey and Larry Rupp in 1998. Let us ship your Napa Memories home is their mantra. And that is exactly what they do. They package up those bottled memories and make sure they get safely to your home or office. One thing that sets them apart is that, when you call Stagecoach Express, you always get an owner on the phone. We specialize in shipping wine all over the country, or at ST. HELENA least to most of it, Sue says. Customer service and attention Varozza CHARLES KRUG RATT to detail is what we are known P
DAVID FULTON BERINGER
MADR ONA N FULTO

for. We take care of it right away and pay special attention to every shipment. We also send emails to customers when their shipment is sent, and call them to make sure someone will be home to receive it. One further service they provide is that they will pick up your wine from Napa Valley wineries, hotels, private residences and bed and breakfasts, and ship it off for you. In addition to packaging and shipping wine, they also offer fax and photocopy services and, if you need one, theyll get a notary for you. Theyll even recommend wineries to visit if you are curious about searching out new places. If youre planning ahead and know that you will have some bottles to send home, you can go to their website and download their shipping form. Just another part of a business where service, and the customer, means everything. The Stagecoach Express office is just off of Highway 29 (take the Redwood Road exit) at 3379 Solano Avenue in Redwood Plaza, Napa 94558. They are open every day except Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (on Saturdays 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.) For more information call (707) 257-1888 or (877) 232-5054, or go to www.stagecoachexpress.com.

Summer Concert Series at Rodney Strong Vineyards


B.B. King and dwight Yoakam to make their debut Performances
The 23rd annual concert series at Rodney Strong Vineyards builds upon its stellar reputation of legendary musicians, a beautiful concert setting and award-winning wines. For 2013, the concert series includes Rodney Strong first-timers Dwight Yoakam and B.B. King along with season opener Michael McDonald and other top names in contemporary jazz. For details, visit www.rodneystrong.com/concerts. This terrific triad reassembles with the June 18 release of Human Nature on Heads Up International. This long-awaited sequel spotlights BWBs reimaging of eleven selections made famous by the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Tickets: VIP $90 / GA $60

sunday, August 4: dwight Yoakam


Few entertainers have attained the iconic status of Dwight Yoakam. His name immediately conjures up compelling, provocative images: A pale cowboy hat with the brim pulled low; painted-on blue jeans; intricate, catchy melodies paired with poignant, brilliant lyrics that mesmerize with their indelible imprint. Then theres Yoakam the actor, who seemingly melts into his roles, impressively standing toe-to-toe with some of the worlds top thespians: Jodie Foster, Tommy Lee Jones, Forest Whitaker, Nicholas Cage. Yoakams latest album, 3 Pears, balances his country core with a fiercely independent embrace of rock, Americana, pop and soul. It blends Yoakams respect for his musical predecessors with the collaborative assistance of modern singer/songwriter Beck, who co-produced two tracks, and current rocker Kid Rock, who co-wrote the hooky opener, Take Hold Of My Hand. Tickets: VIP $115 / GA $75

saturday, June 22: michael mcdonald


Two notes. Thats all it takes to recognize the voice of Michael McDonald. Distinctive and soulful, it is one of the most emotive instruments of our times. Add to this McDonalds formidable songwriting and keyboard skills, and you have an artist who has been a singular musical presence for four decades. From 70s-era Doobie Brothers classics such as What A Fool Believes and solo hits like I Keep Forgettin through two highly-acclaimed Motown covers albums, the five-time Grammy-winning McDonald is that rare thing in contemporary pop an artist whose work is both timeless and ever-evolving. Tickets: VIP $115 / GA $75

saturday, August 3: BWB rick Braun, Kirk Whalum & norman Brown
Individually, they are three titans of contemporary music: Rick Braun, the gifted trumpeter/flugelhornist with the golden voice; GRAMMY Awardwinning tenor saxophonist Kirk Whalum, the Memphis-born artist who mixes Beale Street, gospel, the blues and bop; and Norman Brown, the GRAMMY-winning guitarist who brings a Louisiana lilt to his Wes Montgomery/George Benson influenced six-string soulful strut. They came together eleven years ago as the supergroup known as BWB and their historic album Groovin, made them one of the most sought-after groups at that time.

saturday, August 17: dave Koz and Friends summer Horns tour with mindi Abair, gerald Albright & richard elliot
Eight-time GRAMMY nominee and saxophonist extraordinaire Dave Koz typically spends every summer on the road, bringing a stellar group of musician friends along with him. This summer hes assembled an all-star lineup of saxophonists: Mindi Abair, Gerald Albright and Richard Elliot. Tickets: VIP $90 / GA $60

sunday, september 1: B.B. King


His reign as King of the Blues has been as long as that of any monarch on earth. Yet B.B. King continues to wear his crown well. At age 87, he is still light on his feet, singing and playing the blues with relentless passion. Time has no apparent effect on B.B., other than to make him more popular, more cherished, more relevant than ever. Dont look for him in some kind of semi-retirement; look for him out on the road, playing for people, popping up in a myriad of T.V. commercials, or laying down tracks for his next album. B.B. King is as alive as the music he plays, and a grateful world cant get enough of him. B.B. continues to tour extensively, averaging over 250 concerts per year around the world. Classics such as The Thrill Is Gone, How Blue Can You Get, and Everyday I Have The Blues are concert (and fan) staples. Tickets: VIP $115 / GA $75 Season passes and individual concert tickets are on sale by calling (707) 869-1595 ext. 4 or through www.rodneystrong.com/concerts. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the Rodney Strong Vineyards Tasting Room. Doors open at 4 p.m., shows begin at 5 p.m. Rodney Strong Vineyards Wine club members enjoy an exclusive reception before the shows and at intermission, as well as $5 discount on each ticket price.

The tasting room is open daily from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 10295 Westside rd, Healdsburg, CA 95448 (707) 433-5499 | www.moshinvineyards.com Tours are available by appointment. Tasting fee $10, waived with purchase.

visit moshin vineyards for a tour of the unique gravity-Flow system for making Pinot noir! There are four-tiers built into the slope of the land utilizing the power of gravity for moving the wine through each stage of production. for more information, call Julia Lander at (707) 433-5499, ext. 104 or email julia@moshinvineyards.com.

Rick Moshins winemaking style reflects much of his inherent personality traits attention to detail, dedication and integrity. His goal is to gently guide sustainably farmed fruit though the winemaking process to produce a wine that expresses an unadulterated view into the heart of the vine. In 1977, Rick Moshin began making wine as a hobby. He had already become an avid brewer, acquiring numerous accolades and awards for his various beer recipes. Employed as a math instructor by day, Rick began making wine at home during his off hours. A friend once inquired about the many wine barrels stored in Ricks garage to which he replied, Well I cant afford to buy the wines that I like to drink, so I guess Ill just have to make them. To enhance his accessibility to quality grape sources, Rick worked part time as a grape broker from 1979 to 1994, matching up winemakers with grape growers throughout California. To this day, Rick still purchases grapes from some of the sources he discovered outside of Sonoma County. With a goal to attain perfect fruit, Pinot Noir in particular, Rick decided that he should be farming the grapes himself, and in 1989, with the help of his family, Rick purchased a ten-acre lot of Pinot Noir in the heart of the Russian River Valley and set to work farming his new vineyard on weekends to perfect his Pinot Noir grapes. And so began the story of Moshin Vineyards. For the first few years, some of the fruit from Moshin Vineyards was sold to local Pinot Noir producing pioneers along Westside Road. With the remaining grapes, Rick made about 300 cases of his own Pinot Noir each year, which he sold in between teaching math classes in San Jose. During summer breaks, he would go to France to learn more about the Burgundy region and the secrets behind the elegance and finesse of the Pinot Noir grapes coming from there. The plans for his own winery began forming, and in order to make the type of timeless wine he dreamed of, he would have to build a winery capable of creating Pinot Noir using a gentle touch by utilizing gravity-flow. The gravity-flow method was commonly used in Europe for moving wine through the winemaking process, but not a technique readily found in America. So, the mathematician began searching for a property close to his vineyard along the Russian River. The land needed to feature a slope suitable for gravity-flow wine production as well as terroir that would be optimal for an additional planting of Pinot

Noir. In 2001, Rick found the ideal site for the winery, a location on a gentle slope located half a mile from the vineyards on Westside Road. From 2001 to 2004 still commuting to and from San Jose State University Rick worked weekends and summers on his property to prepare for the new winery all the while continuing to farm his original ten acre vineyard and make his wine at various custom crush facilities. In 2005, the first grapes crossed the threshold of the new state-ofthe-art Moshin Vineyards Winery, with Rick retiring from teaching the following year to run his new winery full time. With the future in mind, the following sustainability practices were soon

implemented at the winery: solar power, in-house nitrogen production, high efficiency steam cleaning and lees collection. Moshin Vineyards specializes in small lot, hand crafted wines focusing mainly on Pinot Noir. They also produce Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Petite Syrah, Zinfandel and unique dessert wines.

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.

Growers Pouring at Muscardini Cellars, June 29


Growers Pouring is a monthly event at Muscardini Cellars in Kenwood featuring a selected wine and a representative from the vineyard designate. On Saturday, June 29, Bill Sanderson, vintner and proprietor of Madrone Ridge Winery will be onhand pouring from 2 to 4 p.m. This will be an opportunity to receive in-depth knowledge of your favorite varietal and the vineyard from which it is made. Tasting from the barrel will also be available. In planting Madrone Ridge vineyards, Bill returned to his roots as a Texas farmboy. Although Bill oversees all operations of the winery and vineyards, he can most often be found tending his vines.

The charming and much-loved schoolhouse was around in the 1860s when Abe Lincoln was president. Visitors will be thrilled to see what is inside now! With a large deck facing east toward the Mayacama Mountains, you can taste the award-winning Italian varietals, and more, while watching the sun rise and set. Picnic tables in the big backyard, will welcome friends, family and their dogs. Inside the room you can enjoy not only Michaels great wine, but also local delicacies such as Sondra Bernsteins delicious jams, Bonnie Tempestas biscotti, the finest Italian salami and of course, local cheeses with fresh bread. Guests will also be able to enjoy a rotating selection of artwork. If you are lucky, Michael Muscardini and Beni, his loveable 94-pound golden retriever, will greet you at the door! Muscardini Cellars Tasting Room is located at 9380 Sonoma Highway in Kenwood, CA 95452 and is open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, call (707) 933-9305 or visit the website at MuscardiniCellars.com.

Santa Cruz Mountains Passport Day, July 20


The Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association invites you to enjoy the wineries of this extraordinary appellation during Passport Day on Saturday, July 20! Passport Days to the Santa Cruz Mountains was introduced in 1993, by the Winegrowers of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Four times a year the winegrowing community of the Santa Cruz Mountains comes together to celebrate the generations of farmers, vintners and families that are the roots of the Santa Cruz Mountains wine region. Over the last 20 years the event has become a beloved tradition among wine lovers who enjoy wines produced by our legendary, artisan winemakers all within the idyllic Santa Cruz Mountains. The third Saturday of January, April, July and November, passport guests are welcomed into 30+ wineries throughout the Santa Cruz Mountains, each offering a unique pairing of artisan handcrafted wines, gourmet food and entertainment. Take a vineyard tour for a grape-to-glass look at Santa Cruz Mountains wine. Meet the winemakers, grapegrowers and sample exclusive vintages from wineries generally not open to the public. Delight in discovering each winerys unique Passport theme, a tradition of the event. The possibilities are as varied as the wineries themselves and promise a fun, unforgettable weekend. Enjoy!
