INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER


BY LEN NAPOLITANO

Why are some wines blended?


The term blend refers to a wine composed of two or more different varietal wines. Technically, even a single-varietal wine is built from a blend of wines: though the wines are made from the same grape variety, they may have come from separate vineyards, fermented with different yeasts, or aged in a variety of barrels. Whether using the same variety or a combination of different ones, blending builds a more interesting wine. Perhaps the most famous blended red wine in the world is French Bordeaux, a blend of two to five different grapes, frequently including Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Bordeauxs other red blending grapes are Petit Verdot (contributes color and structure), Cabernet Franc (contributes structure and richness of flavor) and Malbec (contributes flavor and some sweetness). The reason Bordeaux winemakers, among others, blend Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon is to soften, or round out, Cabernets palatedrying texture. Cabernet can have more aggressive tannin, an astringent quality in red wine derived from grape skins, seeds and stems during maceration and fermentation. Cabernet Sauvignon grapes naturally develop more tannin than Merlot, so blending them lessens Cabernets rigidity. There are also red wines made in Bordeaux from a single grape variety, as well as delicious white wine blends made from the Sauvignon Blanc and Smillon grapes. In the Rhne Valley, another legendary French region, blending a small amount of white wine with red wine makes the aromatic, deeply colored Chteauneuf-du-Pape. It is made from a blend of up to 13 different grape varieties, including Syrah, a red grape and Viognier, a white wine grape. Additionally, Australian and American wines have had great success blending Syrah with Cabernet Sauvignon. The breakdown in percentages of the varieties that make up a blend may be indicated on the label, depending on the country of origin, though it is not required for American wines. Finally, when producers in the United States make a blended red wine using the same grapes as a classic Bordeaux-blend wine, they are permitted to identify the wine as Meritage (rhymes with heritage), a unique, and legally protected term.

BY JOSH STEIN

Trellising: Shaping Wines Before the Grapes


Every grape vine pretty much looks like every other one, right? Well, while driving past them it may seem to be the case, but the truth is small differences in the shape of the vines can have major impacts on wine quality, yield, bouquet, taste and mouthfeel. Believe it or not, the shape the grapes are grown within has a major but often unrecognized impact on what ends up in your glass. Trellising is dirty, un-sexy work, but its the lifeblood of growing great wines. The canopy is what converts sunlight into wine, so its vital on many levels. Each style of trellising has to take into account a number of variables along the way to creating a structure which allows for vine balance; thats whats key to producing grapes with lots of flavor without damaging the vine or its roots through stress, over- or undercropping, or mismatching vine to location. These options include number of shoots per vine, number of leaves per shoot, number of clusters per shoot, orientation toward the sun, shading of the grapes via the canopy and the overall shape of the canopy, which is determined by the guidewires of the trellis. There are dozens of possible combinations in commercial use today. There are two basic kinds of trellising, though, vis--vis various ways of positioning the shoots vertically to maximize access to sunlight while maintaining less vigorous growth in poor, infertile soils, or different styles of dividing the canopy vertically or horizontally to control for vigorous growth in soil too-good for grapevines. What? I sense you thinking: How can soil be too good? Everything youve absorbed about growing things the right way is the opposite for winegrowing. Soil that is too good encourages excess leaves and excess fruit. The former stresses the vine and keeps it from putting its energy into the grapes. The latter dilutes the flavors in the resulting wines. When winegrowers talk about Balance is key, thats what they mean: all of the elements are properly enfolded together. Some of the more common vertical shoot positionings, known generally as VSP , take the forms of candelabra. Guyot divides the vine quite low to the ground, leaving just two canes regrown each year below guidewires, to which shoots will attach themselves. VSP generally makes the arms permanent, allowing for spurs on the arms from which the vertical shoots grow, and Cordon goes one step further with its permanency, with the shoots generally positioned up, over, and then back down so that the clusters are shaded from direct sunlight. In contrast, divided canopy trellising is designed to try to take away excess growth by making the vine work harder for what it does put out. Winegrowers do this by creating more sections with more canes, shoots, and/or cordons. Scott Henry creates multiple vertical canopies, making the vine work twice as hard. California Sprawl separates the canopy in two, flopping large sections of growth to each side; Lyre uses movable guide arms to open or close the V and the flop. Genva Double Curtain creates four cordons for each vine, doubling vine energy needs horizontally in contrast to Scott Henrys upright, split form. Do the range of options really matter? Absolutely, as the trellis style alone has been shown to have an impact on all levels of wine expression: softening or hardening tannins; adding or removing flavors, aromas and range of ripeness options; effecting yield, concentration and vine life. The term winegrowing is a bit of a linguistic oddity, for sure, but as you can see, its absolutely appropriate. One of the reasons its quite fair to say civilization is wine is that, unlike just about everything else we produce, wine requires our constant attention even long before a single grape is harvested or a bud breaks. Cheers!

ARMIDA WINERY
Wines to Remember at a Place Youll Never Forget
BY SUE STRAIGHT, THE WINE WENCH

2201 Westside Road, Healdsburg, CA Open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (707) 433-2222 | www.armida.com

The owners and staff of Armida Winery describe it as wines to remember in a place youll never forget I must agree Ive been a fan for years. It is where the locals in the wine biz hang out, including this Wine Wench. Armida Winery is definitely an unforgettable place! Located not far from Healdsburg on Westside Road, Armida Winery sits atop a vineyard-striped knoll. Wind your way up the driveway and you are in for a real treat! To start with, the views from the oak-shaded deck/picnic area and bocce court are unforgettable the Russian River Valley unfolds before your eyes in a glorious patchwork of vineyards, trees and hills. The winery itself is a geodesic dome, the practical reason, according to designer Buckminster Fuller, would be that The sphere uses the doing more with less principle in that it encloses the largest volume of interior space with the least amount of surface area, thus saving on materials and cost. The Armida reason is Cause it looks cool. The Healdsburg tasting room is light, bright and airy feeling, with an octagonal shaped wooden bar that is staffed by friendly and knowledgeable servers. There is a private tasting area upstairs for group tastings (by appointment only) and on certain summer Saturdays, live music and Bruces BBQ fare livens up the picnic area. Owner, Bruce Cousins, says the 2012 vintage could well be the vintage of the decade, and the 2012 Maple Vineyard Zinfandel, 2012 Bacigalupi Vineyard Pinot Noir, 2012 Gold Mine Ranch Zinfandel and 2012 Durrell Ranch Chardonnay are not to be missed. For 13 years, there has also been an Armida tasting room on the Esplanade in Capitola. At this storefront location, visitors can enjoy all of the fantastic Armida wines, the easy-going, friendly staff and an incredible ocean view. Brothers Steve and Bruce Cousins purchased controlling interest from Steve Frugoli in 1994 and have brought a whole new meaning to the term family owned winery. They are actively involved in all aspects of the winery in fact, Steve and Bruce often pop into the tasting rooms to meet their visitors. These guys love what they do and it shows the whole atmosphere at Armida Winery is one of delicious fun, with a bit of mischief thrown in. The wines are seriously good, but the folks at Armida Winery dont take themselves too seriously. Take it from me, do not miss this wonderful place! The Capitola tasting room is located at 101 Stockton Avenue in Capitola, and is open for tasting Monday-Tuesday from noon to 6 p.m., Wednesday-Friday from noon to 7 p.m and Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

THE HESS COLLECTION


Simply Unlike Anywhere Else
BY JOSH STEIN

Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 4411 Redwood Rd, Napa, CA 94558 (707) 255-1144 | www.hesscollection.com

Trust me: the Hess Collection is unforgettable and unique; its the one place I insist on taking my own first-time visitors to the Valley. Though first established for winemaking on Mount Veeder in the 1860s, the original winery building was hewn from native mountain stone in 1903, and it still houses part of the Hess Collections art. Todays Hess Collection began between 1978 and 1982, when Donald Hess acquired nine hundred acres on Mount Veeder, setting aside about two thirds for wildlife corridors, fish-friendly farming practices and encouraging biodiversity. Opening to the public in 1989, the winery has sought to work with the land, focusing on sustainability. To start, the Hess Collection hosted the first Natural Farming Symposium for vineyards in 1992, and the winery piloted 2002s industry-wide Code of Sustainable Winegrowing Practices, making it one of the first seventeen wineries to operate in this way. This initiative led to the Hess Collections being one of the first ten wineries to be certified in 2007 by the Napa Valley Vintners Association under the Napa Green Winery and Napa Green Land programs, and it remains one of only a few wineries to have both Land and Winery certifications. The idea behind this has been not just to support the environment but also to show that better wines are the result, and ones which speak to their origins. The resulting range of releases is astounding, really. The Hess Collection Mt. Veeder wines show off this unique mountain in Napa with the highest elevation, coolest growing season, and most geologically diverse soils of any growing area in the Napa Valley. Bottlings include The Hess Collection Cabernet, the 19 Block Cuve and Chardonnay. The Hess Napa Valley releases draw upon special fruit chosen from vineyards on the valley floor, including a Cabernet and Sauvignon Blanc, from Hess Allomi Vineyard, and Chardonnay from the Suskol Vineyard. The Hess Select bottlings of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Treo Winemakers blend, Pinot Noir, Malbec and Sauvignon Blanc utilize estate fruit combined with that from grower partners who utilize the winerys sustainable practices. The Artezin series features heirloom varieties that offer terroir-driven Carignan, Charbono, Mourvedre, Petite Sirah, Verdelho and Zinfandel. Perhaps the most exciting from both a winemaking as well as wineenjoying perspective is the Hess Small Block series with almost a dozen specially selected wines to display winemaking finesse with less familiar varietals. This shows the estates range for growing premium grapes the Hess Collection way, including Gewrztraminer, Malbec, Orange Muscat, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, to name a few. What one gets in each bottle is a wine that is a true expression of the varietal. The Hess Collection Art Museum is equally as impressive and focused. Donald Hess began collecting artwork in 1966, and the Hess Collection today houses less than one quarter of the total. The winery and art museum are open daily, and while there is a nominal charge for tasting,

the museum is complimentary, with self-guided iPod tours available, too. Offered daily at 10:15 a.m. is the Morning Museum Walk which is a docent-led tour with a complimentary Current Release tasting included, reservations suggested. In addition, there are many unique and varied experiences which require reservations, and they shouldnt be missed. Daily options include a Private Tour and Wine Tasting; the Tour of the Palate, which combines a guided tour of the art museum, with a wine and food pairing prepared by Hess Executive Chef Chad Hendrickson; the Tour, Wine and Cheese Pairing; and the Wine and Chocolate Experience, a tour and tasting paired with chocolate truffles made in house. Most Sundays, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., you can enjoy the Sunday in the Library tasting and sample seldom-poured, limited-release wines paired with small bites in the private library of The Hess Collection, just off the West Gallery of the Museum. Offered one Sunday each month is the three-hour Wine Educational Tour and Tasting Tutorial. Also, when the weather permits, the Courtyard Wine and Cheese Tasting in the Garden, is available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with reservations suggested.

The Largest Tasting of American Rhone Wines


Craneway Pavilion, Ford Point, Richmond, April 6, 2014
The Rhone Rangers are moving across San Francisco Bay to the spectacular and historic Craneway Pavilion at Ford Point, for the 17th Annual Bay Area Grand Tasting on Sunday, April 6, 2014. The day will celebrate the craftsmanship of 100+ American winemakers who will pour over four hundred Rhonevarietal wines. Guests will be able to enjoy spectacular views of the bay and city skyline from the recently renovated architectural gem built more than 80 years ago by Henry Ford as an assembly plant for automobiles. Small plates of iconic American fare will be available from Assemble Restaurant, under the direction of Richard Mazzera, an alumnus of Chez Panisse and the owner of Cesar in Berkeley. Over 2,000 wine lovers and members of the trade and media are expected to attend the Rhone Rangers tasting. Tickets are now on sale at: www.rhonerangers.org. The move to the Craneway Pavilion provides us with a worldclass venue, breathtaking views of San Francisco Bay, and greater accessibility with improved parking, highway access and public transit options for our attendees, explained David Gates, President of the Rhone Rangers Board of Directors. Private ferry service will be available for our San Francisco-based fans for a safe and fun way to travel to-and-from the event. For those who would prefer to use BART we will provide round-trip complimentary shuttle service to the Craneway from the El Cerrito BART Station. There are also thousands of parking spaces available for attendees who will be traveling by car from the North Bay, East Bay, Sacramento and South Bay. My vision for the renovation of Ford Point, including the stunning Craneway Pavilion was to utilize the award winning architecture of Albert Kahn and offer the ultimate San Francisco Bay Area special event venue, perfect for food and wine events. The Rhone Rangers wine event adds to the realization of this vision and we are thrilled that they have chosen the Craneway as the new home for their signature Bay Area event, said Eddie Orton, Orton Development Inc. Orton undertook the $40 million restoration of the historic Ford Assembly Plant several years ago to create a state-of-the-art event center that would capitalize on its landmark architecture and unique waterfront site to attract dynamic events to the East Bay. Tickets are now on sale and the public is invited to purchase them online at www.rhonerangers.org. For more information, call 1-800-467-0163.

Mumm Napas Newest Photography Exhibit Champions Pioneering Bay Area Fine Art Photography
Photographs by more than 20 artists who emerged from the first ten years of the California School of Fine Arts (CFSA) in San Francisco, including works by Pirkle Jones, Ruth Mandel, Ira Latour and John Upton, are now on display in a new exhibit at the Fine Art Photography Gallery at Mumm Napa in Rutherford. Titled The Golden Decade: Photography at the California School of Fine Arts, 1945-1955, the exhibit runs through July 13, 2014, at the winerys Fine Art Photography Gallery. The CFSA photography program, established in 1945 by Ansel Adams and developed by Minor White, was the first academic department in the country to teach photography as a fine art. Notable instructors, including Edward Weston, Dorothea Lange, Imogen Cunningham and Lisette Model, placed equal emphasis on aesthetic sensitivity and technical expertise, inspiring their students to create stunning images that captured the lives, emotions and scenes of post-World War II America.

Blend Your Own Custom Wines with Judds Hill


Visiting Napa Valley is always a treat. And as great as it is to sample offerings from some of the worlds most popular wineries, weve discovered a wine country excursion that may be even better crafting your own personal Napa Valley Cuvee! In 2009, the Finkelstein family of Judds Hill had the forwardthinking idea of creating a Bottle Blending Day Camp experience (BBDC for short), during which visitors to their winery, located at the southern end of Napas Silverado Trail, can actually craft their own, personal, Napa Valley Bordeaux-style blend. The wines used for this blending experience currently include barrel lots of two Cabernet Sauvignons, each from a different vineyard, plus a Merlot and Cabernet Franc, all from Napa Valleys extraordinary 2012 vintage. Judds Hill specializes in making small lots of hand-crafted wines for their Judds Hill label, and for dozens of their Custom MicroCrush clients. It can take years to convert clusters of grapes into a ready-todrink bottle of red wine. Blending finished wine, however, is a vital part of the wine making process that can be accomplished in a relatively short time. These BBDC experiences are led by extremely knowledgeable and passionate wine educators and take about two hours to complete.

During the session, a wine educator will guide blenders through the intricacies of creating a wine best suited to the tastes of the blender, explaining and demystifying the process along the way. Once a favored cuve has been decided upon and a name is chosen, the newly minted wine-blenders will complete the process by handbottling, labeling and spinning foil capsules over the bottle necks. The wine is then ready to take home the same day! The Bottle Blending Day Camp at Judds Hill has several options: $225 enables you to take home three finished bottles of wine; $395 results in six bottles; $695 is a 12-bottle adventure. A 24 case, full barrel option, is also available (bottling will be at later date). Sessions can be scheduled for any day of the week, and 24 hours advanced notice is usually sufficient for groups a large as eight. The Judds Hill BBDC experience is also a great outing for larger groups ranging in size from 10-100. And if you dont have time to blend while youre in wine country you can swing by the winery or go to juddshill.com and pick up their new BBDC Home Edition blending kit. It comes complete with everything you need to host your own blending party in your own home. Reservations can be made by calling the winery at (707) 255-2332 or visiting their website at www.juddshill.com.

Vines, particularly Cabernet, thrive here. Today, this small winery has its label on almost three dozen wines scoring 90+ in just seven vintages. For a winery this size that is amazing. Maximus Red Feasting Wine best shows the results of their constant effort to create great wine. Crafted in limited amounts from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, it was an immediate hit. In addition to red Maximus, they also produce a Maximus White Feasting Wine, Reserve Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and a dessert wine. The winery also has a hot air balloon to take guests aloft for a spectacular view of wine country. All part of the special Bennett Lane experience.

The intensity of the bidding race over this lot was felt throughout the auction room at the Culinary Institute of America, with multiple bidders scrambling to secure Petit Abacus. The winning bidder was Durrel Smith, Owner/Wine Buyer for Beverage Warehouse in Los Angeles, a long-term attendee of Premiere Napa Valley. ZD Wines epitomizes Napa Valleys best, with world class wines produced by a first class family, said Smith. Their wines reflect the love and hard work of the deLeuze family and their entire team.

Sonoma County to Become Nations First 100% Sustainable Wine Region


Wine Growers & Wineries Partner To Benefit Environment and Local Economy
Sonoma County wines are renowned throughout the world for their award-winning quality and superb taste. And in the near future, consumers will be able to purchase any Sonoma County wine with confidence knowing that all of the regions wines are grown and made in the nations first 100% sustainable county. The Sonoma County Winegrape Commission, also known as Sonoma County Winegrowers (SCW), recently announced that Sonoma County is committed to becoming the nations first 100% sustainable wine region through a three-phased program to be completed within the next five years. Although many of the regions multigenerational wine growers and winemakers have been practicing sustainable farming techniques and winemaking practices for decades, this initiative demonstrates their seriousness and commitment to ensuring all vineyards and wineries across Sonoma County will soon be sustainable. Our countys grape growers and winemakers have long been at the forefront of creating and utilizing sustainable practices in the vineyard, in the winery and in running their businesses, so this is the next natural step in their continued evolution, said Karissa Kruse, president of the Sonoma County Winegrowers, an organization representing 1,800 wine growers throughout Sonoma County. She added, Sonoma County has great leaders who have championed the wine industrys sustainable efforts, and Im proud of the unparalleled partnership between Sonoma County Winegrowers and Sonoma County Vintners that enables us to put this stake in the ground for sustainability as a wine region. The first phase of this effort will focus on helping winegrowers assess their sustainable vineyard practices through trainings and educational sessions focused on over 200 best management practices such as land use, canopy management, energy efficiency, water quality assessments, carbon emissions; healthcare and training for employees and being a good neighbor and community member. Although many vineyards and wineries are already implementing sustainable practices, the goal is to assess, and collect the assessment data of 15,000 vineyard acres per year for the next four years until every acre of planted vines are under assessment for sustainability. As vineyard acres are assessed, phase two will involve the Sonoma County Winegrowers working with vineyard owners to achieve certification. Once the winegrower program has kicked off, focus will be expanded to work with wineries and winemakers to roll out sustainability assessments and certification all with a goal of 100% sustainability for the wine industry in Sonoma County by 2019. The key of sustainability is continuous improvement. Once all of the countys vineyards and wineries are recognized as sustainable, improvement plans will be developed to provide access to new production models, techniques and approaches. To ensure against greenwashing, third-party verification and certification programs will be used such as the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance's Code of Sustainability that involves 15 chapters and over 200 best practice assessments for growers and wineries, focused on environmental, social and economic viability

and continuous improvement with verification by a third-party certifier. Another critically-important factor to this initiative is transparency, which will be accomplished through regular progress updates, an annual Sonoma County Wine Region Sustainability Report Card and a vineyard and winery real-time tracker on the SCW website. I commend the growers and wineries of Sonoma County for pursuing this bold initiative. It speaks volumes about their love of the land and their commitment to environmental stewardship, their community and their consumers, said Karen Ross, Secretary of the California Department of Food and Agriculture. She added, It is a unique branding proposition and I wish them great success. Sonoma Countys wine industry is primarily comprised of multigenerational family businesses, which by their very structure, are sustainable. There are 59,218 acres planted to vineyards, which accounts for only 6% of Sonoma Countys total acreage. In fact, more than 40% of Sonoma Countys vineyard parcels are less than 20 acres, with 80% of the countys vineyards less than 100 acres. Having spent the last 40 years farming around a thousand acres of vineyards throughout Sonoma County, I am really excited to participate in this major initiative to make our county 100% sustainable, said Duff Bevill, Bevill Vineyard Management. He added, I have long felt that sustainability is the best approach to ensure we protect our land for future generations, improve the

quality of life for our employees, and enhance the community where we live and work. Sonoma County has some of the worlds most prized grape growing areas in the world with the first vineyards dating back to the 1820s. The regions unique combination of rich geological history, fog patterns generated by its 70-mile Pacific Ocean coastline, and topography has given rise to 16 unique American Viticultural Areas (AVA). Each AVA offers distinct climate, soils and temperature areas perfect for growing world-class Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and more. Sonoma County is also home to around 450 wineries whose wines are renowned throughout the world. In a recently released report, Sonoma Countys wine industry brought an economic impact of $13.4 billion in 2012. This includes providing 54,297 full-time equivalent jobs, directly and indirectly, from winegrowing and winemaking in Sonoma County. When traveling around the world as an ambassador for my familys winery, I am constantly asked about our sustainable practices by customers, retailers, sommeliers, and media, said Katie Jackson, Family Representative, Government Relations and Community Outreach at Jackson Family Wines. Todays wine consumers are passionate about sustainability and support brands who share their values, so I am truly excited about this initiative and proud to know that soon our efforts will be displayed in each bottle of wine labeled Sonoma County.

La Follette Launches Barrel To Bottle Tasting Experience


Winemaker Guides Guests Through In-Depth Barrel Tasting of Single-Vineyard Chardonnays & Pinot Noirs
La Follette Wines has just introduced a new tasting experience for wine country visitors that takes guests on an in-depth barrel tasting adventure with winemaker Greg La Follette. The La Follette Barrel to Bottle Tour showcases some of La Follettes finest single-vineyard Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs in a lively journey from barrel aging wine to the finished blend, led by Greg La Follette himself. La Follette hosts guests at his barrel aging cellar where he draws tasting samples of three different 4080 Old Redwood Highway Santa Rosa, CA 95403 Chardonnays and three different Friday-Sunday 12-5pm or by appt. Pinot Noirs directly from the 888-946-3708 | www.jjcustomwines.com barrel. With characteristic enthusiasm and encyclopedic knowledge, La Follette provides a detailed narrative on each barrel sample, describing the differences CUSTOM BLENDING/BOTTLING & LABELS in vineyard sites, grape clones and

even barrel types and coopers. After the barrel tasting, guests join Greg at the La Follette tasting room at The Barlow in Sebastopol for a tasting of finished wines. The Barrel to Bottle Tour offers a rare opportunity to taste unfinished wines alongside the winemaker to get his candid thoughts, personal impressions and unique insights into the art and science of winemaking. The La Follette Barrel to Bottle Tour costs $55 per person ($40 for La Follette Vigneron members) and is available by appointment. To book the La Follette Barrel to Bottle Tour, contact Lisa Gower at the winery at (707) 827-4933 or lisa@lafollettewines.com. La Follette Wines debuted in 2010 and the wines have continued to win accolades from some of the countrys leading sommeliers and wine writers. Both winegrower and winemaker, Greg La Follette works intensely in the vineyard to make wines that are an accurate expression of a place, whether that place is in the Russian River Valley or in the unique Mendocino Ridge appellation. While steeped in the traditions of Burgundy, Greg La Follettes winemaking pushes the edges of convention.

Soda Rock Winery in bucolic Alexander Valley is home to one of the oldest bonded wineries in Northern California. The original owners constructed the stone face of the building in 1869, which is a grand architectural feature giving credence to its unofficial title, The Alamo of Alexander Valley. The old barn structure is the original winery location in the late 1800s. Ken and Diane Wilson purchased the rustic western property in 2000. Since then, they have been busy restoring the winery and vineyard with all of the modern amenities. The current tasting room formerly housed the post office and general store for the town of Soda Rock, once the central hub of valley activity. Besides the historical elements, Soda Rock has fantastic awardwinning wines. Winemaker Antoine Favero and Diane Wilson focus on bringing big, bold fruit notes and richness in body to each crafted wine. Sip a delicious array of wines with a focus on Bordeaux varietals. View the splendid surroundings and appreciate the historical buildings that have been beautifully restored using green building and recycling practices. Savor their artisan wines in the lovely tasting room surrounded by vineyards with spectacular Alexander Valley views. They encourage their guests to relax during their visit. There are plenty of chairs at the large main bar and armchairs in the Boar Lounge, tables in the courtyard and room for picnics in the redwood grove. Enjoy live music during the summer months. Join the Barrel, Cask or Cellar Wine Club to enjoy numerous special benefits including access to the Wilson Artisan Wineries and their fun events. Alexander Valley, known as Californias Bordeaux, is a genuine mosaic of soil types and microclimate due to the local landscape. You can find four spectacular versions of Cabernet Sauvignon, Primitivos, Zinfandel, Merlot, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc here. Wine tasting is $5 although they waive the fee with a wine purchase. If you are looking for a wonderful setting to host a special event

SONOMA VALLEY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK

Patz & Hall Recently Unveiled its Sonoma House


Sonomas Newest Destination Welcomes Pinot Noir & Chardonnay Lovers
Patz & Hall recently opened its new Sonoma House at Patz & Hall at 21200 8th Street East, just a few miles south of the Sonoma town square. Located near the Highway 12 corridor, against a backdrop of vineyards and mountains, the Sonoma House features a luxurious new Tasting Salon. Guests at the Tasting Salon are welcomed for private, by-appointment seated tastings of Patz & Halls acclaimed vineyard-designate Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs paired with gourmet savory panna cotta food complements. The new location also includes a drop-in tasting bar, a member-exclusive Reserve Room and an expansive patio surrounded by 12 acres of estate vineyards newly planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Sonoma House Salon welcomes guests for by-appointment tastings Wednesday through Sunday at 10:30 a.m., 1 and 3:30 p.m. These seated, private tastings include six Chardonnay and Pinot Noir single-vineyarddesignate wines, paired with a seasonally inspired selection of four savory panna cottas catered by Chef Natalie Niksa of La Saison. The winter 2014 lineup of panna cottas includes lemongrass with Dungeness crab, ham and egg with mustard, truffles and milk, and candy cap and beech mushroom. The Salon experience is $50 per person and lasts approximately 60 minutes. The Sonoma House also offers seated, drop-in tastings at its stylish tasting bar, Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The tasting bar experience features four Patz & Hall wines and is $25 per person. Drop in guests may also purchase cheese plates exclusively featuring artisan Sonoma County cheeses, as well as select prepared specialty items from the Sonoma House shop. Our Sonoma House is much more than a tasting room, says Founder and National Director of Sales Donald Patz. With our Reserve Room and Garden House, its a place where we can welcome our club members, as well as host our restaurant and retail partners from across the

country, walk the vineyards and taste through our wines. The additional space both indoors and outdoors will enhance everything about the Patz & Hall experience, including allowing us to hold more special events such as educational programs and art showcases.

Each month the winerys mission-style tasting room will host a different Sonoma producer, purveyor, or company to share artisan products and stories. St.Francis staff will pair wines to accompany the products and share insight on the pairing process. Weve always believed in discussing the relationship of wine and food with our guests, from our seasonal dinners to our ZAGATrecommended Wine & Food Pairing, named #1 Restaurant in America recently by Open Table diners. This new program gives us the opportunity to celebrate all of the wonderful producers in Sonoma County and allows our guests to experience wine tasting in a new way, notes St. Francis Winery President & CEO Christopher Silva.

Wine Tasting in LIVERMORE VALLEY


Livermore Valleys 6th Annual Barrel Tasting Weekend
Taste wines in development and save a bundle on your favorites at the fifth annual Barrel Tasting Weekend March 29 and 30 in Livermore Valley wine country. More than 30 wineries located less than an hour from San Francisco or Silicon Valley will offer samples direct from their barrels from noon to 4:30 each day. Guests will have the opportunity to pre-purchase many of the barrel wines at a discount, a practice known as buying futures. Many winemakers will be present to personally pour and discuss their young wines and offer delicious pairings with gourmet appetizers. Advance tickets are $40, available online at www.LVwine.org. Tickets purchased at the event will be $45 per person. Barrel Tasting Weekend provides wine enthusiasts of all experience levels with a fun snapshot of how wine evolves from grape to glass. More than a dozen varietals, including the rare Primitivo and Alicante Bouschet and ever popular Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, will be presented for tasting across Livermore Valley. Guests with special event wristbands and official glasses will receive at least one barrel sample at each participating winery. Many will give discounts on wine purchases to ticket holders only. Examples of special events and wines to be tasted include: Las Positas Vineyards: Winemaker Brent Amos will discuss the differences between American and French oak barrels in winemaking. Guests will sample the winerys 2012 Estate Barbera, comparing and contrasting the same wine made in two different types of barrels. Big White House & John Evan Cellars: Visit the fun and educational Aroma Bar and learn how to recognize the aromas found in wine. Also, MYOB Make Your Own Blend by sampling the components of the winerys Chateau Marion blend (Merlot and Cabernet), then blending them in a glass to taste how the two varietals marry. Cuda Ridge Wines: Side-by-side tasting of

2011 Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot and matching 2012 barrel samples . Additional wine tasting and food for purchase by Posadas Catering.

Grapes
Voted Best Wine Travel Destination in 2013 by Wine Enthusiast, Monterey County boasts over 45,000 acres of grapes; Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes grow best in the cool coastal climate. The Carmel-by-the-Sea Wine Walk offers a unique experience to sample some of the best wines from Scheid, Wrath, Caraccioli and Manzoni. Dawns Dream the latest tasting room in downtown Carmel has an open rustic feeling that delightfully welcomes patrons and their seven-wine flight for $10 is a real steal. Carmel Valleys new Cellar Pass, valid through April, gives wine enthusiasts the opportunity to taste a flight of three or four wines and receive discounts on wine at boutique wineries including Bernardus, Cima Colina, Holman Ranch, Joullian and Parsonage. Play it safe and take MSTs Carmel Valley Grapevine Express for $10 for an all-day pass. Get up-close and personal with the vineyards on the River Road Wine Trail in the Salinas Valley for a truly viticultural vacation. With over 13 wineries to choose from, visitors can have a unique experience riding ATVs through vineyards before tasting at Hahn, and barrel at Paraiso, McIntyre and Manzoni.

Visitors get a unique experience to meet, greet and taste with celebrity chefs Guy Fieri and Masaharu Morimoto, notable winemakers, expert mixologists and master sommeliers. Make sure to come hungry and thirsty!

English Ales Brewery in Marina specializes in concocting delicious brews such as Fat Lip Amber Ale, Big Sur Golden and Monterey Bay Wheat. Go into just about any bar or pub on the peninsula and you will be able to enjoy one of their creations. You can even stop into their cozy restaurant adjacent to their brewery for some good old fashioned fish n chips and wash it down with a pint or two. Peter Bs Brewpub, located adjacent to the Portola Plaza Hotel & Spa near the heart of downtown Monterey, stands out as the only craft brewery in Monterey County. Brewmaster Kevin Clark has overseen the recent expansion of the brewery and cellar, featuring four bright tanks, adding 18,000 gallons of beer production per year and enough storage to concoct special seasonal brews. Cannery Row Brewing Company, just a stones throw from the water on Cannery Row, awaits you with a fluid selection of draft beers, rare bottled beers and creative pub fare to make you thirsty for more. Snuggle up to that special someone outside by their toasty fire pits or swing by on a Saturday night to enjoy some live music. The Monterey Beer Festival brings beer lovers together on Saturday, June 14th at the Monterey County Fair & Event Center. Over 80 breweries will be there to make sure no one goes thirsty. No beer festival would be complete without live music and this years fest features Powerage (AC/DC cover band) and Journey Revisited.
