INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER

BY LEN NAPOLITANO
Why is wine aged in oak?

Long before the mass production of glass bottles, wine was sold in bulk and transported in wooden barrels. Wine merchants in England, the worlds largest customer of French wine at the time, purchased and resold it by the barrel. In the course of storing wine in barrels and transporting it across the English Channel, small changes happened: aroma improved, flavor sweetened and mouthfeel amplified. Also evident, the wine lasted longer. Changes like these didnt go unnoticed by merchants and producers who concluded that the weeks and months wine spent in contact with wood enhanced and preserved it. The benefits of wood contact with wine eventually became part of their normal winemaking regimen. Oak became the material of choice over other woods because of its abundance, inherent characteristics of hardness and durability, and its ease in bending when heated. It also has good anti-leaking properties, despite allowing microscopic amounts of air to pass through without spoiling the wine an added benefit responsible for the graceful aging of wine. Perhaps oaks most important contribution is flavor. If you ever get a chance to watch an oak barrel being made, the woods potential for flavor is immediately obvious as soon as the wood is heated by an open flame. This toasting process extracts natural aroma compounds, smelling as sweet as a cake baking in an oven. Sweetness, like vanilla and mocha, are among many aromatic and flavor contributions of toasted oak. Others are almond, clove, nutmeg, exotic spice and char, each of which has potential to complement certain wines. When balanced with wines other components, and under the guidance of a skilled winemaker, seamless integration of wine and wood can create irresistible results. A problem might come if the impact from oak in the wine overtakes the fruit flavor of the grape. When true varietal character is overwhelmed by oakiness, pairing with food becomes more difficult. Red wines almost always aged in oak include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Syrah, Pinot Noir and Sangiovese. The most popular white wine to age in barrels is Chardonnay, but there are a handful of other white wines that benefit from some oak barrel aging, as well.

Why the Weather Matters This Year AND Next

Theres one thing you can count on as a farmer: one years weather will never be like any other. What that means in practice is that the past only serves as example, not roadmap. And especially in a year like this one, where none of the established past patterns seem to hold and drought is on the close horizon, how we strategize about the weather and our water use makes the difference between having grapes to make into wine and having to take a pass after two bumper harvests in a row. What makes this doubly fraught is that this years decisions affect two years crops. Why? Because vines arent like other annual, row crops. If you look closely at a vine, you will see both this years and next years buds, which is why weather damage can be such a problem: a grower is forced to contemplate the loss of multiple years income. Inside each bud are really small leaves, and from them come the leaves, canes, shoots and grapes, and each bud has concentric layers, which is why weather damage is along a continuum. Minor damage, generally from frost, may reduce the yield a bit, but its the more severe darkening, akin to frostbite, which is the real issue, guaranteeing a crop loss of at least fifty percent, if not more. Equally, the phloem, the bark on the exterior of canes and vine trunks, can also be damaged by cold, causing crop losses, too. The best way to understand winegrowing options for weather ElizabethSpencer-0214_Layout 1 1/23/14 2:27 PM Page 1 mitigation is to walk through the vineyard throughout the year. Winter cold, even as cold as we got this past year, is actually no issue because the vines are dormant, which is why all fifty states have vineyards. Spring is when weather has the most impact on two years crops because the weather often flipflops quite quickly, and rain at an early point can be helpful to bring temperatures up while later in the season causing crop damage via hail or thunderstorms winds. Shattering of the bloming flowers can disrupt clusters or keep them from being fertilized, yet when faced with a frost event earlier in the year, rain is welcomed as it brings the temperature up above freezing. summer and fall heat can also be an issue because too-high a temperature can cause vines to shut down, shriveling or even sunburning grapes, and also potentially killing the vine in the process. There are actually lots of options for mitigation, and the best, as you might expect, are set up so as to help solve more than one problem. Believe it or not, something as simple as low trellising versus high has an impact as far as weather goes as low trellises in the wrong locales are more subject to frost damage, and higher trellises can provide shade for adjacent rows. How the trellis is trimmed in winter and early spring prior to budbreak is thus one strategy, and there is projected to be a move back to California Sprawl from the VSP candelabra currently seen all over as the North Coast replants in the next few years for this reason: not only does this provide different vine growth and brix gains, but it also helps as regards frost or hail damage during April and May, when the buds break and the vines flower. Mechanical options abound, too. The wine machines, those twirling engines and fans on poles; the Inverted Sinks or Air Dams, which essentially turn the wind machine to provide a frost sink to pull cold air down and away from vines on hillsides and slopes; vertical sprinklers and micro-sprinklers, which can raise the temperature or allow frozen water to encase and protect the vines; and smudge pots, the gas fired heaters for the end of vineyard rows which work in combination with wind machines all are ways to work in combination with the land to mitigate the negatives of weather while allowing the terroir, the locational distinctiveness, to still show through in the grapes and finished wines by moving the weather since the vines really cannot. Its not always easy or cheap, but the results are worth it, no? Enjoy!

Good to Know Before Heading to the Wineries

BY CHARLES NEAVE
For the most part, going wine tasting is about the easiest thing in the world, especially here in California where wineries and tasting rooms abound. You can find wineries specializing in red wines of all types, those that are famous for their white wines and others who pour sparkling wine. It is a matter of doing a little research and planning your day. Most tasting rooms open around 10 a.m. and close between 4:30 and 6 p.m. Here are some tips that have proven to be helpful and are designed to help make the sensory adventure of wine tasting all the more enjoyable. Before you start off pack a few essentials: Water (plenty of water) and something to snack on crackers or a baguette. Many wineries have picnic areas and there are plenty of delis and bakeries that can make up a lunch for you, or make your own. Which brings us to eating and drinking, the kind that doesnt directly involve wine. Be sure to nibble during the day and make sure you make time for lunch. Two tips: drink at least twice as much water as you do wine, and remember that you dont have to drink everything poured into your glass. There is a reason tasting bars have dump buckets and a pitcher of water to wash out your glass. Dont be afraid to ask questions. Time and time again I have heard knowledgeable winery workers say that there is no such thing as a stupid question, and they mean that. You can drink what you want, in the order you want. If you only like
reds, say so; if you dont like sweet wines, speak up. But the idea of starting with whites, then going on to reds and then sweet wines is a good guide. Zinfandel is red. I am sure you know that but it never hurts to remind everyone. If there is a particular wine you want to try and it is not on the list, ask. There might be a bottle around that was opened for a trade tasting or by the winemaker. Most tasting rooms are happy to pour a little if you show enthusiasm. Take notes on the wines you most enjoyed. Take advantage of tours when the winery offers them, but keep in mind that they take anywhere from 20 minutes to well over an hour, so one a day is plenty. Buy wines that you can only find at the winery. These often include smaller (375 ml) bottles of limited production Ports or dessert wines. Dont buy a wine you can get at a supermarket back home. Youll pay more, and besides, whats the point? Look for tasting rooms in towns. Many of these are cooperative tasting rooms, where in one place you might find wines from a dozen or more small-to-medium premium producers. They are scattered throughout the area and more are opening all the time. Dont give too much thought to ratings and vintages. Its like art: if you like it, its a good wine. It is as simple as that. Remember that you dont have to do the driving. It takes no more than a phone call hire a transportation company to do the driving.

PROVENANCE VINEYARDS
Too Enticing to Pass Up
BY MONICA L. DASHWOOD
Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed major holidays. 1695 St. Helena Highway, Rutherford CA 94574 www.provenancevineyards.com | (707) 968-3633 | hewittvineyards.com
With so many wineries to visit in beautiful Napa Valley, its hard to choose the best ones. Provenance Vineyards, just off Highway 29 in Rutherford, catches your eye with its stunning red barn, distinguished tasting room and award-winning wines. Provenance Vineyards, a luxury-class winery, specializing in Bordeaux-wines, and is simply too enticing to pass up. The tasting room at Provenance Vineyards is equally as inviting, with its friendly and informative staff, working inside a bright and spacious room. What makes it stand out over other tasting rooms is their innovative floor constructed from more than 900 of their own wine barrels, including the barrel-makers marks, all from Provenance Vineyards first vintage in 1999. In addition, a horseshoe shaped-bar graces the back of the room where visitors can look through windows into the wine cellar. On display, are a variety of tasteful wine related gifts, such as T-shirts, cookbooks, kitchenware and branded coasters. At Provenance Vineyards, you can sample two distinct brands with accolades from Provenance Vineyards and Hewitt Vineyards, handcrafted by winemakers Tom Rinaldi and Chris Cooney.

May 24th marks the date of the famed Paris Tasting, when the 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay crafted by Miljenko Mike Grgich was the champion of the 1976 Paris Tasting, beating the best of France and revolutionizing the wine world. Thirty eight years to the day, the Vintners Hall of Fame legend will release his Paris Tasting Commemorative Chardonnay, with a portion of sales during this Day for Peace to benefit Roots of Peace. Miljenko Mike Grgich first earned his world-wide recognition from the 1976 Paris Tasting. He then partnered with Austin Hills to open their family-owned-and-operated winery in 1977. To honor Grgichs legacy, the winery showcases its best Chardonnay vines to create this limited-production wine featuring a woodcut image of him on the label. The winery released the first vintage of the Paris Tasting Commemorative Chardonnay in 2013, which quickly sold out. The public is invited to join Miljenko Mike Grgich and family at the winery to celebrate the release of the newest vintage of this exceptional wine with an afternoon devoted to savoring delicious wines paired with small bites. The afternoon will also feature live music by jazz legend Mike Morris. winery will donate 5% of all purchases during this day for peace. Grgichs homeland of Croatia suffered through the Balkan War, which left an estimated 1.3 million landmines and unexploded ordnance throughout the country. Grgich first joined Heidi Kuhn, Founder and CEO of Roots of Peace, in 1998, to support Kuhns vision for planting the roots of peace by turning Mines To Vines on land formerly held hostage by the terror of landmines. Grgichs business partner, Austin Hills, has also supported Roots of Peace by hosting fundraising events at his San Francisco and Napa Valley homes. In 2008, Roots of Peace presented Grgich with the Global Citizen Award for his leadership and unique contributions in raising landmine awareness around the globe. Miljenko Mike Grgich has left a lasting impression upon my entire family, said Kuhn. All of us involved with the Roots of Peace mission feel honored that at 91 years old, he continues to support our goal of Mines to Vines. On the same day as the release party, Kuhn will be in Bethlehem and Palestine, coinciding with the visit of His Holiness Pope Francis, working to continue the Roots of Peace mission in The Holy Land.

GEYSER PEAK WINERY

Exciting changes are happening for Geyser Peak Winery this spring with their relocation into the Dry Creek Valley appellation. After 134 years as one of Alexander Valleys historic landmarks, the iconic winery has moved its tasting room and winery operations to a newly renovated facility on Westside Road, just minutes outside downtown Healdsburg. The sprawling collection of Sonoma County chic barn-style buildings comprise the new Geyser Peak Winery and include a large tasting room, winery offices and the future production facility for their limited-release and winery-exclusives. The property located off Kinley Road at Magnolia Drive sits on 70-acres of prime Zinfandel grapes and is situated at the confluence of Dry Creek Valley and Russian River Valley appellations. Formerly known as Alderbrook Winery, it originally housed a prune dehydration operation in the early part of the century but underwent a major renovation in the late 1980s. Today, the abundantly light-filled tasting room space is yet again undergoing minor upgrades to better align with the revamped brand identity Geyser Peak unveiled last Fall when they introduced new bottle labels, brand mark and the addition of several new varietal blends. The new Geyser Peak site is ideal from a winemaking perspective, noted winemaker Ondine Chattan. I am excited about the small-lot, reserve-tier winemaking it will afford us in the future. We are delighted to have found a new home for Geyser Peak that maintains its historic ties to northern Sonoma County and assures us a rightful sense of place well into the future. We will continue with our same vineyard sources and are continually looking for opportunities to showcase the diversity of terroir in our appellation bottlings. Best known for Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet wines, you will be greeted by friendly Wine Educators in the Tasting Room who will guide you through various wine tastings at the immense bar. The 30-foot-long and high Alderwood and Spanish quartz bar was expertly crafted by local a cabinet maker and commissioned to provide a stunning focal point to the space, as well as accommodate for increased tasters in their new location.

Celebrate the Season at Springtime Bonanza

Spring is here and Napas 2014 growing season has officially begun! To kick off the season and celebrate the vineyards awakening from their winter slumber, one of Napas most innovative and admired boutique wineries is hosting an event not to be missed. Mark your calendar for the 8th annual Springtime Bonanza hosted by Judds Hill Winery and MicroCrush! The party will take place at their Silverado Trail winery on Sunday, May 4 from noon to 2:30 p.m., and is one in a series of events planned to celebrate their 25th anniversary. The Springtime Bonanza is a benefit for the Napa Valley Youth Symphony, and if youve never attended a party at Judds Hill, we suggest you make plans to be there and experience their relaxed and friendly hospitality first hand. As with any Judds Hill party, its a good idea to come ready to eat. Although it is a benefit for the Napa Valley Youth Symphony, and musicians from the symphony will provide entertainment throughout, the real star of the show is the food. As in years past, a world-class barbecue lunch will be prepared and served. Dont expect dainty finger-foods and miserly appetizers here. The good people of Judds Hill know how to feed their fans. Tri-tip and ribs, beans and cole slaw are all on the menu. During the event, new release wines such as the Judds Hill 2013 Ros and 2013 Sauvignon Blanc will also make their public debut. And no barbecue at Judds Hill would be complete without sampling their most popular 2012 Zinfandel, otherwise known as Burkes Blazing BBQ Zin. This wine is crafted every year with the express purpose of being the perfect wine to pair with the food served at their Bonanza. Tickets are $55 per person, but for Judds Hill Wine Club members entry is absolutely free. Youll enjoy great wine, food, music and people, all for a good cause. What could be better on a beautiful spring day? If you happen to miss the party, you should call the winery and make an appointment to visit their tasting room and newly expanded
tasting terrace, open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Their small-lot, hand-crafted wines are affordably price and produced in a foodfriendly style, making them a popular choice among Napa Valley restaurants. With less than 3,000 cases produced annually, you are not likely to find these wines outside of Napa. In addition to throwing great parties, the folks at Judds Hill are big fans of wine education. Guests who attend one of their daily Wine and Food in Balance seminars build wine and food pairing skills for life. These casual and fun seminars, led by a professional wine educator, provide participants with all the skills needed to confidently pair wine with their favorite foods. By understanding the dominant features found in different wines and how they are impacted by various food flavors, a new level of food and wine pairing confidence is achieved by every participant in this 90 minute wine and food flavors tasting experience. You can also make your own wine at Judds Hill in small (or larger) lots, hence the MicroCrush moniker. It is one of the few places where wine enthusiasts can make a single barrel of their own wine from either their own grapes or from grapes sourced by Judds Hill. And if a barrel of custom wine, which is about 288 bottles, is a bit much, Judds Hill offers another option for personalized wine. Their Bottle Blending Day Camp is held daily by advance appointment. Here guests craft their own cuvee using Bordeaux varietal barrel samples and are led by a Judds Hill wine educator who guides them towards their final blend, which is then bottled, corked and labeled. It is a fun and hands-on way to experience wine country, perfect for couples and groups of all sizes. For more information about their tastings and seminars, or to buy tickets for their Springtime Bonanza, you can visit www.juddshill.com or call them at (707) 255-2332. Theres always something fun happening at Judds Hill. Make a point to check them out and see for yourself!

WINEMAKER PROFILE:
SARAH VANDENDRIESSCHE
at Elizabeth Spencer Winery in Rutherford
BY MINDY JOYCE, WINERYCRITIC.COM
Taking on a Legacy Job in the Napa Valley

If youre in the tasting room at Elizabeth Spencer in Rutherford you may just find winemaker Sarah Vandendriessche popping in to say a quick hello. Sarah is a down to earth, hands-on winemaker whose responsibilities go well beyond making wine. In fact, Sarah spends a lot of time talking with growers and walking the vineyards all over the Napa Valley, Sonoma and Mendocino Counties. Its not just winemaking, Sarah explained. What we do is built on trust of the people growing the grapes. I really believe in relationships. What I soon learned is that by not owning land themselves, Elizabeth Spencer relies on a network of growers from which they source their premium grapes. And, as winemaker, its a responsibility she doesnt take lightly but Sarah believes she is in the right place, at the right time. The honor of having the baton passed to me is wonderful, she said. I feel lucky to be here now. Thirty years ago Napa was a very different place. You may be surprised to learn that Sarah did not grow up in a wine family in Napa, nor did she spend years studying winemaking at UC Davis, instead, she has a refreshing and diverse background ranging from working in restaurants, operating a gardening service, and most interesting, she has a formal training in systems biology. It turns out all of these things played a part in shaping her skills as a winemaker. Prior to Elizabeth Spencer, Sarah spent time at White Rock Vineyards, Stagecoach Vineyards and Krupp Brothers Estates. She describes her decision to join Elizabeth Spencer in 2010 as a rare opportunity and was attracted by the chance to work directly with the owners, and diversify their range. They have since added Grenache and Chenin Blanc to their range. We are not just a Cabernet house, she added. Together with owners Elizabeth Pressler and Spencer Graham, the trio are immensely proud of their Rutherford location and the wines they are producing. The winery produces a range of two labels; E x S (a hearts and swords logo) and Elizabeth Spencer. Beyond the Cabernets, which are wonderful, they also produce a Chenin Blanc from Mendocino, a Grenache from Sonoma Coast and a Pinot Noir also from Sonoma Coast. All of the wines I tasted were elegant and accessible, showing purity of flavor, true varietal character, and great balance. They are wines of great intensity without excess weight.
You can join Sarah and the Elizabeth Spencer team at their
Ros Release Party on April 26.

Check out elizabethspencerwines.com for more information.
Open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. 1165 Rutherford Rd, Rutherford, CA 94573 (707) 963-6067 | www.elizabethspencerwines.com

Blow Off Steam at Old Faithful Geyser of California

Napa Valleys Geyser is a Daytrip Destination for Everyone
BY DENISE OLLIFFE
Old Faithful Geyser of California is undergoing major refurbishments to prepare for a busy tourist season. A popular Napa Valley landmark since the 1970s, the geyser has long been a spot where visitors could stop by to watch one of only three geothermal geysers dubbed old faithful in the world attracting more than 100,000 visitors per year. However the renovations under way will soon make Old Faithful Geyser of California a complete destination of itself that the entire family can enjoy. Acquired over a year ago by Calistoga Enterprises LLC, Old Faithful Geyser of California has been given a mindful branding overhaul, respecting the historic attributes of the site, and honoring the hard work and dedication previous owner Olga Kolbek had given to the property since the 1970s when she and her husband first bought the land and opened the geyser to the viewing public. Part of the property renovations has been the installation of Old Faithful Gardens. Its a massive circular garden area where more than 600 plants have recently been bedded, including trees that will one day provide lofty shade to sit under. The focal point of the garden is a cascading geothermal mineral water fountain making the garden one of the only spots where visitors can touch the therapeutic local mineral waters, other than checking into a nearby Calistoga spa highly recommended. Cohesive, educational information boards have been placed throughout the property allowing visitors to take self-guided reading tours learning interesting facts about the geyser and its surroundings. The Old Faithful Museum will be opening May 2014 and will present an enrichment opportunity to learn facts about the earth we stand on, an explanation of geyser activity, volcanoes, earthquakes, and much more.
Slated for completion by end of May 2014, there will be new tables with elegant umbrellas sponsored by local wineries where visitors can sit and picnic, as well as outdoor fire pit areas to enjoy evenings under the stars. The garden, grounds and geyser will also be highlighted at night with accent lighting to illuminate the features and extend visiting hours until 10 p.m. There are several more features being planned for the property, including an Old Faithful Culinary Gardens, Old Faithful Greenhouse, Old Faithful Treehouse, bike trail and much more. Visitors can still see charming farm animals on the property, however the area has been restored and turned into an interactive petting zoo with information boards about the variety of animals living on the farm and food pellets to hand-feed them. The grounds also serve as a natural habitat surrounded by concentrated walls of bamboo and lofty palm trees (the geysers often shoot water as high as the palms). The park-like setting attracts a variety of bird species throughout the year. If you look closely, you can even see small cobalt blue zebra fish swimming in the natural pond waters surrounding the geyser interesting considering the highly concentrated minerals found at the site the fish apparently thrive there. While visiting, be sure to peek around the gift shop which has a variety of souvenirs, quick snacks, ice cream bars which are pleasant on hot Calistoga days, maps of other local attractions as well as informative staff happy to provide you with insight about the facility. Old Faithful Geyser of California is located on the north end of the Napa Valley at 1299 Tubbs Lane, Calistoga. The park is open seven days a week 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. during spring. Admission is $14 for adults, $8 for kids age six to 12 (children under age six are free) and $12 for military or seniors. For information, call (707) 942-6463.

Bennett Lane Winery in Calistoga was started by Randy and Lisa Lynch and, while it is surrounded by vineyards in Northern Daily 10AM 5PM California, it -has its roots in Europe, where they first discovered their Signature Tasting 3718 St Helena Hwy No | Calistoga, CA 94515 love of fine wine and the relationship between wine and food. by appointment 707-942-8619 | www.madrigalvineyards.com When they decided to pursue their passion for wine, they found land where the topography, geography, soil and climate form a unique spot to grow grapes. 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.

SONOMA COUNTY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Annual Taste Alexander Valley Weekend May 16-18 at the Historic Asti Winery
Winegrowers add unique Private Access events on Saturday and Sunday for wine enthusiasts
The 17th rendition of Taste Alexander Valley, the annual appellation event celebrating the renowned Alexander Valley, will be held May 16, 17 and 18 in and around the vineyards just north of Healdsburg. More than 25 wineries will open their vineyards, wineries, tasting rooms and caves for guests to enjoy the latest releases of world-class wines made from grapes grown in the sumptuous Alexander Valley. The weekend kicks off with the Opening Celebration, Friday evening, May 16th at the historic original home of Italian Swiss Colony the Asti Winery in Cloverdale. Now home to the Souverain brand, the Asti Winery evokes the early wine- and Champagnemaking era that long preceded Prohibition. The backdrop for the event are the amazing and original Champagne vaults built in 1910, which still boast the original signage for the Grand Prix Winner of the Torino Wine Exposition in 1911 Golden State Extra Dry Champagne, made by winemaker Pietro Rossi for Italian Swiss Colony, owned by Astis own immigrant icon, Andrea Sbarboro. Running from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., the outdoor celebration will feature reserve and library wines from throughout the Alexander Valley, allowing guests a special opportunity to interact and mingle with local vintners, growers and winemakers before the weekend festivities kick into high gear. Returning for a third year are notable local guest chefs Josh Silvers of Jacksons Bar & Oven, Jeff Mall of Zin Restaurant & Wine Bar, and Carlo Cavallo of Meritage Sonoma. Each chef will be creating passed hors doeuvres and small plates to pair with featured Alexander Valley wines, poured by winemakers and vintners of participating wineries. On Saturday and Sunday, May 17 and 18, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.,
Enjoy a moment in time with family and friends

Alexander Valley
An hour north of the Golden Gate Bridge lies the Alexander Valley, located at the northern end of Sonoma County. The Alexander Valley is 22 miles long and varies in width from two to seven miles. There are 76,900 acres of land, of which 15,000 acres are planted to premium wine grapes. World-famous Cabernet Sauvignon grapes thrive from the Valley floor all the way up the rolling hillsides and mountain ridges. The gravelly loam soils straddling the river encourage Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot to flourish. Alexander Valley also produces Zinfandel grapes as well as Rhone varieties, such as Syrah and Viognier.

Russian River Valley Winegrowers Celebrates Russian River Valley Pinot Noir with the Pinot Classic
Memorial Day Weekend, May 23-26
The multi-day celebration of Russian River Valleys internationally acclaimed Pinot Noir is taking place during Memorial Day weekend, from May 23 through May 26. The highly anticipated weekend of events explores the rugged beauty of this largely undiscovered destination and its hidden gems including world-class wines, local food and unmatched hospitality. The Pinot Classic comprises multiple events including the annual Passport to Pinot barrel tasting and the second annual Pinot Classic Paule Dinner. In addition, a seminar on the AVAs neighborhoods initiative will take place on Saturday, May 24 from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Fountaingrove Inn. Passport to Pinot offers Barrel Tastings from more than 30 Russian River wineries and producers while showcasing the vineyards and people that comprise the exceptional beauty of the Russian River Valley. Guests will enjoy preferred access to pre-release wines, barrel, library and limited edition winery-only wines, as well as artist demonstrations, entertainment, delicious food and so much more. Early bird tickets are $55 per person until April 15 and $65 thereafter and are available on PinotClassic.com. An exclusive evening celebrating the wine, winemakers and VOTED A WINE & SPIRITS 2012 growers of the famed Russian River Valley will inspire guests of the annual Paule Dinner, this year hosted by Jean-Charles Boissets DeLoach Vineyards on Saturday May 24, beginning at 6 p.m. The tradition of the original Paules in Burgundy celebrated the conclusion of harvest where vintners would gather for a communal meal, bringing special bottles of wine to share. In the spirit of this tradition, vintners from the Russian River Valley will dig deep into their personal and private wine cellars to present their favorite Pinots and Chardonnays from the Russian River and beyond. Guests are also encouraged to bring a special bottle to share. The Annual Paule evening begins with a winemaker reception, followed by a delicious three-course plated meal. Attendees will experience a truly unique Russian River Valley evening under the stars with a Pinot-inspired menu prepared by Michou Cornu, Director of Cuisine and Hospitality at Boisset Family Estates. Host wineries include Arista, Benovia, DeLoach, Joseph Swan, Hartford Family, Kosta Browne, Merry Edwards, Thomas George, Williams Selyem and more. Tickets are $250 per person and available at PinotClassic.com.

A ticket to the Paule Dinner is also included in the package price. Tickets are $350 per person for all three days of the Pinot Classic and available at PinotClassic.com. The Russian River Valley American Viticultural Area (AVA) is located in the heart of Sonoma County, California, just 55 miles north of San Francisco. The seasonal fog and tempering effects of the Pacific Ocean to the west provide this area with an uncommonly long growing season, and ideal conditions for cool climate loving grape varieties, particularly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The growing conditions result in wines of uncommon depth and richness that still maintain bright, natural acidity. The Russian River Valley Winegrowers (RRVW) is a non-profit marketing and educational organization dedicated to maintaining the agricultural diversity of the Russian River Valley while preserving its natural resources and protecting its authentic farming heritage. As a trade association that supports grape farmers and wineries, our nearly 300 members participate in educational seminars, sponsored and consumer events, and community networking. The RRVW provides regular marketing, publicity and community relations support and is committed to promoting the Russian River Valley as the worlds premiere winegrowing region.

TASTING ROOM OF THE WEEK:
BALLETTO VINEYARDS & WINERY

BY SUE STRAIGHT, THE WINE WENCH
Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 5700 Occidental Road, Santa Rosa, CA 95401 For more information, call (707) 568-2455 or visit their website at www.ballettovineyards.com.
Balletto Vineyards & Winery is conveniently located on the outskirts of Santa Rosa and the perfect stop as you wend your way through the Russian River Valley. Why? The staff is friendly, engaging and knowledgeable, the Balletto family are great people, the surroundings are beautiful and the wines are wonderful and reasonably priced (more on that later). The tasting room and winery are housed in a large warehouse-like building, but once you are inside the tasting room, it feels like you are inside a Tuscan villa. The walls are painted warm mustard gold and a long concrete bar spans one side of the room. A tasteful selection of wine-related gifts is displayed around the room. There is a large covered picnic area in front of the building, complete with burbling fountain and several wrought iron tables and chairs. Youll want to pick up a bottle or six and relax and stay a while. The Balletto family owns over 600 acres of vineyards in the Russian River Valley, which they farm using sustainable methods. This family is all about the land and giving back! In 2002, the Balletto family worked with Sonoma Countys Agriculture Preservation

& Open Space District and generously donated a portion of their estate (the winerys western boundary) to the Laguna de Santa Rosa. This vast wetland habitat and major tributary of the Russian River is home to numerous species of birds and animals. It is a local treasure it is open to the public and offers miles of beautiful hiking and biking trails. Along with preserving natural habitats, the Balletto familys altruistic tendencies also include their staff they may be the only winery with a regulation-sized baseball diamond on the property, built because the vineyard crew asked John Balletto to sponsor their baseball league. John not only sponsored the league, he custom built a field of dreams for them. Games are on Sundays during
spring and summer. Lets talk about the wines from Balletto Vineyards & Winery their first commercial vintage was in 2001. Now, over a decade later, the wines of Balletto are still going strong consistently garnering good press and winning multiple medals. I tasted a handful of wines during my visit and loved them all. The following wines were my favorites: 2012 Gewrztraminer ($18): This dry, crisp, aromatic white wine is entirely far too easy to drink! Mouthwatering aromas of exotic spices, fruits and flowers lead into a crisp, refreshing mouthful of consistent flavors. A vacation in a glass! 2011 Sexton Vineyard Pinot Noir ($42): In a word, gorgeous! Aromas of black cherry, blackberry, rose petal and baking spices continue as flavors in the silky, sexy mouth. Long, luscious finish. Dont miss a visit to Balletto Vineyards & Winery!

VJB Vineyards and Cellars Purchases Wellington Vineyards

As of March 24th, the Belmonte family of VJB Vineyards and Cellars took over management of Wellington Vineyardss 21+ acres of vineyards and production facility. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, said Henry Belmonte. It gives us a dedicated, sophisticated production facility, which helps us complete our vision for what we want VJB Vineyards & Cellars to be. For the past several years, VJB has housed its wine production in a South Santa Rosa warehouse,but will move all of its production to the Wellington property for the 2014 harvest. The location and layout of the land and the proximity to our current location (in Kenwood) make it ideal for us, said Henrys father, Vittorio Belmonte. The purchase of the Wellington brand also allows VJB, which specializes in Italian varietals, to extend its passion for winemaking to other varietals which are grown on the Wellington property. VJB has plans to produce a Bordeaux-type blend as well as single vineyard Zinfandels from blocks that are more than 100 years old under the Wellington label which will be available exclusively through direct-to-consumer sales. Wellington Vineyards former owner, Peter Wellington, will continue to run the tasting room and will retain control of its current inventory as part of a two year lease agreement.

A Memorial Retrospective of Artist George Rodrigues Work will be on Display in Carmel through 2014
On Saturday, March 15 George Rodrigue Studio in Carmel (west side of Dolores between Ocean and 7th) re-opened with a memorial retrospective of the artists work. The retrospective will be on view at the gallery through 2014. Dad always said that when he was in art school at Art Center in Los Angeles in the 1960s he dreamed of opening a gallery in Carmel. He realized his dream over 20 years ago and he loved to live and paint at his home in Carmel Valley, says Jacques Rodrigue. My family and I are excited to be able to share this show with the area that was so important to him and for the first time display works in our gallery from his entire career. The retrospective will include works of art and ephemera spanning Rodrigues illustrious career and life focusing on his time in California. The Rodrigue family and Bullard have curated an unparalleled survey of Los Angeles Art Center art school works, early Louisiana landscapes, Cajun portraits, iconic Blue Dogs, paintings completed in California, and personal memorabilia from George Rodrigues home and studio in Carmel. With the death of George Rodrigue, our state and nation have lost one of its most unique, popular and memorable visual artists. For nearly fifty years he created an extraordinary body of work that captured the special qualities of Louisianas Cajun culture, bringing national and international recognition to his heritage and to himself, said E. John Bullard, Director Emeritus of the New Orleans Museum of Art who co-curated the exhibit with the Rodrigue family. The Rodrigue Gallery in Carmel is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. The Rodrigue family has released a limited number of prints and mixed media works for sale through the gallery.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINEMAKER FAVORITES
Up close and personal with rockstar winemakers
BY ALEXANDRA CHARSLEY
WCTW: Whats your favorite local restaurant and what do you like to order? JS: My favorite restaurant is KIN in Windsor. When I go there, I get the Purist Pizza. The pizza is based on a recipe from Lombardis in New York, which is one of the oldest pizzerias in America. The pizza is very simple. It uses freshly sliced mozzarella cheese (not shredded), homemade sauce and fresh basil. While the ingredients are basic, the flavors are intense and very pleasurable. WCTW: If you are meeting a friend for cocktails, where do you go? JS: I like to go to Jack and Tonys in Railroad Square (Santa Rosa). They have a great happy hour and I love the atmosphere. WCTW: What do you do for fun? JS: If I am not playing with my kids, I try to play as much golf a possible. My favorite course in Sonoma County is Fountaingrove Golf Club. WCTW: Wheres the best place to relax in Wine Country? JS: I would have to say spending Thursday nights in the summer at the Windsor Town Green is great. We meet up with all of our friends and family, listen to live music, talk, eat and hang out. WCTW: Whats your favorite meal and bottle of wine to enjoy at home? JS: I really enjoy barbecuing on my deck, while my kids are running around having fun. Typically we are grilling hamburgers. I like to drink our Rodney Strong Dry Creek Zinfandel with them. I think it is a great pairing. WCTW: What other places do you like to hang out? JS: I love going out to lunch at Wurst in Healdsburg. They have great hot dogs, which I love. JUSTIN SEIDENFELD I also like going to Spring Lake and taking a walk, or visiting Keiser Park playground in Windsor. These are great places to hang out with my family, and we all enjoy it. WCTW: Whats an interesting fact that most people dont know about you? RODNEY STRONG VINEYARDS JS: I love to build things out of wood. I started out with a farmhouse dining room table and a Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. doll house for my daughter. Now, I am planning to build another table out of old redwood 11455 Old Redwood Hwy, Healdsburg, CA 95448 tank staves. I like working with my hands and seeing my project come to life. It is also one of Phone:(707) 431-1533 | www.rodneystrong.com the reasons I love to make wine. Seeing the process from start to finish fascinates me. ABOUT: Justin Seidenfelds winemaking career began in 2005 when he was an intern at Iron Horse Winery. There, the regular work of the cellar kicked off a quick rise in winemaking responsibilities that landed him a job at the venerable Robert Mondavi Winery. In 2006, Justin graduated from the University of California, Davis with a B.S. in Viticulture & Enology. He began working for Rodney Strong in the spring of 2010 and works alongside veteran winemaker, Rick Sayre, in the winerys main cellar. As to his inspiration to become a winemaker, Justin notes, People recalling the occasions that wine makes better and memorable is the reason I make wine. Hearing about how and when someone enjoyed a wine I made inspires me. WCTW: Whats your favorite local restaurant and what do you like to order? RM: Its a toss-up between Ume Japanese Bistro where I would order the Hamachi Collar and the Old Redwood Roll or the Russian River Pub I can go in there during harvest covered in grape juice and relax with a beer and a burger. WCTW: Where do you go for coffee and a pastry? RM: Wherever the wife takes me shes the one drinking the coffee. Probably the Flying Goat, Parish Caf or Chloes French Caf. WCTW: If you are meeting a friend for cocktails, where do you go? RM: Healdsburg has some nice bars with great cocktails Willis Wine Bar, Mateos Cucina Latina for margaritas or SpoonBar. WCTW: What do you do for fun? RM: Boating on the lake, fishing, hiking and mushroom hunting. WCTW: Wheres the best place to relax in Wine Country? RM: I like to relax at the coast sipping Sauvignon Blanc and slurping oysters after a walk along the shore or on a picnic after a hike with a cold bottle of ros. WCTW: Whats an interesting fact that most people dont know about you? RM: I taught math for 26 years. ABOUT: Rick Moshins fascination with fermentation began with homemade beer, but he soon turned his attention to wine. A former San Jose State University math instructor, Rick made prudent use of his math skills to design a four-tier gravity flow winery for small-lot wine production at Moshin Vineyards. Acquiring a vineyard was a dream that became a reality for him in 1989 when he and his family decided to purchase a 10-acre Pinot Noir vineyard in Sonoma County. His goal for producing the highest quality wines inspired him to grow this endeavor into a full-fledged winery.
