INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER


BY LEN NAPOLITANO

What is the relationship between wine and weather?


Annual variations in weather explain why the wine consumer
might see higher wine prices one year or more choices of great wines
in another. Every growing season has a different number of days of
sun, rain, fog, mist, hail, frost and wind. Whats more, the timing of
any of these individual events between March and October could
mean the difference between a perfect year for wine growing or a
horrible crop of grapes. This is why a vintage the year in which
grapes were harvested is stated on most wine labels.
Poor growing-season weather, such as severe frost or hail, can
destroy or spoil crops, bringing increased prices or fewer high-quality
wines, or both, from that vintage. However, it is possible to find great
wines from not-so-great vintages, and vice versa. Its also possible,
though rare, that a single year can produce both high volume and
high quality, such as the 2012 vintage in much of California. Devoid
of damaging heat spikes or frost, it was a year with a near-perfect
combination of temperature, rain, and sunshine.
With the help of vintage charts, the growing seasons of major
regions around the world can be compared. If you buy wine at
specialty shops, vintage charts are normally available for reference.
Californias consistently good weather makes year-to-year vintage
variations less significant than appellations in, say, New York State,
where excessive rains one summer could ruin a vintage; or France,
where irrigating vineyards during dry periods is not permitted. (Thats
life in a controlled appellation of origin.) Successful wines in some
parts of the wine-making world depend heavily on favorable weather,
so the vintage year on a label carries more meaning.
A good vintage has warm days, cool nights, and a long mild

summer. A consistently cool summer ripens grapes too slowly,


creating an imbalance of high acidity with low sugar, increasing
tartness in that years wines. At the other extreme, if weather
conditions bring an avalanche of extremely hot days, sugar levels
skyrocket and acidity virtually disappears, producing flat and heavy
wines. Rain during, or nearing harvest can also upset the balance. For
some delicate, thin-skinned varieties like pinot noir, excess moisture
dilutes juice inside grapes and thins out wine. It may even form rot
on grape clusters, reducing the amount of quality wine produced
from the affected crop.

BY JOSH STEIN

If I Could Keep Time in a Barrel


The end of Spring brings heat, and with it, lots of things start to
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 from ages ago, which means its 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 bottlings,
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 a lot of oxygen all at once.
Red wines, on the other hand, 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 created by the angels share, 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 allowing 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 allwe 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.
Regardless of which decisions are made, 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. 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 minds
of their own. Consider that when you pop the next bottle and
enjoy!

PEJU PROVINCE
More than Thirty Years of Amazing Experiences!

Peju is a world unto itself and tasting experiences unlike anything else you
can find. Originally founded in 1982 by Tony and Herta Peju on thirty acres in
Rutherford, Peju is now also the responsibility of daughters Lisa and Ariana and
has expanded its reach to include the 128-acre Persephone Ranch in Pope
Valley, too. The winery is well known for its highly regarded bottlings of
Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc,
Syrah and several blends, including the proprietary Provence, a red and white
cuve, and Fifty/Fifty, an equal mix of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the 2009
bottling of which was declared one of Twelve Napa Standouts by Wine
Spectator. There are also several tasting-room-only releases, including the lovely
white Carnival; Peju Pink, with ten percent of its proceeds funding cancer
assistance in the Valley; and the Ros of Syrah.
Thirty years on, the entire family is deeply committed to sustainable farming
practices to ensure that the land will be preserved for future generations. Pejus
H.B. Vineyard in Rutherford is certified organic while the Persephone Ranch
and Wappo Vineyard are sustainably farmed; Ariana Peju launched the
Harvesting of the Sun project by taking Peju solar in 2006. To date, 720 panels
have been installed over 10,000-square-feet of the winerys roof, generating 36%
percent of the winerys needs. In 2009, Peju was certified as a Napa County
Green Winery & Bay Area Green Business, and they offer their employees a cash
incentive toward the purchase of an electric vehicle.
Its not just the wines and the way theyre grown which makes Peju
unforgettable, though. The winery and its surroundings and the variety of
settings from which to taste the wines are what truly sets Peju apart. Driving
down the leaning-Sycamore-lined private lane away from Highway 29 leads to
first sight of the Tower, the fifty-foot, copper-topped space which houses the
main tasting area, framed on the inside in gorgeous woods and an antique 1906
ten-by-twenty-foot stained glass window and on the outside by stone and
copper. Surrounding this are the gardens designed by Tony and personally
maintained by Herta herself. A Curly Willow grows next to a koi pond on the
Willow Creek side of the garden, and rocks from the Pope Valley estate dot the
area. The circular courtyard in front of the winery contains a magnificent
Camphora Tree which is used to drape lighting for galas outside and which
ushers you into the experiences which await.
Intimate private wine country experiences are what Peju is all about and the
Premier Peju Experiences provide some great options. Peju Fromage is a
wine and cheese pairing in a private winery setting, bringing together great
wines with local, artisanal cheeses. Peju Cpage provides a private tour of the
estate, vineyards, and gardens that is complemented by a private barrel tasting
followed by a classic tasting. Peju Priv is a private Reserve wine tasting of
estate, limited-release Reserve bottlings that are only available at the winery.
While all of the Premier Peju Experiences require an advanced appointment, the
winery has thought ahead, and each can be booked online through Pejus
website or on VinoVisit.com.
Later this year also brings several special, tickets-required events, all of which
are online at shop.peju.com. The Annual Grape Stomp is the afternoon of

Along a winding country road, up an unpaved drive and past Gus, a big,
friendly, chocolate lab, youll find one of the most unpretentious, down-to
earth tasting rooms around. The Pope Valley, one of the California wine
regions hidden treasures, is home to the Pope Valley Winery. This serene,
bucolic setting offers a wine tasting experience far, far away from the
ostentatious fare to be found at some of the more well-known wine country
destinations. Here, you will be treated less like a visitor and more like a
friend. To reach the Pope Valley Winery requires a leisurely country drive
that is, in itself, a significant part of the experience. Winding through
picturesque fields, undulating vineyards and oak-studded hills, one gets the
feeling of being transported back in time. The pace here is slower, more
peaceful than the flurry and commotion found along the main thoroughfares
of the Napa Valley. Photo opportunities present themselves around every
bend in the road. A visit to Pope Valley Winery allows wine lovers to step
back in time and experience 40 acres of history. The bubbling sounds of
Haus Creek can be heard as you roam the grounds of this historic winery.
The original farmhouse still graces the property, as well as a blacksmiths
workshop, complete with the tools of the trade. The winery itself is housed
in a historic building that was designed; before electricity was brought to the
site. It was fashioned as a three-story gravitational flow winery with a handdug cave, to allow the wine to flow from crusher, to press, to barrel. The
Pope Valley Winery was founded in 1897 by Ed Haus as Burgundy Winery
& Olive Oil Factory. A century later in 1997, the Eakle family, purchased the
historic winery and gave it a new life as Pope Valley Winery. In 2009, the
next generation of Eakles stepped in. Currently siblings David Eakle as
winemaker and Diana Eakle Hawkins as general manager are continuing,

building and furthering the familys vision for Pope Valley Winery as
a fine winemaking establishment.
Youll enjoy the drive there, but the true prize comes when you
arrive at Pope Valley Winery. This isnt just a pretty place; this is
where some truly amazing wine is made. Pope Valley Winery
produces high quality, handcrafted single varietal wines. The rich,
intense and flavorful wines are created by combining superior fruit
and oak barrel aging in the century-old cave. Visit Pope Valley
Winery and experience more than 100 years of history. The winery
has picnic grounds, a patio with fire pit and a bocce ball court for
guests enjoyment.

J Vineyards & Winery truly offers, as Owner/Founder Judy Jordan says, heaven around
every corner you turn. It is conveniently located just south of the charming hamlet of
Healdsburg on Old Redwood Highway. If you are planning on visiting Sonoma County, take
my word for it and dont miss this wonderful place!
The J experience starts as you wend your way up the vineyard-lined driveway. Park your
car, walk over a wooden bridge that crosses a creek (with a resident river otter how cool is
that?) and enter the ultra-modern concrete and glass building that houses the winery and
Visitor Center. The Visitor Center is large, bright and tastefully decorated. A long tasting bar
spans the back of the room and the wall behind the bar is a work of art. A tasteful selection
of J wines, glassware, books, logo wear and more is artfully displayed on glass shelves and
tables around the room.
There are several delicious options available for tasting wine at J:
The Bubble Room ($75 per person/$60 for Club J members) is a delightful sit-down wine
and food pairing experience, where six wonderful wines are paired with tasty bites created
by Executive Chef, Erik Johnson. I experienced this myself and highly suggest that you take
an hour or so to relax and enjoy this amazing food and wine experience.
The Legacy Room Tasting ($30 per person/$10 for Club J members) is a seated tasting,
held in the Legacy Reserve Lounge, where guests may choose either five sparkling or still
wines. Small bites to pair with the wines are available for a modest charge.
The J Signature Tasting ($20 per person/complimentary for Club J members) offers five
wines, sparkling and still, all produced from Js Russian River vineyards.
The J Terrace Tasting ($45 per person/discounts for Club J members) offers four wines,
sparkling and still, perfectly paired with tasty small bites, on the terrace (weather permitting).
The J Tour & Tasting ($30 per person/$10 for Club J members) is an in-depth one- hour
tour that offers visitors a behind-the-scenes peek at the workings of J Vineyards & Winery.
Strategically placed tasting stations offer sips of five different wines for visitors to sip as they
stroll.
With all of these delicious, educational and fun options available, there truly is
something for everyone at J Vineyards & Winery. Take my word on this plan ahead and
book your reservations! Tell em, The Wine Wench sent me!

Rutherford Ranch puts the focus where we think every winery should: on memorable
experiences and great wines. Until 2002, the property was the site of the Round Hill
Winery. (The current winery was built in the late 1980s where production moved
from its first location on Lodi Lane in St. Helena.) The original owners retired in 2000
and long-time partners, Marko and Theo Zaninovich of Delano, CA, took the
opportunity to acquire the winery and estate vineyards. The property was renamed
Rutherford Ranch to highlight the Napa Valley wines. The estate vineyards were
replanted with new clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, and the winery and tasting room
underwent the significant renovations, which greet visitors today. Outside, the result is a
wonderful flagstone courtyard with tables and umbrellas, a perfect place to spend an
afternoon picnicking within but separate from the busy surrounding Valley. Guests can
also enjoy a stroll in the century-old olive grove and see up-close a couple of cork oak
trees. Inside the light-filled and comfortable tasting room and adjoining Cabernet Room,
the hospitality team offer many options for tasting, tours, wine education and food
pairings. There are various nooks housing sit-down tastings and featuring a collection of
artwork from local artists. The goal really is to give memorable experiences which show
off the wines.
The winery produces several release series. The Rutherford Ranch Napa Valley wines
are perfect for everyday drinking and include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot,
Rhiannon Red Blend, Ros, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel; the Rutherford Ranch
Reserve series wines are ideal for special occasions. The Reserve offerings are Abela Red
Blend (named in honor of one of the winerys original founders), Cabernet Sauvignon,
two single-vineyard Estate Cabs and a Carneros Chardonnay. Also available are select
releases from the familys portfolio including Scott Family Estate wines from Arroyo Seco
(Monterey). The options for enjoying these releases include the Ranch and Reserve
tastings as well as a number of reservations-required intimate experiences custom
tailored to your needs. The delicious Wine and Chocolate Pairing offers the option of
comfortable couches in the Cabernet Room or alongside the artwork in the art gallery,
featuring locally made chocolates paired with wines selected by the winemaking team.

www.WineCountrythisWeek.com

WiNe CouNtrY tHis WeeK | WiNerY FeAture


The Artisan Coursed Wine Pairing offers limited-production
Rutherford Ranch estate wines complemented by several courses of
savory artisan nuts, flavorful meats and a variety of chocolates.
The Vineyard Tour is a semi-private experience including an easy
walk-through of Rutherford Ranch Winerys history, sustainable
vineyard practices, wine production and finishes with a seated wine
and food pairing. Reservations can be made for either the 10 a.m. or
2 p.m. tour. The experience includes a tasting of limited-production
reserve and single-vineyard wines paired with local, artisan almonds,
meats and chocolates, and there is also the option of adding a deluxe
boxed lunch. Speaking of which, the Boxed Lunch and Wine Flight
offers the shady olive grove or the patio to enjoy a sit-down wine
tasting with the freshly made, delicious seasonal box lunch. (This
requires advance notice of at least forty-eight hours but is worth the
scheduled prep time!)
For those wanting to go to the next level of wine knowledge, the
winery offers an In-Depth Sensory Analysis seminar from 10 to
11:30 a.m. each weekday (reservations required). During this
informative 90-minutes, expert wine educators offer a detailed tour
through winemaking, viticulture and the history of the Napa Valley.
The guide leads guests through how to taste like wine professional.
This fun, interactive experience is designed for amateur and veteran
wine tasters looking to increase their knowledge. Alternatively, for
those with the extra time, the two-hour In-Depth Blending Seminar
can be reserved. The staff explains a winemakers typical day and the
subtle nuances of wine tastings, varietal differences and what flavors
complement each other to produce the next great blend.
The summer months bring extra-special days, and there are
several not-to-be-missed events. The winerys Abela Red Wine new
vintage release is cause for special celebration in June. On Saturday,
June 7th, the 6th Annual Art Fair hosts exhibits from thirty local
artists, live painting demonstrations and a painting class for those
with creative minds or with the curiosity to explore their own artistic
side. A guest favorite is offered July 26th the Summer Sensory
Analysis Seminar, during which guests will discover the break-down
of the olfactory components of their favorite Rutherford Ranch
wines. The seminar concludes with a specially paired cheese and
wine reception in the Cabernet Room. Last, but certainly not least, on
August 30th is the 2nd Annual Harvest Dinner in the twilight of the
olive grove, which includes an elegant wine reception and sit-down
dinner with special wine pairings (seating is limited so reservations
are necessary). There are also plenty of events planned just for wine
club members (you can find out about it at the winery or on their
website). As you can clearly see, Rutherford Ranch doesnt bother
with things which arent fun and wine-filled. With three generations
of California winegrowing behind them, theyve learned what matters
and what doesnt. Come on up the Silverado Trail and come taste
these outstanding wines. Youll be glad you did. Enjoy!

Chris Isaaks July Concert Continues the Winerys
Family Ownership Silver Anniversary Celebration

Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

As Rodney Strong marks the occasion of 25 years of Klein family ownership, theyve
made it clear theyre pushing onward with their commitment to Sonoma County and
quality for another 25. Its true too with their concert lineup for this summer, when
they host great names in music starting with Jazz Attack on June 21, continuing with
Bay Area favorite, Chris Isaak on July 13, Mindi Abair on July 26, Chris Botti on
August 16 and concluding with horns galore, Tower of Power over Labor Day
weekend on August 31.
If you head to the winery before concert season, one look at the winery founded by
Rod Strong in 1959 and youll immediately see the Kleins, who purchased Rodney
Strong Vineyards in 1989, are dedicated to quality at every turn. The tasting rooms
entrance, for example, at the end of a long driveway off Old Redwood Highway on the
southern tip of Healdsburg, is in a complete state of remodel. Plans call for a
revitalized, welcoming entry, an enclosed patio with a water feature, new seating, a bar
built from repurposed wood from the winery, privacy walls and a pizza oven thatll
have the support of a new prep kitchen located in the north wing of the winery Rod
had built in the early 1970s.
Enjoy a tour by the friendly tasting room staff and youll be able to sneak a look
toward the winerys second project where theyve gutted a building in preparation for
another state-of-the-art cellar. The numerous square stainless steel tanks will capture
your imagination as they have of winemaker, Justin Seidenfeld, who works for
longtime winemaker Rick Sayre and is managing the project. Justin will put them to
use this harvest, fermenting grapes grown north of Lake Sonoma, beyond the reaches
of the Rockpile AVA, on the Ranch of Crawford Cooley. He says the tanks are the most
efficient use of space, allowing 22% more fruit in the same space compared to
traditional circle tanks. The shape allows the cap to be more spread out for better heat
distribution, which will lead to better extraction of flavor and tannin.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | ON THE COVER


As for the Cooley Ranch, the
land totals over 10,000 acres
and over the past five years,
Rodney Strong has

Malbec.
After the concert season is
done, and, highlighting their
year of silver anniversary
celebrations, Rodney Strong will
host a five-city Celebrity Chef
Tour dinner on Saturday,
September 20, at the winery
and in Chicago, New York City,
Miami and New Orleans. Each

25 chefs, one star for each year
of Klein family ownership. To
date, Chef Ben Pollinger has
signed on and agreed that
Oceana in New York will serve

ZD Wines Eco Tour: A Longstanding


Philosophy on Organic Grape Growing
More than 40 years ago, as the Napa Valley was making its first
mark on the global wine scene, ZD Wines Cofounder Norman
deLeuze set the stage for a winemaking tradition rooted in
sustainable, organic farming. ZDs 1969 Pinot Noir was the first wine
to mention the Carneros region on its label, well before it was
designated an official AVA (American Viticultural Area) in 1983.
Three generations and two organic vineyard certifications later, ZD
Wines continues to produce top notch Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and
Cabernet Sauvignon crafted under the same organic philosophy
Norman took pride in. ZD celebrates this philosophy and its founder
every spring with the release of Founders Reserve Pinot Noir. Made
from 100% organically farmed ZD Carneros Estate fruit, this Pinot
Noir has been an annual way to commemorate
Norman since 2007.
ZD Carneros Estate includes a six-acre Pinot Noir
parcel that was planted in 1997. It is this exact
vineyard block that has been the centerpiece of ZD
Reserve Pinot Noir since its first harvest, turning out a
phenomenal crop year after year. The estate property
also features 23 acres of Chardonnay planted in the
early 1980s. This acreage has long provided a
foundation for ZD Carneros Reserve Chardonnay. In
fact, ZD produced Chardonnay from this vineyard for a
full decade before the opportunity to purchase it arose
in 1996. The winery jumped to secure it, and Norman
immediately began work converting its vines to certified organic
status. The vineyard thrived instantly as new organic farming
techniques encouraged vigorous growth. Three short years later, ZD
Wines Carneros Estate received official recognition from California
Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF).
For a true hands-on vineyard experience with ZD, spring is the
ideal season to attend an Eco Tour and Tasting at the Rutherford
Estate vineyard. The three-acre Cabernet Sauvignon parcel located at
the winery site was certified organic by CCOF the same year as its
Carneros Estate vineyard. The comprehensive Eco Tour and Tasting
offers visitors a glimpse of the same organic farming features ZD
implements in Carneros cover crops, insectaries, owl boxes and
composting to name a few. Guests are guaranteed to walk away with a
deeper appreciation for both organic grape growing and the attention
to detail it takes to make world-class wine. The tour continues to be a
testament to founder Norman deLeuze much like the Founders
Reserve Carneros Pinot Noir produced from 100% organically farmed
ZD fruit.
So what does ZDs organic farming approach entail? To maintain
healthy, fertile soils, the winery plants cover crops such as mustard
and wildflowers to replenish the nutrients in the soil and to attract
insects beneficial to the grapes. Mustard, for example, allows the soil
to better absorb water and minerals while daisies attract insects such

3232

as ladybugs to help keep pests at bay. The presence of


natural predators such as hawks, owls, starlings and bats
is encouraged to further strengthen pest control. Owl
boxes in the vineyard help keep these vineyard-friendly
creatures around, and composting also contributes to a
healthy vineyard ecosystem. ZDs vineyard equipment is
run fully on biodiesel.
In addition to making organic farming upgrades at their Carneros
Estate property, the deLeuze family undertook the project of restoring
the estates historic turn-of-the-century farm house built in 1897.
Work began in 2011 when St. Helena architect Wayne Leong was
hired to design and develop a plan to refurbish the house and add an
eco-friendly farm building. The design incorporated photovoltaic
solar power, polycarbonate siding and a rain water collection system.
Both projects were completed in 2012. Although ZD Carneros Estate
is a private residence not open to the public, there are occasional
exclusive opportunities to visit the vineyard and celebrate the bounty
of Carneros.
Having just released the 2012 vintage of Founders Reserve Pinot
Noir on May 1, ZD is thrilled with how beautifully it is showing and
eager to share it with fellow Pinot Noir lovers. Aged for 15 months in
100% French oak, it is an excellent expression of the Carneros Estate
vineyards terroir. Aromas of dark cherries, rhubarb, plum and cedar
mingle with subtle hints of toasted nuts, sweet vanilla and clove. On
the palate, the ripe fruit and subtle oak integrate beautifully and lead
to a long, silky finish. Although the Founders Reserve is ready to be
enjoyed now, it has the elegance and depth to age for many years.
To order 2012 Founders Reserve Pinot Noir and other ZD
selections, or to book an Eco Tour and Tasting, call the winery at
1-800-487-7757 or visit online at www.zdwines.com.

Culinary Stars to Transform the Bounty of


Napa Valley at Annual Auction Event, June 5-7
Auction Napa Valley, the American Wine
Classic hosted by the Napa Valley Vintners

complement of culinary talent that will bring
ingredients from Napa Valleys vineyards,
farms and forests to a three-day feast for the
senses. This years annual community
fundraiser will be held June 5-7, 2014.
In what otherwise might take years of
long-awaited reservations to experience,
Auction Napa Valley attendees will savor in
just in one weekend culinary creations from
a wide range of Napa Valleys finest and most
sought-after chefs.
Saturdays Live Auction on the fairway at
Meadowood Napa Valley will be a culinary
convergence of Napa Valley chefs
transforming ingredients born of the same
sun and soil as the appellations famous wine
grapes into meals that express a sense of
place. Lunch is a casual, al fresco affair,
created by Napa Valley Masters of the
Savory (Stephen Barber, Michael Chiarello,
Curtis Di Fede, Thomas Keller, Cindy
Pawlcyn, Richard Reddington, Brandon
Sharp and partners Hiro Sone and Lissa
Doumani) with Masters of the Sweet (Tracy
Wood Anderson, Chris Kollar and Wendy A.
Sherwood) adding their artisan confections
throughout the afternoon. Once the Auction
bidding has come to a close, an elegant
dinner by Christopher Kostow, The
Restaurant at Meadowoods three-Michelinstar chef, will celebrate the dynamic
community of Napa Valleys winemakers,
growers, foragers, hunters, millers and
purveyors in a serene setting under the stars.
The flavorful synergy between Napa
Valleys wines, its abundance of worldrenowned chefs and the rich bounty of
ingredients grown and raised here is a
perfect expression of this special place,
notes David R. Duncan, honorary co-chair of
this year Auction Napa Valley and president
and CEO of Silver Oak and Twomey Cellars.
Our Auction chefs generosity in sharing

their immense culinary talents is a testament


to the collaborative nature of our
community.
New this year, Thursdays Vintner
Welcome Parties will show Auction
attendees Napa Valleys relaxed, down to
earth side and the casual camaraderie and
deep agricultural roots for which the regions
vintners are known. Slow, spit-roasted pig,
wood-fired pizzas and garden inspiredcreations are just a sampling of foods that
will grace tables set by groups of vintners
working in partnership to host these events
at six different locations spanning the valley,
from Carneros to Calistoga.
During the Napa Valley Barrel Auction
and Marketplace on June 6 at the grounds of
the historic and recently renovated Charles
Krug, dozens of Napa Valley wineries will
pour current releases alongside more than
40 of the regions most acclaimed restaurants
and food purveyors.

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.

Look for us on Facebook and become a Fan!

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.

2011 Paris Tasting Chardonnay


Release Party, celebrating Roots of Peace
May 24, Noon to 3pm
Tickets: $65/pp Wine Club; $75/pp General Public
Reserved; $85/pp Purchase at the door.
Grgich Hills Estate
1829 St. Helena Highway, Rutherford, CA 94573
Make reservations at info@grgich.com
or call 1-800-532-3057

Grgich has been a long-time supporter of


Roots of Peace and its mission of replacing
landmines with grape vines in war-torn
regions worldwide. In commemoration, the

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.

Judds Hill Celebrates 25th Anniverary


Celebrating 25 years of being a Napa
Valley favorite, Judds Hill is not a typical
Napa Valley winery. Its a small, family owned
spot where, yes, youll find wonderful handcrafted wines, and, yes, youll enjoy beautiful
vineyard views. But in the past quarter
century, Judds Hill had become something
more a slightly off-beat, fun, down-toearth destination where visitors can expect to
have a great experience that goes beyond the
usual wine tasting.
Mission #1 at Judds Hill is making small
lots of really good wine and, after one of their
signature sit-down tastings of at least five
varietals, youll agree that this mission has
been accomplished.
Their next goal is to show you a fine time
while bringing wine off of its pedestal and
into your daily lives. How do they do they do
it? Let us count (a few of) the ways:
1. Education. Judds Hill offers two very
popular hands-on classes to up your
knowledge and appreciation of wine.
Their Bottle Blending Day Camp allows
you to sit down with one of their
entertaining wine educators to create your

giB

own red blend using wines just pulled


from the barrels. Once youve decided on
your favorite cuvee, youll head to the cellar
to put the blend together, bottle it, cork it
and apply your custom label. You can
make as little as three bottles and up to
multiple barrels of your unique wine. Call
with at least 24 hours notice to set up your
Dominari
opportunity to become a Napa Valley
winemaker!

The Judds Hill Wine and Food in Balance


tutorial also gets you sitting down with a
delightful wine educator for a fun session
of learning how the flavors in different
foods and wines interact and play with
each other as you nibble and sip to learn by
example. This is a great way to gain
culinary knowledge and confidence to wow
your friends at your next dinner party!

2. Humor. Second-generation proprietor,


Judd Finkelstein is known throughout the
wine world as having a grand sense of
humor. For proof, one needs only to look to
the Videos section of www.juddshill.com to
see episodes of his two web-series, Judds
Enormous Wine Show and Wine Booty.
They are certainly quirky, comical and
engaging. Theyve gained national acclaim
and the Napa Valley Vintners Association
calls them Saturday Night Live blended with
Napa Wine. Youre sure to get a kick out of
them and gain an appreciation of wine from
this entertaining insider.
Judd also hosts Judds Napa Valley Show,
a weekly radio program featuring the
characters that make our valley the intriguing
world destination that it is. Podcast episodes
are available via the iTunes store.

3. Hospitality and Events. A good time is a sure thing when


visiting Judds Hill. Depending on the season, tastings may be held in
their lovely tasting room, out on the beautiful tasting terrace with
vineyard views or right where the magic happens, surrounded by
tanks and barrels in the winery cellar. All of their hospitality pros
have gone through Judds audition and training program to make
sure that guests are never stuck with a stiff board of a host. The
winerys many Wine Club parties showcase wine, food and various
(often unusual) styles of entertainment while raising funds for local
non-profit organizations.
Judd himself might even stroll into your tasting while strumming
his ukulele to croon you a tune. Weve come to realize that visitors to
Judds Hill should expect the unexpected and know theyre in for a
good time!
The Finkelstein family has been making wine for more than 40
years. In the past 25 as Judds Hill, locals here in Napa Valley have
been their biggest support. Its obvious that this family is having a
good time making fine wine. When you visit this charming winery,
youll be treated warmly, youll enjoy yourself and you will certainly
create many fond memories of your Napa Valley experience.

Judds Hill is open daily at 2332 Silverado Trail, Napa. For


reservations and information, call (707)2 55-2332x2. Visit the

Murphy-Goode Winery Redesigns Tasting Room


goode times inspired by sonoma County roots
To better welcome visitors and showcase the fun, authentic and
carefree spirit of its brand, Murphy-Goode has remodeled its tasting
room, located just off the plaza in Healdsburg. The design concept
aimed to deliver the essence of a Sonoma County barn and include
genuine Murphy-Goode elements from original winery owner, Tim
Murphy; and, of course, to capture the spirit of humor and goode
times, two key pillars for the brand.
One of the important considerations in the redesign process, in
addition to capturing the fun spirit of the brand, was to preserve the
tasting rooms designation as LEED Gold certified, said Katie
Jackson, director of sustainability for Jackson-Family Wines. We
know that our consumers are looking to brands to not only give
back, but run their business with an eye on long term stewardship.
Our tasting room, just like our vineyards and our winery, provide a

Wine Country
Elegance

way to show consumers firsthand how were operating with


sustainability in mind.
The main bar in the tasting room was redone with reclaimed barn
wood, originally sourced from the Murphy familys old barns in
Jimtown, and other materials that were recycled and reused in the
tasting room design. The Murphy-Goode tasting room was the first
tasting room in Sonoma County to receive a LEED certification in
2008.
The new tasting room offers multiple spaces and opportunities for
guests to kick back and create fun moments with friends, all while
enjoying wine. A comfortable lounge with communal tasting tables
encourages visitors to linger, in addition to an outdoor space for
guests to enjoy the weather and wine on a sunny day. Here are some
other ways Murphy-Goode plans to create memorable experiences
for guests:

Challenge Buddies to a game of shuffleboard:


The Murphy-Goode design team commissioned a company that
makes custom shuffleboards. They created a custom-designed rustic
wood shuffleboard that fits in perfectly with the barn-themed design.
Check out Anthony (Tony) Nardis, of Custom Crafted Shuffleboards,
unique work here.

The team tasked A&A Studios, a Chicago-based company that


specializes in refurbishing found photobooths, to find the perfect
booth for the new tasting room. Owner Anthony Vizzari found the
perfect one made by Auto-Photo US in Los Angeles, a Model-14 that
was manufactured between 1960-1965.
The booth is authentic and operated by arcade tokens called .882
tokens. To capture the true authenticity of the photo booth, it
dispenses photos in black and white and color and offers up fun
props including purple feather boas, the brands signature color, and
black mustaches on a stick.
For visitors and locals alike looking to let loose, come visit the
new tasting room today located at 20 Matheson St., Healdsburg, CA.

Up close and personal with rockstar winemakers


WCtW: Whats your favorite local restaurant and what do you like to order?
KM: I love the atmosphere at Underwood Bistro in Graton. I go for appetizers a lot because they
have amazing Pommes Frites with house-made chipotle ketchup.
WCtW: Where do you go for coffee and a pastry?
KM: Oh my goodness, I cannot resist fresh-baked goods. Wild Flour Bakery in Freestone makes
the most unbelievable Sticky Bun bread. I like to go after yoga on Sunday mornings. It puts
me in the best mood.
WCtW: If you are meeting a friend for cocktails, where do you go?
KM: Spoonbar, Healdsburg. Its so chic inside, yet the atmosphere is always fun; really great menu
of both wine and cocktails.
WCtW: What do you do for fun?
KM: I really like the outdoors, so hiking or kayaking are two of my favorite activities.
WCtW: Wheres the best place to relax in Wine Country?
KM: Easily Solage Spa in Calistoga. Its a splurge for sure, but the Mud Bar is divine.
WCtW: Whats your favorite on-the-go meal or food truck?
KM: Sandwiches from the Glen Ellen Market. Made to order, they are creative, filling and delicious!
WCtW: What other places do you like to hang out?
KM: I love the Tuesday Night Farmers Market in Sonoma Plaza. Bring a blanket and your favorite
bottle of wine; its the epitome of wine country.
WCtW: Whats an interesting fact that most people dont know about you?
KM: I have dual-citizenship: here in the USA and in Ireland.

Russian River Valley Winegrowers Celebrates


Russian River Valley Pinot Noir with the Pinot Classic
Memorial day Weekend, May 23-26
Chris Donatiello, Board President for the Russian River Valley
Winegrowers (RRVW), has announced plans for the Pinot Classic, a
multi-day celebration of Russian River Valleys internationally
acclaimed Pinot Noir, taking place over Memorial Day weekend from
May 24-26. 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 Tasting 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, artist demonstrations,
entertainment, delicious food and so much more. Tickets are $65 for
both days and are available on PinotClassic.com. Participating
wineries include: Ancient Oak Cellars, Bacigalupi Vineyards, Balletto
Vineyards & Winery, Bucher Vineyard, C. Donatiello Winery,
Carrozzi Vineyard, Cartograph Wines, Christopher Creek Winery,
DRNK Wines, Dutton Estate Winery, Dutton-Goldfield Winery,
Emeritus Vineyards, Forchini Winery & Vineyards, Gary Farrell
Vineyards & Winery, Gordian Knot Winery, HANNA Winery &
Vineyards, Hartford Family Winery, Harvest Moon Estate & Winery,
HKG Estate Wines, Hop Kiln Vineyards, Joseph Swan Vineyards, JW
Vineyards, La Crema, La Follette, Lauterbach Cellars, Lost Canyon
Winery, Matrix Winery, Merriam Vineyards, Moshin Vineyards,
Mueller Winery, Russian Hill Estate Winery, Russian River Vineyards,
Siduri Wines, Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards, Thomas George Estates,
Valdez Family Winery, Viszlay Vineyards & Family Winery and VML
Winery.
An exclusive evening celebrating the wine, winemakers and
growers of the famed Russian River Valley will inspire guests of the
annual Paule Dinner, this year hosted by Jean Charles Boisset at
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 dinner begins with a winemaker reception,
followed by a delicious three-course, Pinot-inspired menu prepared
by Michou Cornu, Director of Cuisine and Hospitality at Boisset
Family Estates. Attendees will experience a truly unique Russian
River Valley evening under the stars.
Host wineries include Arista Winery, Bacigalupi Vineyards,
Benovia Winery, Bucher Vineyard, C. Donatiello Winery, David
Family Wines, DeLoach Vineyards, Hartford Family Winery, Iron
Horse Vineyards, La Crema, La Follette, J. Vineyards & Winery,
Joseph Swan Vineyards, Kosta Browne, Merry Edwards Winery,
Russian Hill Estate Winery, Siduri Wines, Trione Vineyards and
Winery and Williams Selyem. Tickets are $250 per person and
available at PinotClassic.com.
The Russian River Valley American Viticultural Area (AVA) is
located in the heart of Sonoma County, 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.

enjoy award-winning wines, accompanied by complimentary housemade roasted almonds, either in the expansive tasting room or
outdoors on the Vista Terrace overlooking the winerys perfectly
manicured estate vineyards. Just like the endless montage of flavors
and textures in every sip of Gloria Ferrer wines, theres a lot to learn
about the history, vineyards and traditional mthode champenoise
winemaking. To appreciate all that goes into Gloria Ferrer wines, be
sure to take one of the expertly guided tours. The tasting room is
open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

gloria Ferrer hosts some amazing events throughout the year.


WillMar Pinot Noir tasting & Painting event Sunday, May 18, 11am-1pm

Catalan FestivalWeekend July 19& 20, noon to 4pm
This is a celebration of the winerys Spanish roots and the opening of the winery in
July 1986. The Catalan Festival pairs the unique spirit of Catalonia with the worldclass quality of California sparkling and estate varietal wines.
Upcoming events and tickets can be purchased online at www.gloriaferrer.com.

Where sonoma Meets spain Catalan Festival


Imagine if you could take a trip to Barcelona, Spain, and raise
money for a good cause, all without the transatlantic flight, jet lag and
expense. Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards has found a way to turn
this fantasy into reality. Visit the winery on July 19th and 20th from
noon to 4 p.m. for the 2014 Gloria Ferrer Annual Catalan Festival,
benefiting the Sonoma Valley Education Foundation. Now in its 22nd
year, the two-day festival was established by the Ferrer family of
Spain to honor the opening of Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards in
1986, the first Catalan-owned winery in California.
Each day of the lively festival, guests will stroll Las Ramblas,
replicating Barcelonas popular main street filled with the colors,
smells and sounds of Spain. Along the way they will sample savory
tapas, enjoy paella and cooking demonstrations, and participate in
educational seminars, cocktail demonstrations, food and wine
pairings and a festive grape stomp. Acclaimed Gloria Ferrer Carneros
sparkling and estate varietal wines, as well as select wines from the

54

Ferrer familys Spanish wineries, will be available for sipping. Those


captivated by the mood may also learn to dance the traditional
Sardana or learn about Havaneras. This year, music and
entertainment will be provided by Makru Music and Sol Flamenco.
Finally, each year the handmade artistic replica of the Gegants de
Matar made specifically for Gloria Ferrer is presented during the
festival. These 15-foot-tall paper mch figures represent the Catalan
Medieval King and Queen and are traditional to every Catalan town
festival.
This renowned event sells-out each year. Tickets are now on sale at
www.gloriaferrer.com and prices range from $75 to $100.

taste on bread, appetizers, pasta and grilled dishes. Proceeds from
every bottle purchased will benefit Sonoma Valley Education
Foundation.

Awarding excellence

international guests have visited the estate to tour the winery and
taste Gloria Ferrers highly acclaimed wines. Gloria Ferrer wines
have received over 400 gold medals and over thirty 90+ point
ratings from wine publications in the last five years. Most recently,

Spirits magazine.
