INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER


By LEN NAPOLITANO

What can be learned from a visit to a winery?


Regardless of the presentation, tasting rooms offer opportunities to
discover and learn from people knowledgeable about each producers
wines. If you are unsure of what to ask as you sample their wines,
here are a few questions to get the conversation going:
Is this wine filtered or unfiltered?
Does the winery source grapes from outside its own property or
are all grapes from the winerys property?
How many cases of wine are produced each year?
Do you offer any un-oaked wines?
Before this wine was released, how long was it aged in barrel? How
long in bottle?
Which bottling do you consider your flagship wine
Its interesting to learn the history of a winery and how its owner
got involved in the wine business. Its surprising how many
proprietors began their professional careers in areas completely
outside the wine industry. In almost every case, a deep passion for
wine motivated them to make the transition. Some examples:
B.R. Cohn Winery in Californias Sonoma Valley was started by the

original (and current) manager of the rock band, The Doobie


Brothers.
Napa Valleys Groth Winery was founded by one of the creators of
Atari video games.
Doubleback, from Washington State, is the realization of a longtime dream of former NFL quarterback, Drew Bledsoe.
A vineyard in the peak of growing season June through August
is picturesque, with clusters of purple or golden grapes under a bright
green canopy of leaves. Even better is a winery experience during
harvest, when tons of just-picked grapes head to the production
facility or are already in the process of fermentation. You can sense
the fragrance of freshly picked fruit mixed with notes of optimism for
a new vintage.
If you are looking for a hands-on, one-day harvest adventure,
check out Wine Boot Camp by Sonoma County-based Affairs of the
Vine. Besides having a fun day, you get the opportunity to participate
in a few vineyard and winery operations, learn wine tasting, pair wine
with food, and meet winemakers, winery owners and fellow wine
enthusiasts.

By JOSH STEIN

Whats in a Name?
Sustainable, Organic & Biodynamic Defined
Its a question which bedevils even longtime wine and wine
trade insiders: what really is the difference between the terms
sustainable, organic and biodynamic? And do the distinctions
matter at all? Whats really being asked, in my opinion, is how
much is marketing magic and how much is winegrowing truth,
how much is it everyone drinking from the same grapeaid, and
how much is it a reflection of the realities of commercial wine
production? Its a mixture of all of the above, of course!
Everyone, perhaps, by now understands what organic means in
terms of not using chemicals or ecologically disruptive practices,
but in the context of wine, it gets a lot trickier, especially for small
wineries, which is why there are way more wines labeled Made
with Organic Grapes than straight up organic wines. It is
considerably easier to get certification showing that the organicness of the grapes, derived through the grower, is preserved
through the winemaking than to get a winery or wine certified as
wholly organic. It is not impossible, but it is costly and leaves little
room for error in the cellar. Among a number of technical issues,
there is an absolute limit on sulfite usage, which knocks out most
commercial wines because of the larger batch process in which they
are produced and the necessity to have preservation of the wines in
the cellar, once bottled, and while on store shelves and wine racks.
Going this one better, biodynamic, as Nigel Tufnel would have
said, puts organic on eleven. Based on the writings of Rudolf
Steiner, proponents of this agricultural philosophy argue for
integrative methods akin to organic practices but also root those
strategies within a system of nature-based energy wherein the goal
is to recharge the land ecologically and spiritually; and there is a
certification agency, Demeter, whose imprenteur producers must

receive in order for the labels to legally proclaim the wines


biodynamic. While a number of very high-end producers in the
United States and internationally winegrow according to these
principles, it is expensive and time-consuming, which is why it
remains as a smaller niche in the larger wine world. Are
biodynamic wines better? Taste is in the tongue of the imbiber.
So, where, then, does sustainable fit into this discussion? Its
the least rigorous but the most honest in terms of the kinds of
compromises winegrowers often have to make. While there is a set
of proscribed Lodi Rules, and there are other sustainable
certifications, too, much is self-assessed and self-reported
agriculture. More importantly, the sustainable growers I know will
say they are essentially farming organically or biodynamically all
the time, but they withhold their vineyards from both the costs of
certification or, due to accidental exposure, re-certification and
from the potential losses of being hard hit by, for example, a pest
they are unable to eradicate except through commerciallynecessary, non-organic practices. It is far easier to discuss these
options when it is not the potential loss of your crop or vines;
sustainable winegrowing forthrightly says commerce and
stewardship can go hand in hand through integrative processes like
composting and natural fermentations rather than the
alternatives: unnecessary chemical use or working against the land
in the production process.
As you can see, the potential for these terms to be meaningful
rests with consumer understanding and willingness to ask
questions. Since sustainable, in particular, is a much more wideopen term, it behooves the interested wine lover to ask questions
about how the grapes are grown and what terms are or are not used
on the producers labels. Youll often find that the absences have
little to do with actual winegrowing processes at all and more often
than not result from decisions necessary to keep the winery in
business. If nothing else, your next conversation with a winemaker
should be much more engaging since these are the issues shes
really thinking about behind that smile. Enjoy!

Josh Stein has been in the Napa wine business for more than a decade, and, in
addition to being owner/winemaker of the Stein Family Wine Group, which
produces a nationally and internationally distributed portfolio of wine brands and
donates a percentage of its sales to the children of wineworkers in the form of
college scholarships and support funds, he regularly consults for wineries and
organizations throughout the North Bay and Coast via their subsidiaries, Discrete
Wine Support Services and SF-Integrated Vineyard Management Services.

MACpHAiL FAMiLY WiNes


Wine Wizardry of the Pinot Noir Kind
By JOSH STEIN

851 Magnolia Drive, Healdsburg CA


(707) 433-4780 | macphailwines.com

Passion project is a phrase you see in a lot of marketing material, but though its
nowhere mentioned in the winerys own statements, it is the best description of what has
been going on with fruit from the Pinot vineyards of Californias Anderson Valley, Russian
River Valley, and Sonoma Coast, guided by one mans pursuit of excellent wine produced
through a singular philosophy: My goal is to produce food friendly wines with subtlety,
elegance and finesse, all qualities I want in my life and expect to share with my customers,
says James MacPhail. I like full flavors without compromising balance. I enjoy complexity
and mystery too, and I appreciate the challenges and rewards of making natural wines.
Tasting these wines is not difficult but does require a little planning. Although MacPhail
Family Wines is situated on Jamess property and is, therefore, not open to the public, the
winery does welcome its valued patrons by invitation and appointment only. For a
reservation, email Lauren Rizzolo at lauren@macphailwines.com. The winery offers
comfortable and in-depth tastings by prior appointment Monday through Saturday at
11am, 1pm, and 3pm, and on Sundays at 11am and 1pm, excluding major holidays.
Sometime in July, the winerys first open to the public tasting room will debut at The
Barlow in Sebastopol, a community of producers, growers, creators, assemblers and artists,
all with a deep Sonoma County connection. The MacPhail Tasting Lounge@The Barlow
will feature an array of seated tastings in a unique setting that features a 40-foot sculpture
of welded red wagons, the winerys logo, by artist Richard Van Saal. Until then,
appointments will remain available at the winery. Appoints beginning late July and beyond
are available on CellarPass on the winerys website.
In the mid-1990s, James began working as an old-style winemakers apprentice, with
little formal training. After working with California Pinot Noir legends Mary Edwards and
Gary Farrell, and developing a curiosity for cool climate fruit, James launched MacPhail
Family Wines in 2002. Forging partnerships with growers who share his views of

sustainability and the ability of wine to tell its story, he has gained a
reputation for crafting wines truly reflective of their place.
Absolute minimal intervention is the foundation of winemaking at
MacPhail. Narive yeasts are used for primary fermentation, and
secondary malolactic fermentation occurs naturally, too, without
introducing a culture. James uses traditional methods: prefermentation cold maceration, gentle punch downs by hand, barrel
aging in French oak, no fining and no filtration. MacPhail winery is
equipped with small fermenting tanks to allow James to isolate
exceptional fruit and produce the range of small-batch wines.
As one would expect given the above, the winerys emphasis is on
Pinot Noir, releasing a dozen bottlings of various appellation levels
and vineyard designates, including Gaps Crown, Sangiacomo, and
Wildcat amongst many others. There is also a highly regarded
Sonoma Coast Chardonnay and a Ros of Pinot Noir, for those
wanting Jamess winemaking touch on non-red releases. And I
should mention that a number of the bottlings are extremely limited,
with as little as four bottles allowed to be sold to any one buyer. If
nothing else, that should convince any doubters of both the limited
nature as well as the number of
supporters trying to get ahold of
the wines. Theres a reason those
willing to make the journey
generally get the rewards,
though, and that definitely
applies in this case!
On the horizon for the winery
is the freedom to work with fruit
from further afield than the
North Coast. Since being
acquired by the Hess Collection
in 2011, little has changed other
than the ability to make more
widely available the small lots the
winery continues to produce and
the ability to work with vineyards
from both the Willamette Valley
in Oregon and the Santa Rita
Hills of Santa Barbara County,
new bottlings of which are now
starting to be released. Everyone
involved is quite excited at the
application of Jamess singular
style of winemaking applied to
fruit from famed vineyards in
very different contexts than his
usual stomping grounds (pun
fully intended). Do yourself a
favor and drop them a line or
give them a call: you wont be
sorry you did. Enjoy!

Robert Mondavi Winery Announces Lineup


for 45th Annual Summer Concert Series
preservation Hall Jazz Band opens series on June 28
Robert Mondavi Winery has announced the full lineup for its 45th annual
Summer Concert Series. Preservation Hall Jazz Band will kick-off the festivities on
June 28, with exciting performances in the following weeks from Big Bad Voodoo
Daddy, Five for Fighting, Dave Koz and Friends and Colbie Caillat.
Since its inception, the summer concerts have been my favorite opportunity to
invite our friends and neighbors to celebrate with us in the vineyard, explains
Margrit Mondavi, who organized the original concert series in 1969.
The concert series begins June 28 with a fireworks show and a performance by
Preservation Hall Jazz Band, who will be making their 40th appearance on the
summer concert winery stage. Fresh from their 2013 Grammy performance, the
group will entertain the crowd with their classic New Orleans-style jazz,
performing old favorites and hits from their latest album, Thats It, released in
2013.
The concert series continues on July 5 with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. With their
newest release, Rattle Them Bones, the big-band style swing group celebrated
their 20th anniversary last year. Back by popular demand, Five for Fighting
singer-songwriter John Ondrasik will perform for the second time in the vineyard

CM: The perfect day is different for each guest,


so as a former San Francisco Chief Concierge
who moved here for the wine and stayed for the
river and the trees I continually seek the mostmemorable mix Sonoma County has to offer.
Begin your day with the popular, hearty
breakfast buffet at the Fountaingrove Inn, and
then head to Goat Rock State Beach. This State
Park is located where the fresh water Russian
River meets the salty Pacific, and a brisk-morning
visit to this microcosm of life is a must-do. Then,
head east to Guerneville for a leisurely stroll
through the magnificent giants that encompass
Armstrong Woods State Park, an ancient grove of
Coastal Redwoods; this is a do-not-miss multisensory experience. Both parks can be enjoyed
throughout the year, even in winter!
Now, on to Korbel for a fabulous tour and
tasting; dont forget to visit their Marketplace,
where youll create a picnic delight youll enjoy
later! Of course, I base my winery suggestions on
varietals sought by my guests, but always
recommend a drive to the vintners of scenic Dry
Creek and Russian River Appellations. Among
my personal favorites are Bella Vineyards (great
reds, rustic cave tour, winery artifacts from
around the world), Amista (pet-friendly, worldclass wines); VML Winery (gold medal-winning
Pinot), Lambert Bridge (enjoy your picnic lunch
amid their beautiful gardens with a glass of their
finest!) and the casual Kokomo Winery (to-die
for Zin and MOST gracious hospitality!).
Afterward, enjoy late-afternoon one-of-a-kind
shopping in the Victorian town of Healdsburg;
end your day with a delicious dinner at our
restaurant, Equus, or at the Michelin-rated, small
plates gem Willis Wine Bar.

WCtW: If you were to visit just one winery, which


would you choose and why?
sC: Visit Ceago Winery in Nice (Clear Lake) for
tasting and educational cheese/wine pairing. The
winery is owned by a member of the Fetzer family,
and is surronded by vineyards and lavender fields.
WCtW: Describe the perfect day in wine country.
sC: Begin with a latte and pastry at Model Bakery
(Napa), and then peruse the wonderful shops and
food choices at Oxbow Market. Use a limo service
such as Napatac to Caldwell for wine tasting and
a great view. Then on to Chappellet winery for
tasting and a surrounding view of the lakes and
mountains. Stop at Luna Market in Rutherford for
a rest. Cap off the day with dinner on the Wine
Train (dome car), then a nightcap at Bistro Don
Giovanni to hang with locals and winemakers.
WCtW: What winery do you think has the best
over-the-top experience to offer visitors?
sC: Palmaz Vineyards, it is a precise like clockwork vertical winery in the hill. It has over the
top visuals, wine and owners!
WCtW: Where do you send guests that want to
learn about wine?
sC: Robert Mondavi Winery with a tour by
Richard Miami.
WCtW: Where would you take friends to learn
about and taste organic wines?
sC: Frogs Leap (Rutherford) Theres a large
garden, fruit trees, along with lots of vines. The
staff is very knowledgable and friendly, too.
WCtW: What areas would you recommend that is
not part of the popular wine country?
sC: You have to visit Coombsville (Napa) for
visiting small wineries with great wines.

WCtW: If you were to visit just one winery, which


would you choose and why?

26

MZN: Diamond Creek Vineyards. I choose this


winery because the winery has such a rich
history, opening in 1968. The location is
spectacular, in a very high elevation on
Diamond Mountain. During the tour of the
vineyard, guests travel around the property in
a Jeep, enjoying all the beauty Diamond
Creek Vineyards. The Cabernet Sauvignon is
top rated, with smooth tannins, lush fruit
and delicious on the palate.
WCtW: What's your favorite overall varietal and
where do you like to go to taste it?

MZN: Pinot Noir. I love having it at Artesa in


Napa, Handley in Anderson Valley, Dehlinger
in Sonoma, Flowers on the Sonoma Coast
and Melville in Santa Ynez Valley, to name a
few.
WCtW: Which wineries have the best winerelated gifts for shopping?

MZN: The tasting room at Viansa has a lot of


wonderful wine-related gifts items.
WCtW: Whats the best wine country picnic spot?
MZN: Chappellet Winery. The views looking
down on Lake Hennessey from the picnic
table is breathtaking! The winery is tucked
away on Sage Canyon Road in Pritchard Hill.
This winery also has a rich history, since
1967, offering amazing wines.

Remember: Please sip responsibly! Plan to taste at no more than three wineries based on these recommendations.

Struttin Out the 2012 Struttin Red Blend
By MIKE HyLAND

Photos by Eric Luse

ERIC ROSS WINERY


Open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
14300 Arnold Dr, Glen Ellen, CA 95442
(707) 939-8525 | www.ericross.com

2012 turned out to be a banner year for grape growers all over the
Napa and Sonoma and beyond, and just two years removed, some of the
long anticipated 2012 vintages are seeing the light of day. For winemaker
Eric Luse, proprietor of Eric Ross Winery in Glen Ellen, his yearly
Struttin Red vintage is an adventure in winemaking with new varietals,
new challenges in crafting a winemakers blend with just one rule in
mind: to bring to the palate new and vibrant varietals that reflect the
vineyard in working with Portuguese varietals, its place reflected in the
glass, says Eric Luse. The greatest challenge is needing to get the blend
right in the pre-fermentation stage since the varietals must be fermented
together in order to meld seamlessly.
For his newest creation, Luse selected four Portuguese varieties, all of
which were grown in the Lodi region east of Sonoma. This unique blend
consists of 42% Touriga Nationale, 22%Toouriga Francesca, 22% Tinta
Co and 14% Rare Souzo. The Touriga National provides floral depth
while the Touriga Francesca adds fruit and tannins, the Tinta Co brings
rich, deep spices and the Rare Souzao allows for the amazing color and
acidity.
The intent of the Struttin Red label is to create a challenge for Luses
winemaking abilities. Much like a chef crafting a new dish, the wine is
changed every year using new and interesting varietals, says Luse. The
process often starts a couple of years prior to the actual harvest. Once the
varietals and the high-end vineyard are chosen, it all begins with a
thorough discussion with the grower followed by research of fermentation
techniques and talks with fellow winemakers that have worked with the
fruit, and ends with the grueling task of tasting through the wines!
Winemakers can come from a long lineage of family like the Mondavis
or the Gallos, but the path to winemaking for Eric Ross owner Eric Luse
was via photography. Following his years as a Navy photographer in Viet
Nam, Luse returned home and enrolled in San Jose State originally
seeking a degree in law but detouring toward journalism and
photojournalism in particular. After working for a couple of different
newspapers, he landed at the San Francisco Chronicle in 1980.
The Chronicle has a great food and wine section, and I would get
assigned to come up to wine country and shoot various winemakers for
feature stories, Luse recalls. I kept pulling these assignments and
eventually got to know some of the more cutting-edge winemakers.
The bug bit and Luse enrolled in enology extension classes and
viticulture at Santa Rosa JC and at U.C. Davis, with the total support of
the Chronicle. What really put him over the edge was when one of his
winegrower friends said to him, Theres a quarter ton of grapes and a
stemmer. Go make some wine. And he did and before long his career in
photography became a hobby while his hobby of learning the wine
business became his career.
In 1993 he founded Eric Ross in the heart of the Russian River at an
old Italian winery beginning with some 150 cases a year. Presently, he is

www.WineCountrythisWeek.com

WiNe CouNtrY tHis WeeK | oN tHe Cover


located in the heart of the
Sonoma Valley where he makes
3,000 cases of some nine
varietals. He sources his fruit from
key growers that he has had
friendships with for many years.
From Mendocino to Dry Creek to
Lodi, Luse seeks out the best fruit
for his wines, which includes a
beautiful full-bodied Russian
River Viognier; a crisp and dry
Albarino fermented in stainless
steel; an Old Vine Zinfandel
sourced from a 90-year-old
vineyard; a rich and exotic
Tempranillo from Lodi; and an
exceptional Gout de la Vigne,
which means taste the vineyard,
Syrah from the Alder Springs
vineyard in Mendocino where the
vines carry half the normal crop
load in order to ripen with power
in a colder climate.
For me, it is all about the fruit
and how it is fermented, says
Luse. I am careful not to over oak
any of my wines. Its like grilling a
piece of salmon and then covering
it with a mango sauce. The taste of
the salmon is lost in the mango. I
dont want the oak to bury the
fruit in my wines. For me, it is
always the chase of perfection,
from vineyard fruit to the palette
of the consumer.
Luse believes that a
winemakers place is not to
interfere with the process. It
should be respecting the
individual varietals with copious
amounts of personal attention. A
beautiful Russian River Pinot
needs to taste like a Pinot with its
subtle unique nuances, not like a
Syrah, says Luse.
Eric Ross Winery and tasting
room is located at 14300 Arnold
Drive in Glen Ellen California
directly across the street from Jack
London Village, a destination for
wine lovers who truly want to
taste the vineyard.

Driving along CA 121 between Napa and Sonoma, you cant help but
notice the stunning Domaine Carneros chteau set upon beautifully
manicured grounds. Overlooking the estate vineyards, this quintessential
winery is best known as a petite grower and producer of methde
champenoise sparkling wine and Pinot Noir.
Founded by the noble family behind Champagne Taittinger, Claude
Taittingers search for a worthy U.S. counterpart began in the late 1970s. In
1987 he selected a 138-acre parcel in the heart of Carneros, Napa Valley.
Wisely selecting Eileen Crane to oversee the development of the winery and
vineyards, the team created the perfect California expression of the
Taittinger style in Carneros.
The heart of Domaine Carneros has always been sparkling wines, with
distinctive styles ranging from the classic vintage-dated Brut cuve to their
luxury Le Rve Blanc de Blancs. In 1992 they added rich, complex Pinot
Noir to the portfolio and their passion for sparkling and still wines

unique and non-intimidating way to discover the complex notes in a


glass of wine; how smelling a note of vanilla perfume, before
smelling a barrel aged wine, will help to reveal the vanilla in the
wines bouquet.
Led by Certified Sommelier and fragrance expert Mary Orlin, the
two-hour long sensory experience starts with an overview of the
history of wine and perfume. From explaining the similarities
between wine evolving in the glass and perfume evolving on the
skin, Orlin reveals that wine and perfume not only share a common
language, but also similar olfactory experiences. With your taste
buds tuned and your nose in gear, Mary will guide guests through a
tasting of Domaine Carneros sparkling and still wines paired with
fragrant essences curated by master perfumer Sarah Horowitz. Each
perfume is carefully selected to highlight a different aromatic note in
the particular wine. After the class, you will relax with fellow guests
as you enjoy artisanal cheeses and charcuterie from the famed Fatted
Calf in Napa paired with your favorite wines from the day. Guests
will also receive a perfume gift as a takeaway to enjoy at home. For
more information or to make a reservation, contact Stacey Meyer at
(707) 257-0101 ext. 122 or smeyer@domainecarneros.com.
Join them for Vinyasa in the Vineyard! Domaine Carneros
invites you and your friends to perfect poses al fresco with a yoga
class on the veranda of the chteau followed by flutes of crisp,
organic sparkling wine and a revitalizing brunch! Youll receive a
personalized class featuring your preferred poses, an attentive
instructor and plenty of room to stretch out and breathe for $125
per person or $175 with an additional hour-long wine education
seminar and tasting led by sommelier Christie Dufault. Classes
require advanced booking and will be held on weekday mornings by

HALL st. HeLeNA


A Must for Wine, Food & Art Lovers
By BONNIE ZIMMERMANN

Open daily from 10 a.m to 5: 30 p.m.


401 St Helena Hwy, St Helena, CA 94574
(707) 967-2626 | www.hallwines.com

36

HALL St. Helena is a historic Napa Valley winery originally


founded in 1885. It was long known as the Napa Valley Co-op and
served as one of the primary winemaking facilities in Napa for much
of the last century.
Visitors to the Napa Valley traveling up Highway 29 will be
astonished to see a gigantic silver bunny leaping into the vineyards at
HALL. Bunny Foo Foo is a 35-foot tall stainless-steel rabbit, created
by artist Lawrence Argent, an Englishman known for his stand on
challenging public notions of art. Argent has said that a problem with
public art is its invisibility and that the general public often doesnt
even notice works of art that now crowd American cities.
A visit to the winery will indulge all your senses, with an amazing
collection of 90+ point wines. For example the 2010 HALL
Exzellenz Cabernet Sauvignon received 100 points from Robert
Parkers Wine Advocate. Combined with amazing vistas, great art and
a friendly and wine-savvy hospitality team, a visit to HALL should be
at the top of your list.
Today, the newly redesigned Visitor Center and Gallery 401
Tasting Room welcome visitors with warmth and elegance. Guests to
the winery can sample the portfolio of HALL wines, relax in arborcovered courtyards, and take in the original works of modern art and
sculptures from the Halls personal collection. For a truly exceptional
experience dont miss The Bergfield Tour and Tasting includes a
tour of the impressive grounds, the 1885 Bergfeld Winery, art
collection and the winemaking facility. The tour concludes of the
barrel tasting and seated wine tasting. Reservations are required in
advance.

The Farmer & The Fox Opens in St. Helena


stylish gastropub Anchors Cairdean estate

Kristen Newsom

Stylishly tucked into a food and wine village in St. Helena at


Cairdean Estate, The Farmer and The Fox opened on June 5 for
dinner. Located at 3111 St. Helena Highway North, just two miles
north of downtown St. Helena, the restaurant will be open seven
days a week from 5 until 10 p.m. Reservations are recommended
and can be made by calling (707) 302-5101 or at
www.farmerandfox.com.
Executive Chef Joseph Humphrey, GM Darrin Sander, Chef de
Cuisine Jason LaBue, Beverage Director James Kendall and
Proprietors Stacia Williams and Edwin Williams have created a
modern gastropub with unique touches. Specialties include The
Scotch Egg, freshly baked popovers, game pie and a nightly roast
from the rotisserie. Prices range from $6 to $17 for starters, $16 to
$25 for main courses, and $7 to $8 for desserts.
The bar features eight wines on tap, eight beers on tap and
imaginatively crafted artisanal cocktails. We will focus on the
Scottish gastropub theme while enjoying the bountiful advantage of
our home, explains James Kendall, Beverage Program Director.
The wine list will be approachable and interesting; our cocktails
are rooted in the classics with some twists, including, for example, a
sour made with Aquavit and beet juice which we call the Countess
of Carrack. Our beers will include greats such as Bruerys Mischief
and local favorites too, he adds.
A distinctive touch in todays competitive restaurant world is
that there is no corkage fee. We want our world of wine and food
to be as welcoming as possible, explains Proprietor Stacia Williams,
who is also Cairdean Vineyards Winemaker, so we welcome guests
to bring their own wines. Being in Napa Valley, we want our
restaurant to be a hub for our neighboring winemakers and
vintners. I often have bottles from our winery or from friends which
I want to try along with dinner myself, so I wanted to make sure I
extended that hospitality to others. We have built a strong wine list
offering not only wine from our friends and neighbors but also from
outside Napa Valley, she adds.

38

The restaurants name comes from one of the most well-known


of Aesops fables. Interiors were designed by San Francisco-based
Nicole Hollis. A modern take on the European gastropub, the space
is elegant and approachable with oak paneled walls, leather
banquettes and black-and-white checkered marble floors. A brass
bar illuminated with bankers lamps, customized brass sconces and
oversized bell-shape light fixtures cast an inviting glow. Banquette
seating upholstered in traditional woven Welsh blankets provides
color and coziness; vintage silverware is part of each tables setting.
The restaurant seats 100 guests, including indoors in the
restaurant and bar and outside on the patio which overlooks the
courtyard of the Cairdean Estate village with the bakery-deli
Butterscots, a wood-fired-oven, a three-tiered fountain, the winerys
tasting rooms, the retail shop Rosgal Mercantile and the Redolent
Sensory Experience. It is a friendly, fun village focusing on the
good life, explains proprietor Edwin Williams.
The winery can be seen through the restaurants bar windows:
under construction now, the winery was designed by Juancarlos
Fernandez of Signum Architecture and features a green roof and a
myriad of state-of-the-art winemaking features, including 17,369
square feet of intricately designed caves which open into the winery
building.
Cairdean Vineyards tasting room hours are seven days a week
from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. Cairdean produces approximately 5,000
cases a year. The winery sources fruit from its own estate vineyards
in the Coombsville and Russian River Valley appellations and
contracts for fruit from distinguished vineyards in the North Coast.
Current releases include Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Fum
Blanc, Chardonnay and Unoaked Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Petite
Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Zinfandel as well as
proprietary wines---Leannan Riesling, Haley Margaret (a white
blend) and Zinfandel Dessert Wine.
Cairdean (care-deen) is the Scottish Gaelic word for friends.
The interlocking knot symbol is reminiscent of Celtic knots and
includes four hearts, one for each member of the Williams family.
Cairdean Estate encompasses 57 acres in the St. Helena appellation
at the base of Spring Mountain.

rodney strong vineyards Concert schedule


sunday, July 13 Chris isaak
In the course of Chris Isaaks career, he has released nine extraordinary albums, been nominated for two
Grammy awards, acted in several motion pictures and starred in his own critically acclaimed TV series on
Showtime. His legendary shows with his longtime band Silvertone have entertained tens of thousands of
people for over two decades. Even his hair has its own fan club. Now, after more than a quarter of a
century into his career, Chris Isaak finally created the album hes always wanted to make - Beyond the
Sun, an ode to the glory days of Memphis Sun Studio and the visionary artists who got their starts there Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis. Isaak received his careerchanging break when his third album, Heart Shaped World became a hit when director David Lynch used
Isaaks song Wicked Game in the film Wild at Heart. Herb Ritts video for the song helped make Isaak a
star and sex symbol.

saturday, July 26 Mindi Abair


with special guest elliot Yamin; spencer day opens the show
In a career that spans seven solo albums and countless collaborations in the studio and live on stage,
Mindi Abair has made her mark on jazz, pop, rock, R&B, soul, funk and more. In addition to her
acclaimed body of solo work that includes ten # 1 radio hits and close to half a million albums sold,
Abair was the featured saxophonist on the 2011 and 2012 seasons of American Idol, jammed with Paul
Shaffer on the Late Show with David Letterman and joined rock legends Aerosmith for their 2012
summer tour. More recently, Abair received a 2014 GRAMMy nomination in the Best Pop Instrumental Album category for Summer Horns, a #1 recording with her friends Dave Koz, Gerald Albright
and Richard Elliot.
Elliot yamin is best known for being a fan favorite, and placing third, on the 2006 season of American
Idol, which launched his solo career that has featured gold certified albums and the hit single Wait For
you.
Vocalist, pianist and modern torch singer Spencer Day was raised in the small town of Pinetop, Arizona
by his mother, an accomplished music teacher and soprano vocalist. Her talent and love of music encouraged him to become the singer and musician that he is today, finding inspiration from the works of Cole
Porter, Roy Orbison, Joni Mitchell and many others. It has been an exciting few years for Day, having

performed at the San Francisco Jazz Festival, Hollywood Bowl and at various international events.
Spencer spent the winter of 2014 in the studio working on his fifth albumDaybreak, set for release on
May 6, 2014. The album is filled with a selection of classic tunes from the 60s, in addition to five original
songs that pay homage to the era. The whole album is really a reflection of where I stand at this
moment; more happy than Ive ever been in my adult life.
Doors: 4 p.m./Show: 5 p.m. | Tickets: VIP $75 / GA $50

saturday, August 16 Chris Botti


In recent years, jazz trumpeter Chris Botti has seen his career launch into superstardom. I always wanted
to be the star, but I wasnt down on myself for being behind the scenes for so long. Botti has established
his reputation touring with Barbra Streisand, performing at the White House with Herbie Hancock, and
selling more than three million albums, including the 2013 release Impressions, a Grammy winner for
Best Pop Instrumental Album. He has found a form of creative expression that begins in jazz and expands
beyond the limits of any single genre. With Impressions and the albums that preceded it, Chris Botti has
thoroughly established himself as one of the important, innovative figures of the contemporary music
world.
Doors: 4 p.m./Show: 5 p.m. | Tickets: VIP $100 / GA $75

sunday, August 31 tower of power and Jonathan Butler


Since 1968, Tower of Power has been creating a unique kind of soul music, often hard to categorize, but
the bands leader and founding member, Emilio Castillo, has labeled their sound as Urban Soul Music.
Fans have responded with sold out concerts, driven by hits such as What Is Hip, youre Still A young
Man, and more. Rising from the streets of Oakland, Towers rhythm section lays down a groove like no
other, the multi-layered horns are powerful, and the way they approach everything, from writing and
arranging to mixing and performing, is totally their own. Combine all of that with an outstanding lead
vocalist and you have one of the most dynamic groups of musicians to ever hit the stage.
Jonathan Butler is a South African native whose expansive musical gift has earned accolades in the R&B,
contemporary jazz and gospel fields. In 2014, Butler is celebrating what he calls the season of me and
finally admitting that he is living his dream. He tells the story of his life and loves in the eleven original
songs that came from the heart on his forthcoming Artistry Music album, Living My Dream, which will
be released June 24.

2014 Press Democrat North Coast Wine Challenge


W.H. smith Wines, pinot Noir, 2010, proprietors reserve, California,
sonoma Coast takes Best of the Best of the Best
From the heart of North Coast wine country, Vineyard & Winery
Management magazine (V&WM) and The Press Democrat have
concluded the second North Coast Wine Challenge, a wine
competition focused exclusively on wines produced in this
prestigious region. A total of 167 gold medals were awarded from a
field of nearly 900 eligible entries.
In the good nature of competitive spirit and ultimate bragging
rights, this challenge rated wines produced and bottled by wineries
only in North Coast AVAs. The challenge was created to highlight the
best of each county and ultimately, the entire region. The North
Coast served as its own jury in the decision-making, with
competition judges representing only the best North Coast
sommeliers, winemakers, retail buyers and media.
Daryl Groom led the exclusive event for its second year. Judges
were very, very impressed with the extremely high quality of the
wines. 167 gold medals were given, representing 19% of the wines
entered. I dont believe any other competition in the USA can boast
this quality level. Its a testament to our talented North Coast
winemakers and a reflection of the world-class grape growing
conditions we are blessed with. Grooms expertise includes serving
as wine judge in more than 150 wine shows across the United States,

A New Style of Wines from Kendall-Jackson AVANT


Just in time for summer, Kendall-Jackson expanded its K-J
AVANT collection of wines to now include a Red Blend and
Sauvignon Blanc. These new varietals join K-J AVANT Chardonnay,
which has received 90 point scores each year from Robert Parkers
Wine Advocate since its launch in 2011. These expressive, fruitforward wines are perfect to pair with grilled favorites and their
easy-open screw top closures make them perfect to enjoy anywhere.
Whether a picnic at the park or beach, backyard barbeque or an
impromptu get-together, these new wines from Kendall-Jackson
AVANT offer a perfect pairing for every occasion.
Expressive and fruit-forward, K-J AVANT is a new style of wines
from the maker of Americas number one Chardonnay. These elegant
wines are the perfect companion for a Tuesday game night, weekend
lake trip or movie night in. With summer on the horizon, other than
working on vacation plans and perfecting that tan, hanging with
friends and family is always top of everyones list.
At Kendall-Jackson our focus is always on the quality and
consistency of the wines weve been crafting over the last two
decades, said Randy Ullom, winemaster, Kendall-Jackson. Were
excited to release these new wines for those who prefer expressive,
vibrant wines with a little less oak than our traditional KendallJackson Vintners Reserve. These wines are made even more
enjoyable around a patio table with friends or on a picnic blanket
paired with your favorite summer fare.

www.WineCountryThisWeek.com

The three new wines, now available in stores nationwide, include:


2013 K-J AVANT Chardonnay (SRP $17) is delicious in tropical
fruit, green apple, pear and fresh lemon flavors, brightened with
medium acidity from its coastal-grown grapes. This wine pairs well
with homemade guacamole and tortilla chips or caramel swirl ice
cream.
2012 K-J AVANT Red Blend (SRP $17) is aged in neutral oak barrels
offering rich, fruit flavors and silky elegance on the palate. Enticing
aromas of ripe raspberry and bold black cherry are complemented by
hints of spice and dark chocolate to deliver a smooth and lingering
finish. Expressive and versatile, it can be paired with your favorite
cut of steak or charbroiled burgers on the grill.
2013 K-J AVANT Sauvignon Blanc (SRP $14) is handcrafted to
showcase elegance and bright fruit flavors. Bright, crisp and fresh,
this wine is cold-fermented in stainless steel to preserve the grapes
alluring fruit-forward aromatics with notable flavors of lime,
tangerine and passion fruit. This is the perfect porch-drinking
wine complementing a warm, summer evening with friends over
light appetizers like hummus, seasonal veggies and fresh goat
cheese.

the perfect summer picnics and how to make the most of your
summer right now. Share how youre celebrating summer with

Carneros Vineyards. Original art graces the bottles with label labels designed by
youngartwork designed by young, talented WillMar artists. These images are also
available in poster size sold in the tasting room.
In addition to these exclusive wines and specialty artwork, the Gloria Ferrer
vineyard crew make blue bird boxes as used in the vineyards and donate them to

and made available for purchase in the tasting room with 100% of the proceeds

Coro Mendocino Celebrates 2011 Vintage


with Release Party at Little River Inn
iconic and Collaborative Label debuts Collection
of eight New Wines on saturday, June 28, 2014
Coro Mendocino, a collection of ultra-premium wines produced
to showcase the rich heritage and unique characteristics of
Mendocino County, will debut their 2011 vintage at a Release Party
hosted by the Little River Inn on Saturday, June 28th. The 2011
vintage marks the 11th release for Coro Mendocino, and includes
wines from eight diverse Mendocino County vintners. Coro means
chorus in Italian and Spanish, which is fitting, as Coro Mendocino is
the first wine of its kind to set blending and aging parameters for a
wine distinctive to its region, and the only truly collaborative
winemaking consortia in the United States.
Every Coro wine is a signature blend, individually handcrafted in
Mendocino County from 100% Mendocino County grapes, in strict
accordance with the production protocols and bylaws set forth by
Consortium Mendocino. Zinfandel, the countys heritage varietal,
must make up no more than 70% and no less than 40% of the wine.
Nine other types of grapes may be included, typically Rhone or
Italian varietals.
All Coro Mendocino wines are aged a minimum of one year in

the barrel and one in the bottle before the world is permitted to taste
them. Even then, no one can sip until all of the winemakers in the
Consortium have blind-tasted every wine and determined that the
wine is worthy of the Coro label.
2014 marks the 11th vintage of the Coro Mendocino label,
established in 2000 by a collection of liked-minded Mendocino
County winemakers. The reviews for previous years have been
effusive, calling the wines smooth, lush, intense; sophisticated, fun;
fat, rich, long and stylish with hints of fruit such as blackberry and
ripe plum.
Of course, no two Coro wines are ever exactly alike. Oenophiles
will have the opportunity to be the first to taste the 2011 vintage at
the official Coro Release Party, to be held at the historic Little River
Inn property located on the Mendocino Coast. Each vintner will pour
a sampling of their white and sparkling wines during the cocktail
hour, then attendees will feast on a gourmet dinner, prepared by
Executive Chef Marc Dym of Little River Inn. Each course will be
paired with one or more of the 2011 Coro wines. Afterwards,
attendees will receive a complete collection of 2011 Coro wines to
take home and enjoy.

Americana Makes a Comeback in Lake County


playtime Wines red Blend is latest release
by shannon ridge Family of Wines
Shannon Ridge Family of Wines
announced the release of Playtime Wines
Red Blend, from Lake County, just in time
for the US summer grilling and patio season.
The bottle label art is a throwback to the era
when posters of pin-up stars adorned
various World War II aircraft. Playtime's Red
Blend, adorned with a label depicting a
redheaded pin-up, is an inviting
combination of Zinfandel with small
amounts of Grenache, Petit Verdot and
Barbera. Perfect for BBQ, the wine is ripe
and juicy, with soft tannins and a smooth
finish.
Retailing at a very playful price point of
$12.99, Playtime is now available in major
retail markets at grocery and liquor stores.
The Playtime selection is the newest addition
to an award-winning collection of wines

from Shannon Ridge Family of Wines.


Playtime Wines are a fun addition to our Shannon Ridge Family
of Wines portfolio, says Chris Baker, COO of Shannon Ridge Family
of Wines. We use grapes from sustainably farmed, ultra-premium
hillside vineyards in Lake County, California to produce the Playtime
wines.
Clay Shannon, Owner and President of Shannon Ridge Family of
Wines, says, Its good to have a little Playtime!
In addition to the Zinfandel-based Red Blend, two other Playtime
wines will be released soon: Playtime Blonde Chardonnay and
Playtime Strawberry Blonde a slightly dry ros.

Ap: I have two very active, athletic kids (12 and 14) so I seem to hang out by default at soccer
fields, lacrosse fields, gymnastics gymnasiums, basketball courts and box lacrosse stadiums
Jensen Lane Community Garden in Windsor is a great place to get in some dirty work and
help the local community.
WCtW: Whats an interesting fact that most people dont know about you?
Ap: Im the boy in the bubble allergic to all nuts, sesame seeds, lentils, peas, raw eggs, pine
tree pollen, feather pillows and cats to name a few. I was allergic to all dairy too until I
outgrew that at age 14.

WINERY & VINEYARDS

(707) 433-6700 | www.ferrari-carano.com

ABout: Born and raised in Sonoma, Aaron joined Ferrari-Carano in 2003 in time to work directly with Don and Rhonda Carano on the design and construction of
Ferrari-Caranos mountain winemaking facility. Previous winemaking experience at ZD Wines, Viansa and Franciscan Estates allowed him to develop his craft.
Aaron spearheads Ferrari-Caranos Red Wine Program, including the PreVail line of vineyard-designate wines, all of which is housed at Ferrari-Caranos Mountain Winery in Alexander Valley. As winemaker for our red wines, we are dedicated, passionate and responsible stewards of our mountain, bench and valley floor
vineyards, and I believe our wines are reflective of the terroir of which they are grown.

WCtW: Whats your favorite local restaurant and what do you like to order?
Ld: I love the Quenelles de Brochet (Pike quenelles in lobster sauce) at Bistro Jeanty in
Yountville. They are awesome with a flute of Mumm Napa Brut Reserve Ros.
WCtW: Where do you go for coffee and a pastry?
Ld: Bouchon in Yountville or Butter Cream Bakery in Napa.
WCtW: If you are meeting a friend for cocktails, where do you go?
Ld: Ill get the Blondie Mary at Bistro Don Giovanni in Napa. It is the best bloody Mary made
with golden tomatoes.
WCtW: What do you do for fun?
Ld: Ill go to Jump Highway (the trampoline sports arena) with the kids in Fairfield.
WCtW: Wheres the best place to relax in Wine Country?
Ld: Auberge du Soleil, which is located right next door to Mumm Napa.
WCtW: Whats your favorite on-the-go meal or food truck?
Ld: Sams Chowder mobile from Half Moon Bay. Great seafood. Try their Lobster Roll.
WCtW: What other places do you like to hang out?
Ld: The Napa Library.
WCtW: Whats an interesting fact that most people dont know about you?
Ld: I havent had cable TV in my house for the last 15 years!

ABout: In 2002 Ludovic Dervin was named winemaker at Mumm Napa, bringing the winery a great deal of experience in making both sparkling and table wine. Dervin
completed his winemaking studies in his native Champagne, France, and has a thorough understanding of mthode champenoise production. His skills were refined
during several harvests with the prestigious Champagne houses of Charles Heidseick and G.H. Mumm, as well as a three-year period at Californias Piper Sonoma.
Making sparkling wine from the Napa Valley gives me the opportunity to be creative with the outstanding fruit that is grown here, he says. My goal is to make a
sparkling wine that shows elegance, balance and artistry. It is a way to celebrate life everyday.
