Bennett Lane Winery Offers A Feast

for the Senses this Thanksgiving
Located just north of downtown Calistoga, family-owned Bennett
Lane Winery’s friendly and casual tasting room is one wine country
destination worth the drive north. The winery caters to all of the
senses, offering guests not just wine tasting, but winemaking as well,
and offers the perfect slice of fall as harvest at the winery comes to a
close.
Bennett Lane’s tasting room has become known as the friendliest
tasting room in the valley and this fall they are offering two incredible
tasting options, sure to please everyone from the wine beginner to the
true Cabernet collector. Their flagship $10 flight buys guests tastes of
four of Bennett Lane’s wines, the Chardonnay, the Maximus Red
Feasting Wine blend, the Merlot, and the Cabernet Sauvignon. In
addition they are offering their Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon flight for
$20 person. This vertical tasting flight includes a
sample of the 2005, 2006, and 2007 Reserve
Cabernet Sauvignon. The most sought after wine at goal at Bennett Lane is to make wines of outstanding

package includes limousine service to and from the winery from either
the Calistoga or St. Helena area (for up to eight people), a blending
session, an individually-blended bottle of wine to take home for each
guest, and a wine and cheese pairing. “Put a Cork in It” is an incred-
ible value and is perfect for couples traveling together, as well as corpo-
rate groups interested in the ultimate hands-on wine tasting adventure.
Visiting Bennett Lane affords tasters another rarity with a small
winery - a likely run-in (and perhaps a last minute barrel tasting if
you’re lucky!) with owners Randy and Lisa Lynch or Winemaker Grant
Hermann.
Bennett Lane Winery is located at 3340 Highway 128, approxi-
mately two miles north of Calistoga, and is open by appointment from
10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. for tastings and tours. For more information or to

It’s a Wonderful Time of Year at Joseph Phelps Vineyards

by Karin Argoud
Want to know one of the best kept secrets about visiting the world
renowned Joseph Phelps Vineyards during the holiday season? Just
like the song says, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” Make
sure to treat yourself, friends and family to a special visit that only
Phelps can give you during the next few months. The crowds and
summer heat has sizzled away and so has the hurry of harvest. Now
Napa has slowed to a new rhythm, a joie de vivre kind of feel. If ever
there is a time to visit, Joseph Phelps Vineyards, it’s now! “This is when
we can really respond to special requests,” says Hospitality Director
Stephen Pavy. “If you call us and want to bring family and friends for
a visit, our hospitality staff will personalize it just for you. Whether it’s
a seminar or a fun tasting, we have the time to create something
memorable!”
And the winery is a hidden treasure you will not forget. Nestled in
the hillsides east of the Silverado Trail, just south of St. Helena, it is far
from the hustle and bustle of Highway 29. Gaze at old oak trees, who, in the late sixties, left a career running one of the largest

also become legendary for their phil-

Phelps has been at the forefront of
biodynamics for years; promoting a
holistic ecology, a balanced ecosystem
and a healthy dynamic soil. This is a
place where the people who are
growing the grapes, making the wines,
and taking care of the property, are all
in tune with nature’s rhythm. Joseph
Phelps Vineyards believes in giving
back to the earth, not just taking from
it. This is a place you can visit and feel
good about the wine you taste, and
the wine you buy.
“From Joseph Phelps Napa
Cabernet, to our flagship wine, Insignia, our wines are a perfect gift
for that special occasion,” says Pavy. “They speak for themselves in
terms of the quality, and we can have them packaged in incredible
ways.”
Joseph Phelps is a family winery with a staff that will take extra
good care of you during the holidays. “We honor the family,” says
Pavy. “It is important to us. Doing something special, creating memo-

B Cellars Opens New Winery

Just in time for this year’s crush, B Cellars Napa Valley Blends
completes renovations of their new winery and tasting lounge in Calis-
toga at 400 Silverado Trail. Founders Jim Borsack and Duffy Keys
announced this week the start of operations in their ‘new-home’ in a
beautiful setting across the Silverado Trail from Calistoga’s Solage
Resort. “After operating out of a co-op winery for the last five years,
we could not be more pleased with our new location and the
enhanced production capabilities we are enjoying by having a dedi-
cated winery tailored to our specific needs and the chance to meet
new friends and neighbors in a spectacular tasting lounge that exudes
personality,” says Duffy Keys. “It’s what we have been working so hard
for since our first vintage release in 2003; now with a home of our
own, we have complete independence and are in a position to take
our business to the next level,” says Jim Borsack.
B Cellars enjoys a loyal following and has earned many accolades/
reviews throughout its young and vibrant history. Winemaker Kirk
Venge has gone beyond expectations creating award winning blends.
According to Venge, the B Cellars philosophy is simply put… “great
wines begin in great vineyards and our approach to blended wines
showcase balance, complexity and layers of flavor in every bottle”.
A visit to B Cellars Winery allows guests to experience the breadth
of Napa’s appellations, varietals and landmark vineyards through our
portfolio of wines. “Please drop by and enjoy our beautiful property
and a taste of our handcrafted wines alongside a fun selection of food
bites,” invites Gianna Furina, General Manager of the winery.
You can follow B Cellars updates and events on FaceBook: B Cellars

Trail is convenient to millions of local residents as well as visitors
arriving by air in San Jose and San Francisco. Our group emphasizes
the common denominators of passion for winemaking and wine

The four other producers in the Wine Trail present people and

the oldest continuously operating winery in the San Francisco Bay
Area. Cinnabar Winery (www.cinnabarwine.com) is situated in a well-
appointed tasting room in the Saratoga village near boutique shops
and stylish restaurants. At Cooper-Garrod Estate Vineyards
(www.cgv.com), visitors may enjoy wine tasting with owner and
former NASA test pilot George Cooper in the historic Fruit House that
was built in 1922. Savannah-Chanelle Vineyards (www.savan-

Noir, there is life beyond that precocious princess grape. Start with a

If you’re adding some chiles to your cornbread stuffing, Poetic

memorable ride for your palate. No fatigue here! There’s always
someone who just isn’t into Pinot, so make sure you have some spicy
Poetic Cellars Syrah or Hunter Hill Rock n’ Rhone on hand to supply
the peppery panache that makes an exceptional repast really pop.
“Holiday Magic in the Mountains” Kicks Off Thanksgiving Weekend
If you prefer to fetch your Christmas tree right after Thanksgiving,
your local tree farms and wineries want to make it easier for you to do
your holiday shopping without leaving the mountains. Keep your
money local with our 2nd annual “Christmas Tree Wine Trail.”
It all kicks off the day after Thanksgiving. Grab one of our trail
maps at Summit Store, Casalegno’s Market, Nonno’s or any of the
Summit to Sea wineries. Ralph invites you to pick up a pizza to bake
at home, or hang out and feast on his own home cooking. While
you’re at Summit Store, stock up on party supplies, including festive
cookies and Gizdich Ranch pies. Why slave in the kitchen? At
Casalegno’s, pick up fresh organic eggs, raw milk and Clover products.
Both stores stock local wines for those last minute emergency party
supply runs!
Select a tree at Patchen Tree Farm ($5 off with ad), then head to the
participating wineries (Burrell School. Hunter Hill, Loma Prieta,
Poetic Cellars, and Vine Hill) for local wines and unique gift ideas,
including custom cork ornaments.
The beauty of living in this mountain community is that everyone
is passionate about something, whether it’s growing the perfect
Christmas tree, making the most beautiful pumpkin pie, or crafting
the most delicious Pinot Noir. Be thankful for the passions and talents
of others: just another of many blessings we can count during this
season of Thanksgiving.
