Quality Wines All Under $25

at Wine Garage, Calistoga
Hidden next to a dilapidated ’40s-era former filling station on Highway 29 in
Calistoga lies the Wine Garage. A unique wine shop in Napa Valley that retails all
wine in the store under $25. Sound crazy? Its true. And the proprietors Todd and
Joy Miller, have hit on a niche in the Valley that had been very missed by the locals
there.
“There are a lot of winemakers here that can’t afford to drink the wine they
make” says Miller. “That’s crazy, yes, but who can afford to drink a $65 bottle with
dinner every night?”
2 for 1 on Any Tasting Many people miss the Wine Garage on the first try upvalley, but the search is
including the Single Vineyard tasting well worth it. Miller stocks wine from all of California’s wine growing regions
SAVE UP TO $25
including an large assortment from Napa and Sonoma counties and other Cali-
fornia appellations. When he first sought out buying the initial inventory, “I enlisted
“Best Boutique Winery
& Local Winemaker” a local farmer buddy and his 15-foot box van and off we went all over California
two years in a row hunting down the deals. I tried to seek out the small producers who didn’t have
distributors so I could pass the savings on to my customers.” And Miller did just
that. His store is stocked with high-quality juice all under $25 and all are unique.
Most labels in the shop are unrecognizable – but all pass the same test; everything
2867 St. Helena North, St. Helena
707-265-5000 passes over Miller’s lips before he makes a buy. “If I don’t love it, I don’t buy it,
www.stclement.com period. Sometimes I will taste over a hundred wines in one day, load up the truck
and haul it up to Calistoga, unload at the store, and maybe I will crawl in bed by 3
a.m. Needless to say my buddy bowed out of the deal after their second trip. I
initially recruited him on a ‘hey lets go wine tasting in Santa Barbara’ until he real-
ized how much work it entailed. Poor guy, he had to be at the farm at 5 in the
morning.”
It is all worth it. Millers’ customers love him. He has a unique ability to hear a
verbal description of a customer’s favorite wine and translate that into a recommen-
dation for sometimes a third of the cost. “I have people all over the country that use
me as their local wine shop. I ship right to their door – and the cost of the shipping
is a drop in the bucket compared to what they save on the cost of the wine.
Miller gets deals on Napa wine too. “I have winemakers from small wineries
stop in every week saying ‘I have something that will fit into the store,’ if they only
have 15 or 25 cases of an end-of-vintage wine – I am the perfect outlet for them.”
So head up to the Wine Garage and check out the best deals in the Valley at
1020 Foothill Blvd (Hwy 29), Calistoga, CA 94515. For more information, call
(707) 942-5332. You can also check out the website at winegarage.net.

Exploring the Joys of Russian River Wine Road

by Charles Neave
From “A” (the Alderbrook and Armida
Wineries) to “Z” (Zinfandel, one of the grape
varietals that made the region famous) the
Russian River in Sonoma Country is one of the
treasured segments of this part of California.
Known to some, and close kept by those who
do, it is cache of fine wine and passionate
winemakers. It is something you want to keep
secret, but that you also cannot resist sharing.
In between there is a whole roster of
names, of wineries both large, such as Ferrari-
Carano, Kendall-Jackson Healdsburg (and the
esteemed Kendall-Jackson Wine Center near
Santa Rosa), Rodney Strong Vineyards, and
the historic and fascinating Hop Kiln Winery,
which, among so many, is a personal favorite.

Tasting Room of the Week:
Baldacci Family Vineyards

by Charles Neave
Tucked, almost literally, into a hillside along the west side of the
Silverado Trail, near the Yountville Crossroad, sits one of the small
gems you are sometimes lucky enough to come across as you explore
the Napa Valley. It is Baldacci Family Vineyards, the fruition of a dream
that founders Tom and Brenda Baldacci had for years, one that
began to come together with the purchase of this 17-acre property
in the Stags Leap district at the end of the last Millennium, in
1997.
From the beginning, the winery seamlessly combined a passion
for winemaking with the tradition of a close-knit family.
“Combining these two vital facets of life into one ensures that
every drop in every bottle produced is a true labor of love.” They
believed that the enjoyment of great winemaking and the oppor-
tunity to build a lasting legacy for their family was an attain-
able goal.

Vine Hill Winery Receives Coveted CCOF Organic Certification

by Fred Gillaspy
When vineyard manager,
Rachel Ormes first arrived at Vine
Hill Winery, located in the very
heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains
overlooking Monterey Bay, she
immediately saw the organic
potential that the winery’s property
possessed to contribute to
ecosystem health. So began the
extensive process and dedicated
effort that has now reaped the
prestigious reward of receiving
organic certification for the winery
and its estate vineyards by the
highly regarded agency, California
Certified Organic Farmers
(CCOF).
In her focused organic manage-
ment program at Vine Hill, Rachel
integrates a number of non-eco-
threatening practices, including winemaking. “Some wine drinkers misconceptions about the differ-
integration of an intensive cover- associate organic wine with being ences between organic, sustain-

the gregarious Grenache at Hunter Hill.
It’s not too late to contribute to the “Sip to End Hunger,” 2nd
Harvest Food Bank Drive that runs through the end of January:
