intelligence for the Wine conSUMer

What is corked wine?
There’s a lot of talk about corked wine among winemakers, but, A corked wine is described as having
oddly enough, relatively little among wine consumers. It could ruin an odor of mustiness, dampness, wet
the day for a winemaker, but will likely go unnoticed by the average cardboard and other unflattering compar-
wine drinker. Still, the industry is taking steps, some might describe isons. When you stick your nose in the glass the first time, the scent
them as drastic, to greatly reduce, and ultimately eliminate, corked can sometimes be jarring. Other times it is subtle. In either case, the
wines from the wine scene altogether. wine is certainly drinkable without causing harm. The problem is
A corked wine is not what you may think it is. It is not a wine that that it tends to destroy the fine fragrances of fruit that the winemaker
has been oxidized because of a dry cork that does not seal out air has taken pains to bring forward. This is the main reason the wine-
properly. And it is not a wine that has pieces of broken cork floating making industry has begun using alternative methods of bottle
inside. Rather, it is a wine that has been tainted by a bad cork that closure, including twist caps, which have a zero chance of getting

Tests are done on samples to check for levels of TCA. Unfortunately,
in cases that are estimated to range from 2% to 10%, tainted corks
will slip by, get shipped to wineries with TCA levels above the
average threshold of detection and end up as closures in bottles. The
good news it that cork manufacturers have made significant progress
in reducing and even eliminating the risk of cork taint in wines.
When ordering wine in a restaurant, if you suspect it may be
corked, don’t hesitate to ask for a second opinion. You should be
able to tell from a few good sniffs of the wine inside a glass. Concen-
trate on what you smell, and think about the words above that I
used to describe a corked wine. If any of them apply, chances are the
wine is tainted and will not be nearly as enjoyable as it was intended
to be.

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
UPCOMING: dinner every night?”
- MARCH 18 - Many people miss the Wine Garage on the first try upvalley, but the search is
Marimar Estate well worth it. Miller stocks wine from all of California’s wine growing regions
- APRIL 15 - including an large assortment from Napa and Sonoma counties and other Cali-
Grgich Hills Estate fornia appellations. When he first sought out buying the initial inventory, “I enlisted
- MAY 20 - a local farmer buddy and his 15-foot box van and off we went all over California
Russian Hill Estate hunting down the deals. I tried to seek out the small producers who didn’t have
- JUNE 17 - distributors so I could pass the savings on to my customers.” And Miller did just
Simoneau Vineyards 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
passes over Miller’s lips before he makes a buy. “If I don’t love it, I don’t buy it,
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.

relayed some history that points
to the Ledbetter family’s commit-
ment to farming. Their ag roots
date back to the 1930s, when the
family farmed in the small town
of Delano in the San Joaquin
Valley. In the 1970s, they began
farming winegrapes in and
around Lodi. Their reach now
extends to Sonoma, Napa,
Monterey, Yolo, San Luis Obispo
and Santa Barbara counties:
13,000 acres of winegrapes and
more than 100 winery clients
and 150 full-time employees.
Keith Ledbetter started Vino
Farms in the 1970s. His sons Jim
and John joined the company in
1976 and 1979, respectively.
Kim Ledbetter-Bronson, John’s
daughter, joined in 1998; Craig
Ledbetter, John’s son, and
Marissa Ledbetter, Jim’s
daughter, both began in 2006.
DiBuduo said the Ledbetters
are committed to cultural prac-
tices and employee relations.
They use state-of-the-art viti-
culture practices. They were the
earliest winegrape growers to
adopt sustainable farming prac-
tices throughout their opera-

Zinfandel. The Ancient Vines is a
blend of two different vineyards
in two distinctly different
growing regions. One grows over
100 year old vines from Oakley
whereas the other grows 50 year
old vines from Lodi. The defined
bramble on the nose only sets the
stage for a magnificent wine.
Imparting black pepper, red
currant, and a touch of
cinnamon, the Ancient Vines
Zinfandel begins strong and only
continues to grow resulting in an
exquisite finish. The Bridgehead
on the other hand is a very
different style of Zinfandel. Its
nervy front palate of structured
tannin gives way to notes of plum
and blueberry in the mid palate
ending with a rich finale of
jamminess and truffles. The
diametrically different styles in

essentially any discerning taster.

raspberry is the central quality of

Grgich Hills Estate

Two Generations of Winemaking and Still Going for Gold!
by Josh Stein
Many aware of wine country history probably already know of
Miljenko “Mike” Grgich, but what many may not realize is how instru-
mental a role Ivo Jeramaz has played in continuing the winemaking
and winegrowing trail that Mike has blazed for more than fifty years.
Indeed, the Grgich legacy is a reflection of the evolution of the Napa
Valley itself over the last half century, as well as portending where its
future lies.
Mike Grgich has achieved the winemaker’s trifecta: fifty years in an
intense, demanding business; induction into the Vintner’s Hall of
Fame; and acceptance of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the
California State Fair. Along the way, he has helped develop a number
of critical and now common practices and techniques: cold steriliza-
tion, managing malolactic fermentation, the logistics of barrel aging in
oak barrels, and the importance of organic and biodynamic farming
practices on wine quality.
Mike is assisted by his daughter, Violet Grgich, Vice President of Operations,
Mike brought his family’s Croatian winemaking history with him

To drive people to learn more about the artists, a QR code will be featured on posters in
each window. Viewers can snap a picture of the QR code with their cell phones to learn more
information about the artists. The codes will take visitors to various sources of information,
varying from the Art on First website, Facebook, a video or some other interactive media.
Those who attend Art on First’s launch event will have the chance to meet the artists,
enjoy local wines and mingle outside in the courtyard and inside the art gallery. At 6:15 p.m.
sharp, windows with art installations will light up in unison for a dramatic reveal. Visit
NapaArtonFirst.com for more information or check out the Arts Council Napa Valley on
Facebook or acnv.org.
Art on First also kicks off Free Art Fridays, which will take place every first Friday of the
month beginning March 4. Free Art Fridays will feature a digital scavenger hunt where partic-
ipants can use clues via Facebook and Twitter to locate an original piece of art. Whoever finds
the art gets to keep it. Free Art Fridays will include casual receptions to celebrate the featured
artist each month.
City of Napa Tourism Improvement District & Property Based Improvement District
The goal of the two organizations is to promote the City of Napa as a premier destination
in the Napa Valley region. Through initiatives such as Art on First, these organization’s
missions are to revitalize downtown and surrounding areas with activities that will bring
more visitors and residents into the city itself.

Moondance Cellars and Sonoma Valley Portworks have paired up

once again, offering their award-winning wines under one roof at the
Jack London Village in Glen Ellen. Moondance Cellars owners
Priscilla and David Cohen and Portworks owner Bill Reading have a
history of creating a relaxed and fun tasting experience for people, as
both were part of The Wine Room in Kenwood, referred to by locals
as ‘the best damn tasting room in the Valley.”
Since 1992, Moondance Cellars has been producing and cellaring
small lots of award-winning wines sourced from grapes from the
Sonoma, Napa, and Russian River Valleys. This year, the winery won
three Silver medals at the 2011 San Francisco Wine Competition for
their 2009 Orchard Station sauvignon blanc - Russian River Valley,
2009 chardonnay – Sonoma County, and the 2008 “Life Unleashed”
Napa Valley merlot, of which a portion of the proceeds benefits
Canine Companions for Independence, Moondance Cellars is also
known for their Best of Class and Double Gold Medal Cabernet Sauvi-
gnons.
Sonoma Valley Portworks is the only winery in Sonoma County
specializing exclusively in ports and after-dinner wines. The winery
hand-selects port grapes from California for “ARIS” petite sirah and
“ARIS” petit verdot ports, as well as blending and bottling unique
dessert wines. Sonoma Valley Portworks “DECO” port was the first
port infused with essences of dark chocolate. Their “MADURO” port
was named “The Best Dessert Wine” in the 2010 Los Angeles Interna-
tional Wine Competition.
The tasting room, located at 14301 Arnold Drive, Glen Ellen, is
open Thursday through Monday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 707-
938-7550 for more information or visit the website at www.moon-

7th Sonoma Jazz + Festival
Shows May 20, 21, and 22, 2011 – Tickets now available
2011 is going to be a very “plus” year at the 7th annual Sonoma
Jazz + Festival Presented by Union Bank with John Fogerty on Friday,
May 20; Sheryl Crow and her new band, featuring material from her
new album, 100 Miles to Memphis, a soul-drenched tribute to Stax
Records, on Saturday, May 21; and the Gipsy Kings at 4 p.m. on
Sunday.
Throw in the ever-popular Wine and Song around the Plaza,
which will feature all varieties of jazz from cutting-edge to funk to
piano to old-time from 1:30 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and a New
Orleans Jazz Brunch on Sunday (11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.), and Sonoma
will be awash in great music on the third weekend in May.
Among the most popular aspects of Sonoma Jazz +, for the past
six years, has been the Wine & Song series around the Sonoma Plaza.
It will of course return, and more details will come later as the event
gets closer. On Sunday – given the 4 p.m. start for the Gipsy Kings
on the main stage – Wine & Song will be from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
and center on a New Orleans Brunch. Think of a transplant of Jackson
Square to the Plaza with fabulous food and the sound of a mellow
trumpet, among other things, across the room.
The Sonoma Jazz + Festival is pleased to recognize its new alliance
focused on programming with AEG Live (www.AEGLive.com), the
world’s second largest live entertainment, concert promotion and
touring company.
Sonoma Jazz + has also completed a new three-year presenting
rights agreement with Union Bank (www.UnionBank.com), a
founding sponsor of the event, which will result in the festival now
being known as Sonoma Jazz + Presented By Union Bank.
Finally, Sonoma Jazz + would especially like to thank the City of
Sonoma for its gracious support. Throughout the seven years of the
festival, the city has unfailingly worked to make the process of
presenting music in Sonoma a rewarding one for both the presenters
and the audiences.
Tickets are available at www.sonomajazz.org or 1-888-512-SHOW
(7469) from $60 to $100 inclusive of ticketing fees.
