INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER by Len Napolitano

What type of bottle closure is best?


Youve likely been seeing more and more good, quality wines packaged with metallic twist-off caps in recent years. Many winemakers are choosing this closure primarily to eliminate any chance that their wines will be tainted by a compound called TCA. It can come from natural corks and impart a musty smell to wine that destroys the fruitiness. Synthetic cork, sometimes produced in a bold color, is a reliable option to natural cork as a path to untainted wine. But while corks, natural or synthetic, have served wine well for a long time, metallic twist caps do more than just preserve wine quality. They provide a more convenient opening, without requiring a corkscrew, and allow bottles to be stored upright instead of on their side because of the absence of a cork that needs to stay moist from contact with the wine. (This expands the cork and keeps an airtight seal with the bottle.) Some estimate that anywhere from 1% to 5% of all wine is tainted from natural corks with the TCA chemical, but winemakers and cork manufacturers have argued that percentage for years. Whatever the true amount is, it is important to know that corks are not the only culprits of TCA. The compound has also been found on wood structures inside wineries, opening up another possible origination. Unfortunately, fingers usually point to corks and it is sometimes undeserved. Its unavoidable, but consumers drink cork-tainted wines without knowing it. The musty smell can sometimes be too subtle for the average person to notice and, fortunately, consumption of a cork-tainted wine is completely harmless. A winemaker, who works hard at keeping his or her product free of any off odors, and any other industry person who tastes and samples wine for a living, is very sensitive to the corktaint problem and will notice it immediately upon sticking the nose inside the glass. For both these groups of professionals, cork-tainted wine goes immediately down the drain. Twist caps are said by some to age a wine more consistently and naturally than cork closures. Because metallic twist caps are relatively new for closing fine wines, it is too early to know if this claim is accurate for long-term aging. You should know that there are faults being claimed with twist caps, as well. Because of their 100% airtightness, the caps have been blamed for a buildup of sulphides in the bottle which creates a subtle smell of rotten eggs in the wine. Still, most wine producers believe in applying corks to close their bottles, both natural and synthetic, as the best closures for the money. And, in the last few years, cork manufacturers have improved every aspect of manufacturing with regard to cork quality and the occurrence of bad wine from tainted corks is diminishing every year. New to the wine industry, glass closures are making their way onto a few high-end wines. Glass eliminates the possibility of tainted wine and provides a good airtight seal with a rubber ring that sits in between the bottle and glass closure. With thousands of wines on the market today, there is ample room for both twist caps and corks glass closures, too in the future. Twist caps are found on white wines more than reds, in general, since they are more likely to be opened and consumed sooner (red wines are more age-worthy and corks, it is believed by many, enhance that process). The differences will play out over the coming years and decades and each type will find its own niche in the wine closure world. Just be aware that no longer is the twist cap associated with cheap, poor quality wine, nor should anyone be worried purchasing wines simply because they are closed with natural corks. With any closure these days odds are greatly in favor of the consumer getting a flawless wine.

BY MIKE HYLAND Gerret and Tatiana Copeland

BOUCHAINE VINEYARDS Open daily 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 1075 Buchli Station Road, Napa, CA 94559 (707) 252-9065 | www.bouchaine.com

Located on the Napa side of the popular Carneros winegrowing region, Bouchaine Vineyards is the oldest continually operated winery in Carneros. The site, not far from San Pablo Bay, was first planted with orchards and vines in the middle 1800s by pioneer Boon Fly (some of you may have eaten at his namesake caf just up the road a bit). In 1927, nearing the end of the Prohibition era, the property was purchased by Johnny Garetto, an Italian immigrant, and after the repeal he operated what is believed to be the first winery with a tasting room in the region. Garetto sold the winery to Beringer Brothers in 1951, who would utilize the winemaking facilities and make the necessary upgrades along the way. In 1981, Tatiana and Gerret Copeland, a successful business couple from Wilmington, Delaware, heard that the property was on the market and investigated the situation. I was on a business trip in Los Angeles, says Tatiana Copeland, recalling her first visit to what the Copelands would call Bouchaine in 1981. My husband called me to say that a Napa winery was for sale. I flew up that afternoon, put on my CPA hat, asked a myriad of questions and looked around. There were two very dilapidated buildings, lots of bare earth and no vines. However, the beauty of Carneros captured my imagination. The two dilapidated buildings that were photographed by Mrs. Copeland on that visit are presently on display in the Bouchaine tasting room. Long-time admirers of the wines of Burgundy, the Copelands plan was to add vineyards and continually make upgrades while building the Bouchaine name. In 1995, a massive renovation was completed, updating the winemaking facility with new technology and refurbishing the entire facility, blending in with the environment, and garnering numerous awards from historic, architectural, and

most importantly, agricultural organizations. Bouchaines day-to-day activities are handled by winemaker and general manager Mike Richmond and production and sales boss Greg Gauthier both industry veterans who have amassed years of experience in every phase of the winegrowing/winemaking process. Coming to Bouchaine Vineyards is the culmination of my life in wine, says Mike Richmond. Everything Ive learned over the last 30some years comes to bear. We are committed to creating great wines, growing ultra-premium grapes and offering a wonderful experience in every bottle of wine we make. The Carneros region, which spans both Sonoma and Napa valleys, is a prime growing area for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, and the Bouchaine estate is home to the southernmost vineyards of the region. With 16,000 cases of wine produced each year, 7,000 cases are Pinot Noir. We make our wines to partner with good food, says Greg

Gauthier. When I eat, I enjoy my meal with a great bottle of wine. To me, wine flavors combine like musical notes, forming chords and developing harmonious tones or themes. The flavors of the wine blend together until the composition completes itself with layers of sensory satisfaction. The Bouchaine staff likes to hit the road presenting special wine dinners all across the country. We take pride in the wine that we make and we want to be sure it is always properly presented. To that end, we enjoy heading out a few times each month to new cities and making new friends along the way, and of course, tasting and talking about our wines. Venture out into the Carneros countryside and stop in at Bouchaine for a tasting. Youre likely to meet both Mike and Greg and on occasion, maybe even the Copelands. Its a big, down-to-earth family in a beautiful location, and of course great estate wines. It doesnt get any better.

Treasury Wine Estates Goes All-Sustainable


Treasury Wine Estates (TWE), the worlds largest publicly listed, wine-only company with more than 60 iconic brands including, Beringer Vineyards, Chateau St. Jean, Etude, Penfolds, St. Clement, Stags Leap Winery and Wolf Blass announced that 100% of its company-owned and leased vineyards in California are now certified as sustainable by third-parties. The companys vineyards in the North Coast have all received certification from the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance (CSWA), and its vineyards in the Central Coast by the Sustainability in Practice (SIP) program. These certification programs require applicants to meet eligibility prerequisites, conduct assessments of vineyard operations, and create and implement annual action plans to show continuous improvement. TWE is committed to leading the wine industry in Corporate Social Responsibility. Michael Kluczko, Senior Vice President of Americas Supply, said, At Treasury Wine Estates, sustainability is integral to our company culture and long-term success. We have a long-running commitment to embedding sustainability throughout every part of our business. Todays announcement is affirmation of our sustainable farming practices and specifically to the actions our supply and viticulture teams have taken over the last three years to achieve this recognition. We rely on the environment to grow our grapes and to make our wine. It's our responsibility to look after it. TWEs sustainable farming practices are adapted to each vineyards particular needs, with a focus on continuous improvement. Specific examples include: Energy Conservation: The company reduced its energy consumption by 20% between 2008 and 2011. Energy consumption and carbon emissions were reduced through ongoing efforts including the installation of solar arrays across its sites the largest for a wine company in the State of California, installing high-efficiency lighting at all facilities, upgrading refrigeration equipment at its Asti site in Cloverdale and more. Sustainable Agricultural: The company participates in the Fish Friendly Farming program and maintains natural watersheds to protect rivers and streams from sediment run-off; over 250 owl boxes and falcon perches have been installed in vineyards to naturally control rodents; compost and cover crops are utilized to improve soil health, increase organic matter content and prevent soil erosion and compaction; minimal tillage is done to aid in soil carbon storage; falconers are utilized in select vineyards for sustainable management of starlings during harvest. Water Conservation: Vineyards are irrigated through drip irrigation systems based on soil and plant moisture monitoring, soil type and vineyard observations to maximize water use efficiency; overhead sprinklers for frost protection were replaced by new generation, temperature-controlled frost fans that use clean (propane) fuel. Habitat Conservation / Wildlife Protection: Vineyards are planted around existing oak trees and oak woodlands; riparian habitat revegetated along the Napa River; wildlife corridors installed to preserve native habitat and migration patterns of species including kit fox, deer, bobcats and coyotes; river road crossing and fish ladder removed on the Redwood Creek at Knights Valley to allow upstream migration of steelhead; native flowering cover crops are planted to provide habitat and food sources for beneficial insects. Natural Resource Protection: Vineyards have regular soil and water testing to monitor and protect soil health and water quality; vine nutrition monitoring is done annually for precise management of the vineyard. Social Equity: TWE is committed to providing a safe work environment for all employees and scored the highest possible ranking for its safety program by CSWA. The company owns and leases approximately 6,000 acres of vineyards in California, including: Abbott, Asti, Bale Lane, Bancroft, Camatta, Cat Canyon, Grace Benoist, Big Ranch Road, Chabot, Chateau St. Jean, Clear Mountain, Dos Rios, Foote Home, Gamble, Knights Valley, La Petite Etoile, Marston, Meridian Home, North Canyon, St. Clement, St. Helena Home, Stags Leap, Stanly Ranch, Steinhauer Ranch and Yountville. Additionally, all of the companys vineyards in Australia are certified as sustainable by the Entwine program and in New Zealand by the Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand program.

Thirty Years of Making Guests Feel Welcomed
BY JOSH STEIN

PEJU PROVINCE WINERY 8466 Saint Helena Highway, Rutherford, CA 94573 (707) 963-3600 | www.peju.com Connect with Peju on Facebook and Twitter!

Peju does an amazing job of taking a visitor from the motorway attitude of Highway 29 to the serenity and ease of their way. Here, you will forget that the surrounding Valley exists at all while the winery team presents a world unto itself and tasting experiences unlike anything else in the Valley. 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 Persephone Ranch in Pope Valley and the Wappo Vineyard in eastsides Dutch Henry Canyon, too. Thirty years in, 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 and Bay Area Green Business, and Tony even offered cash incentives for staff to switch to electric vehicles. 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 cuvee, and Fifty/Fifty, an equal mix of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the 2009 bottling of which was just declared one of Twelve Napa Standouts by Wine Spectator. There are also several tasting-roomonly releases perfect for the summer, including the lovely white Carnival; Peju Pink, with ten percent of its proceeds funding cancer assistance in the Valley; and Ros of Syrah. Its not just the wines, by any means, which make Peju unforgettable. The winery and its surroundings and the variety of options for experiencing the wines are what truly set Peju apart. Driving down the leaning-Sycamore-lined private lane away from Highway 29 leads to first sight of the Tower, the fifty-foot, coppertopped 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 the Tower 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 usheres you into the experiences which await. Even a regular tasting at Peju is far and away anything but regular. The Classic Tasting is conducted in a novel presentation style, with groups of tasters spending time with an ambassador who discusses the wine, winemaking and the winery itself. There is also a Private Tasting available several times each morning for those who desire some special alone time or for larger groups. The Private Reserve Tasting is available by reservation only and is hosted in the Uluru room on Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings, and the Fifty/Fifty Vertical Tasting, midweek and weekends, provides the opportunity for a private tasting of this unique estate Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend. Equally, individualizing the experience is what Peju is all about, so the Premier Peju Experiences give some great options. Peju Fromage is a wine and cheese tasting in the Peju Kitchen, bringing great wines together with local artisan cheeses. Peju Cpage presents a private tour of the estate, vineyards and gardens in combination with a barrel tasting. Peju Priv is a reserve wine tasting of winery-only, limited-release bottlings in the beautiful Uluru Room. 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. While online, youll also be able to buy tickets for upcoming winery events. These include Peju Chef de Table events, which allow you to enjoy a private tasting of Peju wines accompanied by local artisan cheeses in the Tower. Following the tasting, guests experience Executive Chef Emily Bullers Farm to Table luncheon a regional culinary exploration of seasonal dishes prepared and served in the Peju Kitchen. The Peju Interactive Exprience Culinaire goes a step further by allowing you to work with the chef to prepare the lunch. Youll also notice a number of upcoming one-time events you wont want to miss. August 25ths Roll Out the Barrels is the grape stomp event for 2012, combining a European breakfast spread of croissants, breads, charcuteries and cheeses with barrel samples and crushing. September 29ths Harvest Tasting & Vineyard Dinner provides an intimate, family-style meal made from the bounty of local, Harvest-time ingredients, barrel tasting and live music in the HB vineyard for a Farm to Table feast for the senses. As you can see, there is more than you can possibily imagine awaiting you at Peju Province, and thats what makes Peju special everything has been thoughtfully considered ahead of time, turning even the most common of Napa moments a tasting of wines in a tasting room into a special, memorable, uncommon event. Come on out to Rutherford and experience whats made Peju unique for thirty years. You wont be sorry, and you really wont want to leave. Enjoy!

Dont Miss the Judds Hill Lobster Luau WineFest


There are a lot of great parties to be found in wine country. And, one of the best parties of the summer is the Lobster Luau WineFest that happens every year at Judds Hill Winery and Microcrush. This seafoodfeasting extravaganza features mounds of crustaceans, copious amounts of wine, live entertainment and a very special Vintage Aloha-wear boutique where you can pick up that 50s era tropical shirt youve always wanted.

A link to purchase tickets can be found at www.juddshill.com. But dont delay. Seating is limited and this event sells out every year. In addition to producing wines in a balanced and food-friendly style under the with all their varied winemaking endeavors, Judd, Holly and Bunnie Finkelstein maintain their commitment to supporting local community services and the performing arts.

The Wine and The Experiences Just Keep Getting More Memorable
BY JOSH STEIN

RAYMOND VINEYARDS Open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 849 Zinfandel Lane, St. Helena, CA (707) 963-3141 | www.raymondvineyards.com

Raymond has been well known for great wines, but they have not always been known for their presentation of those wines. When the Boisset family bought the property, they did so precisely because of their respect for the people, the effort and the time that has been invested in the stewardship of the land and the resulting wines. This philosophy of preserving what works while adding what can make it work better goes to the heart of the current Raymond Vineyards hospitality transformation and its explosion of consumercentric tasting experiences and wide-ranging wine options even mans best friend hasnt been forgotten! Raymond Vineyards became part of the Boisset Family Estates collection of wineries in 2009 with the expressed goal of rejuvenating the estate and propelling it forward into its fifth decade and beyond. The estates eighty-one Rutherford acres are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc; ten acres of Cabernet Sauvignon are just north of the winery in St. Helena. An additional 210 acres of rolling hillsides are planted to Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc along Jameson Canyon in the southeastern edge of Carneros fog and San Pablo Bay breezes, perfect conditions for white grape cultivation. Raymond has introduced a variety of new tasting options and events to accommodate a range of lifestyles and experiences, or as theyll tell you when you visit, Theres something for everyone. If youre looking for the classic American tasting room experience, the Main Tasting Room presents Raymond favorites, stellar Cabernets and a number of seasonal, winery-only releases. If youre looking to see how great Napa Cabernet ages, the Library Rooms access to a private tasting experience is the place to be. If youre into the presentation of wine and wine service, of how aeration, particularly in Baccarat decanters, has an impact on whats in the glass, then the Crystal Cellars Crystal Experience is something not to be missed. The options dont end there, however. The Barrel Room, candlelit and intimate, is available to host small groups, allowing for barrel-sampling of wines prior to bottling a very unique way of gaining some winemaker insight. The Rutherford Room shows off fifteen of the Napa Valley subappellations, and the Blending Rooms focus is on creating wines greater than their parts. On the flip side, if the

enjoyment of wine as part of your exclusive, excitement-filled life sounds more like you, the Red Room presents a distinctive Napa Valley winery experience. Now open for tastings, the Red Room focuses on the upper echelon of the Raymond portfolio including the Red Room Red Wine and library vintages. Equally, the Grove presents plenty of family friendly activities that showcase wine country life: croquet, badminton, basketball, bocce and ptanque. Not to be outdone, the two-acre Theater of Nature uses plant and animal life to explain the natural winegrowing philosophy in action around you on the property; it foregrounds how all the actors in the system play a crucial part in crafting quality wine, from the soil to the vineyardist to larger forces such as the lunar cycle. Appropriately, there are many different styles of wines now being released by the winery, all done with the goal of giving the consumer lots of great options. Generations is the flagship wine, made from the best lots of each vintage, and the 2008 was just released; its not to be missed as this is the first collaboration between winemakers Stephanie Putnam and Philippe Melka. The District Collection offers Cabernets from different areas in the Valley, including Oakville, Rutherford and St. Helena. The Small-Lot Collection provides 50- to 500- case bottlings of barrelfermented Chardonnay, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Zinfandel and Red and White Meritages. The

Reserve series provides extended aged releases of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc. The Barrel to Barrel provides a miniature three liter wine barrel of Cabernet Sauvignon for easy and extended by-the-glass enjoyment. Last but certainly not the least, Raymond has opened Frenchie Winery, designed with the 46 million dog owners in the U.S. in mind and named for proprietor Jean-Charles Boissets gift of a French bulldog to his wife. Frenchie Winery, hosted physically within Raymonds Theater of Nature, provides five kennel spaces featuring portraits of Frenchie as various historical icons. Overhead is a Barkarrat chandelier, illuminating the water-dispensing dogs tasting bar. While at Raymond you can taste these newly released Frenchie wines: the 2009 Napoleon Red Wine and the 2009 Louis XIV Cabernet Sauvignon. Still need an excuse to come visit? How about the crazy good times of the winerys icon Crystal Costume Ball on October 27th? Given all this winery is now capable of, think about how good those times will be and make your plans now. The truth is, whether you are looking for that special day or not, your time at Raymond Vineyards will be most memorable, and youll want to keep coming back to see what will happen next. There is so much to taste and experience, youll want to plan your time in the Valley around your visit to the winery. Enjoy!

Experience the restored Redwood Cellar, built in 1872, and relive an era that preserves the strong historical roots of fine winemaking. Today, the Charles Krug Winery offers a tasting room that is rustic and welcoming, where wine lovers can feel at home tasting the finest varietal wines Krug creates. The Redwood Cellar, (for private barrel tastings) is a beautiful majestic stone building with 80 windows, a gabled roof and an impressive belvedere, located across from the picnic area. What stands out at Charles Krugs Winery is the personal attention the staff gives their customers. The staff is knowledgeable, relaxed yet, focused on those who love to sip and savor Krugs delicious wines. They speak highly of their limited releases, their light and fruity 2011 Sauvignon Blanc, as well as their full bodied, 2008 X Clones Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, just to name a few. Vintage photos line the walls, showcasing the Mondavis devotion to the winerys history. Now, the Mondavi family is proud to announce the next phase of the 1872 Redwood Cellar restoration project slated to open in fall 2013. They are excited to be working with Napa Valley architect Howard Backen who is renowned for preserving a sites natural and original aesthetics. Im thrilled to be working with the Peter Mondavi family on the historic Charles Krug Winery. Its a wonderful opportunity to transform one of the original pieces of Napa Valley architecture and to learn about the winemaking roots of the Valley, said Backen. The new hospitality center, including the tasting room, will be inside the historic Redwood Cellar totaling 11,000 square feet. The new tasting room will feature stunning views of the Family Reserve barrel room, a lofty ceiling and a towering 9,000-gallon vintage redwood tank. The room will include tasting bars and intimate table seatings. The mezzanine level will feature wine lounges for wine club members, and reserve tastings and events. In addition, a history museum including artifacts that showcase the 150 years of Napa Valley winemaking is also planned. There will also be a delicatessen for picnics with views of Mount St. Helena. So, the legacy continues. Dont miss their grand opening in the fall of 2013, when the magnificently restored Redwood Cellar will open to the public. In the meantime, enjoy Charles Krugs current tasting room where past times and fine wines are preserved in the hearts, minds and palettes of wine enthusiasts everywhere!

FRITZ UNDERGROUND WINERY

Open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 24691 Dutcher Creek Road, just 1.6 miles east of Dry Creek Road. (707) 894-3389 | www.fritzwinery.com

When you are in Sonoma Countys beautiful Dry Creek Valley, stop in for a visit at Fritz Underground Winery, where youll find some beautiful scenery, impressive architecture and positively transcendent wines. The winery sits above 120 lush, rolling acres of estate grounds complete with redwood forests, water features and, of course, vineyards. Just a short hike up from the parking lot, youll find the super cool underground winery and tasting room. The state-of-theart building was constructed in the 1970s in the modernist style of famed Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi. The winery features a subterranean design that keeps the cellar at ideal temperatures for winemaking and wine storage year-round, and a gravity-flow production facility that allows fruit to be processed on the crushpad above the winery and gently fed by gravity to the cellar below. The proof of the Fritz commitment to quality is showcased in a couple of great tasting flights available in the tasting room. For $10, try a flight of six well-priced, well-made wines including a wonderfully satisfying Estate Zinfandel. If you dont know much about Dry Creek Valley, the first thing to know is that its home to some of the greatest Zinfandels in the state. The Fritz version is made in the signature Dry Creek Valley style of deep, brambly blackberry fruit and spice. Theres also a reserve flight available at Fritz for $15. Notable on the reserve list is the 2009 Russian River Valley Reserve Pinot Noir, which shows aromatics so vivid its hard to take your nose out of the glass. Equally seductive is the 2009 Reserve Zinfandel, a richer, more opulent version of the Estate Zinfandel. Theres also some great scenery to take in at Fritz. Bring along a picnic lunch or some sandwiches, grab a cold bottle of crisp Sauvignon Blanc or delicious Chardonnay and take your pick of sunny spots by the winery or down near the shimmering pond, where you may just find yourself dining alongside a Great Blue Heron. Fritz has teamed up with Salt Side Down Chocolates to offer a truly unique tasting experience, the Artisan Chocolate and Reserve Wine Pairing. For $35 youll get to try four handmade artisan truffles expertly paired with four of Fritzs exceptional reserve wines. Youll learn how to expertly taste wine and chocolate like a pro while indulging in rare heirloom cacao dark chocolate, local organic infusions, and terroir driven wines. This unique experience is available without appointment through fall.

Petar Kirilov Named Winemaker at Meadowcroft Wines


Tom Meadowcroft, winegrower and founder of Meadowcroft Wines announces longtime co-worker and winemaker Petar Kirilov is now the winemaker for the Meadowcroft, Thomas Henry and Foyt Family labels. Kirilov joined Meadowcroft Wines in 2008 as a winemaker to oversee the production of small lot wines. During the past four years, the winery has increased its annual production from 3,500 cases to 25,000 cases. Petar Kirilov has a rare talent in the winemaking industry: to be able to assemble a series of different wines, while maintaining our excellent wine stylistic direction from vintage to vintage, said Tom Meadowcroft. Doing this with more than ten different wines is a very complex task and requires a high level of alchemy. In addition to his work with Meadowcroft, Kirilov is also the founder of VinoEnology.com, the successful and unique wine industry website created to assist winemakers, winegrowers, marketers and other wine industry professionals with winemaking calculators, an industry directory, marketplace and wine news. The site is utilized by wine industry professionals around the world. Kirilov grew up in Bulgaria, graduating from the prestigious University of Food Technologies in 2002 with a Masters degree in Beverage Technology, with a specialization in wine, beer, spirits and soft drink technology. He began his professional career at a Bulgarian factory specializing in high alcohol beverages. In 2003 he decided to leave for California and learn more about the winemaking process. He interned at Truchard Vineyards in Napa, being promoted to assistant winemaker. In 2005 he joined Vinovation, a hi-tech wine company, as winemaker and was involved in numerous research and development projects. The Meadowcroft winery is located in Sebastopol, California. The tasting room, which opened in October, 2010, is located at the CornerStone Gardens complex at 23574 Arnold Drive/Hwy 121 in Sonoma, California. The tasting room serves the Meadowcroft, Thomas Henry and Foyt Family wines.

Jaxon Keys Winery & Distillery
BY CHARLES NEAVE

At Jaxon Keys Winery & Distillery, set in the rolling hills of the Mendocino Wine Country, their mantra is to honor the past as they shape the future. One obvious and charming example is the carefully restored farmhouse, built in 1880 and set on their 1250-acre estate. The property also houses their always-casual and friendly tasting room. If expansive views are what you are after, you can enjoy wine on the wraparound porch. As part of one of Northern Californias most respected collection of wineries, the family-owned and operated Wilson Family Artisan Wines, takes pride in every aspect of their winemaking operation and their highly regarded vineyards. To ensure that the quality continues to get even better with every vintage, UC Davis graduate Fred Nickel joined Jaxon Keys in 2009 as winemaker. This follows a breadth of experience making wine in the region for almost three decades, and the Wilsons are confident that his Mendocino County winemaking pedigree will enhance the Wilson Family legacy, one that began in bordering Sonoma County. I have learned I am not so much a Winemaker, more like a Director of Wine Steering. A Wine Whisperer I guess you could call it, Nickel has said. After so many years in the area, I know how the grapes grow around here, he adds. Its a different world up here, and because this is an estate property we work with a double-edged sword. On one side you have complete control over the grapes; on the other side you are limited to using those grapes. But in the end I let the grapes do what the grapes want to do, and so far the wines have been well-received, which is the goal. It is not an overstatement to say that Jaxon Keys has a wine for everyone. They include Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Grenache, Zinfandel, Primitivo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petite Sirah and Meritage, plus a Farmhouse Red and a Farmhouse White. There is also Assemblage, a red blend of Zinfandel, Syrah and a touch of Grenache. The Jaxon Keys distillery also houses a 15th century Alambic pot still that produces acclaimed brandies under the Jepson label. There are three separate tiers altogether, including the single-vineyard estate bottled Rare; the distinctive Old Stock aged seven to ten years in French oak barrels; and the elegant Signature Reserve, a blend of 20- to 25-year-old reserve stocks. Jaxon Keys hosts special events throughout the year, or you can host your own. They also have a spacious guest house available.

The Tenth Annual Petite Sirah Symposium


Sponsored by Concannon vineyard, Livermore, July 31, 8:30 a.m.
The best and brightest Petite Sirah talent in California is again gathering to discuss Petite Sirah grape growing, winemaking and marketing issues as they continue to share their enthusiasm for this stealth variety of consequence. Since PS I Love You began after the first Petite Sirah Symposium, interest for Petite Sirah has grown substantially. In the past ten years, the number of Petite Sirah producers and growers has grown from 62 in 2002 to more than 1,000 in 2012. Anyone who has attended the symposium understands the correlation between what was the case ten years ago, to what is the story today. Petite Sirah is truly an artisan winemakers pet project, with most of these wines being sold directly through tasting room sales and wine clubs. Most wine critics are not seeing these wines for critical review. However, the media tasting that follows the morning session of the symposium will provide a rare view of what many of these wineries are doing.

musical Wine by the Singing Winemaker


BY KIMBERLY HORG-WEBB

Music and wine lovers can have the both of best worlds by tasting musically inspired wines with live music by the singer/winemaker who goes by the name: The Singing Winemaker (aka Steve Powell). Steves signature wines are his red varietals but he offers every type of wine ranging from Dolcissimo, a musical term meaning very sweetly for a Cabernet Sauvignon blush; a white Scherzando, (musical term for playful) for his, light summer white wine; a tawny Port; a late harvest Zin dessert wine along with peach, raspberry and almond sparkling wines. We focus on red but provide wine for all palates, there is something in the tasting room for everyone, he said. We have great wines and the best wine tasting experience. The Singing Winemaker has not released a new red wine in a year, so this summer he is back in action, releasing six wines. Each will have a release party during the summer with wine and food pairings for guests and of course, music for every age and taste performed by The Singing Winemaker. Many of his wines have musical names including his Harmony blend made with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Old Vine Zinfandel. The Singing Winemakers popular Melody which is a blend of Malbec and Tempranillo is always a crowd pleaser along with another favorite, Amador County Barbera, which is a robust Italian varietal.

Concannon growing this heritage variety for 100 years


Jim Concannon had the foresight to varietally label Petite Sirah in 1964, with a 1961 vintage, marking last year as Petite Sirahs Golden Anniversary. Concannon is the best location for the Petite Sirah Symposium, states Jo Diaz, founding executive director of PS I Love You, Inc. Petite Sirah is Concannons flagship wine; couple that with the fact that Concannons commitment to sponsoring the Petite Sirah Symposium has kept it in the forefront of interest by U.S. wine reviewers for all of these years.
