INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER

BY LEN NAPOLITANO
What is a wine appellation?

An appellation is a defined geographic wine-growing region that is officially recognized for its unique climate, soil, elevation and other physical features that together have a unique impact on its wines. An appellation's boundaries may cross county and state borders because it is nature that creates its geographic limits, not the government. However, the US Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) does get involved in making these appellations official and legal designations, which can be helpful information to wine consumers when reading a wine label. A TTB-approved region is known as an American Viticultural Area (AVA). As of January 2013, there are a total of 202 AVAs designated throughout the US. The oldest AVA in California is Napa Valley. The newest AVA in the US is called Ancient Lakes of Columbia Valley in Washington State. AVAs also can be sub-divided into smaller areas that are also known for their own unique soil and climate conditions. Taking Napa Valley as an example, there are currently 16 AVAs within the Napa Valley AVA, with names like Stags Leap District, Carneros and its newest AVA, Calistoga. The TTB specifies that at least 85% of a wines grapes must be grown in the AVA specified on the label. In California, when no single AVA is the origin of 85% the grapes of a given wine, the label may indicate a larger AVA that encompasses all the various sources, if possible. Otherwise, it can indicate California as the source of the grapes. In a case such as this, the producer may identify on the rear label the different origins of the grapes that make up that wine. As wine consumers experience the wines of different AVAs, reading the AVA designation on a wine label is almost like a having virtual taste of whats inside. Because winemakers and wine enthusiasts know that unique soils and climate conditions produce unique wines, an AVA designation indicates a certain consistency of style that these geographic features have produced in wine over a long period of time. In addition, as AVAs are sub-divided into even smaller defined areas, it follows that the wine style gets even more specific, although a wine from a small AVA is not a guarantee that it will be of superior quality to a broader AVA.

Two ways to produce bubbles

Has someone ever handed you a random glass of sparkling wine at an event, from which you eagerly sipped, expecting creaminess and length, but ended up instead disappointed in the insipid, sweet, bubbled white or pink grape juice actually in the glass? No, it wasnt you, and no, all bubbles are not created equal or equally. Blame soda for ever making you think otherwise since thats essentially how that wine was made. Inexpensive sparkling wine tastes cheap not necessarily because of inexpensive grapes (though they dont help) but because of an inexpensive production process, called the Charmat or bulk process, which accelerates the fermentation and thus the carbonation, creating an artificially-tasting mouthfeel on the tongue. Through the use of glass-lined pressure tanks, carbon dioxide can also be injected into the wine, giving it carbonation ala soda water. The result of either looks like sparkling wine, but it sure doesnt give the same pleasures. Indeed, without considerable time on the lees, the spent yeast and other fermentation by-products, the creaminess we associate with a sparkling wine wont be present, which is why the bubbles dont have the same mouthfeel. This latter, methode traditionelle, process produces the bubbles as part of a long, slow fermentation on the yeast in individual bottles and is what creates the luxuriously creamy yet fruity essence of proper sparkling wine or its various pseudonyms around the world (cava, prosecco, Asti, Champagne, etc.). Its no joke that patience is rewarded in sparkling wines. The timeframe is completely different for each methodology, and that has the impact on the finished product. Equally, because the pressure tanks are proportionally so much larger than a sparkling wine bottle, the liquid-to-solids ratio is far different. What produces the creaminess of the mouthfeel in aged sparkling wines is precisely the length of time in contact with the fine lees thats what forms the modern day frozen bolt that each bottle releases during disgorgement before final bottling. Producers will sometimes move sparkling wines into other glass sizes before bottling in the finished glass for this reason: the right ratio really matters to the aging. In fact, all of the packaging for these wines has to be specially designed, but thats a tale for another day. And so, unlike a lot of other things in the world today, you really do get what you pay for with fine sparkling wines and their natural bubbles produced the low and slow way first recognized by winemasters Francesco Scacchi and Dom Prignon all those centuries ago. Any sparkling wine made the traditional way will indicate as such on the label because the imposters legally cannot, and given the time, expense and headaches involved, those who can want credit where its due! At your next event, ask to see the bottle before you imbibe and if anyone gives you a funny look, now youve got a conversation starter for those awkward event beginnings when no one knows what to talk about. Enjoy!

pinot Noir
Mnage Trois Pinot Noir is a full-bodied beauty made with grapes from a trio of premier California appellations: Clarksburg, Central Coast, and North Coast. It has vibrant cherry flavors, dusky violet notes and silken finish. Wine Attitude: This wine is made in an alluring fruit-forward style, so if youre a little shy, our Pinot Noir will make the first move. The romance begins with pretty violet aromas that lead to a symphony of juicy black cherry flavors with hints of toast on the palate, and to finish, a silky smooth embrace that would make Casanova jealous. Youll swoon, youll sigh this is L-O-V-E, with a capital L.
Cabernet Sauvignon
MNAgE tRoiS
Spice it up with Mnage Trois
English poet William Cowper noted that Varietys the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavor. Local success story Mnage Trois winery agrees. When the brand launched as a blended wine, it resonated with the consumer in a way nobody expected. Mnage Trois is currently the #1 Red Blend and the #1 Red Wine, and is credited as helping pioneer the now-exploding red blend category. At a $10 price point with an elegant package, a conversational name, and an exciting new flavor profile consumers fell in love. So whats new for Mnage Trois? We know our consumers are adventurous and always seeking new experiences, noted Tim Peters, Marketing Director of Mnage Trois wines. So weve added a few new varietals to keep them satisfied. With Mnage Trois, loyal consumers cant get enough of a good thing and have been asking for more. As a result, the portfolio now boasts eight varietals including three provocative new wines Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Grigio. Each Mnage Trois wine has its own distinct taste in addition to its very own attitude. Mnage Trois wines are made in the heart of Napa Valley wine country, so you can visit the tasting room, try the wines, and if you are really lucky, maybe even take one (or three) home with you. Located on Highway 29, just north of Yountville, guests are invited to come enjoy the beautiful grounds and bring a picnic lunch.
The Mnage Trois Cabernet Sauvignon blends grapes from three outstanding California growing regions: Sonoma, Lake and Napa counties. It boasts lush, dark berry flavors, and exquisite silky tannins. Wine Attitude: Here at Mnage Trois, we believe in living a rich fantasy life. The richer, the better, in fact! In our favorite saucy scenario, were being seduced by royalty, helpless to resist the temptations afforded by prestige and power. Intrigued? We recommend you enjoy a regal romp of your own with the emperor of grapes, the King of Reds: Cabernet Sauvignon. Mnage Trois traces its lineage to prestigious vineyards in three of Californias premier growing regions where grapes develop majestic characteristics and distinction. So have a fling with the King! One sip, and youll understand the true meaning of a royal flush.
pinot grigio
The Pinot Grigio erupts with zesty tropical fruit aromas, vivid fruit flavors balanced by mouth-watering acidity. To preserve the fresh, bright fruit flavors and zippy aromas, winemakers cold-ferment the wine in stainless steel tanks. Wine Attitude: At the risk of sounding suggestive, we dare you to indulge in a little skinny dipping. Thats right, were asking you to experience the thrill of the naked grape in a glass of our lively Pinot Grigio. With nothing to hide behind, this gorgeous single-varietal wine bares all with bright fruit flavors and an exuberant acidity that makes you want to go streaking through the vines. Though were technically breaking the rules of Mnage Trois by giving all our love to just one grape, we think youll agree that in this case, one sometimes is better than three. (Gasp! Were not becoming monogamous, are we?)

MERRYVALE VINEYARDS
Rich in history as it embraces the future
BY MIKE HYLAND
MERRYVALE VINEYARDS Open daily from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (last tasting being served at 6 p.m.) 1000 Main Street, Saint Helena CA 94574 (707) 963-7777 | www.merryvale.com
One of the most unique wine tasting rooms in the Napa Valley that is also steeped in history is the beautiful Merryvale Vineyards in St. Helena. The winemaking facility was the first one to be built in the Napa Valley following the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. When the building was completed, many of the valleys grape growers used the facility as a shipping point for bulk wine they were sending back east. Eventually, the Christian Brothers bought the building and installed 2200-gallonoak casks to age brandy. Many of the casks have survived over the years and presently line the stone walls of Merryvales Cask Room, a most impressive event space that is used for wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, corporate events and the like. Often cited as the Napa Valleys most enchanting setting for special events, this unique setting is like a step back in time with long banquet tables situated between two stories of 130-year-old casks. Merryvale was founded in 1983 and purchased in 1996 by Jack Schlatter, who along with his son Ren, are the principals of the winery. The Schlatters are dedicated to both passionate winemaking and sustainable farming. For almost three decades, Merryvale has been turning exceptional Napa Valley grapes into world-class wine including the rich, powerful Cabernet Sauvignon and Carneros Chardonnay, as well as the iconic Bordeaux-style red blend, Profile. Wine writer Robert Parker called the Profile the finest wine Merryvale has ever produced. The tasting room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (with the last tasting being served at 6 p.m.). They offer a variety of special wine tastings and pairings practically every day. Each Saturday at 11:30 a.m. the Wine Component Tasting Seminar takes place. Guests enjoy a tour of the historic winery followed by a tasting of five different varietal wines. Monday through Friday, also at 11:30 a.m. enjoy the Artisanal Cheese and Wine Pairing that showcases local cheeses paired with a

selection of Merryvales awardwinning wines. The Historic Tour & Barrel Tasting takes place every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 1:30 p.m. This walking tour takes guests on a behind-the-scenes look at the historic winery along with the opportunity to taste great wines and experience a barrel tasting. Merryvale also features a Library Portfolio Tasting every day but is by appointment only. This tasting experience offers the guests the opportunity to relax in one of Merryvales private tasting areas while a wine educator presents a selection of both vintage and current release wines. Designed for collectors and aficionados, the experience as well as the ambiance is not to be missed. Reservations are required for the special tastings. Private and group tours are available seven days a week by calling (707) 963-7777 or by emailing tastingroom@merryvale.com. Year after year, Merryvale continues to amass incredible ratings, awards and accolades for their wines. And, being committed to protecting and preserving the environment through conservation, renewable energy and sustainable farming practices at their three estate vineyards, they have also received Napa Green Land, Napa Green Winery and Bay Area Green Business certifications. Rich in Napa Valley history and on the cutting edge of the new way to plant, grow and harvest some of the finest grapes in the valley, Merryvale practices environmentally sound farming, social responsibility and economic viability.

Affairs of the Vine Wine Shootouts ... Distinctly Different Wine Competitions
11th Annual pinot Noir Shootout & 7th Cabernet Shootout are under Way
Distinctly different wine competitions, Affairs of the Vine Wine Shootouts are comprehensive and focused tastings of varietal wines. The Pinot Noir Shootout, celebrating its 11th year, focuses on Pinot Noir, Blanc de Noirs and other Pinot Noir-based sparkling wines. The Cabernet Shootout is concentrating on Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Blends for the 7th time. The Pinot Noir and Cabernet Shootout boast incredibly diverse tasting panels comprised of more than 70 wine industry professionals from varying disciplines. The wines submitted to the competitions are tasted over a threemonth period. Just 32 wines are tasted per day in the prelims and finals, allowing the judges to be completely immersed, focused and fair to the wines. Palate fatigue is not a factor in the tastings. Wines are tasted completely blind without reference to appellation, vintage or price. Each wine is judged and reviewed on its own merit. All wines are tasted by at least two tasting panels before the finals. The educational and engaging, consumer-oriented, follow-up events, The Pinot Noir Summit (March 2, 2013), The Cabernet Shootout Challenge (January 26, 2013) and Romancing the Rhones (July 13, 2013) allow consumers to taste the top wines and pit their palates against the professional judging panel. The attendees are involved in the process of judging the wines from their perspective: a most memorable and influential experience. For more information, go to affairsofthevine.com.

STERLING VINEYARDS

1111 Dunaweal Lane, Calistoga Open 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday - Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday 1-800-726-6136 | www.sterlingvineyards.com
The aerial tram ride to the top of Sterling Vineyards just never gets old. In fact, if theres one thing to do every visit to Napa Valley its ride the Sterling tram, because every time it seems brand new. During this, the wintery time of year, youll find nearly bare vines set against a lush green backdrop of evergreens and cover crops. Early in the day the low hanging fog frames the valley and creates the perfect lighting for memorable photos; later most days the fog yields to bright sunlight and enhanced visibility up and down the valley. Theres lots of other newness afoot at the top of the hill, too, where the newly upgraded self-guided winery tour provides visitors an opportunity to set their own pace as they learn about Sterlings vineyard and winery practices. Once you hop off the tram, youll start off at the covered outdoor tasting station on the mezzanine level to enjoy the first few samples of wine and get a quick primer on the self-guided tour. When the winery was built in 1971, winery founder Peter Newton styled the Mediterranean white stucco building after structures on the Greek island of Mykonos, where he had once lived. The winery was designed to be visitorcentered, with public viewing at every critical juncture of wine production. This visitor-friendly design makes Sterling a great place to take a tour, especially one that is self-paced so the curious can linger over the crushpad or beside the barrel room as long as they like. The winery recently added video presentations at each tour stop, with in-depth information about each step of the winemaking process. After the self-guided tour, its on to the visitor center, where the doting and

well-informed Sterling staff will seat you and serve you tableside and maybe even by the roaring fireplace. Upgrade to the VIP tasting and youll have the opportunity to sample some of the wonderful single-vineyard and reserve wines Sterling is best known for, such as the Three Palms Merlot and Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. On clear days, Sterling hosts guests on the upper deck, where youll have a panoramic view and a nearly birds eye view of Three Palms vineyard just to the south and east of the winery. Its not unusual for a winters day in Napa Valley to be in the 60s and sunny, fine weather to enjoy a tasting on the deck. The winery is also proudly showcasing the new 2009 Platinum, the first wine to come out of Sterlings revamped reserve program. At 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a big delicious wine with lovely dark fruit balanced by notes of toasty oak and mocha. Sterling has an incredibly loyal following among sweet wine fans. The perennially favored Malvasia Bianca has become so popular at Sterling that they now have a Malvasia Bianca Wine Club, with members receiving two bottles of this heady elixir monthly. Other sweets on the wine list include the luscious Muscat and the aromatically captivating late harvest Riesling. General admission at Sterling Vineyards is just $25, including aerial tram, self-guided tour and tasting of five wines. Upgrade to the VIP tasting for an additional $10.

Afterward, head over to Robert Hunter Winery for their unique garden tour at their private estate. I am fond of their sparkling and Pinot Noir. Then its off to the VJB Vineyards & Cellars to taste their wonderful Italian varietals and for a little lunch from their Mercado. They are serving delicious grilled paninis and pizzas from their brick oven, and have great picnic tables in the patio of their brand new Villagio. After a short drive across the valley, you will arrive at Repris, Sonomas newest and most exciting winery (open by appointment only). Their friendly crew tours you through their facility and into their enormous 18,000-squarefoot caves for barrel tasting. Then they load you into an ATV and whisk you through the vineyards to the top of the mountain. Youre now looking down at the entire valley with views spanning all the way to San Francisco. What a jaw dropping view! Now for a little pampering, Fairmonts Willow Stream Spa, offers a wide array treatments to sooth your stress away. Start with a soak in the hot spring pools which are filled from a natural spring. Your Provider will come for you for your hot stone massage. Now if you are not completely mush, its time for the Chefs tasting menu with wine pairing in Sant, the resorts signature fine dining restaurant.
WCtW: If you were to visit just one winery, which would you choose and why? LAD: If I could visit only one, I would visit Spring Mountain Winery, because it is so breathtakingly beautiful, and the wines are so incredible. WCtW: What winery do you think has the best over-the-top experience to offer visitors? LAD: I think that Far Niente is rather over-thetop; its place within the history of Napa Valley winemaking is fascinating, the building is gorgeous, the grounds are stunning and to see the antique car collection is really quite special. WCtW: Where do you send guests that want to learn about wine? LAD: If they are newcomers to the world of wine I might send them to Beringer for one of the educational tastings with Dean, who is so fabulous. He makes it all so accessible, easy and enjoyable. If my guests are budding collectors, I might send them to Shafer, where they do a more formal educational tasting. WCtW: Where would you take friends to learn about/taste organic wines? LAD: I think Grgich Hills is an excellent example of organic wines that are absolutely superb. I like their whites as much as their reds. WCtW: Who has your favorite cave tour? LAD: My favorite cave/cellar tour is at Del Dotto winery; but I may be influenced by their Cab Franc. WCtW: What areas and/or wineries would you recommend that are not part of the popular wine country? LAD: I think that the Glen Ellen area is still a bit of a hidden gem, its so rural and peaceful, and beautiful.
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.
Remember: Please sip responsibly! Plan to taste at no more than three wineries based on these recommendations.

Sequoia Grove
BY JOSH STEIN
Mike has seen the rise of Sequoia grove. twice.

Being born in La Jara, Colorado, and growing up on the family ranch led to Colorado College and a pursuit of engineering for Michael Trujillo, and it was his expertise which he lent to family friend Jim Allen in 1982 to help plant the Sequoia Grove vineyard, restore the 150-year-old barn, and build the winery in the Rutherford Bench. Mike never left, learning from Jim and famed Valley consultants Andre Tchelistcheff and Tony Soter, and subsequently attending UC Davis and the Napa Valey School of Cellaring. In 1991, he launched his own successful Karl Lawrence brand, the small production of which sells out annually. Allen subsequently passed the mantle of winemaker to Mike in 1998 before retiring entirely and selling the brand to Kobrand Corporation, a marketing company and partner which then became owner in 2001. Mike was hired as President and Director of Winemaking, overseeing the birth of the winery mark? This involved improving grape quality by buying small estate holdings like the recently acquired Tonella Estate Vineyard, to bring the total to twenty-two acres and reorganizing the wineblending to streamline and refine the wines while also making a number of vineyard-designates to showcase special fruit. Cooperage is matched to individual varietals and all wines are aged a minimum of a year before release. The results have been high scores and consumer appreciation. Indeed, eighty percent of sales are now consumer direct, and there is great excitement for the winerys newest release, the Cambium red blend. Mike says, In my winemaking, I strive for balance. I dont get carried away with the big, high-alcohol wine trend. I strive for richness and balance from start to finish. In order to achieve this, vineyard balance is first. Balance includes everything from the roots of the vines to the fruit itself. This is seen in the range of the winerys offerings, each of which is true to the philosophy that the winemaker allows the site to show through with balance in the wines. As should be clear, Michael Trujillos career encapsulates both Old Napa and New Napa, but his style of winemaking hasnt changed. A focus on the vineyard, on producing great grapes, has led to a renaissance at one of the wineries which established the Rutherford Bench as a special place of excellence. What he produces today are some of the best wines ever to come out of Sequoia Groves section of the Valley, the justly famed Rutherford Bench. Go and taste youll be glad you did. Enjoy!

Get your new year off to a great start with a visit to Grgich Hills, a winery ramping up for Winemaker/Proprietor Miljenko Mike Grgichs 90th birthday celebration by offering his signature Unforgettable Tour and Tasting Experience. Grgich himself designed this tour to help visitors discover the unforgettable story of the winery and legendary winemaker, who in 2008 was inducted into the Vintners Hall of Fame. Tour participants start out in front of the winery in the educational vineyard to learn about the winerys commitment to natural, organic winegrowing and sustainability. With 366 acres of vines spread across five estate vineyards ranging from Calistoga to Yountville and south to Carneros and American Canyon, Grgich Hills has carefully chosen the varietals best-suited for each vineyards terroir. Youll see a selection of these vines in the education vineyard and learn about the winerys organic farming practices. Back in the winery, youll begin your tasting with Chardonnay, the varietal that made Mike Grgich an international wine hero in 1976 when he was winemaker at Chateau Montelena. It was, of course, at the historic Paris Tasting that year that the Chateau Montelena Chardonnay was named best white wine in the world by a panel of eminent French wine judges. With wine sample in hand, the Unforgettable Tour winds its way back into the winerys historic cellar where youll learn about the winemaking process from the crushpad, through fermentation and barrel aging. On Friday afternoons, the tour includes some sampling straight out of the barrel as well. Finally, youll end up back in the tasting room, where you can check out the winerys solar power meter. In 2006, Grgich Hills transitioned to solar power, and now the 13,000-square-feet of rooftop solar panels generate almost 100% of the winerys electrical needs. The current lineup of wines in the tasting room includes the Chardonnay as well as Fum Blanc, Zinfandel, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Often the winery also has some special selections open for tasting, such as the Carneros Chardonnay and the Yountville Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, plus the late-harvest Violetta for the sweet wine aficionado. In addition to the Grgich Hills wines, the tasting room also sells two wines from Grgic Vina, a winery in Croatia that Mike Grgich started in 1996. Take home a bottle of the red Plavac Mali (related to ancestral Zinfandel) and the white Poip for a truly unique gift or collectors item. Set aside about 90 minutes for an Unforgettable Tour, offered by appointment daily at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. daily. To see the full slate of hospitality experiences offered at Grgich Hills, visit www.grgich.com. And...stay tuned for more fun in store at Grgich Hills to help Mike Grgich celebrate his 90th birthday on April 1!

Chef, Winemaker Lineup for the 8th Annual Pigs & Pinot
Event to feature culinary stars, wine experts from across the country
Friday, March 22 and Saturday, March 23, Chef Charlie Palmer will take over wine country with top food and wine talent by his side for the Eighth Annual Pigs and Pinot Weekend sponsored in part by Visa Signature the preferred card for Pigs & Pinot. Held at the award-winning Hotel Healdsburg and its acclaimed restaurant, Dry Creek Kitchen, this charitable celebration has become a coveted event amongst pork and wine enthusiasts eager to experience the creations of more than 60 wineries and 20 chefs who showcase their talents each year. This years participating pork authorities include: Elizabeth Falkner, Chef/Owner Krescendo, Brooklyn Dean Fearing, Chef/Partner Fearings Restaurant, Dallas Jose Garces, Chef/Owner Garces Restaurant Group, Food Network Iron Chef Craig Stoll, Chef/Owner Delfina Restaurant Group, San Francisco To guide us on an illuminating red wine experience, the featured Pinot pros include: Brian Maloney, De Loach Vineyards Caroline Parent, Domaine A.F Gros . Michael Brown, Kosta Browne Lee Martinelli, Martinelli Winery Victor Gallegos, Sea Smoke The weekend wouldnt be complete without a food-loving, celebrity comedian and actor serving as emcee, judge and keep-uson-our-toes participant, Mario Cantone. The 2013 Pigs & Pinot event presents a stimulating line-up of food and wine seminars, tastings and cookoffs, with all net proceeds benefitting Share Our Strengths No Kid Hungry campaign to end childhood hunger in America, as well as local Sonoma County scholarships and charities. As we lead into our eighth year of Pigs & Pinot, I am amazed by the overwhelming support of our professionals, guests and sponsors who eagerly travel from near and far to be a part of this wine and food celebration, says Chef Palmer. The fact that enthusiasm continues to grow for this event while raising significant resources for deserving charities is an accomplishment that we are truly proud of. Due to the wonderful attention and support from pork and Pinot lovers, tickets to this event quickly sell out. Those interested in attending should frequently visit www.PigsandPinot.com for updates and new offerings.

LA CREMA WiNERY
High-Style Tasting Room Opens
La Crema opened the doors of its expanded tasting room, located just steps off the famed Healdsburg Plaza, on Saturday, December 8. Double the size of the original footprint, the interior look and feel was created by acclaimed home goods designer Marc Blackwell, who drew inspiration from the textures and colors of La Crema wines and vineyards. A focal point of the private wine club room is an expansive, 10-foot-long table made from a slab of 300-year-old Bobinga wood its the perfect spot to enjoy one of the new wine and cheese offerings. Whether making wines or enjoying them, we believe a strong sense of place is important, said Elizabeth Grant-Douglas, winemaker, La Crema. Filled with art, light, varied textures and rich color, the new space enhances the tasting experience. Plus, the larger area means we can present expanded tasting menus, new cheese selections and accommodate bigger groups. When I entertain at home, I want my guests to have a fantastic experience and come away with a strong visual impression, said designer Marc Blackwell. I see the new tasting room as La Cremas opportunity to do the same share the stunning textural, visual and natural world of the winery. Seasonal displays will also highlight the work of local artists. Through Spring 2013, visitors can view vibrant abstract paintings from Mandy Bankson of Santa Rosa. La Crema is widely loved for handcrafted Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. For more than 30 years, the family-owned and operated winery has focused exclusively on Californias cool climate coastal appellations, where ocean winds and fog allow grapes to ripen slowly on the vine. Winemaker Elizabeth Grant-Douglas continues to use boutique techniques to produce distinctively balanced and elegant wines. A leader in sustainable vineyard and winery practices, La Crema combines traditional farming methods with new technologies to conserve water, minimize energy use and naturally reduce pests.

LoXtoN CELLARS
Nine for Nine at the Harvest Fair
BY MIKE HYLAND
Open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 11466 Dunbar Rd, Glen Ellen CA 95442 (707) 935-7221 | www.loxtonwines.com
While there are countless wine competitions across the country and around the world, Chris Loxton, owner of Loxton Cellars in Glen Ellen, only enters one. And this year, at the 2012 Sonoma County Harvest Fair competition that took place in October, he entered nine wines and went home with nine medals: three gold, four silver and two bronze. One of the perks of winning at the Sonoma Harvest Fair is that you receive a medal and you get your name in the newspaper, which is nice, but the best part is that the grape growers receive recognition as well, says Chris Loxton. The vineyards where we source the grapes receive a beautiful wooden plaque with a medal, a program that was established by the Sonoma County Grape Commission in conjunction with the Fair. This is a relationship driven business, says Chris Loxton, and we all rise and fall with each others. I work with many growers throughout the Sonoma County, and while all growers believe that their grapes are the best, the recognition certainly proves it. Loxtons gold medals were awarded to his 2009 Rossi Ranch Syrah, the 2010 Pinot Noir (from Russian River Valley) and the 2010 Port made with 100% Syrah. Perhaps his biggest surprise of the competition was when the Loxton 2010 Hawk Hill Vineyard Chardonnay took home a Silver Medal. I was really happy getting a Silver award for the Chardonnay, says Loxton. Tasting competitions generally favor the big, buttery and oaky Chardonnays, which is usually what the judges seem to like. I dont make wines to suit the judges; I make wines that I like, and if it doesnt win, Im not going to change what I am doing. Loxton Cellars started in 1996 producing about 130 cases a year, gradually building up to approximately 3,000 cases annually. A native of Australia, Chris Loxton grew up in a family of grape growers that goes back more than 100 years. His father, grandfather and great grandfather all worked the land, as did Chris, until he left for the States and working at Penn Sate, Arizona State and The University of Illinois. His love of the land and grape growing never left him and his goal was to make wine in the Sonoma Valley. He keeps his hands dirty with the 5 acres of vineyards that surrounds his winery in Glen Ellen, working with the vineyard manager. I mow, irrigate and prune the vines, just enough to keep up with the family tradition but not enough to interfere with the making of the wine, says Chris Loxton.

Wine Tasting in
LIVERMORE VALLEY Wine Country

Fanatics, immensely loyal and enthusiastic members of Fenestras Wine Club. A creek and vineyards edge the shaded picnic area. The ambiance is that of a no-frills, country winery where the owners greet every visitor as a welcome guest, and the guests soon become old friends.
Fenestra Winerys SOUPer Bowl Weekend, January 25-26

Guest chefs will be preparing various types of soup paired with Fenestras award-winning wines during their annual SOUPer Bowl weekend. There will be a fee for this event, that will include logo glass, buffet plate, recipes and unlimited soup samplings. The soup recipes from this year and years past are included on the Food & Fenestra blog found on the website at www.fenestrawinery.com. Fran and Lanny Replogle, owners of Fenestra Winery, celebrate 30 years of awardwinning winemaking in the Livermore Valley. With a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry, owner Lanny Replogles aim is to produce flavorful well-balanced wines with a lot of varietal character. I like the challenge of making each varietal, each year, an individual wine. The charming winery site dates back to the 19th century when George True, a German immigrant, constructed the winery building and planted the first vineyards on the property. The tasting room is open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 12 to 5 p.m. At Fenestra, you can taste wines inside the winery surrounded by wine aging in barrels, and in the company of Fenestra
Library tastings Every Weekend

Fenestra has started a regular program of sampling up to three library wines for a nominal fee of $5 ($3 for Fanatics). These wines are available in limited quantities for purchase. They have poured several wines, including 89 Merlot; 92 Cabernet Sauvignon, Livermore Valley; and 96 Zinfandel, Lodi. These tastings are very popular. However, since the quantities of these wines are quite limited, the lineup will change periodically. Fenestra Winery is located at 83 Vallecitos Road (Formerly CA Hwy 84), Livermore, CA 94550.
