INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER

BY LEN NAPOLITANO
Is white wine with fish, red wine with meat still the rule when pairing food with wine?
For some people, the task of pairing wine with food becomes a study in the seemingly unlimited complexities of wine and food anatomy. However, the simple rule of pairing white wines with fish and red wines with meat serves as a good starting point for anyone who enjoys wine with their meals. Of course, you can feel free to break this golden rule and still create a great food-and-wine experience. Two of my favorite exceptions to this rule are salmon with Pinot Noir, and pork with lightly-oaked or unoaked Chardonnay. When choosing a wine that matches well with food, rule number one is that your own personal wine preference overrides all other rules. So, if you absolutely love merlot, even with the most delicate fish dish, then go ahead and drink it regardless of what you are eating. If, however, you want to experience a marriage between food and wine that in some cases can be described as heavenly, it may be worthwhile to consider this golden rule of wine and food pairing and some simple steps that can bring you closer to a wine-pairing nirvana. After first deciding on whether to have a red or white wine, the next decision point comes: matching a full bodied wine with a robust dish or a light wine with a delicate dish. Finally, if you really want to get into the nitty-gritty of wine and food pairing, you can then match the flavors in a wine with the dominant flavors in the dish (or sauce) because there is either a shared component in them or there is a complementary contrast between them. In some cases, the structure of a wine its crisp acidity, for example, or its dry, tannic backbone-are features to also consider in the decision. There are some food and wine pairings that are considered classic marriages. These include steak with Cabernet Sauvignon, lamb with Merlot, scallops with Chardonnay, caviar with sparkling wine, or sweet Port-style dessert wine with salty Stilton cheese. Except for the last example, these pairings follow the rule of red wine with meat, white wine with fish. But they all match the robustness of the wine with the food. They also are built upon the marriage of either similar or contrasting flavors that complement each other on the palate and make for a rich wine and culinary experience.

BY JOSH STEIN
Why the Weather Matters This Year AND Next

Wherever you go in wine country, youre bound to see machinery, equipment, even the vineyards themselves, which is oriented towards mitigating weather influences. Unlike row crops, vineyards and orchards cant pick up and makes changes every year, but they can make changes to things around said vineyards. Why is this necessary in the first place? Because weather problems can affect not just this years crop but next years too, and damaging vines through cold or heat can quickly become a far more expensive proposition than the costs of installing solutions to keep the problems at bay. Why? Because vines arent like other annual crops. If you look closely at a vine, you will see both this years and next years buds, which is why weather damage can be such a problem: a grower is forced to contemplate the loss of multiple years income. Inside each bud are really small leaves, and from them come the leaves, canes, shoots and grapes, and each bud has concentric layers, which is why weather damage is along a continuum. Minor damage, generally from frost, may reduce the yield a bit, but its the more severe darkening, akin to frostbite, which is the real issue, guaranteeing a crop loss of at least fifty percent, if not more. Equally, the phloem, the bark on exterior of canes and vine trunks, can also be damaged by cold, causing crop losses, too. The best way to undestand winegrowing options for weather mitigation is to walk through the vineyard throughout the year. Winter cold is actually no issue because the vines are dormant, which is why all fifty states have vineyards. Spring is when weather has the most impact on two years crop because the weather often flipflops quite quickly, and rain at an early point can be helpful to bring temperatures up while later in the season causing crop damage via hail or thunderstorms winds. Shattering of the blooming flowers can disrupt clusters or keep them from being fertilized, yet when faced with a frost event earlier in the year, rain is welcomed as it brings the temperature up above freezing. Summer and fall heat can also be an issue because too-high a temperature can cause vines to shut down, shriveling or even sunburning grapes, and also potentially killing the vine in the process. There are actually lots of options for mitigation, and the best, as you might expect, are set up so as to help solve more than one problem. Believe it or not, something as simple as low trellising versus high has an impact as far as weather goes as low trellises in the wrong locales are more subject to frost damage, and higher trellises can provide shade for adjacent rows. How the trellis is trimmed in winter and early spring prior to budbreak is thus one strategy, and there is projected to be a move back to California Sprawl from the VSP candelabra currently seen all over as the North Coast replants in the next few years for this reason: not only does this provide different vine growth and brix gains, but it also helps as regards frost or hail damage during April and May, when the buds break and the vines flower. Mechanical options abound, too. The winds machines, those twirling engines and fans on poles; the Inverted Sinks or Air Dams, which essentially turn the wind machine to provide a frost sink to pull cold air down and away from vines on hillsides and slopes; vertical sprinklers and micro-sprinklers, which can raise the temperature or allow frozen water to encase and protect the vines; and smudge pots, the gas fired heaters for the end of vineyard rows which work in combination with wind machinesall are ways to work in combination with the land to mitigate the negatives of weather while allowing the terroir, the locational distinctiveness, to still show through in the grapes and finished wines by moving the weather since the vines really cannot. Its not always easy or cheap, but the results are worth it, no? Enjoy!

SOAK IN THE SUMMER AT RODNEY STRONG VINEYARDS

A season of food, wine & music
When spring invites you outdoors and you begin preparing for summertime in Sonoma County, most locals know its time to peek at rodneystrong.com to see whose appearing at the winerys annual concert series, which ends Labor Day weekend. This year, Rodney Strong builds upon its stellar reputation of legendary musicians with first-timers Dwight Yoakam and B.B. King along with season opener Michael McDonald and other top names in contemporary jazz. These days at the winery offer a wonderful late afternoon of sunshine, music, wine and food; the winery, though, encourages you to bring a sweater due to the famous Russian River Valley breeze that cools the evenings and nights. If youve visited the winery in recent months, youre aware that this stalwart Sonoma County winery is mixing up their wine offerings locally. Sure, you can rely on their Sonoma County Chardonnay and Cabernet every day and find them in nearly every store that sells wine. Its almost as though theyve provided a staple for your wine rack. Did you know, though, that Rodney Strong makes a fantastically delicious Syrah from Dry Creek Valley? How about their Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir? Malbec anyone? Rodney Strong has a dedicated wine club that receives these special wines throughout the year with an upside for locals (or visiting guests); specially made wines that are available for tasting and purchase in their tasting room. There are also three highly acclaimed Alexander Valley single vineyard Cabernets to taste and their tasting room has been recently named as the best in Sonoma County according to a Northbay biz readers pole.

The winery is also hosting a number of events for its club members as well as locals. Count the recent trip to a San Francisco Giants game as the type of fun you can expect along with the Zin and Pizza party on their patio and you get an idea of what Rodney Strong has to offer this summer. And, if youre looking for summertime later this year, say around November, youre in luck. Theyll be part of a cruise to the Caribbean that features great musicians, themselves and other Sonoma County wineries and wine country chef, John Ash. We all enjoy and appreciate what Rodney Strong brought to Sonoma County more than 50 years ago, when he unlaced is dancing shoes and started his namesake winery. These days, the team that carries the torch is making sure youre just as entertained and that your thirst for great wine is just as quenched.

Call (707) 254-8673 ext. 119 the round-up Cheese Plate A variety of artisanal cheeses offer a flavorful selection to complement our flight of premium, handcrafted wines, $25. Mini Cheese Plate A bite-size version of the Reata Round-Up Plate, $10.
If you like Northern California trivia, here are two questions: What was the name of the ranch in the movie Giant? And, what does the name reata have to do with ranching? The answers: the name of the movie ranch was Reata; in Spanish the name translates as lariat. As you sample the wines at the South Napa Valley winery with that name, it should not be a surprise to discover that this property has been used to farm and raise cattle for almost two hundred years. Formerly part of General Mariano Vallejos historic Rancho Suscol, it is, to this day, a 300-acre working ranch, where cattle still roam the hills and sheep graze on the cover crops between terraced vines. The organic honey that the 60,000 resident bees produce in the hives on-site is available in the tasting room, along with their award-winning wines. Like the wines themselves, the building that houses the tasting room, state-of-the-art winery and special event space is handcrafted of stone and different varieties of woods, from the tasting bar to the exterior walls and interior beams. There is seating around a cozy fireplace, an observation gallery overlooking the barrel room and production area, and a spectacular wrap-around veranda that affords sweeping views of the Napa Valley and San Pablo Bay, where days are warm, nights cool and an ocean breeze whisks away the morning fog. Conditions that are optimal for growing the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir Reata is famous for. The wines here artfully combine the different elements of the winemakers craft to capture the true California expression of each of the award-winning varietals. We also believe that if its worth doing, its worth doing right, with pride and craftsmanship that stands the test of time. Those wines include small lots of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Viognier, Petite Sirah and Syrah. To try the wines, step up to the bar. At the tasting bar there are a number of tasting options, served by an enthusiastic staff. Beginning June 1, Reata introduces a new food and wine experience showcasing sophisticated comfort food. The winery chef uses produce from their own organic, edible gardens along with seasonal local ingredients in unique, rustic, yet refined, menus. For the true wine lover, there are Barrel Tour and Tastings, a memorable experience for up to a dozen guests. You and your friends will have the opportunity to sample, among other wines, two that are currently being crafted, all while learning about how the wines are made. The winemaking philosophy at Reata is simple: make great tasting wines that remain true to their varietal character. To achieve that goal, Reata provides its winemakers with the freedom and resources they need to make each bottle of wine the best it can possibly be.

Three Centuries and Counting of Celebrated Napa Valley Winemaking

The Old Winery Tasting Room Select three wines $20, (no reservations required) Reserve Tasting Bar in the Rhine House Mansion Reserve and limited production wines for $25. Introduction to Beringer Tour $25 per person, RSVP: (707) 963-8989 11 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m., 2 p.m., 3 p.m., 3:30 p.m., 4 p.m. Taste of Beringer Tour $40 per person at 10:30 a.m., 1 p.m., 3:30 p.m. Tours are by appointment, call 866-708-9463.
Everything at Beringer Vineyards, just north of St. Helena, has been designed to pull you in and offer relaxed enjoyment of a wide range of wines. Its just that theyve been doing it continuously longer than anyone else in the Valley since 1876, in fact. Yes, three centuries worth of winegrowing have yielded some impressive results. No winery or vineyard more thoroughly embodies the timeless appeal and seductive flavor of Napa Valley than Beringer Vineyards, today guided by Winemaster Emeritus Ed Sbragia and Winemaker Laurie Hook, who craft Napa Valley wines that speak eloquently of the rich heritage of the Beringer Vineyard while offering cutting-edge quality and contemporary elegance, displaying a single-minded dedication and pursuit of excellence instilled by founder Jacob Beringer. The design of the grove of trees and the landscaping which greets you as you pull in silence the road noise of Highway 29, taking you back in time to the nineteenth century. Founded by German brothers Jacob and Frederick, the gravity-flow and then-steam-powered winery is supported by thousands of feet of hand-dug caves in the hillside, which still provide a stable 58 degrees year-round. Declared a Historic District on the National Register of Historical Places more than a decade ago, the property also features what remains of a 200-year-old Leaning Oak, a designated US Constitution Bicentennial Tree. The winery offers two different, highly popular tours, so reservations by phone or online are highly recommended, even if same-day. Offered eight times a day, the thirty-minute Introduction to Beringer Tour guides visitors through the Old Stone

Winery and wine-aging tunnels, highlighting Beringers long history and commitment to quality, tasting two wines during the tour. The thrice-daily, hourlong Taste of Beringer Tour explores the Old Stone Winery and wine-aging tunnels and visits the demonstration vineyard before proceeding to the Rhine House Mansion for a sitdown tasting of three wines paired with small food bites. Equal to the atmosphere are the wines; the various tasting options and the cornicopia of bottlings make Beringer Vineyards the amazing experience it is. The sheer number of wines made is staggering, and there are literally too many to count. Among the highlights are the annually released Private Reserve Cabernet and Chardonnay wines, which were first made in 1977; and the Modern Heritage bottlings of Chenin Blanc, Riesling, and Ros, among others. The Knights Valley wines show off the impact of volcanic soils on several Cabernets, a Meritage red blend, Sauvignon Blanc, and a white blend while the Napa Valley releases highlight at least a dozen different vineyard-designated Cabs, as well as Sauvignon Blanc. Your options for enjoying the wines are equally as allencompassing. The Old Winery Tasting Room offers the opportunity to sample the more popular releases while the 1883 Rhine House Mansion provides tastings of the reserve and limitedrelease bottlings. For those looking for something special, the Private Tasting, by appointment only, will take you deep into the library, and the Private Club Tasting, personally led by the Wine Club Concierge, goes even further. Large groups of ten or more can be accommodated, too, with special individualized tastings arranged in advance. Events abound, too, and weekends through October bring Music on the Promenade each afternoon, with live music from Steel Jam, The Blues Box Bayou Band, Jazz Mirage or the acoustic Sweet Burgundy; the website has a full schedule of who is playing when. Grab a sandwich, pour some wine and enjoy the afternoon at one of Napas oldest wineries. Memorial Day Weekend Passport offers a progressive walk-around tasting highlighting the wine portfolio matched with an inspired summer pairing by Beringers Chef Maurine Sargent at each of the four tasting stations. Live music and bocce are also part of the fun. Lastly, mark your calendar now for Saturday, September 21sts 2010 Private Reserve Cab release celebration, when Winemaker Laurie Hook and Associate Winemaker Chris Louton will share the first taste of the anticipated 2010 release of the flagship wine. Its that combination of lots of wines and lots of ways to enjoy them which really makes Beringer stand out above the crowd and which shows why theyve been leading the way for as long as folks have been coming to Napa for the best wines in the country. Check out for yourself what others have known since the nineteenth century Beringer Vineyards is the best of the best. Enjoy!

Surrounded by Cabernet vines, on a knoll at the base of Spring Mountain overlooking the upper-Valley, sits the 1878 Victorian mansion which houses St. Clement Vineyards. Originally built by Fritz Rosenbaum, the man responsible for furnishing the homes of San Franciscos Guilded Age, the property went through a number of winemaking owners before it was purchased and renamed in 1976 when local opthalmologist William Casey bought it and built the stone winery behind. The name pays tribute to Caseys ancestors who helped found the state of Maryland, the cross in the St. Clement logo coming from that states flag. Its hard to find a more magnificent example of the Old Napa idea of a grand winery, and the experience lives up to that image. The exterior is surrounded by gardens with picnic areas and shaded awnings, allowing for spots to stop and savor: the porch and Hilltop Terrace all harken back to a more timeless sense of the Valley. Stepping into the house is stepping back in time, to an age of quiet kindnesses and elegance. A grand staircase greets visitors upon entry, dividing the bottom of the house into the two tasting rooms, and a small childrens playroom resides under the stairs themselves. One gains a sense of the Valleys history simply by looking around. Equal to the surroundings, its the focus on vineyard location and matching site to varietal which has given St. Clement the edge over others in the Valley. Long-term relationships have been key in developing special vineyards from which to source the best grapes as no single property can do it all. Carneross Abbott Vineyard is perfect for Chardonnay and Merlot because of its fog and breezes. South Napas Bacigalupi Vineyard offers consistent growth for the Napa Cab bottling. Verhey Vineyard in Atlas Peak provides ultra-concentrated Cabernet grapes while Gamble Ranch Vineyard between Yountville and Oakville presents amazing Sauvignon Blanc. Rutherfords Star Vineyard supplies the backbone for the Oroppas Cabernet with St. Helenas Bale Lane Vineyard providing aromatic Sauvignon Blanc and Tournahu Vineyards two different Cabs because of different soil types. The hills are equally showcased, with Howell Mountains Steinhauer Ranch

giving Cabernet and Mount Veeders Progeny providing Cabernet and Syrah. As should be clear from above, there are lots of wines to enjoy, ranging from Napa Valley whites and reds to a half-dozen singlevineyard bottlings of Cab, and at last count, at least eight of the wines can be found only at the winery. The pedigree of each varietal is showcased while not losing the sense of place for the grapes. The Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc show careful, detailed winemaking, and the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are some of the best, especially at these pricepoints, in the Valley. The single-vineyard Cabs really show off Napas locations, with distinct differences in wines from the different areas of the Valley. Additionally, the winerys flagship release, the Oroppas Cabernet, named for then-owners Sapporo, has been
showing off the finest of each vintage within St. Clements combintorial wineblending for more than two decades. Tasting and touring options accommodate both walk-ins and appointments, and for groups or those looking to personalize the experience, the winery requires you to make reservations so that theyre able to make the visit memorable and special. The Hilltop Terrace is the place with amazing views to pair with the wines, and the time looking around the house gives real insight into Napas past. There are two different clubs, with a reds-only option, too, so you can have access to both the wines and these kinds of experiences all year round. As you can see, theres a lot going on up just past St. Helena. Do yourself a favor: drop on by or pick up your phone and give the kind folks at St. Clement a call right now youll be glad you did. Enjoy!

Wine Tasting in
LIVERMORE VALLEY Wine Country
Garr Wines A Glass from the Past to Toast the Future
SUBMITTED BY GINA MOLINARO-CARDERA
Historians can trace the viticulture activity in the Livermore Valley back to 1832. We can trace our family winemaking back to the early 19th century as well to a small village outside of Genoa, Italy. A family photo hangs in our Tasting Room of Nonna Rosa Garr with a glass of wine in her hand and her son-in-law, Gino Molinaro, holding the jug of family wine. The picture was taken in Glen Ellen at our familys summer cabin in the early 1930s. My dad, (Bob Molinaro, Garr Winery owner) tells the story of
his dad and uncles getting together every year to make their wine for the family. The truck would bring red grapes from Napa to San Francisco, where the families lived. The grapes would be crushed and fermented and the wine would be made. My uncles learned from their uncles who brought their knowledge and experience from the Old Country to the New World. Our heritage and family traditions are the backbone of Garr, welcoming everyone who visits as family to enjoy the experience of Old Italy. Stop by for a visit, youll be glad you did. Share in our toast of a glass from the past, a toast to the future.

Mira Pinot Noir Named Wine Enthusiast Editors Choice With 94 Points
the First u.s. Winery to experiment with ocean Aging receives ratings
Mira Winery, a Napa Valley winery that distributes through high end restaurants and directly to consumers through www.miranapa.com, recently announced that the 2009 Stanly Ranch Pinot Noir was named Wine Enthusiasts Editors Choice with a 94point rating and the 2010 Syrah was given a 92-point rating. The May issue of Wine Enthusiast noted, The flavors are enormously complex, ranging from fresh raspberry jam and cranberries to red currants and persimmons. Earthy cola, mushroom and forest floor notes add complexity. The acid-tannin balance is just about perfect. Good as it is, this compelling Pinot should develop well over the next six years. Pinot Noir is my favorite variety to work with, said Gustavo Gonzalez, Mira Winery winemaker. It presents quite a challenge both in the vineyard as well as the winery but the result in the bottle is like nothing else. I'm thrilled my Mira Pinot Noir has received recognition from an authority such as Wine Enthusiast. Mira received national attention in February as the first winery in the United States to experiment with ocean aging. The winery submerged four cases of 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon, in specially designed cages, into the Charleston Harbor for three months. The cages will be pulled at the end of May.

For the sixth year, the Tempranillo Advocates, Producers and Amigos Society is hosting the most extensive annual tasting of domestically-produced Tempranillos, Albarios, Garnachas, Verdelhos and many more, from the wine regions of the western United States.

Many TAPAS members are limitedproduction, family-owned wineries and will be pouring small lot wines that are not widely available. Wine will be available for sale at this event.

RASgalleries
BY CHARLES NEAVE
For many people a visit to Yountville in the Napa Valley would not be the same without a stop at RASgalleries. The art glass gallery founded and operated by Ronda Schaer is now celebrating its 23rd anniversary and is a must see for art lovers. With an unwavering focus on American Art Glass it showcases the work of some of the most renowned artists from the Bay Area and throughout California, plus the Pacific Northwest and the East Coast, among other locales. Masterful glass techniques such as mouth blown, lampworking, cast, cold worked and fused glass are always on display at the gallery, in forms such as vases, bowls and sculpture. Specialty pieces like perfume bottles (they have the largest collection of hand-blown perfume bottles in Northern California), stemware and paperweights are also available. A carefully chosen number of ceramic artists have been selected to accompany the glasswork and most recently original fine art paintings are being displayed. In all, it makes for a unique and memorable destination. Like everything involving RASgalleries, they are of the highest quality and reflect the fine eye of the owner and the amazing talents of the artists she represents. The gallery also has a rotating display of one-of-a-kind sculptures and regularly sponsors single-artist shows and receptions that draw devotees of the medium from around the nation. Details and
updates can be found on the gallerys website. I created RASgalleries with a singular focus on original American art, primarily Art Glass my personal passion and Im proud that after 23 years in the same Napa Valley location, the passion remains!

The year was 1969. Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the moon; the New York Mets were on their way to their first National League pennant; Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was topping the years box office sales. And an intrepid young Midwesterner, yearning to answer the call of his ancestors, was scouring Napa Valley for the perfect piece of land on which to plant the family flag. Now, on the eve of Jay Corleys 82nd birthday, he looks back at his 40+ years in the Napa Valley and looks forward to the next generations taking the reins of the Corley Familys Monticello Vineyards.
A dream takes root

In 1969, the Stanford-educated Corley was running a successful publicly traded company in Los Angeles, but wanted to trade his three-piece suit for overalls. After all, farming was in his blood. Every generation of my family for 400 years has been farmers. As a boy, I loved spending time on my grandfathers farm in southern Illinois. I just always wanted to get back to farming. At the time, Corleys friend, a wine shop owner in Los Angeles, was developing a piece of property in Yountville. He invited Corley to come for a visit, and Corley was hooked. I would come up nearly every weekend for nine months to see what was going on here. I would just roam around, get to know people, ask questions. There werent many people around, but the ones who were, as Corley lists the names of contemporary Napa Valley pioneers and icons, were very helpful. A self-described Burgundy guy with a taste for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Corley was looking for a place where those varieties would thrive. He found it in an 80-acre prune orchard at the southern end of Napa Valley. He liked the propertys proximity to the cooling breezes of the San Pablo Bay and the fact that it sat next to the Napa River. I didnt think of being on Highway 29 to capture visitors; I wanted to be on the river because I knew access to water would be essential.

Once the property was cleaned up, Corley didnt cut corners planting the vineyard. We used all of the new technology coming out of Davis. We tested the soil everywhere, and we drilled holes in the ground to see how the water was flowing. Then we planted the vines closer together than most people were doing in those days to stress them.
the Next generation

Things went well enough those first years to make Corley think, We can do this. Soon the successful winegrower wanted to build a winery. As a graduate student years earlier, Corley had written a thesis on starting up a winery. He opened his desk drawer, dusted off the old thesis, and got started. All seven of Corleys children helped out at the winery during their high school years. But Corley encouraged them to go off, experience the world outside of the winery where they had grown up, and then come back if they wanted. Kevin Corley, now Winegrower and President, became a successful banker in Los Angeles. Stephen Corley, now the winerys Director of Sales and Marketing, was a CPA who worked at the accounting firm KPMG before he came back to the winery in 1997. Chris Corley, the youngest of the three, has worked at the winery the longest. Initially aiming to be a marine biologist, Chris eventually decided he would rather drown in wine than sea water. He worked in the cellar under other winemakers for 13 years before he earned enough stripes to become Head Winemaker in 2002. Now the three brothers form a harmonious management team. Three of them is better than one of me, says the senior Corley.

the Jefferson Connection

Jay Corley was a great admirer of Thomas Jefferson, who was not only a founding father but also Americas first great connoisseur. He honored the third President by naming the winery Monticello Vineyards - after Jeffersons mountaintop home in Charlottesville, Virginia. In 1984, the Corleys built the Jefferson House, a very close replica of Monticello, on the Home Ranch that is now used as office space and to entertain guests. The four acres of grounds surrounding the Jefferson House are comprised of the same trees, shrubs and flowers Thomas Jefferson planted at Monticello.

savor the taste, experience the Hospitality

In the quaint, rustic tasting room, the staff pours a little bit of everything the Corleys produce from 80 acres of vines on the Home Ranch in the Oak Knoll District as well as four other estate vineyards in Napa Valley. With 30 vintages under their belts, the Corleys like to show off their library wines in reserve tastings in the Jefferson House. Slip into the comfortable black leather chairs and enjoy a flight of our wines, People come for one or two wines, Stephen Corley says, but they usually leave with it all!

With so much to do and see in the wine country, the research involved in planning your day can be overwhelming. The Heritage Wine Trail, a full-day tour and tasting package, takes the guess work out of your travel plans and offers a memorable excursion from Carneros to Calistoga that is sure to satisfy the senses! For only $99 (a value of over $150), from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., you will experience tours and tastings at four iconic wineries, Acacia Vineyard, Beaulieu Vineyard, Provenance Vineyards and Sterling Vineyards, including an authentic wine country picnic lunch. The tour begins at Acacia Vineyard, where you will walk through their lush vineyard and end with a visit to their tasting room. Winemaker Matthew Glynn will share his winemaking knowledge and Acacias unique 32-year history. You will taste a few of their favorite wines, not commonly found outside the winery, as well as select wines that have been awarded 90+ points. Continue on to Beaulieu Vineyard, to tour the most historic part of their winery, built in 1885. A wine guide will take you through their 100-year-old Redwood Tank Forest to the Heritage Room where you will sample wines from French and American oak barrels and two of their current releases, including the iconic Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, made at BV since 1936. From there, experience the passion of Provenance Vineyards as a
tS n e rr a W
wine club member for the day with exclusive tastings of three current releases followed by a pairing of Merlot chocolate sauce and port. The tour ends with a big finish at Sterling Vineyards as you ascend on an aerial tram overlooking panoramic views of one of the most dramatic wineries in California. You will be greeted with a glass of wine as you follow the winemaking process from grape to glass. You will be guided from the barrel room to one of the terraces, to sit, relax and taste three of their limited-production wines. The Heritage Wine Trail promises a fun filled day from start to finish! The Heritage Wine Trail is offered daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, go go www.HeritageWineTrail.com, call 1-800-919-3693 or email Inquiries@HeritageWineTrail.com.

On July 12, the A Night Like No Other: Celebrating Fume Blanc concert will welcome pop-rock star Huey Lewis. Raised locally in Marin County, Lewis (of the platinum-record-selling group Huey Lewis and The News) brings his American rock style to the winery as part of the Sports 30th Anniversary Tour.

New spring/summer culinary programs at St. Francis include: Seasonal Spring/Summer Wine and Food Pairing Menu Private Estate Dining Estate Vineyard Tour & Tasting

Led by Executive Chef David Bush, one of the very few dedicated winery chefs in the region, the acclaimed five-course Wine and Food Pairing highlights the seasonal bounty of Sonoma County, utilizing fresh ingredients from the winerys two-acre organic garden. Paired with St Francis 100% Sonoma County wines, the pairing is hosted by a St. Francis wine expert, and presented in a relaxed, quintessential wine country setting. The new menu offered five days a week, includes dishes such as: Sichuan-Style Slow Roasted Pork Shoulder with fava beans, fava leaves, charred yams, grilled spring onion, upland cress, and roasting jus paired with a 2010 Three Valleys Zinfandel.
Private estate dining

A more intimate experience for groups of 8-16, guests are now able to reserve the winery for an entire evening and dine on a memorable seven-course prix fixe dinner paired with St. Francis iconic wines. The evening begins with wine on the Syrah Patio overlooking the lush Sonoma Mountains. Dinner follows in the winerys private dining room with sweeping views of estate vineyards.

Cline Cellars winemaker and director of winemaking, Charlie Tsegeletoss interest in wine goes back to his childhood and was inherited from his great-grandfather, Guippe Guidotti, who grew grapes and made wine in the Guerneville area of Sonoma County back in the 1930s. A 1979 graduate of UC Davis, Charlie began his winemaking career as an apprentice at Pendleton Winery when he was 24 years old. In the 1980s he held winemaking positions at Hacienda Wine Cellars, DAgostini Winery and Glen Ellen Winery, where he would remain for some 15 years. He joined Cline Cellars in 2002 and is responsible for winemaking and production for the winerys Cline, Oakley and Jacuzzi Family Vineyards brands. Over the years, we have added more wines to the Cline portfolios, with still more to come, says Charlie. Our core wines at Cline stay the same Zinfandel, Syrah, Mourvedre and Pinot Noir, but we also like to experiment and create some red blends that truly rock the boat. Then there are the Rhne varietals that owner Fred Cline pioneered in the Sonoma Valley years ago Syrah, Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne. Tsegeletos is producing about 25 different wines for both Cline and Jacuzzi, which obviously keeps him and his winemaking team of four members and a cellar staff of another 12 people pretty busy. And then even more staff is added to the mix when harvest and bottling takes place. As for his winemaking philosophy, Charlie often lets the grapes guide his style. He works

closely with the vineyard managers to ensure that varieties are planted in locations that will provide optimal acid and sugar levels and express the true varietal characteristics. Then he hones his winemaking skills to guide the wine toward his chosen style. His red wines are big and dark with lots of fruit concentration and delicate oak nuances, while his white wines are always bright, crisp and fresh. A visit to Cline Cellars historic setting in the Carneros region of Sonoma County reveals Charlies basic varietals, Zinfandel (there are seven of them), Syrah, and Pinot Noir; the various Rhne wines, and as a bonus, there is Nancys Cuvee Sparkling Wine, which is an excellent way to start
a tasting at Cline. An important historical side note, the site of the Cline Cellars winery and tasting room is also the site of the last original Spanish Mission to be established in California. The mission was dedicated on July 4, 1823, and later built at its present location in downtown Sonoma. In addition to his duties at Cline, Oakley and Jacuzzi, Charlie is also a professional wine judge as well as a member of the Board of Directors of the Sonoma Valley Vintners and Growers Association. He is also an avid snow skier and motorcyclist. He resides on an old chicken ranch in the hills of Sonoma with his wife and daughter and assorted animals.

Spring Wine & Food Pairing Menu Announced at Sonoma Valleys Mayo Family Reserve Room
[x\
seven-course food & wine pairing experience highlights springs offering

The Wall Street Journal has (twice) called it the best value in wine country and Open Tables recent list of the top ten Wine Country Diners winners features the Mayo Reserve Tasting Room at number one, ahead of such full service area stalwarts as The French Laundry, Farmhouse Inn & Restaurant, the Restaurant at Meadowwood and Dry Creek Kitchen. So whats the big deal? Just an incredible food pairing of seven gourmet treats coupled with seven delicious wines, and all for the unbelievable price of $35 per person ($25 for club members). Mayo Family Reserve Room Chef Clayton Lewis has announced a new spring menu. The seven-course, sit-down menu celebrates spring with locally produced ingredients now coming into production along with seven Mayo Family Winery wines to demonstrate the various ways food and wine can compliment one another. Pairing our wines with great food is something our family has been doing since we started in 1993 with our first vintage, says Jeff Mayo. The sit-down Reserve Room food and wine pairing is offered Thursday through Monday, 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and cost $35. Reservations are not required, but recommended. The Mayo Family Reserve room is located at 9200 Sonoma Highway in the village of Kenwood in Sonoma Valley. For more information see www.mayofamilywinery.com/reserve-room.

Loxton Cellars Releases Decarda Tawny Port

Chris Loxton is thrilled to release his first tawny Port style wine to wine club members. Each year hes been putting aside a barrel of his Port wine made from Syrah grapes grown here at the winery so that it can age into what is known as a Tawny style. He started the program with the inaugural vintage in 2002 and each year hes topped the barrels with the current vintage wine. That initial barrel from 2002, the bottled version of which won Best Port in Sonoma County at the Harvest Fair, now contains small amounts of each successive vintage. Therefore, it now contains some of the wines that have awarded Best of Port in Show three times and runner-up for Best Port in Show twice! He has waited ten years since this wine was originally put into barrel and it was finally bottled in December 2012. The wine is called Dcarda, which is Portuguese for a decade, to celebrate its ten years in barrel. It is the first of Loxtons Tawny Ports to be bottled with a production just yealding 550 bottles. This wine is currently available to the wine club on a one bottle allocation limit. To celebrate this release theres a short video about the wine. The inspiration came many years ago at one of his fathers Wine and Food Society dinners where he had the privilege of tasting wines presented by the winemaker for the Australian firm Hardys, who presented vintage and tawny style Ports that were originally from the same tank. One had been bottled after 18 months (Vintage) and the other at 20 years (Show Tawny). This is a wine to sip after THIS IS SONOMA dinner, by itself or maybe with CAB COUNTRY. blue cheese, while thinking of what has happened over ten years. Age has lead to some browning and lightening of color (just as a cut apple goes brown, hence the TASTING LOUNGE tawny descriptor), has also given incredible richness to the wine open daily and this leads to a warm and appointments recommended lingering finish. 9077 Highway 12 Loxton Cellars is located at in Kenwood 11466 Dunbar Road in Glen 707.282.9169 Ellen, CA 94552 and is open daily bwisevineyards.com from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more Mention this ad to receive an information, call (707) 935-7221 enhanced tasting experience. or visit www.loxtonwines.com.

Mendocino Makes History with CORO Wine 10th Anniversary Release

Winemakers Create Ten Ultra-Premium Wines Using Only Mendocino County Fruit
Mendocino County in Northern California is noted for its distinctive wines and the independent spirit of its winemakers. True to their pioneering nature, ten diverse vintners from separate regions of Mendocino County have united to create and launch their own collaborative wine collection. CORO means chorus in Italian and Spanish and Coro Mendocino is now releasing the 10th Anniversary Coro Wine. Coro Mendocino is a class of ultra-premium wines made to showcase the rich heritage and unique characteristics of Mendocino County. Made entirely in Mendocino County from County fruit, each Coro wine shares a juried quality standard and a trademarked package. This is a milestone year for Coro, and this 10th anniversary launch could not be done in any other part of the world, said Dennis Patton, Winemaker for Golden Wines. We actually taste each others wines and share constructive advice. That is remarkable in the wine world. We did this to prove that we can and do work together in true collaboration, and that our wines are world-class. According to Scott Schneider, the President and CEO for Visit Mendocino County, Coro is a central part of the County wine and personality story. We are all about unique experiences, wine and people. Coro is a living example of this lifestyle and community. And of course, it is an industry first. Each Coro wine must contain between 40-70% Zinfandel and adhere to strict production protocols set by Consortium Mendocino. The 2010 vintage was made by ten wineries: Brutocao, Claudia Springs, Fetzer, Golden, Mendocino Vineyards, McFadden, McNab Ridge, Parducci, Philo Ridge, and Ray's Station. The Coro Tenth Anniversary Collection will formally launch on Saturday, June 22 at the Little River Inn in Mendocino County. An exclusive VIP Tasting of Library Magnums will happen on Friday, June 21, also at Little River Inn. For more information, visit www.coromendocino.com or call (707) 937-5942. For more information , call 1-866-466-3636 (866-GO-MENDO), or visit www.visitmendocino.com.

Lone Oak Lodge Clean, Affordable, Convenient

BY LAURA NESS
A cozy place to stay in Monterey is the Lone Oak Lodge, on North Fremont Street, just off Highway 1, past the Monterey Fairgrounds. This is your basic old-fashioned style motel that makes car camping easy. You pull up to your room, unload, boom, youre done. All onestory units, with pleasant bathrooms, clean, comfortable and equipped with wireless everywhere. Fresh flowers in each room are a nice touch, and each unit has a fridge and a coffee maker thank goodness! Creature comforts are important, and this quiet, easy-to-find and easy-to-love, family-friendly lodge has decent towels, great water pressure and plenty of space to stash all your stuff. The fireplaces in some rooms are quite cozy. Everything is clean and in working order. The best part about Lone Oak is location, location, location: youre only minutes away from all the sights and sounds of nearby Monterey Peninsula and Pebble Beach, but you dont hear any of it from the rooms, thanks to layout and setback off the highway. There are several restaurants in proximity, including a serviceable Chinese for takeout, and drug store, bottle shop and breakfast spot within walking distance if youve had enough time behind the wheel. You seriously cant beat Lone Oak for value, convenience, comfort and quiet. A good nights sleep is what you need most after an exhausting day touring 17 Mile Drive, playing a round on a championship golf course, gazing at the wonders of the deep at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, playing tourist on Cannery Row and Fishermans Wharf and winetasting and people watching on the storied streets of Carmel. Featuring family suites, single rooms and king suites with in-room spas and fireplaces, an on-site indoor Jacuzzi, dry sauna, exercise equipment, Scuba Diver rise area, plus an outdoor barbecue area make the Lone Oak Lodge an ideal home base when youre in the Monterey area.

Celebrate National Great Outdoors Month in June, National Picnic Month in July
Hyatt Carmel Highlands overlooking Big sur Coast invites You to take a Hike and Let them show You the Beauty!
Hyatt Carmel Highlands Overlooking Big Sur Coast, Carmels quintessential destination retreat, is celebrating National Great Outdoors Month in June and National Picnic month in July with a new hiking and picnic package! Guests will meander beautiful coastal trails experience scenic views, flora, fauna and fun with an experienced Big Sur guide. The chefs have prepared a picnic lunch sure to match the incredible scenery of the Big Sur coastline. The keepsake picnic backpack will forever remind you of this stunning experience. Package prices begin at $600. (Package available beginning June 1, 2013) Hikes are led by Stephan Copeland, a Big Sur hiking expert. For the past 32 years Copeland has been in the business of providing guided hikes and walks, for people of varying capabilities, into the breathtaking Big Sur Wilderness. Let him introduce you to the migrating California Grey Whale, where you can get wet from the spout; listen to the sounds of cascading water flowing down a canyon laced with 7- and 8-hundred-year-old California Coastal Redwoods; explore the most secret of water falls and so much more. One of the guided hikes will take you to the only forest in Big Sur where the only thing between you and the sky are at least 10 thousand Monarch Butterflies. Hyatt Carmel Highlands offers several different hiking excursions:
Meditation Walk
For the guest that is striving to attain that inner peace that only meditation can provide, consider the Meditation Walk, A three-hour experience that starts with a little yoga. Then off to the trail head a 30 minute drive back into the wilderness, with views of the California Coast that only the Red Tail Hawk sees. Upon arrival at the trail head, walkers will embark upon the trail and traverse the Little Sur River for one hour; silently, while trying to attain oneness with the forest. After one hour, break for lunch. At this time conversation is permitted. After lunch, a little more yoga, and then the return to the trail head, once again, silently. The rewards from this experience last eternally.
Bluff trail
This particular walk glides above the ocean about 80 feet from the sea, on a bluff where guests will walk south observing a myriad of both plant and animal life. The smell of the sea coupled with that of California sage and a hint of fennel, are overpowering on this walk that will follow a path to the seashore. A good part of this walk is spent discovering the various coves that are secretly tucked away throughout this beach walk.
Waterfall Walk
This particular trek introduces you to the Big Sur River, the largest river in the area and specifically shows you two great secluded getaways; a perfect place for a picnic with someone you really care about. If the river is cooperating, hikers will cross it and search out some beautiful meadows where one might find a fallen hawk or owl feather. At this point, head east to view a fairly recent waterfall stunning to the eye. For the person who might want a tad more exercise, Hyatt Carmel Highlands offers one hike, rather than walk. This hike combines the best ingredients of all the walks in that it provides the added stimulus of sight from 500 feet of elevation! The beauty of Big Sur from this elevation is unparalleled. For more information regarding Hyatt Carmel Highlands new travel package available beginning June 1, 2013, visit www.hyattcarmelhighlands.com or call (831) 620-1234.
the Walk of the Married redwoods

As one drives to the trail head, it would be impossible not to notice the incredible vistas this journey through the Big Sur hillside offers. The actual 2- to 2.5-hour walk, mostly in flat terrain, traverses one of the lushest canyons within the area, accompanied all the way by the sights and sounds of rushing water. One can truly get a feel for the serene beauty of Big Sur. This walk also features a very special visual surprise provided by Nature herself let them show it to you.
robinson Jeffers Walk

If the contrast between green and blue excites you, this walk is for you. This walk is the best example of Robinson Jeffers famous quote, Big Sur is the greatest meeting of land and sea in the world. Hikers will first make their way up through a lavishly twisting canyon, overlooking terracing waterfalls, while visually experiencing shades of green that one never knew existed, eventually making their way to one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world. This walk clearly offers a much more intimate relationship with the nature of the area. After leaving the canyon, head down to the sea, where the land seems to melt into the ocean; and where the seal, otter and occasional humpback whale might be observed. Never will you see such various shades of blue.
