INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER


BY LEN NAPOLITANO

Which wines are best for barbecues?


Summer grilling triggers two very different types of wine in my mind: First, there are the crisp, dry or semi-dry, white and ros wines that really satisfy when served very chilled. You may not think of wine as necessarily a thirst quencher, but a refreshing white wine, like Pinot Grigio, and some dry ros wines can be quite refreshing. The other wine style that comes to mind for a barbecue is richly flavored reds like Syrah, Zinfandel and Petite Sirah. The reason is because of barbecue sauce that usually smothers grilled chicken or ribs. I like the combination of the sweet and spicy flavor in the sauce with the full body and rich, dark fruitiness of these wines. Ive long been a big fan of Syrah but I have also grown pretty fond of the Petite Sirah as well. Both wines have an exotic black fruitiness with a spicy edge but the Petite Sirah has an additional boldness to it that can be jarring in a good way. Red Zinfandel also delivers a spicy fruit flavor that lends itself to summer grilling. Just keep in mind that
SEDANS

these full-bodied red wines tend to come with higher alcohol levels than white wines and even many other red wines. Of course, when it comes to wine and food I always state that your personal preference takes precedent over any suggestions I make. If you only drink Merlot, for example, then thats what you should drink with barbecue. But, if youre in the mood to explore, try one of these alternatives. As I have mentioned in the past, Pinot Noir is a good wine to serve when you need to satisfy many different palates even at a barbecue. Its the perfect red wine if you are looking for something safe not too light, not too big. It can handle grilled fish as well as mild red meats served without rich sauces. Another is Beaujolais from France. It is even light enough to go with summer salads (and can even be served slightly chilled) and filled with bright, cherry-like fruit. Great without food, too.

BY JOSH STEIN

Whats in a Name? Sustainable, Organic & Biodynamic Defined


Its a question which bedevils even longtime wine and wine trade insiders: what really is the difference between the terms sustainable, organic and biodynamic? And do the distinctions matter at all? Whats really being asked, in my opinion, is how much is marketing magic and how much is winegrowing truth, how much is it everyone drinking from the same grapeaid, and how much is it a reflection of the realities of commercial wine production? Its a mixture of all of the above, of course! Everyone, perhaps, by now understands what organic means in terms of not using chemicals or ecologically disruptive practices, but in the context of wine, it gets a lot trickier, especially for small wineries, which is why there are way more wines labeled Made with Organic Grapes than straight up organic wines. It is considerably easier to get certification showing that the organic-ness of the grapes, derived through the grower, is preserved through the winemaking than to get a winery or wine certified as wholly organic. It is not impossible, but it is costly and leaves little room for error in the cellar. Among a number of technical issues, there is an absolute limit on sulfite usage, which knocks out most commercial wines because of the larger batch process in which they are produced and the necessity to have preservation of the wines in the cellar, once bottled, and while on store shelves and wine racks. Going this one better, biodynamic, as Nigel Tufnel would have said, puts organic on eleven. Based on the writings of Rudolf Steiner, proponents of this agricultural philosophy argue for integrative methods akin to organic practices but also root those strategies within a system of nature-based energy wherein the goal is to recharge the land ecologically and spiritually; and there is a certification agency, Demeter, whose imprenteur producers must receive in order for the labels to legally proclaim the wines biodynamic. While a number of very high-end producers in the United States and internationally winegrow according to these principles, it is expensive and timeconsuming, which is why it remains as a smaller niche in the larger wine world. Are biodynamic wines better? Taste is in the tongue of the imbiber. So, where, then, does sustainable fit into this discussion? Its the least rigorous but the most honest in terms of the kinds of compromises winegrowers often have to make. While there is a set of proscribed Lodi Rules, and there are other sustainable certifications, too, much is self-assessed and self-reported agriculture. More importantly, the sustainable growers I know will say they are essentially farming organically or biodynamically all the time, but they withhold their vineyards from both the costs of certification or, due to accidental exposure, re-certification and from the potential losses of being hard hit by, for example, a pest they are unable to eradicate except through commercially-necessary, non-organic practices. It is far easier to discuss these options when it is not the potential loss of your crop or vines; sustainable winegrowing forthrightly says commerce and stewardship can go hand in hand through integrative processes like composting and natural fermentations rather than the alternatives: unnecessary chemical use or working against the land in the production process. As you can see, the potential for these terms to be meaningful rests with consumer understanding and willingness to ask questions. Since sustainable, in particular, is a much more wide-open term, it behooves the interested wine lover to ask questions about how the grapes are grown and what terms are or are not used on the producers labels. Youll often find that the absences have little to do with actual winegrowing processes at all and more often than not result from decisions necessary to keep the winery in business. If nothing else, your next conversation with a winemaker should be much more engaging since these are the issues shes really thinking about behind that smile. Enjoy!

BY SUE STRAIGHT, THE WINE WENCH

Enoteca

At Ferrari-Carano Winery, your pleasure meter will go up appreciably just upon entering the front gates five acres of award-winning gardens delight the eye (and nose) as you wind your way up the driveway. Once out of your car, a walkway leads you through the well-manicured, colorful grounds to the visitors center. For good luck, stop and rub the nose of Bordeaux, a 1300 pound bronze sculpture of a wild boar that sits just off the visitors center walkway. The Italianate villa-style visitors center sits atop the gently rolling hills of the Dry Creek Valley and the views are breathtaking. Inside the visitors center, youll find an amazing variety of reasonably priced gift items, including Italian pottery, logo wear, beautiful scarves, wine luggage, wine and food-related books and glittery jewelry. In my humble opinion, this is one of the best winery gift shops in Sonoma County it is the perfect place to find that oneof-a-kind gift! A dark cherry wood bar stretches across the back of the room, beckoning visitors to stop and sip a while. The visitors centers high ceilings echo with the conversations and laughter of guests and Ferrari-Carano Winerys expert hospitality team. Downstairs is Enoteca, a wine-lovers wonderland. Where a spotless barrel room once resided, an inviting wine lounge beckons visitors to indulge in a series of private tastings. For a nominal fee, visitors can relax and enjoy Ferrari-Caranos delicious limited release and reserve wines. Ferrari-Carano Winerys winemaking team is crafting some excellent wines. With Sarah Quider in charge of the white wine program (and Pinot Noir too), Aaron Piotter in charge of the red wine program and Steve Domenichelli carefully nurturing the vineyards, the resulting wines are world class. So, lets talk about the winesI had the pleasure of tasting a couple of wines that this dream-team produced, and I can tell you first-hand that they rocked my world!

Jeff Hill and guests

HiLL WiNe ComPANY


BY MICHELLE J. BAKER

Traveling south on Silverado Trail, the first hint at something new is a small blue sign, followed not too far down the road by a small red and white sign, both politely suggesting that the briskly flowing traffic perhaps stop here and check us out. Youll want to call first, but youll definitely want to stop and check out Hill Wine Company. With a quiet opening not quite a full year ago, Hill is a welcome new addition to the Silverado Trail in St. Helena, both for its great wines and beautiful setting. Proprietor Jeff Hill is an organic farming consultant and vineyard manager with a portfolio of 500 acres of Napa Valley to draw from for his winery. Hills first vintage of wine production was 2008 (a Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon just recently released in the tasting room). The all-star winemaking team at Hill is headed up by Philippe Langner, whose global winemaking experience reaches from Napa Valley to Bordeaux and South Africa. Hills philosophy is built around utilizing sustainable farming and business practices while still providing customers with a great and affordable product. The winery uses only Napa Valley fruit that is grown sustainably or organically, and they use recycled glass, paper labels, boxes, and corks from organically certified forests. Hill Wine Company currently features a couple of different labels in the tasting room. The Black Dog Series, honoring Jeffs beloved black lab, is a lineup of tasty wines (including two gold-medal winners) priced right for everyday drinking, from $18 to $25 per bottle. A percentage of every Black Dog bottle sold is donated to the ASPCA and 1% of their total revenue is donated to environmental causes

through 1% for the Planet. The Jeff Hill label features ultra premium Pinot Noir from Carneros and Cabernet Sauvignon from prime vineyards in Diamond Mountain, Howell Mountain and more. Hill is making great use of their lovely nine-acre parcel, complete with a vibrant rolling lawn, olive-tree shaded picnic grove, lush fruit trees and lovely flower beds all nestled alongside the Napa River. The centerpiece of the estate is a gorgeous custom built craftsmanstyle home, used by the previous owners as their primary home for 12 years and now as the Hill Wine Company visitor center and tasting room. The Hill tasting room indeed feels like home, with a fantastic wrap-around porch set for a relaxing outdoor seated tasting. Inside are two tasting bars plus another seated tasting area. In addition to the Black Dog and Jeff Hill wines, visitors can sample the estate olive oil made from the olives grown on property the Napa Valley estate. And, in keeping with their green philosophy, the tasting room features Patagonia apparel made from organic cottons and bamboo. The Hill Wine Company is located at 1001 Silverado Trail, St. Helena, just one mile south of Pope Street. The winery is both dogfriendly and picnic-friendly, so bring along your pooch and a picnic, grab a bottle of Hill wine and enjoy an afternoon along the Napa River. The tasting room is open by appointment from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. daily. To schedule an appointment, call (707) 963-7000 or book online at www.hillwinecompany.com.

MERITAGE RESORT AT NAPA

er: I prefer to give guests an array of choices that 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 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 Glen Ellen is still a bit of a hidden gem, its so rural and peaceful, and beautiful. WCtW: Whats your favorite overall varietal and where do you like to go to taste it? LAd: May I please have two favorites? I do love the big Bordeaux style Cabernets. For those I like to head to the Northern area of Napa Valley, to St. Helena and Calistoga. I also love the Pinot Noirs of the Sonoma Coast. WCtW: Describe the perfect day in wine country. LAd: The perfect day is designed to be relaxing; not too structured and not too rushed. Included in the day would be a small group educational tasting, a lovely lunch and a visit to at least one winery that is home to interesting and/or quirky art and architecture. In other words, a day for all of the senses.

WCtW: Describe the perfect day in wine country. JA: A perfect day in Sonoma starts with a delicious
breakfast at the Sonoma Golf Club, affiliated with The Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa. Sit back and enjoy their signature lemon cottage cheese pancakes, while overlooking the scenic golf course and sipping your mimosa. 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.

will not only introduce them to wine country, but also to the variety of the ambiance and culture. If they like sparkling wines, Domaine Chandon is beautiful and elegant. Hess and Jessup have wonderful wines and art galleries. Perhaps Mondavi for an amazing educational experience with their Signature Tour and Tasting, Grgich Hills for their wonderful buttery Chardonnay and Raymond for their organic red wines. If they havent had lunch, I suggest V. Sattui for the picnic experience. Possibly onto Beringer, with its variety of wines and beautiful floral-filled grounds. And then onto the Castles of Calistoga. I tell them about the amazing Castello di Amorosa, Chateau Montelena and Sterling. And finally, the great smaller wineries of the Spring Mountain area. I love Charbay, with its mom & pop feel and warm and friendly reception. Its especially charming for the guests to be introduced to their array of fruit infused liquors. Then cross over and come down the Silverado Trail for the Tuscany experience. Frank Family, Rombauer, Mumm Napa and Silver Oak are all good choices for them to pick from. Further down the Trail is Darioush for that Persian flavor and Hagafen, which is one of the few Kosher wineries. The Carneros region is located within 15 minutes from the Meritage Resort. Artesa, Etude and Domaine Carneros are just a few of the choices that I get very positive feedback on. Of course, Napa is all about indulging in wine and food, so the conversation inevitably moves to dining suggestions. Here at the Meritage, we have a shuttle to take our guests to downtown Napa if they choose. Finding the right cuisine experience is as important as finding the right wine experience.

Remember: Please sip responsibly! Plan to taste at no more than three wineries based on these recommendations.

Caymus Vineyards Purchases Vineyard, Winery Site in Solano County


Caymus Vineyards in Rutherford, Napa Valley has recently purchased a 178-acre site and submitted permit plans for a winery, production and warehouse facility along Cordelia Road, south of Fairfield, California. If approved, the build-out would be constructed in phases, with completion slated for 2016 or 2017. Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet wines will remain Napa Valley fruit. But as members of the Wagner family explore new wines and new wine growing regions, a new winery in Solano county will be constructed. The site is located eight minutes from Napa, quite close to the home winery in the Napa Valley and will be home to production-related traffic and located in closer proximity to the four lane highways. Owner Chuck Wagner states, Vineyards positioned strategically within our maritime climate of California are the core of Wagner quality, yet some areas of the winemaking process can be best performed elsewhere. In our own small way, we will be helping protect the iconic Napa Valley by reducing truck traffic caused by bottling and supply deliveries. Vineyard land has been protected as an agricultural preserve since 1968 and it is about time that our two lane highway system has some equal consideration. With 35,000 acres of manicured vineyards Napa Valleys monoculture and life blood is wine. Tourism allows window shopping of this most exceptional valley and there is no wine region on earth more intriguing than the Napa Valley it has become a must see destination in the U.S.A. The Napa Valley should be protected and every little bit helps our limited truck traffic included. In addition, I am excited to discover the wine potential of Napas neighboring county of Solano. Right under our nose exists a relatively untapped maritime region where a winemakers imagination can still run wild. An interesting side note is that Wagners ancestors acquired 70 acres of Napa land in 1858, then bought an additional 150 acres of land in Solano County in 1861. This family began farming in Napa and Solano counties about 150 years ago and today they are proud to showcase a collection of wines that have a reputation for quality and consistency, sourced from the premiere wine growing regions of California. The Wagner Family of Wine has proven they are clear leaders as they are the only winery in the world to have been awarded the title of Wine of the Year by Wine Spectator twice, for their Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon. Their desire to do something truly special and make the finest wines they can, drives them to try new techniques, refine practices, and continue to improve the quality of their wines.

Lobster Luau WineFest Hosted by Judds Hill Winery and Microcrush


In wine country, there are fabulous parties thrown all throughout the year. One of the best parties of the summer is the annual Lobster Luau WineFest hosted by Judds Hill Winery and Microcrush. This seafood-feasting extravaganza features mounds of crustaceans, copious wine, live entertainment and a very special Vintage Aloha-wear boutique, where you can pick up that 50s-era tropical shirt (or dress) youve always wanted. Parties at Judds Hill are famous for their fun, informal atmosphere and the engaging personalities of the Finkelstein family and staff that run the winery. This years Lobster Luau WineFest will be on Saturday, August 3rd, from 5 to 8 p.m. and tickets are $135 per person, or $95 for Judds Hill Wine Club members. A link to purchase tickets can be found on the events page of their website, www.juddshill.com. But dont delay, seating is limited and this event sells out every year! As in years past, Judd Finkelstein of Judds Hill will be hosting a companion event at Oxbow Public Market on the evening prior to the Lobster Luau WineFest. Uke-a-Palooza at Oxbow will feature live music by the Maikai Gents, a Hapa Haole Hawaiian band fronted by Judd on Ukulele and lead vocals. This event is free to attend and in addition to the live entertainment, Oxbow vendors will offer wine specials and Polynesian-themed food items for one night only. Vintage alohawear and handcrafted ukuleles will also be available for purchase. Uke-a-Palooza starts at 5 p.m. on Friday, August 2 and more details can be found on the Judds Hill website. In addition to producing wines in a balanced and food-friendly style under the Judds Hill label, the Finkelstein family also makes wines for other wine enthusiasts in lots as small as a single barrel (24 cases) in their Custom MicroCrush program. But even with all their varied winemaking endeavors, Judd, Holly and Bunnie Finkelstein maintain their commitment to supporting local community services and the performing arts. If you miss the party, you can always make an appointment to come back another time for an intimate seated tasting. Or, you can call to reserve a spot in their Bottle Blending Day Camp where, over the course of about two hours, wine lovers are led through a blending session to create their own unique Napa Valley wine. Once a favorite blend is chosen you will bottle, cork, label and leave with bottles of your own personal cuvee the same day. Its a great way to take your wine tasting experience to the next level and its a fun outing for singles, couples and groups as large as 100. To find out more about the events, tastings, custom crush and bottle blending opportunities at Judds Hill, you can visit www.juddshill.com or give them a call at (707) 255-2332.

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

Bennett Lane Winery in Calistoga was started by Randy and Lisa Lynch and, while it is surrounded by vineyards in Northern California, it has its roots in Europe, where they first discovered their love of fine wine and the relationship between wine and food. When they decided to pursue their passion for wine, they found land where the topography, geography, soil and climate form a unique spot to grow grapes. Vines, particularly Cabernet, thrive here. Today, this small winery has its label on almost three dozen wines scoring 90+ in just seven vintages. For a winery this size that is amazing. Maximus Red Feasting Wine best shows the results of their constant effort to create great wine. Crafted in limited amounts from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, it was an immediate hit. In addition to red Maximus, they also produce a Maximus White Feasting Wine, Reserve Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and a dessert wine. The winery also has a hot air balloon to take guests aloft for a spectacular view of wine country. All part of the special Bennett Lane experience.

Winery of the Year for Many, Many Reasons!
BY JOSH STEIN

Declared Best American Winery of the Year by Wine Enthusiast just six months ago, this industry-wide award recognizes the shift in Raymond Vineyards since becoming a Boisset estate. When the Boisset family bought the property, they did so precisely because of their respect for the people, effort, and time that had been evident 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 consumer-centric 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. Boisset Family Estates is well known around the wine world for this kind of rejuvenation in Burgundy, Beaujolais, the Rhone Valley, and in the south of France, and theyve channeled all thats been learned through multiple decades into the newly re-designed Raymond Vineyards hospitality experiences. 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. As regards the wines and as befits an estate as varied as this one, Boisset has introduced a variety of 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 seasonal, winery-only releases. If youre looking to see how great Napa Cabernet ages, the Library Rooms access to vertical flights 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 Cellar 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 barrelsampling of wines prior to bottlinga very unique way of gaining some winemaker insight. The Rutherford Room shows off the current fifteen Napa Valley sub-appellations, and the Blending Rooms focus is on creating wines greater than the sum of 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: wine and entertainment, complete with music, video games, and the exclusive Raymond Red Room wine. The two-acre Theatre 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 Cabernet Sauvignon lots of each vintage. The District Collection offers Cabernet Sauvignons from different areas in the Valley, including Oakville, Rutherford, and St. Helena. The Small-Lot Collection provides 50 to 500-case bottlings of barrel-fermented Chardonnay, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Zinfandel and Red and White Meritages. The Reserve Selection provides extended aged releases of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc. The Family Classic Cab is blend of Napa, Sonoma, and Lake County grapes, and the Sommelier Selection offers softer Cabs intended for restaurants. The R Collection gives access to affordable, everyday bottlings of Cab, Chardonnay, Merlot, and a Field Blend while the Barrel to Barrel provides a miniature three-liter wine barrel of Cabernet Sauvignon for easy and extended by-the-glass enjoyment. Not to be outdone by all the offerings above, Raymond also presents 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 Raymond, provides five kennel spaces featuring portraits of Frenchie as various historical icons. Overhead is a

Barkarrat chandelier, illuminating the water-dispensing dogs tasting bar. Nearby are an outdoor play area and a small humans tasting bar to sample the Cab, Red Blend, and White Blend currently being produced, each with its own icon-inspired Frenchie label. Still need an excuse to come visit? The truth is, whether you do go on a special day or not, your time with Raymond Vineyards will be most memorable and youll want to keep coming back to see what they will do and produce next. There is so much to taste and experience, youll want to plan your time in the Valley around your visit to the winery. Thats really the source of the awards and accolades theyve received. Enjoy!

Come for Moshin Pictures on the Crush Pad


BY MIKE HYLAND

One of the coolest things to do in wine country in the summertime is to head out to Moshin Vineyards Russian River winery on Westside Road and catch a movie! Going to a winery to watch a movie may sound a little odd at first, but since 2006, the folks at Moshin have been presenting films on the crush pad during the summer months. Saturday, August 10 features the 80s classic, Caddyshack. Admission is $10 per person and includes a bottomless bag of hot popcorn. Wine is available for purchase by the glass or bottle and guests are encouraged to come dressed as one of the films characters, such as Ty Webb, Judge Smails, Lacey Underall or Bill Murrays character Carl Spackler. Coming as one of the characters makes these films even more fun to watch. We showed Singing in the Rain a few years back and we VOTED A WINE & SPIRITS 2012 WINERY OF THE YEAR had people show up with raincoats, boots and umbrellas, says Moshin Vineyards tasting room manager Julia Lander. It was a hoot. We love it when everybody gets into it. Weve gotten great feedback with our film selection as well as for our wines, says Julia Lander. And it is also important to remember to bring a jacket or a Award-winning Pinot Noir Picnic Grove blanket for those cool Russian Food & Wine Pairings River nights. Biodynamic Garden Tours Moshin Vineyards specializes 1791 Olivet Road, in small-lot, hand-crafted wines, Santa Rosa CA 95401 707.526.9111 and being based in the Russian deloachvineyards.com River appellation, they focus

primarily on Pinot Noir. However, they also produce Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and unique dessert wines. It pays to join their wine club since members enjoy their most exclusive lots, making membership a fun and delicious way to experience the artistry and dedication of the Moshin winemaking team headed up by Rick Moshin. Moshin Vineyards is located at 10295 Westside Road in Healdsburg and is open daily from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Additional information is available at www.moshinvineyards.com or by calling the tasting room at (707) 433-5499.

Yoakams latest album, 3 Pears, balances his country core with a fiercely independent embrace of rock, Americana, pop and soul.

Tickets: VIP $115 / GA $75

saturday, August 3: BWB rick Braun, Kirk Whalum & Norman Brown
Individually, they are three titans of contemporary music: Rick Braun, the gifted trumpeter/flugelhornist with the golden voice; GRAMMY Awardwinning tenor saxophonist Kirk Whalum, the Memphis-born artist who mixes Beale Street, gospel, the blues and bop; and Norman Brown, the GRAMMY-winning guitarist who brings a Louisiana lilt to his Wes Montgomery/George Benson influenced six-string soulful strut. They came together eleven years ago as the supergroup known as BWB and their historic album Groovin, made them one of the most sought-after groups at that time. This terrific triad reassembles with the June 18 release of Human Nature on Heads Up International.

sunday, september 1: B.B. King


His reign as King of the Blues has been as long as that of any monarch on earth. Yet B.B. King continues to wear his crown well. At age 87, he is still light on his feet, singing and playing the blues with relentless passion. Time has no apparent effect on B.B., other than to make him more popular, more cherished, more relevant than ever. Dont look for him in some kind of semi-retirement; look for him out on the road, playing for people, popping up in a myriad of T.V. commercials, or laying down tracks for his next album. B.B. King is as alive as the music he plays, and a grateful world cant get enough of him. B.B. continues to tour extensively, averaging over

sunday, August 4: dwight Yoakam


Few entertainers have attained the iconic status of Dwight Yoakam. His name immediately conjures up compelling, provocative images: A pale cowboy hat with the brim pulled low; painted-on blue jeans; intricate, catchy melodies paired with poignant, brilliant lyrics that mesmerize with their indelible imprint. Then theres Yoakam the actor, who seemingly

A Unique Blend of Music, Art & Wine!
BY ABIGAIL P. ZIMMERMAN

Dont miss Moondance Cellars! David and Priscilla Cohen are two cool cats who make delightfully delicious, small lot wines under their artisan labels Moondance Cellars (reds) and Orchard Station Winery (whites). Usually on hand to welcome all guests to their tasting room, David and Priscilla take all pretension out of fine wines. Whats left? A down-to-earth place with a happy vibe, cool hosts and awardwinning wine to sip. Building on more than two decades of passion in their pursuit of wine, the Cohens created this tasting room to share their unquenchable joy in wine especially Cabernet. We want everybody to love wine! says David. And we are not intimidating. Wine should not be intimidating! Moondance Cellars Tasting Room is located in Glen Ellen at the historic Jack London Village the oldest winery building in California. In keeping with the flavor of the 1860s building, the Cohens renovated using only salvaged materials. Hand-hewn beams and discarded lumber, old window frames and warehouse doors add charm. Great jazz is always on the radio. This laid-back, dog-friendly space both welcomes visitors and draws your attention first and foremost to the wines. Moondance Cellars showcases Davids long love affair and work history producing wine that truly reflects the fruit specializing in making wine from only the very best grapes. Years ago as ranch manager for B.R. Cohn Winery, and under the tutelage of Helen Turley and the late John Speed of St. Francis Winery, David learned the art of winemaking and portraying the true, pure characters in each varietal. For a $10 tasting fee, guests will taste six wines. Current tastings include: 2012 Orchard Station Chardonnay ($25): true to the grape. Zesty citrus, melon and brightly crisp acidity. 2011 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon ($48): A cornucopia of anise, black cherries and deep earthly spice. Two great facets to the Moondance Cellars Tasting Room: 1. Their superb selection of gourmet oils, spices, sauces and mustards. Made solely for Moondance Cellars, the grapeseed oils and mustards are only available for purchase at the tasting room. 2. Wine Country Chocolates is right next door. Pick up their Zinfandel truffle and savor it with any of Davids Cabs!

14301 Arnold Dr, Glen Ellen, CA 95442 (707) 938-7550 | www.moondancecellars.com

Moondance Cellars tasting room is open Thursday through Monday, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is wheelchair accessible and of course, dog friendly!

Enoteca

The town of Sonoma offers visitors highly acclaimed wines, culinary adventures and insights into the rich cultural heritage that has led Sonoma to being one of the worlds premier wine producing regions. Located in the center of town, the Sonoma Plaza is a National Historic Landmark and boasts shaded picnic areas, duck ponds and childrens play areas. Preserved old adobe storefronts grace the perimeter with plenty of shopping or dining and this is where you will find the Sonoma-Enoteca Tasting Room. Sonoma-Enoteca is a truly unique wine country experience. Ten different California wineries within a 100-mile radius have collectively joined together to sell their limited-production wines. These ten different producers give guests a chance to taste many different wines of the same varietal by different winemakers and located in different AVAs. And, since the wine tastings here can accommodate every style, it is the ideal tasting room to visit when you are visiting the Historic Sonoma Plaza. At their spacious Mediterranean style tasting room, youll savor some of the best wine from Sonoma and Mendocinos boutique vineyards that can only be found here. On most days, you will find one of the local winemakers on hand pouring at the tasting bar, giving insight on their wines and the differences between varietals. They are also so knowledgeable about the area and will be more than happy to recommend other excursions during your stay. Wine flights include six tastes and since there are over 20 different wines, you can really choose to taste several single varietals or have fun and select a red or white wine tasting. The wines here are so distinct and offer guests a great opportunity to taste some of the lesser known producers around. So, if you are like me and are taking Ray Isles advice on how to restock your wine fridge, then this is one tasting room that shouldnt be missed when you are in Sonoma. In addition to tasting at the wine bar you can enjoy the most eclectic collection of wine accessories in town. Shop for art, glass wear, wine books, California olive oils and gorgeous furnishings that reflect the best in wine country living. Local chocolate truffles can be purchased and all olive oils, mustards and vinegars can be sampled as you peruse the shop. The Sonoma-Enoteca Tasting Room is open Wednesday through Monday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Their historic tasting room is the perfect getaway while visiting the Sonoma Plaza. Taste and experience these premium wines in one place.

Ledson Winery & Vineyards Wins Big


Winery takes Home Platinum and two gold medals at the 10th Annual Critics Challenge international Wine Competition
Sonoma Valleys Ledson Winery & Vineyards recently took home a platinum and two gold medals at the 10th Annual Critics Challenge International Wine Competition. The 2011 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir ($60) was awarded platinum, while the 2009 Sonoma County Cpage ($86) and the 2010 Dry Creek Valley Malbec ($46) each received gold medals. For a full list of winners from the acclaimed 2013 Critics Challenge International Wine Competition in San Diego, visit www.criticschallenge.com. This is awesome, exclaimed winemaker Steve Ledson. This event is one that allows winemakers to hear from critics on their wines in a broad setting. To win these awards is quite gratifying. The 2011 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is a seductive wine and brings pleasure to anyone who enjoys the versatility of Pinot Noir. Bright, aromatic black cherry and nuances of strawberry will tempt any Pinot enthusiast. The alluring body invites soft spice, bright fruit and vanilla to heighten its velvety texture. And, like all good romance, the end of this provocative Pinot is silky, long, soft and lasting. This wine pairs perfectly with a creamy Camembert and spiced chutney or with roasted duck served with earthy potatoes. The 2009 Sonoma County Cpage has rich aromas of ripe cherries and scrumptious chocolate with a palate of blackberries, plum, crushed blueberries and cedar. The wine has a big, rich and bold exceptionally long finish. This is a magnificent Bordeaux blend with all five varietals represented. Pair this wine with prime beef or THIS IS SONOMA grilled meats and rich stew. CAB COUNTRY. The 2010 Dry Creek Valley Malbec has aromas of bright fruit, chocolate and coffee with a palate of velvety dark fruit, blackberry and dark chocolate. It also has a TASTING LOUNGE finish of back licorice and coffee. The color of this Malbec is open daily outstanding; dark and intense, appointments recommended this is not one to be missed. 9077 Highway 12 The winery is located at 7335 in Kenwood Sonoma Highway in Kenwood 707.282.9169 and is open daily from 10 a.m. to bwisevineyards.com 5 p.m. For more information, call Mention this ad to receive an the winery at (707) 833-2330 or enhanced tasting experience. visit the website www.ledson.com.
