INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER


BY LEN NAPOLITANO

What is hang time?


You might think hang time refers to how long you stick around a
tasting room bar and sample the entire list of wines.
In the business of grape growing, however, getting more hang
time means waiting longer for grapes to reach maturity and optimal
ripeness; in other words, stretching out the growing season.
Physiological grape maturity is determined simply by tasting grapes
and observing the color of their seeds. Ripeness is determined by
testing grapes for sugar and acid content. If maturity lags behind
ripeness, grapes might need to hang on the vine longer than usual.
But, like the hours spent inside a tasting room, adding hang time is
not without risk.
The balancing act begins in August, when sugar levels from
grape samples start getting regularly measured in degrees on a
scale called Brix, and acidity is measured on the pH scale. Testing
gives growers and winemakers an indication of ripeness and a
rough idea how close they are to harvest. However, as warm
daytime temperatures increase sugar development, acid levels drop.
Waiting days, or weeks, to reach higher sugar levels with potential
for greater flavor and alcohol in the wine also means gradually
losing acidity, a vital component giving wine freshness and lively

Len Napolitano is the author of

fruitiness. A wine with insufficient acidity is doomed to be flat and


dull.
Grapes are typically picked at Brix readings between 22 and 28
degrees, depending on grape variety and desires of the winemaker,
many of whom define hang time as the time grapes remain on the
vine after they reach ripeness of 24 degrees Brix. (By the way, a final
Brix reading multiplied by a standard conversion factor of 0.55
estimates final wine alcohol content. Thus, grapes picked at 24
degrees Brix make wine with around 13.2% alcohol.)
Wine regions with naturally long growing seasons, like
d
u
.
Californias Monterey County, benefit from longer hang time
without much risk. They have consistently warm days with few
heat spikes, and cool afternoons and evenings. Measured by their
early budding and late ripening dates, their entire growing season
may span up to a month longer than most other California
appellations.
Stretching out the growing season allows grapes to develop more
intense flavor, color, and complexity all characteristics of great
wines. These qualities are especially easy to appreciate while
stretching your own hang time in a favorite tasting room.

Why Each Years Weather Affects Two Years Vine Health


Theres one thing you can count on as a farmer: one years
weather will never be like any other. What that means in practice is
that the past only serves as example, not as a roadmap. And
especially in a year like this one, where none of the established past
patterns seem to hold and our fourth year of drought is with us,
how we strategize about the weather and our water use makes the
difference between having grapes to make into wine and having to
take a pass after three bumper harvests in a row. What makes this
doubly fraught is that each years decisions in response to the
weather affect two years crops.
Why? Because vines arent like other annual or row 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; each bud has concentric layers,
which is why weather damage is along a continuum. Lack of
irrigation water doesnt just impact yields during harvest it can
also impact this and next years vines through the inability to
provide enough water for frost protection. 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 the exterior of canes and vine trunks, can also be
damaged by cold, causing crop losses, too.
The best way to understand winegrowing options for weather
mitigation is to walk through the vineyard throughout the year.
Winter cold, even as cold as we got this past year in most of the
United States, 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 crops 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 bloming
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 autumn
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, especially if there is little
to no water left at the end of season.
This is not our first go-around with drought in California wine
country, of course. 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. 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, and impacts overall vine water
needs, making it possible to produce more on less irrigation.
Mechanical options to work around water deficits abound, too.
The wind 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; and smudge pots, the gas fired
heaters for the end of vineyard rows which work in combination
with wind machines all are ways to work in with the shapes of
the land itself 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!

Good to Know Before Heading to the Wineries


BY CHARLES NEAVE

For the most part, going wine tasting is about the easiest thing in
the world, especially here in California where wineries and tasting
rooms abound. You can find wineries specializing in red wines of all
types, those that are famous for their white wines and others who
pour sparkling wine. It is a matter of doing a little research and
planning your day. Most tasting rooms open around 10 a.m. and
close between 4:30 and 6 p.m. Here are some tips that have proven
to be helpful and are designed to help make the sensory adventure of
wine tasting all the more enjoyable.
Before you start off pack a few essentials: Water (plenty of water)
and something to snack on crackers or a baguette. Many wineries
have picnic areas and there are plenty of delis and bakeries that can
make up a lunch for you, or make your own. Which brings us to
eating and drinking, the kind that doesnt directly involve wine.
Be sure to nibble during the day and make sure you make time for
lunch. Two tips: drink at least twice as much water as you do wine,
and remember that you dont have to drink everything poured into
your glass. There is a reason tasting bars have dump buckets and a
pitcher of water to wash out your glass.
Dont be afraid to ask questions. Time and time again I have heard
knowledgeable winery workers say that there is no such thing as a
stupid question, and they mean that.
You can drink what you want, in the order you want. If you only like

reds, say so; if you dont like sweet wines, speak up. But the idea of
starting with whites, then going on to reds and then sweet wines is a
good guide. Zinfandel is red. I am sure you know that but it never
hurts to remind everyone.
If there is a particular wine you want to try and it is not on the list,
ask. There might be a bottle around that was opened for a trade
tasting or by the winemaker. Most tasting rooms are happy to pour a
little if you show enthusiasm.
Take notes on the wines you most enjoyed.
Take advantage of tours when the winery offers them, but keep in
mind that they take anywhere from 20 minutes to well over an hour,
so one a day is plenty.
Buy wines that you can only find at the winery. These often include
smaller (375 ml) bottles of limited production Ports or dessert wines.
Dont buy a wine you can get at a supermarket back home. Youll pay
more, and besides, whats the point?
Look for tasting rooms in towns. Many of these are cooperative
tasting rooms, where in one place you might find wines from a dozen
or more small-to-medium premium producers. They are scattered
throughout the area and more are opening all the time.
Dont give too much thought to ratings and vintages. Its like art: if
you like it, its a good wine. It is as simple as that.
Remember that you dont have to do the driving. It takes no more
than a phone call hire a transportation company to do the driving.

Robert Mondavi Winery Announces Lineup


for 46th Annual Summer Concert Series
the Wallflowers, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness
and phillip phillips complete the concert lineup
Robert Mondavi Winery announced the final acts in its popular summer
concert series lineup: Grammy Award-winning The Wallflowers and singersongwriter and Emmy award nominee Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness will
grace the winery stage on July 4, while singer-guitarist and American Idol winner
Phillip Phillips will perform on July 11.
Returning for its 46th year, the Robert Mondavi Winery Summer Concert Series

the Napa Valley. Tickets are currently on sale for the much anticipated concerts. In
addition to the performers above, wine and music enthusiasts will also have the
opportunity to enjoy such major headliners as Grammy Award-winning artists Lyle
Lovett and Melissa Etheridge as well as New Orleans natives Trombone Shorty and
Orleans Avenue and more.
In addition to great music, the first performance in the Summer Concert Series
opens with a bang on the Fourth of July at the winery, with the return of Robert
Mondavi Winerys spectacular fireworks show and concert. The concerts will
continue through the summer with additional performances on July 11, 18, 25
and August 1. In addition to the musical performances, food will be provided this
year by Off The Grid, Vintage Sweet Shoppe and Ben & Jerrys Ice Cream.

Madrone Vineyards Estate is a true Sonoma icon with a rich winemaking history that spans
over 150 years. For the discerning wine lover, the winery offers visitors small-lot and estate
wines including a selection of old vine zinfandels in a stunning location.
The Stewart Family purchased the estate in 2012 with the goal of preserving its storied
history. Known for many years as Valley of the Moon Winery, the Stewarts reinstated the
original name dating back to the late 1800s: Madrone Vineyards Estate. The winery continues
to make Valley of the Moon wines which are available at retail stores nationally.
Visitors can relax in comfort and style in the newly remodeled tasting room or in the
shadow of the historic barrel cellar on the patio next to a creek side bocce court. Designer
Richard Von Saal has created an evocative setting by blending the old winerys uncut fieldstone
with reclaimed wood, glass, salvaged steel and concrete, recalling the origins of California wine
in the expansive, light-filled space. A family tree etched on zinc and a wall of historic estate
images and labels merge past with present. Rich leather sofas and armchairs cluster around an
ancient oak slab, a cozy banquette provides room for larger groups and two and four-top glass
tables are perfect for a focused tasting.
When asked about the beautiful blending of old and new, Estate President Tyler Galts said,
Madrone is an interesting winery in terms of its historical place in Sonoma and California it
is the oldest operating winery in Glen Ellen and has a family tree involving dozens of
interesting characters and stories. There is something really special about the place and we
hope our guests will feel that magic when they visit.
The estate is a truly unique Sonoma Valley destination that is among the best Sonoma has
to offer in terms of wine quality, service and the guest experiences we offer. The goal with our
wines is that they exceed expectations in term of quality, and very importantly that they
represent Sonoma.
And most importantly, the wines stand up to the history of Sonoma. Winemaker David
Marchesis philosophy of winemaking is to craft balanced wines that are expressive of their

grapes are picked at optimal ripeness,

There are many tour and tasting
programs offering experiences for the new
wine drinker or a seasoned connoisseur.

For food and wine lovers highlights

Pairing with a selection of four wines
expertly paired with four different artisanal
cheeses handcrafted and selected by the

Create Your Own Custom Wine with the


Help of Judds Hill MicroCrush & Winery
Nestled amongst the vineyards on the
famed Silverado Trail, youll find Judds Hill, a
small, family-owned winery that offers a fun,
personalized and educational experience for
those who have always dreamed of creating
their own wine. For over 25 years Judds Hill
has been making hand-crafted, ultra-premium,
custom wine through their MicroCrush
program, for grape growers, wine enthusiasts,
and budding wine entrepreneurs.
The unique service that sets Judds Hill
apart is their all-inclusive (grapes to bottle),
small-lot winemaking as little as a barrel.
Where most custom crush facilities require
large minimums, often between 5-10 tons of
fruit, at Judds Hill, all you need is a half-ton to
make your own barrel of wine.
The journey into small-lot winemaking
began when Judds Hill founder, Art
Finkelstein, was asked by a neighbor to make
a barrel of single-vineyard wine from his
grapes in order to showcase his fruit. Through
the years, word of this service spread to other
grape growers in Napa and beyond and
business grew. Over 25 years later, Judds Hill MicroCrush has
become the popular choice for grape growers and backyard vineyard
owners, as well as enthusiasts who are looking to share their wine
with family and friends. Businesses throughout the US, from

tHe place for custom winemaking in Napa valley


- Food and Wine Magazine

30

investment firms to interior design companies,


have also discovered that making wine with
Judds Hill MicroCrush can be a way to create
fun, unique marketing products to promote
their company.
MicroCrush makes creating wine easy! If you
dont have your own fruit, its not a problem.
Over the years, Judds Hill has established longterm relationships with growers around the
Napa Valley (and beyond) and is able to source
from a variety of premium vineyards. If you are
interested in getting something into bottle
sooner, they always have a great selection of
premium wine in barrels from their cellar that
can be custom blended to your taste.
Get involved in the winemaking process by
working closely with the MicroCrush team
every step of the way, from the moment your
grapes arrive on the crushpad, until the time
your wine is put into bottle. Meet one-on-one
at various points throughout the aging process
to sample your wine and see how its
developing. Make stylistic decisions with the
guidance of a winemaking team that holds over
50 years experience in the wine industry. Then, put a personal touch
on your wine by creating your own unique wine label, featuring
anything from your family name or company logo to a picture of
your favorite pet whatever you like! If you need help with your
design, Judds Hill can recommend a graphic designer to help make
your vision become a reality. Last but not least, meet with one of the
Judds Hill winemakers, prior to bottling, to create your own custom
blend or decide that your single varietal wine is best on its own. If
your schedule or distance doesnt allow you to participate, the Judds
Hill team will work with you remotely to help create the wine that
you have been dreaming of.
MicroCrush vintners also enjoy the same benefits as Judds Hill
Wine Club members! These perks include discounts on Judds Hill
wine and local lodging, as well as invitations to all of the Wine Club
and MicroCrush events. You also get special pricing on Bottle
Blending Day Camps, which are mini versions of MicroCrush and a
great way to have your friends and family enjoy the MicroCrush
experience on a smaller scale.

Wine Glass Writer A Necessity for Wine Country Entertaining


BY MELISSA VOGT

Today, the world of wine sees more educated wine enthusiasts now
more than ever. With the vast array of tasting experiences at wineries
and exclusive bottlings that enthusiasts can take home to cellar and
enjoy at a later date, it seems as though the average wine drinker is
not so average anymore. With wine education comes the excitement
of sharing that newfound knowledge with friends and family.
What better way to share that knowledge than by hosting a wine
tasting party? These days, wine is happily shared with friends and
family at gatherings, parties and celebrations by way of casual tasting
experiences to friendly but formal sit-down tastings in the comfort of
ones own home. But how to keep track of whose glass belongs to
whom? Those pesky charms are a bit outdated and tad cheesy for the
knowledgeable wine enthusiast today, but more elegant and refined
is the Wine Glass Writer.
This innovative product allows guests to choose from a trio of
metallic gold, silver and emerald green markers that are safe to use
on wine glasses. Guests write their names on the base/foot of the
glass or the bowl, and never loose their wine glass or mix it up with
someone elses glass at a tasting party again! The name will stay on
the glass for the duration of the event and then can easily be washed
off with a soapy sponge at the end of the night. Non-toxic, smudge
proof and based out of Northern Californias wine country, Wine

Glass Writer is an elegant product developed by the best in the


industry with the most enthusiastic of wine aficionados in mind.
Now you can host a tasting event, share your wine knowledge
with friends and family, and pour several varietals at once without
worrying that someone will loose or mix up their glass. Order yours
from the website at www.wineglasswriter.com. Cheers!

In the heart of Napa Valleys Carneros appellation since 1979.

We invite you to discover this unspoiled spot
just a little bit o the beaten track.

CALISTOGA
Midsummer Medieval Festival at Castello di Amorosa
Castello di Amorosa is hosting its seventh annual Midsummer
Medieval Festival on June 20. The festivities will commence at
6:45 p.m. and last until 11 p.m., offering a wide array of medieval
activities, including a full-contact Jousting Tournament, displays
of horse and swordsmanship and a sumptuous feast fit for any
king or queen, all paired with the Castellos fine wines.
Wine club members and guests are invited to don their best
medieval garb and assemble at Lake Mario above the Castello,
where they can toast their favorite knight or damsel at the fullcontact Jousting Tournament, as armor-clad knights compete in
feats of strength and speed from atop charging steeds. Guests also
have the opportunity to test their own skills with archery and
sword fighting lessons, or watch as the mail-clad knights
demonstrate sword fighting techniques and catapulting in the
medieval village they have created especially for the evening.
Once the tournament and festivities have concluded, lords and

Founded in 1992, today Frank Family owns 380 acres of the finest vineyard land
in Napa Valley and has one of the biggest word-of-mouth followings in the wine
country. First constructed as the Larkmead Winery in 1884, the historic stone
building on the property was refinished with native sandstone from the nearby
hills in 1906. The massive stone edifice is considered one of the finest structures
in the Napa Valley; it appears on the National Register of Historical Places and is
listed as a Point of Historical Interest in the state of California.

Napa Valley will proudly welcome car


connoisseurs from around the Bay Area and
beyond as V Marketplace in Yountville, hosts
the 25th Annual Fathers Day Invitational
Auto Show on Sunday, June 21 from 10 a.m.
to 3 p.m. Auto entries are by invitation. The
event is free to the Public.
From the national champions, to the local
favorites, to the one-of-a-kind collector
curiosities, more than 150 early and late
model autos spanning almost 100 years of
production can be seen at this noncompetitive, open-class invitational
exhibition. Whether nostalgia means rolling
down the road in a classic 1928 Model A
Phaeton, sliding into the drive-in with a 57
Chevy, or cruising the fast lane in a Ferrari,
this show-stopping collection presents some
of the finest autos to grace the highway in any
era and is the perfect gift for Fathers Day!
V Marketplace has also invited local
nonprofits to add to the festivities. Firing up
their grill, serving delicious sausages and hot
dogs, will be the Fire Explorers and the

Subterranean, intelligently designed, energy-efficient, beautiful, friendly,


futuristic, quirky and delicious are just some of the adjectives that describe
Fritz Winery. Located in the rugged, hilly fringes of Sonoma Countys Dry
Creek Valley, this winery is simply a must stop!
Youll enter the winerys driveway through an elegant white gateway,
drive over a wooden bridge and then meander up a fairly steep slope. The
driveway ends in an oak-shaded parking lot. Its a short walk up the hill to
the tasting room (handicapped parking is available right in front of the
tasting room) and the views of Dry Creek Valley are absolutely
breathtaking. The landscaping is minimal and focused on local flora and
fauna, with oak and pine trees shading the surrounding area.
Picnic tables with market umbrellas are scattered about the patio,
inviting guests to linger and enjoy the delicious wines and the gorgeous
scenery. Its very peaceful on the patio.
The winery itself is a sight to behold. Think hobbit house, crossed with
space station and youll start to get the picture. It is a tall futuristic-looking
white structure, which is set into the hillside. It has rounded archways for
the glass doors and windows, which let in plenty of golden Sonoma
County sunshine.
The newly remodeled tasting room is spacious and airy, with an
industrial-chic/modern-sustainable feel. The beautiful new tasting bar is a
u-shaped work of art made from white-washed elm. It sits front and center
in the room, inviting people to stop, sip and visit a while with the friendly,
knowledgeable tasting room team.
Fritz Winery is now featuring wine and food pairings every weekend,
by appointment, for only $20 per person. Most of the vegetables and olive
oil used in the pairings are grown on the property and the wines are, in
my humble opinion, amazing. Guided cave tours and vineyard hikes are
also available.
The vineyard hikes are offered daily at 10:30 a.m. by appointment.
Visitors are taken on a moderate-level hike, where they tour the organic
gardens, vineyards and redwood groves that make up the 112-acre estate,
and then enjoy a seated tasting. The vineyard hike takes about 45 minutes
and costs $45 per person. Both of these offerings are bargains, in my
humble opinion you need to check them out!
Fritz Winery was designed to be energy-efficient. It was constructed on
three levels to create a gravity-flow production system. The top level,
where the tasting room and crush pad sit, is where the grapes are crushed.
The second level (first underground tier) is where the juice is sent to be
cool-fermented, and then sent to the third level (second underground tier)
for barrel aging. All of this is done using gravity instead of pumps, which
is a much more gentle process for the grapes and finished wine. This
process utilizes the naturally even, cool underground temperature for
optimal processing and barrel aging of Fritz Winerys excellent wines.
If youre looking for a more chic, urban experience, visit Station 1870
wine bar (same owner) at 123 4th Street in downtown Santa Rosa
featuring wines from the Fritz Cellars portfolio and delectable dining from
Chef Helena Gustavsson of Helenas Kitchen. Station 1870 is open from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. For more information, visit
www.station1870.com.

Farm to Table Pig Roast this Fathers Day at Meadowcroft Wines


Bring Dad out for a Fathers Day feast fit for, well, Dad! Enjoy a
spit-fired, whole suckling pig prepared by Master Griller Adam De la
Montanya and house made sides prepared by Meadowcrofts own
resident chef, Darby Tarantino. Live entertainment and a few special
surprises will round out this memorable Fathers Day celebration.
This inaugural event takes place on Sunday, June 21, from noon to 3
p.m. and is $45 per person for Meadowcroft wine club members
and $55 for non-members. Reservations are required by calling the
tasting room at (707) 934-4090 or visiting meadowcroftwines.com.
The spit-fired pig will be prepared by Master Griller Adam De La
Montanya who currently represents Third Street AleWorks as their
Assistant Brewer, but has created quite a demand for his unique style
of barbecue, often booking his weekends as a private caterer.
De La Montanya developed his passion for Texas style barbecue

New Winerygeek app now available for iphone and Android!

while residing for many years in Austin, Texas and uses his Spanish
heritage as influence for his cooking.
Meadowcrofts Resident Chef Darby Tarantino, who is a graduate
of Ballymaloe Cookery School in Co. Cork, Ireland, plans to
prepare classic Wine Country sides that will complement De La
Montanyas barbecue and pair beautifully with Meadowcrofts
award-winning wines. In honoring her farm-to-table approach,
Tarantino will prepare sides to include Hooker House Bourbon
baked beans, featuring Rancho Gordo Heirloom beans and her
classic Sonoma Slaw using fresh produce from Green String Farm in
Petaluma. Grilled French bread from Full Circle Bakery in
Penngrove slathered with butter and spices will complete this
Fathers Day feast.
Meadowcroft Wines includes the Meadowcroft, Foyt Family and
Thomas Henry labels. The Meadowcroft tasting room is part of the
CornerStone Sonoma complex that features 24 world-class gardens,
a gourmet caf, art galleries and cutting-edge design shops all set
among acres of vineyards.
Meadowcroft Wines is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The
venue is available for private parties, private tastings, wine dinners
and other events. For information or to make reservations, call
(707) 934-4090.

Come and see for yourself why the tasting room at Kenwood
Vineyards promises a top ranking wine tasting experience.
Located in the town of Kenwood, the tasting room is housed
inside a warm and welcoming rustic barn dating back to 1906.
Upon arrival, the staff is knowledgeable, friendly and accessible
serving an impressive portfolio of premium wines, including the
exclusive trio of reds from the Jack London estate.
Founded in 1970, Kenwood Vineyards is a beautiful historic
winery with a deep connection to the land. For more than 40
years, Kenwood has earned the reputation of producing small lot
style wines from more than 550 estate-owned acres and using
sourced grapes from dozens of sustainably farmed vineyards in
Sonoma Countys best appellations. The vineyard grapes are picked
separately to preserve its uniqueness and true character. As a
result, every bottle of Kenwood Vineyards wine proves delicious.
In addition, Kenwood Vineyards has been given the privilege of
producing the Jack London series where a wolfs head adorns the
label. Kenwood Vineyards holds the sole rights to the vineyards of
the famous and historic Jack London Ranch. From these fertile
grapes, award-winning, limited-production wines are produced.
When visiting the tasting room, you must try their delicious 2012
Jack London Zinfandel, as well as the 2011 Jack London Syrah,
Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
With more than 30 wines on the tasting menu, you will find the
perfect wine for you. They have over 13 varietals, including
Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, White Zinfandel,
Moscato, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon,
Syrah, Vintage White and Red Blends, and Sparkling Wine.
Dont miss the Kenwood Vineyard Artist Series, a Sonoma
County tradition since 1975. Local artist David Lance Goines was
commissioned to create an original art work for the first reserve
Kenwood Vineyard 1975 Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon. The
concept was to design an inspiring, distinctive label that would
showcase an artists unique art. Today, each vintage represents a
distinct work of art, showcasing the true character of the
collection. The 2010 Artist Series Cabernet was given a Top Wine
accolade with a 91 rating by Wine Enthusiast in March of 2015.
Lovers of premium wine and fine art will be fully satisfied
spending the day at Kenwood Vineyards, one of the top 100
wineries in the Sonoma wine country!

Sonomas Mayo Family Winery Celebrates


A Decade of Putting Food on the Table
Mayo Family reserve room started Food and
Wine parings in sonoma ten Years Ago
A decade ago when Jeffrey Mayo asked
guests to sit down for an hour and
experience a parade of food and wine
pairings it represented the evolution of the
wine tasting room. Today, the Sonoma Valley
winery is joined by a collection of other
wineries that have followed the Mayo
Familys lead in offering visitors an
immersive food and wine pairing experience.
The tenth anniversary of the Mayo Family
Winery Reserve Room marks a decade
during which visitors to the Sonoma Valley
were first taken beyond the normal bellyup-to-the-bar wine tasting experience. The
Reserve Rooms seven course food and wine
pairing was the Valleys first such offering.
Today, the Reserve Room is a ritual for many
who return regularly to sample the pairing
menu that changes five times annually.
We were not entirely sure in 2005 if
visitors wanted to sit down for an hour and a
half to sip and taste their way through a food
and wine pairing with a chef, recalls Mayo
Family Winery president Jeffrey Mayo. It
turns out they did and still do appreciate a
slower paced wine experience that
emphasizes both wine and food.
The Mayo Family Reserve Room
experience has remained unchanged over
the past decade. Guests are seated at tables.
Then over the course of an hour and a half
they see three plates paired with three
reserve wines delivered to the table by the
chef Clayton Lewis. Then another three
pairings arrive. Mayo Family Reserve Room

Started Food and Wine Parings in Sonoma


Ten Years Ago
We think that there may come a day
when a great many more wineries choose to
invest in a serious food and wine pairing
option for their guests, said Mayo. Over
the past ten years weve discovered that
visitors love this extra step, the slower more
relaxing experience and the chance to
encounter wine at a different levelplus,
who doesnt like to eat.
Mayo Family Winery produces small
batch, single vineyard wines sold exclusively
from the tasting room. The Reserve Room is
located at 9200 Sonoma Highway in
Kenwood, Sonoma Valley. Reservations are
recommended and can be made by calling
(707) 833-5504 or visiting
mayofamilywinery.com/Reserve-Room.

B.R. Cohn Charity Events Announces 2015 Sonoma Music Festival


october 2-4 at sonomas Field of dreams:
Chicago, America playing october 2
ringo starr and His All-starr Band, pablo Cruise playing october 3
doobie Brothers with Michael Mcdonald, gregg Allman on october 4
Tickets are now on sale for B.R. Cohn Charity Events (BRCCE)
2015 Sonoma Music Festival, October 2-4 at the Field of Dreams
near downtown Sonoma. Appearing at the successor to his fabled
28-year winery fall festival are Chicago and America on Friday
evening, October 2; Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band with Pablo
Cruise Saturday evening, October 3; and the Doobie Brothers with
Michael McDonald, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Gregg Allman, the
Edgar Winter Band, Tommy Castro and others Sunday afternoon,
October 4. Tickets and information are available on the website at
www.sonomamusicfestival.com or call 1-888-810-2063.
Tickets range from VIP experiences starting at $1000, $350 to
$219 for Gold Circle (Friday/Saturday) and $119 and $89 for
general admission seated tickets for all days. A limited amount of
$47 local Sonoma tickets for standing room only will be available in
person with locations announced soon. Special ticket packages,
including three-day tickets and limo packages, will also be available
through the website.
The Sonoma Music Festival was born from the desire of BRCCE
to change up its annual fall event formerly at B.R. Cohn Winery and
move it closer to town for a more community event. The new Field
of Dreams location not only puts the concert goer two blocks from

Sonomas Plaza, it allows the festival the opportunity to grow and


generate more proceeds for charity. This years beneficiaries include
national and local veterans organizations including Fisher House
and American Legion Post 489, the Redwood Food Bank, Bread and
Roses and others to be announced. Over its 28-year history BRCCE
has raised more than 6.5 million dollars for charity.
This is a very impressive three-day line-up, exclaimed Bruce
Cohn. Not only do we get to finally present a Beatle, but all of
these great acts are a perfect fit for Sonoma and wine country. Come
up to stay, shop and enjoy this great music-filled fundraising
weekend.
The Field of Dreams set-up, while different than the winery setup, still allows in the BRCCE tradition, great sight lines and access
no more than 150 feet from the stage. With the newly added night
time headliners, video and projection screens will make sure you
dont miss a thing happening on stage. These are rain or shine
shows.
Plans call for the best music, food and wine Sonoma has to offer.
Many of the regions finest purveyors are joining in, including
Lagunitas Brewing, a pop-up HopMonk beer garden, high-end and
popular restaurants and, of course, some of the best wine in
California including B.R. Cohn and many others. There will be no
in and out privileges.

Coro Mendocino Celebrates 2012 Vintage


with Release Party in San Francisco, June 19
the iconic and Collaborative Label debuts its 2012 Collection of Wines
with a Multi-Course Winemaker dinner at dogpatch WineWorks in sF
Coro Mendocino, a collection of ultra-premium wines produced
to showcase the rich heritage and unique characteristics of
Mendocino County, will debut its 2012 vintage at their 12th Annual
Release Party on Friday, June 19. This year, Coro Mendocino is
excited to announce that it has moved the annual events location
from Mendocino County to San Francisco, with the event this year
taking place at Dogpatch WineWorks in the DogPatch District of San
Francisco. The Coro Mendocino winemakers and local food
personality Liam Mayclem of KCBS Foodie Chap and KPIX 5 TVs
Eye on The Bay will host the event, and Executive Chef Bruce
Riezenman will be preparing an elegant multi-course dinner designed
to showcase the 2012 vintage.
We are beyond excited to grow this annual event by hosting our
first-ever Release Party in San Francisco, states Hoss Milone,
Marketing Manager for Coro Mendocino and Winemaker at Brutocao
Cellars. While Mendocino has been a wonderful location for our
Release Dinner for the past 11 years, in 2015 we are looking forward
to sharing the Coro story with a larger audience, outside the borders
of our beloved Mendocino County.
The 2012 vintage marks the 12th release for Coro Mendocino,
and includes wines from eight diverse Mendocino County vintners.
The christened label and blend known as Coro named and
inspired from the Latin root for chorus (from many into one) is
the first appellation-controlled blend in the United States.
Every Coro wine is a signature blend, individually handcrafted in
Mendocino County from 100 percent Mendocino County grapes, in
strict accordance with the production protocols and bylaws set forth
by Consortium Mendocino. Zinfandel, the countys heritage varietal,
must make up no more than 70 percent and no less than 40 percent
of the wine. Nine other types of grapes may be included, typically
Rhone or Italian varietals.
All Coro Mendocino wines are aged a minimum of one year in the
barrel and one in the bottle before the world is permitted to taste
them. Even then, no one can sip until the winemakers in the
Consortium have blind-tasted every wine and determined that the
wine is worthy of the Coro label.
2015 marks the 12th vintage of the Coro Mendocino label,
established in 2000 by a collection of liked-minded Mendocino
County winemakers. Over the past fifteen years, twenty-one wineries
have participated in the Coro consortium. The reviews for previous
years have been effusive, calling the wines smooth, lush, intense,
sophisticated and fun, and rich, long and stylish.
Of course, no two Coro wines are ever exactly alike. Oenophiles
will have the opportunity to be the first to taste the 2012 vintage at
the official Coro Release Party on June 19, at Dogpatch WineWorks in
San Francisco. Each vintner will pour selections of their white, red
and sparkling wines during the welcome reception (beginning at 6

Catering. Following the opening reception, guests will be seated and
enjoy a gourmet, four-course meal highlighting local Mendocino
products prepared by celebrated owner and Executive Chef at Park
Avenue Catering, Bruce Riezenman. Each course will be paired with
multiples wines from the 2012 vintage (full menu with pairings listed
above). Every table will host a different winemaker or a winery
representative from a Coro winery to answer any questions guests
might have about Coro and the wines being poured. The evening will
conclude with a selection of beautifully handmade desserts and treats,
including a Coro sorbet, paired with ports and dessert wines from the
participating Coro wineries.
Wineries participating in Coro Mendocinos 2012 Annual Release
Party include: Barra of Mendocino, Brutocao Cellars, Clos du Bois,
Golden Vineyards, McFadden Vineyard, Parducci Wine Cellars, Rays
Station and Testa Vineyards. As a parting gift, each couple will receive
a complete collection of the eight 2012 Coro wines produced by
these labels to take home and enjoy (a value of $320).
Cost per couple to attend the Release Party is $700, and includes
the complete collection of 2012 Coro wines (a $350 value).
The Coro wines have evolved over the last 12 years as fullbodied, fruit-forward products that stand out as complex and
different from standard varietal bottlings, said Dennis Patton, a
founding Coro winemaker. In moving the dinner to San Francisco,
we hope to introduce Coro wines to individuals who are not familiar
with the brand, and have them fall in love with our story and wines,
just as our loyal and long-time fan base has.

New Tasting Room and Wine Brand Launch in Carmel Valley


Terroir is the most important force in
creating distinct wines. The French word
speaks to a wines place of origin, its subtle
nuances of traceable character, flavor, lineage
and integrity.
An estate wine from Carmel Valley,
Jarmans terroir refers to a special place and
also to a special woman who inspired a
family to bottle the essence of a mothers
spirit.
Jarman Fearing Lowder grew up in
Chattanooga, Tenn., and lived up to being
voted best all around in high school. She
earned a nursing degree, worked as an R.N.
and raised three daughters with her husband
Thomas. An active volunteer, animal lover,
athlete and enthusiastic traveler, Jarman

wanted to spend her golden years making


wine with her husband at Holman Ranch, an
idyllic piece of property in Carmel Valley
they purchased to realize that dream.
Tragically, Jarman died in March of 2011
at age 60 following a long battle with early
onset Alzheimers disease.
To honor her mothers memory,
Holman Ranch manager and eldest
daughter Hunter Lowder has vowed to
take the best hand-selected estate grapes
and create two premium varietals Jarman
Chardonnay and Jarman Pinot Noir
($1 from each bottle sold will go to
Alzheimers Drug Discovery Foundation,
www.alzdiscovery.org/about-addf.)
We are thrilled to be working with

A Weekend of Summertime Festivities in the Santa Cruz


Mountains Solstice on the Summit Vintners Festival
Enjoy a summertime vintners festival in the Santa Cruz Mountains with The Summit
Wineries at their 4th Annual Solstice on the Summit Festival the weekend of June 20-21,

The festive weekend includes seven wineries providing a top of the world wine

mountain wine. All wineries are in the Summit Road area between Los Gatos and Santa
Cruz and include Burrell School, MJA Vineyards, Silver Mountain, Villa del Monte and
Wrights Station as well as Muns Vineyard and Radonich Ranch at The Summit Store.
Tickets are $25, include an event wine glass, and are good for both days at all
participating locations. Tickets are available from any participating winery. For more

Each winery will offer a different festival experience celebrating summer.
Silver Mountain: The Silver Mountain Art and Wine Festival features artists, artisan
and food vendors, live music with the Silver Mountain Jazz Trio, a guest chef catering
small plates and extensive wine tasting list, tours of the organic vineyard and
sustainable winery
Burrell School: Live music, hors doeuvres, open garden featuring Annes heritage roses

The Summit Store: A full grocery with a wide selection of picnic fare to take to the
wineries or dinner to take home later, and the largest selection of Santa Cruz
Mountains wines in the mountains. On Sunday, The Summit Store will host two
wineries from the summit tasting their wines: Muns Vineyard and its Santa Cruz
Mountains Pinot Noirs and Syrah from its nearby vineyard; and Radonich Ranch
tasting Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from its vineyard and winery on Highland Way.

Holman Ranch. Having known Jarman


Lowder personally, I am so proud to be
linked to a fine wine in her name, said
Howard Fillit, MD, Founding Executive
Director and Chief Science Officer, ADDF
Every dollar donated through our
partnership will go directly to Alzheimers
drug research.
We wanted to honor her, give back and
increase awareness, Hunter said.
Everything we do here and the reason all
this exists is because of her.
The Jarman label will reflect quality, with
only the best local grapes used during a
artisanal, small-batch winemaking process.
Jarman wine uses only 100 percent estategrown, organic and certified-sustainable
grapes. Aged in French oak barrels, Jarmans
vintages are held in limited supply, and not
available anywhere outside the tasting room.
The two varietals include:
The 2013 Jarman Pinot Noir takes on
nuances of warm blueberry pie, cloves and
cinnamon that mingle in the nose with oak
notes from 10 months in the barrel. The
mouth-feel is plump and juicy with
overtones of cassis and blackberries.
The 2014 Jarman Chardonnay features
floral notes reminiscent of walking by a
parfumerie in France subtle and
pleasant with a hint of earthiness. When
serving this wine lightly chilled, rich notes
of under-ripe berries and raw honey will
waltz across your palate.
The new Jarman tasting room is located at
16 W. Carmel Valley Road, Carmel Valley and
offers three unique experiences: Cru Tasting,
Premier Cru Experience and the Grand Cru
Experience. The tastings will feature fullfledged experiences, including tours and
wine education, and each will include a food
element that complements the wine. The
tasting room is open noon to 5 p.m.,
Thursday through Sunday.
To celebrate, Jarman will hold a public
grand opening on Tuesday, June 23, from 5
to 7 p.m.
For more information, go to
jarmanwine.com, call (831) 298-7300 or
e-mail: info@jarmanwine.com.
