Quality Wines All Under $25


at Wine Garage, Calistoga
Hidden next to a dilapidated ’40s-era former filling station on Highway 29 in
Calistoga lies the Wine Garage. A unique wine shop in Napa Valley that retails all
wine in the store under $25. Sound crazy? Its true. And the proprietors Todd and
Joy Miller, have hit on a niche in the Valley that had been very missed by the locals
there.
“There are a lot of winemakers here that can’t afford to drink the wine they
make” says Miller. “That’s crazy, yes, but who can afford to drink a $65 bottle with
dinner every night?”
Many people miss the Wine Garage on the first try upvalley, but the search is
well worth it. Miller stocks wine from all of California’s wine growing regions
including an large assortment from Napa and Sonoma counties and other Cali-
fornia appellations. When he first sought out buying the initial inventory, “I
enlisted a local farmer buddy and his 15-foot box van and off we went all over Cali-
fornia hunting down the deals. I tried to seek out the small producers who didn’t
have distributors so I could pass the savings on to my customers.” And Miller did
just that. His store is stocked with high-quality juice all under $25 and all are
unique. Most labels in the shop are unrecognizable – but all pass the same test;
everything passes over Miller’s lips before he makes a buy. “If I don’t love it, I don’t
buy it, period. Sometimes I will taste over a hundred wines in one day, load up the
truck and haul it up to Calistoga, unload at the store, and maybe I will crawl in bed
by 3 a.m. Needless to say my buddy bowed out of the deal after their second trip.
I initially recruited him on a ‘hey lets go wine tasting in Santa Barbara’ until he real-
ized how much work it entailed. Poor guy, he had to be at the farm at 5 in the
morning.”
It is all worth it. Millers’ customers love him. He has a unique ability to hear a
verbal description of a customer’s favorite wine and translate that into a recommen-
dation for sometimes a third of the cost. “I have people all over the country that use
me as their local wine shop. I ship right to their door – and the cost of the shipping
is a drop in the bucket compared to what they save on the cost of the wine.
Miller gets deals on Napa wine too. “I have winemakers from small wineries
stop in every week saying ‘I have something that will fit into the store,’ if they only
have 15 or 25 cases of an end-of-vintage wine – I am the perfect outlet for them.”
So head up to the Wine Garage and check out the best deals in the Valley at
1020 Foothill Blvd (Hwy 29), Calistoga, CA 94515. For more information, call
(707) 942-5332. You can also check out the website at winegarage.net.

FEATURE STORY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK

Earth Day in Wine Country


by Charles Neave
Perhaps more than most places, the wine country has a continuing,
enduring relationship with the planet. The soil, the climate, the sun,
native plants and wildlife, from the smallest wren or hummingbirds to the
hawks and eagles that ride the thermals near the hillsides and cliffs that
help define the valleys. Rainfall, water reserves, degree days, shade and
rock formations, microclimates, soil types, altitude, even the tides and
eons of geological events all are major factors when you set out to farm,
raise fruit and grow grapes.
As virtually every winemaker will tell you, great wines start with great
grapes; great grapes come from vineyards that are carefully planted and
cared for. Winemaking involves constantly evolving science, that is true,
and artistry, but it begins with farming. It’s just that some of those grapes

Perhaps unlike anyone in the
nation, deLeuze charges the Volt’s
battery exclusively with electricity
generated from the 712 solar
panels at the winery and another

the most eco-friendly drivers on
the road.

another example. Recycled denim
was used as insulation, natural
plants that do not require watering
were planted, five ponds provide
places for waterfowl to rest, great
expanses of glass capture natural
light, tables are made from recycled
aluminum, and the wood that was
used is reclaimed. And of course
solar panels provide the electricity.
Shafer Vineyards in the Stags
Leap district of Napa Valley is also
solar powered, but their efforts
don’t stop there. “We started our
sustainable farming efforts in two
ways back in the late 1980s. One
was to erect nesting boxes for owls.
The owls had to discover the
boxes; we didn’t capture them and
place them inside. Within a year or
so of starting the owl program, we
erected perch poles, which attract
raptors such as Red Shouldered
Hawks, Red Tailed Hawks, and
American Kestrels,” said founder
John Shafer who, with his son
Doug, have been tireless in their
efforts.
All of this Greening is a lot of
work, but as Steve Reynolds at
Reynolds Family Winery on the
Silverado Trail said, “I do these
things for my children. That is why
I make many of the decisions I
make, to care for the land the way
I think is best.” And that may be
the best way, on Earth Day and
every day, to be a thoughtful care-
taker for Mother Earth.

Spring is in Bloom at Ferrari-Carano


What better way to treat your senses than to spend a day at
Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery? Nestled in Dry Creek Valley,
Ferrari-Carano is known for their world-class wines as well as their
magnificent gardens, and spring is the perfect time to visit. Sip newly
released wines while enjoying thousands of tulips, daffodils, flow-
ering trees and other awe-inspiring flora in full bloom.
Villa Fiore (“House of Flowers”) is the winery’s magnificent hospi-
tality center. Upon entering, guests immediately feel the warm Italian
ambiance of this elegant tasting room. Visitors may enjoy a sampling
of Classic and Villa Fiore wines in the wine shop, or head down to
the cellar and the Enoteca to sample Reserve and Limited Release
wines such as Ferrari-Carano’s single-vineyard Russian River Valley
Chardonnays, collector red wines including Tresor and PreVail, as
well as dessert late-harvest wines.
For a more in-depth wine tasting experience, Private Tastings are
available by appointment that highlight the many nuances of wine
in a fun and informative style. The tastings are hosted by an expe-
rienced wine educator and include Matchmaker, where participants
sample four wines paired with delicious, seasonal small bites; Pick

renowned artists and two rare Portuguese cork trees dot the land-

Sausal Winery Celebrates


Cellar Cat Sophie
Gypsie and Sophie are the Sausal Winery Cellar Cats. Years ago
Gypsie wandered into the winery but then quickly disappeared. Not
long after, she was found again with a litter of kittens in the cellar.
Sophie is one of those kittens, and this April Sausal Winery is cele-
brating Sophie’s ninth birthday. Stop by any day of the week to meet
the cats and taste the wines that honor them.
When they are not posing for pictures, Gypsie and Sophie can be
found lounging around the office, tasting room or porch. Occasionally
you might see Sophie chasing a bunny through the vineyard or Gypsie
stalking a bird on the lawn. But, if you bring a lunch to the picnic
tables, Sophie will surely turn up.
Sausal Winery specializes in old vine Zinfandel from their estate
vineyards, but also makes two cellar cat tribute wines. Cellar Cats Red,
a non-vintage Estate Zinfandel, is light and fruity; an easy sipper on a
warm night. The Purrfect Petite is the newest tribute to the winery
cats, and Petite Sirah was chosen as their varietal compliment because
they are both inky black, big and bold.
Sausal Winery is located in Alexander Valley, just a few miles east of
the charming town of Healdsburg. For more information, call 1-800-
500-2285 or visit them online at www.sausalwinery.com.

And they’re off…To buy Seabiscuit Ranch Wines at


Sonoma Enoteca to celebrate the Kentucky Derby
The story of Seabiscuit lives on in the heart of America. And
everyone who saw the incredible movie was touched by the tale of the
knobby-kneed racehorse who triumphed over adversity to become
one of the greatest champions of the 20th century.
The legendary champion racehorse, Seabiscuit, captured the
emotional spirit of America with his tenacity, endurance, winning
spirit and passion. Those same qualities apply to our Seabiscuit Ranch
wines. Made from the award-winning winegrapes from small premium
vineyards, these wines possess full rich aromas and ripe fruit flavors.
Enjoy Seabiscuit Chardonnay, Merlot and Superfecta Meritage
wines anytime. Celebrate the Kentucky Derby on May 7, 2011 with
very special Seabiscuit wines as you watch the Run For The Roses.
Stop in to Sonoma Enoteca on the historic Sonoma Plaza and choose
your favorites.
The 2008 Seabiscuit Ranch Chardonnay is a beautiful balance of
fruit and oak. Lovely aromas of ripe pear and apple perfectly balanced
with buttery elegance is a winner, and just $22.50.
The 2006 Seabiscuit Ranch Merlot is a smooth, inviting fruit-
forward wine with full-bodied flavors or ripe plums, cherries
and blackberries. It’s aged sixteen months in small oak
barrels and sells for just $22.50.

original Ridgewood Ranch. Located just 20 miles from the Mendocino
coastline, these small, award-winning vineyards are perched at an alti-
tude of 1,000 feet on steep slopes of the Pacific Coastal Mountain
range. Vines are nurtured and harvested entirely by hand according to
sustainable growing practices.
Grapes from Mendocino County’s Redwood Valley appellation are
uniquely flavorful, complex and well-balanced. Warm days contrast
with cool nighttime temperatures. These dramatic daily temperature
swings offer the qualitative edge to fruit harvested from one of Cali-
fornia’s northernmost viticultural districts.
So from Seabiscuit Ranch and from all of us at Sonoma Enoteca, we
hope you pick a winner! Sonoma Enoteca is located at 35 East Napa
Street, Sonoma. Visit Sonoma-enoteca.com or call (707) 935-1200.
Sonoma Enoteca offers hand-crafted wines from ten boutique
wineries, wine accessories, books, olive oils and home furnishings.

Throw in the ever-popular Wine and Song around the Plaza, which
will feature all varieties of jazz from cutting-edge to funk to piano to
old-time from 1:30 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and a New Orleans Jazz
Brunch on Sunday (11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.), and Sonoma will be awash
in great music on the third weekend in May.
Among the most popular aspects of Sonoma Jazz +, for the past six
years, has been the Wine & Song series around the Sonoma Plaza. It
will of course return, and more details will come later as the event gets
closer. On Sunday – given the 4 p.m. start for the Gipsy Kings on the
main stage – Wine & Song will be from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and
center on a New Orleans Brunch. Think of a transplant of Jackson
Square to the Plaza with fabulous food and the sound of a mellow
trumpet, among other things, across the room.
The Sonoma Jazz + Festival is pleased to recognize its new alliance
focused on programming with AEG Live (www.AEGLive.com), the
world’s second largest live entertainment, concert promotion and
touring company.
Sonoma Jazz + has also completed a new three-year presenting
rights agreement with Union Bank (www.UnionBank.com), a
founding sponsor of the event, which will result in the festival now
being known as Sonoma Jazz + Presented By Union Bank.
Finally, Sonoma Jazz + would especially like to thank the City of
Sonoma for its gracious support. Throughout the seven years of the
festival, the city has unfailingly worked to make the process of
presenting music in Sonoma a rewarding one for both the presenters
and the audiences.
Tickets are available at www.sonomajazz.org or 1-888-512-SHOW
