INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER by Len Napolitano
What is a hot wine?

Despite its connotation for things that are trendy and in demand, when applied to wine, the word hot is definitely not one that makes winemakers feel warm and fuzzy. A hot wine is one whose alcohol content is over the top. Along with other components of fruitiness, tannin and acidity, alcohol is a necessary part of every great wine, but when it dominates a wines impact on the palate, it causes a burning sensation on the tongue, or lips or on the whole palate. When severe, it can be quite jarring to the unsuspecting wine drinker. Of all the components that make up a bottle of wine, alcohol is perhaps the one that makes the biggest impact in the final product. Because, by manipulating the amount of alcohol in the wine, a winemaker can give a dry wine an impression of sweetness, or make a thin wine feel more full-bodied. There are ways in which a wines alcohol level can be manipulated one takes place outside in the vineyard and the other inside the winery. In the vineyard, grapes that are left longer on the vine before picking, that is, increasing its hang time, will naturally develop more sugar. And its the sugar inside the grapes that gets converted into alcohol during fermentation. So, if you start fermentation with a high percentage of sugar content in the juice, you end up with more alcohol when the fermentation finishes. In the past ten years, the average amount of alcohol in wines has quietly been creeping upward. Not long ago, the average Chardonnay contained 11.5%-12.5% alcohol, but today its quite normal to see 13.0% or more. And, the issue is not limited to just Chardonnay. From Fum Blanc to Zinfandel, the trend is evident in most California wines. Its hard to determine if the wine producers are simply responding to consumer demand for more robust wines or acting on a desire to imitate the higher alcohol levels in wines that have been consistently getting highest scores from many respected wine critics and publications. Whichever the reason, the trend is something the wine consumer should be concerned with. However, some wine producers are making an effort to control the growth of high-alcohol wines. Inside the winery, winemakers who feel that a wine doesnt necessarily get better with more alcohol take steps to actually reduce the alcohol content in wines that ferment to excessive heights. A mechanical process, called spinning cone technology, can be used to remove a pre-determined amount of alcohol from wine in order to make it more balanced, food-friendly and exhibit more noticeable delicacy and nuance. Another method of reducing alcohol is to add water to the fermenting juice, although this approach is not often used.

VJB VINEYARDS & CELLARS

New Tasting Room and Marketplace Opens its Doors for a Taste Of Italia in Sonoma Valley
Its been the talk of the Sonoma Valley for weeks as people have watched the finishing touches being put on the stunning two-story Italian villa along the Sonoma Highway in Kenwood. That buzz has reached a crescendo now that VJB Vineyards and Cellars has officially opened its new tasting room and marketplace, offering visitors an authentic taste of Italy in the heart of the Sonoma Valley. This opening marks the realization of a long-held dream for the Belmonte family who had been pouring their wines for the past decade at a smaller store-front tasting room adjacent to their new property. Weve always prided ourselves on our family hospitality, and this new property takes it to a new level, says Henry Belmonte. This is where people can truly experience our unique culture and in some way feel embraced into our family. VJBs new home, which looks like it was plucked off a Tuscan hillside, is surrounded by nearly two acres of newly planted Montepulciano and Aglianico vines, both Italian varietals that are rarely grown in California. In the tasting room, guests can sample those wines as well as other Italian varietals such as the award-winning Barbera, Primitivo and VJBs flagship wine called Dante a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese made in the tradition of a Super Tuscan wine. The marketplace features estate-grown olive oil, owner and Executive Chef Maria Belmontes homemade tomato sauces and pestos, plus a wide range of the very best imported Italian pantry items. In the coming weeks, guests can also choose from a selection of freshly made antipasti, panini and salads in La Cucina, the onsite deli and espresso bar, or order pizzas made in the outdoor wood-fired oven. At the heart of the ten-thousand-square-foot property is the central courtyard that exudes the ambiance of a piazza in a small Italian village. Here, guests can enjoy a glass of wine or a long, leisurely lunch from La Cucina. At one end of the piazza is the brick oven where the pizzas are made and a demonstration kitchen where Chef Maria and her son and co-owner Henry will host cooking classes featuring beloved family recipes. The opening of their new winery marks VJB Vineyards and Cellars entry as a top wine and food destination for the local community and visitors traveling the scenic Highway 12 corridor.
VJB VINEYARDS & CELLARS TASTING ROOM AND MARKETPLACE Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Espresso bar opens at 6 a.m. Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. weekends 60 Shaw Avenue in Kenwood, CA (707) 833-2300 | visit www.vjbcellars.com

Walter Schug
SCHUG CARNEROS ESTATE

Pinot Pickin Party and Outdoor Tasting
BY MIKE HYLAND
SCHUG CARNEROS ESTATE Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 602 Bonneau Road, Sonoma, CA 95476 (707) 939-9363 | www.schugwinery.com
Steeped in wine country history, the Schug Carneros Estate Winery was established in 1980 by Walter Schug, highly regarded for creating excellent wines and known throughout Napa and Sonoma counties. Schugs reputation expanded greatly during his tenure as founding winemaker for Napas Joseph Phelps Vineyards in the 1970s, where he made Californias first proprietary Bordeaux-style blend called Insignia as well as award-winning Cabernets. A native of Germanys Rhein River Valley, Walter Schug was raised on the regions only Pinot Noir estate, a varietal he has known since childhood. Both his father and his father-inlaw managed wine estates in Germany, so it was only natural that grape growing and winemaking would become a big part of Walters life. He marked his first harvest in 1953, apprenticing at all nine of the famed wine estates of Hessen, in the Reingau area of Germany. In 1959, after graduating from the prestigious German wine institute of Geisenheim, Walter left for California where he spent a year expanding his knowledge working at a winery as well as taking extension courses at UC Davis. Two years later, he returned to California for good, with his wife Gertrud. In 1966, Julio Gallo asked him to become the familys head of Grower Relations and Quality Control for Northern California. Through his work with Gallo, Walter became acquainted with more than 500 independent growers and several thousand acres of prime vineyards in Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino counties. Needless to say, Walter knows where all the premium grapes are in wine country. By 1980, and with a very small market for Pinot Noir, Joseph Phelps ceased production of the varietal. Not wanting to stop working with the grape that was so prominent in his life as a child, and firmly believing in its future, Walter made a deal with Phelps to continue his regular work at the winery, and also produce Pinot Noir under his own label. Three years later, Walters private project had grown to such an extent that he left Phelps to concentrate on his own brand, growing it over the years from 2,000 cases to 35,000 cases a year. Walter marked his 50th harvest in 2003, an achievement that very few in California can claim. Today as winemaster, Walter continues to oversee the production of consistently great wines along with winemaker Michael Cox, who grew up in Sonoma and worked in both
20

Sonoma and Napa as a student. Cox has been working with Walter for more than 17 years. With Chardonnay and Pinot Noir being the mainstays of the Schug Estate, the hospitality staff is gearing up for its 8th Annual Pinot Pickin Party n Polenta-aPlenty Picnic which follows in the footsteps of its predecessors; last years Pinot Pickin Party n Pizza Pie Palooza and the 2010 edition, Pinot Pickin Party n Palate Poppin Paella Picnic. This event takes place during the second or third weekend in September and includes, of course, Pinot grape picking on the estate, a catered luncheon, tasting of the Pinot Noir that was picked two years ago (especially cool for those who worked it two years ago) and a whole lot of fun and community with wine club members. A new addition has been added to the wine tasting experience at Schug as well. An outdoor wine tasting area has been created on the south end of the winery which offers beautiful vistas of the Carneros region, but most importantly, it was specifically situated to be alee of the daily afternoon winds. There are so many beautiful days when folks would just like to taste the wines outside, says David Cumming, director of consumer sales and a 15 year member of the Schug family.The biggest obstacle to overcome was the Petaluma Express that blows through here just about every day, so we found a great spot that works perfectly, and we provide a new tasting experience for our guests. Come by Schug and enjoy the great wines in the great outdoors and if you are just a bit adventurous, sign on to pick a little Pinot in September and sample plenty of polenta while you are at it!

MILJENKO MIKE GRGICH

Celebrating 35 Years of the Man and His Legend
BY ABIGAIL P. ZIMMERMAN
GRGICH HILLS ESTATE Open Daily from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 1829 St Helena Hwy S Saint Helena, CA 94574 (800) 532-3057 | www.grgich.com
The American Dream came true for me in Napa ValleyThat is how I feel about it., explained famed winemaker Mike Grgich. It being the sweeping success story of man triumphing over Easternblock Communism and global migration only to win the most celebrated wine competition ever the 1976 Paris Tasting and placing California wine squarely on the global enological throne as King. No small feat any of it so you can imagine my surprise to find this Napa titan a fit, twinkle-eyed 89 years old, happily signing autographs, taking pictures and even pouring wine to unwitting customers behind the bar in his universally acclaimed Grgich Hills Estate Winery. Born into a winemaking family living under Communism in Croatia, Miljenko Mike Grgich was one of 11 children tending vineyards from a very young age. His mother weaned him from breast milk at 2-1/2 years and my next beverage, from that point forward, was wine Wine is so important for the whole family, continued Mike. It is tradition. It took the covert whispers of his college professor, Professor Hebrang (who had just returned from a sabbatical trip to study California wines and vines) to inspire young Mike to think big. In the rare absence of police monitors, Professor Hebrang whispered California is a Paradise. And, Mike was hooked. In August 1954, he literally walked out of Croatia carrying just one small suitcase with two degrees in winemaking and business, ten books on winemaking, a clean beret and US $32 between the soles of his shoe. It took him four years to arrive in West Germany, immigrate to Canada by 1958 and later board a Greyhound bus to California. He arrived at 10:15 p.m. on August 15, 1958 in St. Helena, California holding the promise of a job at Souverain Cellars. The Souverain position came with a small cottage that Mike was emotionally overwhelmed to see surrounded by Zinfandel vineyards the same vines he knew as a boy. The vines, to Mike, were old friends and I felt not lonesome anymore. Mikes subsequent meteoric rise in winemaking is stuff of legend. Like Henry Ford or Andrew Carnegie, Mike worked his way up from humble beginnings to be a keystone of his industry based on luck, ambition and determination. Following one vintage at Souverain, Mike moved onto Christian Brothers (now the Culinary Institute of America) followed by nine years working alongside legendary Russian winemaker Andre Tchelistcheff at Beaulieu Vineyards. In 1968, a mere ten years after stepping off that Greyhound bus, Mike became Chief Enologist at the most innovative winery of the time, the Robert Mondavi Winery. In 1969, I made my very first Cabernet for Robert, Mike recalls by fusing cutting-edge techniques that nodded to his traditional winemaking heritage. Mike listened intently to the teaching of the master and took to heart Roberts preaching that one day, wed be making wines every bit as good as France. By 1972, Mike joined Chateau Montelena as winemaker and limited partner. There, he produced the epic 1973 Chardonnay that knocked the

French out of first position in the most famous, groundbreaking, blind tasting competition in Paris, 1976. That day, his 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay scored not just the best Chardonnay but the very best wine in the world. I was nobody really until that point, says Grgich. Jim Barrett, Montelena owner, showed Mike the winning telegram but it took Frank Prial, a reporter from the New York Times to fly out to Napa and truly explain the magnitude of the win. Then, Mike remembers, It was like being born again. Within a single year, he joined forces with Austin Hills, of Hills Brother Coffee Co., and broke ground on his childhood dream a California winery of his very own Grgich Hills Estate. In each corner of the new winery, Mike buried one of his four top bottles produced respectively at Souverain, Beaulieu Vineyards, Robert Mondavi and Chateau Montelena. Mike did not let his fame get the best of him. Instead, he
channeled his focus into producing smaller and smaller batches of only the finest quality Napa Valley wines. Mike worked to purchase prime Napa vineyards to control every step on winemaking from vine to bottle. Today, all Grgich Hills wines are produced from 100% Estate vineyards and represent some of the finest terroir and microclimates found in Napa Valley. Even now in 2012, Mike and his team still work to carefully produce artisan wine each year. With too large a production, you cant specialize, says Mike. The rule exists that limited production allows you, the Winemaker, to be an artist. Today, Mike still revels among his vines and works with daughter Violet and nephew Ivo Jeramaz on each vintage produced at Grgich Hills Estate. And on very special occasions, he breaks out a bottle of that 1973 Chardonnay to savor with family. To Mike, the old wines taste better and better as Good wine and good ladies only improve with maturity.

TASTING ROOM OF THE WEEK
ZINA HYDE CUNNINGHAM WINERY

BY CHARLES NEAVE
ZINA HYDE CUNNINGHAM WINERY Open daily, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 14077 Highway 128, Boonville, CA 95415 (707) 895-9462 | www.zinawinery.com They are also on Facebook and Twitter
The Mendocino County town of Boonville in the verdant Anderson Valley has its own fascinating story. In fact, it even has its own vocabulary, called Boontling. The Zina Hyde Cunningham Winery has a pretty interesting story as well. The winerys history began in Maine (about as far from Boonville as you can get), then to San Francisco during the Gold Rush then, to Mendocino County after stopovers in Windsor and Kenwood, where winery founder and winemaker Zina Hyde added to his landholdings by buying ranch property. As with many prosperous and respected wineries, the ill-fated Volstead Act, which mandated Prohibition, all but destroyed the winery that had taken decades of hard work and dedication to build. But fast-forward half a century or more, to 2004 when Bill Cunningham, with the encouragement of his cousin Steve Ledson, a prominent winery owner and winemaker in his own right, encouraged him to restore the label that had roots going back nearly 150 years. You can discover the result when you visit the architecturally superb tasting room on the towns main street, across from the Boonville Hotel and near restaurants, cafs and galleries. The tasting menu is comprehensive, to say the least, since the wines that Zina Hyde Cunningham produces include Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Gewrztraminer, Ros, Pinot Noir, Carignane, Zinfandel, Barbera, Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petite Sirah. Many of the bottlings are listed as reserve, and there are also such limited-production dessert wine rarities as a Late Harvest Primitivo Sweet Kerry Port, an Orange Muscat (plus an Orange Muscat Port), and a Russian River Demi Sec Riesling. In fact, most of their wines are made in small lots, which is why many people subscribe to their futures program, to make sure they can get the wines they covet. Luckily, to help you decide, you can go to the tasting room and sample, either indoors at the handsome bar, or out on the front porch, where you can take a bottle (the tasting room folks will open it for you and loan you glasses) and perhaps get something from the charming and delightful market right next door in this period building. There are also picnic tables out back, by the bocce courts, should you be feeling borderline athletic.

Auction Benefiting Young Musicians Features One-Of-A-Kind Charles Krug Guitar

Guitar Crafted from Old Wine Tank Auctioned Online for Napa Valleys Music Connection Program
Charles Krug Winery is auctioning a handcrafted guitar using wood from a 50-year-old wine tank, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting The Music Connection, a program of the Napa Valley Education Foundation. The auction runs through August 31, 2012 at www.charleskrug.com. Affectionately referred to as B.O.B. because it was built with wood at the bottom of the barrel of a 50-plus-year-old redwood fermenting tank from the historic Redwood Cellar on the Charles Krug estate, the guitar is currently on display in the Charles Krug Tasting Room. Bidders may view the one-of-a-kind instrument during regular tasting room hours, and images can be viewed on the Charles Krug web site or at the auction site. Two complimentary tickets to the annual Tastings on the Lawn at Charles Krug Winery are also included in the package. The auction is solely for the benefit of the Music Connection program of the Napa Valley Educational Foundation for children in grades four through twelve. The Music Connection has provided musical instruments and education to students in Napa since 1997. The program serves nearly 3,000 Napa Valley students with nine distinct music education and appreciation programs offered through the Valleys public schools. Information about the foundation is available at www.nvef.org. B.O.B. was designed, crafted and donated by
David Heitzman of the Napa Guitar Company, and a special label on the inside of the guitar is signed by Peter Mondavi Sr. and sons. Everyone connected with the Charles Krug Winery is proud to be able to support this wonderful cause, said Peter Mondavi, Jr., coproprietor of the winery and a longtime supporter of music education in the schools. The winning bidder will officially be announced at the winerys Tastings on the Lawn event, September 8th. The annual event, now in its 61st year, offers food, wine, music and dancing on the great lawn of the historic winery, which was the first commercial winery in Napa Valley. To view photos of the Charles Krug Guitar, place a bid, or learn more about Charles Krug Winery and the Peter Mondavi Sr. Family, visit www.charleskrug.com.

POPE VALLEY WINERY

Along a winding country road, up an unpaved drive and past Gus, a big, friendly, chocolate lab, youll find one of the most unpretentious, down-to-earth tasting rooms around. The Pope Valley, one of the California wine regions hidden treasures, is home to the Pope Valley Winery. This serene, bucolic setting offers a wine tasting experience far, far away from the ostentatious fare to be found at some of the more well-known wine country destinations. Here, you will be treated less like a visitor and more like a friend. To reach the Pope Valley Winery requires a leisurely country drive that is, in itself, a significant part of the experience. Winding through picturesque fields, undulating vineyards and oak-studded hills, one gets the feeling of being transported back in time. The pace here is slower, more peaceful than the flurry and commotion found along the main thoroughfares of the Napa Valley. Photo opportunities present themselves around every bend in the road. A visit to Pope Valley Winery allows wine lovers to step back in time and experience 40 acres of history. The bubbling sounds of Haus Creek can be heard as you roam the grounds of this historic winery. The original farmhouse still graces the property, as well as a blacksmiths workshop, complete with the tools of the trade. The winery itself is housed in a historic building that was designed; before electricity was brought to the site. It was fashioned as a three-story gravitational flow winery with a hand-dug cave, to allow the wine to flow from crusher, to press, to barrel. The Pope Valley Winery was founded in 1897 by Ed Haus as Burgundy Winery & Olive Oil Factory. A century later in 1997, the Eakle family, purchased the historic winery and gave it a new life as Pope Valley Winery. In 2009, the next generation of Eakles stepped in to continue building and furthering the familys vision for Pope Valley Winery as a fine winemaking establishment. Currently siblings David Eakle as winemaker along with consulting winemaker Shaun Richardson and Diana Eakle Hawkins as general manager are making great strides in bringing Pope Valley Winery to the next level. Youll enjoy the drive there, but the true prize comes when you arrive at Pope Valley Winery. This isnt just a pretty place; this is where some truly amazing wine is made. Pope Valley Winery produces high quality, handcrafted single varietal wines. The winerys vineyards include more than 80 acres planted to Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chenin Blanc, Zinfandel and Merlot. The rich, intense and flavorful wines are created by combining superior fruit and oak barrel aging in the century-old cave. Visit Pope Valley Winery and experience more than 100 years of history. The winery has picnic grounds, a bocce ball court and a horse shoe pit for guests enjoyment as well as cheese baskets for sale.

Joseph Pep Katcher, both of whom were born and whose family has deep roots in Jalisco, Mexico. The trio set out to create a uniquely smooth, delicate flavor with a quality refined enough for sipping. The result was 14-time, award-winning CRUZ Tequila, which is made from estate grown 100% pure blue agave from the highlands of the Los Altos region of Jalisco, Mexico. CRUZ Tequila is bottled in hand-numbered artisan blown glass bottles, with an eye-catching solid metal cross on the face of the bottle and metal raised profile cross cap, and is made from 100% recycled glass and aluminum. With the addition of spirits to TFEs impressive wine portfolio, a new division, TNS Brands, has been created to include dedicated spirits sales and marketing resources. TFE will begin limited distribution of CRUZ Silver and Reposado Tequila through its national distribution channels in early August. We are excited to add award-winning CRUZ Tequila to the Trinchero Family Estates portfolio, Bob Torkelson, President and COO of TFE commented.

BALDACCI FAMILY VINEYARDS

BY CHARLES NEAVE
BALDACCI FAMILY VINEYARDS Open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. by appointment (just call). 6236 Silverado Trail, Napa, CA 94558 About ten miles from Napa and five minutes from Yountville (707) 944-9261 | www.baldaccivineyards.com Theyre also on Facebook and Twitter.
If you live in the wine country long enough, youll find out pretty quickly that when friends and friends-of-friends visit, you become a de facto travel guide. To make matters easier I made up a list of wineries that I could print out and keep on hand. For years, Baldacci Family Vineyards on the Silverado Trail has been on the list, and from the comments I have received from everyone whos been there, Baldacci has deserved to be on the list. Having been there recently, it deserves it now more than ever. The winery is the realization of a dream that Tom and Brenda Baldacci had for a long time, one that began to come together with the purchase of this 17-acre property in the Stags Leap district in 1997. From the very beginning, the winery has combined a passion for winemaking with the tradition of family. The winery tasting room is like being in the private wine cellar of a friends home, in this case, a restored Napa farm house with two compact granite-topped tasting bars. It is wine country casual with great attention to detail and charming understatement. The terrace is the same, as is the pathway to the 4,000 square feet of humidity- and naturally temperature-controlled caves carved into the knoll. As you sit outdoors and enjoy their wine, look across the vineyards that are at the core of the winerys estate Cabernet Sauvignon program. These grapes reach their maximum potential and create exceptional tannic structure and concentrated flavors essential elements of their wine. New to the property is their Cellar Reserve Room, with thick stone walls and perfectly set tables for tasting in a venue that is both rustic and refined. A wine that shows the commitment to both family and quality is the IV Sons Cabernet Sauvignon, named for the four Baldacci sons. Then there are the four elements: it is always crafted of Cabernet Sauvignon and a bit of Cabernet Franc, and the wine is aged in French and American oak barrels. The result is a wine filled with fig and black cherry nuances. Other wines wearing the Baldacci label are Pinot Noir and more Cabernet Sauvignon. The Allwin Syrah is another favorite, as is the limited-production Gewrztraminer and a wine that never fails to delight and surprise is their Chardonnay. But then, you need to visit, decide for yourself and, most of all, enjoy every moment of the experience.

WINEMAKER PROFILE
RANDY ULLOM
Overseeing the Entire Kendall-Jackson Portfolio Since 1997
I look at all of the vineyards we own, and all of the individual lots of wines that we make, and the thousands of barrels we have sitting in our cellar and sometimes I think, you gotta be kidding me! After Ive sufficiently recovered from my daily panic attack, I take off my coat, dig in my heels and take it one barrel at a time. Its a rewarding job that I love. RANDY ULLOM
KENDALL JACKSON WINE CENTER Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 5007 Fulton Road, Santa Rosa, CA 95439 (707) 571-8100 | www.kj.com
Randy Ullom found his start to becoming King of Americas most famous Chardonnay brand Kendall-Jackson by way of being a college ski bum in South America. As a college student in Utah, Randy felt set apart first for his preference for wine over beer and second for his wanderlust penchant for skiing. Even though I was studying Mining and Engineering, I mostly majored in skiing. Part way through school, Randy took a leave of absence to ski in Chile. Three months hiatus became three years! Randy felt welcome in early 1970s Chile. Locals befriended him and Randy reveled in Chilean culture, especially enjoying wine each night. Wine at dinner was a staple, explains Randy. There was a white wine glass and a red wine glass at the table every night. The father of a local friend took the time to explain the nuances of grapes, cultivation and wine. Randy may have lived in Chile indefinitely had political instability and a dangerous new regime not sent Randy back to America. Once home, Randy delved into Crop Production with a specialty in Viticulture and Enology at Ohio State. Initially selecting the University to be near family, Randy soon found a home within the thriving regional grape-growing belt surrounding the Great Lakes. After earning his degree in 1975, Randy worked in Ohio and New York before coming to California in 1981 to work the next decade with renowned winemaker Cecil De Loach. Then, Jess came calling. This year, Im wrapping up 19, entering my 20th year here with Jess and family! And legions of American wine lovers can be thankful. Randys astute palate and hard work ethic combine to preserve and expand the wine legacy that is the Kendall-Jackson brand. Men and women across the nation toast each other with Kendall-Jackson wines and it is Randy who we may thank for the nationally distributed Vintners Reserve Chardonnay which is not just Gold Medal wine but also the enological point for wine enthusiasts to begin exploring their own palate and seek even more diversity in their glasses. When people come to taste at Kendall-Jackson, theyll be pleased to find many different tiers of Chardonnay. Indeed, Kendall-Jackson produces distinguished single vineyard, single block, even single clone Chardonnay in California. My palate was quite aligned with Jessand we understood how to make that 200 case, $85 per bottle Chardonnay as well as the larger volume Vintners Reserve that America lovesWe understood the volumetrics, economics and quality aspects for the breadth of wines produced by Jackson Family Wines, explains Randy. Today, visitors to the Tasting Room on Healdsburg Square may select and savor higher end wines from the Grand Reserve, Jackson Hills and Highland Estate tiers as well as the Vintners Reserve wines available in the Fulton Road Tasting Room. Summarizes Randy, Just try our wines. Sip it. And a couple of sips leads to a glass which leads to a bottle, and the rest is history.

Station 1870 is the new wine spot in historic Railroad Square.

Station 1870 is owned by Clay Fritz and boasts eight labels and 22 different wines available by the glass or bottle each night. Illustrious labels such as Lost Canyon, Fritz Estate and Rocca Caselli (Italy) are only a few of the fine wines on hand at Station 1870. Born into an important name in Sonoma wine, Fritz utilizes his legacy in fine wine production to not just serve his namesake wines but also to pour select, limited release labels he has acquired here in California or imported from Italy. Married to an Italian American, Fritz has also honed his palate for Italian produced Prosecco, Brunello and Chianti all of which are available nightly at Station 1870. Want a new, delicious way to wrap up a busy day or enjoy waiting for your table at any of the fantastic restaurants in Railroad Square? Stop in to Station 1870 and start with a very special glass of NV Loriella Prosecco paired with a piece of holy-cow-amazing Salt Side Down Meyer Lemon Infused White Chocolate Truffle. This treat brings out an array of citrus undertones and refreshing brightness in the wine. It is just the right amount of decadence to put a smile on your face! ($8 for the pairing). Be sure to also try the 2010 Vino Valpredo Bianca Mia. A unique blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, this alluring white wine marries a bouquet of white peach, nectarine and key lime with a rich, smooth finish of orange peel and sweet tea leaf ($8 by the glass/$24 by the bottle). Wines are also available by the flight. Selected regularly by wine stewards, each wine flight consists of a 2-oz pour of three or four different wines. This is an ideal way to taste through many wines without having to commit to a full glass. Choose from the White Wine Flight ($8), Pinot Noir Flight ($10) and Red Wine Flight ($12). Subsequently, each wine will also be available for purchase by the full glass or bottle. Whether you come for the great wine or the sexy atmosphere and warm welcome, Station 1870 is a wine bar sure to be a favorite.

Shannon Ridge Family of Wines Opens New Tasting Room

Shannon Ridge Family of Wines has opened a new tasting room in the High Valley Appellation of Lake County. Located on Highway 20 in the town of Clearlake Oaks, the tasting room gives Shannon Ridge Family of Wines greater visibility and access. Our goal is to make the new tasting room a real expression of the agriculture of Lake County, stated Clay Shannon. Of course well have wine tasting, but we also plan to offer our grass-fed lamb, fresh produce, a gourmet deli and a store with fresh-brewed coffee and homemade ice cream. We expect the tasting room to be the go-to place for locals who are shopping for produce or dinner supplies, continued Shannon, and for visitors to Lake County who are looking for a taste of great wine and a gourmet sandwich. The new tasting room is located at 13151 East Highway 20 in Clearlake Oaks and is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (707) 998-9656. The Shannons are committed to preserving their land, not only for the great vineyard sites but also for the bear, elk, mountain lions, eagles and other creatures which live there. Of the approximately 1,400 acres on the ranch, only about 35% have been converted to vineyards. The balance of the land has been preserved for the wildlife which wanders through the property from the expansive wilderness area to the north and east. The vineyards were carefully planned out, leaving corridors open to migrating animals and to protect sensitive nesting areas.

McGrail Vineyards and Winery

BY KIMBERLY HORG-WEBB
Musical Wine by The Singing Winemaker

BY KIMBERLY HORG-WEBB
Wine enthusiasts can admire the breath-taking views of a 16acre Cabernet vineyard sprawled along Greenville Road, perfectly situated on top of a hill in Livermore. McGrail Vineyards and Winery specializes in 100-percent, estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon. McGrail won the Sweepstakes Red Wine Award from the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition this year for its flagship wine, the 2008 McGrail Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve. We farm it to the highest degree for quality. We drop fruit several times throughout the year and we strive for the best fruit possible, said Heather McGrail, McGrail Vineyards and Winery President. The winery ages its wine for 30 months in oak barrels. The extra time in the barrel helps integrate the flavors. They also taste each and every barrel before finalizing its blend which ensures top quality. Jim and Ginger McGrail opened McGrail Vineyards and Winery in 2008 with the help of their daughter, Heather McGrail. The McGrails have been growing grapes for the last 12 years for the Steven Kent Winery. In 2009, they hired Mark Clarin as winemaker and the rest is history. We use the time honored method of producing wine; start with good grapes and dont mess it up, Heather McGrail said. Our winery is all about fun, family and friends. According to her, the Petite Sirah and Chardonnay are other popular selections. The Chardonnay is a California style Chardonnay with fruit notes, oak and butter. The Petite Sirah is grown from the fruit of a family friend and neighbor, Julio Covarrubias. It has blueberry notes, dark fruit and dry tannins. Two wines were released this year, a dry Cabernet Sauvignon Ros and a 2009 Reserve Cabernet that will be released in July. When the tasting room originally opened they poured only one wine, the 2005 Reserve Cabernet, the same recipe but different vintage. Each year, they work at improving this wine while keeping it consistent with previous vintages. Its exciting that three vintages later we have successfully created a wine that receives such high honors, Heather McGrail said. She says besides sampling the award winning wines, guests always have the opportunity to meet someone from the family at the winery on any certain day. The tasting room is open Friday through Monday and by appointment Tuesday through Thursday. They offer private vineyard tours as well as private tastings for groups or events. For more information, call (925) 215-0717 or visit the website at www.mcgrailvineyards.com.
Music and wine lovers can have the both of best worlds by tasting musically inspired wines with live music by the singer/winemaker who goes by the name: The Singing Winemaker (aka Steve Powell). Steves signature wines are his red varietals but he offers every type of wine ranging from Dolcissimo, a musical term meaning very sweetly for a Cabernet Sauvignon blush; a white Scherzando, (musical term for playful) for his, light summer white wine; a tawny Port; a late harvest Zin dessert wine along with peach, raspberry and almond sparkling wines. We focus on red but provide wine for all palates, there is something in the tasting room for everyone, he said. We have great wines and the best wine tasting experience. The Singing Winemaker has not released a new red wine in a year, so this summer he is back in action, releasing six wines. Each will have a release party during the summer with wine and food pairings for guests and of course, music for every age and taste performed by The Singing Winemaker. Many of his wines have musical names including his Harmony blend made with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Old Vine Zinfandel. The Singing Winemakers popular Melody which is a blend of Malbec and Tempranillo is always a crowd pleaser along with another favorite, Amador County Barbera, which is a robust Italian varietal.
