INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER

BY LEN NAPOLITANO
What is tannin?
Wine dryness, which provides palate-like structure for red wine,
comes from tannin, a natural chemical compound of grape skins,
seeds, stems, and oak. Its a key component of red wine and, if
uncontrolled, gives wine harshness and astringency. It can do the
same to wine as it does to a cup of hot tea after it cools down
make it bitter and hard to drink.
The majority of wine tannin is extracted during juice
maceration and fermentation. Naturally, red wine, by virtue of its
longer contact time with grape skins, has significantly more tannin,
that is, dryness, than white wine. A secondary source of tannin
comes from the oak barrels in which wine is aged. Wood tannin
contributed by barrels varies, depending on the type of oak and
toasting temperature.
Tannin also acts as a wine stabilizer, helping it age longer by
protecting aroma and flavor. It enables long-term aging in bottle, a
reason why you dont find as many old white wines as red.
Typically, a cabernet sauvignon will show significantly more of its
dry, firm tannin at two to three years old than it will after it has
aged in the bottle for say, 10 years or longer. In extreme cases, a
newly released cabernet can exhibit so much tannin, it becomes

hard to taste any fruit at all. As wine ages, however, tannin
develops a softer, silk-like texture, lessened by time but not so
much as to lose its capacity to preserve the wines delicate fruit
component.
A red wine is at its peak for consumption when it has reached
an age with perfect balance in tannin structure and fruit
expression. Largely unpredictable to pinpoint, fine wines are
known to take years, sometimes decades, to acquire that magical
balance.

Picking Decisions: Whites

When we think of the components of a finished white wine,
what comes to mind? For me, I think of bouquet, level of
fruitiness, acidity, mouthfeel, presence or absence of oak, and
level of residual sweetness. With this list of components at hand,
every wine can be reverse-engineered in terms of series of
decisions made with those end goals in mind. This is why the
truism, Everything we do or do not do has an effect on the final
wine is, indeed, a truism, not a clich. We say it to ourselves as
a reminder at every stage of the process so as not to get lazy or
take for granted each and every step of winemaking.
When we start to make picking decisions, there seem to be
lots of variables, like variety, Brix (sugar) levels, maturity for
depth of flavor and color, upcoming weather, etc., but I start
with the processing in mind: is this going into steel or oak or
something else like concrete or food-grade plastic? Why start
there amongst all the other angles into picking? Because of what
is trying to be emphasized based on the fermentation vessel. If
we are using steel or another non-wood tank, then we are
seeking to preserve aroma, keep higher acids, and develop a
more citrusy, grassy, or minerally final wine. Think of an all-steel
Chardonnay, a Sauvignon Blanc, or a Pinot Gris and youll get
the idea of why we pick earlier and are less concerned about
what is developing on the skins: skin contact is going to be as
minimal as possible, generally, and the wines are going to be
kept away from oxygen and produced through low temperatures
to preserve freshness.
If, however, we are seeking to give extended skin contact ala
orange wines or extended lees and oak contact to impart body
and fullness (think oaky, buttery Chardonnay, for example), then
we are going to pick at different ripenesses, at different Brix, and
after longer hanging as the results we are looking for in the

10
grapes come about only through those decisions. Then, because

we want that contact continued through fermentation and
beyond, oak is usually used in some form to add depth and
body as well as help to start or nurture secondary, malolactic
fermentation because those bacteria are resident in oak, and thus
produce a transformation of citrus notes into apple, pear, peach,
and other tropical fruits in the finished wine.
If an oak influence on aroma and a hint on the tongue are
desired without any creaminess, juice separated from the lees via
racking from vessel to vessel, ala a gravy strainer, will be paired
with oak adjuncts of any number of kinds, which allow for quite
exact recipes based on volumes and hours or days of exposure.
Conversely, if a strong mouthfeel of time in contact with lees and
oak are desired, the juice and lees together go into oak barrels,
and length of time, stirring the lees, and toasting level of the oak
all have an impact on the final wine.
Residual sugar is actually something which is easy to control
if the winemaking is detail-oriented. Fermentation is never the
same twice, but each and every one can and must be tracked for
temperature, yeast health, amounts and kinds of nutrients, Brix
and alcohol, and other leading indicators of how well and how
fast the conversion of sugars to alcohols and malic to lactic acid,
if applicable, is happening. Arresting the fermentation, pulling
the emergency break, if you will, is generally done through
shutting down the temperature and adding enough sulfites to
knock out the yeast. Its more of a coast than a dead stop, but
attention to the numbers and experience usually produce
desired results.
Fine winemaking is very much akin to fine cooking and
baking, so its no wonder the two go hand in hand in wine
country. We strive through our winegrowing, like the chef who
grows and raises her own flora and flauna, to produce fantastic
ingredients for which we have recipes developed through
education, time in others cellars, and experience. The next time
you sip a white, think about what decisions were or were not
made, and consider, too, what you would have done the same or
differently had the recipe been yours to tweak. Enjoy!

As you are driving on the 101, nestled right between the cities of Arroyo Grande and
Nipomo, you cannot help but notice a pristine vineyard to the east. This gorgeous piece of
land was first planted with grapes in 1982 and is now the source of sustainably-produced
wines that are not only finely crafted from start to finish, but are considered among the
highest quality wines in California.
Owner Selim Zilkha has many passions in life including renewable energy solutions and
sustainable wine operations, but one of his greatest joys is harvest and it is a good thing it
is because Laetitia has one of the longest harvests on the Central Coast stretching a span of
three months, sometimes longer.
The process begins in early August with the harvest of Pinot Noir grapes destined for
sparkling wine from the estate vineyard and Laetitias winemaking vision begins to come to
life a vision that is considered one artistic process from vine to glass, no phase, person,
grape or bottle stands alone. Harvest does not concluded until Syrah is carefully picked at
the end of October/beginning of November from their Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard.
Seeded deeply in this process is the passion for sustainability, a concept rooted in every
aspect of the estate including everything and everyone it touches. From vines to employees
to community, Laetitia aims to ensure longevity for all the places we live, work and play
here on the beautiful Central Coast. Being consciously aware that their vineyard
management and winemaking processes impact all that surrounds them, Laetitia took

AUGUST 2014
WINE COUNTRY THIS MONTH | WINE COUNTRY NEWS
steps early on to preserve the land and community for future

generations which is why its vineyards were honored as two of the
first SIP Certified vineyards by the Central Coast Vineyard Team.
Vice President Vineyard Operations Lino Bozzano is a vital piece
of these sustainable farming practices and Laetitias winemaking
vision. He has proudly accepted the task of fulfilling the first stages of
the winemaking process since 2004. He shares a strict unity of
purpose with winemakers Eric Hickey and Dave Hickey allowing
him to strategically farm according to their distinct winemaking
styles while taking care that each block of Pinot Noir and
Chardonnay reflects the site in which it is planted.
Additionally, Bozzanos vast knowledge of the 620 acre vineyard
has come from his ability to gain the perfect understanding of each
and every row of vines and the diverse growing situations the land
provides for each of the seven grape varieties including ten clones
of Pinot Noir.
All harvest on the estate vineyard occurs at night under portable
stadium lights in order to take advantage of the cool nighttime air. It
is the best environment for the fruit as it embarks on its journey to
become wine. Bozzano spoke of when management first started this
process and how apologetic they were for having nightly shifts for
harvest, but everyone involved soon realized that the cool picking
conditions was greatly preferred to the daytime sun which not only
brought aggravating heat, but other inconveniences such as an
abundance of bees. The process is a win-win for all the people and all
the grapes involved.
Anyone who gets to see the lights of Laetitias harvest while
driving the 101 at night will be amazed by the beautiful sight and
take joy in the fact that great wine is on its way.
Visit Laetitia and experience its beauty for yourself complete with
picnic areas, bocce ball courts, a walking trail and ocean views.

THE WINERY
RESTAURANT
Twenty-Four Wineries, One Avantastic Restaurant

BY MICHAEL CERVIN
Open daily 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The Santa Ynez Valley in Santa Barbara wine country is erupting with
new wineries both large and small. There are over 200 wineries providing a
wide diversity of wines and styles and many dont have their own tasting
room. Thats where Terravant The Winery Restaurant comes in. Located
just off Highway 101 in Buellton, Avant is virtually everything you need to
understand Santa Barbara food and wine under one roof.
Avant is a unique place; part restaurant, part wine tasting room and part
winemaking collaborative, so it is an ideal spot for a full meal, a light snack,
a taste of diverse wines or even a full bottle. We offer 52 wines, and over
80 bottles and our guests can choose a taste (one ounce), a half glass (three
ounces) or a full glass (six ounces), says proprietor Joe Padilla. Many of the
wines located on their Wine Wall which extends the length of the
restaurant are rotated weekly so theres always something new to sample.
The majority of these wines are made below the tasting room in the
Terravant Wine Company, a custom crush facility which you can see from
the second story restaurant window. There are about 25 local, small
wineries who make their wine here. The Wine Wall selection allows you to
sample through whites like Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier and Chardonnay, to
deep reds of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir, to even a few
dessert wines. This way you can check out a breadth of Santa Barbara wines
without the expense and time of visiting multiple tasting rooms.
Wine of course needs food and you will find plenty of flavorful choices
like apple wood smoked bacon wrapped dates with goat cheese drizzled
with balsamic reduction, lobster rolls and sliders. And, the best part is, you
can easily find a wine to pair with whatever food is on your plate. You
might also consider their value oriented Happy Hour which is held
0814CC_031805 7/25/14 8:52 AM Page 21
AUGUST 2014
Monday through Friday from 3:00

to 5:00 p.m. You will find
30% discounts off the Wine Wall
wines, 50% off beers by the bottle,
a special tapas menu and 10%
discounts when you purchase a
half-case of wine.
The most exciting part however
is the new Blending Bar whereby
you can custom create your own
wine out of four red varieties
including Sangiovese, Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot and Petite Sirah
to make the wine you want. Then
have it custom labeled and you can
drink it there with food from the
menu, or take your wine home to
share with your friends and family,
or give a bottle as a gift. There are
various options with the Blending
Bar including paying a little more
to have a winemakers suggestion
as you blend together, and group
parties but whatever you choose,
the chance to create your own
wine should not be missed. There
are tours of the Terravant facility
offered at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. and
reservations are required since you
will be sampling wines not yet
bottled and you might run into a
winemaker on the production
floor.

CINQUE STELLE
BY BETHANY RHINE
In 2006, the Crist family started their venture into winemaking by beginning to farm
their now-pristine estate vineyard located in Santa Ynez, which resulted in their first wine
vintage in 2009.
The Crist family is certainly admirable as they embrace the true meaning of a family
owned and operated winery. The passion, determination and unity shared by each family
member creates fine wines that hold true to the concept of love and family. In fact, the
name Cinque Stelle (cheen-kweh stell-lay) is Italian for five star and each star holds a
very special meaning as they represent the individual members of the Crist family and
their unique contributions and undeniable value in each step of the winemaking process.
Harvest is considered the most exciting time of the year at Cinque Stelle because as the
grapes come off the vines, the extraordinary transformation into fine wines begins.
Winemaker Matthew Crist focuses on producing only small-lot, premium wines
principally sourced from their estate vineyard and strategically made to optimize each
varietals unique characteristics. The vineyard yields limited quantities of ultra-premium
fruit specializing in Italian and Spanish varietals such as Pinot Grigio, Albarino and
Tempranillo. Matthew then makes all of the wines in oak barrels which gives their white
wines truly unique flavor profiles.
Ready for a taste? Visit Natalie Crist at Cinque Stelles tasting room located in the quaint
downtown of Los Olivos where the charming California community has embraced the
family winery since they opened their doors in town just two years ago. In addition to fine
wine, the Los Olivos location has a womens boutique graced with fine clothing and
accessories. You wont be able to resist its European flair and comfortable atmosphere that
warmly invites you to sip on a glass of Pinot Grigio as you browse the fine selection of
jewelry and unique gifts.
Open Thursday through Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

CAMBRIA ESTATE WINERY

The Destination for Single Clone Pinot Noir
MELISSA VOGT
At Cambria Estate Winery, located just seventeen

miles off the coast of the Pacific Ocean in the Santa
Maria Bench region, Winemaker Denise Shurtleff
specializes in producing excellent single clone Pinot
Noir. Each of the single clones are grown on the
Cambria estate, then fermented, aged and bottled at
the wineryalso located on the estate. This wonderful
family owned, sustainably farmed winery focuses on
single clone Pinot Noirs because they want the wines
to really show the distinctions in the overall flavor
profile of each of the individual clones, says
Winemaker Denise Shurtleff.
In 1970, Cambria Estate Winery began growing
and producing the Pommard Clone 4, and then again
in 1990, the winery planted more of this clone. It
wasnt until 1996 that the winery expanded their Pinot
Noir clone production by planting clones 115, 2A and
23. In an attempt to learn about the characters and
the wine styles of the new clones, we fermented and
aged the clones separately, Shurtleff states. The wines
Open daily from 10:00am-5:00pm
were then carefully evaluated during the various stages
5475 Chardonnay Lane, Santa Maria, CA 93454 of the winemaking process to fully understand the
(805) 938-7318 | info@cambriawines.com aromas, flavors and overall wine style, which
www.cambriawines.com
Shurtleff says they found to be distinctly different
between the clones.
Shurtleff barrel fermented small portions of clones
115, 2A and 23 in new French oak in 1999. The
wines were then aged in the same barrels for ten
months, she states. Shurtleff felt the way the new
French oak integrated well into the wine and after

experimenting with different barrel coopers and
barrel toast, the winery owners gave her the go ahead
to expand the project from 20 to 300 barrels in 2000.
Since then, Shurtleff has tried to perfect it more each
year, she says, and it certainly shows in the fantastic
Clonal Pinot Noir Flight offered in the tasting room.
The current Clonal Pinot Noir Flight consists of five
different single clone Pinot Noirs from the 2011
vintage. Each clone has its own unique flavor profile
and body. The clone 115 boasts bright blueberry, dark
cherry and watermelon fruit notes, while clone 2A has
brighter notes of ripe cherry and strawberry with
baking spice flavors. Sweet vanilla and cinnamon
abound in clone 4 with fresh notes of cherry and
pomegranate, but clone 23 is dark and broody with
blackberry and blueberry fruit on the palate, accented
by spicy oak and mocha. The final Pinot Noir of the
flight is clone 667dark ruby red in color with notes
of smoke and earth alongside blueberry.
In addition to the Clonal Pinot Noir Flight,
Cambria Estate Winery offers an Estate Flighttwo
whites and three redsavailable for $10.
Cambria Estate Winerys tasting room is located on
their beautiful estate in Santa Maria, and is open daily
from 10am-5pm. The Clonal Pinot Noir Flight is $20
per person and is offered daily. Enjoy the flight in the
tasting room or on the patio, overlooking the
vineyards. They even have a pantry stocked with
gourmet cheese and artisanal food products to
purchase and pair with their wonderful wines.

Wine Tasting in
ts no wonder the people here

call it SLO. No one is in any hurry
in the cafs or on the sidewalks, and
certainly no one is in any rush to
leave. Strangers are genuinely
friendly, always ready to talk about
their favorite hiking trail or
barbecue joint, or to point the way
to the winery with the best Pinot
Noir. Its all part of the SLO life, that
combination of good stuff that
makes visiting here so nourishing to
the soul.
San Luis Obispos unusual natural

beauty, along with its gentle climate,
first attracted the Spanish padres to
the area in the 1700s. In 1772 they
built the fifth of Californias 21
missions here, on the banks of San
Luis Creek, and named it Mission
San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. Today,
many consider this the most beautiful of the Spanish missions.
More than 200 wineries produce
critically acclaimed vintages in
Paso Robles, Edna Valley and
Arroyo Grande Valley. Visitors can
head out along the gorgeous
country roads to sip their way
through the vineyards.

Salon Roux Celebrates its Fifth Anniversary

with a Special Benefit Concert
Salon Roux, Paso Robles premiere full-service salon and spa
located in the heart of wine country, announces a special benefit
concert to celebrate its fifth anniversary featuring singer-songwriter,
A.J. Croce, with special guests, The Janks, to benefit Studios on the
Parks "Kids Art Smart" program. Presented under the stars at Castoro
Cellars Winery, the concert will be held Saturday, August 23. The
evening begins at 6:30 p.m. Croce, son of legendary singersongwriter Jim Croce, began his career at age 18 opening for B.B.
King, and has since spanned genres from jazz to Americana to blues
to pop. He has been seen and heard on national television including
Jay Leno, David Letterman and MTV, and received glowing press
from The Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone and People Magazine.
Croces eighth studio album, Twelve Tales, was released by Compass
Records and recorded with six legendary producers including: Allen
Toussaint (Dr. John, Eric Clapton); the late Cowboy Jack Clement
(Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash); Mitchell Froom (Crowded House, Los
Lobos); Tony Berg (Fiona Apple, Bob Dylan); Kevin Killen (Elvis
Costello, Peter Gabriel), and Greg Cohen (Tom Waits, John Zorn).
Additionally, Twelve Tales includes a song Croce wrote with
legendary songwriter and musician, Leon Russell. Croces last
performance in Paso Robles was in support of Jon Anderson of YES.
Hes received stellar reviews including a sentiment by Willie Nelson
who said The future of entertainment is in good hands. Salon Roux
Proprietor and Concert Coordinator, Jacque Leonard, calls Croces
music, jaw-droppingly, amazingly great. Salon Roux holds a party
every year to celebrate our anniversary, said Leonard. For our fifth
year, though, I wanted to do something that gives back to our
community that has supported us. The Kids Art Smart program
brings children to Studios on the Park to paint, draw and get
creative, Monday through Friday. I know that if I hadnt been in art
classes through school, I wouldnt be where I am today. Our goal is to
raise enough support for Kids Art Smart through this benefit
concert to cover their costs for the coming school year. Kids Art
Smart brings local elementary students to Studios on the Park in
Paso Robles, directly utilizing the artists studio setting for unique art
education studying and creating works of art in mediums such as
ceramics, collage, oil pastels, printmaking and watercolor. Since
2011, more than 4,000 public elementary students have visited
Studios on the Park for hands-on professional art classes completely
free of charge and during school hours. Ordinarily these students (47
percent of whom are considered low-income and at-risk) receive no
formal arts education. Individual tickets to the benefit concert are
$50 each. VIP tables include wine and dinner, and are $250 for two
people, $500 for four people and $750 for six people. Tickets are
available for purchase at Salon Roux by calling (805) 239-9499 or by
emailing info@salonroux.com. Additionally, Thomas Hill Organics
28
Bistro will be serving a dinner consisting of Paella accompanied by

organic mixed greens, roasted seasonal vegetable and date flan
tartlets for $15. Castoro Cellars wine will also be available for
purchase. The Salon Roux Fifth Anniversary Benefit Concert is
sponsored by Tim Montgomery, First Solar, Mystic Hills Vineyard,
Gayle Force Design, Parker Sanpei and Krush radio. Updates for the
event can be seen at: www.salonroux.com/concert.
About Salon Roux
With its serene and nurturing ambiance, Salon Roux in Paso
Robles offers a full menu of hair and spa services featuring a boutique
of high-end beauty brands such as Kerastase, Bumble & Bumble,
Jane Iredale, minence Organic Skin Care, and Royal Apothic, as
well as an exquisite collection of unique fashion gifts and accessories.
Launched in March of 2009 by Proprietor, Jacque Leonard, Salon

County in Battle of the Salons, and was later honored by the
prestigious Salon Today Magazine as one of the Top 200 Salons in

The Little Rascal Wins Big in Two Competitions

Burbank Ranch Winery recently received gold medals for its 2013
Little Rascal Arneis from two prestigious competitions: the 2014
Orange County Fair Commercial Wine Competition and the 2014
Central Coast Wine Competition, Five County Fairs.
Despite its floral aromatics and appealingly full body, Arneis is a
white wine that is too rarely found in New World winemaking. In fact,
Burbank Ranch is one of only two known producers of Arneis in the
Paso Robles American Viticulture Area (AVA).
Arneis is called a little rascal in Italys Piedmont region for being
challenging to grow, said Fred Burbank, proprietor of Burbank
Ranch. In Paso Robles, however, Arneis grows like a weed. Its
surprising that we dont see more of it here, considering how well it
does in this climate and what a terrific wine it produces.
Typically a medium- to full-bodied white wine, Arneis is upstaged
by Piedmonts more famous red wines, namely Barolo. But many
consumers dont realize that a small portion of Arneis has historically
been used to soften the tannins and concentration of Nebbiolo grapes
in Barolo, much like Viognier seasons Syrah in traditional Cte-Rtie
wines from the Northern Rhne. Since the 1990s, varietal Arneis has
gained a following for its often gregarious aromas of ripe pear and
white blossoms, plush texture and generous weight.
Grapes for the 2013 Burbank Ranch Arneis were harvested from
the estate early, in September, and fermented in stainless steel to
preserve focus and acidity. The result is a dry, full-bodied white wine
with aromas and flavors of bright pear, apple, honeysuckle and white
peach, with a structured, mineral finish.

A perfect transition wine between seasons, Arneis pairs well with a
wide variety of dishes, including, notably, the cheese plate at Burbank
Ranch Bistro in downtown Paso Robles. The Little Rascal Arneis
would also beautifully complement a simple pasta with butter and
fine white truffle shavings or any number of delicate seafood dishes.

Paso Robles is 46 at Vineyard Drive. The Southwest corner is home
to Donati Family Vineyards tasting room and winery. The family
part of the name is not just a marketing term, Ron Donati purchased
a piece of property to develop a vineyard with his son, and they still
manage the property together. Today, Tracy Donati was behind the
bar and her son was mowing the lawn outside. The Donatis moved
in to the European Chateau-esq building in 2007, after making wine
from the family vineyard in Paicines since 2002. Paicines is located
just east of Hollister, and is the 9th oldest AVA in California. Several
varieties are grown on the estate, including Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc,
Grenache, Syrah and several Bordeaux grapes. The vineyard was
planted in 1998 as a grape selling operation, but after a few years of
selling all of the fruit, Ron Donati caught the wine bug. Select grapes
are harvested in Paicines and delivered directly to the winery in
Templeton.
Another DV, Denise Valoff, has been making the Donati family
wines since 2007 and oversees all of the operation at the winery.
Denise produces a lovely selection wines from the vineyard, which
show exceptional varietal characteristics. The wines can be sampled
at the tasting room daily, normally from 10:00am-4:45pm. Offered
everyday is a standard tasting of 5-6 wines for $10, with each of the
wines available by the glass for $10 as well! On the weekends, the
Reserve tasting is also served, and includes some of the more
exclusive wines for $15 per tasting. These wines are available by the
glass as well, for $15 per glass.
The 2013 Pinot Blanc has notes of white peach and lime zest.
The 2011 Merlot is a well-balanced, earth-driven, medium bodied
red, exactly as Merlot should be! The Cabernet Franc is a favorite,
with the recently bottled 2012 vintage releasing in the coming
weeks! A local favorite is the Naughty Red which is quite literally
wine in a jug. The everyday wine is totally tasty, and a steal of a deal
at $35 for the equivalent of 2.5 bottles. In addition to the expansive
selection of dry wines, a small selection of dessert wine is produced.

The 2010 Late Harvest Pinot Blanc is noteworthy, and would be
fantastic with vanilla bean ice cream.
The area surrounding the tasting room includes a paved parking
lot, sprawling lawns and bocce ball courts, all accentuated by
neighboring vineyards and the mountain and valley views. Inside,
the L-shaped bar can host several groups. A wall is dedicated to the
history of the Donati family, illustrating the family lineage and each
of the working parts. Adjoining the tasting room is a wine club
lounge, which overlooks the production facility. Paesano members
are welcome to enjoy their wines in this luxe, exclusive, sitting area.
The Paesano club is named for the Donatis ancestors, Italian
countrymen, and offers several different options and Paesano
benefits. To taste a little something different while tasting in Paso
Robles, stop by Donati Family Vineyards at 2720 Oak View Road in
Templeton to experience wines from the Paicines AVA. The tasting
room is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For more
information, visit donatifamilyvineyard.com or call 1-877-511WINE.

Baileyana Boldly Rolls Out New Packaging
Open daily 10am-5pm

4915 Orcutt Road, San Luis Obispo
(805) 597-8200
www.nivenfamilywines.com
34
The Niven family, pioneers of the Edna Valley AVA, known for building their business by successfully creating
innovative and timely projects, has announced a revolutionary change in the look of their Baileyana wines. A
daring move, from a cream-colored Old World influenced text-driven label, to a decidedly New World imagebased design. Founded over 30 years ago by Catharine Niven, Baileyana's estate Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs
have played an integral role in the history and heritage of the Edna Valley.
Created by Sarah Berger of Makers & Allies, the new artwork is an abstract impression of a Baileyana Acacia
tree blossom. Artfully printed by TAPP Label Technologies, with sculpted gold emboss on a black background, it
beautifully redefines the brand, and well represents the quality of the wine in the bottle.
"We have of course made tweaks over the years," says John H. Niven. "The label has served us well no doubt,
but as we continually look at every aspect of our brands, and consider the choices presented to our consumer, it
became apparent that the opportunity existed to make much more of an impact with Baileyana. This new
package perfectly supports our efforts to relate the personality of each of our brands directly to the consumer."
Everything inside the bottle remains the same - Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grown exclusively in the
Firepeak blocks on the Niven's estate SIP Certified vineyard in the Edna Valley, and made by Burgundian-born
veteran winemaker Christian Roguenant. The wines are distributed nationally and will hit shelves soon, as
shipping of the first vintage (2013) in the new package just began.
NFWE is a true family wine company - Jack Niven pioneered winegrape planting in the Edna Valley in the
early 70s, and the second and third generations of his family currently manage the business together. They
believe in sustainability, quality, community, innovation, tradition when warranted, and keeping consumers
interested in the ever-changing world of wine. Recognizing the diversity of their SIP Certified Sustainable estate in
the cool-climate Edna Valley, they make an extreme range of wines in a wide array of carefully focused styles. No
other wine company, whether corporately held or family owned, grows grapes and makes wines of such
diversity from a single cool-climate estate. Rather than group all of these efforts under one wine brand, the
Nivens have strategically positioned them as six separate projects: Baileyana, True Myth, Tangent, Zocker, Trenza
and Cadre.

he hit motion picture, Sideways, put the Santa Maria
Valley viticultural appellation,
including the Foxen Canyon Wine

Trail, on the map in 2004.
Following the picturesque winding

roads of Tepesquet and Foxen
Canyon will lead you to world-
class wineries by way of sprawling

vineyards and rolling hills. In the
more northern region of the
appellation, Chardonnay and Pinot

Noir reign due to the maritime
climate. This ensures a long
Wine Tasting in
temperate growing season which
the Burgundian varietals crave. In
the southern region of the appellation, the trail moves a bit east
resulting in hotter days and cooler

nights. Bordeaux and Rhone vari-
eties flourish in this more extreme

climate. The wineries in this
region boast a concentration of
Californias most well known winemakers; join them year round in
the tasting rooms or at the many

weekend events.

Zotovich Estate
Vineyard & Winery
Zotovich Estate Vineyard & Winery may be a small, family-run
entity, but its handcrafted wines produce big results. Wine critic
Stephen Tanzer gave Zotovichs 2011 Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and
Syrah a high rating each receiving 92 points.
The road to success wasnt easy, however. Steve Zotovich said that
he didnt walk into a ready-made and profitable vineyard. When he
first bought the vineyard in 2004, it needed a lot of work. The weeds
in the vineyard were taller than the vines, he said. He removed a
grove of Eucalyptus, and made many other improvements. We
started out grassroots to get to where we are today, Zotovich said.
He credits his nephew, winemaker Ryan Zotovich, with
emphasizing the production of serious wines. Ryan created a team
when he joined Zotovich in 2010 with a focus on experimenting and
producing distinctive wines. Stephen Tanzer ratings of Zotovich wines
show that others find their varietals noteworthy.
Zotovichs tasting room is distinctive as well. It is located directly
across from the Lompoc Wine Ghetto, in the Santa Rita Hills Wine
Center. While the word ghetto is usually associated with negative
connotations, wine connoisseurs know that this industrial section of
the city is a hidden gem. Visitors can try wines from a variety of
different vineyards without getting in their car.
In January, Zotovich Estate Vineyard & Winery is going to hold its
5th Annual Release Party. Zotovich said he is expecting about 200
people to attend the event. It is going to be held January 24th and
includes wine tasting, dinner and a chance to socialize with family and
friends. Contact Zotovich for more information.
The Zotovich tasting room is located at 300 North 12th Street,
Suite 1D, Lompoc. The tasting room is open Friday-Sunday from
10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., or by appointment. For more information,
call (805) 736-1600 or email Roxanne@zotovichcellars.com.

Scott Cellars
Creating a Sangiovese House: Scott Cellars Foray into Uncharted Territory

SUBMITTED
Scott Cellars did not set out to become a Sangiovese house, it just
happened. It was more of an evolution. Owner and winemaker Peter
Scott Fraser started making the usual Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah
etc. However, in 2007 his wife Jennifer suggested Sangiovese after his
Italian heritage. With that first vintage, it became obvious that Fraser
had a knack for the challenging varietal. One vineyard slowly
expanded to six and now the hunt is on to find more and better
vineyards. In 2012, Fraser decided to devote his winery to crafting
great Sangiovese from California.
Fraser quickly discovered how difficult it was to grow Sangiovese
well. In many respects, Fraser extols, It is just as challenging to grow
and make as Pinot Noir. It is a thin skin, finicky grape that growers
tend to put in overly hot climates. Through his close work with the
varietal, Fraser has discovered that it shows tremendous character
variation from vineyard to vineyard. This led him to name his wines
after the soil and not the vineyard. I name these wines after the
predominant soil characteristic of the vineyard, not the owners name.
Sand Dune, West Slope, Rolling Loam and Flatlands all refer to the
distinct vineyards used to create both vineyard designate wines and
Reserve style blends. As each vineyard brings its own voice to the
wine, solo and a capella versions
are created using individual
components to create wines of

SANTA MARIA VALLEY
Welcome to
Costa De Oro Winery
Costa de Oro Tasting Room & Marketplace is located right off of

Highway 101 in Santa Maria. This site pays tribute to the history
behind Costa De Oro - it was the strawberry stand for Gold Coast
Farms, the parent company of Costa De Oro, which has been farming
Santa Maria since 1978. Gold Coast Vineyard was planted to 20
acres of Pinot Noir and 10 acres of Chardonnay in 1989, and these
grapes were sold to the areas best wineries including Au Bon
Climat. Gary Burk, Costa de Oro co-owner & winemaker, was
fortunate to work in the winery with Jim Clendenen, from 19942002, and during this time he began to make his own wine. Gary
started with just one barrel of Chardonnay and one barrel of Pinot.
Today, Costa de Oro produces over 6000 cases featuring Chardonnay
& Pinot Noir from the estate Gold Coast Vineyard. The best place
to experience the wines is at the Tasting Room and Marketplace,
where guests can taste five wines for only $10. In addition to regular
tasting room hours (normally 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily), each
Friday evening, Costa de Oro hosts Friday Night Wine Downs
featuring live music from local musicians and $12 dinner plates
prepared by Chef Rick! Another facet to the Costa de Oro portfolio is
their Wine on Tap. Kegged wine, wine stored and shipped inside
five gallon kegs instead of bottles, has been gaining popularity

throughout the past several years. Costa de Oro started kegging wine
for high-end accounts, like Roys Hawaii. Now these wines, a white
and a red are available in the tasting room by the glass and by the
growler (these can be refilled). Costa de Oro Wine Club members
receive discounts on keg wines, bottled wines and complimentary
tastings.

Bell Street Farm

Bell Street Farm is a distinct eatery and market in the heart of wine
country in historic Los Alamos. An ideal destination for residents and
visitors alike, the country chic setting offers a warm and inviting
atmosphere to enjoy a meal, snack or sample local wines.
I work with local artisans, food purveyors, winemakers and
farmers to create a distinct dining and retail experience at Bell Street
Farm, says Jamie Gluck, owner of Bell Street Farm. The space is an
expression of my lifelong passion for fine foods and we use only the
freshest ingredients found along the California Coast.
The eatery was designed to reflect elements found from the
original 1916 building with a modern charm. Gluck scoured the
area to find materials and design elements that would work with the
design. He works with local artisans like woodcrafter Richard Motz
to create chopping blocks and cheese boards as well as Ramona
Clayton of nearby Terrmonary to custom-create all of the ceramic
serving dishes used for serving olives, salads and cheeses.
Bell Street Farms menu offerings include sandwiches with locally
made breads and California cheeses, farm fresh salads with
vegetables and greens from local farms, rotisserie Huntsinger freerange chicken, unique salads and house-made cookies, pot de
cremes and sweets.
All retail offerings are carefully selected to reflect the local area
experience and include picnic baskets, aprons and assorted kitchen
items, luxurious hand and body products, as well as culinary themed
gifts. Bell Street Farm also offers custom designed picnic baskets for
groups of two people to 200.
Located in the heart of Downtown Los Alamos, Bell Street Farm is
just 45 minutes north of Santa Barbara and 75 miles from Paso
Robles. The eatery and market is open Friday and Saturday 11:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Sunday and Monday 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
and offers seating for guests to enjoy a meal, snack or glass of wine as
well as an open-air patio.

Wine Tasting in
The Foxen Canyon Wine Trail A Road of Definition

BY MICHAEL CERVIN
Every wine region has that one specific place, an area that clearly
defines the whole of the region in terms of how it best expresses
and interprets the wine. In Santa Barbara County that wine region is
Foxen Canyon. The Foxen Canyon Wine Trail is home to 15 tasting
rooms along its languid path, all of which are flanked by row upon
row of vineyards, which is one of the reasons people flock here, to
get the full wine country experience.
But unlike other wine trails, Foxen Canyon is still agriculture
driven. You wont find any stores, gas stations, restaurants or
shopping. What you will find are bucolic lazy roads which undulate
into flat valleys and ascends to hilltops where the views of open land,
roaming cattle, quail and turkey vultures, verdant vineyards, mature
oak trees and blue skies beckon; a postcard to the past of what
California used to be like. The beans and barley plantings of older
times have been replaced by grapevines but there are still pockets of
bell peppers and other row crops along this country road.
The Foxen Canyon area seems unremarkable in terms of its
diversity however this 30 mile long road shows various micoclimates and topography along the way, and there is a stunning
array represented here. The multitude of wineries have planted a
bevy of grapes including Grenache, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah,
Cabernet Sauvignon and Viognier.
ntry
The south of the trail, closer to the tasting room hotbed of Los
Olivos, is dominated by full bodied Rhone style wines where the
inland climate is much warmer and where you will find Syrah,
Grenache and Viognier and some of the first Santa Barbara plantings
of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah in the early 1970s. In the
northern part of the canyon, leading towards Santa Maria, the
Burgundian styles are more readily available, where the cooler
maritime influence creates a climate perfect for Pinot Noir and
Chardonnay. And often you can see the clouds from the beach just
10 miles away. This is however, California, and that means a greater
cornucopia of other varietals such as Sauvignon Blanc, Negrette,
Sylvaner, Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc which can also be found
on the tasting lists showcasing the assortment of grapes that thrive
here.
Most of the wineries have picnic areas; some large and open and
some small and secluded you just need to take your pick. When
visiting the trail its advisable to bring water with you and food as
there are no restaurants and many of the wineries are spread out. By
visiting this unique wine trail youll get in touch with the
exceptional wines of Santa Barbara and at the same time, step back
into historic California.

RACHEL HOMMEL
SAN MARCOS PASS RD
FIGUEROA MTN
J Ludlow Vineyard, up in the idyllic Los Olivos area, is the home

away from home for owners Allan and Jane Jones. Originally from
Cardiff, Wales, the couple fell in love with the Santa Ynez Valley
during one of their many trips to California. Stumbling upon a
beautiful ranch in Happy Canyon, they quickly developed an interest
in wine, purchasing Westerly Stud Farm in 2007. Keeping
production small, their dedication to their craft is evident by their
numerous awards and recent accolades.
Their Los Olivos tasting room, opened April 2014, is a new player
in the area, producing delightful and memorable wines unique to the
Los Olivos region. With high ceilings, big windows, and a welcoming
atmosphere, it is the perfect place to grab a glass of their awardwinning wine. Sourcing most of their grapes from Camp 4 and La
Presa Vineyards in the Valley, the winery strives to keep things local and
family-run, dedicated to great taste and a sheer enjoyment of wine.
In the near future, J Ludlow plans to plant more than 80 acres of

their grapes, focusing predominately on Bordeaux varietals of Merlot,

Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. When choosing varietals,
they wanted wines that would highlight varietals uncommon to the
region, while sharing their passion for French wines. Though the
couples background is in coffee production, they have successfully
transformed a new agricultural product blending their taste and
passion for the region.
Family ties inspire each varietal, including their wine club aptly
entitled The Old Ludlowdian. One of their most popular sellers,
Kemsley Cabernet Sauvignon is named after Allan, who holds the
prestigious title of Lord Kemsley in Great Britain. The winery itself is
named after the street Allan was born on. And of course, the 2008
Jane Merlot, a gold medal winner at the Los Angeles International
Wine Competition, is named after his beloved wife. Other unique
wine club highlights include a Pinot Grigio and Primitivo Rose,
perfect for any summer picnic.
Heavily involved in charity, the Jigsaw logo signifies their
commitment to fighting autism and Aspergers worldwide (a common
symbol in healthcare and popular culture). In their native country,
Allan and Jane Jones own Beechwood College, a specialist residential
college for students dealing with these very conditions. In the near
future, the winery hopes to partner with local charities, donating
proceeds from their sales to benefit the community (and our palate).
Come see why Robert Parker, Jr. said...

Production is small, but these wines
are well worth seeking out!

Zinke Wine Co.
Zinke Wine Co. is the realization of a dream between husband

and wife, Michael and Ashley Zinke. They specialize in single
vineyard, Rhne varietal wines, sourced from the Central Coast.
While influenced by tradition, we are paving our own path in
the vineyard and the cellar in pursuit of the unattainable
perfection, says Ashley. With fruit sourced from the grand crus
of the Central Coast, our wine practically makes itself.
Optimal ripeness, hand sorted fruit, small lot fermentations,
stem inclusion, co-ferments, and the proper formula of oak and
time embody their winemaking philosophy. Although
influenced by those before us, our wines never imitate, and
always inspire. Our wines harmonize with all genres of food, but
the ideal pairing is with friends, family, music, and laughter. We

hope you have as much fun enjoying our wines, as we do
making them.

Wine Tasting in
Qup Winery Quality California Roots
BY BETHANY RHINE
Qup winery reflects the California spirit as founder Robert Neil

Lindquist (Bob) moved to California with his family when he was
young and since then has embraced everything Californian from the
music scene to becoming a devoted Dodger fan.
In 1975, Bobs pursuit for a career in the wine industry took flight.
It wasnt long until he knew he was destined to be a part of Santa
Barbaras Wine Country and in 1979 it became a reality. His path led
him to learn the art of winemaking under Jim Clendenen and in
1982 Qup was born via Chardonnay, Syrah and a dry Ros of Pinot
Noir.
As the years progressed Bobs passion for Syrah and other Rhne
varieties outshined the rest, but he has kept up with the crafting of
his exceptionally popular Chardonnay.
A Dedication to Biodynamic Practices

In 2002, Bob and his wife, Louisa Sawyer Lindquist who is also a
devoted winemaker, found their opportunity to expand into San Luis
Obispo Wine Country with the purchase of 80 acres in Edna Valley.
From day one the couple was committed to sustainable farming and
embarked on a journey of employing biodynamic practices that treat
the vineyard as a self-contained, living organism.
In 2005, the Sawyer Lindquist Vineyard was planted with Pinot
Noir, Marsanne, Syrah, Grenache, Tempranillo and Albario and in
2008 yielded its first productive crop.
In 2009, the vineyard earned two certifications formalizing Bob
and Louisas commitment to biodynamic farming practices: Demeter
Biodynamic and Stellar Organic.
Why Qup?
Bob named his winery after the Chumash Indian word for
California poppy to honor the indigenous people of the Central
Coast and Channel Islands. Bob decided to add an accent to the final
syllable to designate the pronunciation (kyoo-pay') as several sounds
of the Chumash language have been obscured with time.

SOLVANG
Wine Tasting in
Wandering Dog Wine Bar

BY CATHY NEUSHAL
The Wandering Dog Wine Bar in Solvang is the right place to go

if you are looking for a unique winetasting experience. Youll find an
diverse mix of boutique wines that you wont find elsewhere. Charles
and Jody Williams, who own the bar with Jack and Susan Williams,
palate-pick their wines, looking for the best being produced by upand-coming winemakers.
My husband and I taste every wine that we bring on and do not
buy based on price point or scores, said Jody Williams. She added,
We love all kinds of eclectic wines that perhaps some people
wouldnt be in to. How sad would that be if we never tried them just
because they dont get mainstream press?
Some of the Williams current favorites include a Viognier and
Syrah made under the Carucci label, which Williams described as
beautifully done wines, wines made by Kyle Knapp at Press Gang
Cellars, and the products of winemaker Clarissa Nagy, head
winemaker at Riverbench and for her own label Nagy 2.
Its fun to see these boutique producers grow. Many times, we are
a first big account for them. They go on to open their own tasting
rooms and their brands grow. Then, the next crop of young
winemakers are poised to take their places, Williams said.
When visiting the wine bar, you can also get a taste of some of the
best beer the world has to offer. The focus is on imports, and includes
an eclectic selection from Germany, Scotland, Belgium, Sweden,
Iceland and France. However, the wine bar also features beers
produced in the San Diego area. Williams said, They have great beer
down there!
The Wandering Dog has blind tastings every Thursday from 4:00
to 7:00 p.m. in which people try to identify things about a varietal,
including the region it comes from, the price point and alcohol level.
They also offer wine classes the first Friday of every month.
The Wandering Dog Wine Bar is at 1539 C Mission Drive in
Solvang. It is open Monday-Thursday 1:00 to 8:00 p.m., Friday 1:00
to 10:00 p.m,. Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m and Sunday 11:00

In 2008 they decided to start their own winery to showcase the

distinct varietals and vineyards of Santa Barbara and Santa Rita Hills
including Sierra Madre Vineyard, La Encantada Vineyard and Camp 4
Vineyard. The Fontes and Phillips portfolio includes less than 1,500
cases of wine annually of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
and the ever-popular Panky Ros. The term Panky refers to
anything thats really cool, which is exactly what you can expect from
this classic Ros blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah. Each bottle is
hand-labeled by Fontes and Phillips with hand-made pewter labels
from South America. Visitors to the tasting room will often have the
opportunity to meet the winemaker and his wife, and can also enjoy a
picnic with their wines.
Fontes and Phillips Winery is open Thursday through Monday
from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and is located at 3630 Sagunto Street

Another popular tasting experience that can be part of a tour or a

Walk Around is a Barrel Tasting.
Your guide takes a wine thief, a
special siphon placed into a hole in
the top of a barrel to extract tasting
samples of a maturing wine. The
sample allows you to taste what the
wine is like in the middle of developing its full potential.
Why make an appointment?
A Walk Around Tasting is a

combination of a tour and a tasting.
Your host brings along several
bottles of wine on your tour, and
may take you to a garden area of
the winery to pour the first round.
Then you move to another place
within the winery to sample the
next wine. This experience
continues until all the wines are
tasted.
Barrel Tasting
A Sit Down Tasting usually

requires an appointment, and there
may be a slightly higher fee than a
wine bar fee. Seated in an elegant
room, you are poured several wines
by your winery host. Expect your
host to describe the unique characteristics of each wine and how it
was made.
The most common tasting experience is a Wine Bar Tasting. You

step up to the bar where typically a
list of wines being poured is
displayed. Expect to pay a tasting
fee between $10-$40. Some tasting
bars will offer you the option to
taste a library or reserve wine.
Exercising this option increases the
fee, but will allow you to taste very
unique, old or rare wines.

Some wineries are so small that

they need to know when you are
coming so someone will be there
to greet you. Others have sit-down
tastings that start and end at
specific times. Its always a good
idea to schedule your appointments well in advance.
