INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER


BY LEN NAPOLITANO

What should I look for on a wine label? Part 1


First, lets look at what is required on every label:
Brand name.
Class or Type of wine: look for the words Table Wine,
Dessert Wine, Sparkling Wine, or the name of a grape variety. (A
stated grape variety must comprise 75% of the wine.) If no specific
grape is indicated, the label will state Red Wine or White Wine.
Name and address of the bottling winery; if imported,
the name of the importer and bottler.
Country of origin, if an imported wine.
Net contents, expressed in liters.
A standard wine bottle is 750 milliliters, or 0.75 liters.
Alcohol content, expressed in percent by volume.
Appellation of origin of the grapes.
A government health warning on alcohol.
A declaration of sulfur dioxide agent (Contains Sulfites),
if applicable. It is not required on certified organic wine.
Get accustomed to reading all the label information with special
attention to the terms below:
Alcohol: As alcohol content increases, wine feels heavier on the
palate, creating a more full-bodied wine style. If you are in search of
a lighter, more delicate wine, either look for Table Wine on the
label, meaning the alcohol content does not exceed 14%, or find
wines with no more than than 13% alcohol as they tend to be more
food-friendly and nuanced. If you are in search of a sweet wine,
bottles labeled as Dessert Wine contains more than 14% alcohol.
Vintage: A wines vintage indicates the year the grapes were
harvested, not the year the wine was bottled. If a vintage date is
stated, then 95% of the wine must be from that year and the label
must also show a geographic origin of the grapes. For most
imported wines, vintage takes on more significance than domestic
wines because vineyards outside the U.S. are less likely to be
irrigated and therefore subject to greater weather variables that
influence wine quality from year to year.
Although red wines age longer than white wines, before choosing
an old vintage red wine make sure it is an age-worthy grape variety
and stored properly throughout its life. If in doubt, go with a
trustworthy retailer when purchasing any wine more than five
years older than the wines current vintage on store shelves.
Bottles priced at around $25 and below are typically made for
consumption when they are released to the market, whereas more
expensive wines tend to do better if allowed to age longer in the
bottle. Its hard to say how long sometimes a year makes a big
difference, while other wines need more time to show their best.
Cellaring after buying a new wine is not a hard and fast rule, and it
doesnt mean you wont enjoy a new release that costs you $50 or

10

more. But, its something to keep in the back of your mind if you
plan to spend more on your wine choices.
Appellation of Origin: A basic appellation of origin for American
wine, such as a state or county, indicates at least 75% of the grapes
came from that appellation. But remember, no single state or
county is an American Viticultural Area (AVA), which is a specific
region recognized for making wines of distinction. If an AVA is
stated on a label it must supply a minimum 85% of the grapes.
With increasing precision in the location of the grapes appellation
of origin, the characteristics of the wine become more defined. For
example, a New York or Oregon appellation of origin will have
fewer distinguishable characteristics than a wine from a more
narrow geographic AVA designation, such as New Yorks Finger
Lakes or Oregons Columbia Valley.
However, keep in mind the one great advantage to a broad state
appellation: it gives flexibility to the producer, allowing the winery
to choose grapes from anywhere in the state locations they likely
select precisely because of superior conditions for growing certain
grapes. Take, as an example, a 100% Pinot Noir made with the
appellation California. Assume that 50% of the grapes come from
Sonoma Countys Russian River AVA in Northern California, and
50% from Santa Barbara Countys Santa Maria Valley AVA, about
300 miles away in Central California. The appellation of origin
California is enormous, but the grapes were grown in two of the
most esteemed regions in the state for Pinot Noir. Its helpful when
a label provides extra details like this, but it isnt required.
Beyond an appellation, a single vineyard name might be included
on a label because the producer believes its unique soils and
microclimate produce a special wine. Or, because the vineyard has
earned a name for itself and is respected for producing wines of
outstanding quality. A vineyard by itself is not an appellation of
origin nor an approved American Viticultural Area.

BY JOSH STEIN

Picking Decisions: Reds


Close your eyes and think back to the red wine that first hooked
you on wine. Think about its aromas and flavors, the magic on
contact, the depth and weight of its mid-palate, the length of time it
remained after swallowed. Was it a higher acid red, or was it tanninfilled? How noticeable was the oak, and how sweet or vibrant the
fruits? Believe it or not, that end picture is what we start with as our
target in mind as we go to pick and make wine from red grapes.
When we start to make picking decisions, there seem to be lots of
variables, like variety, Brix (sugar) levels, acid levels, maturity for
depth of flavor and color, upcoming weather, etc., but I start with the
processing in mind: how much color, intensity, tannin do we want in
the finished wine? Starting there makes the subsequent decisions less
overwhelming because they deliberately take options off the table.
Lower-alcohol, less-intensive wines call for lower Brix grapes handled
in an easier, old school fashion; higher-alcohol, fruit- or tanninbombs, in the parlance of our times, call for more extreme farming
and Brix levels and tend to involve extended pre- and postfermentation soakings. One style isnt better than the other,
especially as its more a spectrum than extremes, but there are
technical production differences.
Options abound: temperture control matters for reds as much as it
does for whites. Reds are generally done at higher temperatures than
whites, and as with any cooking, heat equals speed; for wine, that
means the potential to get too hot or go too fast, potentially killing
the yeast and leaving the fermentation stuck, which increases the
likelihood of other issues. About 85F is what we generally aim for
in reds, which will translate into about a week to ten days until
pressing and movement to barrels. Sometimes you want a little more
color release, so you let the temperature nudge into the low-90s;
sometimes you want to preserve more aroma, so you keep it low and
slow in the mid-70s, extending the fermentation a week or two or
more.
When you hear mention of house style, this is one of the ways in

which it comes about. Each wines fermentation may be its own little
ship at sea, if you will, but the winemaker is the admiral of them all,
pulling together a range of varieties through subtle tweaks. The
vessel used adds to this as larger tanks make it logistically easier in
some ways as there is less to get lost or done wrong than when
working with dozens of small tanks or bins, yet the potential for heat
issues can be greater because of the size of the columnar liquid
masses; its not easy to get 10,000 gallons up to temp, and its not easy
to stop it once its going, for example.
Equally, the method employed to cause agitation, punchdown or
pumpover, as well as the number of times done daily, has an impact.
Think of your personal style of letting a teabag steep (or not you
know who you are) and you have an analogous situation as agitation
causes more mixing of liquids and solids in the fermenting must.
Even when done, there are stylistic choices: post-fermentation
contact with the gross lees or separation into barrels, casks or tanks
before fermentation is even fully done?
Intensity, of course, leads to discussions of alcohol and sugar.
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, however, with attention to the numbers and experience
being the producers of desired results. This is obviously aided or
held back by the starting Brix levels, as noted above.
I like to think of fine winemaking as 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 red, 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!

Sutter Home Tasting Room St. Helena


Stop by the Sutter Home tasting room
and you will know why Sutter Home wines
have been an American favorite for
generations. With 20 wines in the portfolio,
Sutter Home truly knows how to pour a
wine for any preference. Conveniently
located on Highway 29, just south of the
picturesque town of St. Helena, the tasting
room is in the original Sutter Home winery
built in 1890. You wont be able to miss the
iconic yellow Victorian! The Trinchero family
purchased the winery in 1948 and has since
grown the operation from a small family
business to one of the most recognized and
favorite wine brands in the world. And,
Sutter Home is still family-owned and family
run! Since the post-war era, Sutter Home
remains one of the few wineries that offers
complimentary tastings, a reflection of its
great wines for fair values philosophy.
Sip, nibble and experience all of the best
of wine country at the Sutter Home tasting
room. The welcoming tasting bar is staffed
with knowledgeable, approachable and
passionate people. Hear the story of the
fortuitous creation of White Zinfandel 40
years ago, get recommendations for the best
winemaker-owned burger joint in the Napa
Valley, or pick up a little wine education
from any of the experts behind the tasting
bar. Sutter Homes wines are beautiful

22

reflections of Californias premium vineyards.


Each wine bursts with varietal character,
exquisite aromas and delicious flavors. Savor
the Indian summer with Sutter Home
Chardonnay; a classic Californian
Chardonnay with smooth, rich and creamy
fruit flavors. Fruit-forward wine lovers
should experience the Sweet Red a
delicious blend of Zinfandel, Merlot and a
touch of sweet white wine. Want something
smooth? Try the Sutter Home Merlot. Its rich

plum and cherry flavors shine. What is your


favorite varietal Moscato? White Merlot?
Pink Pinot Grigio? Bubbly Brut? Pick up the
convenient 187ml Sutter Home minis and
try them all!
The tasting-room-exclusive wines should
not be missed! Make sure to join in the
pink craze and celebrate history with the
Sutter Home Reserve White Zinfandel,
which is made from Napa Valley grapes and
presents delicious strawberry and floral
flavors. This wine pays homage to the Sutter
Home original White Zinfandel, which was
first created only yards away from the tasting
bar. A casual atmosphere makes the Sutter
Home tasting room unique and warm. While
sipping on a mouth-watering glass of wine,
visitors can shop for wine country gifts
including the Burger Parties cookbook,
which features winning recipes from Sutter
Homes double decade Build a Better Burger
contest.
The Sutter Home experience continues
outdoors where visitors can enjoy the
beautifully manicured and historic grounds
and gardens. All through the spring and
summer, the tranquil gardens bloom with
vibrant roses and stunning flowers.
The Sutter Home tasting room is open
daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located
at 277 St. Helena Highway, St. Helena.

A Century-Old Treasure

POPE VALLEY WINERY


Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
6613 Pope Valley Road, Pope Valley, CA 94567
(707) 965-1246 | www.popevalleywinery.com

Sometimes, the best a destination has to offer cant be found in your Frommers
guide. High above the heavily-trafficked Napa Valley floor and hundreds of
pretentious, monotonous wineries, sits a century-old treasure: Pope Valley Winery.
This scenic road less traveled, draped with vineyards and offering panoramic views
of the picturesque Napa Valley, leads you northeast of the Silverado Trail and back in
time to 40 quaint, country acres. Here, the Burgundy Wine and Olive Oil Factory was
founded in 1897, a three-story gravitational winery that shipped wine by train to Al
Capones Chicago speakeasies during Prohibition. A century later, it was purchased by
the Eakle family, long-time Pope Valley Residents, and given new life.
The winery no longer sells to gangsters, but not too much else has changed. Pope
Valley Winerys mark of authenticity is signed and sealed with the nineteenth century
farming equipment, hand dug cave and original blacksmith shop, farmhouse and
wagon shed, all still on the property.
In 2009, siblings David Eakle as winemaker and Diana Eakle Hawkins as general
manager, took hold of the reins with the goal of bringing Pope Valley Winery to the
next level of quality, distinction and recognition. They hand-craft 5,000 cases of fine
wines a year, among them the Estate Reserve Cab and Merlot Eakle Ranch, which both
won Best in Class for their 2010 vintages at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine
Competition. Theyre known for their Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel Port, and a very
rare Old Vine Chenin Blanc, and produce Sangiovese Ros, Sauvignon Blanc and
Zinfandel as well.
Visitors who are welcomed like old friends can embark on one-of-a-kind tours
of the historic grounds and through the cave, which took nine long years to dig. A
variety of tasting options include custom wine flights, picnics, a private view of the
vineyards from their 1897 Lounge and a Brunch & Bubbles Experience for the early
birds. Wine Club members can even get away for a night with a stay in the original
farmhouse, sipping wine under a bright sky completely blanketed in stars.
No need for frills, extravagance or even paved roads. The only bells and whistles
youll find here is literally on old ringing bell on a big oak tree. Pope Valley Winery
prides itself in staying true to its historic, Old Napa roots, while making fine wines that
can compete with the best of the New Age Valley below.

Judds Hill Barrel Blending Day Camp


Personal winemaking without the vineyard or the wait!
Are you a wine enthusiast who has always wanted to create your
own blend, a budding entrepreneur looking to start your own
brand, or a business owner looking for a unique corporate gift for
your clients? If any of those ring true, then Judds Hill Barrel
Blending Day Camp is the perfect program for you!
Judds Hill, the pioneers in personal winemaking, is celebrating
25 years of creating small lots of wine (as little as one barrel) for
local grape growers in a program called Custom MicroCrush.
Throughout those 25 years there has been a growing interest among
those who wanted to create their own wine but didnt have a
vineyard or didnt want to wait the one to two years for a finished
product. Thats when Judds Hill decided to develop another
program that offered a similar experience to MicroCrush, but
instead of starting with grapes, interested winemakers would use
Judds Hill wine that was
ready to custom blend and
bottle.
Since its inception, Barrel
Blending Day Camp has been
a hit with companies looking
to create fun and unique
corporate gifts, enthusiasts
looking to kick start their own
wine brand, as well as wine
lovers looking for a unique
Napa Valley wine adventure.
Whatever may draw you to
the love of wine; this is an
experience not to be missed!

26

Barrel Blending day Camp


in a Nutshell:
The barrel blending experience
begins in the morning, when your
palate is fresh, and can last anywhere
from two to three hours. The large
hand-made table in the tasting
room, built years ago by founder Art
Finkelstein, is transformed.
Butcher paper lines the table top,
allowing blenders space to freely jot
down notes throughout the creative
process. A selection of essential tools
is available to work with, including
Erlenmeyer flasks, various sized
graduated cylinders, calculators for
determining percentages, and of course lots and lots of wine glasses!
Youll begin creating your Bordeaux blend from a selection of ultrapremium single-vineyard, 100% varietal wines from the Napa Valley,
including Merlot, Cabernet Franc and multiple Cabernet Sauvignon
sources. Once you have tasted through each varietal individually its
time to experiment! Guided by winemaker, Kenn Vigoda, youll
construct several combinations comprised of different percentages of
each varietal. Then you will do side-by- side comparisons with each
blend, putting your sense of smell, taste and mouth-feel to work. As
you work through the blends, you will tweak the combinations until
you develop the perfect cuvee for your palate. You might find it on
your first try or your 6th, but either way you are guaranteed to enjoy
this fun and educational adventure!
If you cant make it to the Judds Hill tasting room in Napa, no
worries! Kenn, who has over 30 years of winemaking experience in

www.WineCountrythisWeek.com

WiNe CouNtrY tHis WeeK | WiNe CouNtrY NeWs

the Napa Valley, can create and


send blended samples to you
based on the flavor profile you
desire.
Interested in a varietal other
than the classic Bordeaux? Over
the years Judds Hill has
established long-term
relationships with growers
around the Napa Valley (and
beyond), and is able to source
from a variety of premium
vineyards. So whether its a
specific varietal or appellation
youre after, Judds Hill will
match you with the wine that
fits your needs!
Once youve put your blend
together or have chosen a single
varietal wine, its time to think
about your label. Let your
creativity take control! Judds
Hill will help you through this
process by taking care of the
compliance aspect of your label
and teaming you up with one of
the many experienced graphic
designers who work with
MicroCrush vintners.
The final phase in creating
your own wine is getting it from
barrel to bottle. This can vary
anywhere from a month to a
year, depending on the vintage
and varietal you choose. Once
bottled, you are left with 24
cases (per barrel) of personally
blended, bottled and labeled
wine created by you!

Vezer Family Vineyards in Suisin Valley


The Petite Sirah Capital of the World
BY JACK LOUIS HARLANN

Serious red wine drinkers will always gravitate to the darkest and
the most powerful of all the reds: Petite Sirah and Cabernet Franc.
Yet, novice winemakers will steer as far away as they can from these
reds in particular The Lion Petite Sirah (and yes, this is the only
correct way to spell Petite Sirah). The
reason for this justified intimidation is the
fact that Petite Sirah best fits the old adage,
Dynamite comes in small packages.
Petite Sirah is a dynamite grape black
as a moonless nights sky, thick like velvet,
and full of blackberry and red currant
bouquets. However, if you do not grow this
grape in the right region and have a bold
enough winemaker, then it will never reach
its potential as the darkest and most stealth
of its noble brothers.
The perfect area for Petite Sirah is Suisun
Valley. In fact, this little-known valley,
located on the backside of downtown Napa, has the perfect
microclimate for Petite Sirah.
The reason is the volcanic soil it shares with Napa, but even more
so is the fog shield created by the Mount George mountain range in
particular, the Twin Sisters of this range, which is the only thing that
separates Suisun Valley and Napa Valley.
This mountain range prevents most of the fog from spilling over
from the Napa side into Suisun Valley. This fog dam allows the
morning sun which has the most sugar contributions to bathe the
Suisun Valley fruit to its fullest content and most importantly do so

www.WineCountryThisWeek.com

while the soil is still cool from the evening before. Just when the fruit
cannot take more sun, the mountains again step in to save the day, as
an evening sun shield. Allowing the Petite Sirah to cool quickly, and
for the breeze to come in, thickening the skins and priming the roots
deeper into the soil, only to repeat itself all over again for six months
during spring and summer.
On the topic of Petite Sirah, one cannot help but mention, the lion
tamer of tamers, the dragon slayers of slayers,
the Petite Sirah whisperer of whisperers, the
one-and-only Vezr family and their
winemaker son-in-law, Jake.
The Vezr family has one of the most
revered Petite Sirah vineyards in Suisun
Valley, in fact, in all of the California North
Coast. This vineyard is called the La-Salette
Vineyard. The La-Salette Wine is the
ultimate Petite Sirah blend and experience
obtaining the highest recognition and selling
price ever for a Petite Sirah in a live auction
($30,000 in 2007 for a 1.5 liter magnum).
You must come and try all three Vezr
family wineries in the Suisun Valley, yes thats right, three wineries.
The Vezrs with their success in taming the Petite Sirah have
turned Suisun Valley (which is only 12 miles from downtown Napa)
into an old-world-wine oasis, specializing in four styles of Petite
Sirah, as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and their famous
Verdelho. All three wineries provide a different experience as well as
different wines. While visiting, see if you can schedule a private tour
of The Ranch and go into the old horse stables for a secret port barrel
tasting like no other you have tried.
Suisun Valley is calling your name, come visit the Vezr family.

Looking for unforgettable wines and memorable ways to enjoy them? Then
Sequoia Grove needs to be at the top of your to-visit list! Pulling in off of busy
Highway 29 produces an instant transformation as the winerys drive shields visitors
from the cars and noise, greeting them with Cabernet vines and a literal grove of
Sequoias, including the two which flank the entrance to the 150-year-old barn which
houses the tasting room. Everything is light- and wood-filled, giving the impression
of being high above the Valley despite the proximity of the rest of Napa around the
winery.
Sequoia Grove estate occupies twenty-four acres of Rutherford Benchland, and the
combination of warm-but-not-hot temperatures, alluvial soils and cooling fog
exposure each morning and evening allow for balanced, elegant winegrowing. Putting
the focus on the vineyard, on producing great grapes, is held in the highest regard. As
Michael Trujillo, President and Director of Winemaking, says, for Sequoia Grove,
vineyard balance is first. Balance includes everything from the roots of the vines to
the fruit itself.
This is seen in the range of the winerys offerings, each of which is true to the
philosophy that the winemaker allows the site to show through with balance in the
wines. Releases run the gamut, from Ros of Syrah to Gewrztraminer and Sauvignon
Blanc, as well as Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Merlot and Syrah, among others. But

FEATURED WINERIES

A New Wine Country Experience


Opens on the Oakville Cross Road
the majority of the winerys 40,000-case production is one varietal:
Napa Valley Cabernet. There are also a range of vineyard-designated
Cabs, and they are tasting room-only; they are absolutely worth the
trip.
Indeed, the apotheosis of the Sequoia Grove red wine experience
is their A Taste for Cabernet Sauvignon, a private, small-group
exploration led by industry veteran Dean Busquaert and based
around the winerys vineyard-designated Cabs and Cabernet blend,
Cambium. The goals are to showcase the ways in which different
soils, trellesing and locations impact what ends up in the glass and
methods to improve food-and-wine pairing by focusing on
connections between food and the flavors of Cabernet-based wines.
Location, location, location is a truism in anything and
everything land-based, and single-vineyard releases from Oak Knoll
District, East and West Rutherford, and Atlas Peak help to showcase
the differences in soil composition, heat, and exposure. Equally,
pairing apple, lemon, sea salt and two different styles of cheese with
Cabernet Sauvignon reveals some interesting, perhaps even shocking
for some, insights into using food to optimize experiencing a fine
wine, a philosophy of pairing quite different than conventional
mantras and a true winery perspective on food and wine matching.
Tastes of the Cambium blend and a barrel sample from the newest
estate vineyard, Tonella, round out the program nicely.
Ultimately, people come to the Napa Valley for big reds, and
Sequoia Grove delivers. Make the easy turn into their greenery-lined
driveway and prepare for relaxed enjoyment and site-specific
goodness. Let the fine folks of Sequoia Grove take over and do what
they do best: pour amazing wines which speak of their birthplaces.
Youll be glad you did enjoy!

Set to be hosted by ZD Wines and Patrick Dempsey in Napa

Challenge presented by Amgen, said Brett deLeuze, second
generation vintner and ZD Wines President. We are thrilled to
continue our growing partnership with the Dempsey family and the

Three experiences are available through the Crush Challenge
presented by Amgen. The all-inclusive package features a wine dinner
at ZDs historic Carneros estate property overlooking its reserve
vineyard in Napa. Each course will be crafted by one of six chefs,
from Quinn Hatfield of Michelin-starred restaurant Hatfield's in Los
Angeles to Sean Massey of Morimoto Napa. Pairings will highlight
carefully selected vintages of ZD Reserve Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and
Abacus, the winerys exclusive solera-style Cabernet Sauvignon.
By day, the all-inclusive ticket includes a farm-to-table lunch
prepared by Chef Tyler Rodde of Napas Oenotri, preceded by either:
1) a behind-the-scenes tour and tasting at ZDs Rutherford Estate
winery led by founding family members, the winemaker and
celebrity guest Carl Weathers, or 2) a private Napa Valley cycling

excursion during Napas grape harvest, led by Patrick Dempsey and


cycling legends Bob Roll, Levi Leipheimer and Christian Vande Velde.
Tickets for this all-inclusive package are highly limited and are
offered at $1500 per person.
For those eager to support the causes behind this inaugural event
but who will be unavailable for dinner, two package options for the
daytime activities are available. Tickets for the behind-the-scenes
tasting plus the Oenotri lunch are offered at $200 per person, limited
to 30 guests. Tickets for the cycling excursion and Oenotri lunch are
$300 per person, with 100 seats available. All cyclists will receive a

other and are focused on helping cancer patients get the support,
education and wellness services they need.

Invite Frank Family Vineyards to Your Holiday Table


With the holidays already around the corner, it is time to start
thinking about Thanksgiving and all the greatness it entails friends,
family, food and wine. Hosting a holiday dinner can be especially
stressful, but we are here to help! Here are some suggetions of Frank
Family wines to pair with Thanksgiving dinner, giving you one less
thing to worry about.
Frank Family Vineyards Carneros Chardonnay It is no
surprise that this wine has been recommended as the best bet
for Thanksgiving by Snooth.com. Frank Familys Chardonnay is
a traditional Napa Valley Chardonnay that has a lively acidity
and a rich creaminess, and is perfectly able to stand up to the
fattiness in turkey and butternut squash. MilwaukeeMag.com
said it best, For a flawless Chardonnay, you cant go wrong with
this one.
Frank Family Vineyards Rouge Sparkling Wine This
sparkling wine made from 100% Pinot Noir is an excellent pair
to poultry. The Frank Family Rouge was named one of the 10
Best American Bubblies by Complete Wine Selector in 2013,
and is sure to place everyone in a celebratory mood according
to Coastal Isles. It is a wine that will take you from appetizers to
pumpkin pie. It is only available at the tasting room at the Frank
Family winery in Napa, and tends to sell out faster than a turkey
can run from the farmer.
Frank Family Vineyards Napa Valley Zinfandel This Frank
Family Zinfandel is an award winner, named best Zinfandel of
Competition at the Monterey Wine event in 2012, and awarded
Gold at the 2012 Los Angeles International Wine Competition.
Zinfandel is nicknamed the most American grape in the world,
making it an obvious choice for the holiday that epitomizes the
celebration of American history. It is juicy and well-rounded, a
perfect match for your bird.

Rich, Leslie and Riley


of Frank Family Vineyards

Frank Family Vineyards Late Harvest Chardonnay Frank


Familys Late Harvest Chardonnay is a game-changer. This Late
Harvest Chardonnay is balanced with layers of spice, sweetness,
and fruitiness, and drenches the palate with every single drop.
Pairs perfectly with the spiced desserts often enjoyed on
Thanksgiving, especially Pumpkin and Rhubarb Pies. Pamper
your guests with this perfect dessert wine and you may be
remembered as the best Thanksgiving host ever.
Frank Family won the Best Winery in Napa award for five
consecutive years in the Bay Area A-List. These wines are all available
at the tasting room, located at 1091 Larkmead Lane, Calistoga,
94515. No appointment necessary, but because of its popularity, we
encourage making a reservation. To book a tasting, go to

New Releases of Old World Style Wines


at Tedeschi Family Winery, Calistoga
Tedeschi Family Winery, a boutique
family owned and operated winery with
95 years of history, is pleased to
announce the release of several new
wines available only at their Calistoga
winery: 2012 Pinot Noir, 2012 Primitivo
and 2013 Chardonnay.

2012 Pinot Noir, russian river valley


Sourced from the heart of Russian
River Valley, the Pinot Noir grapes come
from the hand-tended Calandrelli
Vineyard. Fruit forward with a touch of
earthiness, the 2012 Pinot Noir
developed beautifully during its eighteen
months in French oak. Only 98 cases
were produced. The palate opens with
aromas of boysenberry and black cherry,
followed by solid notes of blackberry,
cedar spice and cocoa. While great now,
this Pinot will reward and age
wonderfully over the next three to seven
years, becoming more complex with each
passing year. This is a family favorite at
Thanksgiving dinner.

2012 Primitivo, russian river valley


Tedeschi is proud to offer its first-ever Primitivo, made from
Russian River Valley grapes. Sourced from De La Montanya
vineyards, the 2012 Primitivo features a blend comprised of 75%
Primitivo and 25% Tempranillo. Aged in French oak for eighteen
months, this Primitivo opens with classic aromas of ripe blackberry,
anise and ripe plum, followed by notes of boysenberry, blueberry,
mocha, and a long rich finish. The 2012 Primitivo is tasting great
now but will age beautifully over the next three to five years. Just 109
cases produced. This wine pairs well with the grill, and most Italian,
tomato-based meals.

2013 Chardonnay, russian river valley


Tedeschi Family Winery is also pleased to announce the release of
its Chardonnay, sourced from Vizlay Vineyard in Russian River Valley.
Aged for eighteen months in 20% new French oak, this Chardonnay
is made in the sur lie style. This wine offers aromas of crisp Granny
Smith apple, pear and candied lemon peel, followed by notes of fresh
red apples and hints of vanilla and pie spice. Well balanced with a
long finish, the 2013 Chardonnay is tasting great now and will age
nicely over the next two to five years. Only 97 cases were produced.

38

Variety is essential in life, says


Mario Tedeschi, Winemaker, and like
many, we enjoy having a variety of wines
on our dinner table here at home.
Having always been small producers, we
continue to craft and make our wines
traditionally in small volumes and
with patience. Our great-grandfather
liked taking his time with things, and
his dedication to quality has become our
passion here at Tedeschi. Our wines
arent available outside the winery, so we
invite you to come by, and taste some
wines with the family.
Tedeschi Family Winery is a small,
family-owned and operated winery
producing just over 1000 cases a year.
Their flagship wine is made from the
estates dry-farmed, single-vineyard
Cabernet Sauvignon. Emil Tedeschis
grandparents settled in Calistoga in
1919, emigrating from Pisa, Italy. In
1951, their son, Eugene acquired the
property with existing fruit orchards
where he would soon plant the first estate vines and build his familys
home. In 1991, Emil returned as steward after building one of
Hawaiis most successful wineries: Tedeschi Vineyards Maui. The
Calistoga winery has become the passion and single focus of Emils
two sons, Emilio and Mario, along with a very interested daughter,
Elaine. Together, with Emilio acting as General Manager and brother
Mario as Winemaker, they have sought out and committed to
handcrafting old-world style wines from several small and
neighboring vineyards to produce Merlot, Pinot Noir, Petite Sirah,
Primitivo, Chardonnay, Viognier, Ros of Pinot Noir and a Late
Harvest Sauvignon Blanc. All of the vineyards are specially selected
and hand-tended.
Tedeschi Family Winery is located at 2779 Grant Street Calistoga,
CA 94515, just a half a mile south of Old Faithful Geyser. Visitors are
invited to the winery daily by appointment from 10:30 a.m. to 5
p.m. for tasting. There is no commercial signage, so look for the
address (2779 Grant Street) and a big barrel to enjoy the winerys
private setting and picnic area!
For more information, visit the website at
www.TedeschiFamilyWinery.com or call (707) 501-0668. You can
also follow them on Facebook and Twitter: @TedeschiWinery.

preparedness and first aid training for pets,


says Executive Director of Napa Humane,
Jane Albert. The recent Napa earthquake is a
sobering reminder of the importance of
planning for every member of the family
four-legged ones included. Being prepared
saves lives, reduces stress and provides
precious time during a disaster, as well as
allowing for a speedy recovery after disaster
strikes.
Guests participating in Harvest Hounds
will receive a complimentary splash of 2011
HALL Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, a
designer pet cookie by Ma Snax Dog Treats.
Additionally, 10% of wine sales from 12-4pm
each Saturday during the month of October
will be directed to Napa Humane. Pets are
welcome in the arbor.
Harvest Hounds Charity Effort to raise
funds from wine and tasting room sales at
HALL Wines St. Helena is located at 401 St.
Helena Hwy. So., St. Helena, CA 94574. For

The effort kicks off at HALL Wines in


St. Helena during the month of October and
includes on-site and social media campaigns
to help drive awareness to the organization.
We are thrilled to partner again with the
enthusiastic team at Napa Humane, says
Director of Hospitality, Jocelyn Hoar. Each
year we have the opportunity to spend time
with our guests, visiting tourists, locals and
supporters who all want to help pets. Seeing
so many people coming together for such a
great cause is heartwarming.
Guests on and off-site will be able to
interactively participate by pairing their pet
in a HALL-themed photo and share via
social media through Twitter, Facebook and
Instagram using the hashtags and handles
#DogsofInstagram @hallwines
@napahumane. Winners of the contests will
receive a HALL swag bag including a copy of
Winery Dogs pawtographed by CoCo, Craig
and Kathryn Halls dog.
The funds raised through Harvest

Best Winery in Napa award for 5 consecutive years in the Bay Area A-List.
2012 Winery of the Year by Connoisseurs guide to fine wine.

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

1091 Larkmead Lane, 4 miles north of St. Helena

Eleventh Annual Pinot On The River Festival,


the Full Immersion Pinot Noir Event
More than 100 small-production artisanal Pinot Noir producers
will join hundreds of serious Pinot Noir fanatics at the 2014 Pinot on
the River Festival, held Sunday, October 26 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
on the Healdsburg Plaza in downtown Healdsburg. The eleventh
edition of this popular annual event focuses upon highly allocated,
limited-production Pinot Noirs from up and down the West Coast.
This is a true full-immersion Pinot Noir tasting event, featuring a
lineup of top Pinot Noir producers from Sonoma County and
beyond. Sundays Artisanal Pinot Noir Tasting offers wine lovers the
chance to sample a veritable whos who of Pinot Noir specialists in an
idyllic wine country setting.
There are a lot of stellar wine events held each year, but because
of their size, none can offer the focused, intimate tasting environment
weve created with Pinot On The River, said Gregory S. Walter, cofounder/organizer of the event and editor of the PinotReport
newsletter. The combination of the small event size and opportunity
to taste a focused lineup of specially selected Pinots Noirs creates the
ultimate event for Pinot lovers.
In addition to the full program of Pinot Noir tastings, this premier
wine event also includes local artisan food vendors, raffle and silent

Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Sonoma County, who provide highimpact youth development programs to over 3,000 children each day
after school throughout local communities.
Weve brought in more than 100 of the best Pinot Noir producers
on the West Coast. These are incredible wines, that in many cases
you cant find in the marketplace. It will be extraordinary day for
Pinot Noir enthusiasts and local communities as we come together to
raise money for Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Sonoma County, said
Eric Hall, Co-Founder of Pinot on the River and owner of Roadhouse
Winery.
Pinot on the River begins with the Grand Tasting at 11 a.m. for
early-entry ticket holders, and noon for the public. Featured wineries
include Roadhouse, Papapietro Perry, Failla, Siduri, Kanzler
Vineyards, Littorai, Paul Hobbs, Sea Smoke, The Donum Estate and
Patz & Hall. Guests will have the opportunity to purchase these
excellent wines and others through the silent auction, hosted by Boys
& Girls Clubs of Central Sonoma County. They have also put
together an exclusive instant wine cellar that will be raffled off
during the event.
Tickets are on sale now for both the full weekend and for the
Sunday tasting only. For more information, visit

One of Alexander Valleys newest, yet oldest wineries


awaits you. Let me explain Soda Rock Winery was
originally constructed back in 1869, the Alamo-like stone
faade was added in 1993, but the new-and-improved Soda
Rock Winery made its debut in January of 2011.
This wonderful place is an eclectic blend of old-meetsnew. The main building that houses the tasting bar and
lounge oozes history the rough-hewn stone faade (featured
front and center) outside of the building is your first clue.
Once inside the large, airy tasting room and lounge, with its
exposed brick walls and redwood beams, you almost expect
to hear the chink-chink of spurs as cowboys and farmers
mosey up to the long antique bar for a drink.
The contemporary touches in and around the tasting bar
and lounge include stained cement floors all throughout the
structures and sleek, modern-looking buildings that house
the tasting room and event facility. There are large pieces of
art displayed around the tasting bar and there are tables and
chairs scattered about the room. A row of comfy barstools are
lined along the bar. Youll want to relax and stay a while.
Looking to host a wedding, private party, winemaker
dinner or corporate event? Soda Rock Winery should
definitely be on your list of venues to check out! In addition
to having have a licensed wedding coordinator on staff, their
large event facility accommodates up to 250 people and the
smaller, more intimate Vineyard Room can accommodate up
to 50 people. The beautifully landscaped picnic area and
surrounding grounds are also available for private events.
For visitors who would like to prolong their Soda Rock
experience, there are four luxuriously appointed guest suites
on site as well.
Soda Rock Winery specializes in Bordeaux varietals and I
tasted a few during my visit. I enjoyed them all. My favorites
were the following
2012 Chardonnay, Alexander Valley ($24): Ill admit it,
this Chardonnay won me over. I am usually a card-carrying
member of the ABC (Anything But Chardonnay) Club,
because Im not fond of big, rich oaky butterbombs. This
beauty is a crisp treat to the nose and mouth, loaded with
green apple, peach and floral notes, all wrapped up in a
juicy, vibrant mouthfeel. Yum!
2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, Mercantile, Alexander Valley
($40): This is an $80 Cab in a $40 dress! Luscious aromas
and flavors of mocha, black cherry and cigar box abound,
linger through the velvety mouth and on through the long
finish. Amazing value!
Dont miss Soda Rock Winery!

A visit to Sonoma wine country should definitely


include Cline Cellars on the must stop list. The
family-friendly winery features complimentary
tastings of classic California and Rhne-style wines
and Zinfandels, as well as a unique variety of activities
and adventures for all ages.
Vineyard owner Fred Cline, the grandson of
Valeriano Jacuzzi, began making wine even before he
was even old enough to drink it. At the tender age of
13, his grandfather made sure he learned his way
around a vineyard. When Cline received his $9,000
inheritance from his grandfather in 1982, he
promptly started Cline Cellars and as early as 2001,
he was practicing sustainable farming and taking
winemaking to a whole new level going beyond
organic farming.
As Cline explained, Just because you have pests,
doesnt mean you have to get rid of them. We dont
want to farm in a sterile environment. For example,
they use cover crops such as barley and oats to
provide a haven for beneficial insects such as Predator
Mites. The cover crops also mean the vineyards do
not need to be disced, or cultivate with a plow that
turns and loosens the soil with a series of discs. This
process actually hurts the soil and is often corrected
with a synthetic pesticide.
The tasting room is located in a charming 1850s
farmhouse, surrounded by six spring fed ponds and
thousands of rose bushes. Unusual for wine country,
Cline Cellars offers daily complimentary tastings of
five non-reserve wines to lucky guests, and offers
private tastings by appointment only ranging in $10$15 per person. Guests partaking of private tastings
also receive a 15% discount on purchases made the
day of the appointment.
A visit to Cline has something for everyone. The
property is a registered historic site and was the
location of Mission San Francisco de Solano until it
was moved to the town of Sonoma in 1823. The
winery features classic California wines like Pinor
Noir, Chardonnay, and Merlot, as well as Rhne-style
wines like Syrah, Carignane, Viognier and Mourvedre.
For something special, be sure to try their Ancient
Vines Mourvedre or Mourvedre Ros, and several
truly sumptuous Zinfandels for the zinfanatic.

And, do not miss the fish pond, California Missions Museum,


the exotic bird display and the winerys two Sicilian miniature
burros, Pudding and Fancy.
The Cline carp pond was originally stocked in the mid-1800s,
when the owner raised the fish to feed hungry San Franciscans.
Today, its also home to turtles and the occasional heron. We invite
guests to grab a handful of our fish food and see what a carp
feeding frenzy looks like.
The Clines have rescued a host of exotic birds and built an
environment in which they can thrive. Make sure and pay a visit
to these colorful, friendly creatures.
The California Missions Museum should not be missed. The
Clines constructed a museum that displays meticulously handcrafted models of all 21 California missions. These models were
built in 1939 for the Worlds Fair at Treasure Island. In 1998, the
Clines purchased the models and in 2005, opened this museum,
which also hosts two stained glass panels originating in 15th
Century Spain.
With award-winning wines, historic property, and charming
farmhouse tasting room with a friendly and knowledgeable staff a
visit to Cline will be sure to become a favorite memory on ay visit
to the Sonoma wine country.

New Temporary Exhibit at The Sonoma House at Patz & Hall


Patz & Hall brings new, captivating art crafted from reclaimed
materials to sonoma County by artist richard von saal
The Sonoma House at Patz & Hall welcomes the work of artist
Richard Von Saal to Art Harvest No. 2, a quarterly art exhibition at
Patz & Halls new home. The temporary public exhibit at the
Sonoma House (21200 8th Street East, Sonoma) will kick off with an
opening reception on Saturday, October 18, at 5:30 p.m. Von Saals
captivating art will be on display at the Sonoma House until
December 28.
The October 18 reception will feature complimentary pours of
Patz & Hall Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, as well as a
selection of artisanal cheeses selected by Chef Natalie Niksa of La
Saison. Other Patz & Hall wines will be available for purchase by the
glass or bottle, including its sought-after single-vineyard
Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs.
The Sonoma House at Patz & Hall has partnered with Luxe
Interiors + Design magazine and the Reverie Arts gallery in San
Francisco to bring exclusive exhibitions of artists to wine country.
These quarterly art exhibits will feature emerging to established artists
and are a rare extension of the current art world into Sonoma County.
The Sonoma House, which opened in January 2014, is just a few
miles south of the Sonoma town square, located near the Highway 12
corridor.
Since starting Art Harvest at the Sonoma House at Patz & Hall,
our guests have enjoyed stimulating art alongside our world-class

Look for us on Facebook and become a Fan!

Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines, said Heather Patz, a founding


partner at Patz & Hall. Richards fascinating pieces will be the perfect
complement to the Sonoma House and will contribute to the warm,
inviting environment.
Von Saal uses weathered structures and the complex vibrato of
wood grains to create a parade of images and shapes. He reveals his
story by harvesting salvaged material such as old steel from a
condemned war ship, warped glass from a warehouse fire, woods that
sheathed a 200-year-old winery and fusing them into his
architectural prisms of expression. His palette includes using special
solutions to create color, complexity and corrosion. The angles and
contortions of the materials he uses to create his art open the
windows to the reality that is his work.
Guests unable to attend the reception are invited to visit the
Sonoma House to enjoy a glass of Patz & Halls benchmark Pinot
Noirs and Chardonnays while viewing these exceptional examples of
the art world.
Patz & Hall welcomes guests for private, by-appointment seated
tastings Thursday through Monday at 10:30 a.m., 1 and 3:30 p.m.
For a more casual wine tasting experience, Patz & Hall also offers
seated tastings on the hour at an inviting bar Thursday through
Monday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Reservations are strongly encouraged
at the tasting bar so Patz & Hall can offer guests the best possible
experience. For reservations or inquiries, call the Sonoma House at
Patz & Hall at (707) 265-7700 or email info@patzhall.com.

Summer Menu at the


Mayo Family Reserve Room
The Mayo Family Winerys Kenwood-based Reserve Room has continueds its
expanded summer hours and opening days as well as a new food and wine pairing
menu to take it through the summer months and into fall. The Reserve Room changes
its menu seasonally under the direction of Executive Chef Clayton Lewis.
Through October, the Mayo Family Reserve Room will be open seven days a week
from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Reservations can be made by calling (707) 833-5504 or
via OpenTable online reservation service.
The Mayo Family Reserve Room is one of the original wine and food pairing tasting
room experiences. Guests are seated and presented with seven of Chef Lewis elaborate
culinary creations, each paired with a Mayo Family reserve wine. The tasting takes
about an hour during which guests sample the pairings and converse with the Chef
Lewis. Pairing our wines with great food is something our family has been doing
since we started in 1993 with our first vintage, says Jeff Mayo. Since we inaugurated
the Reserve Room in 2005, and with the menu changing seasonally, we have
continually expanded our menu to try to feature as many of our wines as possible.
In a recent review of the experience, San Francisco Chronicle wine critic Jon Bonne
noted the substantial nature of the tasting makes Mayo Reserve Room worth a visit
and a good deal, an opinion echoed by the Wall Street Journals wine writers who
dubbed the Reserve Room an awesome experience and The Best Deal in Wine
Country.
