Wineology

INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER

BY LEN NAPOLITANO

How does wine get color?


How wine achieves color is dependent partly upon the grape
variety, the size of the grape berry and the exposure to oxygen of the
juice. But mostly, it depends on the duration of the juice-to-skin
contact.
Though seldom done, it is possible to make white wine from red
grapes, but red wine can only be made from red grapes. In red
winemaking, colorless juice is released as red grapes are crushed and
then pumped into a stainless steel tank or plastic bin. As skins break
open, color pigments in the skins make contact with the juice; juice
darkens and gets more intense color with longer skin contact. This
skin-and-juice contact period, called maceration, or cold-soaking,
could last from a few hours to a couple of weeks, depending on the
wine and winemakers preferences.
At some point during maceration, the fermentation process may
start, either by natural yeast, or through the winemakers manual
addition of a commercially packaged, cultured yeast. Fermentation is
visibly evident from a bubbling surface of the juice caused by the
release of carbon dioxide gas and heat as sugar converts to alcohol.
The gas pressure inside this dense mixture of juice, grape pulp, skins,
seeds and stems, called must, causes the solids to rise to the top. And
the biggest contributor to color grape skins is trapped within this
top layer of solids as the relatively clear juice stays below it not
good if you want red wine to actually be red.
To extract color, this cap of solids has to be manually pushed back
into the juice, or punched down, to keep the pigment-rich skins in
contact with as much juice as possible during maceration and
fermentation. When fermentation takes place inside plastic bins or
oak barrels that stand upright with one end open, punch-down is
done manually several times a day using a long-stemmed, punchdown tool. When juice ferments inside large stainless steel tanks too
large to punch down by hand, juice is instead directed from the
bottom of the tank through a hose and into a pump, which sends the
wine back to the top of the tank. This version of red wine colorextraction process is called a pump-over.

Before white wine is fermented, grape juice is separated from the


skins as soon as possible by immediately pressing the grapes with
mechanical force to break them open and then pumping juice away
from skins while it is still relatively clear. Even though the skins of
white grapes are light green, yellow, or golden, they may still
contribute color if left in contact with the juice. Some winemakers
extend contact time to extract as much aroma as possible from white
grape skins but not long enough to add too much color or increase
bitterness. The juice from pressing is then sent into a stainless steel
tank and mixed with yeast to start fermentation.
The pressing step is also applied to red winemaking, however it
comes after fermentation finishes, when virtually all sugar is
converted to alcohol. But prior to red wine pressing, an initial
volume of free-run wine is allowed to gravity-flow freely from its
mass of skins and solids. Typically dark purple, it may be a little
cloudy, but relatively clean compared to whats left behind.
Pressing red wine squeezes out the last amounts of wine from the
leftover, skin-rich mass of solids. This dark, press wine is considered
lower quality than free-run wine because of its harsher taste, but the
extent to which it will be added to lighter free-run wine allows the
winemaker to control the intensity of final wine color and texture.

Winegrowing Decisions

BY JOSH STEIN

Winter Fun in the Cellar


Winery operations are year-round, but the
intensity of harvest, which is so dependant
upon time and speed, gives way to a much
more gentle process as our winter rains begin,
cellars get more chilly and damp, and wines
begin to finish their primary and secondary
fermentations and are racked into barrels.
Alternatively, wines fermented in tanks which
are meant to finish those processes in the

barrel are transferred off the gross lees, the


solid by-products of making wine, which
include dead yeast cells and various
nutrients, so as to allow the oaks influence to
be in the mix earlier in the production
process before the wine is even completely
made. Regardless of which route toward oak
reds and some whites take, the reasons for
barreling down involve a slowdown into
cellar time. And thus simultaneously
begins a series of decisions since the choice of
using barrels is just that, a choice, and one
with many subtle logistical and not-so-subtle
cost options available to the winemaker or
cellarmaster.
Before going into those options, lets
review what going into barrel does for a wine.
While almost all reds spend some time in
contact with oak, only some whites do. Oak
imparts an underlying creaminess, and time
in contact with it encourages the softening
malolactic fermentation to begin and to
complete since Oenococcus oeni, the
organism which acutally does the acid shift, is
resident in oak; this serves to soften the
wine since lactic acid is half as strong as malic
(think milk versus apple juice) and provides
perhaps another of the reasons barrels of oak
were chosen for storage in antiquity. Lastly,
tannin formation and interchange takes place
between the barrels and the wine, and time in
barrel in combination with the microoxygenation as the wood breathes serve to
help create a chemically stable, silkier
finished wine. Think of a slowly bobbing tea
bag versus one pushed against the cup with a
spoonthe slower method produces tannins
less rough on the tongue.
With that as context, whether oak has
been used as a primary fermentation vessel or
not, when ready to age in contact with wood,
the wine is transfered either from tank to
barrel or from barrel to barrel. Gravity-fed
wineries do these processes through the
manipulation of space to allow the wine to
literally drain downwards without

mechanical aids; most


other wineries use
pumps of various designs to move wine
horizontally or vertically around their
production spaces into barrels. Some
wineries go the opposite direction,
concatenating their wines into larger lots held
in large oak or redwood vats or steel tanks,
with or without oak stave inserts.
Here is an example of where creativity
and cost realities must meet. A new,
imported barrel is north of $1,000, and that
barrel will be used at most four times for any
discernible oakiness it would impart.
Think of a storm-battered piece of wood,
only whats left in the barrel after wine has
been in it for a year or two resembles more a
dark, yucky wine aquarium than driftwood.
Once exhausted, a barrel can be shaved and
re-coopered for an additional cost, but its
just that, an additional cost which is
dependent on the coopers skills to be done
properly or else the wines stored in the
rejuvenated barrel will take on port-like
overtones. This is why some wineries choose
instead to use older, neutal barrels or small
steel tanks with various kinds of oak
adjuncts like sticks, beads or cubes inserted,
or they will use larger staves with notches,
hanging on a lip around the edge of a large
steel tank.
Fundamentally, as the weather turns, what
is mechanically a simple process separating
liquid from most of the solids from
fermentation becomes a much more
complicated cultural and thus financial
process. How much of a difference this
makes in consumer awareness and
apprecation is, of course, subject to debate.
What is undeniable, however, is the impact of
oak on finished wine and its impact to the
bottom line for the winemaker. Consider
that when next looking at a barrel chai: its
not just a room of wood and liquid its the
recorder of winegrowing decisions (and
costs). Enjoy!

BENNETT LANE WINERY


Cabernet Lovers will Race to Bennett Lane
for a Sneak Peek of their Newest Vintage, February 6th
The first weekend in February is all about Cabernet in the valley as
wineries up and down Highway 29 and the Silverado Trail release
their luscious Napa Cabernets. One of our favorite stops every year is
Bennett Lane Winery in Calistoga, known for its succulent Cabernets,
their signature feasting wine, Maximus, and for one of the finest
visitor experiences in the valley. Founded by Randy and Lisa Lynch in
2003, Bennett Lanes off-the-beaten-track location and friendly tasting
room offers visitors to Napa a secret gem and a great way to learn
aboutand trysome of Napas best wines in a more intimate setting.
On Saturday, February 6th, Bennett Lanes 2013 Napa Valley Cabernet
Sauvignon ($62) and 2013 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon ($102) will
be released and poured for visitors at the tasting rooma special
opportunity to get a sneak peek and taste the wines before they are
released to the public later this year. The cost for the release event is
$30 per person and includes a flight of new releases and select awardwinning library releases.
Bennett Lanes Cabs have continuously garnered critical acclaim. In
the short period that the winery has been opened they have received
an incredible 37 scores of 90+ points between Wine Spectator, Wine
Enthusiast and Robert Parkers Wine Advocate. Year after year, the
popular blend of Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah has received 90 points or
above from the critics. The red feasting wine, as Maximus is
affectionately referred to on the label, demonstrates owners Randy and
Lisa Lynchs commitment to making wine an integral part of
entertaining with family and friends.
Bennett Lanes wines are crafted to be approachable, yet complex
or what owner Randy Lynch calls the best of both worlds, meaning
you can drink them today, but they are structured enough to cellar for
several years. My goal is for us to make consistent winesboth in
quality and tastefrom year to year, so that consumers can trust
14

Bennett Lane wines.


Only twelve years old, Bennett Lane has quickly become one of the
top vintners in the valley and has upgraded their tasting room
offerings to match the amazing accolades that the wines have received
in their first few years. It is fast becoming the must-see destination for
wine lovers visiting Napa Valley. In addition to the elegantly appointed
tasting bar, visitors to the winery can also experience their new
Seated Tasting option. This offering, available the year round,
allows groups of 2-6 people to do a deep dive into the winerys more
exclusive wine offerings under the guidance of a personal wine
specialist. Guests will be greeted upon arrival by their host and seated
at a private table. The specialist will then lead the group through a
tasting of four of Bennett Lanes top-end wines. In this intimate and
relaxed setting (a bit like having a personal wine steward in your own
living room), there will be plenty of time for tasting and exploring
each wine in depth. Moving at a leisurely pace, the personal wine
expert will share the full story on each bottling and answer any
questions regarding winemaking, fruit sourcing, cellaring and more.
Priced at $35 per person, its a classic example of the intimate
hospitality that Bennett Lane is known forcomfortable, relaxed,
informative and above all, friendly.
The standard tasting flight at Bennett Lane on a non-release event
day is $20 and includes four of Bennett Lanes wines, the Cabernet,
Reserve Chardonnay, Maximus and a library red wine selection. Put
Bennett Lane on your short-list of must-visit tasting rooms as the
production is small and the Cabernets sell out quickly. Visiting Bennett
Lane affords tasters another rarity with a small winerya likely run-in
(and perhaps a last minute barrel tasting if youre lucky!) with owners
Randy and Lisa Lynch.
Bennett Lane Winery is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and
is located at3340 Highway 128, approximately two miles north of
Calistoga. For more information, visit the website at
www.bennettlane.com or call (707) 942-6684, 1-877-MAX-NAPA.

HUGE BEAR WINES

HUGE BEAR WINES


1373 Lincoln Avenue, Calistoga, CA 94515
(707) 341-3414 | www.hugebearwines.com
20

For many history buffs, the wine country offers not just spectacular wines and breathtaking
views, but an opportunity to experience the Wild West flavor of the regions origins. Few wine
tasting experiences present a better sense of the past than Huge Bear Wines, located in the historic
Calistoga National Bank building. The setting is a perfect match for the handcrafted wines they
produce.
Founded by the owners of Knights Bridge Winery, the Huge Bear namesake comes from an early
twentieth-century newspaper article chronicling a local Grizzly bear who repeatedly harassed a
Knights Valley Justice of the Peace in the early 1900s. The bear, apparently having little regard for the
judicial branch of the government, made frequent raids on the mans pantry and was never
apprehended for his misdeeds. His rogue nature proved to be motivational for organizers of the Bear
Flag Revolt and earned him a place of honor on the Bear Flag, created to represent the short-lived
Independent Republic of California. Today, the winery channels this story of unbridled, unstoppable
self-direction into its releases.
Huge Bear Wines further represents the rascally bear by adorning their wines with a whimsical
label adapted from Lynd Wards classic Caldecott Medal-winning book, The Biggest Bear. While the
owners of the Huge Bear Wines eschew pretentiousness, dont let the lighthearted approach give you
the impression that Huge Bear wines are anything but seriously delicious. The winery currently
produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Ros, Sauvignon Blanc and a red blend
called Ursa Gigantes, with a Napa Valley Cabernet Franc rounding out the offerings, many of which
have garnered 90+ scores from Connoisseurs Guide and Wine Enthusiast.
Under the guiding hand of winemaker, Meredith Leahy, Huge Bear has gained the attention of
wine enthusiasts worldwide. Initially, it was the science of medicine that captures Leahys heart. But a
visit to a winery in France would change the course of her life. After discovering the science behind
winemaking, she chose to refocus her interest in anatomy to a fascination with viticulture, learning
the art of winemaking at Mumm Napa in 2005. In 2006, Meredith further added to her knowledge

base with a stint at The Hess Collection as a Lab Intern and


Cellar Production Manager. A few years later, she gained more
experience as Lab Manager for Bogle Vineyards. She continued
her vintner education by taking wine classes at U.C. Davis
where she received her certificate in winemaking. In 2009, she
embarked on a three-and-a-half-month harvest abroad trip to
Two Hands Winery in the Barossa Valley of Australia where she
learned distinct winemaking techniques, styles and
philosophies.
Meredith takes a hands-on approach when it comes to
winemaking. I likes to help things along, she said. As we
near harvest time, I visit each vineyard lot daily. Yes,
winemaking is a science, but what were looking for is that
beautiful taste to show the expression of the vineyard and
grapes themselves.
February marks a year since Huge Bear opened its tasting
room to an appreciative audience. Theyre celebrating the
occasion on Presidents weekend (February 13th-15th) with
discounts, two for one tastings, Valentines Day fun and
gamesand, of course, chocolate!
Dont miss this chance to savor magnificent wines, along
with the lore of one of Calistogas most enduring legends.

Unstoppable Thomas Arvid 2016

Theres No Place Like Home Away From Home

Its a Shore Thing Thomas Arvid 2016

Americas Preeminent Painter of Wine, Thomas


Arvid, has a love for Napa Valley that cant be
denied. From his paintings of luscious wine
experiences to his many travels to California Wine
Country, his passion for the people, the wine, and
the vineyards of Napa Valley runs deep.
Painting in his studio cabin nestled in Georgia
and full of southern charm, Arvid enjoys the
simplicity of being surrounded by nature. His
visits to Napa Valley give him that extra bit of
beauty and inspiration as he takes to the easel
during each memory-filled trip. The fresh aroma
of the vineyards does everyones soul good, and
the taste of a newly-released wine and the
celebration of a fruitful harvest with friends keeps
Arvid a frequent visitor to Napa Valley. You could
say that Napa is his home away from homeand
there truly is no other place like it.
The majority of his painting collections share a
distinctive focus on the wines of California. Walk
through North Bay Gallery in Yountville,
California and you will see painting after painting
where Arvid showcases the award-winning
vineyards of Napa Valley, just as you will find in
his personal wine cellar. Just In Case is a great
example of capturing some of his favorite subjects.
His newest painting titled Delightful is available
at North Bay Gallery and features an exquisite
bottle of vintage BRAND from St. Helena
vineyards atop Pritchard Hill. In the great
landscape of California Wine Country, North Bay
22

Gallerylocated at V Marketplace in Yountville


is a beautiful place to enjoy the paintings of
Thomas Arvid. Specializing in North American
artistsincluding a unique array of contemporary
hand blown art glass, jewelry, sculpture, metal
wall art and paintingsArvid is right at home
here.
For Arvid, meeting collectors and catching up
with friends at gallery shows and wine
celebrations is what he loves. He simply says, I
paint wine because I love wine. Art is an excellent
medium for sharing that love with others. I hope
that by exploring my work you get a little closer to
the feeling that you have when youre enjoying a
great glass of wine.
The next opportunity to meet Arvid will be
Friday, February 5, at Yountvilles North Bay
Gallery during his show from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.
Gallery goers will enjoy seeing him paint live in
addition to having the unique opportunity to
purchase an Arvid masterpiece. He will also be
signing a personal note for all who bring home a
painting on this special occasion. Thomas is such
a remarkable artist, says North Bay Gallery
owner, Donna Eremian. He is so talented and has
such an incredible gift. I am always thrilled by
each new Arvid painting and how he captures the
reflections of light in each wine bottle and glass!
After the Friday evening reception at North Bay
Gallery, Arvid will venture on to share in the
festivities of Silver Oaks 2011 Napa Valley

Thomas Arvid

Cabernet Release Day on Saturday, February 6. The relationship between Arvid and Napas
Silver Oak Cellars is something quite special. For more than 15 years, Silver Oak Cellars and
Arvid have come together to reveal a new Arvid signature painting for every new Release Day.
This year, Arvid will present an extremely limited release on metal of his painting titled Its a
Shore Thing. Twice a year, wine lovers gather to commemorate Silver Oaks newest vintage
release with an entire day devoted to savoring delicious wine and exquisite food. Staying true
to the Release Day tradition for over a quarter century, this years festivities will be held at
Silver Oak Oakville Winery in Napa Valley.
Once again, Thomas pushes the envelope by introducing a new printing process called
sublimation by infusing his art images into metal, creating a high-definition effect. Arvids
limited-edition on metal titled Unstoppable was revealed last year, displaying a bevy of
Silver Oak corks that embody the joy of sharing the bounty of the Release Day harvest.
Seeing an Arvid masterpiece on metal is something to behold. The color, tone, and its
richness of depth is an art unto itself.
Napa Valleys Doug Shafer of Shafer Family Vineyards said,
Arvids style is big and bold, with enough selected detail and
Meet Legendary
softness to create a sense of balance this blend of elements is

precisely what winemakers hope to bring to their top vintages.
Arvid is inspired by the life of the vine and the dedication that it
takes to get from grape to glass. Passion and perseverance are
paramount for both the winemaker and the artist. Enjoying their
AT
finished work together results in the most exceptional experience in
art and wine. Sharing a glass of wine and good conversation is at the
heart of everything Arvid does.
In his time in California, a monumental memory was made when
Arvid was honored as the official artist of the First Annual Pebble
Friday, February 5
Beach Food & Wine Festival, featuring his painting titled Ultimate
4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Destination. Capturing the excitement in sampling worldrenowned vintage reserves, this composition takes you back to a
moment in time that will be forever cherished. With the taste, the
aroma, and the company of good friends, Napa Valley is his
Ultimate Destination.
Arvid embodies the art of living graciously with generosity of
spirit. As he says, The good things in lifework that you love,
places you visit, wine that you drinkare best when shared.
Sharing his love of Napa Valley is evident in the cues found within
so many of his masterpieces.
Both his paintings and his heart are generous in size, making for
Exceptional Hand Crafted Works of Art
humble conversations while we all stand in awe of his artistic talent.
Arvid is equally awed by the response to his work: Wine is a great
subject because people are familiar with it; they really connect to it.
My paintings are really the landscapes between people sharing
wineits an honor that my collectors find personal fulfillment in
my work, especially when Im just doing what I love.

GLORIA FERRER CAVES & VINEYARDS


Gloria Ferrer Celebrates its 30th Anniversary in Sonoma
Founding Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards was the fulfillment of a
longtime dream for Jos Ferrer. Joss father, Pedro, dreamed of expanding
the Ferrers tradition of exceptional sparkling wine to the New World, and he
began searching for land in the United States in the 1930s. Jos shared this
dream with his father and sent his own son Pedro, and his family, to
California to lay the foundation for the familys first American winery in the
1980s.
When the Ferrers first came from Barcelona, Spain to Sonoma County in
the 1980s, there was not a single sparkling wine house in Carneros. But the
windswept hills, at the time predominantly home to cattle and sheep
ranches, awoke a familiar inspiration in Jos and Gloria Ferrer. The
Mediterranean climate, sloping hills, and maritime influences, reminiscent of
their native Catalonia, would be ideally suited for Pinot Noir and
Chardonnay, the two most important sparkling wine grapes.
In 1982, they purchased a 160-acre cattle ranch and planted threequarters of their new estate to Pinot Noir vines and the remaining quarter to
Chardonnay. As the first sparkling wine house in Carneros, Gloria Ferrer
Caves & Vineyards opened its doors in 1986 with a new winery designed to
resemble a Catalan farmhouse.
Now 30 years later, Gloria Ferrer encompasses 335 acres, including the
128-acre Circle Bar Ranch, and has expanded the wine portfolio to include
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay estate varietal wines as a complement to the
sparkling wine portfolio.
With a glass of sparkling wine in hand and an incredible view of the
vineyards and the mountains guests will experience the ambiance and
hospitality of one of the most beloved sparkling houses in Sonoma.

single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Emil Tedeschis grandparents
settled in Calistoga in 1919, emigrating from Pisa, Italy. Their son,
Eugene acquired the property that currently houses the winery and
family home in 1951, where he planted the familys first grapevines
among established fruit trees. In 1991, Emil, Eugenes son returned
as steward after cofounding 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. Making wines our
grandparents would be proud of is what we are aiming for.
Traditionally made, old-world wines that can be enjoyed with a
variety of foods, good company, and from your wine cellar for many
years, says Mario Tedeschi, Winemaker.

guided tours followed by tastings for an in-depth experience. Walking


tours last one hour and cover the 121,000 square feet of the castle.
Choose from a variety of tastings or wine-and-food pairings while
enjoying the ambience.
Sterling Vineyards, one of the best-known stops on the Winter in
the Wineries Passport Series and located at 1111 Dunaweal Lane, 300
feet above Calistoga, offers visitors sweeping views and highly
regarded wines. An aerial, solar-powered tram carries visitors from
ground level up to its winery estate modeled after the architecture
found on the Greek island of Mykonos. Visitors will not be
disappointed spending a few hours indulging in its offerings.
Winter in the Wineries Passport program is a great way for
participants to experience both Napa Valley varietals and Calistoga
offerings, said Chris Canning, executive director of the Calistoga
Chamber of Commerce and Welcome Center, which sponsors the
passport series, now in its sixth year. We are excited to welcome
another year of the passport series. Its a great way for visitors to
leisurely explore and sip through the city over the two-month period.
Passports are valued at $300, and are on sale online. Many
participating wineries request that visitors make reservations before
tasting, and a list including those wineries as well as participating
hotels, shops and restaurants is posted on the visitcalistoga.com
website. The website also features short video teasers to introduce
passport holders to the participating wineries.
The passport series is a fun and economic way to break-up the fast
pace of the holiday season or to just get away for a relaxing time in
wine country. Aside from the world-famous wines, Calistoga is known
for its natural geothermal waters, popular spas, upscale dining and
outdoor activities. Its enough for a full and memorable adventure in
the northern Napa Valley.

in turn pass these one-of-a-kind treasures to


their valued customers.
The uniqueness of each Premiere Napa
Valley wine is derived from many facets of
Napa Valley winemaking passions: specific
vineyard, block and even grapevine row
selections; the expression of particular grape
varieties found in varying soil types,
elevations and microclimates; the
characteristics of Napa Valleys 16 nested
appellations; blends of wine not otherwise
available; a particular fermentation or aging
protocol; novel collaborations between
noted winemakers and more. Each bottle of
Premiere Napa Valley wine is hand-labeled,
individually-numbered and signed by the
winemaker, creating additional depth to the
collectability of these distinctive wines.
For members of the trade not able to
attend the Premiere Napa Valley event,
electronic bidding will be open to preregistered licensees anywhere in the world
from Friday, February 19 at 8 a.m. PST
through Saturday, February 20 at 6 p.m.
PST. For more information about how
members of the wine trade can register for
the E-Premiere Napa Valley Online Auction,
visit premierenapawines.com or call the
NVV at (707) 963-3388.
Wine lovers seeking to obtain these rare
examples of Napa Valley winemaking
innovation and creativity for their own
cellars have several options to purchase:

Napa Valley Festival Association, the nonprofit organization that


produces Festival del Sole, announced today that the internationally
acclaimed summer celebration has been renamed Festival Napa
Valley. Recognized as Napa Valleys flagship festival, the annual
performing arts, wine and culinary extravaganza will continue to
showcase the worlds best artists staged in iconic Napa Valley settings.
The 11th annual Festival Napa Valley will take place July 15-24,
2016.
For the past decade, the festival has been a catalyst in
transforming Napa Valley into a cultural destination. Arts lovers from
around the globe return year after year for an extraordinary
experience that only Napa Valley delivers, commented President &
29
CEO Rick Walker. The new name reflects the vital role the festival
now plays in the life of the community.
Over the course of its ten-year history, the festival has made the
arts accessible to all through the presentation of free performances
and the donation of tickets to veterans, seniors and students. It has
become a leading funder of arts education in Napa County schools. In
2015, Festival Napa Valley awarded $275,000 to community arts
organizations, including a grant to underwrite the first-ever arts
education master plan for Napa Valley Unified School District.

The 2016 festival is dedicated to founding board member and


Napa Valley doyenne, Margrit Mondavi. No one better represents
and exemplifies the philanthropic spirit and the passion for art,
music, food and wine that Margrit and the festival share, stated
Board Chairman Timothy Blackburn. Several special events in Margrit
Mondavis honor will take place at Festival Napa Valley this summer.
The 2016 festival schedule will be announced in early March. For
more information, visit www.festivalnapavalley.org. Follow @napafest
on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Eighth Street Wineries Sonoma
announces their highly anticipated
2016 Annual Open House
happening Saturday, February 27 from
12 noon to 4:00 p.m. Park once and
stroll through the cellars of some of
Sonoma Countys premier wineries.
Off the beaten path, yet just five
minutes from Sonoma Plaza, six
wineries open their cellars for a special
afternoon of tastings and pairings. This
annual event allows them to showcase
some amazing wines just for you and
offers you a chance to support local
artisan wineries. And, it only happens
once a year! Stroll through cellars,
glass in hand and savor various
pairings by local chefs. Its likely youll
meet the winemakers themselves in this intimate settinga unique
opportunity, as many of these special gem wineries are typically
closed to the public. Get a behind-the-scenes look at our production
facilities while enjoying the rare small-batch wines produced on site.
This is a special occasion for any wine lover.

Follow us on Twitter @WineCountryTW

Advance tickets may be purchased at


eighthstreetwineries.com. Tickets will
also be available at the door of each
participating winery on the day of the
event. Tickets are $40 in advance, $45 at
the door, which includes a wine tasting
glass and access to all participating
wineries event, food and wine pairings
and activities. A Designated Driver ticket
is also available for $10. Tickets, detailed
event information and a map may be
obtained at the door of participating
wineries. Six participating wineries are
Enkidu Wines, Patz & Hall, Stone Edge
Farm, Tin Barn Vineyards, Talisman
Wines and Ty Caton Vineyards.
We look forward to this event every
year. It gives us, along with those not
normally open to the public, the opportunity to open up our cellar

LOXTON CELLARS
Have a Walkabout
Loxton Cellars produces premium wines from outstanding vineyard sites, made
personally by Chris Loxton, owner and winemaker. The wines showcase the
varietal and the vineyard in which they were grown. Since the character of the
wine is determined by the vineyard, he walks these vineyards during the year to
determine the best site to harvest the grapes for his hand-crafted wines. The
grapes are usually picked at night and gently hand-processed to maintain the best
quality. The primary focus for the winery is Syrah, Zinfandel and Cabernet
Sauvignon, and small quantities of other wines are made that are sold primarily
through the wine club.
Growing up in the Riverland of South Australia, Chris was raised around the
family vineyard at Moorook and he is the fourth generation involved in growing
grapes. After studying at U.C. Davis, he honed his harvest experience skills at local
wineries. Chris founded his own winery in 1996 to specialize in limited and handcrafted, ultra-premium Syrah wines. His father and grandfather grew Syrah
(Australians call it Shiraz) and other Rhone varieties and that experience became a
natural focus for him.

Wines that Show Balance and a Sense of Place


Loxton Cellars sources premium fruit from eight vineyards throughout Sonoma
Valley, Sonoma Coast and Sonoma County where Chris can be personally involved
in the farming. These vineyards have superb soils, microclimates and sites that
give the opportunity to produce distinctive wines. It has always been the intent of

Loxton Cellars to produce hand-made wines that show balance and a


sense of place and to produce the best wines possible without
compromise, Chris said.
Join the Boomerang Wine Club at Loxton Cellars and enjoy the
benefits of special bottle offerings, discounts on wine purchases and
private event invitations. You will receive advance notice of wine and port
releases and personalized tours and tastings for you and your guests,
maybe a walkabout, too.
White Wine: Chardonnay, Hawk Hill Vineyard (Russian River Valley).
Red Wines: Syrah from The Estate and from Rossi Ranch (Sonoma
Valley), Kick Ranch (Sonoma County) and Griffins Lair (Sonoma
Coast). Pinot Noir from Griffins Lair (Sonoma Coast). Zinfandel from
Rossi Ranch (Sonoma Valley) and Stonetree Vineyard (Sonoma County).
Cabernet Sauvignon from McGraw Vineyard (Sonoma Valley) Port
(from the Estate in Sonoma Valley).
Red Blends: The Pioneer Cuvee and Sonoma Reds are multi-varietal
blends.
Each harvest I think about the challenges and then make my plan to
make the perfect wine. Then, of course, nature takes a different path and
Im left to change the game plan. What doesnt change is the commitment
to make the best wine possible; to make no compromise, and to hold the
goal that the wine should reflect the vineyard and the vintage, Chris
explained. Nine of his wines were entered in the Sonoma County Harvest
Fair in 2015 with each winning a medal including three gold medals. His
game plan seems to be working.
Stop by today and experience distinctive and personally crafted wines
by Chris at Loxton Cellars in Glen Ellen. Have a walkabout and find out
whats new and take home some Loxton Syrah, Zinfandel and Port to
share with your friends and family.

Twisted Roots Celebrates National Drink Wine Day all Weekend Long
Celebrate February 19th, 20th and 21st
Twisted Roots Carmel Valley Tasting
Room at Lyons Head Gallery, 12 Delfino
Place in the heart of the valley is open
Friday through Sunday from 12:00 p.m. to
5:00 p.m. The tasting room pours wines
created from estate grapes on vines first
planted in Lodi in 1918. Did you know the
winerys name came from a twisted root that
the family dug up from the vineyard?
Hey wine lovers! February 18th is
National Drink Wine Day. The tasting room
is not open on Thursday, February 18th so
owners Josh and Julie Ruiz have decided to
celebrate all weekend long! Stop by the
Tasting Room on Friday, Saturday or Sunday,
February, 19-21. This is when they will be
celebrating by spreading the love and health
benefits of wine. The first 10 wine tasters
each day get a free wine tasting. If you are
not an early bird and dont make the first 10
wine tasters dont worry. The tasting room
will offer two-for-one tastings all weekend!
Celebrate National Drink Wine Day all
weekend long with the team at Twisted Roots
Tasting Room!

Certified Green Growers


At Twisted Roots, they believe in letting
the grapes speak for themselves. Partner
Josh Ruiz, representing partners Ross
Schmiedt and Mike Hodge, stated that, We
feel that our work in the vineyard is the
genesis for the flavor and overall complexity
of our wines. As Lodi Certified Green
Growers we follow sustainable farming
practices throughout the entire winemaking
process.
The certification of Twisted Roots as a
green grower includes two components: The
Lodi Rules practice standards, and a Pesticide
Environmental Assessment System that
measures the impact of all organic and
synthetic pesticides used during the year.
The vineyard is audited annually by a third
party to verify farming practices, and may
not exceed a maximum number of points
calculated using the system.
Follow us on Twitter @WineCountryTW

Among the Certified Sustainable Practices


are the following:
Integrated Pest Management: Twisted
Roots limits crop protection to only
essential measures, and creates and
maintains a habitat for natural enemies of
certain pests. For example, the family
plants specific types of grasses in its 1918
Old Vine Zinfandel vineyard to help attract
beneficial insects.
Air Quality Control: Twisted Roots plants
cover crops of native grasses in and around
its vineyards to minimize dust, and limits
tractor usage to reduce air pollution and
conserve energy.
Land Stewardship: The family integrates
the management of the vineyards with the
ecosystem by providing riparian zones,
maintaining vernal pools, protecting
wildlife habitat, and installing nesting
boxes for birds and bats. To combat a
growing problem of coyotes chewing up
irrigation pipes, workers began leaving
buckets of water for the coyotes. Now the
coyotes eat the rodents, leaving the
irrigation alone.
Water Management: Vineyard workers
constantly monitor soil moisture and
measure the vines water needs. They
regulate water usage through careful
irrigation scheduling, and constantly
maintain and service irrigation systems to
ensure maximum efficiency.
Health: Believing that healthy soil leads to
great wines, Twisted Roots adds organic
matter by planting cover crops and by
utilizing compost. Experts control fertilizer
and irrigation to maximize nutrition in the
soil, which results in higher quality, more
concentrated fruit. Each year analysts run
soil and plant tissue tests to determine the
needs of the vineyard.

Human Resources: People are the


foundation of great sustainably grown
wines. Twisted Roots workers receive
comprehensive training and development
that enables them to perform their jobs
safely and maximize their ability for yearround employment.
The Twisted Roots family creates a
sustainable vision for the farm that provides
the foundation for sustainable winegrowing.
This philosophy helps ensure the long-term
health, biodiversity and productivity of the
farm and the surrounding ecosystem. All of
the Twisted Roots farming practices can be
evaluated to determine whether they move
the vineyard toward or away from this vision.
In the end, sustainability keeps the
Twisted Roots family close to its land, and
helps ensure that future generations will get
to enjoy that land and all of its bounty.

Twisted Roots Philanthropy


For every bottle sold, Twisted Roots
donates a portion of the proceeds to the ALS
Foundation for research into ALS (Lou
Gehrigs disease). Our partner and creator of
the Twisted Roots brand is afflicted with ALS.
Additionally, Twisted Roots donates money
to MEarth and its Hilton Bialek Habitat at
Carmel Middle School. As Josh said, Twisted
Roots wants to make good quality wine and
give back to their communities."

Where to Purchase and Taste Wines:


You can have a full tasting in Carmel
Valley at 12 Del Fino Place, (831) 594-8282
or in Lodi by appointment, (916) 300-2416.
The Twisted Roots Vineyard label started
with a Petite Sirah in 2005 by Ross, after
experimenting in the basement of the
original farmhouse. In 2009, we began
commercial production and expanded our
offerings to include other varietals grown on
the estate. Winemaking was moved
subsequently from the old farmhouse to our
partners at Estate Crush. Petite Sirah
continues to be our flagship wine; we also
offer Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and
Old Vine Zinfandel.

The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards uses locally grown organic
ingredients and features ingredient-driven California wine

American dishes, it is influenced by French and Italian provincial
cuisine. The seasonal menu changes daily, utilizing produce from
The Restaurants organic garden.
Wente Vineyards is also the only winery in Livermore Valley to
offer a championship 18-hole public golf course.
Family, food, entertainment, and of course, the wines beckon
visitors to experience the legacy that is Wente Vineyards.

GREENVILLE ROAD

Livermore Valley, with its rich heritage and variety of wine


tasting experiences, should be a top destination that people
consider when planning their next wine country getaway. As the
countrys oldest, continuously operated, family-owned winery

would be a good place to start the journey. The winery, led by
fourth and fifth generation family members, has clearly proven
their leadership both in winegrowing and in being one of
Californias premier wine country destinations.
