More Than 250 Quality Wines

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

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Topel Winery Tasting Room – Always a Fun Adventure

With its outstanding wine portfolio and prime location just steps
off Healdsburg Plaza, Topel Winery Tasting Room is a top destination
for wine country visitors and the local crowd of “townies.”
Proprietors Mark and Donnis Topel – along with their friendly
tasting room staff – make wine tasting a fun adventure every day, but
they are also known for hosting a variety of special events. Any given
weekend you might find live music drifting out the open windows or
free appetizers floating through the crowd at the bar (Donnis is a
former pastry chef!).
One of the most popular events Topel hosts every year is its annual
“Love and Meritage” blending party, usually held on or near Valentine’s
Day. Under Mark’s direction, couples gather to learn about the art of
blending wine – and use their knowledge to create
their own signature blend, which is bottled for
them on the spot.
“Blended wines as a category are one of the are made from fruit grown exclusively at the Topel

Both the Topel “Le Mariage” Meritage and the Topel Estate Blend to the sun, wind and rain. “It’s like points in a compass,” said Mark.
“Grapes from the same clone and root stock develop unique tastes
from each different exposure, adding to the complexity of the final
wine blend.”
Mark describes the Topel Meritage as a classic Bordeaux blend.
“The combination and synergies of the grape varieties (Merlot,
Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc) really
emphasize core fruit flavors – from deep black fruits and chocolate
overtones to bright red cherry fruit flavors,” Mark said.
Meanwhile, the Topel Estate Blend, which is dominated by Syrah
and Cabernet Sauvignon, with a smidgeon of Petit Verdot and Merlot,
is modeled after one of Donnis’ favorite wines of all time (other than
Topel wines, of course!) – Penfolds Grange Hermitage from Australia.
If the vintage is right, Mark has also been known to craft a Super
Tuscan blend which is simply named “Mark’s Blend.” This robust wine
is made predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese.
While varietal wines (those with a minimum of 75% of a single
grape variety) have been the focus over the last couple of decades, it’s
frequently the blended wines that garner top honors when the major
wine reviewers publish their “best wines of the year” every December.
“People like blended wines. They enjoy the different tastes. And
even though a wine might be marketed as a specific varietal, such as
Cabernet Sauvignon or Zinfandel, if you look at the label, you’ll
frequently see that it’s actually a blend, with small amounts of other
varieties added in for taste and structure,” Mark said.
“Wine drinkers are looking for something new and blended wines
offer variation. That’s why our blending parties have been so
successful,” Mark said. “People have a lot of fun and they learn at the
same time. Most of them have an innate sense of balance and good
taste, which takes them in interesting directions. A couple of years ago,
one of the blends created at the party was so good that I have to admit
something – I copied it!” he said with a laugh.
Topel Winery Tasting Room is located at 125 Matheson Street in
Healdsburg, just across from the Oakville Grocery. It is open daily from
11 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, call (707) 433-4116 or go

Louis M. Martini Fourth of July Celebration
What better occasion to celebrate fine wine tasting than to combine
it with a memorable festive event on the Fourth of July? Louis M.
Martini observes its 15th annual Fourth of July celebration this year
with a magnificent evening hosted by Winemaker Michael Martini
himself. The party begins at 7 p.m with a tasting of some of Michael’s
newly-released wines and hors d’oeuvres from several of St Helena’s
famed restaurants, accompanied by live music in the winery’s gardens.
The dinner theme is appropriate to the all-American celebration: a
Napa BBQ dinner catered by Knickerbocker Catering Company,
featuring locally-grown, sustainably-farmed ingredients.
But wait, there’s more. You can’t have a Fourth of July without fire-
works, and the climax of the dinner at Louis M. Martini is one of the
greatest fireworks displays in Northern California, where you can
enjoy a glorious spectacle with a prime viewing position in the winery
grounds. There are still tickets available for this unique winery event,
a great way to enjoy a special evening with family and friends. Tickets
are priced at $110 for general admission and $85 for Founder’s Club
members. Call the wine club office at 1-866-549-2582 for more infor-
mation and to reserve your tickets.
You don’t have to wait until the Fourth of July to enjoy Michael’s
fine wines. Visit the winery’s well-appointed tasting room at 254 S. St.

Casa Nuestra produces their Meritage wine in the style of
France’s Bordeaux Region’s Right bank, which is predominantly
Merlot. “The Merlot we use in the Meritage is from our estate’s
organic vineyards in St. Helena located on the valley floor and
boasts a dry riparian soil. I think this makes the fruit more intense
than one would expect from a Merlot. We blend in Cabernet Sauvi-
gnon and Cabernet Franc to make this rich full-bodied Bordeaux
style blend,” says Rigoberto Nava, Casa’s Cellar Master and Vine-
yard Manger. The Meritage, along with all the other varietal wines
Casa Nuestra produces, are bottled in such small quantities that
they are only available directly from the winery or through Club
Casa Membership.

unusual blends. They keep the estate’s organic vineyards and

Winemaker Profile: Hagafen Cellars
ERNIE WEIR
‘Family, Tradition, Excellence’
By Charles Neave
“Passion, soul, and enjoyment – without all three, you don’t have a
fine wine.” Those are the words of Ernie Weir – Hagafen Cellars co-
founder and veteran winemaker of 32-plus years.
Hagafen Cellars has carved out an envious niche for itself in a very
competitive industry. Their wines have been served at the White
House any number of times, under both parties, proving that wine is
conveniently apolitical. As proof of this, on two walls of the comfort-
able tasting room are framed letters and menus from the White House.
Elsewhere in the tasting room, which is surrounded on three sides by
vines and backed up by the tin-sided winery (the crush pad is around
back), are stacked cases of wine, walls of well-deserved gold medal
awards and a curved tasting bar that, with its wood-stave-like front,
looks like a section of a very large oak wine barrel.
On many days the winery cat, Lola, can be found nearby, watching
lazily as more people become acquainted with one of the bottled trea-
sures of the Napa Valley.
Founded in 1979 by Ernie and Irit Weir – their first vintage was
1980 – the wines that they make at this small family-owned winery are
exceptional examples of the winemaker’s craft, including their
Bordeaux-style blend, the much sought after Prix Hagafen, a highly
regarded red blend.
Hagafen wines also include their multiple-gold-winning Napa
Valley Sauvignon Blanc, a food-friendly Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc,
Merlot, Pinot Noir and Syrah, some surprising Rieslings (one made
with fruit from Lake County to the northeast), Roussanne, Zinfandel
and Cabernet Sauvignon and the Prix Vineyards Reserve Late Harvest
White Riesling. Many of these are estate-bottled.
Situated on the Valley’s scenic Silverado Trail, between two of the
Valley’s most respected appellations – the Stags Leap and Oak Knoll has said.

Welcome to
CALISTOGA
OLD FAITHFUL GEYSER
by Christin Piccin
When wine touring has tired you out, take a short detour from
Highway 29 beneath the lofty peak of Mt. St. Helena, for a nature
break at Old Faithful Geyser of California.
Just outside Calistoga, the Geyser’s peaceful garden “theater” is
ringed with tall grasses and feathery-leafed bamboo. In anticipation of
the imminent eruption, I found a shady seat at one of the many picnic
tables scattered about and closed my eyes. Only the songs of chirping
birds who were secreted away in the bamboo, were evident. Suddenly,
though, there was an ominous, throaty rumble. My eyes popped open.
The geyser was coming to life.
Centered in a small, grass-hemmed pond, the geyser had begun
coughing puffs of steam which dissolved into the warm afternoon air.
Then it started to gurgle and bubble like a witch’s cauldron. Suddenly
it sent up a few spurts three or four feet high.
After a few minutes of playful squirting, it erupted. It was as if
someone had opened a fire hydrant straight into the sky. A column of
350-degree hot water spouted from the rocky source, backlit by the
sun. As it peaked, the steaming water fanned out into miniscule leaving the pond as calm and serene as it was before the show began.
droplets that fell like shimmering diamond dust then disappeared, Hot springs and steam vents are numerous but there are only a
handful of geysers in the world that can be relied on to erupt
predictably and repeatedly. Old Faithful Geyser of California is one of
those.
Geyser owner Olga Kolbek, who has logged the geyser’s activity
since 1983, noticed a surprising link between the geyser’s eruptions
and earthquakes. While the geyser spouts off at 40-minute intervals
most days, subsequent studies by seismologists have revealed that
California’s Old Faithful goes off schedule when earthquakes activity
is imminent. The geyser’s eruptions come farther apart and decrease in
size, coinciding with earthquakes within 300 miles in the next few
days.
Kolbek delights in sharing her vast knowledge of the geyser and of
local history, and is available by appointment for private tours. Like-
wise, a series of panels scattered through the garden area, plus a video
room explain the mysteries of California’s Old Faithful. The geyser is
located at 1299 Tubbs Lane off Hwy. 29 in Calistoga and is open 9 a.m.
to 6 p.m., every day of the year. For more information, call (707) 942-
6463 or visit www.oldfaithfulgeyser.com.
