INTELLIGENCE FOr THE WINE CONSUMEr

BY LEN NAPOLITANO
What foods match best with dessert wines?

Theres an old rule that says sweet foods should be served with sweet wines. But I find this rule to work less often than when I match salty food with sweet wines. On those rare occasions when sweet wine is paired successfully with sweet food, it is usually the wine that is the sweeter of the two. If the food is sweeter than the wine, the wine tastes flat and thin. When the subject of pairing food and wine is approached, there are always classic marriages that are raised and pairing food with sweet wines is no exception. One legendary pairing is Port wine with Stilton and other blue cheeses. This is a perfect example of a sweet and powerful wine balanced by a rich, aromatic cheese. Another great duo is Sauternes and foie gras. In this example it is the fat of the goose liver that is complemented by the sweetness and viscosity of the famous wine from Bordeaux, France. Another great companion of
SEDANS
Sauternes is the intense spicy flavor of Roquefort cheese. Just as with pairing dry table wines with meals, the pairing of dessert wines should take into consideration the intensity, weight and texture of the accompanying food. Light dessert dishes work best with light, crispy white wines. Heavier, richer desserts deserve fuller bodied sweet wines, usually red, as with Vintage Port, but sometimes a full-bodied white wine also works, as in the case of Sauternes. Some lightweight sweet white wines include Moscato and Late Harvest Riesling. Prices for these wines can start as low as $10 a bottle. The more intensely flavored versions will be sold in halfbottles and run slightly higher in price. Sauternes is extremely expensive, especially from older vintages. This wine is handcrafted with only the best quality grapes available, and only in years that yield grapes that meet the highest standards of the fine winemakers of Bordeaux.

Picking Decisions: Whites

When we think of the components of a finished white wine, what comes to mind? For me, I think of bouquet, level of fruitiness, acidity, mouthfeel, presence or absence of oak and level of residual sweetness. With this list of components at hand, every wine can be reverseengineered in terms of series of decisions made with those end goals in mind. This is why the truism, Everything we do or do not do has an effect on the final wine is, indeed, a truism, not a clich. We say it to ourselves as a reminder so as not to get lazy or take for granted each and every step of winemaking. When we start to make picking decisions, there seem to be lots of variables, like variety, Brix (sugar) levels, maturity for depth of flavor and color, upcoming weather, etc., but I start with the processing in mind: is this going into steel or oak or something else like concrete or food-grade plastic? Why start there amongst all the other angles into picking? Because of what is trying to be emphasized based on the fermentation vessel. If we are using steel or another non-wood tank, then we are seeking to preserve aroma, keep higher acids and develop a more citrusy, grassy or minerally final wine. Think of an all-steel Chardonnay, a Sauvignon Blanc or a Pinot Gris and youll get the idea of why we pick earlier and are less concerned about what is developing on the skins: skin contact is going to be as minimal as possible, generally, and the wines are going to be kept away from oxygen and produced through low temperatures to preserve freshness. If, however, we are seeking to give extended skin contact ala orange wines or extended lees and oak contact to impart body and fullness (think oaky, buttery Chardonnay, for example), then we are going to pick at different ripenesses, at different Brix, and after longer hanging as the results we are looking for in the grapes come about only through those decisions. Then, because we want that contact continued through fermentation and beyond, oak is usually used in some form to add depth and body as well as help to start or nurture secondary, malolactic fermentation because those bacteria are resident in oak, and thus produce a transformation of citrus notes into apple, pear, peach and other tropical fruits in the finished wine. If an oak influence on aroma and a hint on the tongue are desired without any creaminess, juice separated from the lees via racking from vessel to vessel, ala a gravy strainer, will be paired with oak adjuncts of any number of kinds, which allow for quite exact recipes based on volumes and hours or days of exposure. Conversely, if a strong mouthfeel of time in contact with lees and oak are desired, the juice and lees together go into oak barrels, and length of time, stirring the lees, and toasting level of the oak all have an impact on the final wine. Residual sugar is actually something which is easy to control if the winemaking is detail-oriented. Fermentation is never the same twice, but each and every one can and must be tracked for temperature, yeast health, amounts and kinds of nutrients, Brix and alcohol, and other leading indicators of how well and how fast the conversion of sugars to alcohols and malic to lactic acid, if applicable, is happening. Arresting the fermentation, pulling the emergency break, if you will, is generally done through shutting down the temperature and adding enough sulfites to knock out the yeast. Its more of a coast than a dead stop, but attention to the numbers and experience usually produce desired results. Fine winemaking is very much akin to fine cooking and baking, so its no wonder the two go hand in hand in wine country. We strive through our winegrowing, like the chef who grows and raises her own flora and flauna, to produce fantastic ingredients for which we have recipes developed through education, time in others cellars and experience. The next time you sip a white, think about what decisions were or were not made, and consider, too, what you would have done the same or differently had the recipe bezen yours to tweak. Enjoy!

Learn about the history and viticulture of William Hill and the remarkable growing conditions that make the Silverado Bench unique. The Vineyard Experience App also allows you to peruse a map of the estate, take photos in the vineyard and visit William Hill Estates online store. Personally, the feature I like best is the ability to seamlessly snap and share pictures of your experience on Facebook and Twitter. The tour culminates with a tasting of some of William Hill Estates best wines.

Sara Fowler joined Peju as their Winemaker in the summer of 2006, bringing a wealth of knowledge and creativity into the cellar. Saras passion for Bordeaux varietals and knack for innovative blending make her the perfect fit to lead Pejus winemaking team. She is a master blender, and has headed Pejus efforts to gain organic certification in the Rutherford Vineyard and is overseeing the winerys sustainable farming efforts in the Persephone and Wappo Vineyards with organic certification in the near future. Sara has traveled the world representing the Napa Valley as a speaker, guest panelist, trainer and wine educator and currently lives in St. Helena with her husband, Matt, and three sons.
WCTW: Whats your favorite local restaurant and what draws you there? oC: I love the Ravenette. The menu is hand-written every day and they use only fresh local ingredients. There is always a vegetarian option and the space is intimate and welcoming. The kitchen is open so you get a good view of the food preparation and the service is friendly yet professional. WCTW: What other places do you like to hang out? oC: Bravas has done a fabulous job with their back patio and the atmosphere is casual yet refined. I am a dedicated fan of Willis Wine Bar in Santa Rosa for their extensive list of BTG wines and availability of small pours. I also just had an exceptionally good experience at the new Kendall-Jackson restaurant Par Take. A fun concept and great opportunity to explore the depth of the KJ portfolio. Rosso in Santa Rosa is fantastic as well, I really appreciate the niche they have carved for themselves and they give the kids a ball of dough with which to play then bake it for them very endearing and appreciated. WCTW: Whats your favorite place to picnic? oC: I am a tremendous fan of the trails around Lake Sonoma; the Half a Canoe trail offers spectacular views, a challenging hike, great animal watching and beautiful vegetation. WCTW: Who is your favorite artist or style of art? oC: Traditionally speaking I adore Maxfield Parrish. There is an ethereal quality to his work in sort of a fairytale/mythological vibe. On a more quirky note I am completely enamored of the collage artist Hope Krolls work; very edgy but thought-provoking. WCTW: Whats your favorite extracurricular activity? oC: Hiking or maybe biking; just being outdoors and active.

The estate farm is in the process of planting massive, working vegetable and herb gardens, and patios, where garden parties and events will be held. Guests will be able to see chefs pluck fresh ingredients to be used in the cuisine being served a real farm-totable experience.

AHWAHNee HoTeL
Thanks for Giving Us Vintners Holidays
Thanksgiving isnt the only great holiday in November. For food and wine lovers, November means its time for a different fall festival that embodies Americas natural bounty to an even greater extent. Its called Vintners Holidays at Yosemite National Park. Celebrating 32 years in 2013, Vintners Holidays brings authentic vintners not sales reps together with Yosemites guests, and the result is a top-shelf festival of good times and great wines. Whats even more special about the event is that all the action takes place inside the legendary Four-Diamond Ahwahnee hotel in the heart of Yosemite Valley. The idea for Vintners Holidays was inspired by Californias plentiful vineyards and the winemakers who tend to them with self-sacrificing devotion. Guests choose from six sessions that run from November 11 to December 6 and are treated to an intimate welcome reception with the sessions vintners, a series of wine-tasting seminars and a divine five-course gala dinner. Executive Chef Percy Whatley and the Ahwahnee Culinary Team design the custom gala menu to pair perfectly with the sessions featured wines. So not only is the atmosphere stunning, but the flavors are equally world class. With Yosemites fall colors as a backdrop, each year this event attracts more than 20 talented winemakers who are crafting some of Californias finest wines. Youll find iconic labels such as Silver Oak and Rombauer sprinkled throughout the sessions. Another fine example, the first session of 2013 (November 1112) features Frank Ostini and Gray Hartley of Hitching Post Wine, who are local celebrities on the Central Coast. Their exposure exploded since the release of the movie Sideways, and their variety of excellent Pinots make them a hot ticket. Session two (November 1314) will be hosted by Evan Goldstein, who

Caymus Vineyards Purchases Vineyard, Winery Site in Solano County

Caymus Vineyards in Rutherford, Napa Valley has recently purchased a 178-acre site and submitted permit plans for a winery, production and warehouse facility along Cordelia Road, south of Fairfield, California. If approved, the build-out would be constructed in phases, with completion slated for 2016 or 2017. Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet wines will remain Napa Valley fruit. But as members of the Wagner family explore new wines and new wine growing regions, a new winery in Solano county will be constructed. The site is located eight minutes from Napa, quite close to the home winery in the Napa Valley and will be home to production-related traffic and located in closer proximity to the four lane highways. Owner Chuck Wagner states, Vineyards positioned strategically within our maritime climate of California are the core of Wagner quality, yet some areas of the winemaking process can be best performed elsewhere. In our own small way, we will be helping protect the iconic Napa Valley by reducing truck traffic caused by bottling and supply deliveries. Vineyard land has been protected as an agricultural preserve since 1968 and it is about time that our two lane highway system has some equal consideration. With 35,000 acres of manicured vineyards Napa Valleys monoculture and life blood is wine. Tourism allows window shopping of this most exceptional valley and there is no wine region on earth more intriguing than the Napa Valley it has become a must see destination in the U.S.A. The Napa Valley should be protected and every little bit helps our limited truck traffic included. In addition, I am excited to discover the wine potential of Napas neighboring county of Solano. Right under our nose exists a relatively untapped maritime region where a winemakers imagination can still run wild. An interesting side note is that Wagners ancestors acquired 70 acres of Napa land in 1858, then bought an additional 150 acres of land in Solano County in 1861. This family began farming in Napa and Solano counties about 150 years ago and today they are proud to showcase a collection of wines that have a reputation for quality and consistency, sourced from the premiere wine growing regions of California. The Wagner Family of Wine has proven they are clear leaders as they are the only winery in the world to have been awarded the title of Wine of the Year by Wine Spectator twice, for their Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon. Their desire to do something truly special and make the finest wines they can, drives them to try new techniques, refine practices, and continue to improve the quality of their wines.

Peju Province Winery Celebrates Harvest

BY CHArLES NEAVE
It depends on which way youre looking when you turn off Highway 29 in Rutherford. Straight down the drive is the stucco and stone 50-foot French Provincial-looking tower with its large antique stained glass window in the tasting room. It is also the same tower you see on every label of their Peju Province estate wine. Sitting on top of the weathered copper roof is one indication that what you are entering is a charming mix of fantasy and reality. It is a unicorn weathervane. Look to either side and vineyards stretch out into the distance. After you park you are confronted with fountains, a calm reflecting pool and a profusion of carefully designed and tended plantings. This should come as no surprise when it comes to founder Tony Peju. From the time he came into the world at the family home on the Caspian Sea, then later in France, England and Southern California, agriculture, in all of its various forms, has been central to his life. When he and his wife founded Peju in 1982, his decision to buy this particular 30-acre parcel came down to one thing: location. A mantra heard everywhere in wine country. Today, Peju Province remains a small, family owned and operated winery that stresses organic and sustainable farming practices. Our estate-grown fruit develops into wines that exhibit a graceful pairing of power and elegance, is a phrase you often hear. If you want a real winery experience then the Peju Annual Grape Stomp on Saturday August 24, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. is the place to be. Gather your friends for a day you will be talking about for years to come. Youll enjoy a welcome taste of wine and a continental breakfast when you get there and then its off to Stomping Man for the grape stomp and BBQ in a vineyard location with a glass of Peju Provence at hand. All of this for just $75. If you want elegance, make plans to attend the Peju 30th Anniversary Harvest Celebration under the Stars on Saturday, September 21, from 6 p.m. until the music stops at 10:30 p.m. The Peju family invites you to share in this intimate celebration, which they promise will be filled with special selections from the cellar, a bountiful meal prepared by Chef Emily Buller in the Peju Kitchen and dancing to live music under the stars. Black and Red Wine Country cocktail attire is recommended and the tariff is $215 per person. Stomp grapes or tap your feet to music, the choice is yours. Just be sure to mark your calendar and get your stomping boots, or your dancing shoes, ready for action. Peju Province is located at 8466 St Helena Hwy, Rutherford 94573. They are online at www.peju.com; their phone number is 1-800-4467358. The beautiful and friendly tasting room with its wide variety of tasting options and an extensive list of both red and white wines is open daily 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Note that some special tastings require reservations. They are also on Facebook and Twitter.

WCTW: Describe the perfect day in wine country. TJ: Light breakfast at Sweetie Pies in Downtown
Napa; Pick up lunch at Genovas Deli; Round Pond Winery and Olive Oil Mill; Rutherford Hill Winery for wine tasting and picnic lunch overlooking the valley; cave tour at Schramsberg Winery; Robert Biale Vineyards wrap the day up with some of the best Zin in the industry! WCTW: Whats your favorite overall varietal and where do you like to go to taste it? TJ: Living in the Napa Valley, there is only one logical choice here: Cabernet Sauvignon! Silver Oak Cellars,: the original cult winery, 100% American oak, great stuff! WCTW: What winery do you think has the best over-the-top experience to offer visitors? TJ: Palmaz Winery: This experience will be a memory for life must do. WCTW: Where would you take friends to learn about/taste organic wines? TJ: Frogs Leap Winery is the true pioneer in this category. WCTW: Who is your favorite new winery or hot spot wine bar/tasting room? TJ: Odette Estate Winery in the Stags Leap District. Its all three; a winery, a wine bar and a tasting room great staff, fair pricing and excellent wines: Odette, Plumpjack and Cade are all available here. Also, its less than ten minutes from downtown Napa. WCTW: Tell us the best wineries to bring pets. TJ: With more than 100 wineries posting dogfriendly signs in the Napa Valley, most dogs would be in heaven on any visit to the Napa Valley. However, Rombauer Vineyards would top this list. Long history of dog lovers there!
WCTW: If you were to visit just one winery,

which would you choose and why? JL: Its difficult to answer this question because there are so many amazing wineries, but If I had to chose one winery it would have to be Darioush. From the moment you enter the gate, you are transported into an amazing experience: the impressive architecture, world-class wines and the impeccable service. WCTW: Which winery has your favorite cave tour? JL: Schramsberg WCTW: Whats your favorite overall varietal and where do you like to go to taste it? JL: My ultimate varietal would be Pinot Noir and I would either go to Artesa or Domaine Carneros. WCTW: Where do you send guests that want to learn about wine? JL: I think Robert Mondavi has one of the best educational programs. WCTW: Where would you take friends to learn about/taste organic wines? JL: Frogs Leap WCTW: What areas and/or wineries would you recommend that are not part of the popular wine country? JL: The Russian River Valley WCTW: Tell us the best wineries to bring pets. JL: Landmark, Artesa and Chateau Montelena WCTW: Which winery has your favorite cave/cellar tour? JL: Schramsberg WCTW: Whats the best wine country picnic spot? JL: Pride Mountain Vineyards
WCTW: Describe the perfect day in wine country. TW: Begin at Downtown Bakery in Healdsburg
for breakfast, their sticky buns and croissants are a must. A nice walk around town afterward is always refreshing. I would then head into Russian River Valley to explore some Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Copain on Eastside Road is a must-do for Pinot Noir and Syrah, then Iron Horse for bubbles. In downtown Sebastopol my new favorite watering hole is Claypool Cellars. The tasting room is set in an old train car in the middle of Gravenstein Station. Continue on to the coast to Bodega Head for the stunning cliff side view. After stopping at a local kite shop and taking it to play at Goat Rock, I would round the coastal experience with dinner at Rivers End Restaurant in Jenner right around sunset time. To end the evening, get a nightcap at the hip Spoonbar in downtown Healdsburg. WCTW: Whats the best wine country picnic spot? TW: Gustufson by Lake Sonoma is one of my absolute favorites. This hidden gem winery has breathtaking views and for the architectural enthusiast, the house has a Frank Lloyd Wright style to it. They also offer fantastic wines at a great price. On your way up stop at the Historic Dry Creek General Store for lunch provisions. Gustufson is worth the drive but best to start here first then work your way down the valley to other fun spots such as Bella, Preston, Lambert Bridge and Seghesio.

Remember: Please sip responsibly! Plan to taste at no more than three wineries based on these recommendations.

Food & Wine Trails Announces 2014-2015 Wine-Cruise Series

In 1989, Food & Wine Trails President Larry Martin launched his companys first wine-cruise with 50 guests and five Sonoma and Napa wineries traveling on a Royal Viking cruise. Royal Viking is long gone as are some of those wineries, but Martin has announced his companys 25th wine-cruise season, with eleven wineries sailing to Europe, the Caribbean, New Zealand and Australia in 2014 and early 2015. Wine cruising has exploded in popularity since Martins first cruise as winelovers from every walk of life have discovered the benefits of cruising with their favorite winery owner or winemaker. Martin's company now handles over 3,000 customers a year, but faces competition from mega-companies like Costco and Expedia travel and from the cruise lines themselves, with Celebrity and Holland America hosting their own wine themed cruises. The increased competition doesnt bother Martin who says hes differentiated his product with three signature inclusions: Each cruise is hosted by the winery owner or winemaker instead of a marketing representative Many of the wines poured are rare or not available elsewhere In various ports visited by the cruise, customers can taste and have lunch at some of Europes most sought-after wine estates Martin adds, We avoid the larger sized ships, as our guests enjoy the conviviality and quality of traveling on smaller to midsize cruise lines like Oceania, Azamara and Uniworld River Cruises. This gives our programs more value and attracts more enthusiasts. All Food & Wine Trails wine cruises include private parties and wine tastings, and an onboard winemaker dinner and optional wine-related shore tours. Most include free or discounted airfare from the US, and booking incentives such as free prepaid gratuities and onboard credits. The typical high-season starting price for a seven-night 2014 Food & Wine Trails cruise is $2,874 per person double occupancy including round-trip airfare from any one of 26 US and Canadian city airports. Wineries for the 25th cruise season were selected for their high-scores in US wine publications and include such brandicons as Chateau Montelena, Pahlmeyer, Rochioli, Joseph Phelps Vineyards, Hess, Siduri and Ponzi Vineyards. More information on Food & Wine Trails 25th year cruise series can be found at www.foodandwinetrails.com/cruises or by calling 1-800-367-5348 to speak to a travel consultant or to order the company's complementary, 12-page color newsletter.

PRAGER WINERY AND PORT WORKS Tastings by appointment from 10:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. daily 1281 Lewelling Lane in St. Helena. (707) 963-7678 | www.pragerport.com.
When visiting Napa Valley, not many people think about Port Wine but whenever Im in St. Helena, my trip isnt complete without a visit to Prager Winery and Port Works. Located right off Highway 29, this family owned and operated winery has been hand-crafting various styles of Port since their first harvest in 1979. Founded by Jim and Imogene Prager, the winerys first vintage included Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a Cabernet Port. Their children now handle all the winerys operations but Imogene still makes her caramelized walnuts as the perfect complement to their port wine. Their tasting room is quaint and it reminds me of being home sipping wine with my family and friends. Wine tastings are $20 for a flight of five premium ports and wines and they are currently offering two table wines and six different ports and you get to keep your glass! While they do produce some ports in an old world vintage style, they have taken a classic and made it modern and a little edgier. Their port wines can be enjoyed now and arent cloyingly sweet and over the top but still possess ample liveliness. Think charcuterie and chocolate and add a little port! Their flagship port is the Royal Escort and in special years a Royal Escort Vintage Port. This port is made with 100% Petite Sirah grapes from the Paladini Vineyard in St. Helena and happens to be my favorite port they produce. The Noble Companion 10 year old Tawny Port is made from the 2001 vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon and has a golden-orange hue with hints of light caramel, plum and a rich creamy texture with candied orange peel and walnut. For those who seek out the rare and unusual they produce two white ports; the Aria and Alyssa Golden Dry Port that will pair perfectly with summer seafood dishes. Prager Winery also produces a Petite Sirah wine that is made from the Paladini Vineyard grapes. This is a full bodied red that is beautifully balanced with a silky smooth finish and is a steal at $22. They also offer Chocolate Port Drizzle and Port filled boxed chocolates both made with their Prager Port by Anettes Chocolates in Napa. Or, try any of their three vinegars as they make a great marinade for flat iron steak or a lightly dressed salad. The Prager Winery and Port Works tasting room is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Usually, you will find a family member pouring in the tasting room and I always appreciate their conversation and education they happily provide. All port, wine and gift items are available exclusively in their tasting room or online at www.pragerport.com.

Specialty pieces like perfume bottles (they have the largest collection of hand-blown perfume bottles in Northern California), stemware and paperweights are also available. A carefully chosen number of ceramic artists have been selected to accompany the glasswork and most recently original fine art paintings are being displayed. In all, it makes for a unique and memorable destination. Like everything involving RASgalleries, they are of the highest quality and reflect the fine

A Unique Vantage Point Into the Napa Valley
With a history built upon more than four decades of winemaking, ZD Wines is rightfully known as one of Californias premier Chardonnay producers. Back in 1969, ZD was founded by aerospace engineers Norman deLeuze and Gino Zepponi. Today, three generations of the deLeuze family and the growing ZD staff welcome guests daily who have traveled to the Rutherford winery from around the world for a taste of ZDs award-winning wines. Over the years, the winery has received particularly significant recognition for its Chardonnays, which have been produced since 1972. In 1983, President Ronald Reagan served 1981 ZD Chardonnay at a state dinner for the Summit of Industrial Nations. The official memo sent out afterward noted that the ZD Wines Chardonnay stole the show. Since then, ZD Chardonnay has continued to grace the tables of U.S. presidents and their guests. ZD Wines also garnered international recognition in 1985, when its 1982 Chardonnay won the Decanter Award for Best Chardonnay at the International Wine & Spirits Competition in London. Most recently, ZDs current release of 2011 Chardonnay earned Gold Medal/Best in Class at the San Diego International Wine Competition, Gold Medal at the Tasters Guild International Wine Judging and Gold Medal at the Dallas Morning News Wine Competition. The limited production 2011 Reserve Chardonnay sourced entirely from ZDs organic Carneros Estate vineyard has also received recognition from wine writers and competitions. California Grapevine Magazine awarded ZDs 2011 Reserve Chardonnay 91 points, and it also earned a Double Gold Medal at the Tasters Guild International Wine Judging. Both current release ZD Chardonnays are available for

sale at the winery and on ZDs website at zdwines.com. ZD Wines offers several tasting experiences and tours at the winery. Guests can explore the organic Rutherford Estate vineyard during the Eco Tour. From the Vineyard View Room, they can take in ZDs expansive landscape while indulging in expert pairings of cheese and award winning wines. The Library Selection Tour allows guests to discover vintage Chardonnay as it begins to show the essence of its varietal with wonderful tones of vanilla, pear and honey. Acidity continues to integrate into the wine more each year, balancing the lush palate with ripe apricot and sweet, toasty oak as the complexity of ZD Chardonnay continues to develop. While ZD Wines flagship wine is Chardonnay, it is also well known for world-class Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon, along with additional varietals through the Rosa Lees Whim limited releases. These small production offerings, selected annually by Normans wife and first generation ZD owner Rosa Lee deLeuze, have ranged from Barbera to Pinot Grigio to Malbec. This years Rosa Lee selection is 2012 ZD Semillon, a perfect summer white. There are only a handful of small, family-operated wineries in the Napa Valley, and ZD Wines is one of them. This winery offers guests an intimate vantage point into the Napa Valley experience with each and every visit.

Saturday, August 17: dave Koz and Friends Summer Horns Tour with mindi Abair, Gerald Albright & richard elliot
Eight-time GRAMMY nominee and saxophonist extraordinaire Dave Koz typically spends every summer on the road, bringing a stellar group of musician friends along with him. This summer hes assembled an all-star lineup of saxophonists: Mindi Abair, Gerald Albright and Richard Elliot. Tickets: VIP $90 / GA $60
Sunday, September 1: B.B. King

His reign as King of the Blues has been as long as that of any monarch on earth. Yet B.B. King continues to wear his crown well. At age 87, he is still light on his feet, singing and playing the blues with relentless passion. Time has no apparent effect on B.B., other than to make him more popular, more cherished, more relevant than ever. Dont look for him in some kind of semi-retirement; look for him out on the road, playing for people, popping up in a myriad of T.V. commercials, or laying down tracks for his next album. B.B. King is as alive as the music he plays, and a grateful world cant get enough of him. B.B. continues to tour extensively, averaging over 250 concerts per year around the world. Classics such as The Thrill Is Gone, How Blue Can You Get, and Everyday I Have The Blues are concert (and fan) staples. Tickets: VIP $115 / GA $75

It is always gratifying to see our vintners and culinary world come together, and ultimately make the most important task of the weekend, the critical fundraising supporting dozens of vital Sonoma County non-profits, a reality, said Honore Comfort, Sonoma Wine Country Weekend Co-Director. The 2013 Sonoma Wine Country Weekend Honorary Co-Chairs are Sonoma County vintner leaders The Gallo Family as the Winery Co-Chairs and grower Phil Coturri, Enterprise Vineyards, as the Grower Co-Chair. Culinary community leader Sondra Bernstein, proprietor of the girl & the fig, is the Culinary Chair and Bruce Riezenman of Park Avenue Catering returns as the Culinary Director. Sonoma Countys largest and most fun charitable fundraising event generates almost $2 million, supporting the local economy and non-profits each year. Proceeds from Sonoma Wine Country Weekend support Sonoma County non-profit organizations that serve youth, preserve the environment, and improve the health and welfare of local communities. To date a cumulative total of more than $11 million has been donated directly to Sonoma non-profits by the local wine community.

The Hippest Tasting Room & Wine Bar in Sonoma County
BY SUE STrAIGHT, THE WINE WENCH
Open Sunday and Monday from 12-8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday 11 a.m.-8:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m.-10:30 p.m. 133 Fourth Street, Santa rosa CA (707) 578-1826 | www.cellarsofsonoma.com
Santa Rosas Railroad Square is now THE place to be for the 30-and-over-crowd (younger folks are welcome too, of course). This historic strip, located about an hour north of San Francisco, is shining much brighter these days, due in large part to Cellars of Sonoma, arguably the hippest tasting room (and wine bar by night) in Sonoma County. Im giving away my age here, but let me just say that if I lived in Santa Rosa, Cellars of Sonoma would be my hangout. There are many reasons why this is so lets start with the building, which was originally constructed in 1909. The lovingly restored vintage back bar (the oldest bar in Sonoma County), brick walls, hardwood floors and high ceilings practically ooze history. Take this vintage charm and mix in a splash of contemporary chic, using a modern tasting bar, leather barstools, comfy leather furniture and a big screen TV and voila! Thats the vibe at Cellars of Sonoma. There is a lot of exciting stuff going on here live music from top local talent is featured Thursday Saturday, a live wine tasting broadcast where folks at home can taste along with the in-crowd at the bar happens every Tuesday night, the friendly, knowledgeable staff provides unbeatable concierge service and an amazing array of delicious, small production wines are poured daily. The wines of Cellars of Sonoma deserve their own paragraph, so here we go eight micro wineries (2000 case production maximum) share the space and their wines are offered in flight format. Flights may be pre-set or customized, according to your taste. Food and wine pairings are available by appointment and cost $25. Happy hour is from 4 to 7 p.m. daily house wines are $5 per glass and plates of cheese and chocolate (also $5) are offered to pair with the wines. Heres something really great you can bring in food from the fabulous restaurants of Railroad Square to enjoy with your wines! On a busy Friday or Saturday night, when youd normally end up waiting for a table, you can place your order, then relax and savor your meal with a fabulous bottle (or glass, or flight) of wine.

Barrel & Bottle Summer Barrel Tasting, August 17

Eighth Street Wineries Sonoma announces their first Barrel event Saturday August 17 from noon to 4 p.m.! Join Sonomas exclusive boutique and artisan wineries as they roll up the warehouse doors and welcome you to Barrel & Bottle: A Summer Barrel Tasting, hosted by Eighth Street Wineries Sonoma. Located off the beaten path yet just five minutes from Sonoma Plaza, this is a unique opportunity to visit these nine wineries in one stop! As you stroll among the barrels, glass in hand, and sample mouthwatering treats by various chefs, youre likely to meet the winemakers themselves, a rare connection, as many of these special gem wineries are typically closed to the public. Taste wines in the barrel just before bottling, enjoy small-batch wines and hard-to-find wines: a special occasion for any wine lover! This event is an opportunity for winemakers to share their wine directly from the barrel and discuss, in greater depth, processes and philosophies in making hand crafted wines, said Enkidu winemaker Phillip Staehle. Tasting wine while still in barrel strengthens the connection for the taster between the winemaking process and the finished wine. Admission is $40 in advance per person, $45 at the door, which includes a souvenir wine glass and access to event tastings at all participating wineries. Designated Driver passes are $10. Advance ticket purchase is recommended, as tickets are limited. Tickets and detailed information may be obtained online at www.eighthstreetwineries.com or by calling (707) 939-3930. Participating wineries are Anaba Wines, Enkidu Wines, MacRostie Winery and Vineyards, Parmelee-Hill Vineyards, Patz & Hall, Stone Edge Farm, Three Sticks Wines, Tin Barn Vineyards and Ty Caton Vineyards.

Proceeds go to support the local fire department. In addition to the delicious array of award-winning wines, many of the winemakers will be present to share their insight, tips and techniques for producing some of Californias most exciting wines.
