INTELLIgENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER

BY LEN NAPOLITANO
What is hang time?

You might think hang time refers to how long you stick around a
tasting room bar and sample the entire list of wines.
In the business of grape growing, however, getting more hang time
means waiting longer for grapes to reach maturity and optimal
ripeness; in other words, stretching out the growing season.
Physiological grape maturity is determined simply by tasting grapes
and observing the color of their seeds. Ripeness is determined by
testing grapes for sugar and acid content. If maturity lags behind
ripeness, grapes might need to hang on the vine longer than usual.
But, like the hours spent inside a tasting room, adding hang time is
not without risk.
The balancing act begins in August, when sugar levels from grape
samples start getting regularly measured in degrees on a scale called
Brix, and acidity is measured on the pH scale. Testing gives growers
and winemakers an indication of ripeness and a rough idea how close
they are to harvest. However, as warm daytime temperatures increase
sugar development, acid levels drop. Waiting days, or weeks, to reach
higher sugar levels with potential for greater flavor and alcohol in the
wine also means gradually losing acidity, a vital component giving
wine freshness and lively fruitiness. A wine with insufficient acidity is

doomed to be flat and dull.
Grapes are typically picked at Brix readings between 22 and 28
degrees, depending on grape variety and desires of the winemaker,
many of whom define hang time as the time grapes remain on the
vine after they reach ripeness of 24 degrees Brix. (By the way, a final
Brix reading multiplied by a standard conversion factor of 0.55
estimates final wine alcohol content. Thus, grapes picked at 24
degrees Brix make wine with around 13.2% alcohol.)
Wine regions with naturally long growing seasons, like Californias
Monterey County, benefit from longer hang time without much risk.
They have consistently warm days with few heat spikes, and cool
afternoons and evenings. Measured by their early budding and late
ripening dates, their entire growing season may span up to a month
longer than most other California appellations.
Stretching out the growing season allows grapes to develop more
intense flavor, color, and complexity all characteristics of great
wines. These qualities are especially easy to appreciate while
stretching your own hang time in a favorite tasting room.

Good to Know Before Heading to the Wineries

BY CHARLES NEAVE
For the most part, going wine tasting is about the easiest thing in
the world, especially here in California where wineries and tasting
rooms abound. You can find wineries specializing in red wines of all
types, those that are famous for their white wines and others who
pour sparkling wine. It is a matter of doing a little research and
planning your day. Most tasting rooms open around 10 a.m. and
close between 4:30 and 6 p.m. Here are some tips that have proven
to be helpful and are designed to help make the sensory adventure of
wine tasting all the more enjoyable.
Before you start off pack a few essentials: Water (plenty of water)
and something to snack on crackers or a baguette. Many wineries
have picnic areas and there are plenty of delis and bakeries that can
make up a lunch for you, or make your own. Which brings us to
eating and drinking, the kind that doesnt directly involve wine.
Be sure to nibble during the day and make sure you make time for
lunch. Two tips: drink at least twice as much water as you do wine,
and remember that you dont have to drink everything poured into
your glass. There is a reason tasting bars have dump buckets and a
pitcher of water to wash out your glass.
Dont be afraid to ask questions. Time and time again I have heard
knowledgeable winery workers say that there is no such thing as a
stupid question, and they mean that.
You can drink what you want, in the order you want. If you only like
reds, say so; if you dont like sweet wines, speak up. But the idea of
starting with whites, then going on to reds and then sweet wines is a
good guide. Zinfandel is red. I am sure you know that but it never
hurts to remind everyone.
If there is a particular wine you want to try and it is not on the list,
ask. There might be a bottle around that was opened for a trade
tasting or by the winemaker. Most tasting rooms are happy to pour a
little if you show enthusiasm.
Take notes on the wines you most enjoyed.
Take advantage of tours when the winery offers them, but keep in
mind that they take anywhere from 20 minutes to well over an hour,
so one a day is plenty.
Buy wines that you can only find at the winery. These often include
smaller (375 ml) bottles of limited production Ports or dessert wines.
Dont buy a wine you can get at a supermarket back home. Youll pay
more, and besides, whats the point?
Look for tasting rooms in towns. Many of these are cooperative
tasting rooms, where in one place you might find wines from a dozen
or more small-to-medium premium producers. They are scattered
throughout the area and more are opening all the time.
Dont give too much thought to ratings and vintages. Its like art: if
you like it, its a good wine. It is as simple as that.
Remember that you dont have to do the driving. It takes no more
than a phone call hire a transportation company to do the driving.
gorgeous views,
luscious wines and lasting memories

Whats in a Name?
Sustainable, Organic & Biodynamic Defined
Its a question which bedevils even longtime wine and wine
trade insiders: what really is the difference between the terms
sustainable, organic and biodynamic? And do the distinctions
matter at all? Whats really being asked, in my opinion, is how
much is marketing magic and how much is winegrowing truth,
how much is it everyone drinking from the same grapeaid, and
how much is it a reflection of the realities of commercial wine
production? Its a mixture of all of the above, of course!
Everyone, perhaps, by now understands what organic means in
terms of not using chemicals or ecologically disruptive practices,
but in the context of wine, it gets a lot trickier, especially for small
wineries, which is why there are way more wines labeled Made
with Organic Grapes than straight up organic wines. It is
considerably easier to get certification showing that the organicness of the grapes, derived through the grower, is preserved
through the winemaking than to get a winery or wine certified as
wholly organic. It is not impossible, but it is costly and leaves little
room for error in the cellar. Among a number of technical issues,
there is an absolute limit on sulfite usage, which knocks out most
commercial wines because of the larger batch process in which
they are produced and the necessity to have preservation of the
wines in the cellar, once bottled, and while on store shelves and
wine racks.
Going this one better, biodynamic, as Nigel Tufnel would have
said, puts organic on eleven. Based on the writings of Rudolf
Steiner, proponents of this agricultural philosophy argue for
integrative methods akin to organic practices but also root those
strategies within a system of nature-based energy wherein the goal
is to recharge the land ecologically and spiritually; and there is a
certification agency, Demeter, whose imprenteur producers must
receive in order for the labels to legally proclaim the wines
biodynamic. While a number of very high-end producers in the
United States and internationally winegrow according to these

principles, it is expensive and time-consuming, which is why it
remains as a smaller niche in the larger wine world. Are
biodynamic wines better? Taste is in the tongue of the imbiber.
So, where, then, does sustainable fit into this discussion? Its
the least rigorous but the most honest in terms of the kinds of
compromises winegrowers often have to make. While there is a set
of proscribed Lodi Rules, and there are other sustainable
certifications, too, much is self-assessed and self-reported
agriculture. More importantly, the sustainable growers I know will
say they are essentially farming organically or biodynamically all
the time, but they withhold their vineyards from both the costs of
certification or, due to accidental exposure, re-certification and
from the potential losses of being hard hit by, for example, a pest
they are unable to eradicate except through commerciallynecessary, non-organic practices. It is far easier to discuss these
options when it is not the potential loss of your crop or vines;
sustainable winegrowing forthrightly says commerce and
stewardship can go hand in hand through integrative processes like
composting and natural fermentations rather than the
alternatives: unnecessary chemical use or working against the land
in the production process.
As you can see, the potential for these terms to be meaningful
rests with consumer understanding and willingness to ask
questions. Since sustainable, in particular, is a much more wideopen term, it behooves the interested wine lover to ask questions
about how the grapes are grown and what terms are or are not used
on the producers labels. Youll often find that the absences have
little to do with actual winegrowing processes at all and more often
than not result from decisions necessary to keep the winery in
business. If nothing else, your next conversation with a winemaker
should be much more engaging since these are the issues shes
really thinking about behind that smile. Enjoy!

In 1973 Chamisal Vineyards became the first winery to plant vines in Edna Valley,
embarking on what is now a long history of producing wines that are bold, intriguing
and complex. The 85-acre estates close proximity to the Pacific Ocean and resulting cool
climate are ideal for growing wonderfully distinctive Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays the
varietals for which Chamisal is best known yet the site is also home to Syrah, Grenache
and Pinot Gris. Each variety is planted with multiple clones; as a result, Winemaker
Fintan du Fresne has 24 completely different parcels from which to blend his wines.
Fintans winemaking philosophy embraces a sense of purity and simplicity, and
Chamisals wines always allow the natural characteristics of its remarkable vineyard site to
shine through.
Naturally, the ideal way to experience the wines is to visit the winery itself. Known for
warm, friendly hospitality, the Chamisal tasting room is housed in a lovely, modern barn
that opens up onto a beautiful back patio overlooking the stunning Estate vineyard.
Chamisal recently updated its beautiful grounds to complement its new distinct tasting
opportunities. They now offer guests multiple ways to immerse themselves in the beauty
and tranquility of Edna Valley, as well as options for enjoying a glass or a bottle of wine
on site.
Putting customers first and making them feel like family is our mission, says Andrea
de Palo, Director of Consumer Sales. The intimate tasting opportunities as well as the

reserve and tailored wine experiences are something our guests and
wine club members appreciate.
Chamisal Vineyards offers two tasting experiences to the general
public: the Classic Flight ($15), which includes four wines from the
winerys line of premium Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays, and the
Estate Flight ($25), a hosted tasting that includes at least four wines
from Chamisals rotating list of Estate Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and
Rhone-style wines as well as small lot wines when available.
While both tastings are available in the winerys friendly,
comfortable tasting room, the Classic Flight can also be enjoyed on
Chamisals front patio, a garden space which offers beautiful views of
the Santa Lucia Mountains. Likewise, the Estate Flight can be
experienced on the winerys back patio, which affords a breathtaking
vista of the Estate Vineyards soft rolling hills which stretch toward
the Pacific Ocean. Both tastings are complimentary for wine club
members, and tasting fees are waived with wine purchase.
Chamisal also has a dedicated picnic space in a tranquil setting
with stunning views of the Estate Vineyard and Santa Lucia
Mountains. Here guests can enjoy Chamisal wines by the glass or
bottle.
Weve really tried to think of all the different ways our guests
spend their time here and how they like to enjoy our wines, and then
we created spaces and tasting experiences to accommodate all of
them, says Andrea, whose staff is proud of the fact that they
welcome repeat visitors again and again. We think we have the right
experience for each guest.

FOLEY WINE ESTATES

World Class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir
BY MICHAEL CERVIN

Every Saturday from 12-3, through August

The Santa Rita Hills wine area of Santa Barbara, a short distance from the Pacific Ocean, has
become the single prime region for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay due to its ideal cool-climate
weather. But that distance is much shorter than Santa Barbara County to the West Texas
Panhandle, where Foley Family Estates owner William Foley originally hails from.
William Foley II grew up with cattle ranching in his blood, not winegrowing, but as the
successful Chairman of the Fidelity Investments Board of Directors, Foley wanted to create a
legacy for his family in the wine world. He first purchased a winery in Santa Ynez, part of Santa
Barbara wine country, and renamed it Lincourt Winery in honor of his two daughters, Lindsay
and Courtney. After the success of that venture he created Foley Estates Vineyard and Winery
located on nearly 500 acres in the prestigious Santa Rita Hills of Santa Barbara. It is here where
Foley Estates produces classic and highly regarded Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, though they do
produce Syrah as well available only at the tasting room. The Foley wines show the best
expression of the Foley vineyards as possible sophisticated, luxurious wines reflecting their own
vineyard sites.
For example the Foley Santa Rita Hills Courtneys Chardonnay spent 17 months in oak
showing Foleys commitment to age worthy wines with a classy oak influenced profile. Similarly
Foleys Santa Rita Hills Lindsays Pinot Noir also spent 17 months in 40 percent new oak barrels
a successful attempt at a grand wine. The Foley Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay Bar Lazy S Ranch
and Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir Bar Lazy S Ranch are just under 400 cases of both of these wines,
an exclusive glimpse of world-class wines that few can match along the California Central Coast.
If you have a passion for Pinot Noir, Foley has created a line of wines reflecting individual
clones, all of which provide unique flavor profiles. The recently released 2011 line up includes

Continued
the Foley T Anchor Ranch Pinot Noir which is all about the
Pommard clone in this wine. Their JA Ranch Pinot Noir embraces
clones 113 and 115, while the Bar Lazy S Ranch Pinot Noir uses
clone 2A. And the 2011 Barrel Select Pinot Noir is the 100 percent
Massal clone. Each clone brings a different aspect of fruit, floral and
perfume notes, structure and ageability, not to mention the
uniqueness of being able to experience a wide swath of Pinot Noir
clones at a single winery.
When you visit the elegantly appointed, but unobtrusive, Foley
Estates tasting room you will innately understand, even before
sampling the wines, the commitment to excellence that Foley has
cultivated as evidenced by surrounding grounds and facility, as there
is a beautiful attention to detail. There are three tasting options
including the standard $10 public tasting which includes five wines.
There is also a reserve tasting flight of six high-end wines for $20, or
you can upgrade to the Wine and Cheese Pairing tasting offered
Monday through Friday for $40 where six Foley wines are paired
with six different artisanal cheeses but reservations are needed for
both the private tastings. There are also tables in the front of the
tasting room, and a larger area in the back for picnic opportunities.
Check the website for Live Acoustic Music, Wine & More every
Saturday from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m., through the end of August.

the Santa Rita Hills are capable of producing.www.Foleywines.com.

PREFERRED TASTING ROOM
TALLEY VINEYARDS
Private Tastings in Historic El Rincon Adobe
BY CATHY NEUSHAL
3031 Lopez Drive, Arroyo grande CA 93420

Open daily form 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

You can also find Talley Vineyards on Facebook.

There have always been a number of reasons that a visit to Talley Vineyards is
memorable. People mention the great wines, the tasting room with a terrific view of the
Rincon Valley and the winery tours. Soon, however, there will be a unique offering.
Guests will have a chance to sign up for private tastings in the historic El Rincon Adobe
located on the vineyard.
Small groups, of four to six people, will be able to try a selection of Talleys high-end
wines in El Rincon Adobe. There will be a wine expert on hand to lead discussions and
answer any questions. Patrons who participate in this private tasting will also be offered a
vineyard and winery tour as part of the experience.
El Rincon Adobe is the perfect place for this type of tasting. It plays an important role
in the history of the vineyard and the surrounding area. In addition, it is the first thing
people see when they visit the vineyard, and is featured on the Talley label.
The adobe was built in the 1860s by Ramon Branch and is constructed of sun-dried
mud bricks made from soil collected in the area. While the adobe fell into disrepair over
the years, it was refurbished in 1988 and became Talleys tasting room for many years.
When a new tasting room was opened in 2002, the adobe stopped being used for this
purpose. This will soon change.
Another way to try a selection of Talley wines is by visiting the tasting room. With
spectacular views of the Rincon Vineyard, this experience is designed to be inspiring.
Visitors can sit indoors or retire to one of the three outdoor areas.
Talleys tasting room offers two flights. The Core Flight, which features five core wines,
including the Talley Estate Pinot Noir and the Talley Estate Chardonnay, or the Distinctive
Menu, which changes frequently and offers repeat visitors a chance to try something
different each time they visit the vineyard.
Afterwards, people can take a little bit of Talley Vineyards home with them. They can
buy a bottle of Talley wine, such as the estate grown Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, or take
home a refillable growler with the featured red or white wine.

Original Roadhouse Grill

Original Roadhouse Grill is a small family-owned restaurant chain
focusing on serving high-quality foods in a family-friendly
atmosphere. Entering the restaurant, guests are welcomed with
buckets of peanuts, with shells on the floor, and the inviting aromas
of fresh USDA Midwestern beef cooking on an open-air grill. The
Santa Maria location has been achieving this since 2000 and has
become a local favorite for delicious food, ample portions and
friendly service. The extensive menu includes the original bourbon
glazed tri-tip, hand-cut steaks and baby back ribs, all served with
fresh baked yeast rolls with honey butter. The variety of drinks and
appetizers include roadhouse versions of traditional favorites,
including the Original Roadhouse Golden Rita and the Roadhouse
Boneless Wings. Diners also enjoy the roadhouse proprietary selection
like their Strawberry Lemonade served in Mason jars and the Texas
Egg Rolls, which are wontons filled with cream cheese and chopped
jalapeo, served with jalapeo jelly for dipping. In additional to the
standard protein options, the restaurant is proud to serve bison meat
in a variety of dishes. Bison is delectably flavorful and healthier than
other red meats!
The Original Roadhouse Grill is a perfect location for any sized
group and special occasion and also a fun place to simply pop in and
watch the game. If the timing is right, sports lovers can enjoy happy
hour featuring appetizer and drink specials! There are multiple big
screen TVs, and this is the place on the Central Coast for wagering on
televised horse racing!
The Original Roadhouse Grill is located at 1423 South Bradley
Road in Santa Maria, a convenient location for locals and visitors
alike. They are open Friday and Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
and Sunday through Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. On
Tuesdays, families can enjoy Kids Eat Free night! Bring the whole
gang for an authentic roadhouse experience.

KARL ANTINK
White Winemaker J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines
6169 Airport Road, Paso Robles CA 93446 | (805) 239-8900

In 1972, Jerry Lohr acquired his first land in the Arroyo Seco region of Monterey
County. With the hands-on devotion of an artisan farmer, he planted 280 acres of
varietal grapes, diligently tended his first vineyard, and let the maritime fog, winds and
cobblestone-laden soils work their magic. Jerrys uncanny ability to match promising
new vineyard sites to their ideal grape variety came to fruition in 1974, when he
released his first bottlings of J. Lohr wine, beginning the winerys reputation for crafting
award-winning wines of exceptional flavor and quality. In the decades since, J. Lohr
has brought the exciting wines of Monterey County to a global audience, showcasing
the crisp, vibrant allure that can be achieved in our cool, coastal white wines.
Today, the J. Lohr white wine program is guided by Karl Antink, a master of
Monterey County whites, who has spent nearly a decade refining the winerys approach
to Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. Its a testament to J. Lohrs desire to
make exceptional wines that it has a winemaker specifically dedicated to its whites.
Working primarily with just a handful of grape varieties allows me to have a
remarkable level of focus, says Karl. I get to know the nuances of these wines far
more intimately that if I were also juggling all of the red varieties.
Karls thoughtful approach extends to every aspect of the J. Lohr white wine
program. People are often amazed to learn that our Chardonnay program is 100%
barrel fermented, and that we individually stir each barrel regularly, says Karl. There
arent many wineries of our size with this level of attention to detail, but we believe that
using traditional small cooperage and stirring the lees brings a level of complexity,
flavor and mouthfeel to our Chardonnays that you just cant get otherwise.
A California native, Karls road to becoming a winemaker grew from an interest in
home beer brewing. In 1993, after graduating from the U.C. Davis Master Brewers
Extension Program, Karl decided to combine his passion for the art of fermentation
JULY 2014
Continued
with his growing love of wine. Karl soon earned a degree in

fermentation science from U.C. Davis, and in 1997, he joined
St. Helenas Folie Deux, where he became assistant winemaker.
Following his time at Folie Deux, Karl was named winemaker for
the family-owned Von Strasser Winery in Calistoga, where he spent
five years guiding the family-owned winerys portfolio.
In 2006, Karl joined J. Lohr. Since then, working alongside
Director of Winemaking Jeff Meier, Karl has been instrumental in
every aspect of J. Lohrs white wine program from vineyard
development to the launch of new wines, including the acclaimed
J. Lohr Highlands Bench Chardonnay, and most recently, the J. Lohr
Estates Flume Crossing Sauvignon Blanc. Lately, Karl has been
working with a few new grapes, including white Rhne varieties

grown in Paso Robles for J. Lohr Gesture and most recently Pinot
Blanc. This year marks our 40th anniversary, says Karl As part of
celebrating this important milestone, I had the honor of helping to
make our commemorative J. Lohr 40th Anniversary Pinot Blanc, an
Arroyo Seco wine that pays homage to Jerrys original 1972 Pinot
Blanc plantings, and our inaugural 1975 Pinot Blanc bottling. Its an
incredible feeling to make a wine rooted in that much history a
wine that shows where we come from, but also how far weve come.

ts no wonder the people here

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

first attracted the Spanish padres to
the area in the 1700s. In 1772 they
built the fifth of Californias 21
missions here, on the banks of San
Luis Creek, and named it Mission
San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. Today,
many consider this the most beautiful of the Spanish missions.
More than 200 wineries produce

critically acclaimed vintages in
Paso Robles, Edna Valley and
Arroyo Grande Valley. Visitors can
head out along the gorgeous
country roads to sip their way
through the vineyards.

Castoro Cellars Presents Beaverstock

Another year of Dam Fine Wine and
generously contributing to the community as
Castoro brings big names to the Central Coast!
Saturday, September 13th and
Sunday, September 14th, 1-9pm
Rising star, singer-songwriter Allen Stone
and multi Grammy Award-winning group
Los Lobos to headline Beaverstock. The
owners of Castoro Cellars, Niels and Bimmer
Udsen, are celebrating 31 years of bringing
Dam Fine Wine to the Central Coast by
hosting a two-day music festival, again! This
is a big thank you to both their club
members and the community who have
supported them throughout the years; all
club members are given two complimentary
tickets for a day of their choice.
Beaverstock isnt just for fun but also for a
great cause. A portion of the ticket proceeds
will be generously donated to the Templeton
Education Foundation. TEF is a nonprofit
public benefit corporation whose purpose is
both exclusively educational and charitable
and is set up to secure and distribute
contributions from individuals, corporations
and foundations for the benefit of the
students in the Templeton Unified School
District.
Many bands will grace the stage over the
two day festival but the two weekend
headliners are Allen Stone and Los Lobos.
Taking the stage, as Saturdays headliner, is a
young up and coming artist named Allen
Stone. USA Today called him a pitch-perfect
powerhouse and the New York Times has
likened his music to that of Stevie Wonder,
Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway and Bill
Withers. This 27-year-old singer-songwriter
will make his Central Coast debut at Castoro
Cellars. Stones shows have been selling out
from coast to coast. His album jumped into
the Top 10 of Billboards Heatseekers chart
and entered the Top 5 of iTunes R&B/Soul
charts. His first national television
appearance was on Conan and he has also
appeared on other late night shows such as
Jimmy Kimmel Live David Letterman,
and Last Call with Carson Daly. Esquire,
CNN and Billboard all have named Allen
Stone as an artist to watch.
28
On Sunday blues/rock legends Los Lobos

will finish off the festival. Los Lobos is still
comprised of Louie Perez (drums, guitars,
percussion and vocals), Steve Berlin
(saxophone, percussion, flute, mid-sax,
harmonica and melodica), Cesar Rosas
(vocals, guitar and mandolin), Conrad
Lozano (bass, Guitarron and vocals), David
Hidalgo (vocals, guitar, accordion,
percussion, bass, keyboards, melodica,
drums, violin and banjo) and Enrique Bugs
Gonzalez (drums and percussion). More than
three decades have passed since Los Lobos
released their debut album, Just Another
Band from East L.A. Since then theyve
repeatedly disproven that title Los Lobos
isnt just another anything, but rather a
band that has consistently evolved artistically
while never losing sight of their humble
roots. Los Lobos were already East L.A.
neighborhood legends, Sunset Strip regulars
and a Grammy Award-winning band (Best
Mexican-American/Tejano Music
Performance) by the time they recorded their
major label debut How Will The Wolf
Survive? in 1984. Although the albums
name and title song were inspired by a
National Geographic article about real life
wolves in the wild, the band David
Hidalgo, Louie Perez, Cesar Rosas, Conrad
Lozano and Steve Berlin saw parallels with
their struggle to gain mainstream rock
success while maintaining their Mexican
roots. Perez, the bands drummer, once called
their powerhouse mix of rock, Tex-Mex,
country, folk, R&B, blues and traditional
Spanish and Mexican music the soundtrack
of the barrio. Three decades, two more
Grammys, a worldwide smash single (La
Bamba) and thousands of rollicking
performances across the globe later, Los
Lobos is surviving quite well and still
jamming with the same raw intensity as they

had when they began in that garage in 1973.
The band chronicles a key moment of their
expansive journey on Disconnected In New
York City, a dynamic live album that marks
the bands 40th anniversary and launches
their new association with 429 Records.
Disconnected in New York City features fresh
interpretations of songs from throughout
their three decade recording career, including
their first ever live recording of La Bamba,
their worldwide pop crossover hit from the
1987 film which reached #1 on the U.S. and
UK singles chart and whose video won a
1988 MTV Music Video Award. The
collection covers the bands 25-year studio
discography, from Gotta Let You Know (a
bouncy zydeco rocker driven by Hidalgos
accordion from How Will The Wolf Survive?)
through Tin Can Trust, a bluesy rock ballad
that was the title cut from their last studio
release in 2010.
Many other outstanding and well known
performers that are part of the weekends
lineup are the Band of Heathens from Austin
Texas, blues legend Eric Bibb, folk band Hot
Buttered Rum and indie-soul
singer/songwriter Sean Hayes. Locally based
talent will also perform throughout the two
day festival. Prxima Parada will open the
show on Saturday afternoon in addition to
other hometown favorites like Moonshiner
Collective, Zongo All-Stars and Jill Knight.
Beaverstock will be held in the Meadow at
Castoro Cellars, 1315 N. Bethel Road,
Templeton, rain or shine. Tickets are $40 for
a one-day ticket and $60 for two days.
Tickets may be purchased in person at the
tasting room or online at
www.castorocellars.com. All tickets are nonrefundable. Gates open at 12:00 p.m. and
music will go until 9:00 p.m. No seating will
be provided so guests must bring their own
low-backed chair or blanket. Dam Fine
Castoro wines will be served as well as a
selection of local craft beers. Several gourmet
food trucks and vendors will be on hand as
well. Water will be provided no outside
food or beverages. For information visit the
website at www.castorocellars.com or email
events@castorocellars.com.
PLEASANT VALLEY
Wine Tasting in
Tackitt Family Vineyards
BY CATHY NEUSHAL
Winemaking has always been associated with community and

family. At Tackitt Family Vineyards this connection is evident in both
the wines that are produced and the events that are sponsored. As a
former member of the United States Navys Explosive Ordnance
Disposal group, owner Leon Tackitt, and his wife, Cindy use their
wines as a way to raise money and awareness for the military. As part
of their dedication to supporting Leons fellow soldiers, they donate
proceeds from one of their wine labels (EOD Cellars), and from
special events held at the vineyard to the EOD Warrior Foundation.
The EOD Warrior Foundation provides emergency financial relief,
education, hope and wellness, and memorial care for soldiers,
veterans and their families. At a recent event, Warriors Helping
Warriors III, Tackitt Family Vineyards raised more than $11,000 for
this organization by bringing fellow warriors and friends together at
the vineyard to take part in bottling the EOD Cellars label.
As a Navy Veteran and former Bomb Tech, I can think of no
better organization than the EOD Warrior Foundation to support our
troops, Tackitt said.
If you choose to purchase one of Tackitts wines online, youll find
a wide selection of both reds and whites, and the signature EOD
Cellars label. Under this label, you can choose from the EOD Warrior
Basic Blaster Red, a 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon, the EOD Warrior
Senior Blaster Red, a 2010 Merlot, the EOD Warrior Master Blaster
Red, a Bordeaux blend of Cabernet, Merlot and Petite Verdot, the
EOD Warrior Willie Pete White, a 2012 Sauvignon Blanc, or the

Warrior Det Cord White, a 2012 Riesling. The net proceeds go to the
EOD Warrior Foundation.
Tackitt Family Vineyards is located at 6640 Von Dollen Road in
San Miguel, CA. The tasting room is open from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m.
Friday thru Sunday. For more information, call (805) 467-9490, or

STEPHEN ROSS WINE CELLARS

BY MICHAEL CERVIN

In the summer of 1994, after seventeen years of making wine for others,
Stephen Ross Dooley launched his label Stephen Ross. After moving production
a few times, he found a home for his own winery and tasting room in San Luis
Obispo in summer, 2008. Celebrating the 20th Stephen Ross Vintage this year,
Dooley maintains his love of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay but has also spread his
wings, so to speak.
A U.C. Davis graduate with winemaking experience at Louis Martini Winery
in the Napa Valley and Edna Valley Vineyards, Stephen Dooley also served
winemaking stints in both South Africa and Australia. But it is the Central Coast
where Dooley is most at home. Dooley developed an estate vineyard, Stone
Corral Vineyard, planted exclusively to Pinot Noir in partnership with two other
wineries in the Edna Valley. Since he focuses on growing and producing Pinot
Noir, roughly half of his production is Pinot Noir, bottled under five different
premier vineyard designations or appellations. We just released our 2011 Pinot
Noir, Chorro Creek Vineyard and 2010 Stephen Ross Pinot Noir, Stone Corral
Vineyard. Of course Chardonnay is also in the mix and he plans to release his
2012 Stephen Ross Chardonnay from Edna Valley, and his 2012 Stephen Ross
Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands (Monterey County) by the end of
the year. But there is a highly anticipated new arrival - the
release of their first vintage of Grenache from Spanish Springs
Vineyard in early 2014.
I am thrilled with the yields and quality of fruit from the
2013 vintage as well as the extremely cooperative weather,
he effuses. Im also really excited about Flying Cloud,
another project of ours. Right now we only have
Cabernet Sauvignon available for sale under that label,
but were working on possibly adding other varieties or
blends. We are currently selling our 2011 vintage, an
easy drinking, fruit forward, medium body Cabernet
with soft tannins that retails for $20. For Dooley,
Cabernet Sauvignon invokes fond memories of his
first decade of producing wine in the Napa Valley at
Louis M. Martini winery in the early 1980s.
Stylistically, this wine made from grapes in Paso
Robles, is hearty and balanced with pleasing aromas
and flavors characteristic of the variety, with a sense of
place. The name Flying Cloud pays tribute to the Eden
Prairie airport in Dooleys home state of Minnesota. But
there are other wines to try as well, like Stephen Ross
Zinfandel, Pinot Gris and Albario. After all, every great
winery needs a great portfolio. And at under 5,000 cases,
they sell quickly. You dont need to have a winery and
tasting room smack in the middle of a vineyard to find
phenomenal wine. The Stephen Ross tasting room
and winery are in a light industrial area, all very
incognito which adds to the allure. Bottle prices range
from $19 to $52 and tasting fees are just $10. So fly on
in and see whats new.

Neatly tucked into the southern side of Paso Robles lauded

Highway 46 West sits a converted historic schoolhouse-turned-tasting
room, home to a 2011 vintage to remember. Though resident family
owned and operated Peachy Canyon Winery has been producing
award-winning wines since the late 80s when they were put on the
map by Wine Spectator with a Top 100 wine this most recent crop of
wines has been especially illustrious: six 90+ point small-lot
Zinfandels, plus a recent Double Gold for their Ms Behave Malbec at
the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.
What makes these wines special? It may have something to do with
the Beckett clans dedication to creating by hand. Despite being the
largest family owned winery on the westside of Paso, Peachy Canyon
still practices artisanal winemaking methods ... Grapes are picked by
hand and sorted by hand. Premium wines are punched down by hand
and gently basket pressed. Its the biggest small operation around.
The winerys commitment to the local terroir is both
environmentally sustainable (they are SIP Sustainability In Practice
Certified) and a positive influence on the vino. Multiple estate
vineyards on some of the best dirt in Paso mean that Peachys wines
boast a variety of personalities. From elegant and restrained to big and
fruit-forward, the 2011 Zinfandel vintage exhibits the range of
microclimates available for Zin production in Paso Robles. Famed wine
critic Stephen Tanzer went so far as to say, I suspect fans of
extroverted Rhone wines will enjoy this, describing vineyard
designate Mustard Creek Zinfandel, not something you normally hear
describing a Paso Zin! The truth is that Paso Robles Zinfandel can be
so much more than a big berry bomb (though it is sometimes,
unabashedly, that). Peachy Canyon loves to prove this point; each of
their Zins features unique qualities highlighting the expressive nature
of the Zinfandel grape.
A reflection of Paso Robles unique and varied terroir, these wines
provide an expansive look at the capabilities and quality of small lot
and in many cases, single vineyard Zinfandel. Winemaker and
winery son Josh Beckett noted that although the 2011 vintage was a
challenging harvest due to weather, the quality of the grapes was
markedly high. This was due in part to low yields resulting from an
early frost, and a cooler growing season. A cooler spring and summer
in 2011 gave us extended hang time, says Beckett.
Peachys 2011 Malbec also obviously benefitted from excellent fruit,
having just won Double Gold in the 2014 San Francisco Chronicle
Wine Competition the largest wine competition in the U.S. At only
320 cases produced the Ms Behave Malbec is a very small production
wine. Its dark, dense flavors and soft, integrated tannins are the result
of hundreds of careful man hours from a surprisingly small winery
team less than thirty, many wearing multiple hats, all dedicated to
the cause evidence of a dogmatic commitment to quality.

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

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

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

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

Noir reign due to the maritime
climate. This ensures a long
temperate growing season which
the Burgundian varietals crave. In
the southern region of the appella-
tion, the trail moves a bit east
resulting in hotter days and cooler
nights. Bordeaux and Rhone vari-
eties flourish in this more extreme
climate. The wineries in this
region boast a concentration of
Californias most well known wine-
makers; join them year round in
the tasting rooms or at the many

weekend events.

California Wine Festival 5 Events, 3 Days

After over a decade of celebrating wine, food and music, the
popular California Wine Festival (CWF) is scheduled for July 17-19,
in their home base of Santa Barbara.
Over the years, weve taken the CWF from San Diego to
Monterey, President and Founder Don Fritzen said. Santa Barbara is
where we started and weve always enjoyed tremendous support
here.
Vice President/Operations, Emily Kaufmann, said, Im expecting
an even wider variety of wineries from every wine region in
California to pour at our prestigious three days of events, plus weve
added regional microbreweries, and several new features this year.
Were adding special wine-experience seminars to the line-up this
year, said Kaufmann. Guests can enjoy either the Cabernet Clinic
and Tasting or the Experience a World of Wine in One AVA: Lodi
seminar conducted by winemakers and other industry experts.
These new events precede the Sunset Rare & Reserve Tasting at the
beautiful Fess Parker Resort on Friday, July 18.
Were very excited about the great chefs and delicious gourmet
appetizers they bring from the finest local and regional restaurants
and gourmet food purveyors from around the country, Fritzen said.
Of course, live musical entertainment has been lined up at all three
main events to provide an exciting sound track to this outdoor
extravaganza.
Kaufmann, who runs the day-to-day operation of the growing
company, agrees with Fritzens vision of a bright future, Our
customers are going to love the new events this year. Our new wine
seminars will be lots of fun and educational as well and should sell
out quickly.
Kaufmann continued, Were adding new wineries from around
the state every day for our five events this year. Our California Wine
Festival brand, now in its eleventh year, has become the premier
wine festival company in the state, and has stood the test of time.
Weve always maintained the highest standard of wine, food and fun
entertainment, giving our guests more for their dollar.
Elite wineries, gourmet food manufacturers, top restaurants, and
especially a new and enthusiastic group of event sponsors recognize
the value they receive from marketing to CWFs high profile clientele
in an environment of prestigious wines, foods and lots of sun and
fun. Kaufmann concluded, Tickets are going on sale sooner than
36
ever before this year as demand seems to continue to rise for

California Wine Festivals blend of quality wines and gourmet foods,
presented in a one-of-a-kind California beachside setting. Better buy
early and take advantage of our early bird prices, as we expect to sell
out again, Kaufmann warned!
This is CWFs signature wine event! Thousands of wine lovers
pour into Santa Barbaras sun-splashed beachside location for a day of
sun, sea, wine, food and music. Literally hundreds of premium
California wines are served up along with the best of the regional
microbreweries, local top chefs and food purveyors and vendors of
all things related to wine.
Thursday, July 17, 6:30-9 pm. Old Spanish Nights Wine Tasting
A celebration of wines, foods and music true to Santa Barbaras
Spanish roots. The historic De La Guerra Adobe Courtyard, site of
the original Spanish fiestas in downtown Santa Barbara, provides the
perfect setting for this exciting evening of wine and food festivities.
A large contingent of wineries will showcase their world-class wines
accompanied by a spicy array of appetizers from top local
restaurants. Colorful Flamenco dancers, accompanied by blazing
guitars and hot Latin sounds will keep everyone caliente throughout
the event.
Friday, July 19, 5-6 pm. Cab Collective Cabernet Sauvignon Tasting
The elegant and friendly confines of Fess Parkers DoubleTree
Resort hosts a Cabernet Clinic and Tasting. Guests will sample a
selection of ultra premium Cabernets from some of Paso Robles best
vineyards. Winemakers will share their expertise and artistry in this
hour-long wine tasting experience.
Friday, July 19, 5-6 pm. Experience a World of Wine in One AVA
(American Viticultural Area)
You may know that Lodi is a unique and exciting AVA, but did
you know that because of its diverse geography, climate and soils
Lodi is now producing over 100 varieties of grapes brought in from
all corners of the globe? In this fun and informative session you will
taste your way around the wine world while experiencing the rich
history and diversity of this emerging wine-producing region Lodi,

Terravant Wine Launches Scratchpad Wines

New Label Allows Consumers to Design Their Own
Terravant Wine Company, located in Californias Central Coast
wine region, is excited to announce a new brand, Scratchpad,
which was developed by the winerys creative group called
Switchcraft Designs. Scratchpad is the wine industrys first interactive
label. Each bottle of wine comes with a charcoal pencil, which allows
the buyer to sketch directly on the label, take a photo of their design
and share it using social media outlets. Under the Scratchpad label,
Terravant will release a 2011 Central Coast Chardonnay, a 2012
Central Coast Sauvignon Blanc and a 2011 Central Coast Pinot Noir.
This is an interactive label that encourages consumer to post their
doodlings and messages online to the Scratchpad Facebook page and
on Instagram, explains Eric Guerra, Senior Vice President of
Marketing & Sales. The goal is to encourage consumers to express
their creativity, designing their own label with unique drawings or
artwork. Also, its an ideal gift wine because it allows someone to
quickly create a very personalized note. Guerra believes the label is
only half the appeal of Scratchpad noting, We are considered one of
the finest wineries in the Central Coast region. So, we made a very
conscience decision to offer prestige Central Coast wines all finely
California Wine Festival

crafted here at the Terravant Wine Company.

The 2011 Central Coast Chardonnay ($13) has a pale straw color
with aromas of daffodil, pear and apple and flavors ranging from
peach to lemon tart and crme fraiche and finishing with grapefruit
and green apple. This wine is ready to drink now and will age well
for two to five years.
The 2012 Central Coast Sauvignon Blanc ($11) has a rich
bouquet of honeydew melon, freesia flowers and tropical lime zest.
These hints of melons and tropical lime transition onto the palate and
are accompanied by flavors of lemon-lime citrus rind and a bright
acidity. The mouth feel has an ethereal quality, silky up front leading
to a chalky minerality in the finish. This wine is also ready to drink
now and will age well for two to three years.
The 2011 Central Coast Pinot Noir ($15) is a classic Central
Coast Pinot Noir with a spicy aromatic profile, with hibiscus, dried
sour cherries, forest floor, and a hint of vanilla and smoked bacon in
the nose. Flavors of cherries and juicy, red fruit dominate the midpalate. This wine features prettiness and complexity as only Pinot
Noir can and is ready to drink now and will age well for the next five
to ten years.
The wines are currently available in Connecticut, Indiana, Maine,
New Jersey, New York, Texas and Virginia with additional distribution
slated for later this summer.
Friday, July 18, 6:30-9 pm. Sunset Rare & Reserve Wine Tasting
Limited to just 500 lucky ticketholders, this is the toughest ticket
in town! Californias best winemakers dust off their rare and reserve
level bottles in a wine-lovers fantasy night of sipping the GOOD
STUFF! Some wines being poured are impossible to buy! no

A sparkling Champagne reception greets guests who will then be

wines from the high Sierras, and Californias Central Coast and Santa
Barbara Countys best. Top chefs from Santa Barbaras most popular
restaurants will prepare amazing hot and cold gourmet appetizers
while live music keeps things super cool.
The charming old-world carousel at Chase Palm Park Plaza
provides the backdrop for this romantic summer night under the
stars. A silent auction of fine wines, exotic super-sized-wine bottles
including dozens of magnums, double magnums and special luxury
wine trips will raise money for Foodbank of Santa Barbara.

Turiya Wines
BY CATHY NEUSHUL
For Angela Soleno, winemaking is

not just a job, its a calling. She had a
glass of Chianti in Carmel that inspired
her to change her life. She decided then
and there to embark on a new career
path and find a job in the wine
industry.
Soleno started out working as a
project manager for a winery in Los
Olivos, but soon decided that she
wanted to produce her own wines. Five
years ago, she carefully chose the fruit to make her first blend, and
waited for her wines to mature. Just last April she released her first
wines:
2008 Perpetual Bliss a Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon blend
2008 Syrah, Camp 4 Vineyard
2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, Camp 4 Vineyard
Soleno only produces red wines. If Im going to end up with any
wine left over, I want to drink it, and I like red. In addition, it was a
red wine that set her on her current path. I had a glass of wine that
changed my life, she said.
As a winemaker at a one-person venture she has complete
autonomy over production. She said, I like to be creative with my
blends, combining grapes that are not traditionally blended together.
Once the wines are put into barrels, the waiting begins. Soleno
said she ages her wines for about three years. I personally like wines
that have been aged and are ready for customers. She said she
checks the wines after the two-year mark, but doesnt rush the
process. I want to create a product thats perfect. Its ready when its
ready.
Soleno only produces her wines in small batches. For her first
release, she bottled 46 cases of the Perpetual Bliss, her red blend, and
20 cases of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. While she only produces
a limited supply, she thinks her wines fufill a specific purpose. The
wines I create are for special occasions, she said. She said her wines
as food-friendly, elegant, nuanced, and feminine.
The only way to get a taste of Turiyas wines, however, is by
visiting Solenos Lompoc facility. Soleno said she holds barrel tastings
by appointment at her location at 316 North F Street in Lompoc.
Barrel tastings are $15 per person (this fee is waived with a wine
purchase).
You can make an appointment by calling (805) 478-7016 or
emailing info@turiyawines.com. For more information, visit Turiya
wines website at www.turiyawines.com or on Facebook at
www.facebook.com/Turiyawines.
LOMPOC WINERIES
Wine Tasting in
Montemar
BY MICHAEL CERVIN
Having opened in August of 2013,

Montemar is one of the newest in the Santa
Barbara Countys Lompoc Wine Ghetto.
Owner and winemaker Steve Arrowood
handcrafts Rhne and Burgundian varietals,
making just 1,400 cases of wine sourced
from 10 different vineyards in Santa Barbara.
The ghetto is full of passionate people, who
are all about quality and this is the kind of
place I like to visit, he says. Though Steve
cannot always be in the tasting room, more
often than not you will find him behind the
bar.
The winery was actually started in Palos
Verdes Estates in 1992 out of Steves garage.
One of the many things I love about
winemaking is that it is a lifelong learning
experience and it helps keep the mind and
body youthful, he says. Montemar offers
multiple Pinot Noirs from the Santa Rita Hills
including the near-legendary La Encantada
vineyard as well as 6 other great vineyards I

am a super fan of the Santa Rita Hills AVA
and am proud to be on the AVA's board of

Sonoma and Santa Barbara. These wines aren't overloaded with

tannin, so theyre ready to drink right away, Loring says. The
awesome structure of each wines comes from the acidity, which keeps
the wine bright and fresh despite their richness. Lorings philosophy
on making wine is that the fruit is all that matters. What happens in
the vineyard determines the quality of the wine - I cant make it
better - I can only screw it up, he says. Perhaps this is why he is
extremely picky when choosing vineyards to buy grapes from. Not
only am I looking for the right soil, micro-climate and clones, Im
also looking for a grower with the same passion and dedication to
producing great wine that I have. In other words, a total Pinot freak!
In keeping with this passion for Pinot Noir, Cargasacchi wines
include estate fruit sourced Pinot Noir and an unusual late harvest
Pinot Grigio as well as his Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and
Syrah under the Point Concepcin label from estate and purchased
fruit. But it is Peters out-of-the-way Jalama Vineyard that proves the

Imagine a tasting room which houses two of the most well-known

small lot winemakers in Santa Barbara. Well, imagine no more - the
Loring/Cargasacchi Tasting Room is reality. Relatively new in the
Santa Ynez Valley, this humble tasting room with its simple, clean
lines and look is the perfect subtle backdrop for some killer juice.
Winemakers Peter Cargasacchi of Cargasacchi and Point Conception
labels joined forces with Brian Loring of Loring Wine Company and
have created the latest most in-demand tasting experience.
The tasting room itself has plenty of space inside with two bars
and a picnic area outside. Cargasacchi has new 2012 varietals in the
tasting room including Merlot and a Pinot-Syrah blend, and Loring
just released the 2012 Pinot Noirs from their southern-most
vineyards (a large number of his 2012 Pinots just scored 90 and
above in Wine Spectator).
The 8,500 cases that Loring makes consist of 13 Pinot Noirs, four
Chardonnays, as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvdre, Grenache
and a few blends. There are 23 wines currently available with prices
ranging from $24 to $99, deriving fruit from Paso Robles, Monterey,

most intriguing, and with a remote vineyard site, things can get
tricky.
The area is the bed of an ancient sea so there are large deposits of
diatomaceous earth in and around the vineyards, Cargasacchi says.
Farming the grapes here for his Pinot Noir is challenging because the
area is more extreme weather and the limestone soils produce a
discernable edge and minerality in these wines. Having been a
farming family for over 100 years, means that Peter has a vast
knowledge of exactly how to farm grapes. Where a vine grows and
what type of soil its planted on and its exposure matters a lot, but
good farming and getting proper ripeness is the real essence of
making good wine, he says. You can have the most perfect spot for
a vine on earth but if you don't take care of it, you can forget about
making decent wine. And with this kind of focus both Loring and
Cargasacchi wines will turn your head.
The tasting room is located at 420 East Hwy 246, just off Highway
101 in Buellton, between the iconic Ostrich Land and the Hitching
Post II restaurant. They are open Thursday through Monday from
10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For more information call (805) 691-1300.

SANTA MARIA VALLEY
Welcome to
Cambria Estate Winery

BY MICHAEL CERVIN
Cambria is a family-owned, estate winegrower located in the heart

of the Santa Maria bench, a long flat mesa overlooking the Santa
Maria River in Santa Barbara County.
For over 25 years they have been producing vineyard-designated
wines, all estate grown, produced and bottled at their property so
you get a true expression of land and site.
Cambria is best known for their Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs.
Cambria is currently producing six different iterations of Chardonnay,
of which their Katherines Vineyard has long been one of the
standards in Santa Barbara Chardonnay. And there are seven versions
of Pinot Noir produced at Cambria, and they also make small
amounts of Syrah, Pinot Gris and Viognier, available only at the
tasting room. Cambrias vineyards thrive on the foothills of the largest
east-west oriented valley and mountain range on the West Coast, and
with the Pacific Ocean just 15 miles away, coastal air and fog
mitigates the sun exposure on these south-facing vineyards. Known
as a Level 1 climate zone, it is one of the coolest wine-growing
regions in the world, making for a long growing season which results
in concentrated flavors in the fruit. Fourteen different types of soil
make up four distinct vineyards on just over 1,600 acres all meaning
that the wines of Cambria are varied, distinct and unique.
The tasting room sits above the tanks and barrels which you can
view from the second story glass windows, and the small but
sophisticated tasting room also has a few outdoor tables and chairs in
which to wile away the hours. Bottle prices range from $22 to $80
and tasting fees are $10. Their website offers a terrific blog, dedicated
to a variety of delicious recipes to be paired with their wines, so youll
find some mouthwatering ideas.
Cambria is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit them at 5475
Chardonnay Ln. in Santa Maria. (805) 937-8091,

winemaking. Using time-honored techniques, he creates wines with
personality and depth. Eclectic, off-beat and forgotten varietals fuel
his passion and creativity. His limited edition wines are available

The tasting rooms rustic ambience invites you to focus in on the
wines and encourages dialog on a variety of topics with the well-read
Bedford staff. A generous garden courtyard is well suited for a
relaxed picnic. This is what wine tasting should be: wines that are
not main stream, an unrushed, intimate atmosphere and great
conversation.

Firestone is one of the few wineries in Santa Barbara wine country
who offer a comprehensive and complimentary public tour running

of wine country and view the vineyards which have been planted on
a series of mesas, which have gravelly sub-soils making them ideal
for keeping the grapevines healthy and well-drained. The vineyards
sites are ideally oriented to capture the sun and ocean breezes for
perfect exposure which maximizes the flavors.
The spacious tasting room has multiple tasting bars and is
informal yet urbane with soft wood tones and tiled floors,
reminiscent of a ranch house with views out to the vineyards. The
tasting room also offers plenty of gift items as well. Their bottle prices
range from $15 to $60, with the majority of wines being under $25.
Their wine club highlights tasting room only wines, notably
their Reserve Chardonnay, Clone 174 Syrah and Cabernet Franc.

Wine Tasting in
Cimarone Wines
BY CATHY NEUSHUL
SAN MARCOS PASS RD
FIGUEROA MTN
Roger and Priscilla Higgins, owners of Cimarone Wines, are

people willing to take a chance to create something special. After
having prosperous careers in the Silicon Valley, they decided to
pursue a new course to make great wines. In order to find the right
place, they visited the Santa Ynez Valley. They drove down Highway
154, took one look at the valley below, and knew it was the place
they wanted to be.
Having been involved in cutting edge industries in their former
careers, the Higgins approached winemaking in an entrepreneurial
spirit. Instead of choosing to make wines in an already established
area, like Napa, they decided to take a gamble on an untested
location. They chose to set up their winery in Happy Canyon in Santa
Ynez.
Happy Canyon was named an AVA in 2009, and local lore has it

that this isnt the first time it has been known for its alcohol. During
Prohibition, there was said to be a distillery producing alcohol in the
canyon, and people used to say They were taking a trip up Happy
Canyon.
Cimarone Wines are products of Happy Canyons unique climate.
The canyon has the highest temperatures in the Santa Ynez Valley,
gravelly, serpentine soil and a mineral terroir coming from the Los
Padres National Forest. It provides the perfect climate to produce the
Bordeaux varietals that are Cimarones specialty.
One of Cimarones most popular wines is the 3CV Bank, a blend
of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Merlot
and Syrah. Cimarone also produces a Sangiovese, the 2009 Cimarone
Gran Premio, the 2012 3CV Sauvignon Blanc and a 2012 3CV Cillas
Blend, made from Syrah and Bordeaux varietals, as well as a straight
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and a Malbec.
The Higgins philosophy involves making wines that are
approachable and can be enjoyed by everyone. Their tasting room is
designed to be casual and inviting, and the prices of their wines are
reasonable. You can buy a bottle of one of their most popular wines
for less than $20.

opportunity to experience several new wines each visit. Tastings are
only $10 per person, and includes tastings of up to nine wines,
including four Pinot Noirs, two white wines, two other select reds
and a dessert wine. The sign indicating Consumable Art above the
door is an accurate reflection of the artistry that is reflected in each

of the wines carried.
Visitors will often have the opportunity to taste with owner
Chris Benzinger, whose knowledge of wines is incredibly extensive.
Whether enjoying it now or looking to age it, regardless of the
occasion Benzinger and his staff will be able to help you select the

Wine Tasting in
Larner Vineyard & Winery
BY MICHAEL CERVIN
Our wines are driven by the soil they are derived from, says
winemaker Michael Larner. As a geologist I feel that our soils speak
louder than what I could craft in the winery, however as a winemaker
my influence is more European having worked in both France and
Italy, I strive for balance and harmony coupled with age-worthy
quality wines.
Every wine made locally inspires all of us to greatness, says
Larner. As a founder of the new Ballard Canyon AVA in Santa Barbara
County, Larner and his family-run winery is home to their 34-acre
estate planted to Syrah, Grenache, Mourvdre and Viognier. As a
small tribute to their Italian heritage, the Larners also have one block
of Malvasia Bianca. But it is Syrah where Larner shines. We feel

Syrah is our champion as it is best suited on our estate and represents
the AVA as the strongest varietal, he says. We are special because of
our natural acidity at harvest, promoting longevity and balance. By
selling their grapes before they ever made wine they helped establish
the vineyards reputation for quality. In a sense we did things
backwards, Larner admits but he strongly believes that what sets
them apart is his strict growers philosophy that distinguishes wines
made from those grapes. We have farmed grapes for dozens of
excellent, boutique winemakers over the past decade, many of whom
use the Larner Vineyard designation on their wines, Michael says.
And though he uses much of the fruit for his own wines, his grapes
are still in high demand.
Larner is a small lot producer and their tasting room is open
Thursday through Monday, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and is
located at 2900 Grand Ave., Los Olivos. Contact them directly at

beginning to farm their now-pristine estate vineyard located in Santa
Ynez, which resulted in their first wine vintage in 2009.
The Crist family is certainly admirable as they embrace the true
meaning of a family owned and operated winery. The passion,
determination and unity shared by each family member creates fine
wines that hold true to the concept of love and family. In fact, the
name Cinque Stelle (cheen-kweh stell-lay) is Italian for five star and
each star holds a very special meaning as they represent the
individual members of the Crist family and their unique
contributions and undeniable value in each step of the winemaking
process.
Harvest is considered the most exciting time of the year at Cinque
Stelle because as the grapes come off the vines, the extraordinary
transformation into fine wines begins. Winemaker Matthew Crist
focuses on producing only small-lot, premium wines principally
sourced from their estate vineyard and strategically made to optimize
each varietals unique characteristics. The vineyard yields limited
quantities of ultra-premium fruit specializing in Italian and Spanish
varietals such as Pinot Grigio, Albarino and Tempranillo. Matthew
then makes all of the wines in oak barrels which gives their white
wines truly unique flavor profiles.

Ready for a taste? Visit Natalie Crist at Cinque Stelles tasting room
located in the quaint downtown of Los Olivos where the charming
California community has embraced the family winery since they
opened their doors in town just two years ago. In addition to fine
wine, the Los Olivos location has a womens boutique graced with
fine clothing and accessories. You wont be able to resist its European
flair and comfortable atmosphere that warmly invites you to sip on a
glass of Pinot Grigio as you browse the fine selection of jewelry and
unique gifts.
Fun Fact
Seven horses reside on the Crist ranch with the newest member of
the herd being baby Stella. The adorable filly is featured on the label
of Cinque Stelles very first Tuscan blend.

Wine Tasting in
Wandering Dog Wine Bar

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

if you are looking for a unique winetasting experience. Youll find an
diverse mix of boutique wines that you wont find elsewhere. Charles
and Jody Williams, who own the bar with Jack and Susan Williams,
palate-pick their wines, looking for the best being produced by upand-coming winemakers.
My husband and I taste every wine that we bring on and do not
buy based on price point or scores, said Jody Williams. She added,
We love all kinds of eclectic wines that perhaps some people
wouldnt be in to. How sad would that be if we never tried them just
because they dont get mainstream press?
Some of the Williams current favorites include a Viognier and
Syrah made under the Carucci label, which Williams described as
beautifully done wines, wines made by Kyle Knapp at Press Gang
Cellars, and the products of winemaker Clarissa Nagy, head
winemaker at Riverbench and for her own label Nagy 2.
Its fun to see these boutique producers grow. Many times, we are
a first big account for them. They go on to open their own tasting
rooms and their brands grow. Then, the next crop of young
winemakers are poised to take their places, Williams said.
When visiting the wine bar, you can also get a taste of some of the
best beer the world has to offer. The focus is on imports, and includes
an eclectic selection from Germany, Scotland, Belgium, Sweden,
Iceland and France. However, the wine bar also features beers
produced in the San Diego area. Williams said, They have great beer
down there!
The Wandering Dog has blind tastings every Thursday from 4:00
to 7:00 p.m. in which people try to identify things about a varietal,
including the region it comes from, the price point and alcohol level.
They also offer wine classes the first Friday of every month.
The Wandering Dog Wine Bar is at 1539 C Mission Drive in
Solvang. It is open Monday-Thursday 1:00 to 8:00 p.m., Friday 1:00
to 10:00 p.m. Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m, and Sunday 11:00
a.m. to 8:00 p.m. For more information, call (805) 686-9126 or visit

SIGNATURE VARIETALS
Barrel Tasting
Another popular tasting experience that can be part of a tour or a

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

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

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

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

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