INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER


BY LEN NAPOLITANO

What should I look for on a wine label? Part 2


Here is the kind of information provided on a wine label that is
not required by law. At the discretion of the wine producer, it is given
to help the consumer make a smarter buying decision:
Estate Bottled: Of less importance, but not insignificant, is the
term Estate-Bottled, which can be used only if an appellation appears
on the label and the bottling winery is located within the appellation.
In addition, that wines grapes must either have been grown on the
winerys own property, or controlled by the winery if the vineyards
are not owned by them. One more thing: the grapes must also have
been fermented, and the wine aged and bottled, on the winerys
premises. Whew! In other words, Estate Bottled, means grapes and
wine processing remained under the control of one entity from start
to finish.
France has its own version of estate-bottled wines, stated on labels
with the term Mis en Bouteille au Domaine (or au Chateau).
Estate Grown: This term is not clearly and officially defined by the
governing authority in charge of wine terms (the U.S. Alcohol Tax
and Trade Bureau). In one case, however, it takes on more
significance if the appellation is broad, such as, California and the
grapes are owned and under the control of the producer. Take, for
example, Kendall-Jackson Avant Chardonnay, which indicates the
state appellation, California. The grapes were sourced from areas
scattered across the state: Monterey County, Mendocino County,
Santa Barbara County and Sonoma County, each region selected for
its unique contributions to the overall wine profile and quality and
all are under the ownership of Kendall-Jackson. A consumer who

knows this wines grapes were grown under one umbrella of


ownership might give it an edge against another California
appellation Chardonnay made with grapes whose specifics arent
disclosed to the consumer in most cases, purchased from subcontracted growers. Kendall-Jackson, possibly in an effort to keep the
label less cluttered, decided not to name the grape-growing regions
that sourced their Avant Chardonnay, but they do list them on the
downloadable tech sheet from the wines web page.
Reserve: The term Reserve, another unofficial, unregulated term,
typically identifies one of a winerys best offerings. This might mean
grapes were harvested by hand instead of machine, or selected from
specific vines, like only hillside vines that received the most sunlight,
for example. Or, the wine was given more time in barrel for improved
development. Reserve wines will usually be priced higher than a
producers non-Reserve wines.
Mandatory information on a wine label can be located on either
the back or front of the bottle. With back labels, unfortunately, theres
no consistency in usage. Some describe the wines flavors and aromas,
a few suggest foods for pairing, others paint a picture of the vineyards
growing conditions or give the winerys history. With blended wines,
back labels that break down the compositional percentage of the
various grape varieties are the most helpful.
Dont be surprised if you start seeing back labels giving complete
consumer information similar to what you find on food packaging:
serving portion, calories per serving, nutritional breakdown, and a
list of ingredients. A few brands, like Santa Cruz-based Bonny Doon
Vineyard and Ridge Vineyards, are starting to do it voluntarily. If
more producers follow their lead,
and if consumers begin
demanding the same from all
producers, it might eventually
become mandatory.
Finally, maybe the most
important bit of consumer
information is the price, although

BY JOSH STEIN

Is a Barrel by Another Name as Oaky?


Were Master Shakespeare to have included a winemaker in one of
his plays, the famous phrase might have become To oak or not to
oak? That is the question, and that would have been a spot on
assessment, for few things bring on more questions, anxieties and
myths than the discussion of oak usage and winemaking. Were they
able to offer comment themselves, I imagine a towering oak offering
something along the lines of Chill out and just enjoy because, as
with many other aspects of winegrowing, the discussions tend to
complicate and obscure the reality from the winemakers perspective.
For whites, the decisions come down to the degree, if any, of oak
influence. Many white varieties do not benefit from oak exposure,
and even neutral barrels (barrels used long enough that oak tannin
is no longer perceptible in wines stored therein) can cause a stylistic
miscue since barrels play host to Oenococcus oeni, the bacteria
responsible for malic-to-lactic acid conversion. Unless extraordinary
and expensive precautions are taken, most winemakers would
combine separate lots of filtered oaked and unoaked whites to arrive
at a blend with the desired level of oak influence rather than hoping
to arrive at an ideal middle through chance in the barrel.
Red wines, though, present a bit of a different set of options. Oak
is useful throughout the production process, so some folks will be
using toasted or untoasted oak shavings at the crusher in cooler
harvests to alleviate any underripe green aromatics or flavor
compounds from methoxypyrazines, which contribute cigar or
tobacco at low levels and green pepper or grassy, herb-y notes at
higher levels. Winemakers can ferment in barrels either by removing
the heads and punching down into upright barrels or through
reassembling the barrels and using a rotation system to keep the cap
wet by spinning. They can use larger puncheons to give more subtle,
rounder notes to the wine without giving as oaky a presence
liquid volume to surface area matters a lot; the larger the vessel, the

less the influence, everything else being equal.


Post-pressing, most reds are aged either in barrel or in tanks with
some kind of oak adjunct inserted; as with barrel options so go the
adjuncts: winemakers have choices that range from oak source
(American, French, Hungarian, blends and beyond), to toast level, to
toasted or untoasted heads in barrels, and a slew of options for
creating oak effects sans barrels including beans, cubes, spirals,
blocks, sticks-in-chains to fit into barrel bungholes, and staves of
various shapes and sizes for tank inserts. Think back to your first visit
to a big toystore as a kid; now picture an adult kid and you know
how winemakers feel about their oak options. Its great to have
choices, but there are lots of options, and one is not necessarily
better than another.
At the end of the day, oak is like every other part of the
winemaking process: a series of decisions through which the final
wine is realized, and the key thing winemakers must come to terms
with in order to do their best work is that making a particular
decision, or refusing to make it, will have an impact on that final
bottling either way. Winemakers grow and cook with grapes, and
once the process starts, the vessel in which the fermentation takes
place absolutely has an impact but you must start with the best
ingredients possible. Just like cooking. Enjoy!

Josh Stein has been in the Napa wine business for more than a decade, and, in
addition to being owner/winemaker of the Stein Family Wine Group, which
produces a nationally and internationally distributed portfolio of wine brands and
donates a percentage of its sales to the children of wineworkers in the form of
college scholarships and support funds, he regularly consults for wineries and

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK

POSEIDON VINEYARD
& OBSIDIAN RIDGE
Enjoy a Unique and Relaxed Wine Country Experience
BY BONNIE ZIMMERMAN

A visit to the Poseidon Vineyard & Obsidian Ridge Tasting Room at the
Cornerstone Gardens in Sonoma is a true delight. From wind-swept
vineyards by the San Francisco Bay, to lofty Red Hills of Lake County,
Poseidon Vineyard and Obsidian Ridge produce some exceptional wines that
reflect the differences in these two distinctly different terroirs.
Guests are welcomed by a warm, friendly and experienced hospitality staff
where visitors can and can taste wines from both exceptional vineyard for
only $10 per person, or purchase wines by the glass.
For a special afternoon, plan ahead and reserve a 90-minute, private, indepth educational tasting experience. With a taste of Poseidon Vineyard or
Obsidian Ridge wine in hand, a staff member will introduce guests to the
beautiful and unique gardens of Cornerstone as well as adjacent vineyards
with an educational walkabout (weather permitting). Then enjoy a
comfortable fireside chair or a seat on the festive deck as the staff takes you
through a tasting of allocated, reserve and special library selection wines
accompanied by a selection of artisanal cheese. This private tasting is $40
per person and reservations are required in advance.
Arpad Molnar, co-founder and managing partner about his thoughts on
making wine, he stated, The quality of the wine we make really reveals the
incredible quality of the people that work together to make it. It sounds
simple, but we want to make really good wine.
They have succeeded and it is because of their passion for wine and some
incredible properties.
Poseidon Vineyard is at sea level, at the confluence of Carneros Creek and
the Napa River. Maritime fogs appear daily, blown in by cooling Pacific winds
and burned away again by the generous California sun. The river swells with
salty water at high tide. Here, on the lip of the San Francisco Bay, the family
has grown Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes to supply exceptional
California wineries for over forty years. Even after four decades of farming,
this undulating, gravelly bayside terrain continues to inspire exploration and
discovery.
Obsidian Ridge is planted at the highest part of the Mayacamas
Mountains, rising from 2,300 to 2,640 in elevation and range from 5 to 20%
slopes. Wines of elevation are coveted for their rarity, intense dense flavor
profiles, and aging capability.
A visit to Poseidon Vineyard & Obsidian Ridge is a must for adventurous
wine lovers where guests can spend the afternoon on the deck, by the
fireplace, in art-filled gardens or over a game of bocce, while enjoying the
hand-crafted character of single-vineyard wines.

Michelin Star Chef To Board V. Sattui Customer Appreciation Cruise


Guests will discover foods from the Ancient Empires
paired with Napa Valley Wines
One of Italys beloved Michelin Star Chefs will board the
upcoming V. Sattui Presidents Cruise, offering hands-on cooking
classes for guests on the customer appreciation adventure. Stefano
Masanti, Executive Chef and owner of Il Cantinone restaurant in
Madesimo, Italy, will join Tom Davies, President and Co-owner of V.
Sattui Winery, and winemaker Brooks Painter on V. Sattuis Presidents
Cruise. The customer appreciation cruise is scheduled for June 1
through June 16, 2015, aboard Oceania Cruises newest ship, the
Riviera. The cruise departs from Rome and visits the Ancient
Empires, including stops in Italy, Greece, Israel, and Egypt.
Stateroom prices start at $6,874 per person, which includes
roundtrip airfare to Europe. For more information or to reserve call
1-800-367-5348, or email info@foodandwinetrails.com.
This is a great chance to visit the Ancient Empires that are a big
part of the Italian culture and our way of cooking, said Masanti. For
us working with V. Sattui is always a pleasure and a great experience.
Its like cooking for your best friends and family.
Il Cantinone is located high above Lake Como in the Italian Alps.
Chef Masanti is an advocate of the Slow Food philosophy of cooking,
and he uses local, seasonal and organic ingredients whenever
possible. For this journey, Masanti will help cooking class
participants discover new foods and flavors from the ports of call on
the cruise. He will take class participants to a local farmers market,
and the group will choose their ingredients. Theyll return to the Bon
Appetit Culinary Center on the Riviera, a kitchen classroom with 24
stations. Masanti will put his students to work to help create a menu
inspired by the ingredients in a hands-on cooking class. Class
participants will enjoy their finished dishes paired with V. Sattui
wines.

Follow us on Twitter @WineCountryTW

We are elated that Chef Masanti is boarding this cruise, said Tom
Davies, President of V. Sattui Winery. Stefano has become a good
friend of our winery and our customers. He understands our Italian
heritage, our love of good food and wine, and how to make a
gathering of friends and family memorable. This is going to be a
culinary adventure of a lifetime.
Davies met Masanti six years ago at Il Cantinone while vacationing
in Madesimo. The relationship has grown and, in 2009, 2010 and
2014, Masanti traveled to the Napa Valley to present a cooking
demonstration and prepare a six-course dinner for V. Sattuis annual
Harvest Ball.
V. Sattui Winery is a family-owned property located in the heart of
Napa Valley, that was founded in 1885 and makes more than 60
different wines with dozens of 90+ point rated wines among its
current vintages. It is a stunning, must-see Napa Valley destination
for picnics, weddings and events, offering an impressively robust
Cheese Shop with more than 200 selections. Executive Chef Gerardo
Sainato and his staff create mouthwatering salads, sandwiches,
paninis and entrees in the Deli. V. Sattui also makes house-cured
meats from its own Salumeria, and gelato and sorbetto from its own
Gelateria. The sprawling estate includes two-dozen picnic tables
nestled beneath ancient Valley Oak trees and tri-level terraces that
overlook beautifully manicured gardens and vineyards.
V. Sattui Director of Winemaking, Brooks Painter, was recognized
as Winemaker of the Year at the San Francisco International Wine
Competition in June of 2013, and in 2014 V. Sattui was named
Winery of the Year for the third year in a row at the Winemakers
Challenge. This marked the tenth time in the last decade that the
Winery has been given that honor at a major national competition.
In addition, V. Sattui garnered Best Winery in the Bay Area for the
third year in a row in the San Francisco Bay Guardian 2014 Readers
Poll.

November means its time to celebrate Americas natural bounty. For food and wine lovers,
this includes celebrating the fall harvests of our countrys talented winemakers. Each year a select
group of these vintners commemorates their feat at Vintners Holidays, a nationally renowned
wine festival held in one of the most beautiful places on Earth Yosemite National Park.
Marking 33 years in 2014, Vintners Holidays brings authentic winemakers not sales reps
together with Yosemite guests for a top-shelf event featuring good times and great wines.
Whats even more special about the experience is that all the action takes place inside the
legendary AAA 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 seven sessions
that run from November 4 to December 4 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 Ahwahnees culinary team design the custom gala menu
to pair perfectly with each sessions featured wines. Not only is the atmosphere stunning, but the
flavors are equally world class.
Each year, this event attracts more than 25 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 2014 (November 46)
welcomes Bill Phelps of Joseph Phelps Vineyards, maker of Insignia, Wine Spectators Wine of
the Year in 2005. Nearly forty years after the inaugural vintage, Insignia is still recognized as one
of the worlds great wines.
Session two (November 9-11) features the renowned winemaker Mike Chelini, who has been
with Stony Hill Vineyard since 1977, making him the longest-tenured winemaker in Napa
Valley.
For the third session (November 12-13), The Ahwahnee is excited for the return of Daniel
Baron and David Duncan of Silver Oak Cellars. Silver Oak Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon has been
called the crme de la crme of the heady red and is consistently met with critical acclaim. It

won the Years Best Cabernet
Sauvignon from Wine & Spirits
Magazine in 2012.
The fourth session (November
16-18) will be moderated by Fred
Dame, who recently appeared in
the critically acclaimed
documentary Somm, which follows
four ambitious wine enthusiasts as
they attempt to become master
sommeliers. He is also the firstever American to become President
of the Court of Master Sommeliers.
Session five (November 1920)
includes Beth Nickel, co-owner of
the iconic Far Niente. The winery
is known as one of the most
beautiful estates in Napa Valley
that, through its artful restoration,
is now on the National Register of
Historical Places.
The sixth session (November
30December 2) presents Violet
Grgich of Grgich Hills Estate. This
renowned winery was founded by
Mike Grgich, whose Chardonnay
was named best white wine during
the infamous Paris Tasting of
1976.
The final session of the 2014
Vintners Holidays (December 34)
highlights K.R. Rombauer of
family-owned Rombauer
Vineyards. Since 1982 when the
winery was founded, the
Rombauer family has emphasized
the joy of wine and the importance
of pairing it with great food. This
makes sense K.R.s great aunt was
Irma Rombauer, author of the
famous cookbook The Joy of
Cooking.
In all, the Vintners Holidays
experience is a lavish yet tasteful
adventure. Youll get closer to
people who share similar passions.
Youll get closer to the finest wines
that North America can produce.
Plus, youll get closer to a
wilderness that captivates the
imaginations of all who visit. For

Holidays and a valley of autumn

Hess Collection Winemaker David Guffy


on the Importance of Sustainability
BY BONNIE ZIMMERMAN

Winemaker David Guffy spends time in the vineyards throughout the


year. I learned very early that I have to walk the vines. During harvest, I
continually taste the grapes to keep an eye on the maturity of flavors and
tannins to ensure the best expression of a particular vineyard. As a student I
loved Cabernet, especially from Napa Valley and it inspired me to go into
winemaking. Now, Im literally on top of Napa, making mountain
Cabernets. Mountain fruit is different from valley floor fruit and so are the
wines. They are structured, complex, rich wines, with distinctive tannins
for long-term aging and concentrated fruit.
A California native who grew up in San Jose, David spent summers with
his grandparents on a 500-acre Kansas farm and has been at the forefront of
sustainable vineyard practices. Being environmentally conscious is not
only the right thing to do, but in the end produces the best tasting wine.
For the past 15 years Dave has been the winemaker for The Hess
Collection, which is located in a historic winery high atop Mount Veeder in
Napa Valley. Donald Hess established his first Mount Veeder vineyard in
1978, and today, they farm about 1,034 acres, all sustainably, with 704
acres of that total in Napa Valley.
From the beginning, Donald Hess brought forward a philosophy of
delivering wines that speak to their natural origins. To honor where the

vines come from, and what they offer, Hess farms sustainably and
conducts their business in a sustainable manner.
The Hess Collection was among the first of Californias wineries to
embrace and become a member of the California Sustainable
Winegrowing Alliance and was one of the first to receive certification
in the Napa Green Winery program. Dave oversees soil management,
water conservation, erosion protection, integrated pest management,
raptors and the use of goats to clear brush in the springtime. Hess
currently has a small flock of about 100 goats that are released in the
vineyards just prior to bud break to help with weed control and to
minimize the use of tractors. Hess also takes a lead in green
packaging, production and in every-day business practices.
The Mount Veeder wines that Dave creates are some of the best in
the world. The 2010 Hess Collection 19 Block Mountain Cuvee
received 93 points from Wine & Spirits Magazine and 90 points from
The Tasting Panel. The 2010 Hess Collection Cabernet Sauvignon
received 92 points from Wine Spectator and 91 points and a Cellar
Selection from Wine Enthusiast.
At the forefront of sustainable winemaking and crafting incredible
wines, Dave Guffy has established a precedent that raises the bar in
wine country.

Photographs by Legendary Graham Nash at


Mumm Napas Fine Art Photography Gallery
My Life Through My Lens Exhibit Runs Through January 31, 2015
More than 50 photographs by legendary singer-songwriter
Graham Nash will be on display in a new exhibition at the Fine Art
Photography Gallery at Mumm Napa in Rutherford. Titled My Life
Through My Lens, Photographs by Graham Nash, the exhibit runs
now through January 31 at the winerys Fine Art Photography
Gallery.
In addition to his prodigious talent for music, Graham Nash is
also an internationally renowned photographer, collector and digital
imaging pioneer. My Life through My Lens was curated specifically
for the Fine Art Photography Gallery at Mumm Napa by Theron
Kabrich of the San Francisco Art Exchange (SFAE). This collection
of over 50 images beautifully illustrates that Nashs celebrated talent
as a compelling storyteller seamlessly carries over into his
photography. With autobiographical intimacy, and as only Graham
Nash could have photographed them, the exhibition includes
artfully crafted pictures of friends such as David Crosby, Jerry
Garcia, and Johnny Cash who have been part of his long and
influential career.
Inspired by his father, Nash began taking pictures at the age of
11. Prompted by his friend Joni Mitchell, with whom he once lived
and who was the inspiration for his song Our House, Nash began to
exhibit his photographs in 1990. Since then his work has appeared
in solo and group exhibitions in museums and galleries around the
world, including at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The
Eastman House, and the Butler Museum of American Art. His
company Nash Editions original IRIS 3047 digital printer and one
of its first published works Nashs 1969 portrait of David Crosby
is now housed in the National Museum of American History at the
Smithsonian Institution in recognition of his revolutionary
accomplishments in the fine arts and digital printing world.
Visitor center and gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
Additionally, the winery and gallerys Summer Hours are Friday
through Sunday from 10 a.m to 6 p.m. through October. There is

no charge to view My Life Through My Lens. Mumm Napa is


located at 8445 Silverado Trail, Rutherford, CA 94573. All
photography in the exhibit is represented by SFAE.
Mumm Napa is one of Californias top sparkling wine producers
and one of the most popular destinations for wine country visitors.
For more than 20 years, Mumm Napa sparkling wines have set the
standard for California mthode traditionnelle sparkling wine,
emphasizing the exceptional qualities of Napa Valley fruit along
with the unique casual elegance of the Napa Valley lifestyle. The
winery and visitor center are located in Rutherford along the
Silverado Trail in the Napa Valley and are open daily for tours,
tastings and private events.

Invite Frank Family Vineyards to Your Holiday Table


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

Rich, Leslie and Riley


of Frank Family Vineyards

and fruitiness, and drenches the palate with every single drop.
Pairs perfectly with the spiced desserts often enjoyed on
Thanksgiving, especially Pumpkin and Rhubarb Pies. Pamper
your guests with this perfect dessert wine and you may be
remembered as the best Thanksgiving host ever.
Frank Family won the Best Winery in Napa award for five
consecutive years in the Bay Area A-List. These wines are all available
at the tasting room, located at 1091 Larkmead Lane, Calistoga,
94515. No appointment necessary, but because of its popularity, we

Perfect Pairs

BY MELISSA VOGT

Spaghetti with Sausage


& Squash Paired with
Andretti Winery Barbera
Authentic Italian Pairing with a Twist
Barbera and spaghetti is an Italian match made in heaven. This
particular pairing from Andretti Winery brings its own unique spin
to this authentic Italian dish. Andretti Winery is located in Napa
Valley and their wine collection features an array of varietals,
including a few Italian favorites such as Barbera, Sangiovese and
Pinot Grigio. These varietals reflect the Italian heritage of Andrettis
owners and winemaker and prove to be delicious, food-friendly
wines.
The 2013 Barbera from Andretti Winery exhibits delicious
flavors of dark cherry and plum fruit, alongside notes of spicy
black pepper. Since this red wine is lighter in style and body than
other red wines, when pairing, one must be careful not to choose a
dish that will overpower the wine. With that being said, Andretti
has chosen the Italian classic of spaghetti, but decided to use a
butternut squash-based sauce instead of a tomato-based sauce
which would be much heavier and more acidic. Barbera is a wine
that is already naturally high in acid, so it is good to provide
contrast when pairing with Barbera to help tone down the
brightness.
The way the creamy butternut squash mingles with the light
body and natural acidity of the Barbera is wonderful. The squash
gives more weight to the body of the wine and rounds out the
mouthfeel, while the sweet flavor of the squash perfectly contrasts
the wines tart dark cherry and plum notes. To bring a little depth
to this pairing, the addition of garlic, pepper and sage really make
the flavors in the wine pop. The natural pepper notes in the
Barbera are an appropriate complement to the black pepper. Sage
and garlic add an extra earthy element to the pairing which
enhances the whole experience. Of course, the density of the
sausage also brings an element of richness to this pairing; the great
flavor and spice of the sausage darken the fruit notes and balance
out the acid giving the wine more complexity and body. As if it
couldnt get any better, the generously-sprinkled parmesan cheese
gives this dish a pungency which accentuates the Barbera and
makes the flavors come alive on the taste buds.
Interested in more Italian pairings? Stop by the Andretti Winery
tasting room at 4162 Big Ranch Road in Napa, open daily from
10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., to taste through their portfolio and pick up a
bottle of one of their Italian varietals. Their tasting room staff will
gladly recommend a pairing dish to complement your purchase.

Spaghetti with Sausage & Squash


4 sausage links, removed from casings
4 cups diced, peeled butternut squash
3 cloves garlic, peeled & minced
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Salt & pepper
4 large fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
Grated parmesan cheese
1 pound spaghetti, or pasta of choice
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Toss the diced squash with two tablespoons of the olive oil and place
on a baking sheet.
Roast until the squash is soft and golden brown, about 20 to 25
minutes.
While the squash is roasting, heat the remaining two tablespoons of
olive oil in a heavy frying pan and once hot add the sausage and
cook until lightly browned breaking it up with a fork as it cooks.
Add the garlic and chopped fresh sage, and cook an additional
minute or two.
Cook the pasta in lightly salted water until al dente.
Drain the pasta, withholding one small cup of the pasta water.
Add the sausage and squash to the pasta and toss well, adding about
1/2 cup of water.
Cook over medium heat stirring continuously to mix the ingredients
well, allowing the squash to soften and melt into the pasta.
Spoon into individual serving bowls and sprinkle generously with
Parmesan Cheese and serve with crusty Italian bread and olive oil.

MYRTLEDALE

BENNETT LANE
WINERY

For over 100 years, health-conscious visitors have flocked to the


charming Napa Valley town of Calistoga to soak in the mineral-rich
hot springs that burble to the surface there. These days, along with the
hot springs, the lure of world-class wineries, restaurants and lodgings
is bringing more visitors than ever to Calistoga.
Have you ever had a mud bath? Well, grab your mate or your BFF
and book a double mud bath, where you can chat as you relax and
detoxify in comfortably warm organic volcanic mud. Single mud
baths are available, too. You really should experience this once in your
life its amazing!
Other therapeutic spa treatments include massage, foot reflexology,
herbal facials and nice, long soaks in the indoor Hot Springs Pool and
Jacuzzi (day
use of the pool and Jacuzzi is complimentary, whenever
3718 ST HELENA HWY NO, CALISTOGA

you enjoy WWW.MADRIGALFAMILYWINERY.COM
spa treatments
or an overnight stay). Pick any combination
of treatments or simply enjoy one. All treatments may be experienced
as a couple, or solo, in Golden Havens private treatment rooms. The
spa is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily
Golden Haven Hot Springs Spa & Resort is located at 1713 Lake
Street, Calistoga, CA 94515. For more information, call (707) 9428000 or visit the website at www.goldenhaven.com.

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

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

1091 Larkmead Lane, 4 miles north of St. Helena

Eleventh Annual Pinot On The River Festival,


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

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

Russian River Valley Celebrates Single Vineyard Wines


at 5th Annual Single Vineyard Night in San Francisco
Artisan Cheese, KRAVE Jerky and others. A silent auction will
feature several opportunities to win exclusive wines and experiences
in the Russian River Valley. The prizes are valued up to $750 and
include private tours and tastings, signed large format or library
bottles and elegant overnight stays. For collectors, 100 Instant
Cellar raffle tickets will be sold, offering the winner over three cases
of acclaimed Russian River Valley wines.
San Francisco wine enthusiasts are acutely appreciative of the
world-class wines that are produced just an hour from their home;
Single Vineyard Night allows us to expand their already sophisticated
palates with more rare, perhaps lesser known wines, says Donatiello.
Its an added bonus that while the event brings the wines of the
Russian River Valley right to their neighborhood, many of the auction
lots offer fantastic opportunities for city wine lovers to travel north
and enjoy our neighborhood!
Single Vineyard Night begins at 6:30 p.m. November 5, with
general tickets at $55. A $65 VIP ticket affords early admittance at
5:30 p.m. and other perks. An Expert Sommelier Seminar prior to
the event will feature a distinguished panel of some of San Franciscos
finest sommeliers, who will discuss their favorite single vineyard

More than 30 Acclaimed Wineries to Pour Limited-Production Vintages


Wednesday, November 5 from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
More than 30 of the Russian River Valleys most preeminent
winemakers and winery proprietors will gather at San Franciscos
Fort Mason Generals Residence for an evening celebrating some of
the more rare, limited-production vintages of the region. The fifth
annual, aptly named Single Vineyard Night will showcase just that
small lot wines hailing from single vineyards throughout the
esteemed AVA, boasting rich flavors that perfectly display the distinct
soil and climate of the region. As they savor the nuances of these
special wines, attendees will enjoy the added benefit of expert
guidance from the winemakers and growers themselves.
The Russian River Valley has long been acclaimed for our varied
soils and climates throughout the AVA, which account for the
beautifully complex nature of our wines, says RRVW president,
Chris Donatiello. What is fascinating to both, experienced wine
aficionados and novices, is that single vineyard wines offer many

ARMIDA WINERY
Putting the Focus on What Matters: Great Wines
and Fun Times in Healdsburg and Capitola
BY JOSH STEIN

Open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.


2201 Westside Rd, Healdsburg, CA 95448
(707) 433-2222 | www.armida.com

56

Armida Winery is the product of two brothers vision, and fittingly enough, it
combines two seemingly disparate wine goals with aplumb. For two decades, Steve
and Bruce Cousins have been making vineyard-designate wines, generally a fairly
serious business, but they have also tried to produce good humor along with their
great wines, and to that end, they have created not one but two fantastic spots to
enjoy their range of releases in relaxed, carefree comfort.
Surrounding the winery itself is the Armida Estate, the seven-and-a-half acre
hillside vineyard the brothers acquired in 1994 and replanted in 2000. This was a
unique piece of land in that nothing had ever been grown on it; the hillside was
gently contoured for erosion-free drainage, and an extensive system of
subterranean tiles and drainage pipes were installed. Because of their heritage and
the particular Mediterranean-like growing region of this southern tip of the Dry
Creek Valley, the Cousins brothers decided to plant an Italian field blend
composed of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Carignan, which are all picked at the same
time and co-fermented to create an opulent, dense and structured wine that has
been nick-named Il Campo and which harkens back to Sonoma Countys wine
roots.
If the idea of a true field blend straight out of the nineteenth century isnt
enough to pique your interest, there is plenty more to taste, too. The winerys
vineyard-designates include bottlings from a whos who of North Coast
winegrowing greats: Bacigalupi Pinot Noir, Castelli Knight Pinot Noir, Durrell
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Gaps Crown Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Gold Mine
Zinfandel, Maple and Maple Tinas Block Zinfandels and Parmelee-Hill Pinot Noir

and Zinfandel. Additonally, and not


forgetting the fun side of things,
they also make the Wine to Die For
PoiZin, the SurfZin and the Pinot
Gris-based ANTIDOTE, as well as
bottlings of Sauvignon Blanc and
Petite Sirah.
The winery provides two different
options for tasting these delicious
releases. Located minutes from the
Healdsburg plaza in the hills just west
of Westside Road, the winery tasting room is a geodesic dome with a
large viewing window to the south, encompassing panoramic views
of the Russian River and Dry Creek Valleys and the Mayacama
mountain range beyond. There are multiple picnic areas, including
the Patio, the Lawn and Oak Hill; each has its own charm, and each
provides amazing views without the necessity of walls or windows.
The full-size bocce court is complete with balls and overlooks
rosebeds, ponds, vineyards and the valley below, providing the
perfect spot for relaxed enjoyment of wine, food and lawn games.
Equally, the Capitola tasting room allows for wine country to meet
beach town, and its no surprise that the views of the Santa Cruz
mountains and Monterey Bay allow for just that. There, in Capitola
Village, surrounded by award-winning restaurants, artisan shops, art

Follow us on Twitter @WineCountryTW

galleries, boutique clothing shops and even a cigar shop, is Armidas


cozy, intimate second home, the tasting room located close to the
ocean and those views. To find out more about the surrounding
Capitola neighborhood, visit capitolavillage.com. Few wineries
manage a first home this enjoyable, let alone spot number too!
As should be clear, Steve and Bruce Cousins are quite serious
about making great wines, and they are just as serious about enjoying
them in as relaxed a manner as possible. Its rare to find the
combination of elements which make up the Armida experience,
which is why its more than worth your while to stop in at either
locale: they will be glad to see you and happy to share the good
times. Make it a point to visit when next by the sea or in Sonoma
wine country youll be glad you did. Enjoy!
