WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK

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

www.WineCountryThisWeek.com

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.

INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER


BY LEN NAPOLITANO

Why are some wines blended?


The term blend refers to a wine composed of two or more
different varietal wines. Technically, even a single-varietal wine
is built from a blend of wines: though the wines are made from
the same grape variety, they may have come from separate
vineyards, fermented with different yeasts, or aged in a variety
of barrels. Whether using the same variety or a combination of
different ones, blending builds a more interesting wine.
Perhaps the most famous blended red wine in the world is
French Bordeaux, a blend of two to five different grapes,
frequently including Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
Bordeauxs other red blending grapes are Petit Verdot
(contributes color and structure), Cabernet Franc (contributes
structure and richness of flavor) and Malbec (contributes flavor
and some sweetness).
The reason Bordeaux winemakers, among others, blend
Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon is to soften, or round out,
Cabernets palate-drying texture. Cabernet can have more
aggressive tannin, an astringent quality in red wine derived
from grape skins, seeds and stems during maceration and
fermentation. Cabernet Sauvignon grapes naturally develop

more tannin than Merlot, so blending them lessens Cabernets


rigidity.
There are also red wines made in Bordeaux from a single
grape variety, as well as delicious white wine blends made from
the Sauvignon Blanc and Smillon grapes. In the Rhne Valley,
another legendary French region, blending a small amount of
white wine with red wine makes the aromatic, deeply colored
Chteauneuf-du-Pape. It is made from a blend of up to 13
different grape varieties, including Syrah, a red grape and
Viognier, a white wine grape. Additionally, Australian and
American wines have had great success blending Syrah with
Cabernet Sauvignon.
The breakdown in percentages of the varieties that make
up a blend may be indicated on the label, depending on the
country of origin, though it is not required for American
wines.
Finally, when producers in the United States make a
blended red wine using the same grapes as a classic Bordeauxblend wine, they are permitted to identify the wine as Meritage
(rhymes with heritage), a unique, and legally protected term.

BY JOSH STEIN

Trellising: Herein Hangs a Tale


Every grape vine pretty much looks like every other one, right?
Well, while driving past them it may seem to be the case, but the
truth is small differences in the shape of the vines can have major
impacts on wine quality, yield, bouquet, taste and mouthfeel.
Believe it or not, the shape the grapes are grown within has a
major but often unrecognized impact on what ends up in your
glass. Trellising is dirty, un-sexy work, but its the lifeblood of
growing great wines. The canopy is what converts sunlight into
wine, so its vital on many levels. And since most of the
fieldwork is done in cool times of the day when other folks arent
around, few outside the industry ever really see how the vines
create the future for that years wines.
Each style of trellising has to take into account a number of
variables along the way to creating a structure which allows for
vine balance; thats whats key to producing grapes with lots of
flavor without damaging the vine or its roots through stress, overor under-cropping, or mismatching vine to location. These
options include number of shoots per vine, number of leaves per
shoot, number of clusters per shoot, orientation toward the sun,
shading of the grapes via the canopy, and the overall shape of the
canopy, which is determined by the guidewires of the trellis.
There are dozens of possible combinations in commercial use
today. Walk along the edges of several vineyards anywhere in
wine country, and you will immediately see some of these small
but vital differences.
There are two basic kinds of trellising, though, vis--vis various
ways of positioning the shoots vertically to maximize access to
sunlight while maintaining less vigorous growth in poor, infertile
soils, or different styles of dividing the canopy vertically or
horizontally to control for vigorous growth in soil too-good for

grapevines. How can soil be too good, right? Everything weve


absorbed about growing things the right way is the opposite for
winegrowing. Soil that is too good encourages excess leaves and
excess fruit. The former stresses the vine and requires more
irrigation, keeping the vine from putting its energy into the
grapes. The latter dilutes the flavors in the resulting wines. When
winegrowers talk about balance is key, thats what they mean: all
of the elements are properly enfolded together.
Some of the more common vertical shoot positionings, known
generally as VSP, take the forms of candelabra. Guyot divides
the vine quite low to the ground, leaving just two canes regrown
each year below guidewires, to which shoots will attach
themselves. VSP generally makes the arms permanent, allowing
for spurs on the arms from which the vertical shoots grow, and
cordon goes one step further with its permanency, with the shoots
generally positioned up, over, and then back down so that the
clusters are shaded from direct sunlight by how they grow once
positioned.
In contrast, divided canopy trellising is designed to try to take
away excess growth by making the vine work harder for what it
does put out. Winegrowers do this by creating more sections with
more canes, shoots, and/or cordons. Scott Henry creates multiple
vertical canopies, making the vine work twice as hard. California
Sprawl separates the canopy in two, flopping large sections of
growth to each side; Lyre uses movable guide arms to open or
close the V and the flop. Geneva Double Curtain creates up to
four cordons for each vine, doubling vine energy needs
horizontally in contrast to Scott Henrys upright, split form and
forcing it to work much harder to produce its fruit.
Do the range of options really matter? Absolutely, as the trellis
style alone has been shown to have an impact on all levels of wine
expression: softening or hardening tannins; adding or removing
flavors, aromas, and range of ripeness options; affecting yield,
concentration, and vine life. The term winegrowing is a bit of a
linguistic oddity, for sure, but as you can see, its absolutely
appropriate. One of the reasons its quite fair to say civilization is
wine is that, unlike just about everything else we produce, wine
requires our constant attentioneven long before a single grape
is harvested a bud breaks or anyone else is awake. Cheers!

an Unparalleled Arts and Epicurean Experience Tickets on Sale Now
With performances by multi-platinum-selling artists including

stars, and the finest wines, the inaugural Yountville Live offers the

Napa Valley. Tickets are on sale now at Yountville Live.com.
Long considered the culinary and viticultural center of Napa
Valley, Yountville is ultimate luxury get-away. With its world-class
restaurants and lodging, and many of the Valleys most celebrated

sophisticated lifestyle rooted in food, wine, arts, lush scenery and
access to outdoor pursuits.
Yountville Live, presented by Volvo Cars of North America, offers
a limited number of attendees unparalleled access to top recording
artists, winemakers, and world-renowned chefs during a four-day
super-luxe weekend of exclusive concerts, wine tastings, sumptuous
meals and private winery tours. Yountvilles finest resorts and
intimate inns are host to attendees who enjoy a total immersion in
music, wine and food not to mention Yountvilles spectacular Wine
Country setting. This is an experience only Yountville can provide.
A star-studded line-up features Colbie Caillat, O.A.R, and Matt
Nathanson performing at the Lincoln Theater, with additional artists
to be announced soon.
Beginning on Thursday, Yountville Live breaks out into different
tracks over the course of the festival, providing numerous intimate

experiences each day. Several events are hosted at restaurants and


wineries among the Yountville areas most revered and will feature
acoustic performances and food-and-wine pairings.
On Saturday, March 21, the festival partners with the longstanding Taste of Yountville for a grand tasting and music by some
of todays hottest and upcoming artists. The day will culminate with
a performance by platinum-selling group O.A.R. at Lincoln Theater.
O.A.R. is currently on tour across the country for their eighth album
The Rockville LP featuring their new single Favorite Song.
Sunday attendees will be treated to a one-of-a-kind brunch
followed by performances by Colbie Caillat and Matt Nathanson.

setting. Wine tasting is $10 per person and features five hand-crafted wines.

expression. Only 89 cases of this wine have been produced and it is selling out
quickly. The retail price is only $32 bottle.

The Napa Valley: Destiny Fulfilled


Founded in 1968, on five and a half acres of prime Oakville soil, Napa
Cellars embodies the classic Napa Valley style ripe, rich, balanced and
collectable. Most importantly, the wines of Napa Cellars taste of this great
wine region as much as the grape. Joe Shirley became winemaker in 2007
and has since built the portfolio into a stunning line-up of wines.
Most recently, the wines have garnered wide recognition with critics and
media. The stainless steel aged Sauvignon Blanc won a Gold Medal and
title of Best California Sauvignon Blanc as Best for its 2013 vintage from
The Fifty Best Magazine. Additionally, the wine received a Gold Medal in the
2015 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, while the 2012
Zinfandel was awarded Double Gold.
At Napa Cellars, there is a distinctive energy inspired by the winemaker,
the wines, and the people who pour them. The tasting room and
courtyard, located on Highway 29, is an inviting place to taste and relax.
Visitors can enjoy an indoor tasting or purchase a bottle (or two) and enjoy
a picnic on the patio overlooking Napa Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon
vineyards. For those who want to relive the experience when they return

HALL Wines is internationally known for Napa Valley


Cabernet Sauvignon from two cutting-edge, gravity-flow wineries
in St. Helena and Rutherford. Owned by Craig and Kathryn Hall,
its estates include four Certified Organic vineyards growing the
classic Bordeaux varieties on more than five hundred acres.
HALL Wines employs high-density plantings and small vine
viticulture combined with the most modern of winemaking
practices. In addition, the HALL St. Helena winery was the first
LEED Gold Certified Winery in the State of California in 2009
and earned another LEED Gold certification for its high-tech
production facility and second tasting room in 2014, making
HALL Wines pioneers in the use of green buildings for the wine
industry.
Recognizing the need to link place and variety, the Halls
turned to coastal regions for their third winery, WALT Wines,
which specializes in premier, small-lot Pinot Noir and
Chardonnay from some of the most coveted vineyards along the
Pacific Coast, including the Central Coast, Sonoma County and
Anderson Valley in California and the Willamette Valley in
Oregon. The goal of its site-driven, non-interventionist
winemaking is to create expressive wines which reflect each
growing region. Named to honor Kathryns parents, Bob and
Dolores Walt, who were grape growers in Mendocino County and
inspired Kathryns passion for vineyards and vine, the WALT
Wines Tasting Room opened in 2011 and is located on the Plaza
in Sonoma.
The man in charge of making all this wine production happen
is Steve Leveque, Director of Winemaking for Hall and WALT
Wines. Each vintage, in addition to many other wines, Steve and
his teams craft sixteen distinct Cabernet Sauvignons to
demonstrate the unique characteristics and diversity of Napa
Valley sub-appellations. HALLs highly rated wines have been
rated in the annual Top 100 by the Wine Spectator multiple
times, and its 2010 Exzellenz bottling received 100 points from
Robert Parker at Wine Advocate. In fact, since 2002s inaugural
vintage, more than seventy-five of Steves HALL releases have
been rated 94 points or higher. I love being in Napa at a winery
thats playing to the highest level of making world-class
Cabernet, he says. Its an honor to be working with Kathryn and
Craig Hall, who are such committed, determined, visionary
people. Equally, since its inception in 2011, more than forty
WALT wines have been rated 90 points and above by Wine
Spectator, Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate.
Steve got his start in Napa. Born and raised there, he honed

www.WineCountryThisWeek.com

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINE COUNTRY NEWS


his winemaking techniques during eleven years as a winemaker at
Robert Mondavi Winery in Napa, working with wine consultant
Michel Rolland. He also dedicated three years to creating his own
Pinot Noir label, Oso, for which he learned not only every detail of
making wine but also packaging, marketing, and establishing a wines
image. Steve went on to work as executive vice president and
winemaker of Chalk Hill Estate Winery in Sonoma, where he
handcrafted an award-winning portfolio from small-lot Bordeaux
varietals before coming aboard at HALL and WALT.
His philosophy is minimalism wherever possible. The team sorts
and selects only perfectly ripe fruit, using gravity feeding to gently
move the grapes to the fermentation tanks, where naturally occurring
native yeasts are allowed to ferment before bottling without fining or
filtering. My goal is to be true to the fruit, let it express itself purely
and fully. We work with such a talented team, with such excellent
vineyards, and we go about achieving that in all the right ways:
organically farmed vineyards, hand-sorted fruit, gravity-fed tanks,
and native yeast fermentations, he says. I hope people can taste that
authenticity in our winemaking and a pure expression of the vineyard
when theyre enjoying these wines.
Looking for special ways to try Steves and the teams efforts?
HALL and WALT each have a series of events geared towards those
wanting access to their best wines. A Taste of HALL is a series of
monthly culinary events at the St. Helena winery, led by well known
celebrity Chef MikeC, former host of PBSs Organic Living with the

Hippy Gourmet and executive chef of La Botella Republic. Each


guest will take away A Taste of HALL food and wine pairing Recipe
Card featuring the courses and wine pairings served, and all
workshops take place during a lunch hour of three-course meal
paired with HALL and WALT wines. Upcoming dates include The
Magic of Molecular Gastronomy on March 1, Simply Delicious
Springtime Dishes on April 12, Nothing Says Loving Like Cooking
for Mom on May 3 and Chillin & Grillin: Fathers Day Feast on
June 14. To book tickets to A Taste of HALL, go online to

Equally, WALT Wines is offering its own series of events,

winemaking, wine education, vineyard operations and seasonal bites
are provided by Sonoma artisans at the end of each workshop. The

Practices and is hosted by HALL Wines Director of Vineyard
Operations, Don Munk. April 9 brings Sommelier to the Stars with

Judds Hill Winery & MicroCrush


Offers Bottle Blending Day Camp
There are a million reasons to visit the
Napa Valley: the wine, the food, the scenery,
the teambuilding Well, that last one may
not have been high on your list, but if you
are part of an organization that occasionally
has offsite planning meetings or teambuilding excursions then you should
definitely keep Napa top of mind. One Napa
winery in particular, Judds Hill Winery and
MicroCrush, has been at the forefront of
creating innovative excursions to entertain
and educate groups of all sizes for years.
In 2009, the Finkelstein family of Judds
Hill had the forward-thinking idea of
creating a Bottle Blending Day Camp
experience (BBDC for short), during which
visitors to their winery, located at the
southern end of Napas Silverado Trail, can
actually craft their own, personal, Napa
Valley blend. The wines used for this
blending experience currently include barrel
lots of two Cabernet Sauvignons, each from a
different vineyard, plus a Merlot and
Cabernet Franc, all from Napa Valleys
extraordinary 2013 vintage.
Judds Hill specializes in making small lots
of hand-crafted wines for their Judds Hill
label, and for dozens of their Custom
MicroCrush clients. It can take years to

convert clusters of grapes into a ready-todrink bottle of red wine. Blending finished
wine, however, is a vital part of the wine
making process that can be accomplished in
a relatively short time.
These BBDC experiences are led by
extremely knowledgeable and passionate
wine educators and take about two hours to
complete. During the session, a wine
educator will guide blenders through the
intricacies of creating a wine best suited to

30

the tastes of the blender, explaining and


demystifying the process along the way. Once
a favored cuve has been decided upon and a
name is chosen, the newly minted wineblenders will complete the process by
hand-bottling, labeling and spinning foil
capsules over the bottle necks. The wine is
then ready to take home the same day!
Although these blending sessions are
scheduled regularly throughout the week for
small groups, the Judds Hill BBDC
experience is also a wonderful outing for
groups ranging in size from 20 to 250. With
a larger group, the participants are divided
into teams that compete to craft the best
blend as judged by an expert panel. The
winning blend is bottled and given to all
participants to take with them that day. If
your group is in the Bay Area but cant quite
make it up to Napa, the folks at Judds Hill
have a mobile option that brings the
blending session to you! A team
collaboration over a custom cuvee is sure to
be a lively and memorable group experience.
For more details visit juddshill.com or
contact the winery by calling (707) 2552332 or writing to info@juddshill.com.

16 Wineries to Participate in April In Carneros Set For April 18-19


Tickets are $45 in Advance at www.aprilincarneros.com
The only appellation in wine country that can boast the accolades
of both Sonoma and Napa is the Carneros region at the southern end
of both counties. More than 25 years ago, a group of wineries banded
together to promote the area and extol the qualities of the vineyards
and the fine wines they produce. At present, more than 30 wineries
are members of the organization which presents two annual wine
tasting open houses, April in Carneros and Holiday in Carneros.
Known primarily as an excellent Chardonnay and Pinot Noir growing
region, the Carneros appellation is also becoming known for such
surprises as Grenache, Merlot and Petite Sirah due to the warm days
and the cool nights of the growing season in Carneros.
This year, April in Carneros takes place April 18-19 celebrating
the arrival of springtime in wine country. Holiday in Carneros will
usher in the holiday season with all of the wineries decked out in
their holiday finery at this most wonderful time of the year! Both
events offer guests the opportunity to visit familiar and new wineries
in the region at special open houses. Taste wines, new releases as well
as cellar gems, barrel tastings, reserve tastings, discounts and special
pricing, live music, good food and discover what makes each winery
in Carneros a unique experience.
Tickets are $45 per person if purchased in advance at the website
www.aprilincarneros.com. Tickets will be available for $50 per
person the day of the event. Designated driver tickets are $10 in

advance and $15 at the event. Some activities at select wineries may
have additional fees, but all participating wineries have generous
offerings for April in Carneros participants included in the cost of
admission.
A non-profit organization, Hospitality de los Carneros raises
money to support scholarship funding for both Santa Rosa Junior
College and Napa Valley College through the ticket sales of the two
annual events. These are both true community colleges, active in
both communities and educating many in each valleys wine and
hospitality industries.
April in Carneros is the perfect time to drive the back roads of the
Carneros region seeking out the next great Pinot Noir or Chardonnay.
This year 16 wineries will open their doors for the annual spring
tasting including Adastra Wines, Anaba Wines, Bonneau Wines, Ceja
Vineyards, Cline Cellars, Enkido Wines, Homewood Winery, Jacuzzi

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | NAPA VALLEY

Napa Valley Vintners Announces Premiere Napa Valley Wine Offerings


Photo by Bob McClenahan for Napa Valley Vintners.

More than 90% of the wines are from the highly anticipated 2013 vintage
The Napa Valley Vintners invites wine enthusiasts and collectors to
preview the one-of-a-kind, limited production wines that will be
available at Premiere Napa Valley in February 2015. Created solely for
the Premiere Napa Valley portfolio and produced in quantities as
small as 60 and never more than 240 bottles, the wines will be sold
exclusively to members of the wine trade during the nonprofit trade
associations annual barrel tasting and auction. Descriptions of the 225
lots can be viewed at premierenapawines.com
For Premiere Napa Valley, every winemaker crafts a blend that is
truly unique from all of the other wines they produce, notes Michael
Scholz of the St. Supry Estate Vineyards and Winery team that is
chairing the 2015 Premiere Napa Valley Steering Committee. The
barrel they create is the only barrel of its kind making Premiere Napa
Valley one of the rarest wine brands in the world.
Though reminiscent of how Hospice de Beaune wines are
produced, the process is uniquely American. For example,
winemakers might use a grape variety they would not normally bottle
as a stand-alone wine under their own brand. The grapes may be
sourced from a specific part of a single vineyard, or the wine might be
aged using a unique barrel regime not regularly employed by the
winery. Some of the most novel offerings are produced as joint lots
multiple vintners who collaborate to create a blend exclusively for the
Premiere Napa Valley brand.
The wines are offered as futures at the auction only to licensed
members of the wine trade for resale to their customers and ultrapremium wine collectors. Each bottle is hand-labeled, individually
numbered and signed by the winemaker, similar to a limited edition
work of fine art.
The Premiere Napa Valley barrel tasting and auction on February
21 is the culmination of a week rich in wine tasting and educational
and professional networking
experiences hosted by both the
NVV and the vintners who have
crafted the wines. Now in its 19th
year, Premiere Week, as it has
come to be known, is an annual
homecoming for trade and media
to spend intimate time with Napa

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.

Some of the Best Wines in Russian River Valley!

Off the beaten path lies a place worth visiting, savoring, tasting. Balletto Vineyards,
located in the Russian River Valley, promises a one of a kind tasting experience, best
known for their award-winning Pinot Noir, second to none in the wine country.
Balletto produces nine varietals, along with seven vineyard-designate Pinot Noirs and
three different Chardonnays. At the tasting room, a large patio area provides a serene
outdoor setting with a water fountain and spring flowers bordering the picnic tables.
Inside, the atmosphere is warm, relaxed and inviting as a knowledgeable staff stands
behind their wines of great depth and distinction. They talk about each vintage with
passion and detail, but in the end, they just want you to have fun with the wine, savoring
each drop.
Out of the 600 acres of Russian River Valley Vineyards, grape grower, John Balletto and
winemaker Anthony Beckman harvest only 50 acres to make the Balletto wines. By
selecting ten percent of the best grapes, they can maintain the finest quality and style in
their wines. No reservations are required for self-guided vineyard tours and the area
provides walking trails around the lush Laguna.
Theres a new wine on the table, Ballettos 2011 Brut Ros, a beautiful sparkling wine
worth tasting. Its sultry, elegant and luscious; sophisticated yet full of fun. The vintage is a
delicate shade of pink, with aromas of ripening strawberries tinged with citrus. On the
palate, tiny bubbles make the tongue tingle before yielding to an array of complex flavors
of crisp apples with hints of strawberry and citrus, with subtle notes of baked brioche and
a zesty minerality that leads into a seductively dry finish that leaves you craving more.
Yummy! The only thing is this wine will go fast and furious with only 260 cases
produced. The Balletto Brut Ros is created to satisfy the fine Champagne lover, while
exemplifying the individuality that the Russian River appellation has to offer. This is a
must try!
Lastly, dont miss the highly anticipated Barrel Tasting ticketed event on March 6-8,
and 13-15. Attendees will have access to over 140 wineries, including Balletto Vineyards.
For more information go to www.wineroad.com. Tickets sell out fast!
Come for Ballettos unique wine tasting experience, away from the crowds, steeped in
the beauty of good wines and fine times!

10th Annual Pigs & Pinot, Pinot Noir Blend


In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Pigs & Pinot,
winemakers Daryl Groom (Groom) and Jesse Katz (Lancaster
Estates) have produced a limited-production, one-of-a-kind Pinot
Noir blend. This exclusive blend combines select 2013 Pinot Noir
grapes from 12 iconic Sonoma County winemakers from the past
decade of Pigs & Pinot events, including winners of the coveted Pinot
Cup and participants of the Gala dinner. Only one barrel of this
incredible blend is being made and is being sold online. This 2013
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County Pinot Noir is composed of
grapes from the following wineries: Cirq, DeLoach, Paul Hobbs,
Martinelli, Merry Edwards, Papapietro, Perry, Kanzler, Rochioli, Roth,
Williams Selyem, Woodenhead and Kosta Browne.
The 2015 Pigs & Pinot event presents a stimulating line-up of
food and wine seminars, tastings and cook-offs, with all net proceeds
benefitting No Kid Hungrys work to end childhood hunger in
America, as well as local Sonoma County scholarships and charities.
A complete list of our sponsors can be found by visiting
www.PigsandPinot.com.
I couldnt be more proud of what we have accomplished
throughout the ten years of Pigs & Pinot, says Chef Charlie Palmer
(Chef / Owner Dry Creek Kitchen and Hotel Healdsburg), Weve
raised over $500,000 for No Kid Hungry and Sonoma County
charities and scholarships; weve celebrated two Sonoma County
staples, pork and Pinot Noir, and weve truly raised the bar year after
year to enhance the quality of the event and its offerings. I cant wait
for this tenth annual event and Im so thankful for everyone who has
had a hand in Pigs & Pinot over the years.

Creek Kitchen, guest celebrity chefs and local Healdsburg
restaurants.

Saturday, March 21
Tournament of the Pig, 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Pigs & Pinot guest chefs will be divided into two talent-packed
teams. Charlie Palmer and actor/comedian Mario Cantone will host
this iron-chef style competition so guests can once again expect
some lively commentary! The two teams will be given a whole pig,
which they will use to create two distinct dishes, along with
ingredients they can find at Dry Creek Kitchen. A pork-loving
panel of judges will determine the winning team. And yes, the
audience gets to taste, too!
Ultimate Pinot Smack Down; 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m.
Join Master Sommeliers Keith Goldston, Fred Dame, Drew
Hendricks, and Michael Jordan for this exciting March Madnessinspired wine seminar. Each Master Sommelier enters the room
with his personal selection of four Pinot Noirs from around the
world and proceeds to sell his favorites in this lively head-to-head
pitch contest, which includes blind tastings where the audience
picks the winner.
Pigs & Pinot Gala Dinner; 6:30 p.m.
Saturday evenings Pigs & Pinot Gala features a sumptuous fivecourse dinner at Hotel Healdsburgs Dry Creek Kitchen. As a

collaborative offering, each course features a signature creation


from Palmer and his guest chefs including: Ludo Lefebvre, Bryan

be paired with two limited-production Pinot Noirs from highly
acclaimed wineries including Merry Edwards Winery, Alex Gambal,
Peter Michael Winery, MacPhail Family Wines, and Gary Pisoni.
Spoonbars Swine & Wine Dinner 7:00 p.m. at h2hotel
Spoonbars Chef Louis Maldonado (Top Chef Finalist 2014) and
team showcase two very special and passionate Pinot Noir wineries
for their annual Swine & Wine dinner: Brogan Cellars and George
Wine Company. Both wineries are considered cult Pinot Noir
producers and Chef Maldonado does justice to their exceptional
flavor profiles with his food pairings. Whereas Pinot Noir is
normally paired with European flavors, Chef Maldonado will marry
Pinot with an Asian palette from Japan, Korea and Vietnam
with pork as the unifying factor during this 5-course casual chic
dinner. Its a Next Gen Pigs & Pinot that promises to take the
experience to a whole new level.
Pigs & Pinot Late Night is a late evening celebration following the
Gala and Spoonbars Swine & Wine Dinner with after-dinner drinks
and dessert at Hotel Healdsburgs Spirit Bar and fireside lounge. All

LOXTON CELLARS
Connecting Place and Taste
BY SHOSHANA HEBSHI

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


11466 Dunbar Rd, Glen Ellen, CA 94552
(707) 935-7221 | www.loxtonwines.com

www.WineCountryThisWeek.com

Its in the little things that Chris Loxton, the winemaker and owner
of Loxton Cellars, does to create an environment in which visitors not
only taste the wine, but understand its journey made from vine to
glass.
The tasting reinforces what they see, he says, connecting place
and taste.
Loxton Cellars, an unassuming small vineyard just off Highway 12
in the north end of Glen Ellen, comprises just five acres of grapes. Its
tasting room lives in a former racing car garage that now is filled with
oak barrels, the aroma of fermenting grapes and Loxtons joie de vivre.
On most days, wandering into the tasting room, a visitor will find
Loxton, tall and lanky, ready to explain his low-tech process and
introduce people to the small winery experience.
Loxton has a slate of wines to taste that rotates each month. But,
there will always be a Syrah, a Chardonnay and his award-winning
port. As a visitor sips his wines, Loxton can wax poetic about the
connection between what you see and what you taste.
Theres no secrets, he says in a thick Australian accent. His family,
all back in the Adelaide area Down Under, has been growing grapes for
decades. But Loxton has departed from his fathers region of
commercial winemaking to create wine that pairs with food and is part
of a meal.
These are wines without compromise, he says.
Loxtons wines are sold only in the tasting room and at select local
restaurants. He believes in staying local, and he doesnt have far to go
when sourcing his grapes. Within the five acres in Glen Ellen, he gets
40% of what he needs for most of his wines. He sources from other
Sonoma County vineyards for other varietals, such as Chardonnay and
Pinot Noir.
Visitors who want a truly in-depth experience can book a reserve
tasting, which Loxton conducts daily at 1 p.m. in an adjacent room
also filled with wine barrels. This room also houses a giant oak barrel
from Vicard, the first of its kind in the United States, Loxton says,
where he is creating a Grenache blend.
Saturdays and Sundays Loxton, in keeping with his Australian
roots, conducts a walkabout for visitors, in which he leads a tour of
the vineyard, through 120-year-old vines and younger vines. These
must also be reserved ahead of time.
And, if that isnt enough of a personal touch, Loxton will sign
bottles purchased in the tasting room, adding little notes and his
signature.
Groups will always be kept separate from small parties in the tasting
room, and on a nice day, visitors can taste al fresco at a picnic table
among the vines.
For more information, to book a walkabout or reserve tasting, visit
www.loxtonwines.com.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | SONOMA VALLEY

Intimate Experience for Cab Lovers at Laurel Glen


BY SHOSHANA HEBSHI

Tucked away on a side street in the heart of Glen Ellen, Laurel


Glen Vineyards tasting room invites visitors into its modern and
intimate space with a smile and little pretense.
The kid- and pet-friendly tasting room flows from the front
entrance to the rear patio, where on a warm, sunny day employees
will open a rolling garage door and visitors can enjoy a tasting on the
back patio.
Known for its distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon grown organically
on 16 sloping acres on Sonoma Mountain, the winery offers a
number of tastings to visitors on an appointment or walk-in basis.
Sitting at one of the many tasting areas, visitors will first be guided
through the vineyards history, its farming and harvesting methods
and then given a thorough journey of wine tasting.
The Current Release tasting provides an overview of whats on
the shelves at the moment $20 and free for wine club members.
The Library Wines and Chocolate Tasting is $30 and includes a
pairing of Cabs from different years paired with chocolate made with
various complementary ingredients, such as roasted almond, cocoa
nibs, pomegranate and rosemary.
Though the winery focuses on Cabernet Sauvignon, it makes one
Ros, the Crazy Old Vine, which kicks off the tasting. Half of the
Ros comes from grapes produced by a single row of original vines
planted at the vineyard in the 1880s. The other half is from

www.WineCountryThisWeek.com

Cabernet Sauvignon vines.


The following flight of Cabernet Sauvignons invites the visitor to
taste and feel the difference between the vintage years.
All of Laurel Glens wines spend two years in French oak and two
years in bottles before being released. Library wines go back all the
way to 1981, when the winery opened. As the wine ages, visitors will
notice powerful distinctions in flavor profiles and complexity.
While there seems to be truly no off-season at Laurel Glen, the
staff works to ensure visitors have an intimate experience no matter
the size of the group.
The winery regularly hosts special events, such as themed
tastings and art receptions plus special parties for its wine club
members. For more information or to book a reservation, visit
www.laurelglen.com/visit-us.html or call (707) 933-9877.

Coro Mendocino Celebrates 2012 Vintage


with Release Party in San Francisco, June 19
The Iconic and Collaborative Label Debuts its 2012 Collection of Wines
with a Multi-Course Winemaker Dinner at Dogpatch WineWorks in SF
Coro Mendocino, a collection of ultra-premium wines produced
to showcase the rich heritage and unique characteristics of
Mendocino County, will debut its 2012 vintage at their 12th Annual
Release Party on Friday, June 19, 2015. This year, Coro Mendocino is
excited to announce that it has moved the annual events host
location from Mendocino County to San Francisco, with Dogpatch
WineWorks in the DogPatch District of San Francisco hosting the
event.
We are beyond excited to grow this annual event by hosting our
first-ever Release Party in San Francisco, states Hoss Milone,
Marketing Manager for Coro Mendocino and Winemaker at Brutocao
Cellars. While Mendocino has been a wonderful location for our
Release Dinner for the past 11 years, in 2015 we are looking forward
to sharing the Coro story with a larger audience, outside the borders
of our beloved Mendocino County.
The 2012 vintage marks the 12th release for Coro Mendocino,
and includes wines from eight diverse Mendocino County vintners.
The christened label and blend known as Coro named and
inspired from the Latin root for chorus is the first wine of its kind
to set blending and aging parameters for a wine distinctive to its
region in the United States.
Every Coro wine is a signature blend, individually handcrafted in
Mendocino County from 100 percent Mendocino County grapes, in
strict accordance with the production protocols and bylaws set forth
by Consortium Mendocino. Zinfandel, the countys heritage varietal,
must make up no more than 70 percent and no less than 40 percent
of the wine. Nine other types of grapes may be included, typically
Rhne or Italian varietals.*
All Coro Mendocino wines are aged a minimum of one year in the
barrel and one in the bottle before the world is permitted to taste
them. Even then, no one can sip until the winemakers in the
Consortium have blind-tasted every wine and determined that the
wine is worthy of the Coro label.
2015 marks the 12th vintage of the Coro Mendocino label,
established in 2000 by a collection of liked-minded Mendocino
County winemakers. The reviews for previous years have been
effusive, calling the wines smooth, lush, intense, sophisticated and
fun, and rich, long and stylish.
Of course, no two Coro wines are ever exactly alike. Oenophiles
will have the opportunity to be the first to taste the 2012 vintage at
the official Coro Release Party on June 19, at Dogpatch WineWorks in
San Francisco. Each vintner will pour selections of their white, red
and sparkling wines during the welcome reception (beginning at 6
p.m.) while guests nosh on bites and nibbles created by Park Avenue

New WineryGeek app now available for iPhone and Android!

Catering. Following the opening reception, guests will be seated and


enjoy a gourmet, four-course meal (also prepared by Park Avenue
Catering), with each course being paired with two of the 2012
vintage Coro wines. Each table will host a different winemaker or a
winery representative from a Coro winery to answer any questions
guests might have about Coro and the wines being poured. The
evening will conclude with a selection of beautifully handmade
desserts and treats, paired with ports and dessert wines from the
participating Coro wineries.
Wineries participating in Coro Mendocinos 2012 Annual Release
Party include: Barra of Mendocino, Brutocao Cellars, Clos du Bois,
Golden Vineyards, McFadden Vineyard, Parducci Wine Cellars, Rays
Station and Testa Vineyards. As a parting gift, each couple will receive
a complete collection of the eight 2012 Coro wines produced by
these labels to take home and enjoy (a value of $320).
Cost per couple to attend the Release Party is $700, and includes
the complete collection of 2012 Coro wines, as well as free valet
parking, an opening reception with a selection of wines and passed
appetizers, a four-course winemaker dinner and a dessert course
paired with dessert wines.
The Coro wines have evolved over the last 12 years as fullbodied, fruit-forward products that stand out as complex and
different from standard varietal bottlings, said Dennis Patton,
Winemaker for Golden Vineyards. In moving the dinner to San
Francisco, we hope to introduce Coro wines to individuals who are
not familiar with the brand, and have them fall in love with our story
and wines, just as our loyal and long-time fan base has.

Coro Mendocino
Established in 2000, Coro is the only American example of
winemakers coming together to set standards for a class of wines to
represent a particular wine region. That region is Mendocino County,
a diverse area that encompasses a variety of climates and soils, and
boasts a mixture of multi-generational winemakers with deep Italian
roots alongside newcomers with extensive and varied backgrounds.
Coro means chorus in Italian, and it represents the crafting of the
Mendocino terroir into wines that sing on the palate.
Every Coro wine is a signature blend, individually crafted in
Mendocino County from 100 percent Mendocino County grapes, in
strict accordance with the Coro Mendocino bylaws. Each Coro wine
must lead with between 40-70 percent Zinfandel and may be blended
with up to nine named varietals, honoring the Old Italian field
blends of Mendocino. Every bottle is held to strict protocols, and
must be aged at least one year in the barrel and one year in the bottle,
followed by blind-tasting by the winemakers before it can be deemed
a Coro wine.
