Quality Wines All Under $25


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

BURRELL SCHOOL WINERY


It’s Cool to be Old School
by Laura Ness
When you live, work and play in an old schoolhouse, you tend to
take history somewhat for granted. For Anne and Dave Moulton,
owners and proprietors of Burrell School Winery, every step they take
follows in the footsteps of the children and their teachers who once
trod these old floorboards. Here, young children learned their ABCs,
found out how many apples were in a dozen, sang the national
anthem and heard the words of the Gettysburg address. Today, it
echoes with the sounds of young children once more as Dave and
Anne’s two eldest grandsons, Blakely and Briar, play among the old
desks in the history-steeped structure, which just celebrated its 120th
birthday. Anne and Dave became grandparents again last Halloween,
when their daughter Marianne and her husband Bill, gave birth to
twins – more boys! Now Grandpa Dave has the true beginnings of a
baseball franchise. And he cherishes the time he gets to spend doing
guy things with the grandsons as much as he enjoys the special time
he spends with his father, Orville, a former Navy machinist in WWII
and railroad fireman. Like his father, Dave fervently loves anything
mechanical and especially loves railroads. The recently widened
driveway outside the winery is lined with railroad ties from the
Midwest.
Strolling the grounds of the lovely mountaintop vineyards, you
keenly understand the magical attraction this special spot had for
Anne and Dave. When they moved in with two young daughters back
in 1973, the place was such a fright that Anne seriously questioned

Dave has also been
conducting some barrel trials
with the 2009 vintage of Pinot,
using four different toasting
levels in barrels from World
Cooperage. The original trials
were conducted at Seasmoke,
and Dave’s intention is to select
the two best barrel profiles for
2010 and beyond. He is also
trying out a new profile barrel,
#105, for the 2009 Zinfandel.
In the “green” department, the
winery installed a 15kw solar
system from REC Solar of San
Luis Obispo in March of this
year. The system is mounted on
a south facing building 300 feet
away from the schoolhouse and
winery. It will generate 100% of
their total energy needs,
providing excess energy in the
warm summer months, thus
creating credits for the shorter,
cooler months of the year.
If you’re the type your friends
refer to as “old school,” or you

ally means, Anne and Dave invite

is short of time, most local markets offer shrimp that is cleaned and

vinegar. The HKG Rosé of Pinot Noir, a new addition to the HKG port-
folio, owes its beautiful color to allowing the juice to remain in contact
with the skins for 36 hours. This length of time is just long enough to
capture the bright strawberry tint and characteristics of the wine, while
allowing it to retain its bright acidity and remain dry and refreshing.
The HKG wines are available only at the winery, through the website or
at the recently opened HKG tasting room in Glen Ellen. Priority for
purchasing HKG’s single vineyard and small production wines are offered
first to HKG Collection members. Application for HKG membership is

Raymond Vineyards Launches an


Invigorating Tasting Room Program
by Chandra Grant
Located on Zinfandel Lane in the heart of
Napa Valley, Raymond Vineyards has been a
hallmark of the region since the early 1970s,
offering visitors an opportunity to experience
the history of a family winery with a quest to
produce iconic wines.
Today, the winery is going through a
modern day renaissance, complete with a
remodeled tasting room and new wine tasting
programs with vineyard and cellar tours. It’s
an extraordinary time to visit; their vineyards
are coming to life in the beautiful summer
weather as harvest nears.
We recently visited the winery and were

Raymond Vineyards offers a number of

Stellar Cabernets, Raymond Favorites, and a
special Vertical tasting that will change
weekly. All are available with a cheese pairing
for an additional $10. Tours include walks
through the vineyards and barrel tastings.
The winery also offers a beautiful grove,
perfect for the whole family to enjoy the wines

Andretti Winery – Like a Tuscan Vacation


Have you wished about taking a romantic Tuscan vacation?
Strolling through the vineyards, gazing at the amazing rolling hills?
Relaxing on a sun-drenched patio, glass in hand, admiring the
beautiful architecture of the Tuscan villa nearby? You don’t have to
get on a plane and travel several hours to find such a place, because
the Tuscan-inspired Andretti Winery is right here in Napa Valley!
When you drive into the Andretti Winery, the vineyards,
planting of trees and flowers, and the carefully aged look of the Villa
itself, all lend a certain and well executed Old World feel to the
experience that a visit brings. The fountain in the courtyard that
you pass as you walk toward the tasting room, the artwork of the
wrought iron balconies and the thoughtful and skilled landscaping,
all create an environment far removed from the hectic pace that
many visitors inhabit.
Andretti Winery offers guests a peaceful alternative to the often
bustling Napa Valley. When guests come into the warm and inviting
tasting room, they are greeted and treated like family. The goal at

Andretti Winery also has a wine club that is second to none.
With over 2,000 members, most who have been with the club for
at least a year, you know they are doing something right! The
Andretti Wine Club ships either three or six bottles every quarter
and is automatically billed to their credit card. Club members can
even customize what they receive on their club shipments. Club
members receive special discounts and offers for members only as
well as personal concierge cellar services for when they visit the
Napa Valley.
If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a secluded Napa Valley estate
or an Italian villa surrounded by vineyards, you’ll be delighted to
know that Andretti Winery is available for private events – from
corporate dinners and meetings to family functions.
The Andretti Winery tasting room is open to the public every day
from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m, and is located at 4162 Big Ranch Road in
Napa.
For more information and updates on special events (or to
schedule one of your own), call the winery at 1-877-386-5070 or

Wine Pairings at Sonoma
Enoteca Saturday, August 7
What’s new in Sonoma? Our Sonoma Enoteca Wines and
Krave Beef Jerky Pairings. (You’ve got to taste it to believe it.)
You’ve had wine and cheese pairings, wine and chocolate pairings,
but you probably haven’t had wine paired with beef jerky. Until now.
Krave gourmet beef jerky, the brainchild of Jon Sebastiani, has
become an incredible success since its recent launch. It is now carried
in hundreds of retail stores and markets. Thousands of bags were sold
online with wine.woot.com. Sebastiani has reintroduced the jerky as
a healthy snack that is moist, lighter in texture and color than tradi-
tional jerky. It’s made from domestic cut meat, is easy to chew and the
flavors are amazing.
Jon’s friend and fellow-winemaker Fred Favero, owner and
founder of Favero Vineyards and Wine Cave, is the managing partner
of Sonoma Enoteca, a wine shop that features ten boutique wineries
on the beautiful, historic Sonoma Plaza. With almost twenty wines
open for tasting every day, Sonoma Enoteca has a wide range of offer-
ings. Wine to go with anything.
Even beef jerky.
Imagine the chili lime jerky paired with the refreshing, lemony
goodness of Solitude Chardonnay. Or the garlic chili pepper beef jerky
with the Favero Sangiovese and it’s white pepper wrapped in ripe
fruit. Or how about the lemon garlic turkey jerky with a Seabiscuit
Ranch Superfecta Meritage. Or a pineapple orange beef jerky with the
luscious grapefruit/pear/orange blossom flavors of the Grieve Sauvi-
gnon Blanc.
Before your friends start wondering how anyone could combine
wine and beef jerky, bring them to
Sonoma Enoteca on Saturday,
August 7. Sample five wines and
five jerkys for $5. You’ll taste wine
that has been specially chosen to
bring out the best in the jerky. And
the jerky will make the wine pop
in your mouth like never before.
Sonoma Enoteca is located at
35 East Napa Street at First Street
East. Open Wednesday through
Monday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.,

FLEMING JENKINS VINEYARD & WINERY


By Charles Neave
It all began one day in 1999 when Peggy Fleming and her
husband, Greg Jenkins, planted a one-acre vineyard of Chardonnay
grapes at their home on a ridge in the Santa Cruz Mountains above
Los Gatos, not from far the farm where Peggy grew up.
The coastal Santa Cruz Mountains have long been known for its
famed winemaking potential. So after harvesting the fruit from their
own vineyard and tasting the winemaking results, it was not a
complete surprise when they discovered their dreams had come true.
They loved the wine. This inspired them to launch their own winery
– Fleming Jenkins Vineyards & Winery – and today they continue to
tend and nurture their first vineyard while making Fleming Jenkins
wines at the historic Novitiate Winery in the Los Gatos foothills, one
of the oldest continuously-operating wineries
in the Golden State.
Visitors can enjoy these bottlings at their detection saved my life, and since then, Greg

About Santa Cruz Mountain Winegrowers Association
The Santa Cruz Mountains has been recognized as a premium
wine producing region since the late 1800s when local wine-
growers first began to win acclaim for their wines in national and
international competitions. Few of these original wineries
survived prohibition, but many new wineries have developed
since the 1940s. In 1981 the Santa Cruz Mountains Viticultural
Appellation became federally recognized, one of the first Amer-
ican viticultural areas to be defined by geophysical and climatic
factors. There are now more than seventy, small, family-owned
wineries in the region. The small size of these operations allows
the winemakers the opportunity to handcraft their wines and to
maximize the potential of the grapes. The same spirit of innova-
tion, independence and determination that distinguished the
great winemakers of the 19th century lives on today.
