What is vineyard yield?


A vineyard’s yield is the amount of grapes it produces at harvest, thousand to ten-thousand cases a year. Some extremely large

Quality Wines All Under $25


at Wine Garage, Calistoga
by Jeffry Ross
The Skinny – The Wine Garage is all about the juice. It’s also about having fun –
like a kid in a candy store. The Wine Garage is, literally, a former gas station.
Todd, the wine buyer, travels far and wide to find top-shelf, affordably priced
wines. Inside, you’ll find more than 200 different labels neatly arranged in cases
on the floor and an engaging staff who are friendly, attentive and most impor-
tantly, they know their wines.
Buzz – Despite its funky space, the Wine Garage is a wine lover’s best friend.
Reminiscent of visiting your favorite record store (yes, kids, once upon a time,
that’s where you had to buy your music), the fun is going through all the cases
and finding something you’ve never heard of. All the wines have been test
driven by the staff, so, whatever you select, you won’t be disappointed.
Value – Ultimately, the Wine Garage is about value. It’s no secret that in Napa
Valley, it’s difficult to score a highly rated red for less than $65, but the Wine
Garage manages to do it all the time. The staff takes great pride hunting down
unusual and lesser-known, limited-production wines and passing their haggling
finesse on to us.
Ten-second summary – Nothing in this hip hideaway is more than $25 (with a
few under $15)! The Wine Garage is stocked with premium, small-lot wines
that you won’t find at BevMo, Trader Joe’s or your local wine store (plus, they do
a better job storing their wines at the correct temperature).
Best bets – In addition to all the labels the Wine Garage represents, they also
produce their own lip-smacking blends. My in-house favorites are: 2009 Joy
Ride White, 2008 Russian River Syrah, 2007 Napa Valley Cabernet, 2008
Chihuahua Cabernet and 2006 Hillside Cabernet.
Under-the-radar – Go old-school with half-gallon jugs filled while you wait using
their specifically designed service station nozzles. Not only are the wines deli-
cious (and affordable), the jug is crazy fun conversation at the table. It’s also a
cool gift.
Secrets – For the next few weeks, receive an additional ten percent off the
already low prices when you purchase six bottles. Twenty percent on a case.
Better yet, the Wine Garage has the BEST wine club in the valley – and they
ship just about everywhere.
Insider – If you’re a serious wino, get on the inside track for ultra exclusive deals
by hooking up with the Wine Garage on Twitter and Facebook (wine club
members get first crack to cream-of-the-crop finds).

DeLoach Vineyards
A Place This Special is Meant to be Shared
When you step onto the DeLoach Vineyards property, greet the
bright rays of the Sonoma County sun, breathe in the lavender scented
breeze, and take stock of the enchanting landscape that surrounds
you, you are keenly aware that you are somewhere extraordinary.
While DeLoach Vineyards is imbued with similar beauty to other
estates in the Russian River Valley, a rare and scintillating life vibrates
throughout the property, energizing every moment. The joie de vivre
that DeLoach Vineyards emanates is not a happy accident – it comes
from an unwavering commitment to sustainability and the preserva-
tion of the land’s natural gifts.
Since DeLoach joined the Boisset family of wineries in 2003, the
property has been revitalized through eco-friendly practices. In 2004,
they tore up and replanted the estate vineyard with cover crops
designed to enrich and renew the soil. In 2006, new vines were
planted, and the estate received organic certification from the Cali-
fornia Certified Organic Farmers in 2008 and then Biodynamic certi-
fication from Demeter in 2009. The winery also cultivates a nearly
half-acre organic and Biodynamic garden that feeds winery guests,
friends and employees while sheep, chickens and a bee hive all
contribute to the site’s biodiversity. What the Boisset family knew
when they began this endeavor toward creating a healthier, more self-
sustaining vineyard was that their guests, friends and lovers of
DeLoach wines would not only feel the way in which DeLoach was
different from other wineries but also taste the difference in their
wines. through September they are offering (by appointment only) reserve
In addition to the picturesque landscape, DeLoach Vineyards has tastings on the patio by the pool. For $25 per person, guests can enjoy
other creature comforts to offer. The tasting room, designed by a guided tasting of DeLoach wines on the warm guest house patio,

Winery at the juncture of Dry Creek Road and Dutcher Creek Road,
Mathy will lead a casual ride through the valley’s verdant vineyards

October 28, 2011.
A lover of bicycles since childhood, Debra’s last gift from her late
father was a vintage high-wheel bicycle, showcased on all of Dutcher
Crossing Winery wine labels. “The icon represents Dutcher Crossing
Winery’s pursuit of small-lot winemaking, attesting to the guiding
power of my father’s imagination, and the timeless qualities of an Debra Mathy
artisan approach to life,” she explained. A replica of the high wheeler with Dutchess
graces the tasting room, and on occasion, is actually ridden by Debra
to the enjoyment of her guests. at debra@dutchercrossingwinery.com or phone at (707) 431-2700.

wine: Chasselas Doré. Chasselas is the most widely planted white
grape in Switzerland, but remains virtually unknown in the United
States. Berthoud discovered a small block of Chasselas, planted in
1904, growing on the Pagani Ranch. Mindful of his Swiss heritage, he
contracted to purchase the entire block which yielded a paltry two
tons of grapes. Chasselas Doré is made to emulate the best wines of
Switzerland. The wine is clean, crisp, low in alcohol with an ever-so-
slight hint of effervescence. It carries the flavor of ripe nectarine and
peach with a crispness that must be experienced to appreciate.
Berthoud Winery Chasselas Doré sells for $25 per bottle and less than
120 cases are produced annually.
The Berthoud family saga continues into the third generation.
Mike’s wife Shawn runs the office and helps with punch downs during
harvest. Son Alec helps in the vineyard and with bottling. His
daughter Kayla is finishing her third year at UC Davis in Viticulture
and Enology. She’ll spend this summer interning at Gloria Ferrer
Winery and plans on a future career in winemaking. Mike says he tried
to talk her out of winemaking as a career. Kayla responded, “I like the
way you live, Dad.”
Mike Berthoud is a highly respected winemaker with 28 years of
professional winemaking experience at some of Sonoma’s most
renowned wineries. Berthoud Winery is his singular, artisanal personal
project. Berthoud wines are available for sale at the Mayo Family
Winery tasting room in Glen Ellen located at the corner of Highway
12 and Arnold Drive. You may also arrange to purchase the wines
direct from the winery by visit www.berthoudwinery.com.

Vine Hill’s Santa Cruz Mountains Pinots Capture Top Honors


by Fred Gillaspy
Five Vine Hill Winery Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noirs have
captured high ratings in the February 2011 issue of Wine Enthu-
siast and the April 2011 issue of Wine & Spirits magazines, as well
as receiving platinum, gold and silver medals at noted national
wine competitions.
Vine Hill’s Cumbre ’07 Hicks Family Vineyard and ’07 Raffaelli
Vineyards Pinots caught the attention of Wine Enthusiast,
receiving impressive ratings of 92 points each, with the Raffaelli
also receiving a 92-point rating in Wine & Spirits. Wine Enthu-
siast called the Hicks “ . . . The winery’s best Pinot Noir,” while underway, 2011 looks like it will be another very promising mile-
Wine & Spirits ranked the Raffaelli as one of the “Year’s Best Pinot stone year for Vine Hill Winery and its talented and award-
Noirs.” The Hicks also received gold medals at the 2011 Wine- winning winemaker. For more information visit: vinehill-
maker Challenge and Critics Challenge International Wine winery.com or call: (831) 427-0436.
Competitions.
Pinot Noir is Vine Hill’s flagship wine grape varietal, and with
recent organic certification from the California Certified Organic
Farmers, (CCOF), and the recent replanting of all of the winery’s
vineyard acreage to mostly Pinot Noir, it stands to reason that the
growing Vine Hill brand of Pinot Noir is showing some brilliant
“colors” of its own as it moves steadily forward. With top gold
medal honors at this year’s Winemaker Challenge International
Wine Competition, as well as at the Affairs of the Vine Pinot Noir
Shootout, Vine Hill’s ’08 Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot seized 87
points from Wine Enthusiast, flourishing in the newfound recog-
nition of its consistency and quality, along with the ’08 Sea
Change receiving an 89-point rating from Wine & Spirits. Wine &
Spirits named the Sea Change one of the “Year’s Best Pinots,” with
a “Best Buy” and 91 points.
Gold medals are highly respected and sought-after by many
winemakers. But, it’s an exceptionally momentous occasion for a
distinguished few when a wine receives a rarely bestowed plat-
inum award. This year, Vine Hill’s Gatos Locos ’07 Santa Cruz
Mountains Pinot was one of only 40 of the 705 wines entered in
the Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition that
made it to the finals and was awarded platinum status. The Gatos
Locos ’07 Pinot, Scintilla Vineyard, Los Carneros also received a
platinum in the renowned competition.
And the one key attribute that all of Vine Hill Winery’s wines
have in common? It’s Sal Godinez, who personally and painstak-
ingly crafted each-and-every one of them. With only a few months
