INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER by Len Napolitano
What information on a wine label is most important?

When shopping for wine, beyond looking for the name of a reliable producer, it helps to gather other information from the label to better understand what you are buying. Some basic items to examine: the appellation (a geographic name); a vineyard designation; the term Estate-Bottled and the term Reserve. A wines vintage should not play a large role in your decision unless you know of a specific year that you want. The appellation designation, also known as the American Viticultural Area designation, or AVA, will identify where the grapes were grown. The broadest and most general designation is a state name, like California or Oregon. A broad geographic area designation usually indicates a wine without the unique characteristics that a more narrow geographic designation, such as Edna Valley, Napa Valley or Santa Ynez Valley, would possess. The reason is because broad AVA designations allows the winemaker to blend grapes from anywhere in the entire region. When I compare labels of similar-type wines that I have never tasted and am unfamiliar with, I almost always select the one with the smaller AVA in order to get an impression of the more specific geography. A wine label that includes the name of a vineyard, in addition to the AVA, is getting even more specific with geography. A single vineyard may have its own unique soil or climate and produce a wine that is different enough to demand a separate and distinct identification on the label. Of less importance, the term Estate-Bottled means the grapes were grown on either the producer's estate property or in vineyards that are within his appellation and with whom he has long-term contracts. In other words, production remained under the control of one company from start to finish. Finally, the term Reserve will sometimes be used to identify a wine that the producer believes to be among its best. Reserve could mean that the grapes were hand harvested, or selected from hillside vines only, or the wine was given more time in barrel for aging. For these reasons, Reserve wines will usually be priced higher than the producers non-reserve wines. And, dont forget to check the alcohol content. The trend is to make full-bodied, bolder wine these days and a higher alcohol level usually goes along with that. Twenty years ago, the average alcohol content in wine was around 12%. Today, it is probably more like 13% to 14%.

CHALK HILL VINEYARDS & WINERY

Perhaps no other winery captures the casual luxury of Sonoma County better than Chalk Hill Estate. Founded nearly four decades ago, this spectacular property features 1,300 acres of wilderness areas interspersed with 300 acres of vineyards, a winery, a hospitality center, culinary gardens, residences, stables, an equestrian pavilion, sports fields, fishing and swimming ponds, and guest houses. The highest points of the estate offers visitors stunning views of the Russian River Valley to the west and the Mayacamas Mountains to the east. This is one of the most awe-inspiring vistas in wine country. From a winemakers perspective, the Chalk Hill Estate is considered a warm pocket in a cool maritime region. The property features 13 soil types ranging from ancient alluvial deposits to young volcanic soils strewn with rocks and boulders. A distinctive layer of volcanic ash lies under much of the topsoil, inspiring the name Chalk Hill. The complex soils and climate allow Chalk Hill Estate to produce great wines from a wide range of grape varieties. The winerys vineyards are woven through the native foliage, contoured to fit the intricate terrain. The vines are farmed using low-input, sustainable viticultural practices to preserve the long-term viability of the ecosystem. More than two-thirds of the Chalk Hill Estate remains uncultivated. In addition to the great scenery, Chalk Hill offers a number of special tours and tastings including the Estate Culinary Tour. The Culinary Tour begins at the winery where guests gather and then enjoy a brief excursions through the vineyards. You will arrive at the new organic culinary garden for a tour led by estate gardener, Brad Agerter. In addition to learning about the advantages and benefits of organic farming, guests can visit the new raised garden beds recently cultivated below the Pavilion. The fruit and vegetables from these organically-farmed gardens are the inspiration for dishes prepared by Chalk Hills Executive Chef, Didier Ageorges. The tour finishes with a sit-down tasting in the Pavilion a conservatory overlooking the equestrian

JUDDS HILL WINERY & MICROCRUSH

It would be easy to zoom by the small sign and picturesque bridge that mark the entrance to one of Napas friendliest and most highly regarded boutique wineries. But, those in the know, slow down as they round the curve past the strawberry stand at the south end of the Silverado Trail, and hang a right over the tree-lined bridge crossing Milliken Creek to cruise up the gravelly road. Judds Hill Winery and MicroCrush should be on the top of your list of places to taste if you are looking for great wines and an informal familial setting. Owned and run by two generations of the Finkelstein family, Judds Hill remains one of the few places in Napa where you are likely to have personal interaction with the owners when you visit for a tasting. The Finkelstein family of Judds Hill has been making wine in the Napa Valley since the 1970s, when they founded their first winery, Whitehall Lane. After the sale of Whitehall Lane, Judds Hill Winery was founded in 1989 with the vision of making small-lot handcrafted wines that are balanced and food-friendly. Having a good time making great wine with family was and continues to be the winerys motto. A wide variety of wines are poured in their tasting room, which is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Currently, they are featuring their Sauvignon Blanc, Ros, Estate Pinot Noir, Old Vine Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon. From time to time, bonus bottles from the library or pre-release wines will be added into the flight to give their guests a special treat. Visitors with a desire to take their wine country experience to a more interactive and hands-on level should make an appointment to take part in their Bottle Blending Day Camp. BBDC participants work with a Judds Hill Blending Guide to craft their perfect Bordeaux-style wine from four different barrel samples of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Once your favorite cuve has been decided upon, youll be led into the cellar where youll assist in hand-bottling, labeling and the application of foil capsules to the bottlenecks. You then get to take your personallycrafted wine with you the same day. The whole process takes about two hours and its a fun and edifying experience for singles, couples and groups of all sizes. If a few bottles of your own wine isnt enough to quench your thirst, Judds Hill also has a MicroCrush service in which clients can make a barrel or more of their own wine. You can craft your own blend of a selection of barrels in the Judds Hill cellar or make wine with grapes from Judds Hill grower-partners or from your own vineyard. From a quick tasting to a multi-year wine making project, Judds Hill is the perfect option for anyone with the desire to have a good time making (or tasting) great wine with family!

B.R. Cohn Wine and Cheese Trail Pairing

BY MIKE HYLAND
When you think about wine, you naturally think about cheese. Its like peanut butter and jelly or maybe even Laurel and Hardy, you dont usually think about one without the other. When something goes together perfectly, its hard to tear them apart. The folks at B.R. Cohn have created the ultimate Wine & Cheese Trail Pairing that takes place at the winery every Friday through Monday at 1 p.m., and not just for the summer months, but all year long. We select the finest cheeses from Sonoma, Marin and Napa counties, said wine educator Chris Schuur who directs the program for the winery and is easily considered the main cheese head. We use nothing but local cheeses and seek out the smallproduction artisans creating the most flavorful products to pair with our wines. Our Cheese Trail program gives our guests a sense of the agricultural aspects of our area. The wine and cheese tasting takes place in the original milking barn on the B.R. Cohn property, where owner Bruce Cohn grew up. The cheese selections as well as the wine selections change often with each pairing consisting of four wines and four cheeses. The Cheese Trail tasting fee is $20 for wine club members and $25 for the general public. You can call 1-800-330-4064 extension 124 to make a reservation during your next visit to wine country. We have traveled the countryside seeking out excellent cheeses that will pair well with our wines, said Schuur, Some of our vendors include Vella Cheese from downtown Sonoma and Point Reyes from Marin County. The program is a natural extension of our gourmet shop that includes a variety of olive oils, vinegars, mustards and the like. There are some 12 different varieties of award-winning olive oils, 12 different vinegars, plus herb, seafood and steak rubs, three different mustards as well as three olive tapenades. Additionally, the gourmet shop also features dessert sauces including a Chardonnay caramel sauce and a chocolate Cabernet wine sauce as well as chocolate raspberry Cabernet fudge. There is a little something for everyone in the gourmet shop. And, lets not forget the wines. The list of award-winning vintages includes three Estate wines, 2009 Zinfandel Olive Hill Estate, 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Olive Hill Estate and 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Edition. Also on the tasting list are the 2009 Pinot Noir Russian River, 2009 Zinfandel Sonoma Valley, 2009 Primitivo Sonoma Valley, 2009 Barbera Mendocino County, SyrCab Sonoma Valley blend, 2009 Cabernet Franc Sonoma Valley, SyrZin Sonoma Valley blend, Merlot Sonoma Valley, 2009 Malbec Sonoma Valley, 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, 2008 North Coast Petite Sirah and 2008 Sonoma Valley Syrah. The white wine tastings include the 2011 San Luis Obispo County Ros, 2011 Sonoma Valley Pinot Gris and the 2010 Carneros Chardonnay. Additionally there are two dessert wines, the 2008 Cabernet Port Olive Hill Estate and the 2008 Late Harvest Semillon, plus a host of library selections, large format bottles and numerous verticals from which to choose. We are in the epicenter of a cheese renaissance, Schuur continues, yet why spend all day driving from dairy to dairy on the Cheese Trail? Come to B.R. Cohn winery and relax while we showcase revolving selections of the most exquisite cheeses from the Sonoma-Marin Cheese Trail, seasonally appropriate, paired with elegant and awardwinning wines in our Glen Ellen Hamlet. When you are traveling in the Sonoma Valley and you are looking for ultra premium wines, extra virgin olive oils, handcrafted vinegars and gourmet food products, pull in to B.R. Cohn and enjoy your visit on a historic property filled with grape vines and olive trees. And, if you happen to arrive over a weekend, check out the Wine & Cheese Trail Pairing. Taste some of the best wines and best cheeses in all of wine country.

SUMMER AT ST. FRANCIS

Wine, Food & Film Take Center Stage in Sonoma Valley
For nearly 35 years, St. Francis Winery in Sonoma Valley has produced fruit forward, full-bodied wines from superior mountain and valley vineyards in Sonoma Countys top appellations, earning scores of impressive accolades along the way. While wine has always been the star at St. Francis, food plays a magnificent supporting role. Executive Chef David Bush heads up the winerys onsite kitchen, crafting unforgettable culinary experiences designed to reflect the beauty, charm and agricultural heritage of Sonoma Valley. The winerys multicourse wine and food pairing is unsurpassed in wine country, offering what one popular food writer described as small plates that rival the kitchen of any Michelin-starred restaurant. Chef Bush, whose rsum includes Sonomas the girl & the fig restaurant, masterfully pairs his creative dishes with St. Francis award-winning wines. The menu changes seasonally but offers an array of gourmet delicacies. Mouthwatering selections include items like slow roasted spice-rubbed shoulder of local lamb tasted alongside the St. Francis 2007 Sonoma Valley Anthem Meritage blend. Chefs Banh Mi sandwich with grilled sirloin and housemade duck rillette bring out the luscious fruit and spice in the St. Francis 2009 Old Vines Zinfandel, a wine rated 91 points by Wine & Spirits. A recent dessert course paired the winerys 2009 Port, a Double Gold Medal winner at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, with decadent chocolate fondue.
ST. FRANCIS WINERY & VINEYARDS Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 100 Pythian Road at Highway 12, Santa Rosa 1-888-675-WINE | www.stfranciswinery.com

My philosophy about wine and food pairing is that there are no rules, Chef Bush says. I like to take risks. My ultimate goal is to surprise people and for them to leave with a different view of how wine and food work together. St. Francis dining room, with its tiled fireplace and spectacular vineyard views, is the ideal setting for Chef Bushs break-the-rules pairings. Guests sit together at a custom-designed round table, guided through each course by an expert host who highlights key components and shares some of the winerys history. The experience is relaxed, friendly and educational, showcasing the best Sonoma County has to offer.

Robert Mondavi Winery Summer Concert Series

Napa Valley Winery hosts five artists in festivals 43rd year
In the spirit of Robert Mondavis belief that wine, food and the arts are an essential part of American life, the 2012 Robert Mondavi Winery Summer Concert Series began with O.A.R. taking the stage at the winery on June 30. Multi-platinum singer, songwriter and actor Josh Groban will perform the final concert on July 21st benefitting the The Napa Valley Schools Music and Art Programs and his own Find Your Light Foundation. Margrit Mondavi founded this annual concert series in 1969, quickly becoming an anticipated wine country tradition. Throughout the festivals 43-year history, more than $2 million in proceeds has been raised for the Napa Valley Symphony, Napa Valley Opera House and the Napa Valley Unified School District. Proceeds from ticket sales of this years series will directly benefit the Napa Valley Unified School District. Perhaps best known for their hit Superman, Five for Fighting will bring their smooth vocals to the winery on July 14 for the Hope in the Vineyard concert. City of Hope is a national cancer research and treatment center, providing patients with specialized care. The summer concert series concludes July 21 with the Spotlight on To Kalon performance by Josh Groban. Robert Mondavi Winery is the perfect place to experience the musical genius of Josh Groban. You can be a part of a world-class musical performance, watch the moon rise over the vineyard, and enjoy wonderful wines, says Carl Jaeger, Estate Director at Robert Mondavi Winery. Making music and making wine are both artistic expressions and this performance marks the beginning of a collaboration between Josh and the winery. With the goal of sharing our love for the arts with the local community, we couldnt imagine a better collection of artists to perform at this years festival, says Carl Jaeger, Estate Director at Robert Mondavi Winery. The diversity of acts coupled with the unique charities that will benefit from the concerts combines to bring evenings of world-class wine and entertainment, right here in our backyard. The Robert Mondavi Winery Festival started as a small venture in the arts, with tickets costing only $3 and drawing a modest crowd of 400 attendees. Since its inception, the festival has hosted more than 100 performers and now draws thousands every year. From the first performance by the Napa Valley Symphony, a guitar soloist, and the Xoregos Dance Company, the festival has grown to showcase world-renowned jazz, R&B and pop artists. All performances begin at 7 p.m. and are held at the Robert Mondavi Winery on Highway 29 in Oakville, Napa Valley. Ticket prices vary by performance.

STERLING VINEYARDS
Take a Sky Tram to Good Times!
BY JOSH STEIN
STERLING VINEYARDS Open Monday-Friday 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 1111 Dunaweal Lane, Calistoga, CA 94515 (707) 942-3344 | www.sterlingvineyards.com
Few wineries anywhere directly control more than 1,200 acres of estate vineyards, and fewer still can lay claim to acreage from across the complete range of Napa Valley sub-appellations: mountainsides, various spots on the Valley floor, Carneros and Calistoga. And only one can lay claim to a green sky tram which takes you 300 feet above the Valley, giving unique views and striking architecture with which to enjoy the wines: Sterling Vineyards. Theyre proof that great things in the wine business truly do get better as they age! A legacy of five decades of stewardship continues today as the winery was one of the first twelve to be certified as a Napa County Green Winery by the Napa Valley Vintners; Sterling has also received Napa Valley Green Land certification for its sustainable management, water conservation and fish-friendly farming across all of its estate vineyards. Even the tram is solar-powered! This commitment to doing things the right way naturally extends to the winemaking after the grapes are grown. Whites are harvested at night, going directly to press as whole

clusters to preserve quality. Reds are brought to the crush pad in small boxes and are hand-sorted before being destemmed and innoculated with native yeasts. Reserve wines are given even more special treatment in the micro-winery-withinthe-winery built in 2008. This 10,000-case facility across from the caves allows for wholeberry fermentations, barrel spinning for micro-fermentations and multiple small lots for best-of-the-best bottlings. That commitment to ensuring a legacy of quality is present in every release, and given the variety of vineyards and locations under its direct control a true rare luxury for the winemakers in todays modern global marketplace its not a surprise to find wines to appeal to all tastes and lifestyles. Indeed, there are the Napa Valley wines for which the winery is well known; the SingleVineyard releases, which highlight the unique combination of variety and place within various parts of the Valley; the Cellar Club wines, small bottlings of club-only exclusives; the Vintners Collection, which shows off other Sterling Vineyards in California; and the Reserve wines, individual, special and rarely bottled. All are available to taste at the winery, and many can only be found there altogether. Beyond the tram and the wines, there is plenty more to enjoy while on the property. The layout of the Greek island Mykonos-inspired white stucco walls allows for wandering amidst famous artworks and prints, architectural details
and, every once in a while, a random turn reveals breath-taking views of the Valleys narrowing northern quadrant, with the Mayacamas and Vacas in extreme proximity on both sides. Every quarter-hour, eight bells recovered from Londons bombed out Church of St.Dunstans-in-the-East accompany your movement around the winerys facilities. Self-paced by design by utilizing motion-activated flatscreens, the general admission tasting and tour covers the tram ride, the tour, tasting of five wines and a souvenir wine glass. For those wanting exclusive wines, there are also the Reserve, Sterling Silver VIP and Sterling Gold VIP options, which will taste you through reserve wines, single-vineyard, limitedrelease and premier bottlings available nowhere else. The goal is for visitors to be comfortable and able to enjoy everything the winery produces. Half a century ago, Sterling Vineyards was founded with the ideal of growing grapes in the best locations the Napa Valley had to offer and then producing the best possible wines to showcase those vineyards in an awe-inspiring setting. Lots of folks have come and gone in that time, and the winery is still here, doing what it does best: making wines that speak strongly of their sources. Come find out for yourself what more than a quarter million others annually do therere great wines still to be had after all these years up in Calistoga at Sterling Vineyards. Go and enjoy you wont be sorry!

JACK STORMS
Master of Cold Glass Sculpture Meet the Artist at RASgalleries
BY RONDA SCHAER
Welcome to
Top: Artist Jack Storms 'in studio' completing Bella Vino Middle: Bella Vino & Bella Duo Right: Cube
Meet Jack Storms at RASgalleries on July 13 & 14.
RASGALLERIES ART GLASS Open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, Tuesdays by appointment. 6540 Washington Street, Yountville, Napa Valley (next to Bouchon) (707) 944-9211 | www.rasgalleries.com.
As the owner of RASgalleries, Ive had the opportunity to meet hundreds of talented American glass artists over the past twenty-two years. Im fascinated by the work of Jack Storms, one of only three cold glass sculptors in the world. Its a pleasure to announce that RASgalleries will host Jack Storms: Master of Cold Glass Sculpture beginning July 13 and continuing through August 31. In this show, well present Bella Vino, exclusive winethemed sculptures as well as pieces from his Cube & Ariel Series. The show begins Friday, July 13, with an artist reception from 6 to 8 p.m., and theres a second chance to meet Jack Storms on Saturday, July 14 from 2 to 4 p.m. I recently had the chance to chat with him about his life and work and his plans for the RASgalleries show. RASgalleries: Your sculptures radiate and mesmerize. Our clients cant take their eyes off them! The spectrum of color makes everyone want to touch the surface of the crystal. Talk about the first time you touched glass. What drew you to this medium? Jack Storms: That was a seminal moment for me and it was just that quick. Sculpting glass is a slow, tedious process but that first day when I stood at the grinding wheel manipulating the glass and saw what I could do, I was immediately hooked by both the process and the form. That first day, with the simple and tedious task of grinding a piece of glass flat and then smooth and then to a polish, I knew what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. It was magic to me to transform a piece of glass that looked like a chunk of concrete into a treasure that shone like a diamond. RASgalleries: You opened your studio in 2004 and youre one of very few optic crystal sculptors in the world. Youve said that it can take ten weeks or more to complete a piece. I understand the process is demanding, requiring painstaking construction of a core of dichroic film on glass. Each piece is cut, polished and laminated, layer after layer to achieve the geometric rainbows. Your studio must be an interesting place, describe it and the preparations you must make prior to beginning a new piece, and explain the steps you take to ensure success. What can go wrong? Jack Storms: It can all go wrong. Thats one of the main reasons the process takes the time that it does. Theres a lot of room for error and its a constant struggle to maintain a polished surface thats vital for the interior construction of the work and the finish. The studio looks like a dungeon since most of the tooling is wet and I use diamond tools and grit (basically the texture of beach sand). Its a constant struggle to not cross contaminate. The process is slow enough without making a mistake like mixing up a polishing compound with grit. I bond the glass in a clean room that must be dust free. Again, I have to be constantly aware of contamination since no one wants my eyelashes in their artwork. RASgalleries: You draw inspiration from both your heart and science, using the theory of Fibonacci in each lead crystal sculpture. Fibonacci, as a great mathematician, articulated that math is natural in nature. Fibonacci numbers are
38
found in the patterns of growth in every living thing. Can you explain how this is interpreted in your work? Jack Storms: Utilizing the Fibonacci theory, my work has the ability to be visually spectacular at one angle and then show the simplicity of form, pattern and structure at another. The principle is also responsible for being a bridge from a very technical medium to a more natural reception, giving the sense that the work is created and not manufactured. RASgalleries: Talk about the beverage-themed sculptures that you will feature for Bella Vino, the RASGalleries show in July. What excites you about this new series? How are these forms different for you? Jack Storms: The wine-themed work is what I call my Bella work. These works are very dear to me because they come from a concept that I was told multiple times would never work. I was convinced I could shape glass on a lathe so I designed then created a lathe that would prove the doubters wrong. The first works from this lathe were wine-themed. It seemed very natural to me. There are so many exciting forms that I can explore with the lathe and the shapes and colors in the finished pieces that will be at the show bottles, wine glasses, Champagne flutes emphasize the energy between the love of wine and art. Each of the ten new pieces refracts light, reflects and casts colored shadow. RASgalleries: There are two new rainbows in your life: your wife, Vivian, and your son, Owen. Give our readers a slice of your life outside the studio. What do you love to do with your family? Jack Storms: Before I met my wife and created our family, I thought my true love was my work. I used to live to sculpt not sculpt to live. I was made to be a dad and husband and Im lucky enough to support them doing something I thoroughly enjoy. That realization has made me a better sculptor. I take my love for them and their love for me and channel it into the work. That energy makes the creative process flow from me without resistance. When the day is done, I race home to wrestle with my two-year-old and coach him on the ABCs, and be a husband to my wife. It recharges me for the next day of sculpting in the studio. RASgalleries: What would you like people to take away, emotionally, from this show? Jack Storms: I hope that they find my work brings a sense of fascination and wonder that is enduring for them through the years. Jack Storms is a driving force in the world of cold glass sculpture. Collected internationally, his work has also been commissioned for award ceremonies, as commemorative pieces, and even as a gift honoring the President of Nigeria. At RASgalleries, we are pleased to represent this accomplished artist year-round. We invite you to Jack Storms: Master of Cold Glass introducing Bella Vino, a highly anticipated show of sculpture by Jack Storms, opening on July 13 with new works continuing to arrive through August 31, 2012. Attend the artist reception July 13 from 6 to 8 p.m and July 14 from 2 to 4 p.m. at RASgalleries in Yountville.

Staff members will guide you throughout the entire process of a traditional mud bath that this Calistoga spa is known for. Golden Havens private treatment rooms for mud baths were chosen as the favorite mud bath experience of all the Napa Valley spas. What people really love about this place is that we are oriented towards couples and we are one of the only spas in town that does the traditional mud bath for couples, said General Manager, Barry Stern. Stern explains that a traditional mud bath is a thick combination of clay, peat moss and hot springs mineral water. What we have here is really thick mud, adds Stern. Some Calistoga spas just add water to clay, so its more like a liquid. At Golden Haven, you will enjoy the traditional mud bath that is world famous. Stern says that the peat moss gives thickness and buoyancy to the mud So you are floating, which makes it relaxing, it sooths your muscles and takes out toxins. Stern says its fun too, because you can take a mud bath together in a private room for two. The mud bath is flushed after every use with hot mineral water at temperatures between 102 and 104 degrees. Between treatments, you can soak in sun and enjoy the outdoor pool and Jacuzzi heated naturally with water from the Calistoga hot springs, which emerges from the ground at 140degrees. The minerals in the water are excellent for softening your skin. The pool is housed in

TASTING ROOM OF THE WEEK

Ken and Diane Wilson
WILSON WINERY
BY SUE STRAIGHT, THE WINE WENCH
WILSON WINERY
1960 Dry Creek Road, just north of the wine-infused Mecca of Healdsburg Open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (707) 433-4355 | www.wilsonwinery.com. Tell them the Wine Wench sent you!
Great wines, friendly staff, unpretentious atmosphere and stunning views of the Dry Creek Valley Wilson Winery is all this and much more. When Ken and Diane Wilson started restoring the old corrugated tin barn (once known as the Chris Fredson Winery) in 1993, they had no idea of the adventure they were embarking on. When they started the project, there were still old redwood tanks and vats in the cellar. Now, almost 20 years later, they have produced dozens of award-winning wines, garnered lots of critical acclaim and most importantly, made lots of friends and fans. Wilson Winery is the first winery in their growing family of Wilson Artisan Wineries, which includes Mazzocco, Soda Rock, Matrix, Jaxon Keys, deLorimier and most recently, Pezzi King. Owner/Winemaker Diane Wilson crafts big juicy, jammy, tail-waggin good Zinfandels (and Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Petite Sirah, too) that are way too easy to drink! If you are already a Zinfandel fan, you must go there and taste a few. If you are not a Zinfandel fan, you must go there and taste a few those wines just might make a believer out of you! Im not the only fan Wilson Winerys wines recently won 25 medals (including three double gold medals and six gold medals) at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition! The winery is surrounded by lush, green lawn, which is partially shaded by tall oak trees. There have been occasional sightings of pink plastic patio flamingos on the lawn (the Wilson family definitely has a sense of humor), but there is nothing kitschy about this place, folks! A handful of wrought iron picnic tables are artfully placed about the shaded patio, inviting visitors to stay a while and enjoy the gorgeous, sweeping views of the surrounding Dry Creek Valley. The tasting room is comfortable and well laid out, with the main bar spanning the back of the room and another bar off to the side for VIP tastings and large groups. Large windows let in lots of light and watercolors by a local artist dot the walls, creating a bright, airy atmosphere. The overall vibe in the tasting room is casual and welcoming. A tasteful selection of non-wine gift items is artfully laid out for the discerning shopper, including some dog-related gifts (Wilson Winery is dog friendly). A refrigerator is stocked with cheeses, cold cuts, bottled water and chilled wines, making it easy for visitors to create an impromptu picnic. Wilson Winery has the well-earned reputation for being a fun place to visit. The tasting room staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they genuinely enjoy chatting with visitors. They also feature live music performed by local bands on a regular basis (my band has played there several times and I can tell you firsthand that these events are really fun!). I tasted a few wines during my visit. The following were my favorites: 2009 Mollys Zinfandel ($34) This is Zinfandel with a capital Z! Mouthwatering aromas of blackberry, plum, black pepper and brambles lead into a juicy mouthful of consistent flavors, which linger through the finish. Yum! 2009 Wilson Family Red ($34) This is a big-bodied, delicious, red blend, loaded with aromas and flavors of plum, blueberry, blackberry and peppery spice. Wilson Winery is a must-stop on your next visit to Sonoma County!

WINEMAKER PROFILE: MEADOWCROFT WINES
TOM MEADOWCROFT
My passion for wines comes from my experiences growing up, working and traveling in Europe and the United States, says Tom Meadowcroft, winemaker and owner of Sonomas Meadowcroft Wines. I started my journey in winemaking by working the harvest of 1979 in Bordeaux, France. His passion for wine continued as he worked at wineries in both Washington and the Napa Valley. He took numerous extension courses from U.C. Davis and graduated from Napa College with an Associate of Science degree in Winery Technology and Viticulture. He became a vineyard manager focused on sustainable farming and environmental advocacy. Managing dozens of vineyards for many of the top wineries in Napa and Sonoma taught me the principles of winegrowing and gave me a vision for the kinds of wines that I make today, says Meadowcroft. Over the years he has gotten a well-earned reputation for the quality of the wine he creates and a passion for the environment, two things he considers inseparable today, and for an ongoing stewardship for the land that nurtures the grapes. The way I look at it, what I do is not just about the landscape and the wine; it is just as much about sustainability. He adds, The fruit that comes from our own vineyards as well as those from which we source, all use sustainable practices. The standard bearer of the Meadowcroft label is the Mt. Veeder Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon. An award-winning wine since its first vintage in 2005 which received 94 points in Wine Enthusiast, the current 2008 release stands shoulder to shoulder with its predecessors and just recently garnered a 91 rating from the magazine. The Meadowcroft label also produces Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Sangiovese, Viognier and Pinot Noir. In addition to the flagship Meadowcroft label, Tom has also created Thomas Henry Wines named for his father, Thomas Henry Meadowcroft, and crafted for daily enjoyment and for sharing with friends and family. My dad always looked for great wines at a good price, says Meadowcroft, We lived and traveled throughout Europe together by car, foot and on bicycle, sharing the lessons of life, family and friends and that philosophy remains with every bottle of Thomas Henry we produce. The Thomas Henry label features Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Merlot, Meritage, Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon. In addition to the Meadowcroft and Thomas Henry brands, Tom also makes the wines for the Foyt Family. With each varietal, a memory in motor sports from the Foyt familys rich history, which extends over some five decades, is shared. But the name Foyt is more than just a celebrity name on a bottle. Foyt Family Wines was created by Larry Foyt and A.J. Foyt IV, the son and grandson, respectively, of world renown racing legend A. J. Foyt. Their venture began with their passion for fine wine, and as a way of creating a tribute to A.J. as well. The Foyt Family label presently includes a Chardonnay, a Meritage and a Cabernet with additional vintages planned for the future. Our style of winemaking for all of our labels is all about balance, says Meadowcroft. Not too much oak, because I never want to mask the varietal characteristics that are so essential. To see for yourself, take a trip to the tasting room located at Cornerstone Sonoma, only five miles south of the town of Sonoma, 40 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge and just across the street from Gloria Ferrer.

The Tenth Annual Petite Sirah Symposium

Sponsored by Concannon Vineyard, Livermore, July 31, 8:30 a.m.
The best and brightest Petite Sirah talent in California is again gathering to discuss Petite Sirah grape growing, winemaking and marketing issues as they continue to share their enthusiasm for this stealth variety of consequence. Since PS I Love You began after the first Petite Sirah Symposium, interest for Petite Sirah has grown substantially. In the past ten years, the number of Petite Sirah producers and growers has grown from 62 in 2002 to more than 1,000 in 2012. Anyone who has attended the symposium understands the correlation between what was the case ten years ago, to what is the story today. Petite Sirah is truly an artisan winemakers pet project, with most of these wines being sold directly through tasting room sales and wine clubs. Most wine critics are not seeing these wines for critical review. However, the media tasting that follows the morning session of the symposium will provide a rare view of what many of these wineries are doing.
~ PETITE SIRAH SYMPOSIUM PROGRAM ~ WELCOME John Concannon (fourth generation vintner) & Jim Concannon (third generation vintner) John Concannon 100 Years of growing Petite Sirah as a variety and growing strong KEYNOTE SPEAKER Evan Goldstein, Author of daring pairings Master Sommelier Evan Goldstein will explain, Why I Believe in Petite Sirah VITICULTURE David Caffaro, David Caffaro Estate Vineyard, Crafting Petite from a Heritage Vineyard in Dry Creek Valley ENOLOGY David Mounts, Mounts Family Winery Third Generation Wine Grape Growing Family Successfully Takes on Wine Making Too ENOLOGY Nils Venge of Saddleback Cellars. Creating a Cult Petite that rocks MARKETING Joyce Goldstein ~ Consultant to Restaurants. Food & Wine Pairings for Petite Sirah LUNCH at CONCANNON VINEYARD BEST OF THE PETS TASTING The event promises to be one of exploration, education and continued enlightenment.
This year, Concannon is reflecting on having grown this heritage variety for 100 years
Jim Concannon had the foresight to varietally label Petite Sirah in 1964, with a 1961 vintage, marking last year as Petite Sirahs Golden Anniversary. Concannon is the best location for the Petite Sirah Symposium, states Jo Diaz, founding executive director of PS I Love You, Inc. Petite Sirah is Concannons flagship wine; couple that with the fact that Concannons commitment to sponsoring the Petite Sirah Symposium has kept it in the forefront of interest by U.S. wine reviewers for all of these years.
Nes: Big Change of venue for this year, only

Due to office renovations at Concannon Vineyard, the Symposium Sessions will be held at the Martinelli Event Center (Sessions, only) 3585 Greenville, Road, Livermore. The Annual Luncheon and Media Tasting will return to Concannon for the afternoon at 4596 Tesla Road, Livermore.

Lone Oak Lodge Clean, Affordable, Convenient

BY LAURA NESS
A cozy place to stay in Monterey is the Lone Oak Lodge, on North Fremont Street, just off Highway 1, past the Monterey Fairgrounds. This is your basic old-fashioned style motel that makes car camping easy. You pull up to your room, unload, boom, youre done. All onestory units, with pleasant bathrooms, clean, comfortable and equipped with wireless everywhere. Fresh flowers in each room are a nice touch, and each unit has a fridge and a coffee maker thank goodness! Creature comforts are important, and this quiet, easy-to-find and easy-to-love, family-friendly lodge has decent towels, great water pressure and plenty of space to stash all your stuff. The fireplaces in some rooms are quite cozy. Everything is clean and in working order. The best part about Lone Oak is location, location, location: youre only minutes away from all the sights and sounds of nearby Monterey Peninsula and Pebble Beach, but you dont hear any of it from the rooms, thanks to layout and setback off the highway. There are several restaurants in proximity, including a serviceable Chinese for takeout, and drug store, bottle shop and breakfast spot within walking distance if youve had enough time behind the wheel. You seriously cant beat Lone Oak for value, convenience, comfort and quiet. A good
nights sleep is what you need most after an exhausting day touring 17 Mile Drive, playing a round on a championship golf course, gazing at the wonders of the deep at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, playing tourist on Cannery Row and Fishermans Wharf and winetasting and people watching on the storied streets of Carmel. Featuring family suites, single rooms and king suites with in-room spas and fireplaces, an on-site indoor Jacuzzi, dry sauna, exercise equipment, Scuba Diver rise area, plus an outdoor barbecue area make the Lone Oak Lodge an ideal home base when youre in the Monterey area.
