INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER by Len Napolitano

How important is the pairing of wine with food?


For those of us who put as much care in choosing a wine as they do food, it helps to know a little bit of the thought process that goes into pairing wine with food. The wine-and-food pairing dilemma comes about because wine should be treated just like a food. After all, it has flavors, weight, aftertaste, structure and nuance. Ignore this fact and you risk a disappointment with either the wine or the food. Thats why books are written and classes are given on the subject. Based on my experience using the simple and basic guidelines below, I may not achieve the absolute perfect pairing of wine with food, but I definitely optimize my wine and food experience. If the perfect pairing is a moment of pure harmony that is unmistakable and often unforgettable, the optimized pairing is one without any obvious clash of food and wine components. Fortunately, the vast majority of the pairings Ive had based on the rules below worked well enough to create a pleasing, if not perfect, combination. Pair the weight of the food with that of the wine. Lighter foods with delicate wines (usually white), and heavier foods with fullbody wines. Pair fruity wines with dishes topped with fruity sauces. Try to match the fruit flavors, if possible. Pleasing combinations can be achieved through the combination of complementary flavors in the wine and food or with contrasting flavors of the wine and food. The ultimate contrast pairing is a salty English Stilton cheese with a sweet dessert wine. When you wish to spotlight a very special wine, choose a dish that is almost neutral in flavor so that it doesnt compete with the wine Dishes with a strong amount of vinegar, i.e. salad dressings, almost always make a wine taste bad. The best bet is a wine with high acidity, such as a sparkling wine, Riesling or Beaujolais. Its perfectly acceptable to drink red wine with fish, keeping Rule Number 1 in mind. Salmon pairs wonderfully with Pinot Noir. Choosing a wine style that originates from the same country as the food style improves your odds of creating a good combination. Think Italian wine (or Italian varietals grown in California) with Italian food. When in doubt, always choose your personal wine preference, regardless of the food. Great wine and food pairing experiences are truly unforgettable. Youll know it when the moment a perfect pairing happens. A bite of food followed by a sip of wine seems to melt together on your palate, one insperable from the other.

vJB viNEYARdS & CELLARS


A little piece of Italy in Sonoma Valley
BY MIKE HYLAND

VJB VINEYARDS & CELLARS Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Espresso bar opens at 6 a.m. Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. weekends 60 Shaw Avenue in Kenwood, CA (707) 833-2300 | visit www.vjbcellars.com

An incredible and extraordinary wine tasting experience has recently opened in the Kenwood section of the Sonoma Valley. VJB Vineyards & Cellars have launched their beautiful new food and wine destination centered around a genuine Italian piazza, a perfect setting for a glass of wine and a little bit of people watching, just like back home in Italy! The Tuscan-influenced complex includes a daily tasting room, a full deli and marketplace, an outdoor kitchen complete with a pizza oven, a standalone barrel room building to be utilized exclusively for wine club members, VIPs and select special events, all surrounding the piazza which is now the heartbeat of the complex. And, set to open soon is the Kenwood Pasta Co., featuring a variety of homemade pastas. We knew we would attract the tourists, says Henry Belmonte, who founded VJB and relies heavily on help from parents Maria and Vittorio Belmonte, keeping it all in the family. We also have a strong following among the locals that live in the area, too. Our neighbors are very important to us and we want everyone to feel very welcome here. It is humbling to have the response that we received from the community. In March, the winery moved into the new location from a small storefront tasting room that they opened in 2003. The tasting room opened in June and the marketplace and deli started serving food in early July while the pizza oven was fired up in late July. With all of the landscaping completed by late summer, the complex is a true representation of a small Italian village. It was my fathers vision, says Henry Belmonte. It is not at all over the top, there is a lot of substance behind it. And while the surroundings are very unique for Sonoma County, and will garner most of the attention for some time, it is the wines that keep people

coming back for more. With 14 wines on the current menu, it is not hard to find a favorite. The Estate wines include a 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, a 2008 Aglianico (with only about 100 acres of this grape grown in California), a 2008 Syrah, a 2009 Sangiovese, and a 2009 Montepulciano. There is also a 2009 Primitivo, the 2008 Dante which is 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Sangiovese, the 2008 El Dorado Zinfandel, and the 2008 Rosso Family Blend that consists of 40% Zinfandel, 30% Syrah, 20% Petite Sirah and 5% each of Sangiovese and Barbera. Our family is dedicated to two passions of life, making extraordinary wines and unforgettable memories, says Henry. We like to say that our wines express that perfect marriage of old world Italian winemaking and the terroirfocused California approach. Our annual production of 5,000 cases are sold exclusively from the tasting room or though membership in our Club Enoteca. And, in addition to an incredible wine list, in the adjacent marketplace, family matriarch Maria Gabriella Belmonte sells her own brands of pasta and pesto sauces as well as a couple of cookbooks. When you walk into a small piazza in Italy, you go there to have an espresso or a glass of wine, says Henry. You sit, enjoy your beverage, and people watch. We want our guests to feel like theyve come into our home to engage and converse with us. It is all about the experience, and we want our guests to have the best possible experience in all of wine country.

LEDSON WINERY & VINEYARDS


The perfect choice any time of year
The Sonoma Valley is one of the best places in wine country to vacation during the beautiful fall season. Mornings and evenings can be cool, but days are still warm as the leaves begin to change colors. Steve Ledson, owner of Ledson Winery & Vineyards and the Ledson Hotel, invites you to visit both of his properties while you are here. The two venues are located miles apart with the opulent winery and tasting room building (all 16,000 square feet of it) situated just north of Kenwood and the six-room boutique hotel located on the historic Plaza in the heart of downtown Sonoma. While the winery has been in operation since the summer of 1999 with its seven tasting bars, numerous private tasting suites (upstairs and down), a gourmet marketplace featuring the best foods Sonoma Valley has to offer, picnic grounds, wedding facilities and of course some 80+ award-winning wines, there is a little something for everyone within this magnificent setting. Once the tasting room was up and running, the hotel was Steve Ledsons next project. Begun in 2000, the project was completed in 2003 and features six individually decorated guest rooms that are named after members of Steves family: William, Noble, Whitby, Winslow, Barker and Edna. Appointed with antique grandeur and paired with modern amenities, each room reflects a different personality, much like the ancestors the rooms are named for, with almost 400 square feet of luxury and comfort. All rooms at the Ledson Hotel feature king-size beds, whirlpool tubs with a separate standing shower, marble sink vanity, internet access, refrigerator, fireplace and balcony. The hotel, which was designed by Steve Ledson, was built to capture the beauty of a bygone era. Its a step back in time, says Ledson. The hotels restaurant and lounge, Centre du Vin, is the perfect place to wrap up a day of sightseeing whether you are a guest of the hotel or not. Open daily at 11 a.m., the ambiance is warm and intimate with walnut paneling, granite flooring and a huge fireplace

as well as a heated sidewalk patio. Its the perfect setting for taking in a beautiful Sonoma sunset with a great glass of wine or to warm up by the cozy fireplace. In addition to the Ledson Winery and the Ledson Hotel, Steve Ledson also owns Ledson Construction and Development, which built his two facilities as well as numerous private homes throughout the Sonoma Valley. Fans of HGTV will recall that the networks annual Dream Home giveaway several years ago was a home on a vineyard in Sonoma. That home was built by Ledson Construction and has the distinction of receiving the most entries of any Dream Home property in the history of the network. A lifelong resident of Sonoma County, Ledsons family has been farming and growing grapes in the county since the mid-1800s. We have been a part of the Sonoma wine industry almost since the beginning, says Ledson. My forefathers grew grapes and made wine right up until Prohibition. They continued to grow and sell grapes to other wineries for years afterward. With the success of Ledsons ventures including the winery, hotel and construction business came a responsibility to give a little something back to the community. In 2004 Steve established the Harmony Foundation for Children to break down the barriers between need and assistance by providing direct financial support to at-risk and in-need youth whose record of personal responsibility, dedication and achievement is imperiled by circumstances beyond their control. The Foundation is funded through Ledson Family direct donations, individual public donations and Ledson sponsored fundraising events. The Harmony Foundation provides a vehicle for donors to make tax advantaged charitable contributions, and acknowledges its benefactors who have helped to make Harmony Foundation a success, such as baseball great Orlando Cepeda, 49ers football great Dwight Clark, Academy Award winning actor Jeff Bridges and singer-songwriter Michael McDonald, each of whom helped to create a special namesake bottle of wine with all the proceeds benefiting the Foundation. Whether it is hospitality, agriculture, government service or community service, Steve Ledson and the Ledson family have been involved for many generations. I just want to help make Sonoma County not only a great place to visit, but a special place to live, and for me, that includes all of our citizens, says Steve Ledson.

ODETTE ESTATE WINERY Open daily from 10:30 a.m. until 4 pm,by appointment. 5998 Silverado Trail, Napa CA 94558 (707) 224-7533 | www.odetteestate.com Follow them on Facebook and Twitter The property is available for private events (though not for picnics). Inquire at the winery for information, options and availability.

Set in the heart of the Napa Valleys famous Stags Leap district, Odette Estate Winery has become a destination for lovers of exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay in just a few short months. With fruit sourced from some of the areas finest vineyards, it is then crafted into wine at the hands of talented winemaker Jeff Owens, formerly of PlumpJack and CADE wineries both part of the owners winery portfolio. The new owners of the Odette property are certainly well known in Northern California and in Wine Country. They are philanthropist, investor and composer Gordon Getty and Gavin Newsom, former mayor of San Francisco and now the states lieutenant governor. Even the name Odette has a certain cachet in the wine world, appearing at the infamous (or famous, if you come from this side of the Atlantic) Paris Wine Tasting of 1976, in which a red wine from Stags Leap District took top honors over the French vintners. Wines from Stags Leap District develop remarkable power and fine, classic structure, Jeff explains. Im looking forward to exploring every facet of our vineyards personality. He also adds that, Estate soils range from Perkins and Boomer gravelly loam to Bale clay loam and yield Cabernet Sauvignon of pure terroir expression. Odette Estate occupies 45 acres, with a total of 36 planted to vines. The soils naturally yield Cabernet Sauvignon that showcases the best characteristics of this iconic varietal. The entire estate is farmed organically, and the owners have plans to break ground on a new Leed Certified organic winery next year, which will be major and very forward-looking achievement. To sample Odettes Adaptation wines, as well as PlumpJack Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc and a Cabernet from CADE, youll need to put a visit to the tasting room on your

At the tasting venue the floor, both inside and out, is stone, the color scheme a subtle monochromatic, and the sleek modern bar is polished wood. Teardrop lights drop down from the high ceiling and throw a flattering glow. The whole effect combines both the casual with an infusion of earthy, country sophistication. The room is spacious; the staff friendly, enthusiastic and welcoming and there is a nice but not overwhelming selection of interesting merchandise, much of it perfect for gifts. Outside there are plenty of chairs, tables with crisp white market umbrellas, and another smaller, semi-private patio off to one side. And unlike at many wineries, you can buy a bottle of any of the bottles (chilled for the whites; cellar temperature for the reds) they offer and enjoy it at a table. Theyll even open it for you and provide high-quality glassware. Private tastings can also be arranged for up to six people in their private tasting room, or for as many as 15 outside on the patio. If discovering new faces in the ever-evolving wine country landscape is for you, then check your map, program your GPS and chart a course to this gem of a winery at the base of the Vaca Mountains in Stags Leap.

Mumm Napa Presents Quatre Femmes Photographes Exhibit


Show of Compelling images by Four Women photographers To Open Oct. 20
The compelling images by four women photographers who collaborate as artists will be on display at a new exhibit titled, Quatre Femmes Photographes, opening October 20 at the Fine Art Photography Gallery at Mumm Napa winery in Rutherford. The exhibit runs through March 3, 2013. These photographers present four exquisite visions of the world. All friends, all professionals, each unique and well-known, these four women photographers often shoot together, critique and inspire each other. The results are striking works by artists who each have a very different visual language. What they have in common is the power of the experience they offer the viewer. Thea Schracks photographs of wild places are pure sensation: rivers bordered by trees, moving water, lush shrubbery, reflections and shadows, all are enhanced with the magic of encaustic wax, adding a surface texture and mood that is at once calming and primal. Sharon Beals portraits of nests built by birds around the world remind us of what astounding works of art are to be found in nature. Brigitte Carnochan makes silver gelatin prints of

fruits and flowers that are carefully handpainted, lifting the images to new and even more mysterious and elegant levels. Susan Friedmans series of horse photographs are a testament to her philosophy that an artist must do everything possible to give voice to what moves her. An opening night sparkling wine reception will be held for the artists Saturday, October 20, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and is open to the public. There is no charge to view the Quatre Femmes Photographes exhibit. Mumm Napa is located at 8445 Silverado Trail, Rutherford, CA 94573. Please RSVP to (707) 967-7740. Mumm Napa is one of Californias top

sparkling wine producers and one of the most popular destinations for wine country visitors. For more than 20 years, Mumm Napa sparkling wines have set the standard for California mthode traditionelle sparkling wine, emphasizing the exceptional qualities of Napa Valley fruit along with the unique casual elegance of the Napa Valley lifestyle. The winery and visitor center are located in Rutherford along the Silverado Trail in the Napa Valley and are open daily for tours, tastings and private events. Visitor center and fine art photography gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Additional information is available at www.mummnapa.com.

Delias aim was to create a wine that enhances a meal, and showcases the charming elegance of Cabernet Franc together with the incredible structure of mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon. Described as Liquid Cashmere by many, the Viader Proprietary Red Blend displays silky tannins that Delia attributes to her mature first-growth vineyard estate, now managed by her son, Alan Viader. The sweeping panoramic views are some of the most magnificent on earth, befitting of the elegant, take-your-breath-away wine that a gracious winery host has just poured for you.

Visit Calistogas Natural Attraction The Petrified Forest


Step back in time, over three million years, and follow the trail of majestic petrified redwood giants arrayed before you in a fascinating grove in beautiful California wine country.
Over three million years ago a volcano in the direction of Mt. St. Helena erupted seven miles to the northeast. As Luthur Burbank said, A tremedous earthquake shook the countrythe earthquake was so violent that it hurled down the giant redwoodfire, ashes, molten lava came out and coursed down the valley in which now lies the Petrified Forest! This same pale yellow, sandy ash is the soil you walk on today when you visit the Petrified Forest. All of the petrified tree tops point in a southwest direction away from the volcano supporting the theory that the blast knocked the trees over. When Mt. St. Helens in Washington exploded in 1980, trees were blown down parallel to a lateral blast from the volcano and show tops pointing away from the source. These kinds of processes have been active in the past at the Petrified Forest and are a perfect example of the geological principle of uniformitarianism. The trees at Mt. St. Helens were not buried in ash, so they will not be petrified. Water laden with silicates in the ash seeped down into the gaps left behind by the decomposing tree fibers: replacing the wood cell by cell with crystalized silica until the entire tree became stone. Some of the silica has agatized into a colorful glass-like gemstone. An ocean covered this area at times during the last three million years. In the Museum there are fossilized fish and shells that were found with petrified worms, snails and clams. There are signs along the 20-minute self-guided tour to point out the sights and understand the processes that result in the preservation of these magnificent fossils.

Napa Valley concept, is joined again this year by fellow Napa Valley chefs such as Thomas Keller, Christopher Kostow, Cindy Pawlcyn, Jeffrey Jake and Masaharu Morimoto. Visiting graduates of The Culinary Institute of America include Scott Conant, returning for his second year, along with Geoffrey Zakarian, Johnny Iuzzini, Charlie Palmer, Larry Forgione and all three of his sons Marc, Sean and Bryan cooking a course together at the opening night tribute dinner to their father, a chef often referred to as the godfather of American cuisine. According to festival producer Herb Karlitz, one of the festival highlights is a twoday tasting of wines that have and continue to put Napa Valley on the map, reaching back to the post-Prohibition wines of the 40s through the present day. On day two, attendees experience special tributes to legendary winegrower Andy Beckstoffer and winemaker Heidi Barrett. Tickets are on sale and the festivals net

TASTiNg ROOm OF THE WEEK

REYNOLdS FAmiLY WiNERY


As you head north of Napa, on the Silverado Trail, leaving the urban town behind, you will shortly spot this small family owned and operated winery just before the Soda Canyon Store. It is here that the vision of the Reynolds family is not just to create a legacy for their kids but also make award-winning wines along the way. Steve Reynolds sold his dental practice in 1994 when he decided to put his 14-acre farm to use and build something he could truly enjoy be passionate about that he could also pass down to his three children. The Reynolds Family Winery became a popular destination for wine tours in 2000 when the tasting room was established. The Tuscan-style room is surrounded on all sides by acres of Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards. Additionally, the property features a large pond and dozens of wild birds that can often be spotted from the patio where guests can sit, relax and enjoy their tastings outside. Reynolds Family produces a diverse selection of prized varietals with little fanfare and at reasonable prices. The plan is to never produce more than 8,000 cases. Currently, Steve makes just 750 cases of his award-winning Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon and just 800 cases of his always-sold-out Stags Leap Merlot. Our main goal is to have people visit our winery, have fun and feel relaxed, says Steve, but also hope they learn something from us and feel we truly are different than the other 400 wineries around. After learning what goes into wine production at Reynolds Family Winery, more than a dozen wines are always available to sample, including four whimsical Naughty wines; the Family Estate Cabernet, a Los Carneros Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, a Russian River Pinot, the Persistence (a red blend), a Sauvignon Blanc; both a Stags Leap Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon as well as Steves Appellation project. This consists of a unique, never-beforeattempted blend of one ton of grapes from each of the Valleys fifteen sub-appellations. The latest production is Fifteen Appellations which will be released in a few months and available for tasting at the winery. Tours and tastings by their friendly and educated staff are offered daily by appointment including tastings of seasonal and library wines. Wines can also be purchased on the website at www.reynoldsfamilywinery.com. Reynolds Family Winery has established itself as having a reasonable wine club that everyone can afford plus members attend events that nobody forgets!

REYNOLDS FAMILY WINERY Open daily by appointment 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 3266 Silverado Trail Napa, CA 94558 (707) 258-2558 | www.reynoldsfamilywinery.com

Harvest Celebration at B Cellars, November 17


Join B Cellars for their annual harvest event where guests and wine-club members will get a chance to preview new release wines, limited releases from the library, and even taste the upcoming 2010 reserve wines directly from the barrel. With exclusive event-only specials, this is the perfect opportunity to stock your cellar and get a jump-start on the holiday season. B Cellars wines will be paired together with mouthwatering hors doeuvres from Smoke Open Fire Cooking. This it the one event of the year not to miss! $35 per person for the general public, $15 per person for wine club members. The wines B Cellars produces include a Cabernet Sauvignon made with fruit sourced from a trio of distinguished vineyards (for their wines they draw on a total of 16 premium vineyards). They also craft three blends: Blend 23 (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier), Blend 24 (Cab, Sangiovese and Petite Syrah) and Blend 25 (Cab and Syrah). The names may not evoke magic and romance; but the wines themselves do. They also make a refreshing Sauvignon Blanc and a vineyard designate Syrah There is also the seated Signature Private Tasting, which includes wines not often seen in the marketplace, paired with artisan cheese and charcuterie. The same is true of the Single Vineyard Private Tasting, where a wine educator will guide you through their single vineyard Cabernets and Syrahs. Or in Wine Tasting 101 you can learn to taste wine like the professionals do, in a casual atmosphere, and how to best pair food and wine. For other tasting options, including the Wine Blending Boot Camp, and a Sensory Wine Tasting with Chef Machamer, visit their website. In the end, whichever option you select, or if you simply stop by as you travel through the Napa Valley, you will find yourself in a world with fine wine, and a sensitivity to the part that good food and good living plays in it all. B Cellars tasting room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located at 400 Silverado Trail, Calistoga, CA 94515. Reservations are required for many of the special programs and can be made by calling the winery directly or online. Call (707) 709 8787 or go to www.bcellars.com.

Caldwells Kreuzer Canyon. All of their wines are made in relatively small lots, from 330 to 1750 cases, and are the result of the efforts of master winemaker Kirk Venge, named one of the top twenty young winemakers in the world. There are a large number of tasting options available. The Special Celebration Tasting is for groups of nine to 25 and includes a private tour of the grounds and cellar and ends in the Salon for a Flagship Tasting accompanied by B-Bites, as they call their mini seasonal pairing of food and wine.

SONOmA ENOTECA
Wine tasting made easy
BY MIKE HYLAND

SONOMA ENOTECA Open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday - Monday No new tastings after 5:30 p.m. Call for Tuesday hours changes seasonally 35 East Napa Street Sonoma, CA 95476 (707) 935-1200 | www.sonoma-enoteca.com

If you should ever find yourself in Sonoma Wine Country with very little time and you need to make the best of it, head to downtown Sonoma, park around the Plaza, and discover Sonoma Enoteca on the corner of First Street East and East Napa Street. Its pretty much a wine country tour in one shop. Sonoma Enoteca is home to nine small California wineries who have collectively joined together to sell their limited-production wines. The wines come from Sonoma, Mendocino and Napa counties, with varietals that include Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Sangiovese, Zinfandel, Petite Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Viognier, ros, Pinot Noir, Gewrztraminer, Primitivo, plus a few blends, a sparkling wine and a port. Truly, a little bit of something for everyone, coupled with the fact that you cannot find these great wines anywhere else! We make it very convenient to taste a multitude of wines from throughout Sonoma Wine Country in just one spot, says Fred Favero, owner and founder of Favero Vineyards and a mainstay in the tasting room. With the numerous tasting rooms that have sprung up around the Plaza, downtown Sonoma has become an attraction that also includes the Sonoma Wine Walk. The Dreyer family is represented in Sonoma Enoteca with the Dreyer Family Wines label and the Compass label. The Dreyer family has been involved in California agriculture for more than 50 years, growing grapes, olives, tree fruit, cotton and tomatoes. The Dreyers jumped into the premium wine-grape business when they purchased Gran Cru Vineyards in Glen Ellen. The family sold Gran Cru to another winery and continues to produce high-quality and high-value wines for their two labels. Additionally, they produce the wines for Seabiscuit Ranch, the retirement home of the most famous racehorse in history. The ranch, located in the Redwood Valley area of Mendocino County, produces Chardonnay

and Merlot grapes. Fred Favero of Favero Vineyards made his dream a reality in 1992 when he planted his first acres of grapes in Sonoma Valley. His goal was to make the perfect proprietary blend, which he calls Monte di Sassi, which is a Super Tuscan; he also makes a stunning Sangiovese and a rich, estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon, all of which are available for tasting. The Grieve family strongly believes that the Lovall Valley is the best place to grow and create the finest Sauvignon Blanc. Their vineyard sits in the center of the Valley on pebbly clay loam soil near the creek that provides moisture, extending the growing season. Two separate clones in two distinct blocks yields the diversity for more complex flavors. In addition to their Sauvignon Blanc, Grieve Family Winery also produces a 2009 Double Eagle Red Table Wine which is 58% Merlot and 42% Cabernet Franc. Il Cuore (pronounced eel-KWOH-reh) means The Heart in Italian. The name is a tribute to the many Italian immigrants who first planted the North Coast of California in the late 19th century. The wines are produced from choice grapes grown in Mendocino County. A hallmark of the Il Cuore style is the gentle use of oak to allow the natural fruit qualities of our grapes to become the focal point of the wines. Their selections include the Sparkling Wine, mentioned earlier, as well as Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon,

Barbera and Zinfandel. Jack and William Salerno first laid eyes on the Dry Creek Valley in 1990 and never got it out of their minds. Manzanita Creek Wines are produced and bottled by Salerno Healdsburg Estate Winery are boutique wines made by arguably two of the newest, most passionate and stubborn winemakers in Sonoma County. They offer a Petite Sirah and three distinct Zinfandels. Vic McWilliams has made award-winning wines in Sonoma County since 1978. His Victor Hill Wines continues in his tradition of making exceptional small lot, handcrafted wines. With a menu of seven different wines including Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, ros, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel and Belle de Blanc, a white Rhne-style wine, there is a taste for every palette. Another large menu of wines comes from Brutocao Cellars, a Mendocino winery, where the passion for their craft turns winemakers into artists. Fermenting in small lots intensifies the fruit flavors, and by leaving many of their red wines unfiltered ensures that they will retain all their full, rich character. Find out for yourself by sampling Pinot Noir, Primitivo, Cabernet, Zinfandel, but dont forget the Chardonnay or the Gerztraminer! When you dont have a lot of touring time, take the time to tour Sonoma Enoteca and discover the flavors of Sonoma, Mendocino and Napa all in one convenient location.

viANSA WiNERY
Something Magical
BY MIKE HYLAND

LLOYD DAVIS: I am totally committed to maintaining Viansas Italian heritage, offering a very wide selection of world-class wines, focusing on exceptional customer service and treating every guest as family.

VIANSA WINERY Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 25200 Arnold Drive, Sonoma CA 95476 1-800-995-4740 | www.viansa.com

If there is one thing that truly stands out about Viansa Winery and Marketplace it is that they really take care of their wine club members. With two outdoor seating areas reserved expressly for members with views that are truly outstanding coupled with world-class wines, it is easy to see why so many people join the club. There is something kind of magical about this property and the Sonoma Valley in general, says Lloyd Davis, president and co-owner of Viansa since 2008. When you come here it is more laid back, more friendly than other wine country destinations. In many cases, you will be able to talk with the owner or the winemaker and get an inside look at how the winemaking process really works. Lloyd Davis grew up in Manhattan, in a family that regularly enjoyed wine with meals. While in college his passion for wine grew. After graduating with a degree in finance, Lloyd joined the ranks of the New York financial world where he provided capital to companies to support growth and acquisitions. He eventually became a partner as well as chief credit officer at Laurus/Valens Master Fund, a $2 billion Hedge Fund. It was at this company that he made an investment in Viansa. When the opportunity arose to take control, Lloyd jumped at the chance. For me, running Viansa is a dream come true, says Lloyd. I work seven days a week and I enjoy every minute of it. From working behind the bar, pruning the vines or accompanying our Tuscan wine club members on a Mediterranean cruise to

Italy, it is exactly what I want to do at this time in my life. Situated on a hilltop at the entrance to the Sonoma Valley, Viansa is usually the first stop on many travelers tour of the wine county. With its distinctive Italian atmosphere and old world architecture, Viansa is a tribute to the early Italian immigrants who brought their winemaking traditions and in some cases, their grapes, to the Sonoma Valley many, many years ago. Surrounded by vineyards, flower gardens and olive groves, the main winery building appears to have been transported from the Italian countryside. Crafted from authentic materials and boasting details like hand-painted interior frescoes depicting peasant life in the Tuscan hills, Viansas villa can easily transport visitors away to romantic Italy, if only for an hour or two. And then there are the wines! Viansa pioneered the concept of Cal-Ital wines California made wines crafted from Italian varietals grown here in Sonoma. Using traditional Italian grapes such as Arneis, Pinot Grigio, Tocai Friulano, Vernaccia, Dolcetto, Primitivo, Sangiovese and Barbera, Viansas winemaking team creates the flavors of the old world right here in the new world. And in addition to all the great Italian varietals, they also have created a menu filled with many of the popular California wines such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Cabernet Franc. And lets not forget the Viansa Signature Series wines that represent the best of the best. These wines are single vineyard designate wines created by Lloyd Davis, with no more than 150 cases of each wine made within a vintage. They express the best that Viansa has to offer and as a result, have become highly collectible. Only Signature Club members are eligible for the wine club discount on these wines. While I am naturally very pleased with the reaction and response to our Signature Series, I am totally committed to maintaining Viansas Italian heritage, offering a very wide selection of world-class wines, focusing on exceptional customer service and treating every guest as family, says Lloyd.

Its the perfect place to sample and pick delicious edible mushrooms such as chanterelles, porcinis, morels and hedgehogs, and even the extremely rare candy cap mushroom, a culinary treat with an intense maple syrup flavor, which grows only along the northern coast of California. The highlight of mushroom season is Mendocino Countys annual ten-day Beer, Wine & Mushroom Festival, November 2-11, that features a myriad of events including mushroom dinners, wine- and beer-pairing workshops, mushroom exhibits, guided mushroom foraging walks and much, much more.

Visit three or more wineries or breweries on both Wine & Beer Trails and your entries are doubled. Entries must be received no later than Friday, November 30. Drawing takes place in December and winners will be notified by e-mail or phone. Climb aboard the Beer, Wine & Mushroom Train, indulge yourself with a gourmet mushroom feast, then cozy up by the fire at the end of your perfect day in one of Mendocino Countys unique inns and rest up so you can start the next day with a cooking class, join a foraging adventure, attend a performance, take an art walk, or simply relax and do nothing at all.

Music and wine lovers can have the both of best worlds by tasting musically inspired wines with live music by the singer/winemaker who goes by the name: The Singing Winemaker (aka Steve Powell). Steves signature wines are his red varietals but he offers every type of wine ranging from Dolcissimo, a musical term meaning very sweetly for a Cabernet Sauvignon blush; a white Scherzando, (musical term for playful) for his, light summer white wine; a tawny Port; a late harvest Zin dessert wine along with peach, raspberry and almond sparkling wines. We focus on red but provide wine for all palates, there is something in the tasting room for everyone, he said. We have great wines and the best wine tasting experience. The Singing Winemaker has not released a new red wine in a year, so this summer he is back in action, releasing six wines. Each will have a release party during the summer with wine and food pairings for guests and of course, music for every age and taste performed by The Singing Winemaker. Many of his wines have musical names including his Harmony blend made with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Old Vine Zinfandel. The Singing Winemakers popular Melody which is a blend of Malbec and Tempranillo is always a crowd pleaser along with another favorite, Amador County Barbera, which is a robust Italian varietal.
