INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER


BY LEN NAPOLITANO

What is terroir?
The French term, terroir (pronounced tear-wah), is the term for the conditions that make a specific grapegrowing site, and its wine, distinctive. It comes from a philosophy, originated in Europe, that a multitude of
influences in nature surrounding a vineyard, or wine region, create a wines character. These natural factors
include soil composition, day and nighttime temperatures, the amount of rainfall, the direction of the sun, just
to name a few.
Terroir explains why some of the best California Pinot Noir, for example, originate in the regions of
Carneros and Russian River. They may be separated by about 30 miles but they share similar soils and
experience the same cooling effects from bodies of water nearby either the ocean, in the case of the Russian
River area, or San Pablo Bay for the Carneros region. Both regions produce rich and complex wines made from
Pinot Noir grapes that reflect their similar terroir.
Over centuries of winemaking around the world, it has been learned that the uniqueness of a specific
location is what creates the personality of a wine. Although the French word terrior has no English
translation, it has become a term used everywhere to describe this interaction of the many factors that
influence a grape-growing site.
So, the next time you taste a great wine, whether Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon or
Zinfandel, take notice of where the grapes were grown. If a distinct site is listed on the label as the origin of the
grapes, such as the name of a specific vineyard or an official wine geographic region (also known as an
appellation) know that you are tasting more than just the grapes that made the wine. You are experiencing
terrior everything in nature that makes that site or region, unique.

Why Each Years Weather Affects Two Years Vine Health


Theres one thing you can count on as a farmer: one years
weather will never be like any other. What that means in practice is
that the past only serves as example, not as a roadmap. And
especially in a year like this one, where none of the established past
patterns seem to hold and our fourth year of drought is with us,
how we strategize about the weather and our water use makes the
difference between having grapes to make into wine and having to
take a pass after three bumper harvests in a row. What makes this
doubly fraught is that each years decisions in response to the
weather affect two years crops.
Why? Because vines arent like other annual or row crops. If you
look closely at a vine, you will see both this years and next years
buds, which is why weather damage can be such a problem: a
grower is forced to contemplate the loss of multiple years income.
Inside each bud are really small leaves, and from them come the
leaves, canes, shoots and grapes; each bud has concentric layers,
which is why weather damage is along a continuum. Lack of
irrigation water doesnt just impact yields during harvest it can
also impact this and next years vines through the inability to
provide enough water for frost protection. Minor damage, generally
from frost, may reduce the yield a bit, but its the more severe
darkening, akin to frostbite, which is the real issue, guaranteeing a
crop loss of at least fifty percent, if not more. Equally, the phloem,
the bark on the exterior of canes and vine trunks, can also be
damaged by cold, causing crop losses, too.
The best way to understand winegrowing options for weather
mitigation is to walk through the vineyard throughout the year.
Winter cold, even as cold as we got this past year in most of the
United States, is actually no issue because the vines are dormant,
which is why all fifty states have vineyards. Spring is when weather

has the most impact on two years crops because the weather often
flipflops quite quickly, and rain at an early point can be helpful to
bring temperatures up while later in the season causing crop
damage via hail or thunderstorms winds. Shattering of the bloming
flowers can disrupt clusters or keep them from being fertilized, yet
when faced with a frost event earlier in the year, rain is welcomed as
it brings the temperature up above freezing. Summer and autumn
heat can also be an issue because too-high a temperature can cause
vines to shut down, shriveling or even sunburning grapes, and also
potentially killing the vine in the process, especially if there is little
to no water left at the end of season.
This is not our first go-around with drought in California wine
country, of course. There are actually lots of options for mitigation,
and the best, as you might expect, are set up so as to help solve
more than one problem. Believe it or not, something as simple as
low trellising versus high has an impact as far as weather goes. Low
trellises in the wrong locales are more subject to frost damage, and
higher trellises can provide shade for adjacent rows. How the trellis
is trimmed in winter and early spring prior to budbreak is thus one
strategy, and there is projected to be a move back to California
Sprawl from the VSP candelabra currently seen all over as the
North Coast replants in the next few years for this reason: not only
does this provide different vine growth and Brix gains, but it also
helps as regards frost or hail damage during April and May, when
the buds break and the vines flower, and impacts overall vine water
needs, making it possible to produce more on less irrigation.
Mechanical options to work around water deficits abound, too.
The wind machines, those twirling engines and fans on poles; the
Inverted Sinks or Air Dams, which essentially turn the wind
machine to provide a frost sink to pull cold air down and away
from vines on hillsides and slopes; and smudge pots, the gas fired
heaters for the end of vineyard rows which work in combination
with wind machines all are ways to work in with the shapes of
the land itself to mitigate the negatives of weather while allowing
the terroir, the locational distinctiveness, to still show through in
the grapes and finished wines by moving the weather since the
vines really cannot. Its not always easy or cheap, but the results are
worth it, no? Enjoy!

Good to Know Before Heading to the Wineries


BY CHARLES NEAVE

For the most part, going wine tasting is about the easiest thing in
the world, especially here in California where wineries and tasting
rooms abound. You can find wineries specializing in red wines of all
types, those that are famous for their white wines and others who
pour sparkling wine. It is a matter of doing a little research and
planning your day. Most tasting rooms open around 10 a.m. and
close between 4:30 and 6 p.m. Here are some tips that have proven
to be helpful and are designed to help make the sensory adventure of
wine tasting all the more enjoyable.
Before you start off pack a few essentials: Water (plenty of water)
and something to snack on crackers or a baguette. Many wineries
have picnic areas and there are plenty of delis and bakeries that can
make up a lunch for you, or make your own. Which brings us to
eating and drinking, the kind that doesnt directly involve wine.
Be sure to nibble during the day and make sure you make time for
lunch. Two tips: drink at least twice as much water as you do wine,
and remember that you dont have to drink everything poured into
your glass. There is a reason tasting bars have dump buckets and a
pitcher of water to wash out your glass.
Dont be afraid to ask questions. Time and time again I have heard
knowledgeable winery workers say that there is no such thing as a
stupid question, and they mean that.
You can drink what you want, in the order you want. If you only like

reds, say so; if you dont like sweet wines, speak up. But the idea of
starting with whites, then going on to reds and then sweet wines is a
good guide. Zinfandel is red. I am sure you know that but it never
hurts to remind everyone.
If there is a particular wine you want to try and it is not on the list,
ask. There might be a bottle around that was opened for a trade
tasting or by the winemaker. Most tasting rooms are happy to pour a
little if you show enthusiasm.
Take notes on the wines you most enjoyed.
Take advantage of tours when the winery offers them, but keep in
mind that they take anywhere from 20 minutes to well over an hour,
so one a day is plenty.
Buy wines that you can only find at the winery. These often include
smaller (375 ml) bottles of limited production Ports or dessert wines.
Dont buy a wine you can get at a supermarket back home. Youll pay
more, and besides, whats the point?
Look for tasting rooms in towns. Many of these are cooperative
tasting rooms, where in one place you might find wines from a dozen
or more small-to-medium premium producers. They are scattered
throughout the area and more are opening all the time.
Dont give too much thought to ratings and vintages. Its like art: if
you like it, its a good wine. It is as simple as that.
Remember that you dont have to do the driving. It takes no more
than a phone call hire a transportation company to do the driving.

Bennett Lane Proposal Package

As the warmth of summer days roll into Napa Valley, a fool-proof way to make the most of
the season is a day spent at the Bennett Lane Winery in Calistoga. One of our favorite stops
every year, Bennett Lane is known for its succulent Cabernets, their signature feasting wine,
Maximus, and for one of the finest visitor experiences in the valley. Founded by Randy and Lisa
Lynch in 2003, Bennett Lanes off-the-beaten-track location and friendly tasting room offers
visitors to Napa a secret gem and a great way to learn about and try some of Napas best
wines in a more intimate setting.
Bennett Lanes Cabs have continuously garnered critical acclaim. In the short period that the
winery has been open they have received an incredible 36 scores of 90+ points between Wine
Spectator, Wine Enthusiast and Robert Parkers Wine Advocate. Year after year the popular blend
of Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah has won accolades from critics and visitors alike. The red
feasting wine, as Maximus is affectionately referred to on the label, demonstrates owners Randy
and Lisa Lynchs commitment to making wine an integral part of entertaining with family and
friends. The current vintage of 2009 is available in the tasting room at $35 per bottle this is the
best deal in the valley.
Bennett Lanes wines are crafted to be approachable, yet complex or what owner Randy
Lynch calls the best of both worlds, meaning you can drink them today, but they are structured
enough to cellar for several years. My goal is for us to make consistent wines both in quality
and taste from year to year, so that consumers can trust Bennett Lane wines, he says.
Bennett Lane has quickly become one of the top vintners in the valley and has upgraded their
tasting room to match the amazing accolades that the wines have received in their first few years.
It is fast becoming the must see destination for wine lovers visiting Napa Valleys AVA of
Calistoga. In addition to the elegantly appointed tasting bar, they are sharing their new custom
iPad application for their guests to use for an interactive tasting experience. Guests can not only

read the latest reviews and tasting notes but also find
interesting food pairing recipes, share their favorite new wines on
Facebook, and email their personal wine notes home, all while
tasting a glass of Napas finest. Owner Randy Lynch notes, As a
small winery we strive to not only make the best hand-crafted
wines available, but also one of the most educational and
enjoyable tasting experiences around for guests coming to visit
one of the premier wine growing regions in the world.
The Signature Tasting Flight at Bennett Lane is $20 and
includes four of Bennett Lanes wines: 2012 Reserve Chardonnay,
2009 Maximus Red Feasting Wine, 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon
and one special selection from their wine library. Cabernet
enthusiasts can upgrade to their Reserve Tasting Flight for $45,
and get a chance to try three of the wineries top tier Cabernets,
including the Lynch Family Vineyard Calistoga Cabernet with
less than 100 cases produced. Be sure to put Bennett Lane on
your short-list of must-visit tasting rooms as the production is
small and the Cabernets sell out quickly. Visiting Bennett Lane
affords tasters another rarity with a small winery a likely run-in
(and perhaps a last minute barrel tasting if youre lucky!) with
owners Randy and Lisa Lynch.
Bennett Lane Winery is located in an understated
Mediterranean-style building at the secluded and beautiful
northern end of the Napa Valley, and is considered well worth the
drive.

KENDALL-JACKSON
WINE ESTATE & GARDENS
Immerse yourself in the best farm-to-table
wine and food experiences in Sonoma County!
BY SUE STRAIGHT, THE WINE WENCH

Kendall-Jackson Wine Estate Gardens


Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
5007 Fulton Road, Santa Rosa
www.kj.com | (707) 571-8100

Picture this you are heading north on Highway 101 and just past Santa Rosa,
you see what appears to be a French chateau, complete with vineyards and gardens,
plunked down just off the freeway on your left at Fulton Road. Stop. You simply must
not miss this place!
The whole property is a feast for the senses; birds singing, bees buzzing and
snatches of laughter and conversation delight the ears, scents of flowers, herbs (and of
course wine and food) tempt the nose and the riot of color from the flower garden
and the overall aesthetic beauty of this place please the eye and soothe the soul.
You should allow yourself at least a couple of hours for the Kendall-Jackson
Sensory Experience give yourself about an hour for the food and wine pairing and
enough time to stroll through the gardens a three and a half acre wonderland of
botanical magic. There is the Wine Sensory Garden (my personal favorite), where
fruit trees and bushes and herbs and flowers that exemplify a particular wine varietal
are artfully laid out, complete with signs explaining descriptors and affinities. Along
with the Wine Sensory Garden, the Vegetable/Herb Garden is a growing cornucopia
of edible plants that the in-house chefs use in their wine and food pairings.
Speaking of wine and food pairing, the friendly and knowledgeable staff of
Kendall- Jackson Wine Estate & Gardens creates a variety of absolutely unforgettable
experiences, including the Garden Tour & Tasting, the Blind Tasting Experience,
the Farm to Table Lunch and more. I opted for the wine and food pairing and I can
tell you firsthand, this experience is well worth every penny! I was treated like royalty,
and Im sure other guests will feel the same!
If wine and food pairing isnt your idea of a good time or if time is an issue, you
may taste wines at the bar there is something for everyone here! Whichever
experience you choose (any or all!), the end result is a delicious, fun education at an

even a stunning California sunset to end

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK

TRENTADUE WINERY
An elegant and intimate experience
BY SHOSHANA HEBSHI

Theres a swath of land north of Healdsburg, outside of


Geyserville, that is at once expansive and inviting and harkens the
imagination back to a simpler time. Nestled among the sprawling
vineyards of Alexander Valley with views of the easterly Mayacamas
Mountains, Trentadue Winery welcomes visitors with a feeling of the
Old World, where stone masonry and lush courtyards are
commonplace. There are no nearby neighbors, just a vast openness
that allows one to envision this valley before the bustling modern
wine industry took hold. Thats when the late Evelyn and Leo
Trentadue purchased these 208 acres and began farming wine grapes.
But upon entering the tasting room, Trentadue becomes an
instantaneously intimate experience where the family-owned winery
welcomes you in and invites you to taste its award-winning wines.
Behind a small tasting bar, a knowledgeable employee will pour a
flight of Trentadues famous ports or estate varietals. But, as COO
Cooper Henderson notes, be sure to try the Rosato di Sangiovese a
ros made from Sangiovese grapes that is fruity and light and lends
itself well to food pairings. On a nice day, a glass of the Rosato would
feel very refreshing as you relax in one of the picturesque courtyards.
Visitors can choose from two tasting flights. The Trentadue tasting
offers a choice of any four wines, including the popular spicy and
bright Sangiovese and a single-lot red blend, which Henderson calls a
must taste.
A reserve tasting includes a choice of five wines from Trentadues
entire portfolio. Highlights include the La Storia Merlot, which has
won several recent awards, and the La Storia Petite Sirah, which also
brought home awards in 2014.
Some of these wines are only available in the tasting room, and
many sell out quickly.
But Trentadue is most famous for its selection of ports. Choose
from a Muscat Canelli Port, which hints of white peach and apricots,
or the fruity Zinfandel Port and Petite Sirah Port. For chocolate lovers
Trentadues Chocolate Amore Port is a best seller made from merlot
with chocolate extract.
For a truly unique tasting experience, Trentadue offers a gondola
tour, which takes groups of up to 16 people out to the vineyards in a
covered wagon. Tastings are conducted in the vineyards from which
the grapes came. Reservations are required for the gondola tours and
costs $25 per person.
During weekends in the summer Trentadue offers food and
chocolate pairings and opens an outdoor bar for visitors to enjoy. The
winery also sells picnic items and wine by the glass or bottle so
visitors can relax and enjoy the Trentadue experience.
Trentadue is located at 19170 Geyserville Ave, Geyserville and is
open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (707)
433-3104 or visit trentadue.com.

Provenance Vineyards, as the name suggests, is all about what goes on in


the vineyard. The winemakers have developed close grower relations and
spend a great deal of time walking the vineyards. Their minimal
intervention during winemaking ensures that each wine shows off the
unique personality of its origin. The key to their success is the time and
energy they put into the only thing that truly matters in wine: the land.
Indeed, provenance means origin or source, and can be used to
refer to the complete record of ownership that establishes an artworks
authenticity beyond question. In winemaking, provenance points to a wines
origins how one can trace what is in the glass directly back to the
vineyard. This name was chosen for the winery because all of its releases are
made from grapes that come from hallowed ground in the winemaking
world. In other words, the resulting wines are works of art in the bottle
because they clearly show the uniqueness of their origins.
The vineyards, whether they are owned directly by the winery or by
some of the valleys best growers, are historic and well-known sites. Most
winemakers never encounter vineyards of this quality during their careers;
these special spots include the Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard, Rutherford
Estate vineyards, the Three Palms Vineyard in Calistoga, the Beckstoffer Las
Amigas Vineyard in Carneros, and the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in
Oakville, which has been producing internationally recognized, awardwinning Cabernets since 1889.
Adjacent to the winery itself is the Hewitt Vineyard, first planted more
than 130 years ago, and from which only one wine is made: the limited-

release Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon. Rather than using other
varietals as part of a blend, the winemakers use the best grapes from
a variety of clones in the fifty-eight-acre vineyard to achieve each
years bottling. Its celebrated, enticing note of violet is a hallmark of
the vineyard, not present in wines from other Rutherford locations.
Tasting Provenance Vineyards and Hewitt wines are something
special, and the newly renovated grounds provide an amazing view
across the Valley. The red farmhouse winery is surrounded by
vineyards and a beautiful new patio lounge area to enjoy the wines.
Inside, the tasting room features a one-of-a-kind barrel stave floor
made from 960 barrels from the winerys inaugural vintage. In
addition, visitors can book an upscale tasting experience of Hewitt
Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon in its own private tasting room within
Provenance winery. Whether looking to taste flights or simply end
the day with a glass of wine, this special spot provides a memories
not soon forgotten.
Indeed, Provenance Vineyards is well known for Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc wines that express the
terroir of Rutherford appellation and very special single vineyards in
the Napa Valley. These include the aforementioned Beckstoffer
To Kalon Cab do not miss out! as well as library releases of smalllot Merlots and aged Cabernets, the Bordeaux-style Winemakers
Reserve Blend, and the delicious Ruby Cabernet Port. We come to
Napa for wines with a certain attitude, for wines that let us know
they came from one exact special spot. The winemakers at
Provenance Vineyards, thanks to the quality of their vineyards,
produce wines that do just that across the board. Enjoy!

Join Rodney Strong Vineyards &


Vinemans 3rd Annual Monte Rio Triathlon
The Ultimate Way to Experience the Wine Country
BY MONICA L. DASHWOOD

Dont think you can do it? Think again. On May 31, Rodney
Strong Vineyards and Vineman are adding a sprint triathlon to
complement the Olympic distance race for those not quite ready for
the longer distance triathlon. This early summer race is the perfect
distance involving a .5 mile swim, bike 12.4 miles and run 3.1 miles,
in which participants can finish in under an hour.
This state-of-the-art triathlon race is set in the heart of Monte Rio,
a vacation wonderland for athletes and families to cheer their loved
ones on, or enjoy a little get-away for themselves. The swim is set in
the lazy Russian River, just four miles downstream from Johnsons
Beach. The bike course follows the river and travels through the old
growth redwood trees. Those competing, in the Olympic distance
race will ride to the quaint coastal town of Jenner and back. The run
is held on the course that was once the home of the Moscow Road
Race, a popular run from the boom days of the 1970s. The run
course is flat, fast and shaded most of the way.
Mark Mathewson, Director of Hospitality and DTC Marketing for
Rodney Strong Vineyards had plenty to say about this wine country
challenge. The Vineman Monte Rio Triathlon exposes its athletes to
all that we love about Sonoma County: the beauty of the Russian
River in the swim, the ocean views on the bike ride to Jenner and a
majestic redwoods canopy on the run course. All thats missing from
a perfect Sonoma County experience is a winery, a natural fit for

Rodney Strong Vineyards.


Russ Pugh, founder of Vineman, a non-profit organization has
been running endurance sports events for over 25 years. Its what I
love to do. We encourage healthy living and tourism in the state of
California. And while were doing that, were raising money for a
good cause. Barbs Race started in honor of Barbara Recchia, a longtime Vineman volunteer and race committee member who faced
cancer twice and fought back. She took the challenge head on and is
now living a full and healthy life. Since the first Barbs race in 2001,
Vineman Charity Grants has raised over $870,000 and other North
Bay Cancer-related groups.
For decades, people have been inspired to train and run
Vineman. Volunteers who originally worked the race, pointing
athletes in the right direction, come back to join the fitness passion
craze.
For those who participate, chances are good theyll come away
with a prize. For overall winners, they have a chance at Rodney
Strongs 2010 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, and for age group
winners, their 2012 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
Pack your SUV and join the fun. Dont miss this opportunity to
stay fit, ride the glorious wine country, while giving back to the
community. If youre lucky, youll get to go home with select bottles
of delicious Rodney Strong red wines. The perfect way to spend your
day or weekend! For more information, go to www.vineman.com.

Perfect Pairs

BY MELISSA VOGT

Acacia Vineyard Chardonnay with Fresh Spring Frittata


Spring often calls for meals that exhibit
the abundance of spring harvest. Theres
almost no better way to enjoy this sun-filled
bounty than by whipping up a delicious
frittata. Originally hailing from Italy, the
concept of the frittata is to utilize fresh
ingredients from a local farm. Acacia
Vineyard has done just that with their Spring
Frittata recipe, delicately paired with their
exquisite Chardonnay.
Calling for an entire dozen of fresh farm
eggs, a pound of perfectly textured Yukon
gold potatoes, and four large leeks as the
main ingredients, this frittata packs in a ton
of flavor for such a simply prepared dish.
Pre-cooking the potatoes and leeks, then
adding the eggs and cheese makes this meal

very easy to prepare and indulgently


delicious especially when paired with
Acacias voluptuous Chardonnay.
Rich, creamy textures in the frittata bring
forward the luscious mouthfeel of the
Chardonnay, complementing the roundness
and soft textures on the palate. The decadent
half a cup of olive oil in which the potatoes
and leeks are pre-cooked in give extra weight
to the body of the wine, and surely pick up
on the delicate oak notes. The creaminess of
the goat cheese and fluffiness of the eggs as
well, both provide extra richness when
enjoyed with the wine.
Flavorfully, the goat cheese provides that
bit of tanginess that complements the bright
acidity of the wine, and also balances the

appealing notes of citrus, baked apple,


dAnjou pear and white nectarine on the
palate. Lighter notes of lemon zest, and
ginger spice lend themselves well to the
subtle earthy flavor of the leeks, the tangy
sour cream and the kick of spice in the salsa.
Perfectly illustrating the deliciousness of a
simple, farm fresh meal, this frittata is great
for mid-morning brunch with friends or
family, and a bottle of Acacia Chardonnay.
Acacia Vineyard is located at 2750 Las
Amigas Road, Napa, CA 94559 and is open
Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to
4 p.m., Sunday from 12 to 4 p.m. For more
information, call (707) 226-9991 or visit the
website at acaciavineyard.com.

Founded in 1992, today Frank Family owns 380 acres of the finest vineyard land
in Napa Valley and has one of the biggest word-of-mouth followings in the wine
country. First constructed as the Larkmead Winery in 1884, the historic stone
building on the property was refinished with native sandstone from the nearby
hills in 1906. The massive stone edifice is considered one of the finest structures
in the Napa Valley; it appears on the National Register of Historical Places and is
listed as a Point of Historical Interest in the state of California.

Robert Mondavi Winery announced the final acts in its popular
summer concert series lineup: Grammy Award-winning The

Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness will grace the winery stage on
July 4, while singer-guitarist and American Idol winner Phillip

the highlight of summer in the Napa Valley. Tickets are currently on
sale for the much anticipated concerts. In addition to the performers
above, wine and music enthusiasts will also have the opportunity to
enjoy such major headliners as Grammy Award-winning artists Lyle
Lovett and Melissa Etheridge as well as New Orleans natives
Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue and more.
In addition to great music, the first performance in the Summer
Concert Series opens with a bang on the Fourth of July at the winery,

connoisseurs from around the Bay Area and
beyond as V Marketplace in Yountville, hosts
the 25th Annual Fathers Day Invitational
Auto Show on Sunday, June 21 from 10 a.m.
to 3 p.m. Auto entries are by invitation. The
event is free to the Public.
From the national champions, to the local
favorites, to the one-of-a-kind collector
curiosities, more than 150 early and late
model autos spanning almost 100 years of
production can be seen at this noncompetitive, open-class invitational
exhibition. Whether nostalgia means rolling
down the road in a classic 1928 Model A
Phaeton, sliding into the drive-in with a 57
Chevy, or cruising the fast lane in a Ferrari,
this show-stopping collection presents some
of the finest autos to grace the highway in any
era and is the perfect gift for Fathers Day!
V Marketplace has also invited local

TASTING ROOM OF THE WEEK

MAZZOCCO WINERY
Single-Vineyard Zinfandel Heaven
BY JOSH STEIN

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


1400 Lytton Springs Road, Healdsburg, CA 95448

With thirteen Gold, Double Gold or Best in Class wines from


competitions just this year, Mazzocco Winery has shown itself for
many years to be a preeminent vineyard-driven Sonoma wine
producer. The winery is truly a labor of love for the owners, Ken and
Diane Wilson, who jumped at the chance to take over the vineyards
nestled between Dry Creek and Alexander Valleys, and the
specialness of the spot created their single-vineyard Zinfandel
program, which includes dozens of annual bottlings. Diversity in the
field is where the winery puts its emphasis, and the award-winning
wines are clearly the result of their efforts.
With this philosophy in place, Mazzocco makes a lot of different
wines, and that alone is reason to come up to the tasting room as
where else will you find the following in one spot? How about a
dozen vineyard-designate Zins, eight Reserve Vineyard-Designate
Zins, three Special Selection Zins, a Reserve Sonoma Zin, four Petite
Sirahs, multiple Cabs and Red Blends, a Merlot, two Chards, and a
Sauvignon Blanc (say that five times fast!)? Yup, thats the annual
lineup from the winery.
And yet despite the production behind all those wines, the
tasting room is every bit Sonoma County as one could want, with
lots of light in a wood-beamed building, overlooking gorgeous views
and vineyards visible from several tasting lounges. Reservations for
groups less than eight are not required, and besides a tasting of
current releases, visitors, with reservations, also can choose a private
tasting in one of the lounges, a picnic lunch and tasting on the deck,
or even a limo-driven private wine tour of several of the familys
winery estates. Looking for something even more special? Wilson
Artisan Wineries also offers vineyard guest houses on their
properties, and the Mazzocco cottage is adjacent to the winery
buildings and tasting room, surrounded by the 17 acres of estate
vineyards.
If thats not enough reasons to come visit, on June 6th, the winery
is holding its annual Winemaker Vineyard Picnic, a tasting of
newly released 2013 Zins paired with a gourmet lunch, and last but
not least, June 27th is the annual All American Zin Day at
Mazzocco, Rued, Wilson, and Family Wineries of Dry Creek Valley.
Clearly, the reason Mazzocco has been as successful as it has is
that they have put in the time and effort necessary to find and
nurture special vineyard spots, and all the awards aside, the great
wines themselves are the testament to their philsophy of letting the
vineyard shine through in each bottling. Do yourself a favor and
head to Dry Creek to taste what vision, tenacity, and idealism have
produced: great wines in a fantastic setting. Youll be glad you did
enjoy!

Sonoma Valley Museum of Arts Barrels of Hope Project


The Sonoma Valley Museum of Arts Barrels
of Hope project showcases eight local artists
original creations based on repurposed wine
barrels. This select group includes painters,
sculptors and mixed-media artists who are
donating their time and talent to raise funds
for the museums programs. These unique
pieces will be exhibited at the museum June
18-20 and will be for sale on the museums
website. The exhibition will close with a
reception and live auction of unsold barrels on
Saturday, June 20.
The barrels are whimsical in design, often
incorporating the rich natural world and landscape of Sonoma
Valley. With Fish in a Barrel, Kate Murphy creates a cocktail table

on casters containing floating trout.


Barnyard Barrel by Suzanne Brangham
incorporates the legs and wings of an animal
still taking shape. For the Birds by Marcie
Waldron is a tower of colorful mini-barrels
with wild birds adorned with jewelry. Tony
Rockwells The Butterfly Effect uses the
barrels seductive curvature to create the flow of
a waterfall, morphing into a butterflys wings,
and Jim Callahans Phoenix Rising barrel is
deconstructed and reborn as a mythical bird.
Barbara Aliza uses acrylic paint to create a
scene that evokes, the sensual theme of the
seduction of wine and beauty in Sonoma Valley.
Other artists push the structure of the barrel even further. Linda
Kuhns has fashioned Lady Hope out of a small oak cask adorned
with bits of hardware and Swarovski crystals in a process she calls
HARDART. And Douglas Fenn Wilson is approaching his barrel with
an eye for dynamic layering and architecture, cutting his barrel
lengthwise, hinging and encased it in faux granite. When this
outdoor piece, an archaeological discovery, is opened, it becomes a
full bar. Doug calls it a BARtifact.

artists and the Barrels of Hope campaign.

Farm To Table Pig Roast This Fathers Day At Meadowcroft Wines


Bring Dad out for a Fathers Day feast fit
for, well, Dad! Enjoy a spit-fired, whole
suckling pig prepared by Master Griller
Adam De la Montanya and house made
sides prepared by Meadowcrofts own
resident chef, Darby Tarantino. Live
entertainment and a few special surprises
will round out this memorable Fathers Day
celebration. This inaugural event takes
place on Sunday, June 21, from noon to 3
p.m. and is $45 per person for
Meadowcroft wine club members and $55
for non-members. Reservations are required
by calling the tasting room at (707) 934-4090 or visiting
meadowcroftwines.com.
The spit-fired pig will be prepared by Master Griller Adam De La
Montanya who currently represents Third Street AleWorks as their
Assistant Brewer, but has created quite a demand for his unique style
of barbecue, often booking his weekends as a private caterer.
De La Montanya developed his passion for Texas style barbecue
while residing for many years in Austin, Texas and uses his Spanish
heritage as influence for his cooking.
Meadowcrofts Resident Chef Darby Tarantino, who is a graduate

56

of Ballymaloe Cookery School in Co. Cork,


Ireland, plans to prepare classic Wine
Country sides that will complement De La
Montanyas barbecue and pair beautifully
with Meadowcrofts award-winning wines.
In honoring her farm-to-table approach,
Tarantino will prepare sides to include
Hooker House Bourbon baked beans,
featuring Rancho Gordo Heirloom beans
and her classic Sonoma Slaw using fresh
produce from Green String Farm in
Petaluma. Grilled French bread from Full
Circle Bakery in Penngrove slathered with
butter and spices will complete this Fathers Day feast.
Meadowcroft Wines includes the Meadowcroft, Foyt Family and
Thomas Henry labels. The Meadowcroft tasting room is part of the
CornerStone Sonoma complex that features 24 world-class gardens, a
gourmet caf, art galleries and cutting-edge design shops all set
among acres of vineyards.
Meadowcroft Wines is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The
venue is available for private parties, private tastings, wine dinners
and other events. For information or to make reservations, call (707)
934-4090.

Lloyd Davis Opens Corner 103 as a Unique Wine Tasting Experience


Former owner of Viansa Winery, Lloyd Davis, just opened Corner
103, a Sonoma Tasting Experience, located at 103 West Napa Street,
Sonoma. Since selling Viansa, Lloyd has decided to start his own
wine brand and open a tasting room on the historic Sonoma Plaza.
Lloyd took control of Viansa Winery in 2008 and is credited with
its successful operational and financial turnaround. During his
leadership, Viansa wines won more than 400 wine competition
medals, many for Best in Class. Viansa became known as a must
visit when coming to Sonoma wine country.
Turning his eyes to building his own wine brand from the ground
up and recognizing that most people are intimidated by wine, Lloyd
created a unique experience where wine is explored and discussed in
a relaxed and fun environment. Guests will taste seven wines in a
seated environment designed for wine tasting. There will be no more
than 10 guests at a time. Each limited-production wine will come
from a different AVA of Sonoma County that showcases the varietal as
well as the AVA such as a Ros Sparkling wine from Carneros, a
Chardonnay from Sonoma Coast, a Pinot Noir from Russian River
Valley, a Merlot from Alexander Valley, a red blend from various
Sonoma AVAs, a Zinfandel from Dry Creek Valley, a Cabernet
Sauvignon form Sonoma Valley, and a Petit Verdot (wine club
exclusive) from Rockpile.
During this experience, guests will explore each of the seven AVAs
and learn what varietals grow best there. They will understand how
soil conditions, weather and vineyard location will affect the flavor
characteristics of the grape. In addition, they will learn how to taste
wine, what type of glass it should be served in, why a glass makes a
difference, the correct temperature in which it should be served and
how wine and food work together to bring out distinct flavor
characteristics. By the end of this tasting experience, guests will be and
able to impress their friends with the wealth of their wine knowledge.

Coro Mendocino Celebrates 2012 Vintage


with Release Party in San Francisco, June 19
The Iconic and Collaborative Label Debuts its 2012 Collection of Wines
with a Multi-Course Winemaker Dinner at Dogpatch WineWorks in SF
Coro Mendocino, a collection of ultra-premium wines produced
to showcase the rich heritage and unique characteristics of
Mendocino County, will debut its 2012 vintage at their 12th Annual
Release Party on Friday, June 19. This year, Coro Mendocino is
excited to announce that it has moved the annual events location
from Mendocino County to San Francisco, with the event this year
taking place at Dogpatch WineWorks in the DogPatch District of San
Francisco. The Coro Mendocino winemakers and local food
personality Liam Mayclem of KCBS Foodie Chap and KPIX 5 TVs
Eye on The Bay will host the event, and Executive Chef Bruce
Riezenman will be preparing an elegant multi-course dinner designed
to showcase the 2012 vintage.
We are beyond excited to grow this annual event by hosting our
first-ever Release Party in San Francisco, states Hoss Milone,
Marketing Manager for Coro Mendocino and Winemaker at Brutocao
Cellars. While Mendocino has been a wonderful location for our
Release Dinner for the past 11 years, in 2015 we are looking forward
to sharing the Coro story with a larger audience, outside the borders
of our beloved Mendocino County.
The 2012 vintage marks the 12th release for Coro Mendocino,
and includes wines from eight diverse Mendocino County vintners.
The christened label and blend known as Coro named and
inspired from the Latin root for chorus (from many into one) is
the first appellation-controlled blend in the United States.
Every Coro wine is a signature blend, individually handcrafted in
Mendocino County from 100 percent Mendocino County grapes, in
strict accordance with the production protocols and bylaws set forth
by Consortium Mendocino. Zinfandel, the countys heritage varietal,
must make up no more than 70 percent and no less than 40 percent
of the wine. Nine other types of grapes may be included, typically
Rhone or Italian varietals.
All Coro Mendocino wines are aged a minimum of one year in the
barrel and one in the bottle before the world is permitted to taste
them. Even then, no one can sip until the winemakers in the
Consortium have blind-tasted every wine and determined that the
wine is worthy of the Coro label.
2015 marks the 12th vintage of the Coro Mendocino label,
established in 2000 by a collection of liked-minded Mendocino
County winemakers. Over the past fifteen years, twenty-one wineries
have participated in the Coro consortium. The reviews for previous
years have been effusive, calling the wines smooth, lush, intense,
sophisticated and fun, and rich, long and stylish.
Of course, no two Coro wines are ever exactly alike. Oenophiles
will have the opportunity to be the first to taste the 2012 vintage at
the official Coro Release Party on June 19, at Dogpatch WineWorks in
San Francisco. Each vintner will pour selections of their white, red
and sparkling wines during the welcome reception (beginning at 6

Catering. Following the opening reception, guests will be seated and
enjoy a gourmet, four-course meal highlighting local Mendocino
products prepared by celebrated owner and Executive Chef at Park
Avenue Catering, Bruce Riezenman. Each course will be paired with
multiples wines from the 2012 vintage (full menu with pairings listed
above). Every table will host a different winemaker or a winery
representative from a Coro winery to answer any questions guests
might have about Coro and the wines being poured. The evening will
conclude with a selection of beautifully handmade desserts and treats,
including a Coro sorbet, paired with ports and dessert wines from the
participating Coro wineries.
Wineries participating in Coro Mendocinos 2012 Annual Release
Party include: Barra of Mendocino, Brutocao Cellars, Clos du Bois,
Golden Vineyards, McFadden Vineyard, Parducci Wine Cellars, Rays
Station and Testa Vineyards. As a parting gift, each couple will receive
a complete collection of the eight 2012 Coro wines produced by
these labels to take home and enjoy (a value of $320).
Cost per couple to attend the Release Party is $700, and includes
the complete collection of 2012 Coro wines (a $350 value).
The Coro wines have evolved over the last 12 years as fullbodied, fruit-forward products that stand out as complex and
different from standard varietal bottlings, said Dennis Patton, a
founding Coro winemaker. In moving the dinner to San Francisco,
we hope to introduce Coro wines to individuals who are not familiar
with the brand, and have them fall in love with our story and wines,
just as our loyal and long-time fan base has.
