Cheers! from Wine Country This Week


This is the issue of wine and food festivals, so get out your calendars
and be prepared for a stellar lineup of celebrations as the days wane and
we slowly approach the autumn season.
Before we jump into the culinary details, we want to draw your
attention to our cover this week, featuring Breathless Wines (page 22).
This family-run winery is dedicated to producing traditional mthode
champenoise sparking wines from high quality Sonoma County grapes.
Having garnered over 20 Best of Class, Gold and 90+ point ratings
between their three wines, Breathless Wines should be on every bubblelovers list of winery destinations to visit.
First up we have the 21st Annual Bodega Seafood, Art & Wine
Festival, hosted on August 29-30 (page 28). A favorite of locals and out of
town visitors, this festival promises to attract foodies, art lovers, wine
enthusiasts and beer connoisseurs alike for the chance to experience the
bounty of cuisine, beverages and art.
Not far off on the horizon, we look forward to Kendall-Jacksons
Heirloom Tomato Festival on Saturday, September 26 (page 52). Get
ready to sample tomato-inspired dishes that uses more than 150 tomato
varieties, as well as incredible wine from local vintners, and of course,
there will be plenty of fun activities to participate in throughout the day.
For Nor Cal locals looking for an easy day-trip, or Mendocino County
residents looking for some fun, look no further than WineSong (page 59).
For the last 31 years, the WineSong wine and food festivalwhich raises
funds for the Mendocino communityhas brought together the very best
in local wine and food for all who attend.
Speaking of food, weve got a few culinary delights in store for you this
issue. Dont miss out on your chance to whip up a classic Zinfandel and
blue cheese burger pairing from Judds Hill Winery & Microcrush
(page 36); the provided recipe is sure to satisfy your BBQ craving!
Theres also the new wine and food pairing menu at V. Sattui, which
promises to be as tantalizing as their wines and the perfect way to spend
an afternoon of tasting at the stunning Saint Helena property (page 42).
Finally, we encourage all foodies to indulge in the upscale, highly
acclaimed cuisine at 1313 Main in Downtown Napa; having just won the
Four Diamond award from AAA, this culinary destination is a must-visit
in the valley (page 43).
Cheers!

Wineology

INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER

BY LEN NAPOLITANO

Whats happening at a winery during harvest?


Harvest season is defined by the months when ripe grapes start
getting picked from vines, transported to the winery and
processed into wine. It is commonly known as crush. Its a
stressful time for everyone involved, as tons of grapes arrive at the
winery every hour, and the talent and patience of winemakers,
assistant winemakers, lab workers and seasonal interns are tested.
Prior to accepting the first batch of grapes, the winemaking
team makes sure all of the processing equipment is thoroughly
clean and in working order, all pumps and hoses rinsed and
sanitized, barrels washed and dried, and yeast and chemicals at
hand. The work they do and decisions they make during this busy
period play an important role in how their wines will perform
when released to the public some within a year, as with most
white wines, or up to four years later for some full-bodied red
wines.
The day begins at dawn to pick grapes before temperatures get
too hot and while fruit is still cool from overnight temperatures.
Everyone involved is aware that an unexpected event could turn a
years worth of effort into disappointing results. For example, an
independent grower who decided when to pick the grapes might

send the winery fruit outside the winemakers acceptable range of


ripeness. Its possible the grapes could be rejected altogether and
the winery will have to figure out how to make up for that loss of
tonnage. If overly ripe grapes are accepted, creating a quality wine
from them might require adjustments in the winemaking process
possibly the addition of acids or application of a different type of
yeast than anticipated. Winemakers have to be ready for all
situations.
In the coolest wine-growing regions, where grapes do not
always achieve full ripeness, juice almost always needs adjusting
before fermentation unless a low-alcohol wine is desired. If state
wine law allows it, sugar is added a step called chaptalization
in order to achieve acceptable alcohol content.
If you happen to be at a winery during harvest, you will see
grapes trucked in from the vineyard, typically in white plastic bins,
about four-feet square. Bins have the capacity to carry either onehalf or one ton of grapes. Full bins of red grapes are dumped by
forklift into a machine called a destemmer-crusher, which first
separates grapes from stems and then gently crushes them to
release the juices.

BREATHLESS
WINES
Celebrating Your Breathless Moments
Sisters Cynthia, Rebecca and Sharon

A Family Affair
When it comes down to it, Breathless Wines is a family affair, built by the
love of three sisters Rebecca, Sharon and Cynthia, and the passion for life
that their mother passed down to them.
The sisters are dedicated to creating refreshing sparkling wines that pair
well with lifes special moments. We wanted to do something in our Moms
honor, said Sharon Cohn. It was all about our breathless moments with
her, being involved in the community and giving back.
Breathless sparkling wines are handcrafted from select Sonoma County
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes using the traditional French method,
mthode champenoise, guided by the expert winemaking hand of Penny
Gadd-Coster. With 30 years experience in sparkling winemaking, Penny is
a renowned expert in the field having earned Winemaker of the Year in
the inaugural Wine Industry Awards, as well as hundreds of other honors.

A World-Class Tasting Experience

Winemaker Penny Gadd-Coster

Breathless has garnered over 20 Best of Class, Gold and 90+ point ratings
between its three wines and is recognized as one of the most distinguished
sparkling wine brands today. In July, Wine Enthusiast magazine placed
Breathless at the top of its list of 10 Best Sparkling Wines Under $30 in
the United States. Experience the bubbly at the temporary, pop up
Breathless tasting room located at 4001 Hwy 128 in Geyserville, in
breathtaking Alexander Valley. Open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.,
Breathless wines are available for $10 by the glass or flight (fees waived
when joining the wine club). Customers can experience the thrill of
sabering open their wine with a sword truly the most breathless way to
pop the cork!

Crowdfunding to Build a Tasting Room, and a Better Community

Each year, Breathless sponsors the Key to the Closet at Wine, Women & Shoes
22

Breathless has launched a crowdfunding campaign to build a new tasting


room in Healdsburg, opening in early 2016 just a few blocks from the
Healdsburg square at 499 Moore Lane. Use of the space will be donated
quarterly to non-profit organizations for fundraising and educational events.
One such organization is Healthcare Foundation Northern Sonoma
County. Each year, Breathless Wines is a sponsor of Wine, Women &
Shoes, a major fundraiser for the foundation which last year raised over
$400,000 to improve healthcare access.

Breathless is a wonderful partner, said Pat Callahan, Executive


Director of Healthcare Foundation Northern Sonoma County. They care
about their community and are not just willing, but excited to support
our cause and help out in any way they can. I cant wait to see the new
tasting room and sip their delicious bubbles in the new setting!
Through the crowdfunding campaign, Breathless aims to foster
connections within the non-profit community. We cant wait to see these
valuable partnerships being forged, and in doing so, help organizations
create real differences in peoples lives, said Cohn. Get involved, join
our Breathless Founders Circle, and donate on our website the perks
and rewards for donating make it so worthwhile. Breathless Wines will
host a crowdfunding launch party in September. Sign up to receive an
invitation: breathlesswines.com/email-club/.

HUGE BEAR WINES

Huge Bear Wines have left the woods and moved to the city to become a mainstay in
downtown Calistoga. This inviting tasting room with a spirited and savvy staff will create an
unforgettable experience for adventurous visitors.
The tasting room opened this year on Valentines Day and the history of the building itself ties
in well with the historical background of Huge Bear and the companys rugged determination.
The owners discovered an article from the early 1900s that chronicled the adventures of a
Grizzly Bear that would come down from the nearby mountains searching for food often raiding
several homes of the Knights Valley inhabitants who lived in the area. This bear was never caught.
Huge Bear was named in tribute to this particular Grizzly Bear featured in the childrens book,
The Biggest Bear by Lynd Ward. After getting permission from the author/artists family, Huge Bear
was licensed to use the illustration featured on the label with one minor change the basket
originally contained apples and it was changed to grapes. Mr. Ward illustrated more than 200
books and most are now considered American classics. His works include six woodcut graphic
novels, of which four have recently been republished. He is also known for his art in watercolor,
oil, brush and ink, lithography and mezzotint.
Bears and grapes have long been important in California history and this is reflected in the
Great Seal of the State of California, which was adopted by the Constitutional Convention of 1849.
The seal was designed by Major R. S. Garnett of the United States Army, and proposed by Caleb
Lyon, a clerk of the convention. The Roman goddess of wisdom, Minerva, has at her feet a grizzly
bear and clusters of grapes representing wildlife and agricultural richness. Near the upper edge of
the seal are 31 stars representing the number of states in the union with Californias becoming the
number 31. Just as in Greek mythology Minerva sprung full-grown from the head of Jupiter,
California became a state on September 9, 1850, without having to go through a territorial stage.

Dessert Wine Lovers Rejoice! Huge Bear Crafts


Stunning 2008 Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc
The Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc fruit is sourced from the
Knights Vineyard in Knights Valley. This unique wine was
created when the Noble Rot (Botrytis Cinerea) grows on
grape clusters late in the season. This rare event causes wines
to be rich and sweet, but still retain bright acidity and
exceptional complexity.

an Elegant Petit Verdot Grown in St. Helena

AWARD-WINNING
W
WINES SOLD ONLY AT THE WINERY

Three acres of Trincheros Central Park West Vineyard are


planted with Petit Verdot, a classic Bordeaux variety that
tends to ripen slowly. Petit Verdot literally translates to little
green and the grapes are some of the hardest to cultivate in
the Napa Valley. The warm, steady climate of St. Helena gives
the grapes a chance to ripen consistently, developing the
tannins, color and flavors that make Petit Verdot essential to
add to Bordeaux blends. However, the flavors are so
impressive that a small amount of Petit Verdot is bottled as a
stand-alone varietal. With a lavish violet bouquet, a deep,
inky color and velvety mouth feel, the Central Park West
Petit Verdot is one of Trincheros most coveted wines.

The 21st Annual Bodega Seafood, Art & Wine Festival


Brings Delicious To Northern California Coastal Wine Country
It may be held on a rugged, rural ranch but the Bodega Seafood,
Art & Wine Festival is no country-bumpkin event. On August 29th
and 30th in the sleepy little burg of Bodega, this 21-year-old festival
opens the gates to a truly unique venue with exceptional quality
throughout, making it an art, wine/beer and food festival destination
in California. An annual benefit, it attracts thousands of foodies, art
aficionados, wine and beer connoisseurs and music lovers to
picturesque Watts Ranch in the village where Alfred Hitchcock once
filmed his classic thriller, The Birds.
A bevy of restaurants and catering companies offer a bounty of
seafood dishes and other edibles. Options like barbecued oysters,
crab cakes, Key lime calamari, fish tacos, albacore wrapped in bacon,
grilled salmon, fish and chips, and swordfish souvlaki, are just a few
delicious items on vendors menus. There are lots of new and yummy
edibles this year like Caribbean pizza, sweet and
savory crepes, Indian cuisine, Lebanese cuisine
and much more. The festival focuses on seafood,
but there is plenty of meat, chicken and
vegetarian options to please all palates, as well as
sweet treats, so this is a food lovers dream
festival.
The Wine and Microbrewed Beer Tasting is
always a huge draw and this year will be the
largest tasting yet: with more than 35 wineries
and 20 microbreweries. The tasting is a
wonderful mix of known companies, as well as
many small boutique wineries and up and
coming breweries. Previous participants, such as
Alexander Valley, Cline Cellars, Jacuzzi Family, Korbel, Frey
Vineyards, Laugnitas, Lost Coast Brewery, Bear Republic, Sierra
Nevada and Woodfour, to name small handful, will be joined by
many newcomers to our tasting like Meadowcroft, Azari, Erin E
Wines, Stone Brewing, Golden State Brewing and more. The tasting is
$20 for a commemorative wine or beer glass and six tastes. The
festival also has a Wine and Microbrew Shop. Patrons can sample
wines and beers, and then buy them on site.
The quality of the art and fine craft is unrivaled in Sonoma County
and beyond. This juried show attracts artisans from throughout
California and other parts of the country. The festival aims to appeal
to a broad range of attendees, by providing a mix of higher end fine
art and craft and more moderate ranged craft work. The festival
producers are artists themselves, and know the ins and outs of doing
shows from both sides, having each traveled to do festivals for over
30 years.
Four stages of entertainment give festival goers a full day of
musical and non-musical diversion. This year Carolyn Wonderland,
Its a Beautiful Day, Caravanserai and David Luning will all grace the
Main Stage for the first time at our festival, as well as perennial
28

favorites Steve Lucky & the Rhumba Bums and


Poor Mans Whiskey. The Wine Stage will
feature Celtic rock sensations Brother, as well
as Dgiin, and gypsy jazz Cascada. The
Entertainment Stage is sure to amuse with
Benny & Bebes Magic Circus and the Mark
and Dre Show. And this year we have a new
stage with chef demos and fruit and vegetable
carving! The very talented Becky Selengut from
Seattle will be demonstrating how to cook fish,
along with Jimmy Zhang from Oakland who is
a master fruit and veggie carver.
This is a fun family event so we have jump, slide and rockwall,
face painting, as well as ceramic painting for kids. A unique new
addition this year will be the color-in giant mural for all ages. It
depicts many favorite photographs shot at the festival over the years
which have been converted into black and white images to fill in with
washable paints: an art project for all our visitors. Also added will be
interactive environmental exhibits presented by our sponsor:
Stewards of the Coast & Redwoods.
A portion of the proceeds from the event supports two vital nonprofits Stewards of the Coast and Redwoods, which works in
partnership with the California State Parks in the Russian
River/Sonoma Coast region, as well as the Bodega Volunteer Fire
Department.
Festival hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, August 29,
and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, August 30. Admission is $12
in advance for adults, discounts for teens, seniors and military, and
free for children less than 12 years of age. Watts Ranch is located at
16855 Bodega Highway in the village of Bodega. For additional

SEQUOIA GROVE
VINEYARDS
When visiting Napa Valley for wine tasting, there are a multitude of experiences from
which to choose. Food and wine pairings, educational seminar tastings, vertical tastings of
consecutive vintagesthe list goes on and on. At Sequoia Grove Vineyards, located in the
heart of Napa Valley in Rutherford, the Taste for Cabernet experience offers guests an
intimate look at what elements of taste do and do not pair well with Cabernet Sauvignon.

A Taste for Cabernet


Hosted by Sequoia Groves Senior Wine Educator, Dean Busquaert, A Taste for Cabernet
guides wine and food pairing enthusiasts through Sequoia Groves single vineyard bottlings
of Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as the top-tier Cabernet blendCambium. Following the
tasting, guests are invited to taste one ingredient that represents each element of taste, in
conjunction Cambium, to experience the way the flavors interact with the wine. In this
unique food and wine pairing experience, not all ingredients go well with the wine. This,
Busquaert states, allows Cabernet enthusiasts to truly understand how a great bottle of wine
can be enhanced, or even ruined, by the meal it is served withreinforcing the importance
of food and wine pairing synergy.
Leading up to the food and wine pairing portion of the experience, Busquaert urges
guests to understand the importance of pairing Cabernet appropriately. He says that so
often, someone will taste a wine and love it in the tasting room, but go home and enjoy it
with an inappropriate pairing and be completely disappointed. Hearing this more than once
is what inspired Busquaert to create the A Taste for Cabernet experienceand guests have
been both enlightened and excited by it ever since.

Tasting Terroir
Drawing on his own knowledge of Napa Valley and using slides of vineyard images and
appellation maps, Busquaert delves deep into the terroir of each single vineyard bottling.
Tasting through the unique soils, elevations and sun exposures, guests identify and discuss
with Busquaert the influence of terroir and how it affects the finished wines. This tasting
shows you how when you move the same grape from location to location, it changes
drastically, Busquaert states.

Creating Balanced Wine


To really allow the terroir to shine in the glass,
Winemaker Molly Hill ferments and ages different blocks of
Cabernet Sauvignon separately, before blending together the
blocks to create each single vineyard bottlingproving just
how much variation in terroir there is amongst individual
blocks in a single vineyard. In addition to wanting to
highlight the terroir, Hill is adamant about making
balanced wines, Busquaert says, and it certainly shows.
In all of the wines poured during the A Taste for
Cabernet experience, there is the presence of perfected
balance. In each of the Sequoia Grove Cabernets, fruit, acid,
tannin and oak are harmonized in perfect synchronicity.

To Pair or Not to Pair


For the pairing portion of the experience, grapes, a
lemon wedge, coarse pink salt, and brie and aged gouda
cheeses are used to represent the elements of tasteand the
results of pairing them with Cambium are enlightening.
Sequoia Groves A Taste for Cabernet, hosted by Senior
Wine Educator Dean Busquaert, is both a unique and
engaging experience that should not be missed when
visiting Napa Valley.

WINE COUNTRY NEWS << Wine Country This Week

New Releases
Summer brings new releases! The following new releases are
now available for tasting and purchase:
Blonde Tawny: This extremely popular white port, made from
Chardonnay and and a small amount of Verdelho, spends
eight years in barrel before release; the result is a perfect
pairing for shell fish, chowders and salads.
Madeline Late Harvest Riesling: This rare Riesling spends
two years in barrel, and is not a guaranteed annual release,
since it is extremely vintage-dependent. Lightly fortified, the
Madeline is perfect for the start or finish of any meal.

Custom Wine Bottle Etching


For a distinct, handcrafted gift item, Jeff and Roxanne Prager
offer custom wine bottle etching. Purchase a bottle of Prager
port or wine and write a personalized message to be etched on
the bottle of your choosing.

Caramelized Nuts & Port Chocolate


In addition to the custom wine bottle etching, Prager offers
other unique gift items as well. Pick up some delicious
caramelized nutsknown and loved by all throughout the

Unique Tasting Room Displays


There are also several unique tasting room displays that await
visitors, as does explanation of the fortification process and
why the Pragers produce "the least sweet ports in California.

Imagine being a teenager and being told your fathers midlife crisis was relocating the
family from Orange County to the Napa Valley, where through perseverance and effort by
the whole family, the creation of some of the finest New World ports was the result.
Sounds like the makings of a movie, right? Well, actually, welcome to just the start of the
story that is Peter Pragers thirty-five years in the wine business. Napa is world-known for
its winemakers dry wines; however, almost no one has turned those techniques to
producing the same kind of range of sweet winesexcept for Jim and now Peter Prager,
that is, who have used that same fine winemakers eye for detail but applied in a different
fashion, honoring the tradition of long-lived, long-aging, always-representative-of-thevintage port wines. And not just with one or two. How about more than a half-dozen,
ranging from dry to off-dry to sweet, displaying the ability of port wines to pair with a
wide range of cuisines.
Jim Pragers first crush took place in an 1865-built carriage house on their property in
south St. Helena. Their first releases were Cabernet, Chardonnay, Zinfandel and the Noble
Companion Cabernet portall 120 cases of itin 1979. To this day, everyone at the
winery is a Prager by birth or marriage, and while Generation One is now comfortably
retired, Generations Two runs all aspects with Threeall twenty-two of themquickly

Port As a Winemaking Philosophy


Peter himself went to Frenso State for his degree in
enology, finishing just as Jim was stepping back from his
responsibilities in 1995. Peter makes a range of wines beyond
the norm, not just for Napa wine but for North American
wine. He says they are crafted as wines that will stand the
test of time, and that the extended aging brings out a
roundness of flavors, creating a complex, balanced wine in
the process. The results present a full array of whats possible
with this winemaking philosophy, though each is no more
than about five hundred cases of production.
The long-aging Royal Escort Port (and the only released
in special years Royal Escort Vintage Port) is made from
Petite Sirah, and the Noble Companion Tawny Port, aged for
a full decade in oak, is ready for drinking right away. The
Napa Valley Port is made from the Portuguese varietal Tinta
Roriz blended with Petite Sirah; the Petite Sirah is the
backbone of the wine, bringing richness, and the Tinta Roriz
adds an elegant fruit character. Going even further into rare
production territory, the Aria White Port is made from
Chardonnay, and the Alyssa Golden Dry Portyou read that
rightis made from the white Verdelho grape. The still
wines are equally out of the ordinary: Petite Sirah; two lateharvest Rieslings, the fruity and crisp Sweet Claire and the

The Quintessential Summer Pairing:

Judds Hill Zinfandel


& Blue Cheese Burgers
Summer calls for refreshing dips in the pool, backyard
barbecue parties and of course, hearty Zinfandel to accompany
those sweet and spicy BBQ flavors. Judds Hill Winery has just the
perfect pairing for a quintessential summer experience. Its
simplefollow this easy, delicious burger recipe, fire up the grill
and pop open a bottle of their 2013 Burkes Blazing Barbecue
Zinfandel.
Made with blue cheese crumbles, fresh chives, hot pepper and
Worcestershire sauces, as well as mustard, these burgers are
anything but ordinary. The complex flavor profile of these juicy
burgers becomes even more heightened when paired with the
2013 Burkes Blazing Barbecue Zinfandelfull of mixed fruit
aromatics and dried fruit flavors on the palate.
Highly structured and finessed, this Zinfandel possesses the
right texture and body to complement the juicy burger. Right
away, the Zinfandel picks up on the tasty blue cheese crumbles,
bringing a bit of earthy tanginess to the wine. The chives provide
a nice contrast in flavor, juxtaposing the dried fruit flavors that
abound on the palate. Zinfandel is often known to have a bit
peppery spice to it, and this one is no exceptionlending itself
well to the spicy dry mustard and coarsely ground black pepper
in the burgers.
The touch of spiciness in the burgers, no doubt from the hints
of hot pepper and Worcestershire sauces, bring diversity to the
wine; these flavors mingle with the ripe cherry, hints of pepper,
and dried fig flavors to create a lovely range of flavor complexity
as the wine and burger synergizes on the palate.

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.

V. Sattui Launches New Tours, Wine & Food Pairing Menu

V. Sattuis New Daily Tour


In this 30-minute tour guests discover
whats happening in the vineyards now, get
an up-close look at our sustainable growing
practices and our winemaking equipment
while learning how V. Sattui crafts its
portfolio of more than 60 award-winning
wines. They also learn the colorful story of
how V. Sattui Winery was founded 130 years
ago in San Francisco by Vittorio Sattui, and
how the winery would later be resurrected
by Vittorios great-grandson, Dario, in the
Napa Valley.
Sunday through Friday at 11 a.m. and 2
p.m., once daily on Saturdays at 11 a.m.
Reservations recommended
$30.00 per adult and $15.00 per child six
years or older
A voucher for a complimentary wine
tasting will be presented to guests over 21
years old.

InstaSomm Tour
While it takes many years of study and
experience to become a Sommelier, youll be
one step closer after spending just 90
minutes with V. Sattui! This in-depth tour
gives guests a close up view of the different
grape varieties grown in the certified organic
Vittorios Vineyard, and what goes into
growing and harvesting those grapes at the
peak of flavor. Guests will follow the journey
of the grapes as they travel from the field to
the crush pad, to the fermenting tanks and
all the way to the bottle. Finally, they get to
experience the finished product in a seated
tasting, with a bite of house-made
charcuterie and an assortment of cheeses
from around the world.
Offered every Sunday at noon
Reservations are required
$65.00 members, $75.00 non-members

New Summer Menu for Food & Wine Pairing


The popular Wine & Food Pairing
sessions expand flavor horizons for guests as
they discover new and interesting ways to
pair foods with a selection of V. Sattui wines.
In the new summer menu, guests will
experience creamy Brie de Nangis Gratin
paired with potato crisps, apples and
peppadew pepper. Then they discover how
the flavors of each are further complemented
with a sip of V. Sattuis sparkling wine,
Prestige Cuve. The pairings meander
through all of the senses on the palate, with
surprising couplings of cheeses, charcuterie,
and local produce with V. Sattui wines. Be
ready to fall in love with the house-made
Vanilla Bean Gelato & Madeira Float!
Offered Saturday and Sunday at 11 a.m.
Reservations are required, with a minimum
of 48 hours notice
$65.00 members, $75.00 non-members

MAZZOCCO WINERY
Get your Zin on at Dry Creek Valleys Mazzocco
There are many reasons to go to Dry Creek Valleya region west of Healdsburg
known for its breathtaking beauty and quality red winesand tasting the Zinfandel at
Mazzocco Winery should be at the top of the list.
Rich and spicy, full of fruit, the small, sustainable winery on Lytton Springs Road
produces a mighty Zinfandel that attracts connoisseurs and newbies from all around.
People have cult favorites, said Rob Izzo, Wilson Artisan Wineries Sales Director,
adding that the 2012 and 2013 vintages, the latter of which will be released in August,
produced stellar wines.
Mazzocco crafts 25 different Zinfandels, sourced from various vineyards around
Sonoma County and each with its own distinct character.
We are unique with single vineyard designation, and people can taste the differences
and find their favorites in the bunch, said Roseann Worley, tasting room manager.
Mazzoccos winemaker Antoine Favero doesnt stop at Zin. He also creates Sauvignon
Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah to round out the portfolio
but you might want to stock up on that wine because Mazzocco only produces 20,000
to 25,000 cases a year. It is hard to get these wines outside of the winery, especially the
very popular Zinfandels.

Add to the tasting experience by purchasing a cheese platter or


a boxed lunch in the tasting room. Mazzocco also encourages its
visitors to bring in a picnic lunch and lounge outdoors with a
bottle of your favorite wine.

Learning While Sipping


Mazzocco promotes wine education, teaching its visitors about its wild yeast
fermentation process and sustainable farming methods, while inviting them to ask
questions and possibly tour the facilities.
A typical visit to its tasting room offers visitors a chance to sample from an extensive
list of varietals. The tasting room can get crowded on busy afternoons, especially during
the harvest weeks, but ample space outdoors provides more room to savor the grounds.
Outdoor tastings can be made by appointment for groups of eight or larger. Private
group tastings of four to seven wines include a dedicated member of the winerys staff to
discuss and educate about the wines.
The Tres Amigos tasting, by reservation only, showcases a collection of three
Zinfandels named after and reflective of Mazzoccos vineyard manager, winemaker and
owner.

Wine Country This Week >> MENDOCINO/LAKE COUNTIES

WINESONG 2015 Mendocinos Premier Wine and Food Event Keeps It Local
For the last 31 years, the weekend after Labor Day, wine and food
aficionados from all over the country (and even the world!) have
gathered along the stunning coast of Mendocino Country to join
together for WineSong. These welcomed visitors have participated in
overwhelmingly generous ways to support the local, Mendocino
commitment to maintain its rural hospital.
In 2015, the Mendocino Coast Hospital Foundation Board, in
tandem with local business people and long-time residents,
established an informal group to go local by taking on the work of
the auction chairs. Under the theme of My Mendo, My Hospital,
this dedicated group worked tirelessly to draw on their local, national
and worldwide resources to assemble an array of auction lots that
represent the best of Mendocino and the world beyond all for one
purpose: to create a show-stopping weekend on behalf of the
Mendocino Coast Hospital.
The fruits of their efforts this year brought to guests in part by
Celebrity Cruises will include travel packages to the French Alps,
Barbados, Italy and more. Local getaways hosted by such wineries as
Golden Eye and Handley. Among the wine packages will be a
collection of 52 Anderson Valley Sparkling Wines (one for every
week of the year!), verticals of Bordeaux, Dalle Valle Cabernet,
Chateauneuf du Pape (20 bottles), as well as an abundance of the
areas best Pinot Noir.
Beginning Friday, September 11, Winesong Weekend will kick off
with A Pinot Noir Celebration at Little River Inn produced in
partnership with Anderson Valley Winegrowers Association. On
Saturday, September 12, guests can stroll through the enchanting
Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens while enjoying a spectacular
assortment of wine and food from 100 highly acclaimed wineries and
50 top-notch Northern California restaurants. The glorious wine
celebration continues on into the auction tents for the main
attraction: the live and silent auctions, which is the where much
needed funds are raised for the Mendocino Coast District Hospital.

A Pinot Noir Celebration: Meet the Winemakers Friday, September 11 , 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
This illustrious event features Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley
and tastes of Little River Inns finest culinary offerings. The focus of
this celebration is to provide an opportunity to talk wine with the
winemakers themselves in an intimate setting. Evaluate new wines
and learn how classic Pinot Noir improves with age. Savor these lush
and elegant wines while you meet and mingle with the winemakers at
a seaside setting overlooking the spectacular Pacific Coast.

Wine & Food Tasting in the Gardens Saturday, September 12, 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Each year, in order to offer a wide array of wines, Winesong
invites 100 highly acclaimed world-class wineries to preview their
new vintages. With producers coming from such diverse regions as
Mendocino, Napa, Sonoma, the Central Coast, Sierra Foothills,

Winegrowing Decisions

BY JOSH STEIN

Winegrowing Decisions: If I Could Keep Time in a Barrel


The end of Spring brings heat, and with it, lots of things start to
happen in the cellar. Over the Winter and into early Spring, with
cellars cold, wines in barrel tend to slowly blurb along, the yeasts
gently doing their thing with the last percent or two of residual
sugars or the bacteria finishing up the conversion of malic to lactic
acid, both of which are good for aroma and mouthfeel, but come the
warmth of late Spring, the wines in barrel come alive again because
heat speeds up reactions, just like in your high school chem lab from
ages ago, which means its decision time once again.
For whites, generally Chardonnay but occasionally Sauvignon
Blanc or another oaked variety, this is when the secondary malolactic
fermentation finishes if it has not already, and with the exception of
those who are going for a long time in barrel, this is when the
previous Falls white wines are bottled. Some varieties, like
Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling, generally made in steel the whole time,
would be released immediately, the freshness and vibrancy preserved
for exactly how appealing these wines are when young.
Most producers, however, would bottle oaked whites and then
allow them to age under glass for at least a few months, if not longer.
This is not just about bottle shock from bottling, which does tend to
mute or cause otherwise great wines to taste a bit off for a month or
two. No, the anaerobic conditions actually allow the wines to again
undergo a slow maturation, bringing out more mouthfeel and
complexity through the lack of oxygen. This is why the wines wake
up when openedthey have returned to aerobic conditions,
activating bouquet and flavors through the reintroduction of a lot of
oxygen all at once. An oaky Chard tastes much different 12 months
after harvest, let alone 24 or 36 for that reason.
Red wines, on the other hand, take a parallel but different
trajectory than the whites. Just about all reds spend time in oak, and
Spring will mean time to transfer, or rack, again as every few
months barrels need to be topped up to reduce the oxygen of

headspace created by the angels share, and the best way to address
this is to conslidate into fewer barrels. This causes a gradual
reduction of the overall wine in the cellar as barreled wines are
racked out of their homes and then into either a new barrel or a
tank, some folks deciding to maintain the integrity of each wine lot
while others allowing for a general mixing in a larger tank before
going back to individual barrels again.
Any given red spends 18 to 24 months in this cyclethough
some idiosyncratic producers may keep wine in barrel up to four
yearsand along the way, each racking creates a natural fining effect
as particles fall out of solution and end up in the belly of each barrel.
These lees provide for complexity but also possible microbial
contamination, which is why the monitoring of each wine in barrel
and as it is racked is most important of allwe can taste and smell
problems far quicker through sensory monitoring.
Regardless of which decisions are made, or not, each time the
winegrower chooses to tweak or not, to rack or not, how often, the
logistics of the racking, etc., all leave an impact on the final wine.
While the processes are scientific, measurable, and generally
predictable, the application is where experience and creativity come
to the fore. There is no one right answer, which is what makes
winegrowing so much fun. If we knew all the answers ahead of
time, thered be no point in doing it since wines tend to have minds
of their own. Consider that when you pop the next bottle and
enjoy!

Josh Stein has been in the Napa wine business for more than a dozen years, and, in addition
to being owner/winemaker of the Stein Family Wine Group, which produces a nationally and
internationally distributed portfolio of wine brands and donates a percentage of its sales, he
regularly consults for wineries and organizations throughout the North Bay and Coast via
their subsidiaries, Discrete Wine Support Services and Napa Valley Writing Services.
