Wineology

INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER

BY LEN NAPOLITANO

When is it necessary to decant wine?


In the course of going through a bottle of
red wineor sometimes even in the time it
takes you to finish one glasshave you ever
noticed the wine improving? Perhaps more
aromas are detected, or the finish lasts longer.
Thats because the wine is getting aerated, also
called opening up, and releasing its full
potential in aroma, flavor, and texture.
Decanting is the transfer of a red wine
from its bottle into a new container, either for
the purpose of aeration or to separate wine
from its sediment, or sometimes both. For
aerating purposes, decanting hastens the
mixture of air and wine, a good idea for some
young aromatic red wines that get more
expressive when aerated. Alternatively, you
can also aerate wine by giving it time in the
glass before consuming. The unique shape of
a decanterwide at the bottom, tapering up
to a skinny neckallows more rapid aeration
than simply uncorking the bottle. The
decanter exposes a large surface area of wine
to air and releases more of the wines fragrant
aromas.

After pouring from bottle to decanter, let


the wine stand in the decanter for at least 20
minutes before pouring the wine into glasses.
Keep in mind, old wines lose their aromatic
power quickly, so decant very old wines
minutes, not hours, before serving. If you wait
too long before pouring, you will miss much
of the wines complexity and aromatic detail.
Decanting also separates wine from
sediment that forms over time. Red wines of
significant age, and some young ones, may
show black sediment at the bottom of the
bottle, or clinging to its side. It isnt a fault in
the wine. Its a natural residue from phenolic
compoundstannin molecules combining
with color pigments. Or, crystal-like particles
of sediment, from potassium or calcium
tartrates, might show up in the bottle.
Although, theres no harm in drinking wine
with either sediment, it isnt pleasant. Its
worth taking the extra step to decant in order
to enjoy the wine without the bitterness of
sediment.
To decant older wine that contains

sediment, first allow the bottle to stand


undisturbed for about 24 hours in advance of
opening, if possible, to allow the solids to
settle. Shaking the bottle before uncorking will
stir up sediment and make decanting more
difficult.
To uncork an old vintage, pull the cork
gentlydont twistto avoid breaking it.
Then, pour it slowly into a decanter while
simultaneously observing the wine passing
through the neck of the bottle. As soon as
sediment is visible through the neck,
immediately stop pouring. To make it easier
to see the wine the instant the particles are
visible, place a lit candle under the neck or
hold a flashlight against it, as many
sommeliers do. You will likely end up with a
few ounces of wine and sediment remaining
in the bottle.
If you prefer to decant every red wine,
regardless of age, clarity, or quality, there is
certainly nothing wrong with that. With
complex red wines that feature layers of fruit
and receive extended oak aging, decanting will
ensure that you get everything the wine has to
offer. Its a small step that adds big to the
enjoyment of wine.

Winegrowing Decisions

BY JOSH STEIN

Is a Barrel by Another Name as Oaky?


Were Master Shakespeare to have included a winemaker in one of
his plays, the famous phrase might have become To oak or not to
oak? That is the question, and that would have been a spot on
assessment, for few things bring on more questions, anxieties and
myths than the discussion of oak usage and winemaking. Were they
able to offer comment themselves, I imagine a towering oak offering
something along the lines of Chill out and just enjoy because, as
with many other aspects of winegrowing, the discussions tend to
complicate and obscure the reality from the winemakers
perspective.
For whites, the decisions come down to the degree, if any, of oak
influence. Many white varieties do not benefit from oak exposure,
and even neutral barrels (barrels used long enough that oak
tannin is no longer perceptible in wines stored therein) can cause a
stylistic miscue since barrels play host to Oenococcus oeni, the
bacteria responsible for malic-to-lactic acid conversion. Unless
extraordinary and expensive precautions are taken, most
winemakers would combine separate lots of filtered oaked and
unoaked whites to arrive at a blend with the desired level of oak
influence rather than hoping to arrive at an ideal middle through
chance in the barrel.
Red wines, though, present a bit of a different set of options.
Oak is useful throughout the production process, so some folks will
be using toasted or untoasted oak shavings at the crusher in cooler
harvests to alleviate any underripe green aromatics or flavor
compounds from methoxypyrazines, which contribute cigar or
tobacco at low levels and green pepper or grassy, herb-y notes at
higher levels. Winemakers can ferment in barrels either by
removing the heads and punching down into upright barrels or
through reassembling the barrels and using a rotation system to
keep the cap wet by spinning. They can use larger puncheons to

give more subtle, rounder notes to the wine without giving as


oaky a presence liquid volume to surface area matters a lot; the
larger the vessel, the less the influence, everything else being equal.
Post-pressing, most reds are aged either in barrel or in tanks with
some kind of oak adjunct inserted; as with barrel options so go the
adjuncts: winemakers have choices that range from oak source
(American, French, Hungarian, blends and beyond), to toast level,
to toasted or untoasted heads in barrels, and a slew of options for
creating oak effects sans barrels including beans, cubes, spirals,
blocks, sticks-in-chains to fit into barrel bungholes, and staves of
various shapes and sizes for tank inserts. Think back to your first
visit to a big toystore as a kid; now picture an adult kid and you
know how winemakers feel about their oak options. Its great to
have choices, but there are lots of options, and one is not necessarily
better than another.
At the end of the day, oak is like every other part of the
winemaking process: a series of decisions through which the final
wine is realized, and the key thing winemakers must come to terms
with in order to do their best work is that making a particular
decision, or refusing to make it, will have an impact on that final
bottling either way. Winemakers grow and cook with grapes, and
once the process starts, the vessel in which the fermentation takes
place absolutely has an impact but you must start with the best
ingredients possible. Just like cooking. 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.

Pope Valley Winery


Take a scenic drive through Napa Valley along Pope Valley
Road, nestled on the northern face of Howell Mountain amid
rolling hills, rows of vineyards and open pastures you will find the
quintessential Pope Valley Winery.
As you turn down the drive, at first your eyes gravitate to the
farmhouse, then shift over to the practically untouched
blacksmiths shop and finally they land on the three-story
gravitational flow winery. Take a closer look and you will notice
a few of these late 1800s original buildings are situated over the
quiet little Haus Creek peek even closer through the big
winery doors, passed the rows of barrels to catch a glimpse of
the hand-dug cave!
Pope Valley Winery is an ideal spot to bring a picnic as you
sit amongst rows of Zinfandel while enjoying hand-crafted
wines poured by the friendly tasting room team. With a few
interesting finds such as their Chenin Blanc, Tre Uve (Red
Wine Blend), Zinfandel Port, and other unique blends -your
palate will surely be delighted. Sip on a velvety glass of
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Sangiovese as you play a fun
game of bocce. Enjoy a refreshing and crisp tasting of Chenin
Blanc, Sangiovese Ros, or a flute of bubbles as you are taken
on a tour of the winery grounds.

The Etruscans were an ancient civilization
of people who lived in the modern-day
Tuscany area of Italy, thriving from the 9th to
the1st centuries BCE. Their influence on
ancient Roman and European culture was
profound. The Romans inherited many
cultural and artistic traditions from the
Etruscans, such as temple design, religious
rituals, winemaking, and gathering friends
and family for large, outdoor banquets.
Join us for a fascinating look at the
Etruscan culture with one of the most
knowledgeable experts in the field, Lisa
Pieraccini. Pieraccini is the project director
for the Del Chiaro Center for Ancient Italian
Studies at UC Berkeley. She lived in Rome
for many years where she taught and
conducted research in Rome and at the
Etruscan site of Cerveteri. Her research
interests and publications include the
consumption of food and wine (Etruscan
foodways with particular interest in rituals),
Etruscan funerary customs, craft
connectivity, Etruscan and Roman wall

painting and the reception of the Etruscans


and Romans in the 18th and 19th centuries.
She is co-editor of a new book series entitled
Cities of the Etruscans, published by the
University of Texas Press; the first book,
Caere, is due out this fall.

Perfect Pairs
Judds Hill Founders Art Cabernet with Strip Steak and Wild Mushrooms
The Napa Valley has been home to Judds
Hill Winery since the 1970s. This small
family owned winery continues to produce
world-class signature wines that are fruitdriven and concentrated while remaining
well balanced and food-friendly.
In keeping with their quality over
quantity philosophy, they produce less than
3,000 cases per year in their certified Napa
Valley Green Winery. The use of
environmentally efficient drainage, solar

lighting and an aggressive recycling and


composting program are a few ways that the
winery uses smart design to make a
difference.
This marriage of family, environmental
responsibility, masterful winemaking and a
splash of fun quirkiness define Judds Hill
Winery. Their motto is Having a good time
making great wine with family and
everyone who visits experiences their warm
hospitality.

What many people dont know is that the


Judds Hill Winerys Founder, Art Finkelstein
was as passionate about cooking as he was
about crafting great wines and his passion
lives on through his family.
The Finkelstein family invites you to
experience their passion for fine food and
wine pairing with their classic 2010
Founders Art Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon,
paired with New York Strip Steak with
Creamy Wild Mushrooms.

New York Strip Steak with Creamy Wild Mushrooms


Pairing for Judds Hill 2010 Founders Art Cabernet Sauvignon
Provided by Judds Hill Winery
INGREDIENTS
2 grass-fed New York strip steaks (approx. 1 thick)
4 sprigs of fresh thyme, leafs pulled
Coarse sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
Grape seed oil
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp shallots, minced
6 oz wild mushrooms (hen-of-the-woods, oysters, etc) carefully sliced
2 tbsp heavy cream
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400 F
Pat steaks dry, rub with 1 tsp of grape seed oil, and sprinkle both sides with thyme,
sea salt, and black pepper. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
In the meantime, heat large saut pan over medium-high heat. Melt butter; add
shallots and saut for 2-3 minutes. Add mushrooms to pan and season with salt
and pepper; cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium; add
cream and stir with wooden spoon, making sure to scrap any bits from the bottom
of the pan. Add lemon juice and adjust seasoning, if needed. Set aside.
Heat large heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high-high heat. Add a drizzle of
grape seed oil and swirl to cover bottom of the skillet. Add sprigs of thyme. Sear
steaks on one side for about 5 minutes*. Turn steaks and immediately transfer to
oven. Roast for 12-15 minutes (or until internal temperature reaches 135 for
medium rare). Remove steaks from oven and let rest on a board for 3-4 minutes.
Slice and serve topped with creamy wild mushrooms.
*Its best to add large pieces of chopped onion to the skillet if too much surface
area is exposed (i.e. not covered by the steak). This prevents the pan from burning
and adds a great flavor to the steaks.

Conn Creek Winery


Napas Diversity is Highlighed in Conn Creek Winerys Cabernet Sauvignons
There are two philosophies to winemaking:
one is continuity and the other is the sense of
place, says Conn Creek winemaker Mike
McGrath. Its become the two tenets by which
McGrath crafts Conn Creeks wines: an
exploration of the depth and complexity of
Cabernet Sauvignon and an examination of the
nuances of terroir within Napa Valley. These
differing perspectives are clearly reflected in his
winesfrom the Napa Valley Collection
(continuity), to the AVA Series (terroir), and
finally to Conn Creeks flagship wine
Anthology, where the two philosophies meet. In
the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, McGrath
focuses on the continuity of Cab and
developing a wine that demonstrates the great
hallmarks of the varietal. Conn Creeks AVA
Series Cabernet Sauvignons are terroir-driven,
featuring fruit from a single vineyard within an
appellation to show the unique characteristics,
32

or personality as McGrath calls it, of the site.


And finally, the spice rack of characteristics
provided by these diverse appellations are
layered together in Conn Creeks Anthology,
aptly named for a collection of artistic works.
There are few places in Napa Valley where
one can taste the diversity of Cabernet
Sauvignon in a single location. At Conn Creeks
tasting room, visitors have an opportunity to do
just that. In the winerys AVA Series tasting ($25
per person), guests can taste through five
different 2012 Cabernet Sauvignons from
vineyard sites throughout the Valley, including
Mt. Veeder, Chiles Valley, St. Helena, Diamond
Mountain and Calistoga. Add in a vertical
tastingsuch as the 2011 AVA Series Vertical
Tasting in the winerys private Anthology Salon
($45 per person)and you can peer back
across the years and taste the evolution of that
character from year to year. Its a unique tasting

experience that will inform the remainder of any visit to the


Valley.
Tasting Conn Creeks wines isnt the only way to explore
the diversity of Napa terroir. With Conn Creeks Barrel
Blending Experience ($125 per person), you can try your
own hand at crafting wine. Following a barrel tasting of
Cabernet Sauvignon from nearly all of Napa Valleys
appellations, guests blend any combination of the Cabernets
they like to create their own personalized wine. They can then
adjust to perfection by adding nuances from other Bordeaux
varietals like Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit
Verdot. The personalized blend is then bottled, hand-corked
and labeled on-site for a truly one-of-a-kind souvenir. Like
crafting a delicious meal, it just tastes different when youve
made it with your own hands.
Every vintage is a journey, McGrath says. At Conn Creek
Winery, you can experience that journey firsthand and maybe
even walk a few steps yourself.

Rombauer Vineyards
Behind-the-scenes Cave Tours winds through 1,900 linear feet underground
Rombauer Vineyards has added a new feature to its options for visitors to the
winery a Cave Tour & Tasting. Guests will begin the new Cave Tour & Tasting
on the hilltop winerys porch, with its dramatic views of Napa Valley, before
strolling through scenic gardens and entering the caves through the picturesque,
barrel-shaped door. The tour continues through the 1,900 linear feet of caves,
where guests stroll through neatly stacked rows of small oak barrels while their
guide explains why the cave atmosphere is especially suited for the production of
artisanal, small-production wines.
Tours are offered by appointment at 11:00 a.m. daily for $60 per person. A
second daily tour, at 2 p.m., will be added in October. The Cave Tour & Tasting is
a walking tour lasting about 90 minutes and featuring six wines. Cave
temperature averages around 62 degrees F, with 80%-90% humidity; guests are
encouraged to bring sweaters or light jackets. Reservations can be made by
calling (707) 963-6606 or (800) 622-2206 or visiting the winerys website:

of our most limited-production wines in the caves where
theyre aged.
In addition to being an ideal environment for aging
wine, the caves, built from 1996 to 1998, has provided a
unique storage solution, recalls Riedel, one of Rombauers
longest-tenured employees. The winerys location on top of
a hill limited opportunities to expand our production and
storage facilities above ground. Going underground became
the best option.
Rombauers other guest experiences include guided
tastings in the Tasting Room and wines by the glass,
available to be enjoyed on the winerys porch or in its
gardens. Reservations are required. The Tasting Room is
open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. except on major holidays.

Rombauer Vineyards
Rombauer Vineyards was founded in 1980 in St. Helena
by Koerner and Joan Rombauer, who built their three-level
winery into a hillside to take advantage of the natural
cooling influences. Caves were added to the property in the
1990s, and today, state-of-the-art equipment includes three
optical sorters, basket presses and peristaltic pumps, which
ensure gentle handling of the wine every step of the way.
The winery has one of the largest red wine barrel
fermentation programs in Napa Valley. Rombauer owns and
sustainably farms 350 acres of vineyards in St. Helena,
Carneros, Atlas Peak, Calistoga and the Sierra Foothills as
well as purchases grapes through long-term relationships
with growers in these appellations.
Koerner Rombauers great-aunt Irma Rombauer was the
author of the landmark cookbook The Joy of Cooking. The
winery maintains a close relationship with Irmas
descendants, the Becker family, who have continued The Joy
of Cooking legacy with regular updates. The Beckers provide
recipes and food pairings for Rombauer wines and visit the
winery each July as part of the annual Joy of Wine event
celebrating the release of the newest vintage of Rombauers
iconic Carneros Chardonnay.
The winerys current nationally distributed wines are
2015 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc, 2015 Carneros
Chardonnay, 2013 Carneros Merlot, 2014 Napa Valley
Cabernet Sauvignon, 2012 Diamond Selection Cabernet
Sauvignon and 2014 Rombauer Zinfandel. In addition,
Rombauer Vineyards produces several limited-production

palate unfolds with black cherry, raspberry and hints of cola spice. It
exhibits smooth, soft tannins and great balance. This wine will age
gracefully over the next six to twelve years. Pair this with fettuccine
alfredo. [225 cases; four-time medal winner: Grand Harvest Awards,
American Fine Wine Competition, SF Chronicle Wine Competition
and San Francisco International Wine Competition]
2014 Tempranillo, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley New
release! This wine opens with aromas of grilled plum, blackberry,
currants, sun-dried tomatoes, with hints of black pepper, and
caramel. Big, mouth filling notes of blackberry, mocha, vanilla and
sandalwood are all wrapped with soft tannins and a long finish. Its
built to age and soften over the next five to ten years. This
Tempranillo should pair great with all manners of grilled and
barbecued meats.
[88 cases; three-time medal winner:
Dan Bergers International, International Womens Competition
and SF International Wine Competition]
2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley Estate, Calistoga
Aromas unfold with notes of cassis, black licorice, cedar, plum,
savory herbs and black pepper. A harmonious palate opens with
bright acidity, with notes of plum, cherry, charred blackberries,
evolving around soft tannins and a lingering finish. This wine is very
cellar-worthy! It will pair nicely with roasted lamb and braised beef
dishes.
[205 cases; four-time medal winner: American Fine Wine
Competition, Grand Harvest Awards, SF Chronicle Wine Competition
and SF International Wine Competition]
2014 Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley, Calistoga This
wine opens with pronounced aromatics of peach and orange
blossoms, fresh wild flower honey, ripe apple and quince with
touches of maple syrup and vanilla. It pairs wonderfully with
candied nuts and semi-hard cheeses. [310 cases; four-medal winner:
International Womens Wine Competition,
Grand Harvest Awards and American Fine Wine Competition]
2014 Chardonnay, Napa Valley, Carneros, Truchard Vineyard
This one opens with aromas of green apple, peach and touches of
lemon grass. Barrel fermented and aged for eight months in neutral
French oak. It exhibits a creamy palate and will pair easily with many
foods, but shines with risotto and grilled white fish.
[168 cases;
double gold, SF Chronicle Competition; two more medals:
American Fine Wine and Grand Harvest Competition]

2013 Grenache, Sonoma Coast Classic Grenache aromas of dried


cherry, granite, hints of black pepper and black licorice are present.
The palate opens with soft tannins, caramel, figs and dried berries
with a lingering finish. Pair this wine with traditional roast turkey
and as well as hearty winter soups.
[133 cases, three-time medal winner: Grand Harvest,
American Fine Wine and North Coast Wine Competition]
While not every wine is submitted to every competition, it is an
honor to report that each wine sent in, came home with a medal,
says Emilio Tedeschi, General Manager & fourth generation Tedeschi.
We make our wines in an old-world style and appreciate the
recognition from our peers in both the international and domestic
competitions we entered.
The Tedeschi Family Winery is a very small, family-owned winery
producing fewer than 2,000 cases a year in the style of the oldworld. It is located at 2779 Grant Street, Calistoga, CA 94515, just a
half a mile south of Old Faithful Geyser. Visitors are invited to the
winery daily by appointment from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for tasting.
There is no commercial signage, so look for the address (2779 Grant
St) and a big barrel to enjoy the winerys private setting & picnic
area! For more information, call (707) 501-0668 or visit the website
at www.TedeschiFamilyWinery.com. Find them on Facebook or

The Exploration of Cabernet and Food Not What Youd Expect


Napa Valley. The mere name conjures
images of meticulously manicured vineyards,
vibrant thriving gardens and of course, world
class Cabernet Sauvignon. This 30-mile long,
five-mile wide stretch of dusty earth is home
to some of the most celebrated Cabernet
vineyards in the world. One need but stand
in front of the Oakville Grocery and toss a
stone in any direction to find a new awardwinning Cab Sauv to sample.
However, what if instead of simply tasting
a Cabernet, you wanted to understand it?

What if you wanted to plumb the depths of


its complexities? To have its mysteries laid out
in front of you like a marauders map. To have
the kind of tasting experience that will alter
your perception of not just the wine itself,
but of why Napa Valley is such a unique and
well heeled viticultural area? To answer these
questions you need not look further than the
iconic Sequoia Grove winery, and their A
Taste For Cabernet experiencea uniquely
educational seated tasting led by one of Napa

along with an in-depth exploration of their various vineyard sites and


terroir. It is here that one truly begins to understand and appreciate
the astonishing range and complexities of Cabernet, and how greatly
the finished wine is affected by geography, climate and wait for it
even food.
Through descriptive slides and pictures, actual soil samples and
specifically crafted food components to illustrate the dos and
donts of food and wine pairing, Deans unpretentious demeanor
and wealth of knowledge on this subject allow you to sit back and
relax in Sequoia Groves beautiful private room and learn how your
taste buds and olfactory senses really work. During the tasting, youll
find out why the flavors hof sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami can
either be a wines best friend, or its worst enemy. Youll also come to
understand how the differing percentages of cacao interact with the
phenolic compounds in a Cabernet when pairing the two (thats a
really fancy way of saying youll get to explore wine with chocolate).
Deans passion is contagious and nearly impossible not to get
swept up in. You will leave the experience with both a newfound

Trentadue Winery

FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED SINCE 1969

1
An elegant and intimate
experience

Best kept secret is out!


Enjoy award-winning bubbly, wines and port, plus
our beautiful picnic grounds with incredible views.

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
R
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.
K
Behind
a small tasting bar, a knowledgeable employee will pour a
flight of Trentadues famous ports or estate varietals. On a nice day, a
glass of the Trentadue Rosato would feel very refreshing as you relax
in one of the picturesque courtyards.

Shop and Taste in Luxury on the Square in Healdsburg


You may have noticed upon visiting
downtown Healdsburg the many tasting
rooms located around the Town Square.
One not to be missed is Ferrari-Caranos
Seasons of the Vineyard Wine Shop,
which blends a luxury, novelty shopping
experience with wine tastings, glasses
and bottles from its famed winery in
Dry Creek Valley as well as Lazy Creek
Vineyards in Anderson Valley.
Located on the east side of the Square
on Plaza Street, Seasons of the Vineyards
has been around for two decades, the passion project of Rhonda Carano, owner with her
husband, Don Carano, of the winery. The shop launched as a boutique, offering local art and
interesting gifts. Seven years ago, it began selling Ferrari-Carano and Lazy Creek Vineyards wines.
Now, visitors can purchase a glass of their favorite wine and a cheese plate and take it out to the
Square or hang out at the wine bar in the shop.
The minutes will slip away as you peruse the shelves at Seasons of the Vineyard. From its
collection of Mariposa recycled aluminum tableware, Vietri Italian tableware and Cantaria
Portuguese dinnerware to artisan olive oils, delicate jewelry and artistic vases, goblets and
platters, it seems unlikely any visitor would walk away from the shop empty handed.
Seasons of the Vineyard Wine Shop is open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and is located
at 113 Plaza Street, Healdsburg. For more information, call (707) 431-2222 or visit the website at

WALT
Wines
1,000 Miles of Pinot Noir
When in Sonoma, visitors who wish to experience some of the
best Pinot Noir in wine country should not miss WALT Wines. The
winery specializes in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay crafted with grapes
sourced from the Pacific Coasts most distinctive vineyard sites
spanning a distance of 1000 miles. These regions include the Sta. Rita
Hills, Sonoma County, Anderson Valley, the Willamette Valley and the
Central Coast.

Root 101: A Single Vineyard Exploration


One of the most popular tastings at WALT is the new Root 101.
This premiere Pinot Noir tasting is dedicated to showcasing distinct
vineyard voices that demonstrate defined character and personality,
from land to table. This experience will offer guests an unparalleled,
educational opportunity to isolate the quality and variety of distinct
wines from regional Pinot Noir appellations. The tasting flight
includes five single vineyard wines sourced from appellations in the
WALT portfolio. Each wine is paired with a selection of seasonal,

Pinot-centric small bites prepared by the famous Sonoma eatery, Girl


& The Fig. Root 101 is offered daily at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. and
reservations are required in advance. This educational and tasty
experience is $60 per person or $40 per person for club members..

Hospitality Reigns at the House of Pinot


A visit to the WALT tasting room combines the warmth of a home
with the inspiration of an art gallery. Steeped in Sonoma history and
charm, the intimate venue is located just off the northwest corner of
the Sonoma Plaza and includes a tasting bar, small tables throughout
and a lovely garden in back featuring massive old trees.
WALT Wines is open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and is located
at 380 First St. West in Sonoma. For more information, call (707)

Diane and Dennis Mitchell, Tasting Room Managers

Stop and Stay a While at Eric Ross Winery


On the edge of quaint Glen Ellen, Eric Ross Winery is an
unassuming gem to spend some time tasting great wine while
chatting it up with the tasting room staff, with whom a conversation
can go any which way.
It might even turn to the wine, which speaks for itself. But if you
want to know about where it comes from and the care that
winemaker and owner Eric Luse puts into each vintage, you will need
to look around the tasting room at the lush photos adorning the
walls.

For the Love of It


Luse, a former photographer for the San Francisco Chronicle,
spreads his two loves around the room. His photos, blown up to great
proportion, tell the stories of his grapes from vineyards around the
region. The photos clearly relate the care and passion Luse holds for
what he makes.
He has good rapport with the growers, said Dennis Mitchell, one
end of the tasting room duo with his wife, Diane Mitchell. Eric is
very hands on.
Luse visits the vineyards from which he sources his grapes, and is
involved in every aspect of the process, from farming to tasting. He
works in the tasting room on Mondays and Tuesdays.
The Mitchells, who have been married for 43 years, hold down the
fort the rest of the days, and they present a welcoming environment
where visitors can learn about the wine and all its backstory.
58

No Pushing Allowed
The tasting room was once Jack London Bookstore, and before
that a tractor shed. The winery moved there in 2006 from its
operation across the street, a space it shared with the old Olive and
Vine restaurant.
Its quaint and quiet, the Mitchells contend. People like the
coziness, said Diane. We dont push the wine, wine should sell itself.
For a $15 tasting fee, visitors can choose five wines from the menu.
Some of the menus highlights, and the wines that gain a following,
include the Viognier, the Pinot Noir and the Tempranillo, which pairs
very well with food.
Many visitors go down the menu and like most of what they taste,
so opt to join their wine club. And there they stay. Our wine club
members are faithful, said Diane.
The Rooster Club, as it is called, offers members three bottles every
three months at a 20-percent discount. Members also receive special
offers and invitations to events, a newsletter and recipes.
So whether youre just passing through Sonoma Valley or a local
looking for a great place to taste, a stop at Eric Ross promises an
unforgettable wine country experience.

MENDOCINO WINES ARE GOLDEN


38th Annual Mendocino County Fair Wine Competition Awards
The Mendocino wine community gathered last month to
celebrate the results of the 38th Annual Mendocino County Fair
Wine Competition, the longest continuous running regional wine
competition in California. This year, the competition was
dedicated to a very special friend and frequent competition judge,
Ben Pearson, wine buyer for Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa, who
passed away suddenly in July of this year. Ben was beloved by all,
for his warmth, wit, wisdom and kindness, and will be missed by
all who knew him.
This year, there were 240 wine entries from 45 wineries. An
unprecedented number of medals were awarded, with 60 Gold
Medals and 100 Silver Medals. New this year were three new Best
of Show Awards: Sparkling, Ros and Dessert wines in addition to
Best of Show Red and Best of Show White wines.
Special emcee for the evenings awards ceremony at Mendocino
College was Senator Mike McGuire with Assemblyman Jim Wood
handing out the Best of Show award plaques. Senator Mike
McGuire led a spirited impromptu fund-raising effort for the
Mendocino College Foundation and over $3000 was raised to
support scholarships in viticulture from the generous
winegrowing community in attendance.
Best of Show Awards, chosen from Best of Class winners are:
Best of Show Sparkling 2007 Scharffenberger Cellars Blanc de
Blanc, Best of Show White 2015 Handley Cellars Pinot Gris, Best
of Show Ros 2015 Seebass Family Wines Ros of Grenache,
Fantasie, Best of Show Red 2013 Graziano Carignane, and Best
of Show Dessert 2011 McFadden Farm Late Harvest Riesling.
Judge Deborah Park Wong noted Its a thrill to see a lesserknown varietal shine the way the Graziano 2013 Carignane did in
this years competition. Sourced from the Castanon Ranch in the
Redwood Valley AVA, winemaker Greg Graziano captured the very
essence of these 60-year-old vines and framed their beauty in
neutral oak.
The largest flight of the competition was 2013 Pinot Noir. Ellen
Landis was one of five judges tasked with this task: Clearly 2013
was a remarkable vintage for Pinot Noir in Mendocino County, a
region with climate ideally suited for this variety. Our flight of
twenty-eight 2013 Pinot Noir entries was impressive, as evidenced
by our scores (30% receiving gold medals). The wines displayed
gorgeous depth of flavors, precise balance, elegance and plenty of
length. Among those I have tasted, the 2014 and 2015 vintages are
also noteworthy. Hats off to the talented Mendocino County
grape growers and winemakers for crafting world class Pinot
Noir.
This years distinguished judges were: Randy Caparoso,
Follow us on Twitter @WineCountryTW

Deborah Parker Wong, Mark Bowery, John Sverko, Laurie Daniel,


Mike Dunne, Chris Sawyer, Ziggy Eschliman, Laura Ness, Greg
Richtarek, Madeleine de Jean, Debra Del Fiorentino, Ron Washam
and Ellen Landis.
Returning wine judge Laura Ness had this to say about the
competition: Every year, the quality of the wines continues to
impress, and the diversity of expression never ceases to delight!
Both the Best of Show White and Red were clear standouts, despite
the stiff competition. Intensely juicy, peachy and mouthwatering,
the Handley Pinot Gris is like drinking summer, and the
Carignanes forthright spice and powerful fruit make it an allaround crowd pleaser. How fun to have both Anderson Valley and
Redwood Valley so well and justly represented!

Competition Awards are available online at

Good to Know Before Heading to the Tasting Room


Do not be intimidated for any reason. That is rule number one
(and there are very few real rules after that). 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.
Here are some tips that have proven to be helpful and are designed to help make the sensory adventure of wine tasting 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. 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.
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.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.

If you plan to take wine home with you, either in the car or on
a plane, buy a cardboard box with Styrofoam wine inserts. Fill it
during the day and this keeps wine from rolling around in the
trunk.
Check out the smaller wineries. It is a revelation.
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.
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 to rent anything from a Town Car or restored Packard convertible to stretch limos and a 20-passenger bus.
All have drivers that will stow your wine for you and the local companies know the area. Tell the transportation company what you
have in mind and listen to their advice. They know the territory
and the people and personalities.
Know your limits. If you get close to it let others taste and you
can listen. It beats ending the day in a blur, and if need be calling
a taxi is cheaper than the alternative.
And if at a seated tasting, dont be afraid to leave a gratuity. Its
more than worth the five or ten dollars to get wisdom and wine
and a great time.
By Charles Neave

Do the Math
One of the questions most asked when it comes to wine is how much of this does it take to make that, and so on. We wont pretend that its simple, but here are some industry statistics that will give a pretty good
answer to that query. As with anything agricultural, of course, they are all based on countless variables when it comes to acre yields, but this is a good starting point. The rest of the information varies little if at all.

A single bottle contains:


750 ml of wine which is 25.6 ounces made
from about 2.4 pounds of grapes (39 oz.) and
is enough for four or maybe five glasses.

One standard oak barrel of wine holds:


295 bottles of wine (or 59 gallons)
made from 740 pounds of grapes
which works out to almost
but not precisely 24 cases of wine.

A case of wine includes:


a dozen 750 ml bottles
(or 24 half bottles)
or 307.2 ounces total, which
comes from 30 pounds of grapes.

An acre of vineyard land can give the grower:


five tons of grapes (though it is also less, depending on a variety of
farming and winemaking practices, and on the varietal and the vineyard
location) which will give you 797 gallons of juice (or thirteen-and-a-half
barrels) which is pretty close to four thousand bottles of wine.
