Wineology INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER
Why do wineglasses come in a variety of shapes?
There is an art and science to designing the proper wineglass.
When served at the proper temperature, the best qualities of a wine
will come forward when served in a glass that is designed to bring out
the best in that particular wine. I learned this firsthand from a demon-
stration by Riedel Glass, an Austrian glass manufacturer widely
acknowledged to be one of, if not the world’s leading wineglass
producers.
Their philosophy is simple. The content of the glass determines the
shape. And for each wine style, from light, acidic white wines to full-
bodied reds with high alcohol levels, and everything in between,
Riedel has a wineglass to fit it.
The difference between tasting wine from an inappropriate glass
and one designed for that particular wine is an eye-opening experi-
ence. From the moment you stick your nose inside the glass, to
savoring the wine’s finish, the right wineglass will help define the true
aroma and flavors of the wine.
There is a specific bowl shape for each type of wineglass:
Sparkling Wines: Tall, narrow, glass allows the wine’s bubbles to
form at the bottom and rise to the top better than in a wider, shallower
glass. The tall shape also celebrates the richness of the sparkler on the
palate.
White Wines: Shorter than a Champagne glass, with a medium
diameter bowl. This combination helps to release a fruity, acidic white
wine’s aroma quickly and gets your sense of smell working immedi-
ately. Use this type of glass for riesling, a French Chablis, Pinot Grigio
and Sauvignon Blanc. A more robust white wine, such as a full-bodied
Chardonnay or Viognier, will be better served in a glass with a slightly
larger diameter bowl, as this helps the wine breathe, releasing its full
aromas.
Red Wines: A glass for light to medium bodied red wines, like
10
by Len Napolitano
Pinot Noir, is one with a slightly wider bowl than that for white wine,
and with a rim that delivers the wine into the palate with precision.
This type of glass emphasizes the fruit flavors of the wine as much as
its aromas. Some will have a taller than average bowl to help direct the
wine to the tip of the tongue as it enters the mouth, where its fruiti-
ness will be detected first. The aim here is to balance the flavor and
texture of the wine as the initial sensations of the wine are experi-
enced. Heavier red wines, like Cabernet Sauvignon need the largest
bowl of all in order to mix as much wine as possible with air and allow
you to stick your nose inside the glass to fully appreciate the wine’s
bouquet. This shape will bring out the most in these big red wines,
which, in general, tend to have more complexity and more intense
flavors than other wines.
Dessert Wines: Because dessert wines are meant for sipping very
small quantities at a time, these glasses will have very small bowls. In
addition, the shape allows the wine to flow over the tip of the tongue
and along its sides to experience the full effect of the wine’s rich
flavors. This glass is good when drinking sweet white wines like
Sauternes or late harvest Riesling. When drinking Sherry and Port
wines, the strong aroma coming from the higher alcohol levels of these
wines must be tamed, and not permitted to overpower the rest of the
wine’s bouquet. Thus, the bowl for these wines is slightly tapered to
prevent you from putting your nose inside the glass and getting too
much of the vapors from the alcohol.

including fifty Napa selections and 40 from Sonoma County. When he first sought
out buying the initial inventory, “I enlisted a local farmer buddy and his 15-foot
box van and off we went all over California hunting down the deals. I tried to seek
out the small producers who didn’t have distributors so I could pass the savings
on to my customers.” And Miller did just that. His store is stocked with high-
quality juice all under $25 and all are unique. Most labels in the shop are unrec-
ognizable – but all pass the same test; everything passes over Miller’s lips before
he makes a buy. “If I don’t love it, I don’t buy it, period. Sometimes I will taste
over a hundred wines in one day, load up the truck and haul it up to Calistoga,
unload at the store, and maybe I will crawl in bed by 3 a.m. Needless to say my
buddy bowed out of the deal after their second trip. I initially recruited him on a
‘hey lets go wine tasting in Santa Barbara’ until he realized how much work it
entailed. Poor guy, he had to be at the farm at 5 in the morning.”

Tasting Room of the Week:
GARRÉ WINERY
By Les Mahler
Garré Winery has hired a new wine tasting
room and club member manager. And from
early indications, there will be more events
and special deals for wine lovers and roman-
tics.
Laura Werter, who comes over from event
and wedding coordinator at Garré Winery,
said this year the winery is planning more
events to bring wine enthusiasts to the
winery; of course, it’s known to wine enthusi-
asts as the place to play bocce ball.
Werter isn’t a novice to winemaking.
“I’ve been making wine since I was seven
years old,” she said. She helped her father
make wine and now she’s helping Garré’s wine-
maker, Wayne Re. “This was more of a fit.”
If the early events of 2010 at Garre Winery
are any indication of what’s to come, Werter
holds the key to a fun-filled and spectacular
year.
Garré will host its annual barrel tasting,
from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. This event, which
is always popular, will be held in the tasting
room March 20 and 21.
The barrel tasting is part of the annual
barrel tasting happening at Livermore valley
wineries.
18
For April, Garré Winery has Easter all
locked up with its annual Easter brunch and
Easter egg hunt. Details are still being worked
out, Werter said. Reservations are required.
And also in April, Garre Winery will host a
food and wine pairing but details are still
being worked out, Werter said.
Besides the early spring events, Garre also
released a 2007 Cabernet Franc and 2007
Merlot. And recenty, the winery bottled a
2007 Syrah and Reserve Syrah. There also
have been specials offered recently, including
a 2007 Sauvignon Blanc for $7 per bottle and
a two-pack deal on 2005 and 2006 Cabernet;
“The special price is $35,” according to
Werter.
www.WineCountryThisWeek.com
Wednesday nights beginning May 27
Garré will feature Bocce Ball and Italian
Dinner Night. Join them for an evening of
bocce ball and regional Italian cooking at
Garré Winery. The group play bocce ball
night will include three glasses of complimen-
tary vineyard estate wine, an Italian dinner
served on the café courtyard and bocce ball
instruction. Come alone or bring a group. All
skill levels welcome. “Join us in the deboc-
cery!” Reservations are required; $38.95 per
person.
Friday Night Dinners return beginning
June 12. Come to Garré Café for dinner and
live music every Friday night from 6 to 9 p.m.
beginning June 12. Reservations recom-
mended.
• June 12th - Tommy Jack Trio
• June 19th - Reinhardt Swing
• June 26th - Sinister Blue
With the next four months already
planned, wine enthusiasts can expect a boun-
tiful and abundant year of events at Garré
thanks to Werter.
Garré Winery is located at 7986 Tesla
Road, Livermore. For more informationa, call

ARGER-MARTUCCI
by Michelle J. Baker
What wine aficionado hasn’t had a vision
float through at least one daydream that goes
something like this: you find a kindred spirit
in wine, team up to buy an old winery in the
heart of Napa Valley as well as some choice
vineyard property, hang a shingle with your
two names and open your doors to offer great
wines to wine aficionados like you.
That’s pretty much the short story of a long
journey for two good friends from Reno,
Nevada – Rich Martucci and Dr. Kosta Arger
– who first met in a local wine tasting group
in the early 1990s. Their paths to that day
couldn’t have been more different. Kosta
Arger was born in Tacoma, Washington, to a
traditional Greek family where his father and
uncles made wine at home. Arger first
became interested in wine during college. He
and his new bride, Julie, spent their honey-
moon in Napa Valley, where a serendipitous
meeting with Joe Heitz of Heitz Vineyards
ended in Arger joining Heitz Vineyards for
the 1976 crush. Arger went on to become a
cardiologist and, with the encouragement of
20
VINEYARDS
Joe Heitz, a skilled home winemaker.
Rich Martucci grew up a poor kid in the
Bronx, New York, and paid his own way
through college with three part-time jobs.
Martucci, an accountant by training, moved
to Reno for a job at a bank. He eventually
started his own mortgage company and then
purchased a struggling bank that he built into
a successful multi-branch community bank.
After Arger and Martucci met at the tasting
group, they became fast friends. Their two
families, Rich and Carol Martucci, Kosta and
Julie Arger, plus a combined five kids, began
to socialize frequently, spending many week-
ends and holidays together. Kosta Arger, now
Dr. Arger, had always dreamed of coming
back to Napa Valley to start a winery. When
Rich Martucci sold his bank in 1998, it was a
perfect time for the two friends to team up to
start the winery.
Eleven harvests in, the Arger-Martucci
partnership is going strong. The two men,
really the two families, make the perfect busi-
ness team. Rich Martucci, the “numbers” guy,
handles the business end of the business,
while Dr. Arger handles the winemaking end
www.WineCountryThisWeek.com
of the business. Dr. Arger still has a full-time
cardiology practice in Reno, but spends
weekends, holidays and harvest season in
Napa Valley making the wine. Two of the kids
are also involved with the winery full-time;
Anthony Arger handles all of the outside sales
and marketing operations, and Vince
Martucci is assistant winemaker and also
oversees the tasting room.
Arger-Martucci makes just 5,000 cases of
wine per year, enough for their wine club,
tasting room, and a little bit left over for
specialty wine shops and restaurants in a few
states. The winery’s flagship wine is Odyssey,
a Bordeaux-style blend comprised of
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot
and Petit Verdot. The current release, 2004,
won a Double-Gold medal and Best of Class
at the 2009 California State Fair. Where
there’s an Odyssey there should also be an
Iliad, and now there is – a white blend made
up of Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Gewurz-
traminer and Muscat that has quickly become
Arger-Martucci’s best-selling wine. Cleverly,
the winery will soon release a Homer Collec-
tion featuring the Odyssey and Iliad in a
 WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINERY FEATURE

wooden wine box.

Arger-Martucci also produces
award-winning Syrah, Petite
Syrah, Cabernet Franc and of
course, Cabernet Sauvignon.
The winery’s motto, according to
Vince Martucci, is “we release no
wine before it’s time,” and true to
that motto the winery’s current
release reds are mostly 2004 and
2005. With the extra bottle time,
the wines have softened some
and while they can certainly be
laid down longer, they are ready
to be enjoyed now. There’s also a
little stickie at Arger-Martucci, a
true Sauternes style late harvest
wine called Dulcinea made only
in years where the noble rot
Botrytis sets in just right.
The Argers and Martuccis
purchased the old Villa Helena
winery in St. Helena as their
winery home. They’ve made the
place feel like home for visitors,
too. The tasting room, tucked
behind the winery lab, is light
and bright with a beautiful view
of the western bench of Napa
Valley. There’s a sweet little picnic
area with a gazebo outside, and
on nice days guests can sit out
there to enjoy a tasting and the
view.
After your tasting, don’t forget
to ask about the Arger-Martucci
Wine Club, one of the best deals
in the Napa Valley featuring four
bottles of wine three times per
year at just $110 per shipment
(plus the cost of shipping).
Visit Arger-Martucci Vine-
yards at 1455 Inglewood Avenue
in St. Helena, just south of Dean
and Deluca. The tasting room is
open daily from 10 a.m. until
5 p.m. daily. Visit the Arger-
Martucci website for an up-to-
date list of the winery’s events at

The Tasting Room Rutherford Hill Winery

by Charles Neave
They say that “Life looks better from Rutherford Hill.” But then how
could it not? Perched on a hilltop looking out over the entire southern
half of the Napa Valley, surrounded by a grove of olive trees and far
above the road and, for that matter, from what passes for reality. No
doubt the setting inspired the film crew recently when the winery was
selected to host its Emmy and James Beard award-winning Top Chef
Season Six finale shows.
The winery, founded in 1972, was a pioneer in the development of
California Merlot. The winery’s original grape growers studied the
region’s geography of the region then capitalized on its climate and soil
conditions that fortuitously resembled those of Pomerol, the Merlot-
growing region of Bordeaux. The Terlato family purchased the winery
in 1996, and to this day, Merlot remains the flagship wine here, with The wines you will find at Rutherford Hill are primarily
75 percent of the winery’s production dedicated to this varietal. Chardonnay, Merlot (and a Merlot Reserve), Cabernet Sauvignon and
a refreshing Rosé. Also available at the winery, in limited quantities, are
small lots of Sauvignon Blanc, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Syrah and
Sangiovese. Plus the Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc
and a luscious Zinfandel Port. Then add to that the Winemaker’s
Blend, which utilizes Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet and Petit
Verdot grapes to create a rich, elegant and age-worthy wine.
You can sample these wines at their four-sided wood bar in the
winery near the entrance to the caves themselves. These caves are
considered one of the most extensive systems in the country,
extending almost a mile and large enough to hold over 8,000 wine-
filled French oak barrels. This environment is regulated by nature and
it keeps the caves at a constant temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit,
and the humidity at 90 percent year round. This uniformity of temper-
ature and humidity reduces evaporation from the barrels, cuts down
on excess exposure to oxygen and allows the wine to age gracefully

24 www.WineCountryThisWeek.com
 WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINE COUNTRY NEWS

and consistently. The result is elegant wines with distinct character.

When you settle into tasting, feel free to ask about these caves, or
better yet take a tour of the caves. Either way you will discover the
difference they make, and why so much effort went into their design
and construction. A complex and certainly not inexpensive operation.
But then again, with no humidifiers or air conditioning (or heating)
systems to purchase, power and maintain, there is a real savings over
time. But it is the wine that is the driving force, after all. Mother Nature
simply helps things along, albeit very benignly.
If the weather (Mother Nature once again) is pleasant, take advan-
tage of the picnic area and its fabulous view of the Valley and the vine-
yards and small towns and high hills in the distance. Your back may
be to the Vaca Range, but the Mayacamas rise up on the western side,
to elevations of well over 2,500 feet above sea level.
Located at 200 Rutherford Hill Road in Rutherford (right off of the
Silverado Trail), you can visit the Rutherford Hill tasting room seven
days a week. They are open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m, and tours
(which include a special cellar tasting) are held at 11:30 p.m and 1:30
and 3:30 p.m. and groups are limited in size. For more information go
to www.rutherfordhill.com or give them a call at (707) 963-1871.
It is not surprising that Bravo selected the winery to host its Emmy
and James Beard award-winning Top Chef Season Six finale shows.

CORNERSTONE CELLARS
by Charles Neave
For lovers of both great wine and great food, the location of the
Cornerstone Cellars tasting room in the small Napa Valley town of
Yountville could not be more ideal. Reading down a list of their
neighbors is like a stroll through the Michelin or Zagat dining guides.
If you want to taste some wine, wine you are unlikely to find else-
where, than wander off and have some great food, then you have
found nirvana at this place on the corner. What oenophiles and
knowing gourmet food lovers (and knowing taco truck aficionados)
might well – and very accurately – define as the center of their
universe.
The tasting room of Cornerstone Cellars is expansive but intimate,
very modern and in many ways very traditional. Choose your own
descriptors, but when you enter, when you leave, and after you spend
a delightful time inside sampling away, the words “enjoyable,”
“relaxing” and “time very well spent” will echo in your mind. Enjoy
the art (very modern), try an olive oil or balsamic vinegar tasting
(very traditional) and try, most of all, the wine.
The entire Cornerstone history is interesting in and of itself.
Almost two decades ago (1991 to be exact) was the first vintage for
Cornerstone Cellars. It certainly was, as they say “a head-first plunge
into the wonderful world of long-distance wine production” for
Memphis, Tennessee doctors, David Sloas and Michael Dragutsky.
“From the beginning our philosophy was to use the best grapes,
the best barrels, the best facilities,” says Doctor Dragutsky.
“Making the best wine is the real bottom line for us. It’s thrilling to
be out to a fine meal with friends, ordering our wine and seeing the
great response to our Cornerstone wines.”
26
For them, the fact that 1991 was a great vintage year was a
wonderful thing, and it was then that Cornerstone Cellars found a
cult niche with their powerful Howell Mountain Cabernets (right off
the Silverado Trail on the east side of the Napa Valley). They make for
big, ripe, spectacular wines filled with focused fruit flavors of plum,
currant and cherry. Production is very limited.
Because of the location of the vineyards, this is some of the latest
Cab in the Napa Valley to ripen and to be picked due to the lean hill-
side soils and the elevation of the vineyards (from 1700 to 2400
feet).The vineyards yield only a sparse two or so tons an acre, and
while temperatures are moderate, the daily pattern is Quixotically
reversed. So on a hot day it’s warmer when the day begins, since the
vineyard is above the fog on the valley floor, and it is then cooler later
in the day. This combines to make the flavors in the wine more
concentrated, and the later ripening allows greater “hang time.” That
is when the intensity of flavor develops and the tannins soften.
“We put our focus on quality wines, quality experiences,” Sales
Manager Amanda Lemasters and Allison Zickfeld, Director of Sales
both agree.
“At Cornerstone Cellars, our goal is to produce small-lot, world-
class wines from the best fruit Napa Valley has to offer. Under the
Cornerstone label, we currently produce a single-vineyard Cabernet
Sauvignon from Howell Mountain, as well as our Napa Valley
Cabernet Sauvignon, which is blended from mountain and valley
floor fruit. Both wines showcase great fruit and structure, and can be
aged for several years in your cellar. Likewise, we created a newer
label called Stepping Stone, which offers fresh, funky varietals which
are great values and are crafted to be consumed relatively young.
“It is a very exciting time for Cornerstone Cellars. Even though our

first vintage was created in 1991, we never had a tasting room, since
our production was so limited. With the new addition of our Step-
ping Stone wines, we finally opened up our first tasting room in
Yountville this past fall. It is such a lovely facility!
“In addition to our wine tasting, we also have an extensive collec-
tion of Napa Valley culinary products, which are available for tasting.
What we are essentially creating is the ultimate Cornerstone Cellars
Experience: Our tasting room is a place where our customers can
visit and feel like family, relax and enjoy some of the best wine in one
of the most beautiful tasting rooms Napa has to offer!”
The tasting room of Cornerstone Cellars is open every day of the
week, from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. It is located at 6505 Washington
Street (Yountville’s main street) and though they say they are in Suite
7, trust me, you cannot miss it. For more information look at
www.cornerstonecellars.com or give them a call at (707) 945-0388.
You will certainly not regret it.

a district famous for what is known as “ultra-premium” fruit, which

in the case of wine lovers everywhere means wine grapes, planted to
a staggering number of both familiar and rare varieties.
If you look at a map of where many growers in Napa County and
beyond source their grapes or own vineyards, you will be surprised at
how many have vineyard holdings here. This is in addition to the
dozen or so wineries that call the Suisun Valley their home, and both
make, age, bottle and market their wines here. Many also have their
own tasting rooms, and during the year hold – both individually and
collectively – special events to lure those who appreciate wine to their
cellar doors.
The Suisun Valley is also dotted with farm stands and working
farms that welcome visitors. There are quaint spots to eat and relax,
and it is the driving force behind the annual Tomato Festival in Fair-
field, and for other events that occur throughout the year. But most of
all it stands as enduing symbol of the real, living heritage of this part
of the hidden but treasured wine country of Northern California.

Napa Valley Bike Tours – Wine Country at a Leisurely Pace

One of the nicest – not to mention health-
iest – ways to get to know the Napa Valley has
to be on a bicycle. The pace is leisurely, you
can really absorb the sights and sounds
around you as you pedal along, and you end
the day – or the week – with an entirely
different set of memories than if you had
zipped through this beautiful valley in a car.
If this sounds as appealing to you has it
had to thousands of other visitors, Napa
Valley Bike Tours will be happy to provide the
helmets and the bikes and a van to follow the
group so you can toss in any gear, extra
clothes and purchases you make. All you have
to do is make a reservation and show up at
their shop by 9:30 a.m. Full-day tours return
between 3 and 5 p.m.; half-day tours finish
between 1 and 2 p.m., rain or shine.
“We strive to offer an unparalleled experi-
ence for our guests hoping to be their most
memorable encounter in wine country. There
is nothing like removing the window shield
between you and the beautiful scenery in
Napa Valley while traveling to small, boutique
wineries with a knowledgeable guide and
following support van,” said Brad Dropping,
company president.
The company offers a variety of other
options as well, from kayaking to bike rentals,
even all-inclusive vacation packages. Plus, for
corporations and private groups, they offer
custom tours and team-building events. No
matter which you pick, cycling or kayaking
through the Napa Valley are unique and
always enjoyable experiences.
Napa Valley Bike Tours is centrally located
at 6488 Washington St. in Yountville and is
open every day from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For
reservations or more information, call them at
(707) 944-2953 or 1-800- 707-BIKE (2453).

 NAPA VALLEY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Tasting Room of the Week:
DUTCH HENRY WINERY
by Charles Neave
The year was 1992 when Les and Maggie
Chafen founded Dutch Henry Winery,
which they still proudly refer to as “the best
secret in the Napa Valley.” From the first day,
their goal was simplicity, itself. To make a
limited amount of handcrafted premium
wine, using the best grapes available and
setting the highest standards for themselves.
Today, the winery still makes a limited
amount every year, which includes the
coveted Howell Mountain Estate Cabernet
Sauvignon.
Often referred to as the “jewel in the
crown” by winemaker Scott Chafen, Chafen
Vineyards are situated along the south-
western-facing slopes of the Vaca mountain
range that looks out over entire eastern side of
the Napa Valley. The two vineyards are 800
and 1200 feet above sea level, and are planted
primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon.
In addition to Cabernet, the winery also
produces a bright, food-friendly Los Carneros
Chardonnay (the Carneros region along San
Pablo Bay is justly famous for the Chardonnay
planted there), a fruity and jammy Rutherford
Zinfandel, a Merlot that in the traditional
42
French style combines 90 percent Merlot with
equal parts Cabernet Franc and Cabernet
Sauvignon, and a big, intense estate Syrah
that is, frankly, almost decadent … in a very
good way. This is in addition to Argos, named
after Odysseus’ canine companion, a blend of
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and
Merlot. Drink this wine now, today or cellar it
to enjoy years from now.
Speaking of sampling, the answer to that
question is to go north on the Silverado Trail
to the winery. The grounds are peaceful, the
setting both secluded and easily accessible.
There is the olive grove that makes their own
olive oil possible (they also offer a Cabernet
Franc Vinegar), the Syrah vineyard and
perhaps best of all, the people are friendly and
great fun.
The tasting room is in the high-ceiled
winery, with three tables that serve as bars. It
is an informal spot, but you will also find that
your visit is also informative, and their enthu-
siasm is instantly contagious as they pour you
tastings of their wines.
There is always the chance to enjoy a
picnic with Dutch Henry wine and a game or
two of bocce. New options include the “Estate
Experience” where visitors will learn about
www.WineCountryThisWeek.com
the inner workings of a winery as they tour
the Estate Syrah Vineyard, the organic olive
orchard and the production end of it all. It
ends, fittingly enough, with a barrel tasting in
the cave.
The “Vintner’s Reserve Tasting” focuses on
the Reserve Cab and their new Chafen Family
Reserve label. It is a seated tasting held in a
private part of the cave and their are other
options available here as well, including food
or cheese pairings. To keep the experience
intimate and even more memorable, group
size is limited for both of these two new
opportunities. And you can be sure, like
everything that happens at this “Napa Valley
secret,” it will be a time that you long
remember with a smile.
Dutch Henry Winery is open daily by
appointment, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Located
at 4300 Silverado Trail near Calistoga, they
would also like it known to fellow dog lovers
that well-behaved canines on a leash are
welcome. For more information call (707)
942-5771 or 1-888-224-5879, or look for
them at www.dutchhenry.com. While you’re
there, be sure to click on the ‘Dog Dish’ icon
at the top of the home page to get the latest on
the resident pups.

Supergroup Crosby, Stills and Nash to Headline

Opening Night at 6th Annual Sonoma Jazz+
Woodstock Icons Sure to Be a Big Hit at Wine Country Festival
Coming on the heels of the extraordinarily strong reception for
Earth, Wind and Fire – tickets are going very fast, so a word to the
wise; don’t wait to buy – Sonoma Jazz +’s sixth year has now picked
up incredible steam with today’s announcement that the second head-
liner, performing on Friday, May 21st, will be the legendary Crosby,
Stills and Nash.
When David Crosby (The Byrds), Stephen Stills (Buffalo Spring-
field) and Graham Nash (The Hollies), first sang together, it was as
though angels had sat down in a Los Angeles Laurel Canyon house
and decided to rock and roll. Those heavenly harmonies have carried
them 41 years since that day, through the most remarkable triumphs
and some painful tragedies to a status unique in American music.
Nothing has ever sounded like a CSN song.
Their second show was in front of 450,000 people, and they made
every child of God at Woodstock dance with joy. Their eponymous David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash
first album was a classic, with songs like “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,”
“Guinevere,” “Marrakesh Express” and “Wooden Ships.” The 1970 Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock,” Graham Nash’s “Our House” and “Teach
follow-up, Déjà vu, surged to #1 on the charts with their version of Your Children” and Stephen Still’s “Carry On.”
They ranged from acoustic folk to thundering rock and roll, and
TO TO
they created the sound track of an era. Remarkably, their voices and

Pinot Paradise – March 27 and 28, 2010
By Laura Ness
Here in the Summit Area of the Santa Cruz Mountains, we live on
top of the world in the middle of “Pinot Paradise” The conditions are
perfect for both Pinot and Chardonnay. We are so lucky, but we don’t
have any intention of keeping these great wines to ourselves.
The 7th annual Pinot Paradise, a celebration of Santa Cruz Moun-
tains Pinot Noir, is a chance to share our bounty with fellow Pinot
lovers. Pinot Paradise will be held at the end of March. Saturday,
March 27 is your chance to visit the local wineries taking part in Pinot
Pathways. For $25, you can barrel sample or
enjoy library selections, depending on what the
wineries have to offer.
On Sunday, March 28, the day kicks off at 9 a.m. Pinots that day.
at Villa Ragusa in Campbell with a seminar called Hunter Hill Winery will feature their new
“Yeast Gone Wild in the Santa Cruz Mountains,” 2008 Estate Pinot Noir at the winery and at Pinot
an in-depth look at the use of native or “wild” Paradise. This wine is in very limited supply, so
yeast in fermentation. A panel of winemakers will jump on it while you can. Enjoy the beautiful
share their views on this somewhat controversial colors of their vineyard hillsides covered in spring
