intelligence for the Wine conSUMer by Len Napolitano
Why are some wines filtered?

Filtering, along with another process called fining, are processes that make a wine clearer and brighter. By definition, whenever wine is racked, or transferred, from one holding container to another, such as from a stainless steel tank into an oak barrel, it becomes clearer by separating the clearest wine from sediment left behind, just like pouring wine at home from a bottle into a decanter. With filtering, the process removes small solid particles that cause a visible haziness in a wine. Fining addresses the more microscopic particles that, although are invisible to the naked eye, may create aroma or flavor faults over time. This does not mean that wines that are unfined or unfiltered are less enjoyable wines or of lesser quality. Whether a wine is filtered or fined is a decision made dependent upon whether it will improve a wines character or long-term aging. The fining process takes place just before bottling and stabilizes the wine for the long term. These virtually invisible solids may trigger an unwanted secondary fermentation after the wine has been bottled and sealed. There are risks in the process, however, and the decision whether a wine is filtered or unfiltered is one of the most critical decisions made by the winemaker. The danger in filtering or fining the wine is that it risks also removing some beneficial, natural compounds that are responsible for enhanced flavor, style, strength and aging potential. So, if the wine is not filtered enough, it could eventually develop an off-taste and ruin an entire batch of wine, not to mention a years worth of hard work. On the other hand, if filtered too much, the wine could end up flat, uninteresting and off tasting. A wine label may or may not indicate whether the wine was filtered and a buying decision should not be made based upon it. It is not an indication of quality, in either instance, but as a wine drinker, you may want to take special note of wines that you taste that are labeled unfiltered and decide if they are more or less appealing to you. Another clarifying process, called cold stabilization, chills the wine in order to solidify some chemical compounds formed naturally during fermentation and which may later form into large solid particle or crystals. This cold stabilization process is designed to bring out these compounds in advance of them creating a problem after the bottle is sealed. In the event you open a bottle of wine that contains these tiny solids that look like little glass shards, dont be concerned, it is perfectly OK to drink the wine after doing your best to separate these solids from the wine.

Quality Wines All Under $25 at Wine Garage, Calistoga

by Jeffry Ross
The Skinny The Wine Garage is all about the juice. Its also about having fun
like a kid in a candy store. The Wine Garage is, literally, a former gas station. Todd, the wine buyer, travels far and wide to find top-shelf, affordably priced wines. Inside, youll find more than 200 different labels neatly arranged in cases on the floor and an engaging staff who are friendly, attentive and most importantly, they know their wines. Buzz Despite its funky space, the Wine Garage is a wine lovers best friend. Reminiscent of visiting your favorite record store (yes, kids, once upon a time, thats where you had to buy your music), the fun is going through all the cases and finding something youve never heard of. All the wines have been test driven by the staff, so, whatever you select, you wont be disappointed. Value Ultimately, the Wine Garage is about value. Its no secret that in Napa Valley, its difficult to score a highly rated red for less than $65, but the Wine Garage manages to do it all the time. The staff takes great pride hunting down unusual and lesser-known, limited-production wines and passing their haggling finesse on to us. Ten-second summary With the exception of Wine Garage labeled-awardwinning Cabernets, nothing in this hip hideaway is more than $25! The Wine Garage is stocked with premium, small-lot wines that you wont find at BevMo, Trader Joes or your local wine store (plus, they do a better job storing their wines at the correct temperature). Best bets In addition to all the labels the Wine Garage represents, they also produce their own lip-smacking blends. My in-house favorites are: 2009 Joy Ride (white blend), 2007 Napa Valley Cabernet, 2007 Napa Valley Petite Syrah, 2008 Napa Valley Chihuahua Cabernet and 2006 Napa Valley Hillside Cabernet. Under-the-radar Go old-school with half-gallon jugs filled while you wait using their specifically designed service station nozzles. Not only are the wines delicious (and affordable), the jug is crazy fun conversation at the table. Its also a cool gift. Secrets For the next few weeks, receive an additional ten percent off the already low prices when you purchase six bottles. Twenty percent on a case. Better yet, the Wine Garage has the BEST wine club in the valley and they ship just about everywhere. Insider If youre a serious wino, get on the inside track for ultra exclusive deals by hooking up with the Wine Garage on Twitter and Facebook (wine club members get first crack to cream-of-the-crop finds).

MONTICELLO VINEYARDS
Corley Family Winery
BY Michelle J. BAKer
The year was 1969. Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the moon; the New York Mets were on their way to their first National League pennant; Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was topping the years box office sales. And an intrepid young Midwesterner, yearning to answer the call of his ancestors, was scouring Napa Valley for the perfect piece of land on which to plant the family flag. Now, on the eve of Jay Corleys 81st birthday, he looks back at his 40+ years in the Napa Valley and looks forward to the next generations taking the reins of the Corley Familys Monticello Vineyards
Jay, Stephen, Chris and Kevin Corley
A Dream Takes Root

In 1969, the Stanford-educated Corley was a running a successful publicly traded company in Los Angeles, but wanted to trade his three-piece suit for overalls. After all, farming was in his blood. Every generation of my family for 400 years has been farmers. As a boy, I loved spending time on my grandfathers farm in southern Illinois. I just always wanted to get back to farming. At the time, Corleys friend, a wine shop owner in Los Angeles, was developing a piece of property in Yountville. He invited Corley to come for a visit, and Corley was hooked. I would come up nearly every weekend for nine months to see what was going on here. I would just roam around, get to know people, ask questions. There werent many people around, but the ones who were, as Corley ticks off the names of contemporary Napa Valley pioneers, were very helpful. A self-described Burgundy guy with a taste for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Corley was looking for a place where those varieties would thrive. He found it in

an 80-acre prune orchard at the southern end of Napa Valley. He liked the propertys proximity to the cooling breezes of the San Pablo Bay and the fact that it sat next to the Napa River. I didnt think of being on Highway 29 to capture visitors, I wanted to be on the river because I knew access to water would be essential. Once the property was cleaned up, Corley didnt cut corners planting the vineyard. We used all of the new technology coming out of Davis. We tested the soil everywhere, and we drilled holes in the ground to see how the water was flowing. Then we planted the vines closer together than most people were doing in those days to stress them.
decided he would rather drown in wine than sea water. He worked in the cellar under other winemakers for 13 years before he earned enough stripes to become head winemaker in 2002. Now the three brothers form a harmonious management team at Monticello. Three of them is better than one of me, says the senior Corley.
The Jefferson Connection

Jay Corley was a great admirer of Thomas Jefferson, who was not only a founding father but also Americas first great connoisseur. He honored the third President by naming the winery Monticello Vineyards after Jeffersons mountaintop home in Charlottesville, Virginia. In 1984, the Corleys built the Jefferson House, a very close replica of Monticello, on the Home Ranch that is now used as office space and to entertain guests. The four acres of grounds surrounding the Jefferson House are comprised of the same trees, shrubs and flowers Thomas Jefferson planted at Monticello. In the quaint, rustic tasting room, the staff pours a little bit of everything the Corleys produce from 80 acres of vines on the Home Ranch in the Oak Knoll District as well as four other estate vineyards in Napa Valley. With 30 vintages under their belts, the Corleys like to show off their library wines in reserve tastings in the Jefferson House. Slip into the comfortable black leather chairs and enjoy a flight of Cabernet Sauvignon, some Merlot, or their very popular estate Pinot Noir. People come for our Cabernet Sauvignon, Stephen Corley says, but they leave with Cabernet and Pinot Noir.
The Next Generation

Things went well enough those first years to make Corley think, we can do this. Soon the successful winegrower wanted to build a winery. As an graduate student years earlier, Corley had written a thesis on starting up a winery. He opened his desk drawer, dusted off the old thesis and got started. All seven of Corleys children helped out at the winery during their high school years. But Corley encouraged them to go off, experience the world outside of the winery where they had grown up, and then come back if they wanted. Kevin Corley, now Winegrower and President, became a successful banker in Los Angeles. Stephen Corley, now the winerys Director of Sales and Marketing, was a CPA who worked at the accounting firm KPMG before he came back to the winery in 1997. Chris Corley, the youngest of the three, has worked at the winery the longest. Initially aiming to be a marine biologist, Chris eventually

KENDALL-JACKSON WINE CENTER

THE KENDALL JACKSON WINE CENTER open daily from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. 5007 fulton road, fulton (near Santa rosa) (707) 571-8100 | www.ky.com | find KJ on facebook and twitter look for the ad on page 19 for a two-for-one reserve tasting. Upcoming events at the Wine center include Meet the Winemaker on March 31st and April 28th, and a Plant Sale on Saturday, May 5th
Just in time for Valentines Day, Sonoma Countys Kendall-Jackson is encouraging visitors to enjoy a Wine & Dessert tasting, where their roster of dessert wines are matched up with sweets. On the menu are such pairings as their 2009 Vintners Reserve Riesling with Coconut Macaroon; the 2009 Vintners Reserve Muscat Canelli with a classic Mexican Wedding Cookie made from roasted pecans, orange zest and plenty of butter; and two Passion Fruit French Macaroon cookies with a milk chocolate ganache served with the Late Harvest Riesling There is also a rare 2006 Late Harvest Chardonnay served with an Almond Frangipane with Lemon Fennel Mousse, or try the classic pairing of chocolate and Port, with their rich Grand Reserve Port matched with Valrhona Bittersweet Chocolate. This tasting is offered all day, every day, and no reservations are required for six people or less. But then, food has always been an important part of the winery experience at Kendall-Jackson, from seated food and wine pairings and culinary garden tours to their wildly popular Tomato Festival held annually that always brings sell-out crowds. The internationally famed winery was founded by Barbara Banke and her late husband, Jess Jackson. Both successful attorneys, they used their skills, attention to detail and love for fine wine and food to grow the winery into one off the nations most successful wineries. Starting with humble beginnings the company added state-of-the-art wineries, a wine center with beautiful grounds and a friendly tasting room, while they carefully expanded their vineyard holdings, increased the labels they owned as well as the varietals they incorporated into their wines. They also have a small but very tasteful tasting in nearby downtown
20

Healdsburg, one of everyones favorite Northern California Wine Country towns that is now full of exceptional restaurants and world class lodging, art galleries and shopping. Today, the wines of KendallJackson can be found around the globe, so you can order a glass in a gastro-pub in London, see it on a restaurant wine list in Tokyo or in a shop in Hong Kong. And they have done all this while doing some of the most difficult things to do in the wine business: keep your attention to detail sharp, keep it a family winery (Julia, Katie and Christopher Jackson are very much a part of the operation) and year after year maintain quality. As Jess once said, From day one, we have been a familyowned and family-run business. It is a distinction that is rapidly becoming a rarity in our industry. Our family culture is built on the time-honored principles of hard work, integrity, an uncompromising desire for quality and the long-term stewardship of the land. When my family and I founded Kendall-Jackson in 1982, we simply wanted to create extraordinary wine from Californias best vineyards. Whether you visit their wine center to satisfy your sweet tooth with an incomparable pairing, a stroll in the garden, for a special event, you will get a warm greeting, memorable wines and youll learn as much as you care to learn about the making of wine, the winerys history and the people that founded it, and how they kept their original promise to the land, and to the crafting of wine that was once only a distant vision.

BEAULIEU VINEYARD
Legendary Rutherford Winery Celebrates Heritage in the Newly Opened Museum and History Tour
by Alexandra Charsley
It seems logical that Beaulieu Vineyard would open a new Heritage room to celebrate their long history of producing great wine. As more people are turning back to their roots, they have embraced this tradition and thats what makes them a destination winery. I have been drinking Beaulieu wines for as long as I can remember. Their big, bold reds always deliver and happen to be my favorite. Their tasting room experience now offers so much more than tastings and winery exclusive information, but also a piece of their enduring legacy. In 1900, Georges de Latour founded his winery with the vision of creating worldclass Cabernet Sauvignon from the exceptional terroir of Rutherford. In the century since, Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon has become the benchmark Napa Valley Cabernet as well as one of the most collected American wines. The first Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon was crafted with grapes from the 1936 vintage by Andr Tchelistcheff, who tasted the wine in barrel and insisted on giving it an independent bottling. Today, this wine is widely considered the standard bearer of fine Rutherford Cabernet, with deep fruit character, silky tannins and impressive aging ability. This legacy honors the marriage between state-of-the-art technology and gentle, traditional winemaking methods, a combination that enhances the expression of their remarkable vineyards.

Their new Heritage Room is a tribute to their beginning, their ability to survive during Prohibition, and to become a top producer of rich, classic Napa Valley wines. The original 1885 stone walls house the museum and the original beams were preserved. Guests will be the first to see the interesting array of historic pieces they have collected over the years; ranging from original winemaking equipment to sales ledgers from the postProhibition era showing that their Private Reserve once sold for $1.01 per bottle. We found this great collection of amazing pieces of our history stored away in an old warehouse. As much as we embrace new technology and innovation, our history is also what sets us apart and will capture the interest of curious visitors. We are very excited to finally be able to invite the public to come see what weve dusted off in our new Heritage Room, Graham Jones, Beaulieu Vineyard Hospitality Manager. They recently celebrated the release of the 2008 vintage of Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. This marks the first vintage to be made 100 percent out of their new state-ofthe-art winery dedicated solely to Georges de Latour Private Reserve. In 2008, under recommendation from legendary consultant Michel Rolland, Beaulieu Vineyard created a winery within a winery to produce their flagship wine. After more than 60 years of sharing space, BV's Georges de Latour Private Reserve has gone private with the recent completion of its own, new 9,600square-foot micro winery. Having a brand new state-of-the-art winery is a dream come true for a winemaker. This facility helps me to achieve complex yet balanced wines that reflect the true character of our renowned vineyards, says Director of Winemaking, Jeffrey Stambor. Twice daily Historic Tours are being conducted and include a Cabernet Sauvignon Barrel Tasting in the Heritage Room for $20 per guest. Advance reservations are recommended and can be made through their website at www.bvwines.com. The tour also allows guests to visit their historic Redwood Tank room where they will get to take in the wonderful beauty and aroma of their 75+ year old redwood wine tanks. Then, you are invited to taste the acclaimed wines that are such an important part of Napa Valleys past and present. While here, visit the Georges de Latour Reserve Tasting room and try the new 2008 release. The Reserve Room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and features their entire Reserve Wines including the Library Collection with wines dating back to 1970.
2007 Clone 4 & 2007 Clone 6 Cabernet Sauvignon Release Party

On Saturday, March 17th, come celebrate the release of the 2007 Clone 4 and 2007 Clone 6 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignons. This vintage marks the 12th Anniversary of these stunning wines which are a true testament to the rich history of research and innovation at Beaulieu Vineyard. Your afternoon will be hosted from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Tasting Room and will include hors doeuvres, a library tasting, and the opportunity to meet the winemaker Jeffrey Stambor. Cost is $50 per person to attend.

BEAU WINE TOURS & LIMOUSINE SERVICE

BY chArleS neAVe
There are a variety of ways to see the wine country of Northern California. If you are a visitor you can rent a car at the airport; if you are a local you drive yourself in your own car or go with friends and make one of them the designated driver. For the hardy (or foolhardy) you can hop on a bicycle. Or, and this is without doubt my first choice, you can call 1-800-387-2328 and let Beau Wine Tours & Limousine Service arrange for absolutely everything. Founded in 1996, this local company has worked hard to deliver each of their guests excellent customer service. We started as a corporate transportation company fifteen years ago, said Tom Buck, company president (and noted Wine Educator). But over time weve transformed the company into a fully dedicated destination tour service. And, I would also add that we are fully capable of handling any type of group, from a honeymooning couple to the corporate groups that gave us our start. Today, they operate a fleet of spotless and mirror-polished black vehicles that are a frequent sight on area roads and at wineries, both large and small. Their roster of available vehicles is certainly impressive. They range from Town Cars, top-level Mercedes Benz sedans, executive-level SUVs, and impressive stretch limousines, to shuttle buses, spacious custom vans and beautifully outfitted coaches for
large groups, whether it be friends and family here for a special occasion, or a business group numbering in the dozens. Adding to the attraction are the companys drivers. They are required to take a three-week course before they even meet their first customer. This training period is not limited to just vehicle operation, either. It includes a comprehensive curriculum that makes accomplished drivers into very knowledgeable tour guides and sources of information and local lore. Driver training includes learning local history, geography and general winemaking and winery comprehension. Most of them have invaluable personal ties with winery owners, winemakers and tasting room personnel. They may even throw in some local gossip (lets call them stories, it sounds more dignified) and little known facts you can share with your friends when you get home. And not by any means least of all, they are friendly, personable, appropriately conservative and unfailingly accommodating. Also, you are encouraged to ask questions. The driver/guides enjoy sharing their thoughts and are more than happy to answer any questions, and as they say, There is no such thing as a silly question. Helping you understand this area and its two major attractions fine wine and excellent food and exceptional scenery as well, is why we are here, and why you, we are sure, are here as well.

One of the most popular offerings the company has is the unique Napa Valley Daily Wine Tour. Bring your friends, or if you are traveling alone, perhaps on business or just to get away from it all, bring yourself, and meet your other limousine-mates. The tour includes the vehicle and driver of course, but it also offers a picnic lunch, complimentary sparkling wine, a pick-up in the Napa area between 9:30 and 10:30 a.m., and a visit to four boutique wineries, some of which may very well be new and unknown to you, but not to your driver. The only costs not included are the nominal tasting fees. It is, honestly, one of the best bargains here among the vines and villages of a beautiful region. Other offerings on their menu of great experiences is the hot air balloon and wine tour package, one of their many unique and memorable experiences. Or, if you enjoy wonderful food almost as much or more (is that possible?) than world-class wine, you might want to consider the VIP Dinner Service. Youll begin with a sunset drive in a stretch limousine with complimentary Champagne on the way to a very special culinary evening, and you can relax on your ride home. The company will be happy to make restaurant recommendations and reservations for you. Other options include a luncheon or dinner at the winery where a favorite wine is produced, and a meal carefully chosen to pair with that wine. This could range from a box lunch at a scenic country vineyard to an elegant four course meal in a wine cave. They can also arrange for the winemaker to be on hand to guide you through the wines crafted at the winery that are paired with each course as well as wine and food pairings, barrel tastings, sensory seminars or a wine blending workshop. For another option in a long list of unique possibilities there is the Sonoma Valley Wine Trolley, available for Cable Car Wine Tours and private charters. But what is it, exactly? Its a self-powered, hand-built replica (using blueprints from the late 1890s) of one of the vintage California Street cable cars San Francisco is famous for. The view from this comfortable and classic open-air cable car is unmatched, and passengers can become immersed in the wine country scenery as they relax and enjoy the tour. For large events, either private or corporate, it is all simply a phone call away. As an added convenience, Beau Wine Tours also offers airport or city pick-up and drop-off service. What it comes down to is if you want to concentrate on your trip to Sonoma or the Napa Valley, this one phone call can make all the difference. In Napa, the phone number for Beau Wine Tours is (707) 2570887. In Sonoma they are based at 21707 8th Street East and the number there is (707) 938-8001. Or, you can make it even easier and simply call their toll free number, (800) 387-2328 and their reservationists can make whatever arrangements you might need. It is also worth going onto their very comprehensive and easy-to-use website: www.beauwinetours.com. It really can be quick, easy and friendly one stop shopping.

TASTING ROOM OF THE WEEK
ACACIA VINEYARD
Great Times in Carneros All Spring Long!
BY JoSh Stein
ACACIA VINEYARD open by appointment only: Monday-Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday noon to 4 p.m. 2750 las Amigas road, napa (707) 226-9991 x2 | www.acaciavineyard.com
The wine business is really very simple. If youve got great grapes, you dont need to over-work the result. At Acacia Vineyard, which was founded in 1979 less than two miles from San Pablo Bay, theyve got one hundred and fifty acres worth of great grapes which have produced world-renowned Chardonnay and Pinot Noir for more than three decades. And as members of the Carneros Wine Alliance, Acacia has taken the lead in making sure Carneros stays a place which will always produce great grapes. What else would expect from the one of the few wineries getting it right about Carneros from the start? Indeed, Acacia was one of the first to recognize the Carneros regions potential for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and the winery was also a forerunner in vineyard-designating their wines because of the lot-by-lot methodology it has employed for its fermentations. Rather than homogenizing the grapes or juice, each vineyard block is made separately and goes into its own barrels, allowing time and cellar conditions to do their magic before any decisions are made about bottling this helps to preserve the uniqueness of each vintage and the specialness of the particular vineyard in the glass. Youll probably recognize those vineyard names: St. Clair Vineyard, which has produced single vineyard wines since 1979; Beckstoffer; Lone Tree Vineyard; Sangiacomo and Winery Lake Vineyard.

Winemaker Profile: Arger-Martucci Vineyards
DR. KOSTA ARGER

BY AleXAnDrA chArSleY Arger-Martucci Vineyards, a boutique winery located in St. Helena, was formed by two families that share a passion for making premium handcrafted wine. Dr. Arger is not only a full-time cardiologist in Reno, but is also the winemaker and co-owner of Arger-Martucci Vineyards. Here he spends his weekends and the harvest season performing his winemaking duties to ensure the very best from their grapes. Following in the footsteps of his mentor Joe Heitz of Heitz Cellars, Dr. Arger is a firm believer in holding back red varietals to allow for sufficient bottle age before release. The current vintage for their Bordeaux and Burgundy varietals is 2005. With the additional time in bottle, he is confident you will enjoy these elegant and complex wines. Kosta Arger was born in Tacoma, Washington and was raised in a traditional Greek family, where his father and uncles made home wine with their Italian friends. He attended medical school at the University of Washington in Seattle and completed his postgraduate training in cardiology at the University of California at Davis. He started his cardiology practice in Reno in 1985. With his background in chemistry, his passion for winemaking grew, and in 1975 Dr. Arger and his wife, Julie, met Joe and Alice Heitz while honeymooning in Napa Valley. Their friendship grew and Joe invited Kosta to come and help work the 1976 crush. After working the long crush, Joe arranged for Kosta to get a half-ton of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from Nathan Fay and truck them back to Seattle. Kosta later befriended Jo Ann and Tony Truchard, who happened to live next door to the Argers in Reno, and Kosta began making Cabernet Sauvignon blended with a touch of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. He has continued to produce his Cabernet Sauvignon in this traditional Bordeaux style since the early 1980s. Their limited-production varietals include Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petite Syrah Their signature reserve Cabernet blend, named Odyssey, features rich textures and incredible layers of flavor. Their white blend, named Iliad, contains the four aromatic varietals of Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewrztraminer and Muscat. In addition, when the weather conditions are just right, they produce a late harvest Sauvignon Blanc dessert wine named Dulcinea. Their total annual production remains under 5,000 cases. On a beautiful day, you can taste wine in their back garden next to the pool or stay inside for an intimate tasting. They offer many different tasting flights and provide a unique tasting experience that can only be had when you visit a small, family run winery that produces such exceptional wine.

Wine Tasting in
SUISUN VALLEY
If this is one of your many visits to the wine country, you are no doubt looking for something a little different. So why not change things up and take the road less travelled through Suisun Valley The Napa Back Road. We all no doubt have our favorites, but we are always looking to one up our friends back home. Yes, that never ending search for something new and refreshing, but still preserving all that made you first fall in love with the whole Wine Country Experience. If you are staying in downtown Napa, do you realize you are just approximately 15 to 20 minutes away from a valley that preserved what Napa was in the 1960s? However, the wines at such places like Vezer Family Vineyard and the Blue Victorian Winery take advantage of both the old traditions, such as 100% hand punched down wines, along with implementing the important new techniques learned from those great California winemakers over the last 50 years. This Suisun Valley has been a long-time held secret in the wine country. In fact, many of the locals try to continue this secret, simply because it is where they go to still experience those old feelings of days gone by. Suisun Valley is where you can find wines that would sell for over $150 a bottle at the popular better known tourist destinations in Napa, for $30 to $60. These same wines have 94, 95 and 97 point rankings and medals from the greatest national and international competitions!

CHARLES KRUG WINERY

187th Birthday Dinner and Celebration, March 3
Charles Krug Winery is throwing a birthday party for everybodys favorite Prussian revolutionary, entrepreneur and the founder of Napa Valleys first winery Charles Krug, of course. Special guests at the dinner will include family proprietor Peter Mondavi Jr., Charles Krug winemaker Stacy Clark and spirit medium Leanne Thomas. The birthday celebration will feature appetizers followed by a seated dinner paired with Charles Krug wines. Leanne Thomas will attempt to channel Charles Krug himself, to send him birthday wishes in honor of his 187th. Leanne has already visited Charles Krugs estate in order to get a feel for the historic spaces and she feels confident she made some spirit connections while she was here. With her help, attendees will be able to ask Charles Krug a few questions as long as weve got his attention. How often do you get to wish someone a happy 187th birthday? While Charles Krug was actually born on March 1, 1925, his 187th birthday party is Saturday, March 3, beginning at 6 p.m. upstairs in the Carriage House. The Carriage House, one of two historic buildings on the winery estate, was built in 1881 to house the horses and carriages owned by Charles Krugs wife, Carolina. Charles Krug Winery has been in the Peter Mondavi Family for nearly 70 of its 150 years. The Peter Mondavi Family has recently extensively replanted the winerys estate vineyards with noble red Bordeaux varietals, and practices sustainable viticulture on their 850 prime Napa Valley acres. Those efforts to steward the land and preserve the winerys historical legacy are earning new respect for a family long identified with California wine. To learn more about Charles Krug Winery and the vision of Cesare and Rosa Mondavi, visit CharlesKrug.com.

One Vineyard, One Wine, Made Right: David Fulton Winerys Petite Sirah
David Fulton Winery, a historic Petite Sirah producer, announced the two newest accolades to be given to their 2008 Petite Sirah, Old Vines, from their St. Helena Estate: The first silver medal was awarded at the International Womens Wine Competition: A partnership of Vineyard & Winery Management Magazine and Women & Wine. Women & Wine connects with over 50% of the wine industry from winemakers to winery owners, public relations, sales and marketing teams, winery associations, writers, bloggers, website owners and more in the US and around the globe. Women tend to choose and buy eight out of every 10 bottles of wine drunk at home*. Thats why this competition, judged entirely by women, was conceived in 2005. A second silver medal was awarded to David Fultons 2008 Petite Sirah at the 2012 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. The 2012 event has set a new American wine competition record with an astounding 5,500 entries. For nine consecutive years, this prestigious competition holds strong as the Largest Competition of American Wines in the World. Bob Fraser, SFCWC Executive Director,says We are thrilled that wineries all over the United States understand and respect the outstanding caliber of our 65 judges from throughout the wine industry and the country. We have one vineyard and make just one wine here at David Fulton Winery. Our total production is only around 400 cases a year. (The Valleys largest winery produces 9 million cases a year) We handsort our grapes three times before fermentation and have a three year aging program before release. Says Stephanie Trotter Zacharia, DFWs Director of Winemaking If youd like to visit, were proud to not only pour a couple of vintages of our Petite Sirah for you but also pour Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel and a Riesling style wine called One Last Kiss from our neighbors Scott & Jana Harveys winery. Their worldclass wines are otherwise not available for tasting here in the Valley. The 2008 Old-Vines Petite Sirah holds true to previous releases of elegance. This vintage provides a wider range of bright, high-tone fruit flavors emanating from the expected deep, dark color of the varietal. We found pleasing aromas of blackberry, fig, cinnamon, dark bakers chocolate and licorice along with flavors of red cherry, boysenberry, raspberry, and distinct vanilla on the palate. With soft tannins, this is a round, velvety, silky wine that will not need much cellaring to enjoy. The David Fulton Winery 2008 Petite Sirah is grown in the historic St. Helena, estate vineyards planted in 1860. David Fulton also built the towns first stone wine cellar under the winery next to it just one year later. He also invented the famous Fulton One Horse Plow. This exact location is where the wine is still made today in much the same way. The vineyard and winerys current owners are David Fultons greatgrandson, Fulton Mather and his wife, Dink. The grapes are picked each year and sorted along with wine club members, friends and family, by hand before fermentation. The fermented grapes are then pressed out in a traditional basket press and the wine aged for nearly three years in thin-staved French oak barrels. The resulting wine is consistently highly acclaimed among their peers and a favorite referral among Petite Sirah fans. David Fulton Winery & Vineyards is located at 825 Fulton Lane, just four blocks east of Hwy 29, in Napa Valleys historic St. Helena. Visitors are invited to the winery any Friday through Monday from 11 to 4 for tasting. Other times may be available by appointment. They offer in addition to two vintages of the award winning Petite Sirah, tastings of Our Sweet Petite, a port style wine. All have very limited productions. You should note that the winery doesnt have any commercial signage, so youll have to look for the address (825 Fulton Lane) to enjoy the winerys private setting! *According to Vinexpo 2009 survey, women choose and buy eight out of every 10 bottles of wine that are drunk at home. Women and Wine, a study of 4,306 women in France, Germany, the UK, Japan and the US, was carried out between January and March this year among the readers of Decanter and Livingetc magazines. The research was commissioned as part of a regular annual survey by Vinexpo, the worlds largest wine and spirit exhibition.

Chef Richard Reddington Opens Redd Wood
Acclaimed chef of Michelin-starred Redd presents casual, wine country pizzeria
Acclaimed chef Richard Reddington of the Michelin-starred restaurant Redd, recently introduced his latest venture, Redd Wood. Centrally located in the idyllic town of Yountville, the highly anticipated Redd Wood is a casual wine country pizzeria featuring wood-fired pizzas and pastas and a locally diverse and approachable wine list, amid a contemporary, industrialchic design. Former Redd chef Jacob Kossman joins Reddington in Redd Woods open kitchen to present an approachable, daily-changing menu focused on wood-burning oven-baked pizzas, house-made pastas and seasonally-inspired side and main dishes. Sample menu items include warm olives ($5); romaine, anchovy, lemon, garlic, crouton ($10); pizzas such as: oregano, garlic and chili (no cheese) ($10); fresh mozzarella and basil ($11); prosciutto cotto, Brussels sprouts, tellagio, red onion ($14); sausage, broccoli, chili, pickled peppers ($15); and pastas including: pappardelle, rabbit, savoy cabbage, parmesan ($16); and lamb bolognese, arancini, tapenade ($18). From the dedicated charcuterie room comes Redd Woods house-cured prosciutto and salumi. As with Redd, winner of a Michelin star for six consecutive years, Redd Wood reflects the dedication of a chef who, after spending 15 years in some of the best kitchens in the U.S. and Europe, has found the ideal balance of serious food and unpretentious environment. Named Rising Star by San Francisco Chronicles Michael Bauer in 1998, and Best Rising Chef by San Francisco Magazine in 2003. At Redd Wood, Chef Reddington teams up with highlyregarded St. Helena-based interior designer Erin Martin of Erin Martin Design to create a decidedly unique wine country restaurant. Layering raw elements of unfinished stone, steel, glass and wood, Martin creates texture while providing a warm, neutral color palette. All boldly-scaled, custom-fabricated pieces sit side-by-side, one-of-a-kind salvaged objects for an overall design that is simultaneously modern rustic and comfortable. In the dining room, which seats 40, exposed, rich cocoa-colored wooden lathe lining walls, mismatched chairs and curious found objects create an impression of spontaneity and a comfortable, relaxed ambiance. Tufted leather banquettes and provocative hand-written quotes inscribed surreptitiously throughout the space inspire comfortable conversation among dining guests. A central white stone wine table anchored from above by a large brass-dipped buoy draws focus to the thoughtfully-curated wine list created by master sommelier William Sherer. Focusing on interesting, approachably-priced local wines, Redd Wood also offers a larger, more encompassing reserve list upon request. Redd Wood is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week. Redd Wood is located at 6755 Washington Street in Yountville. For more information, visit the website at www.redd-wood.com or call (707) 299-5030.

Pretty in Pink The Pink Mansion

by Sue Straight, The Wine Wench
The Pink Mansion is a Victorian mansion turned into a bed-and-breakfast-inn located within walking distance to the charming, wine-infused hamlet of Calistoga. Two potted palms sit sentry at the front entrance on the road. You pass through the front entry, go up a few stairs and find yourself on a mossy brick pathway that meanders its way through the front yard (complete with a bamboo shaded koi pond) to the front steps of the Victorian. A covered porch, painted bright white, wraps all the way around the house, with white wicker furniture in front that invites you to sit a spell and enjoy a glass of locally produced wine. Once inside, you may just sigh with pleasure, as I did. The first thing I noticed was the mouthwatering aroma of the place (Im funny that way) it smells like gingerbread great view of the northern Napa Valley. The house was built in 1875 and much of the original cabinetry, doorknobs and accessories (such as the beveled glass doors) are still in use. The hardwood floors and stairs creak with authenticity. You can feel the history of this place. There are seven guest rooms (some of the rooms are huge deluxe suites), all tastefully decorated in true Victorian style. Every room has beautiful antique pieces and cushy, cozylooking beds. For those who cannot leave their technology behind, WiFi is available throughout the inn. Now for something youll really like this is the ONLY bed and breakfast in Napa County with a heated indoor swimming pool! The pool was added in 1958 and it is fantastic! This unique inn is a wonderful place to stay. For more information, call (707) 9420558, or visit www.pinkmansion.com.
and yummy breakfast food, mixed with a hint of beeswax. I also noticed the gorgeous, historically correct interior. In the front parlor, the ceiling is literally a work of art, a crystal chandelier sparkles in the Calistoga sunshine and beautiful, well-polished antique furniture is everywhere. From the front parlor, beveled glass doors open into the dining room, where a full-on gourmet breakfast is served daily. The dining room also boasts a huge window, complete with a window seat spanning its length, offering a

During the winter, visitors can linger in cushy armchairs or a large sofa in front of a roaring fire, so even if the weather is cold and gray outside, the tasting room always has a warm,

Collage Retrospective by Douglas DeVivo at the Charles Creek Tasting Room & Gallery
Fun and colorful are words often used to describe the unique works of local artist Douglas DeVivo whose retrospective of 15 years as a collage artist is currently on display at the Charles Creek Tasting Room & Gallery. I paint with paper, says the artist, creating depth and shadow from bits of written text, old illustrated technology and slivers of our personal history. My process is quick and instinctual; there is something meditative about cutting and laying paper. Time just flies away Beyond the surface appeal that encourages comfortable engagement with each piece, the viewer will find layer upon layer of depth, complexity and ever-changing perspectives. The early work, DeVivo observes, is so different; I was into furniture making at the time so most are boxed (three dimensional). Over
the years the work has become more open, more emotional and visually complex. These collages hit you on so many different levels. Each one has a rich visual history; they bring back memories. You can look forever and never see it all! Douglas DeVivo lives and works in Jenner, California. This show will run through March 31, 2012. Specializing in high quality Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon (as well as microscopic quantities of Pinot Grigio, Merlot, Sangiovese and Tempranillo) from great vineyard sources, Charles Creek Vineyard produces wines that are fruit driven , food friendly and easily paired with the courses of a meal. The winery Tasting Room is conveniently situated in a charming 1890s era storefront on the historic Sonoma Plaza. In addition wine tasting and sales, the Tasting Room also provides space to show the work of local artists. The Charles Creek Vineyard Tasting Room and Gallery, open seven days a week from 11 a.m. 6 p.m., is located at 483 First St. West, on the historic Plaza in downtown Sonoma.

3 Unique Performers Highlight February Songwriters in Sonoma

A trio of North Bay singer-songwriters highlight the February edition of Meadowcroft Family of Wines Songwriters In Sonoma series. John Courage, B.C. Fitzpatrick and Judah Nagler headline the 7 p.m. show on Thursday, February 16th in the Meadowcroft tasting room at 23574 Arnold Drive/Hwy 121 in the Cornerstone Sonoma community. Admission to the show is $10 per person. In addition to a full menu of wine selections, cheese plates with charcuterie will be available for purchase as well as a selection from Chef Darbys Hot Pot. Reservations may be made by calling the tasting room at (707) 934-4090 or online at info@meadowcroftwines.com. Songwriters in Sonoma is produced by Meadowcroft Wines and sponsored by MusicNomad.com. The monthly show is booked and hosted by Gerard Serafini, owner of Sonoma Valley Music store who also provides the sound and lighting for the shows. Our continuing Songwriters In Sonoma series gets a little bit edgier this month with the three outstanding performing songwriters, said Tom Meadowcroft, owner and winemaker of Meadowcroft Wines. This show presents an example of the wide-ranging talent that exists in the North Bay area and Sonoma County. Upon returning to Sonoma County after a residence in Santa Fe, New Mexico, John Courage assembled The Great Plains consisting of friends Francesco Catania on lead guitar and keyboards; Kevin Carducci on bass and Dan Ford on drums. Laden with rich vocal harmonies and a unique take on the genre, they have recorded a soon-to-be-released CD, all the while garnering a nod for the 2011 Best Americana Band by the North Bay Bohemian. As a solo performer, John has opened shows for Ramblin Jack Elliot, Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen, The Devil Makes Three and many others. Born in San Francisco, B.C. Fitzpatrick spent most of his life in small towns north of the Golden Gate Bridge. When asked about his music and what he does, he replies that he tends to reflect on his youth and the immeasurable hours he spent unsupervised exploring his hometown. And when he thinks about it now, not much has changed since then, since he still continues to rummage the dry creek beds, railroad yards and eucalyptus groves in search of another song. Judah Nagler is an internationally travelled musician and Sonoma County native living in Petaluma, who writes and performs in The Velvet Teen and Odd Bird. He has performed in Europe, Japan and all over the U.S. with bands such as Deathcab for Cutie, Cursive, Minus the Bear, Mew, P.O.S. and Jimmy Eatworld. Never satisfied with treading the same ground, his sound is not easily pigeonholed, but his songs share the common thread of his voice and experience. Meadowcroft Family of Wines includes the Meadowcroft, Thomas Henry and Foyt Family labels. The tasting room is located within the Cornerstone Sonoma complex that features 24 world class gardens, art galleries and cutting edge design shops all set among acres of vineyards. Meadowcroft Family of Wines is open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The venue is available for private parties, private tastings, wine dinners and other events. With plenty of free parking at Cornerstone Sonoma, the area is a perfect setting for any type of event, both indoors or outdoors. For information or to make reservations, call (707) 934-4090.

Most Bay Area residents have never had a reason or even knew they could go out to Treasure Island. I cant tell you how many people have approached me and have said how easy it was to get to the island and how beautiful Treasure Island is. It only takes ten minutes from downtown San Francisco and the muni 108 runs every 20 minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, said, co-founder Charles Ansanelli. As we move forward to our second year we look to add even more unique shopping, DIY classes, entertainment and new specialty foods, like a seafood grotto with live lobsters and shell fish.

Livermore Cabernet has bested the lot of em more than 3000 entries to take Best Red bragging rights at the 2012 San Francisco Chronicle Competition. Kudos to winemaker Mark Clarin for this outstanding achievement, and one of which every Livermore Cabernet lover can be proud. The 2008 Livermore Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve ($36) outscored its way to the top through a thick field of Cabernets, including submissions by a dozen other Livermore wineries and strong competition from big Napa names. Among other Livermore locals bringing home the bacon were Bent Creek, who won Best of Class for their 09 Cabernet and Cuda Ridge, who scored Best of Class for their 09 Merlot. Wente scored gold for their 07 Merlot and Best of Class for Syrah under the nth degree label. Thomas Coyne, too, brought home Best of Class for their Quest Rhone blend, at $24, a veritable steal.

Acacia Vineyard
Continued from page 28
The Acacia system has been developing since vines were planted in Carneros. Long before any grapes have been crushed, attention to lots of details has to have taken place; meticulous pruning, careful canopy and cluster management, planting beneficial cover crops within the vineyards, and constant monitoring of all facets of the vineyard environment are required to produce the best grapes. Once judged ready for picking, every lot is harvested and sorted by hand only perfect grapes go into Acacia Chard, Pinot or any other wine. The winemaking is equally as detail-oriented, focusing on gentle handling and extraction, by-hand punch downs for reds and barrel fermentations for whites. The tasting room next to the winery is, naturally, the best place to try these wines and see the winemaking in action, and the enthusiastic staff are happy to pour their best, accompanied by some of the best views in the Valley. Acacias Pinot Noirs exhibit seductive flower, tea, and fruit aromas, and they showcase layered fruit flavors complimented by spice notes. Equally, Acacias Chardonnays show off opulent aromas of fruit and citrus, and oak is used only as accent to generous fruit and spices. In addition to several different vineyard-
designated bottling of these classics, the tasting room also pours other exclusive releases, which include Sauvignon Blanc and Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah and Viognier. Dont skip these they show off what happens when winemaker Matthew Glynn gets to play a bit. Even with all of the above, its their events which make Acacia our current tasting room of the week, and this springs Carneros fun doesnt disappoint! Saturday, February 11th brings the Mardi Gras Luncheon, focused on great festivity and a whole lot of merrymaking in combination with wine and a menu full of New Orleans classics like crab cakes with remoulade, Shrimp n Grits, Jambalaya and sweet cornbread muffins. Equally, the weekend of March 9th to the 11th brings the March Madness Barrel Tasting Weekend, and theres nothing like barrel tasting as it gives access to the wines before theyve been finalized in the bottle! The good times dont stop there, though, as Sunday, March 25th delivers the Pizza & Pinot Party, and Saturday, April 28th displays local, fresh and sustainable products in the Farmers Market Lunch. Each of these events shows why Acacia knows its stuff: fun times, good food and great wines. Go taste for yourself and youll agree. Enjoy!
Alderbrook Winery
Continued from page 52
comfortable atmosphere perfect for hosting corporate and special events. The long tasting bar spans one side of the room. Behind the bar, youll find tasting room personnel who are friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. In my humble opinion, they have good reason to be enthusiastic, because the wines at Alderbrook are excellent and reasonably priced. I tasted a bunch of wines during my visit and loved them all, but I only have room to write about a couple, so here goes 2007 Estate Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley ($28) This is one spicy Zinfandel! Aromas and flavors of black pepper, baking spices, ripe blackberry and mocha abound, all wrapped up in a smooth, juicy mouthfeel. In a word, yum! 2007 Zinfluence (Zinfandel-based blend, $32) This delicious wine reminded me of the holiday season in a glass aromas of gingerbread, orange peel, spice potpourri, plum and blackberry continue as flavors in the richly textured mouthfeel. Alderbrook just released its 2009 Pinot Noir not only in the winery, but for distribution across the continental U.S. ($32). Its been eight years since we last distributed a wine. We think this Pinot is worthy of the honor, says Benjamin Downing, Floor Supervisor. Its very fruit forward with essence of strawberries and cherry cordials; high acidity with a spicy mid-palate and long finish. Along with the excellent wines, Alderbrook Winery offers a generous selection of jams, mustards, sweet treats, gift items, including art by local artists, logoed clothing (hats, t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, etc), servingware, glassware, books and toys. Come sit by the fire with a glass of your favorite wine and play a game of chess, checkers, cards, dominoes or cribbage. If the weather is nice, step outside and play a game of corn hole, bocce or bring your dog and play in the backyard.
Visit Alderbrook Winery take your time, enjoy some fabulous wines and maybe do a little shopping. Youll be glad you did!
