INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER
BY LEN NAPOLITANO
How do I learn to appreciate fine wine?
Recently, a friend of mine admitted that he knows nothing about
wine or what makes one wine better than another. He was clearly
frustrated that he could not communicate exactly what it is he likes
or dislikes in a wine. When he tastes something that he does find
appealing, the only descriptive word he can conjure up is “smooth.”
I explained that learning to appreciate fine wine is a process that
can take years. The good news is that it involves tasting a great
number of wines. Unfortunately for him, he simply didn’t drink wine
often enough to build a mental database of wines and their flavor
profiles to draw comparisons among wines.
The first requirement of a fine wine is to be true to the grape

and search “Wineology.”

varietal and a key aspect in the appreciation of fine wine is learning to
identify the characteristic flavors and components in the popular
varietals – the individual fruit flavors, level of sweetness, acidity or
tannin. Over time, you learn what to expect from a Cabernet
Sauvignon versus a Pinot Noir, for example. And, evaluating how
they all play out on your palate is part of this step.
Once you get comfortable with identifying varietal flavors and
components, teach yourself to think about the wine’s individual
personality or style. When tasting, keep in mind contrasting
descriptions like these; balanced or unbalanced components,
lingering finish or short finish, powerful or bland, lively or dull,
complex or one-dimensional, elegant or plain, and don’t forget –
smooth or coarse. Ask yourself if any of these words describe the
wine’s style, or think of some of your own.
Then store your experience in your wine memory bank. The next
time you taste a Cabernet Sauvignon, for example, think back to your
impressions of previous tastings of Cabernets. Is your general
impression better, worse, or the same as most other Cabernets that
you’ve tasted.
To some, the steps of learning, confirming and comparing may
seem difficult, but it really is easier than it appears. If you taste with
focus and frequency, you will eventually become more discriminating
in your wine opinions and more eloquent than my good friend who
finds his favorite wines to always be “smooth.”

BY JOSH STEIN
To oak or not to oak? So many decisions.
Driving through wine country right now, as
harvest is reaching its peak, gives your nose just as
many interesting things as your eyes. One of my
favorite post-workday joys is cruising past wineries
at night with the top down, smelling the
fermentations sweetly giving way to wines ready for
barrels. Or not. I also enjoy that the decisions
being made about so many thousands and
thousands of gallons of wine aren’t mine to make as
when the grapes come in, those winemakers have to
make decisions about oak usage and logistics almost
from the start, and there are lots of choices awaiting.
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 to alleviate any
underripe “green” aromatics or flavor compounds from
methoxypyrazines, which contribute cigar or tobacco at low levels
12
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.
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 aduncts:
winemakers have choices that range from oak source
(American, French, Hungarian 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. It’s great to
have choices, but there are lots of decisions to make.Photo courtesy of Del

HILL WINE COMPANY
BY ALEXANDRA CHARSLEY
HILL WINE COMPANY
Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. reservations are recommended
(707) 963-7000 | www.hillwinecompany.com
Reservations can also be made at www.cellarpass.com

Hill Wine Company is a family owned and operated winery located along the
winding, scenic Silverado Trail in St. Helena. This quiet back road has a different feel
and attitude that makes for an adventurous trip. They are a family and dog friendly
winery that is relaxing, innovative and an essential visit while staying in Napa Valley.
Upon the drive in, you are surrounded by the lush landscaping and get the chance
to walk through their olive grove and picnic area. Stroll along the Napa River or around
the courtyard before heading into their Craftsman-inspired tasting room. Hill Wine
Company offers seated tastings in an intimate atmosphere where you are guided
through the various wines, their appellations and specialized winemaking techniques.
Each setting displays original artwork and stunning views while tasting the current
releases of their Black Dog Series. The décor is modern yet keeping with the period of
the house and with the large windows it is light and bright so no matter what season,
you will enjoy the views, company and wine.
To further explore the Hill Wine Company’s Estate production, schedule a tour and
tasting. You will be met on the tasting room porch with a glass of Estate Sauvignon
Blanc. Tour their estate olive orchard where your guide will explain why the Italian
olives organically grown here create award-winning olive oils. Continue into their
winery and taste the Estate Chardonnay and see how their wines are made as well as
get an up close look at their one-of-a-kind concrete wine tanks. Your tour will continue
into the barrel room where you will taste their Estate Merlot while seeing the vast
amounts of French Oak barrels and tanks. Here you will learn about how their wines
are aged and allow the creation of complex flavors to develop. Lastly, find yourself back

The man behind Louis M. Martini
Luxury Lot Cabernet Sauvignon wines!
BY MONICA L. DASHWOOD

Michael Martini, third-generation winemaker keeps the family
tradition alive with his range of exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon
wines. At Louis M. Martini winery, just off Highway 29 in St. Helena,
Michael Martini continues his father’s, and grandfather’s pioneering
talents, bringing his vast experience and old world, European
influence to his wines.
Growing up on family vineyards, Michael Martini got a hands-on
education in the art of crafting world-class wines, developing his
own style of balance and rich texture to the Louis M. Martini
Cabernet Sauvignon blends. He formally studied viticulture at the
University of California, Davis, immersing himself in a worldrenowned winemaking program. After graduation, in 1977, Michael
worked closely alongside his father, Louis P. Martini, before taking
the reins as winemaker.
In 1981, wanting international experience, Michael traveled
throughout France with legendary California winemaker Andre
Tchelistcheff to explore artisan winemaking techniques in Bordeaux
and Burgundy. Today, much of what Michael learned in France has
been applied in Cellar 254, the micro-winery that is steps away from
his office in St. Helena. Here, Mike and his team of winemakers
make small lots of hand-crafted Cabernet Sauvignon.
Michael Martini takes pride in the Lot wines, dating back to 1968
when Louis P. Martini, first made luxury Cabernet Sauvignon wines
from selected barrels which he named by lot numbers. Michael
continues his father’s tradition, crafting these distinguished wines
from Napa Valley mountain and benchland vineyards to produce, for
example, an exceptional bottle of Louis M. Martini 2009 Lot No. 1
Cabernet Sauvignon.
Full bodied and complex, the Louis M. Martini 2009 Lot No. 1
Cabernet Sauvignon is a favorite of not only Michael Martini’s but
consumers alike. This exceptional wine captures the essence of Napa
Valley’s distinctive terroir. The opulent ruby color alludes to the deep,
intense dark fruit flavors of blackberry and plum. Rich aromas and
flavors of black cherry and cassis are framed by toasted sweet oak
notes and hints of chocolate and brown spice. Velvety, plush tannins
give this wine a full, luxurious mouth-feel and a long, elegant finish
of concentrated fruit and spice. The 2009 Napa Valley Lot No. 1
Cabernet Sauvignon was aged in 100 percent French oak barrels, 94
percent of which was new and 6 percent used, for a total of 21
months.
As with the Lot No. 1 wine, what matters most to Michael when
making the perfect wine is the location and says so himself. “First off,
the wine needs to have a sense of place, whether that is terroir

driven, by an individual vineyard, or a broader appellation driven like
our Napa Valley or Sonoma County wines. There is a reason that
information is on the label. Second, the wine needs to have balance.
All of the components need to play in harmony – the acids, the
tannins, the flavors and aromas. There is no magic in the aging
process thus if you want balance in the end, you need it in the
beginning.”
Since 1906, the Martini family has been making delicious wines,
but even with those years of experience behind them, it’s not easy.
“Winemaking is a great challenge,” says Michael Martini. “The
vineyards are the greatest challenge because they control the quality
of the wine. Whether it is the weather or man’s viticultural practices,
you have to start with good fruit. The second biggest challenge is
patience. Wine requires a lot of it. Mother nature takes her time to
resolve many of the balance issues in the wine, which requires us to
have the patience to allow this to happen.”
As to what Michael loves about making wine? “It’s is a living,
moving target. No two years are alike as no two wines are really alike,
so every individual wine is its own challenge. Like raising children
each needs to be catered to their individual personalities to make
them the best human being possible.”
With Michael working under that ‘Born this Way’ philosophy,
letting nature takes its course and honoring the uniqueness of each
blend, you know the wines made under his supervision have to taste
just right.
“I want people who drink my wines to have a pleasant experience
that they want to come back to, time and time again,” offers Michael.

Steve Urberg
& Bob Iantosca
With crisp, cool, glorious days, autumn is an ideal time to visit the Carneros region
of Sonoma and Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards. Named to National Geographic
Magazine’s Best Trips of 2012 list, the winery offers sweeping views of acres of vinecovered rolling hills ablaze with reds and oranges. Inside the cozy tasting room, which
features windows that bring the outside in and a large stone fireplace, visitors will find
the perfect spot to relax and sip on award-winning sparkling and estate varietal wines
and experience the best of what wine country has to offer.
On a tour of the winery, guests learn how more than 25 years of making sparkling
and estate varietal wines, primarily from grapes grown sustainably on their estate
Carneros vineyards, translates into these highly acclaimed wines that have won more
than 400 gold medals and 30 outstanding 90+ point ratings in the last five years alone.
Most recently, the 2007 Brut Rosé and 2009 Pinot Noir were named Best of Class at the
2012 Sonoma County Harvest Fair, in addition to multiple gold medals.
As harvest turns into winter, the holidays are not far behind, bringing with them
plenty of opportunities to raise a glass to friends and family, making it the perfect time
to stock up on both still and sparkling wines from Gloria Ferrer.

When hosting a party or attending one, nothing fits the bill for a holiday gathering
than a bottle of sparkling wine. Both festive and incredibly food-friendly, Gloria Ferrer
sparkling wines perfectly complement a wide stylistic range of flavors and ingredients.
The forward fruit in sparkling wine provides an ideal counterpart for spicy foods,
while the crisp character and fine bubbles sweep the fat of deep-fried foods from the
palate, refreshing it for the next bite.

Serving seafood, like roasted mussels, lobster, crab, or even
chilled oysters on the half shell? The light-bodied texture and fresh
flavors of sparkling wine present the ultimate marriage. The round,
toasty mid-palate of sparkling wine also stands up well to the many
rich comfort foods, such as triple cream brie or wild mushroom

A visit to Bouchaine Vineyards, the oldest continually operating winery and
southernmost vineyards in the Carneros region, brings you full-circle within the valley’s
winemaking history. First planted by Boon Fly in the mid-nineteenth century, the property,
like much of the Carneros District, was forgotten about until the end Prohibition when the
property was purchased by Johnny Garetto in 1927. After Repeal, he operated the first
winery with a tasting room in the Carneros region. Garetto sold the winery to Beringer
Brothers in 1951, who used the winery for thirty harvests. In 1981, Tatiana and Gerret
Copeland, a successful business couple from Wilmington, Delaware, fell in love with the
property, and thus began the modern-day revitalization which greets visitors today.
An almost total renovation took time but was completed in 1995, updating and
refurbishing the entire winemaking facility and visitor spaces. Guests are now greeted by
the production facilities laid out within the surrounding vineyards such that the rest of the
valley is forgotten about. What surrounds you are vineyards, views and breezes – and not
much else, the way Carneros was at the beginning. You will also see a sign that says that
pets are welcome “by appointment.” Since between two and four winery pups inhabit the
spacious property, the Bouchaine folks are sensitive to the fact that not all canines get along
with each other. Your own is welcome (on a leash); just call first and they will take care of
everything else.
It’s not just the casual atmosphere and attitude which harken back to Carneros’ history.
The wood that covers the winery buildings comes from old fermentation tanks which were
Continued
removed and soaked until they could be straightened. Winemaking
history is literally in the walls. Inside, the light-filled tasting room
gives a cozy embrace, complete with wood-burning fireplace,
necessary much of the year because of the direct proximity to San
Pablo Bay. Outside, there is a redwood deck and pergola which face
gardens, a well-trimmed lawn with a horseshoe pit and olive trees
with vineyards just a few yards beyond, stretching away in all
directions.
What really matters most, of course, is the wine, and visitors can
taste a lot of wonderful bottlings, including a number of tasting
room-only releases in their Bacchus and Estate Collection Wines.
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir star, here, of course, given the locale, but
there are also bottlings of Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Pinot Meunier,
an especially rare solo varietal. Equally, don’t miss the Rosé of Syrah
from the Rockin’ H Vineyard on the Sonoma Coast, the Sonoma
Syrah and a delicious dry Riesling. As every staff member will tell
you, all are made to show off cool-climate grapes and winemaking,
which produces elegant wines made for food. Winemaker Michael
Richmond puts it best: “We want our wines to show lingering flavors
and depth, a smooth texture and just the right level of acidity to pair
with many foods, from the simple to the sublime.”
There are lots of things to enjoy at Bouchaine Vineyards, but
several experiences really set them apart. For those seeking food-andwine fun, there is a special basket of wine country treats to pair with
the outdoor seating area and vineyard views. Each basket includes
lunch alfresco for two served with a bottle of wine, either the Estate
Chardonnay or Carneros Pinot Noir. Multiple baskets can even be
ordered for larger groups. It’s that attention to the little things that
will bring you back to Bouchaine Vineyards again and again as it has
for visitors for a century and half. Enjoy!

Charles Krug Winery To Install Innovative Solar Energy System
the system, part of larger, green plan in place at family-run winery,
will reduce CO2 emissions by 2.5 million pounds per year
The Peter Mondavi Family has announced the next step on the
road to creating a fully sustainable winery, the installation of a 1.2
megawatt solar energy system. Blue Sky Utility, a developer of
comprehensive solar-powered renewable energy systems, is working
with Bright Power, Inc. to design and install the system, which is
scheduled to come online in December. Once completed, the system
will cover more than half of all of the St. Helena estate winery’s
energy needs.
Extremely efficient photovoltaic solar panels will be installed on
the Charles Krug Winery rooftops and atop a new tank canopy to be
built over the winery’s outdoor fermentation tanks. The new canopy
will also provide shade, a welcome bonus during the typically hot
Napa Valley weather at harvest time, and one that will reduce the
energy needed to cool the tanks. The project will also include the
installation of a system designed to draw cooler air into the winery
buildings overnight, further reducing inside temperatures and energy
needs for cooling.
A major motivator for the project was the elimination of an
estimated 2.5 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions per year
from the environment that would have resulted from the
conventional generation of electricity from fossil fuels. The carbon
offset of the Charles Krug solar system is equivalent to planting more
than 6,000 trees.
“This important project reflects our respect for the land our
family has farmed for almost 70 years, across four generations,” said
Peter Mondavi, Jr. “My father, brother Marc and I believe that this is
the right thing to do – because it’s better and healthier for our
winery, for our people, our community and, in the end, for our
customers, too.”
The solar project is just one step in the greening of Napa Valley’s
oldest winery, and the continuing efforts to steward the land while
protecting and preserving Charles Krug’s important historical legacy
are earning new respect for a family long identified with California
wine.
A comprehensive energy study of the historic winery recently was
completed, which will inform the Peter Mondavi family’s continuing
dedication to environmental issues. In 2013, a new lighting project
will use motion sensors to turn winery lighting on and off on
demand, and a redesign of the refrigeration controls for the winery’s
fermentation tanks and in the aging cellars will enable on-demand
control, including automatic shut down during peak hours to
significantly reduce energy usage.
All of these projects are consistent with the Peter Mondavi Family’s
long record of wine industry innovation. Under the leadership of
Peter Mondavi Sr., 97, the winery was the first in Napa Valley to use
cold fermentation in the production of white wines, and the first in
Napa Valley to use French oak barrels for aging wine.
That tradition of innovation continues under sons Marc and Peter
Jr. The brothers were early adopters in Napa Valley, among the first
to convert to sustainable farming practices in all of their estate
vineyards. In 2005, they joined the Fish Friendly Farming Program
(FFF) to help protect fish and wildlife habitat in the Napa River
watershed. They were honored recently for enrolling all winery
properties in FFF’s Green Environmental Program.

When I first moved to Napa, people told me all the characters
were gone from the Valley, having died or moved elsewhere or
gotten out of the business, that the coming of the “corporate age”
heralded the end of idiosyncratic winegrowing and tasting
experiences. Well, I’m here to tell you that iconoclasty is alive and
well just a short drive north of the city of Napa, so close, in fact,
that by the time you’re ready to shift into fourth gear, you’ll be
braking to pull into the world of Razi Winery. As you cross their
bridge over the Napa Creek, you enter the rarefied, oftenoverlooked environs of micro wine production.
Named for its owner, architect Fred Razi, Razi Winery grew out
of a hobby, which became “a very expensive hobby” after he
purchased and began to replant the vineyard to Chardonnay and
built the barrel cellar and winery itself. The result, though, is an
integrated, sleek and modern layout which works well with the
landscape rather than against it. Because the winery is small and
Fred Razi lives onsite, the design includes his home, pool and
landscaped grounds, and guests often taste with either the owner
or the winemaker, getting a personal discussion of the wines and
their production. It is a unique opportunity to taste very limited
production wines (some as low as fifty cases) from a number of
different producers in an estate setting rather than a busy collective.
Whether it’s on the patio feet from the ten-acre Chardonnay
vineyard which provides fruit not just for Razi but several other
well-known Valley producers or sitting on bar stools at their steeltopped tasting counter looking out the window at the vines, the
Razi tasting experience puts the emphasis on tasting the products
of winegrowing. In addition to the Razi wines, a rotating collection
of client releases, including those produced by Razi’s winemaker,
are also poured, making each visit something new. And, given the
small case numbers and location-specific wines on offer, there’s
always a never-seen-again release or two awaiting, which is part of
the idea behind the Silverado Trail ethos of “the road less travelled.”
As Fred will more than likely tell you himself when you go,
“This is a unique environment where one can become absorbed in
wine and food pairings while receiving an education based on
different appellations and terroirs. So, please, come and enjoy!”
Do yourself a favor and give them a call to give yourself some time
well spent away from the ordinary, enjoying the extra-ordinary, a
part of the modern Napa Valley most people never look for or find.
You’ll be glad you did – enjoy!
WiNE COuNtRY tHiS WEEK | NApA VALLEY
Harvest Celebration at B Cellars, November 17
Join B Cellars for their annual harvest event
where guests and wine-club members will get a
chance to preview new release wines, limited
releases from the library, and even taste the
upcoming 2010 reserve wines directly from the
barrel. With exclusive event-only specials, this is
the perfect opportunity to stock your cellar and
get a jump-start on the holiday season. B Cellars
wines will be paired together with mouthwatering hors d’oeuvres from Smoke Open Fire
Cooking. This it the one event of the year not to
miss! $35 per person for the general public, $15
per person for wine club members.
The wines B Cellars produces include a
Cabernet Sauvignon made with fruit sourced from
a trio of distinguished vineyards (for their wines
they draw on a total of 16 premium vineyards).
They also craft three blends: Blend 23
(Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier),
Blend 24 (Cab, Sangiovese and Petite Syrah) and
Blend 25 (Cab and Syrah). The names may not
evoke magic and romance; but the wines
themselves do. They also make a refreshing
Sauvignon Blanc and a vineyard designate Syrah
Caldwell’s Kreuzer Canyon. All of their wines are
made in relatively small lots, from 330 to 1750
cases, and are the result of the efforts of master
winemaker Kirk Venge, named one of the top
twenty young winemakers in the world.
There are a large number of tasting options
available. The Special Celebration Tasting is for
groups of nine to 25 and includes a private tour of
the grounds and cellar and ends in the Salon for a
Flagship Tasting accompanied by B-Bites, as they
call their mini seasonal pairing of food and wine.
There is also the seated Signature Private
Tasting, which includes wines not often seen in
the marketplace, paired with artisan cheese and
charcuterie. The same is true of the Single
Vineyard Private Tasting, where a wine educator
will guide you through their single vineyard
Cabernets and Syrahs. Or in Wine Tasting 101
you can learn to taste wine like the professionals
do, in a casual atmosphere, and how to best pair
food and wine. For other tasting options,
including the Wine Blending Boot Camp, and a
Sensory Wine Tasting with Chef Machamer, visit
their website.
In the end, whichever option you select, or if
you simply stop by as you travel through the
Napa Valley, you will find yourself in a world with
fine wine, and a sensitivity to the part that good
food – and good living – plays in it all.
B Cellars tasting room is open daily from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located at 400 Silverado
Trail, Calistoga, CA 94515. Reservations are
required for many of the special programs and can
be made by calling the winery directly or online.

It might be an understatement to call the two harvests prior to the
2012 crush “interesting,” or even problematic. But this year has gone
a long way to bringing smiles to the grape growers and winemakers.
Weather cooperated, rain stayed away and temperatures were as they
should be. And, no one is happier than Baldacci Family Vineyards’
Rolando Herrera.
Herrera has been winemaker at Baldacci since the 2003 vintage.
With a deep knowledge of Stags Leap wines and vineyards – having
been involved with the region for almost 20 years – he uses that
knowledge to produce premium wines at this small family-owned
winery on the Silverado Trail.
He began his career at Stags Leap Wine Cellars where he spent a
decade, the last seven years as cellar master. He gathered additional
experience at Chateau Potelle in the Mayacamas Mountains high
above the Valley floor and at Vine Cliff Winery. He also had his own
winemaking consulting firm before joining Paul Hobbs Wines in
2001. He also produces wines for his personal label, Mi Sueño.
“When I started talking to Baldacci about coming to work for
them,” he said, “I was very excited because I wanted to get back to
the vineyards of the Stags Leap District. These are the wines I know
and love the best – they have a unique texture and style recognized
everywhere as making the very finest Cabernet Sauvignon. In a way, I
feel as if I’ve came full circle, because I started my career here.”
The winery is the realization of the dream of Tom and Brenda
Baldacci, one that began to come together with the purchase of this
17 acre property in 1997. From the very beginning, the winery has
combined a passion for winemaking with the tradition of family.
The tasting room fits in perfectly. It’s like being in a private wine
cellar of a friend’s home, in this case a restored Napa farm house. The
terrace is also charming, as is the pathway to the humidity and
naturally temperature controlled caves.
As you sit outdoors and sample the wine, look across the
vineyards that are at the core of the winery’s estate Cabernet
Sauvignon program. Here, grapes reach their maximum potential. It
is a wine that shows the commitment to both family and quality in
the IV Sons Cabernet Sauvignon. For one thing it recognizes the four
Baldacci sons. Then there are the four elements: Cabernet Sauvignon
and Cabernet Franc, and aging in French and American oak barrels.
The result is a wine filled with fig and black cherry nuances.
Other wines wearing the Baldacci label are Pinot Noir and more
Cabernet Sauvignon. The Allwin Syrah is another favorite, as is the
limited-production Gewürztraminer and a wine that never fails to
delight: the Chardonnay. But then, you really need to visit to decide.
Documentary about Mike Grgich to Premiere at Napa Valley Film Festival
‘Like the Old Vine’ describes how famed winemaker
achieved his American dream
Miljenko “Mike” Grgich, President and Winemaker of Grgich
Hills Estate and Vintner’s Hall of Fame Inductee, is the subject of
the documentary Like the Old Vine that will premiere at the 2012
Napa Valley Film Festival at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, November 7 at
the Cameo Cinema, 1340 Main Street, St. Helena, CA. Please arrive
20 minutes before show time. Seating is very limited and requires a
reservation. Visit napavalleyfilmfest.org to purchase passes.
Like the Old Vine describes Mike Grgich’s extraordinary life,
achievements and how his “American Dream” became a reality. The
documentary will show some interesting unpublished events about
the 1976 Paris Tasting. Like the Old Vine was filmed by Croatian
Radiotelevision in the Napa Valley, the Smithsonian Institute in
Washington, D.C. and Mike’s birthplace in Desne, Croatia.
Mike Grgich and the documentary’s director, Milka Barišc, will
have a question-and-answer session with the audience following
the screening. Afterwards, attendees are invited to join them in
celebrating this memorable event at a private reception at Grgich
Hills Estate.
Located at 1829 St. Helena Highway (Hwy 29) in Rutherford,
Grgich Hills Estate was founded in 1977 by Vintner Hall of Fame
Inductee Miljenko “Mike” Grgich and Austin Hills after Mike’s
1973 Chardonnay outscored the best of France in the now-famous
1976 Paris Tasting that revolutionized the world of wine.
Today, this iconic winery farms 366 acres naturally, without
artificial fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides, and uses its passion
and art to handcraft food-friendly, balanced and elegant wines.
Mike is assisted by his daughter, Violet Grgich, Vice-President of
Operations, and his nephew, Ivo Jeramaz, Vice-President of
Vineyards and Production. For more information, visit

throughout the year, all paired with Andretti wines. Andretti Winery
is renowned for its portfolio of fine wines featuring traditional
regional varietals, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, as

Last year, Artesa Winery introduced several educational tours and programs for
guests to learn more about the entire winemaking and wine tasting experience. This
year, they have added to the tours with a full slate of six interesting, educational, as

The Estate Reserve Experience starts off with a sparkling wine greeting and a tour

For all of Napa Valley’s world-renown as a wine-tasting
destination, did you know that the valley also has one of only three
“Old Faithful” geysers in the world?
Located at the north end of the valley in Calistoga, Old Faithful
makes for a fun and fascinating afternoon stop between wineries.
About every 30 minutes, visitors to “the geysers” are treated to a firstrate show – an eruption of steam and extremely hot water spraying
60 to 100 feet in the air.
The term “Old Faithful” refers to geysers that erupt on regular
intervals. Water for the Old Faithful Geyser of California comes from
an underground river. When this water flows over the hot molten
magma deep in the earth, it boils, expands and then collects in large
cavities. Under tremendous pressure from the heat, the superheated
water is forced through the fractures and erupts with an outpouring
of steam followed by hot spewing water.
Old Faithful is surrounded by palm trees and thick bamboo,
making for a relaxing and partially shaded setting. There are picnic
tables with umbrellas and a covered seating area, all with excellent
views of the geyser. The gift shop is stocked with snacks such as ice
cream bars, chips and a variety of
drinks, or if you want to make it a
lunch stop, bring in a picnic
lunch from town and a bottle of
wine from one of the nearby
wineries!
Don’t miss some of the other
interesting features at Old
Homewood
Winery
Faithful. Check out the wishing
wells that were once used as hot
mineral therapy pools. There’s
also an informative exhibit area
on geyser eruptions and
earthquake predictions, as well as
a brief history of the town of
Calistoga. And best of all, there’s a
petting zoo with Tennessee
Fainting Goats, Jacob’s Four Horn
Sheep and Guard Llamas.

Following a successful 2011 debut, an
impressive array of Napa Valley-based
celebrity chefs, restaurants, vintners,
sommeliers and artisan food producers are
set to once again headline this year’s Flavor!
Napa Valley food and wine festival,
scheduled for November 14-18.
Napa Valley Chef Michael Chiarello, the
originator of the Flavor! Napa Valley
concept, is joined again this year by fellow
Napa Valley chefs such as Thomas Keller,
Christopher Kostow, Cindy Pawlcyn, Jeffrey
Jake and Masaharu Morimoto. Visiting
graduates of The Culinary Institute of
America include Scott Conant, returning for
his second year, along with Geoffrey
Zakarian, Johnny Iuzzini, Charlie Palmer,
Larry Forgione and all three of his sons –
Marc, Sean and Bryan – cooking a course
together at the opening night tribute dinner
to their father, a chef often referred to as the
“godfather of American cuisine.”
According to festival producer Herb
Karlitz, one of the festival highlights is a twoday tasting of wines “that have and continue
to put Napa Valley on the map, reaching
back to the post-Prohibition wines of the
’40s through the present day.”
On day two, attendees experience special
tributes to legendary winegrower Andy
Beckstoffer and
winemaker
Heidi Barrett.

tAStiNg ROOM OF tHE WEEK | WiNE COuNtRY tHiS WEEK
MARtiN RAY WiNERY
BY MICHELLE J. BAKER
MARTIN RAY WINERY
2191 Laguna Road in Santa Rosa
just 7 miles west of Highway 101
(707) 823-2404 | www.martinraywinery.com
56
The secret is finally out about Martin Ray Winery, the small west Sonoma County winery
that is racking up gold medals for its wines almost quicker than the 13 minutes it takes to
drive there from Highway 101.
Yes indeed, Martin Ray is now proudly displaying the coveted plaque for the Best White
Wine in Sonoma County for 2012. Competing against hundreds of other wines (many two
and three times the price), Martin Ray’s 2011 Angeline Russian River Sauvignon Blanc was
recently named the Sweepstakes White Wine at the prestigious Sonoma County Harvest Fair.
At just $15 retail, this Sauvignon Blanc will wow you for this level of quality at a “stock
up now” price. It’s a simply delicious wine, with lovely fruit character and all of the zip and
zing you would expect from the varietal. It’s perfect as an everyday quaffer for the backyard
or porch, or to pair with light appetizers, cheese course or fish or salad entrees.
Winery proprietor Courtney Benham purchased the Martin Ray brand in 1990 after
discovering 1,500 cases of Martin Ray wines dating back 40 years in an old warehouse in
San Jose. Benham has since put his focus squarely on building a brand known for its quality,
consistency and continuity.
Not only has Martin Ray achieved quality, consistency and continuity, but the quality
comes at a price that make these wines ideal for guilt-free, daily enjoyment. The Best of
Class-winning Rose of Pinot Noir is likely be sold out by now, but visitors can still stock up
on the sweepstakes-winning Angeline Sauvignon Blanc, gold-medal-winning Martin Ray
Russian River Chardonnay ($20) and double-gold-winner Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
($30).
And for serious collectors, Martin Ray has as impressive a vineyard-designated Cabernet
Sauvignon program as you will find in Sonoma County. Sourcing Cabernet from some of the
best vineyards in California, the winery’s current offerings include Cabs from Santa Cruz
Mountains, Sonoma Mountain, and Stags Leap and Diamond Mountain, both in Napa
Valley. The winery has recently released a Bordeaux-style blend, Synthesis, a wine that can
be enjoyed now or laid down for many years.
In 2003, Benham purchased the historic Martini & Prati Winery in west Santa Rosa as
the winery home for both wine production and public visits. In the tasting room, you’ll find
a fun and friendly staff excited to introduce you to what you’ve been missing out on. Some
of the wines at Martin Ray are small-production, vineyard designates available only in the
tasting room. The regular tasting is complimentary; reserve tasting is $5 (refundable with
purchase). The property has a fantastic new wine pavilion which should be available for
events in the near future.
Five Gold Medals for Diane Wilson, Wilson Winery
Well, the results are in for the 2012
Sonoma County Harvest Fair and Diane
Wilson takes home another five gold
medals.
Gold Medals were awarded to 2009
Syrah, Dry Creek Valley, 2009 Cabernet
Franc, Dry Creek Valley, 2010 Bramble
Creek Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley, 2010
Carl’s Reserve Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley
and the 2010 Diane’s Reserve Zinfandel,
Diane Wilson
Dry Creek Valley.
Over the years, Diane Wilson has racked up gold medals vintage
after vintage and across all of the winery’s varietals including Syrah,
Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc, Bordeaux-style red blends, and of
course, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon.
With all of these medals, you might want to consider joining the
Wilson Wine Club. That way you can be guaranteed to get some of
these amazing wines before they are all sold out.
Wilson Winery has the well-earned reputation for being a fun
place to visit. The tasting room staff is friendly and knowledgeable,
and they genuinely enjoy chatting with visitors. The tasting room is
comfortable and well laid out, with the main bar spanning the back
of the room and another bar off to the side for VIP tastings and large
groups. Large windows let in lots of light and watercolors by a local
artist dot the walls, creating a bright, airy atmosphere. The overall
vibe in the tasting room is casual and welcoming.
A tasteful selection of non-wine gift items is artfully laid out for
the discerning shopper, including some dog-related gifts (Wilson
Winery is dog friendly). A refrigerator is stocked with cheeses, cold
cuts, bottled water and chilled wines, making it easy for visitors to
create an impromptu picnic.
Don’t miss the opportunity to taste these critically acclaimed,
award-winning wines in their historic tasting room overlooking the
beautiful Dry Creek Valley. Wilson Winery, 1960 Dry Creek Road in
Healdsburg. The tasting room is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

Season of the Olive Arrives in the Sonoma Valley
three-Month Celebration of All things Olive
Returns to Sonoma for its twelfth Year
The twelfth annual Sonoma Valley Olive Season, a celebration
of the olive harvest and an agricultural and epicurean showcase,
will take place December 2012 through February 2013.
Encompassing a range of exceptional events, culinary thrills and
Valley-wide promotions – from the Blessing of the Olives
ceremony to an elegant Feast of the Olive Dinner – the upcoming
Season of the Olive promises to transform the winter months in
Sonoma into a celebration of the senses.
Commencing on Saturday, December 1, the kick off of the olive
season begins with the traditional Blessing of the Olives ceremony,
set within the historic Mission San Francisco Solano. Following
the initial weekend, key events and promotions are planned
Valley-wide in honor of the three-month celebration. In addition,
local restaurants and lodging properties will offer olive season
packages and promotions, including exclusive olive-inspired
menu items and spa treatments throughout the winter months.
Throughout the Season of the Olive, visitors will have the
opportunity to roll up their sleeves for an olive curing workshop,
attend festive events such as the annual Martini Madness
competition, and enjoy an array of activities from olive oil tastings
and art exhibits to live music, family activities and food and wine
pairings. A complete list of events and promotions can be found
at www.olivefestival.com.
Season of the Olive favorites slated to return this season include
the highly-anticipated Feast of the Olive Dinner on January 25,
2013 at Ramekins Culinary School. This multi-course, oliveinspired ceremonial dinner prepared by Sonoma Valley’s finest
chefs, is one of the Season’s anchor events and is a food-lover’s
paradise. Preceding Feast of the Olive, master bartenders and chefs
will gather to compete for the best martini at the wildly popular
Martini Madness, where patrons can sample each concoction and
place their votes (January 11, 5-7 p.m., location TBD). Then, from
February 15-18, the Season of the Olive will culminate with the
Olive Season Finale Weekend, a magnificent celebration of events,
dinners and tastings, including VinOlivo, an evening epicurean
showcase that includes live entertainment and a Sonoma Valley
Marketplace; and Olive Odyssey, a two-day affair held at Jacuzzi
Family Vineyards, where olive expert Don Landis and olive curers
from all over California convene to offer samples, recipes, lessons
and delicious olive-themed food and wine pairings. The Season of
the Olive’s Finale Weekend is a guarantee to impress even the
impossible-to-please foodie.
For a comprehensive calendar of Season of the Olive events,

WINE TASTING, SALES
& HOME ACCESSORIES
Sonoma Plaza, a National Historic Landmark, is
originally home to the last of the chain of 21
California missions. Throughout its colorful
history – including the Bear Flag Revolt where the
California state flag was first raised in 1842 – the
small-town epicenter is now home to some 25
gourmet dining establishments, 40 boutique shops
and art galleries as well as 18 unique tasting
rooms. A well-known tourist destination, visitors
come to Sonoma to experience the idyllic Wine
Country lifestyle. Sure, doublewide tractors may
grace the two-lane Highway 12, wide-open
ranchlands blanket the valley between towns, and
wooly sheep keep weeds and grasses minimal in
the vineyards. But, no doubt, you will also find
countless award-winning wineries and world-class
restaurants in Sonoma. Sonoma is all about life,
about taste and enjoying each day.

A Festival for Beer, Wine and Mushroom Lovers
Dozens of winery tasting rooms are dotted around the county with
a myriad of wines to tickle the most discerning wine lover’s fancy.
Add in world-class brewpubs with their multitude of beers, ales,
stouts and special brews to suit every taste. Then, finish the mix with
the more than 3,000 types of mushrooms that pop up in the county
every year, and you’ve got a veritable feast for the senses!
Every fall, beginning in October when the gentle rains begin, the
mushrooms flourish in abundance. It’s the perfect place to sample
and pick delicious edible mushrooms such as chanterelles, porcinis,
morels and hedgehogs, and even the extremely rare candy cap
mushroom, a culinary treat with an intense maple syrup flavor, which
grows only along the northern coast of California.
The highlight of mushroom season is Mendocino County’s annual
ten-day Beer, Wine & Mushroom Festival, November 2-11, that
features a myriad of events including mushroom dinners, wine- and
beer-pairing workshops, mushroom exhibits, guided mushroom
foraging walks and much, much more.
There’s even a passport event that you can join in – visit wineries
and breweries to enter a drawing for a VIP Grand Prize Package!
Throughout the festival, stop in at one of the 37 wineries and
breweries listed on the brochure map, while you discover Mendocino
County, “America’s Greenest Wine Region.” Get your passport
stamped at each participating winery or brewery you visit. Collect at
least three stamps to enter the drawing for a fabulous Mendocino
County Grand Prize. Visit three or more wineries or breweries on
both Wine & Beer Trails and your entries are doubled. Entries must
be received no later than Friday, November 30. Drawing takes place
in December and winners will be notified by e-mail or phone.
Climb aboard the Beer, Wine & Mushroom Train, indulge yourself
with a gourmet mushroom feast, then cozy up by the fire at the end
of your perfect day in one of Mendocino County’s unique inns and
rest up so you can start the next day with a cooking class, join a
foraging adventure, attend a performance, take an art walk, or simply
relax and do nothing at all.
Plan your trip at www.visitmendocino.com where you can
download a brochure that outlines all of the events and includes a
map of the 37 participating wineries and breweries. New events are
added daily. For more information, call 1-866-466-3636.

any time and enjoy a leisurely wine tasting at the old Farmhouse.
Then, feel free to hang out on the wraparound porch and drink in the
views.
Come and discover new territory! Plan a stay in the guesthouse
and explore the Mendocino Coast or visit the ancient redwoods.
Great wine, friendly people, natural beauty all around – what are you
waiting for? Mendocino is more than a place, it’s a state of mind.

November Brings A Cornucopia of Thanks Giving
BY LAURA NESS
With the arrival of November, the pace of life impossibly
quickens. How could it get any crazier, we wonder, as the impending
holidays drive us inexorably forward as if smacked by an invisible
whip. Some vineyards will still be hanging fruit, awaiting the final
pick of the season, while others will be thankfully pressing off last
fermentations into barrel, ready to put a fork in the 2012 harvest,
pop the cork and commence celebrating. It’s been quite a season,
with great yields, good chemistry and outstanding flavors. We can’t
wait to begin barrel tasting after the wines get through malolactic.
This year brought a particularly bountiful harvest to Loma Prieta,
where they picked nearly seven tons of estate Pinot Noir, along with
two tons of estate Pinotage. This high elevation site, at 2600 ft, is the
only vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains to grow both of these
varietals. Loma Prieta also sourced another 23 tons of awesome
looking Pinotage from the Amarosa Vineyard in Lodi and the Karma
Vineyard in Amador. Stay tuned for the Pinotage Release Party,
December 1 and 2.
Meanwhile, Burrell School holds its Fall Sippers Club party on
November 3rd and 4th, and a Cellar Alumni Sale on November 23rd
through 25th, where there are sure to be some fascinating older
vintages to revisit.

passport to thanksgiving, November 17
The Summit to Sea wineries welcome you to “Passport to
Thanksgiving,” on Saturday, November 17. All the wineries will be
offering specials on Pinot Noir, the ultimate holiday table wine.
thanksgiving dinner demands pinot!
There’s nothing like Pinot to make poultry sing – whether it’s
chicken, duck, turkey or all three in one! Have you ever done
Turducken? Give it a shot. It’s great with a stuffing of wild rice and
cranberries, glazed with a combination of Tabitha’s Onion Jam and
B&R Farms apricot red pepper topping, both available at Poetic
Cellars.
And speaking of stuffing, add some of that Loma Prieta Pinotage
to your holiday beverage menu also: it’s got the stuffing to hold up to
whatever is on the menu, including lamb, ham or goose. Plus, it’s fun
to say, and it makes a great wine for toasting all those friends and
family for which you give thanks, as you count your bounty of
blessings. May you and yours be rewarded with an abundance of
good health and happiness this holiday season.

Musical Wine by the Singing Winemaker
BY KIMBERLY HORG-WEBB
Music and wine lovers can have the both of best worlds by tasting
musically inspired wines with live music by the singer/winemaker
who goes by the name: The Singing Winemaker (aka Steve Powell).
Steve’s signature wines are his red varietals but he offers every type
of wine ranging from Dolcissimo, a musical term meaning “very
sweetly” for a Cabernet Sauvignon blush; a white Scherzando,
(musical term for playful) for his, light summer white wine; a tawny
Port; a late harvest Zin dessert wine along with peach, raspberry and
almond sparkling wines. “We focus on red but provide wine for all
palates, there is something in the tasting room for everyone,” he said.
“We have great wines and the best wine tasting experience.” The
Singing Winemaker has not released a new red wine in a year, so this
summer he is back in action, releasing six wines. Each will have a
release party during the summer with wine and food pairings for
guests and of course, music for every age and taste performed by The
Singing Winemaker.
Many of his wines have musical names including his Harmony
blend made with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Old Vine
Zinfandel. The Singing Winemaker’s popular Melody which is a
blend of Malbec and Tempranillo is always a crowd pleaser along
with another favorite, Amador County Barbera, which is a robust
Italian varietal.
The Singing Winemaker will take you on a journey
with Great Wine, Great Music and a Great Experience
A unique tasting experience celebrating
Truth, Beauty and Goodness
through Wine, Music and Art!
Open Friday‐Sunday from 12 to 5pm
Extended hours often in the summer.
Private tasting and pairings are
offered by appointment.
