INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER

BY LEN NAPOLITANO
Do you have any suggestions for giving wine as gifts?

There are two ways to choose wine as a gift when you know little or nothing about the recipient. You can decide on a certain style of wine based on his or her personality, or you can choose a wine that carries some personal meaning with it. For example, if I am choosing a wine gift for someone who lives out of state I always choose to give a California wine. People living in other states dont always have the same selection of California wines that we are accustomed to here. But more important, I like to choose a wine from a relatively small, lesser-known producer that does not have nationwide distribution. Ask your local wine merchant for help on selecting a wine from a smaller California winery that makes wines of distinction. Ill also give a gift of wine from wineries that Ive personally visited. Its nice being able to add a story to the gift-giving moment taken from my own experience at the winery. You can learn a lot on a short visit to a winerys tasting room--how the winery originated, a fascinating biography of the owner something unusual that adds interest to the gift. When you get down to selecting the particular style of wine for someone whose preference youre unsure of, here are a few tips that may help: Champagne and Sparkling Wines: A safe bet in practically any situation, but avoid low-price choices. Pinot Noir: A very versatile wine that would be appreciated by either a devotee of red wines or white wines. Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot: The perfect gift for the outdoor grilling-loving meat eater. Bordeaux: For the traditionalist or the history lover. It costs a little more, but it will be greatly appreciated. Chianti Classico Reserva: Nothing says amore better than one of Italy's finest wines.

Good to Know Before Heading to the Wineries

BY CHARLES NEAVE
For the most part, going wine tasting is about the easiest thing in the world, especially here in California where wineries and tasting rooms abound. You can find wineries specializing in red wines of all types, those that are famous for their white wines and others who pour sparkling wine. It is a matter of doing a little research and planning your day. Most tasting rooms open around 10 a.m. and close between 4:30 and 6 p.m. Here are some tips that have proven to be helpful and are designed to help make the sensory adventure of wine tasting all the more enjoyable. Before you start off pack a few essentials: Water (plenty of water) and something to snack on crackers or a baguette. Many wineries have picnic areas and there are plenty of delis and bakeries that can make up a lunch for you, or make your own. Which brings us to eating and drinking, the kind that doesnt directly involve wine. Be sure to nibble during the day and make sure you make time for lunch. Two tips: drink at least twice as much water as you do wine, and remember that you dont have to drink everything poured into your glass. There is a reason tasting bars have dump buckets and a pitcher of water to wash out your glass. Dont be afraid to ask questions. Time and time again I have heard knowledgeable winery workers say that there is no such thing as a stupid question, and they mean that. You can drink what you want, in the order you want. If you only like
reds, say so; if you dont like sweet wines, speak up. But the idea of starting with whites, then going on to reds and then sweet wines is a good guide. Zinfandel is red. I am sure you know that but it never hurts to remind everyone. If there is a particular wine you want to try and it is not on the list, ask. There might be a bottle around that was opened for a trade tasting or by the winemaker. Most tasting rooms are happy to pour a little if you show enthusiasm. Take notes on the wines you most enjoyed. Take advantage of tours when the winery offers them, but keep in mind that they take anywhere from 20 minutes to well over an hour, so one a day is plenty. Buy wines that you can only find at the winery. These often include smaller (375 ml) bottles of limited production Ports or dessert wines. Dont buy a wine you can get at a supermarket back home. Youll pay more, and besides, whats the point? Look for tasting rooms in towns. Many of these are cooperative tasting rooms, where in one place you might find wines from a dozen or more small-to-medium premium producers. They are scattered throughout the area and more are opening all the time. Dont give too much thought to ratings and vintages. Its like art: if you like it, its a good wine. It is as simple as that. Remember that you dont have to do the driving. It takes no more than a phone call hire a transportation company to do the driving.

BY JOSH STEIN
Two Ways to Produce Bubbles with Very Different Results

Ever been handed a random glass of sparkling wine at an event or someones house, from which you eagerly sipped, expecting creaminess and length, but which instead gave nothing but disappoitment in the insipid, sweet, bubbled white or pink grape juice actually in the glass? No, it wasnt you, and no, all bubbles are not created equal or equally. Blame soda for ever making you think otherwise since thats essentially how that wine was made. There may be a lot of wine with bubbles out there, but not all are sparkling wines in the way we usually assume. Inexpensive sparkling wine tastes cheap not necessarily because of inexpensive grapes (though they dont help) but because of an inexpensive production process, called the Charmat or bulk process, which accelerates the fermentation and thus the carbonation, creating an artificially-tasting mouthfeel on the tongue. Through the use of glass-lined pressure tanks, carbon dioxide can also be injected into the wine, giving it carbonation ala soda water. The result of either looks like sparkling wine, but it sure doesnt give the same pleasures since with wine the time taken in production is reflected in the mouthfeel of the finished wine itself. It is literally a case of tongue beware! Indeed, without considerble time on the lees, the spent yeast and other fermentation by-products, the creaminess we associate with a sparkling wine wont be present, which is why the bubbles dont have the same mouthfeel. This latter, methode traditionelle, process produces the bubbles as part of a long, slow fermentation on the yeast in individual bottles and is what creates the luxuriously creamy yet fruity essence of proper sparkling wine or its various pseudonyms around the world (cava, prosecco, Asti, Champagne, etc.). Its no joke that patience is rewarded in sparkling wines. The timeframe is completely different for each methodology, and that has the impact on the finished product. Equally, because the pressure tanks are proportionally so much larger than a sparkling wine bottle, the liquid-to-solids ratio is far different. What produces the creaminess of the mouthfeel in aged sparkling wines is precisely the length of time in contact with the fine lees thats what forms the modern day frozen bolt that each bottle releases during disgorgement before final bottling. Producers will sometimes move sparkling wines into other glass sizes before bottling in the finished glass for this reason: the right ratio really matters to the aging. In fact, all of the packaging for these wines has to be specially designed because sparkling wine is under pressure as this natural carbonation slowly builds, hence the familiar wire cage to make sure the cork cannot shoot out of the bottle. Thus, unlike a lot of other things in the world today, you really do get what you pay for with fine sparkling wines and their natural bubbles produced the low and slow way first recognized by winemasters Francesco Scacchi and Dom Prignon all those centuries ago in Europe. Any sparkling wine made the traditional way will indicate as such on the label because the imposters legally cannot, and given the time, expense and headaches involved, those who can want credit where its due! At your next event, ask to see the bottle before you imbibe and if anyone gives you a funny look, now youve got a conversation starter for those awkward event beginnings when no one knows what to talk about. Enjoy!

ROMBAUER VINEYARDS
Great Napa Valley Wines Decade after Decade
BY JOSH STEIN
ROMBAUER VINEYARDS Wine tasting daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m 3522 Silverado Trail North, St. Helena CA 94574 1-800-622-2206 | www.rombauer.com
Rombauer Vineyards is one of those wineries: everyone has known for more than three decades that if it says Rombauer on a bottle, you can be guaranteed a high quality, soulful wine to go with food, bringing enjoyment to all who partake. The Rombauer philosophy is called the Joy of Wine-crafting releases meant to pair with meals, echoing Great Aunt Irma Rombauers belief that the joy of life is the pursuit of what is best to taste and enjoy. Now at year thirty-four and known for decades as a Napa Valley must visit, its clear to see and taste that they have found a winning formula. How? By keeping the emphasis on what matters: drinkable wines and an enjoyable experience the food and the people matter most, not the attitude! The proof is the gold and double-gold medals and high scores their releases have all earned, not to mention their status as one of Wine & Spirits Magazines top restaurant wine selections in their annual poll. The winery itself is on the north-east Silverado Trail, giving a fun drive and showing off glorious views and uncrowded experiences on the road less travelled. The hilltop winery and tasting room, looking out over the heritage Zinfandel vineyard visitors drive through along the way, are built over more than a miles worth of caves dug into the hillside. Picnic tables and a trellised gazebo let you know from the outset what matters most: relaxed enjoyment. Tastings are

available daily at three separate tasting bars in the tasting room, as is the self-guided garden stroll through the more than one hundred plant and flower species, and the views of the Mayacamas are photo-worthy, for sure. A flight of classic releases await. The wines are just as much a standout as the views, and fitting in with their ethos, the Rombauers really have thought through the logistics of pairing wine and food, not just in terms of varietals but also in offering multiple bottle sizes, ranging from 375 milliliter halfbottles, to the standard 750 milliliter bottle we all know so well, to 1.5-liter magnums and even larger formats for occasions requiring something extra special. What awaits are several different Chardonnays, Merlots, Zinfandels and a range of Cabernets and Cab-based bottlings, including the best of vintage red blend, Le Meilleur du Chai. There are also two terrific sweets, a Zinfandel port and the Late Harvest Chardonnay known simply and unsurprisingly as Joy. Koerner Rombauer III, the next generation, has stepped into maintaining the winerys way of doing things with aplomb. Lots of winery-only releases await, and visitors in search of the real Napa experience need look no further. Unlike a lot of other places throughout the Valley, many of which simply dont yet have enough vintages under their belt, the winery has managed to find a balance between a distinguished past and new, exciting bottlings. The result is a Napa Valley standard-bearer which is quite consistent in making great wines. Theres a reason the name Rombauer brings such great associations and why theyre still winning so many golds after three decades; come taste for yourself and find out why youll be glad you did. Enjoy!

PRAGER Winery and Port Works

BY ALEXANDRA CHARSLEY
PRAGER WINERY AND PORT WORKS Open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. | Open at 11 a.m. on Wednesdays & Sundays 1281 Lewelling Ln, St Helena, CA 94574 (707) 963-7678 | www.pragerport.com
Wine country in autumn offers guests gorgeous views of the multicolored sprawling grapevines, delicious smells of harvest, and a frenzied glimpse at winemaking. Its also the ideal time to discover the newly released ports at Prager Winery and Port Works in St. Helena. They have an impressive portfolio of ports, wines, chocolates and vinegars that are essential for entertaining this holiday season. Port wine is hip, cool and not just for your grandparents anymore. The Prager assortment of ports offers a wide range of versatility, refinement and elegance. Drink these as a finale to your evening or become a mixologist and create a sensational cocktail using port wine. This family owned and operated winery has been hand-crafting various styles of Port since their first harvest in 1979. Founded by Jim and Imogene Prager, the winerys first vintage included Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and a Cabernet Port. Their kids now handle all the winerys operations but Imogene still makes her caramelized walnuts as the perfect complement to their port wine. They have a brand new tasting bar made from the heart redwood beams used in their barrel room. Look across the bar and they have carefully placed small trinkets inside some of the wood knots and finished over them. They kept the barrels behind the tasting bar and kept all the Prager character that many have come to love. Wine tastings are $20 for a flight of five premium ports and wines and they are currently pouring two wines and four different ports and you get to keep your glass! While they do produce some ports in an old world vintage style, they have taken a classic and made it modern and a little edgier. Their port wines can be enjoyed now and arent cloyingly sweet and over the top but still possess ample liveliness.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINERY FEATURE
Their flagship port is the Royal Escort and in special years a Royal Escort Vintage Port. This port is made with 100% Petite Sirah grapes from the Paladini Vineyard in St. Helena and happens to be my favorite port they produce. The rich deep garnet color lends to a fresh pressed berry bouquet followed by ripe cherries on the palate and is well balanced. The newly released Noble Companion 10-yearold Tawny Port is made from the 2002 vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon and has a golden-orange hue with hints of light caramel, toasted hazelnut and vanilla. This port would easily pair with charcuterie and cheese or a decadent dessert. While the Pragers source fruit throughout Napa Valley they have also planted the traditional Portuguese varietals of Tinta Roriz, Tinta Cao and Touriga in Calistoga. This gives them the opportunity to add structure, depth and versatility to their ports. The newly released 2009 Prager Port is a blended port produced from Petite Sirah grapes and their Portuguese varietals. The depth and structure of the Petite Sirah compliments the soft fruit notes of the Portuguese varieties, resulting in an age-worthy port with many layers of flavors. The 2009 Aria White Port is their newest vintage and is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes and then aged in oak barrels for three years. This port is what I use to make a classic Portuguese apritif that is crisp and refreshing any time of the year. It also makes an ideal cocktail to start your party and pairs well with seafood and a variety of hors doeuvres. They also offer Chocolate Port Drizzle, which is delicious over bread pudding or ice cream and port-filled chocolates both made with their Prager Port by Anettes Chocolates in Napa. These along with their balsamic vinegar make great holiday gifts. All port, wine and gift items are available exclusively in their tasting room or online at www.pragerport.com.

POPE VALLEY WINERY

Turn left and go back 100 years
Along a winding country road, up an unpaved drive and past Gus, a big, friendly, chocolate lab, youll find one of the most unpretentious, down-toearth tasting rooms around. The Pope Valley, one of the California wine regions hidden treasures, is home to the Pope Valley Winery. This serene, bucolic setting offers a wine tasting experience far, far away from the ostentatious fare to be found at some of the more well-known wine country destinations. Here, you will be treated less like a visitor and more like a friend. To reach the Pope Valley Winery requires a leisurely country drive that is, in itself, a significant part of the experience. Winding through picturesque fields, undulating vineyards and oak-studded hills, one gets the feeling of being transported back in time. The pace here is slower, more peaceful than the flurry and commotion found along the main thoroughfares of the Napa Valley. Photo opportunities present themselves around every bend in the road. A visit to Pope Valley Winery allows wine lovers to step back in time and experience 40 acres of history. The bubbling sounds of Haus Creek can be heard as you roam the grounds of this historic winery. The original farmhouse still graces the property, as well as a blacksmiths workshop, complete with the tools of the trade. The winery itself is housed in a historic building that was designed; before electricity was brought to the site. It was fashioned as a three-story gravitational flow winery with a hand-dug cave, to allow the wine to flow from crusher, to press, to barrel. The Pope Valley Winery was founded in 1897 by Ed Haus as Burgundy Winery & Olive Oil Factory. A century later in 1997, the Eakle family, purchased the historic winery and gave it a new life as Pope Valley Winery. In 2009, the next generation of Eakles stepped in to continue building and furthering the familys vision for Pope Valley Winery as a fine winemaking

Ca Momi A Taste of Italy in Napas Oxbow Market

Follow the aroma of wine and wood-oven-fired pizzas to Napas buzzing hub, Oxbow Public Market, where Ca Momi resides. Its a place to kick back while biting into the perfection of traditional Napoletana pizza and other Italian-inspired bites, and sipping Italian heritage Ca Momi wines. Ca Momi brings a taste of Italy to the eclectic mix at the Oxbow. Its a full-service restaurant, Enoteca (wine bar) and retail shop, all rolled into one, where patrons have a choice of services. The Drink Serving as the winery tasting bar, Ca Momi Enoteca provides a place to sit and savor. Known for its Rosso di Napa a complex red blend Ca Momi also makes Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and a selection of other wines in small lots, as well as serving wine from other local boutique Italian-varietal producers.

A variety of Italian sodas and refreshing sparkling waters are available, too. The Food Ca Momi is one of only a few Italian restaurants in the country to be certified by Verace Pizza Napoletana (VPN), meaning it specializes in truly authentic pizza Napoletana created with the same genuine technique found on the streets of Naples, Italy.

An essential part of the arduous process requires that pizzas be cooked for 90 seconds in a wood-burning oven at 900 degrees. The finished pie has a raised edge crust soft, elastic and easily foldable not crispy. The sit-down restaurant serves up several cold-weather comfort food dishes, such as their new Sptzle allo Speck, which consists of small flour dumplings prepared with speck and cream. These dumplings resemble the shape of a small bird. Literally translated, Sptzle means little sparrow in Swabian, a now dissolved region of southern Germany. Other traditional Italian plates, such as Sarde in Sar pan-fried sardines in a white wine marinade with caramelized onions, pine nuts and raisins, or Lasagna Alla Bolognese traditional meat sauce lasagna, and Italian pastries that would have inspired da Vinci to sculpt a cream puff from marble. Folks can grab small bites at the Ca Momi Enoteca bar, serving an assortment of antipasti, imported and local artisan meats and cheeses, wood-fired Panini and more. The Enoteca is now selling Sant Eustachio Il Caffes signature coffee a popular Italian coffee in Rome since 1938. Each 100% Arabica coffee bean is handpicked by owner Roberto Ricci and is slow-roasted over wood without any chemical processing. Visit Ca Momi at 610 1st St, Napa, CA 94558.

WINEMAKER FAVORITES | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Up close and personal with rockstar winemakers
Christophe grew up just outside of Sauternes in Bordeaux, where his grandfather was a Cellar Master. He spent his childhood immersed in the culture of wine, and followed his love for wine and science. As Winemaker and General Manager at Stags Leap Winery, he believes the identity of a wine is found through the terroir. Christophes career has spanned the industry from sales to winemaking, but it was the terroir of Stags Leap that drew him to California. I believe that wine should express the uniqueness of the land, and the Stags Leap wines have always showcased one of the most distinctive regions in the Napa Valley. He makes wine the way he learned in France, showcasing the fruit and not the winemakers hand. WCTW: CP: WCTW: CP: WCTW: CP: WCTW: CP: WCTW: CP: WCTW: CP: WCTW: CP: WCTW: CP:

V. SATTUI WINERY
Full Barrels of Wine Available for Purchase
2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage of the Decade
V. Sattui Winery, whose wines are not available in stores or restaurants and whose winemaker was just named Winemaker of the Year at the San Francisco International Wine Competition, announced that they are selling full barrels of Cabernet Sauvignon. One barrel of wine contains 740 pounds of grapes, equivalent to 59 gallons or just about 25 cases of wine. Tom Davies, Winery President, comments, Several of our members have requested that we provide this availability for some time. We have chosen to do so for the 2012 vintage, which most wine insiders agree is the vintage of the decade. Some even say its the best vintage in Napa Valley in recent memory. While purchasing an entire barrel of wine may seem like a substantial investment, it actually represents great savings (up to 40%) for someone who has in mind giving the gift of wine to customers, clients, associates or employees, while storing away a few cases of exclusive Cabernet for oneself. Five Cabernets are available, including V. Sattuis top single-vineyard sources, all 90+ point winners over the past several years. Each barrel purchase equals 25 cases of 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon. The offer also includes a barrel with the purchasers name engraved on the barrel head, two years free storage after bottling and tickets to the winerys Barrel Tasting Party held every January. V. Sattui is a small, family-owned winery, founded in 1885, that crafts more than sixty different wines, with over a dozen 90+ point rated wines among its current vintages. In 2012 the winery was twice named Winery of the Year, at the 2012 Winemakers Challenge and the 2012 Monterey Wine Competition. More recently V. Sattui Winery was again named the 2013 Winery of the Year at the prestigious Winemakers Challenge. Remarkably, its the 11th time in eight years the winery garnered Winery of the Year recognition. Most recently, during October 2013, V. Sattui Winery was for the third year in a row voted Best Winery in the San Francisco Bay Guardian Readers Poll. Especially notable was the recent recognition given to V. Sattui Winemaker Brooks Painter as Winemaker of the Year at the San Francisco International Wine Competition, an event featuring wines from 29 states, 30 countries, 1400 wineries and more than 4500 wine entries. V. Sattui wines, which are sustainably farmed, some from its own organic vineyard, are sold exclusively from the winery. With no outside distribution, the wines are priced much lower than many other premium brands available in retail stores. V. Sattui Winery is located on a 38-acre vineyard in the center of the Napa Valley, along Highway 29 about 1-1/2 miles south of St. Helena at White Lane and is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. For more information, contact Robert OMalley robert@vsattui.com (707) 286-7242 or visit www.vsattui.com/wholebarrel.

Michael Martini, third generation winemaker
LOUIS M. MARTINI
254 Saint Helena Highway | St. Helena CA 94574 (707) 963-2736 | louismartini.com
With the holiday season comes lots of gatherings with friends and family and now is the best time to re-stock your cellar with an assortment of wines for everyone to enjoy. Louis M. Martini Winery is steeped in history and produces distinct Napa Valley Cabernets as well as a delicious port wine to round out your portfolio. Located just off Highway 29 in St. Helena, their tasting room showcases at least 10 different wines from their familys cellar year-round. Throughout the month of December, port wine will be highlighted with port and chocolate being served in the tasting room to all guests. The deep, inky color of their Napa Valley port hints at the rich scents and flavors in this wine. It opens with smoky aromas that lead to juicy blackberry flavors on the palate. Barrel aging softened the mouthfeel of the wine, giving it a creamy vanilla finish. Guests will receive 20% off and 40% off for Club Members when purchasing a 12 bottle case of port. Founded in 1933 by Louis M. Martini, the winery is still family run with Michael Martini, third generation winemaker, carrying on the tradition of making exceptional wines. Weve been making port since 1922 when it was used for medicinal and sacramental purposes during prohibition. At the time it was both a ruby and a tawny port which are fractionally blended. We kept that up until 1983 when we decided to concentrate on our other wines. About 10 years ago I decided to revive the program. I wanted to use Petite Sirah and create a Vintage style port, rich with big fruit. The port is aged in barrels for two years and blended with a little of the following and previous vintages for consistency. The barrels are older, more neutral wood as with increased alcohol, wood extracts very easily and it is easy to get too much. Im quite pleased with the results. As a side port ages forever, Ive had them up to 100 years old, says Mike. Celebrating 80 years in the heart of Napa Valley, the Louis M. Martini Winery is synonymous with exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon from the finest vineyards in Napa and Sonoma. If you would like to experience the full history of this distinguished winery, for $45 you can reserve a wine tasting and tour of their estate. Delve into the winerys 80 year heritage and taste their hand-selected wines along the way. Learn more about the Martini familys pioneering history in Napa Valley, see where they craft their wines, stop by the barrel room and raise a glass in their underground cellar. Another great event is their Cellar Experience which is an educational visit to their cellar and includes a Lot 1 tasting for $35. Call (707) 968-3362 to reserve these specialty tours and events or visit their website at www.louismartini.com.

Hanukkah Hootenanny A Party Like No Other!

What do surf music, jelly donuts, brisket sliders and Napa wine all have in common? If you said, The 8th Annual Hanukkah Hootenanny on Sunday, December 8th from 12 to 2:30 p.m. at Judds Hill Winery, then you are a person in the know or an extremely lucky guesser. For nearly a decade, Judds Hill Winery and MicroCrush, located at the southern end of Napas Silverado Trail, has hosted this Hanukkah party like no other. As you would expect, the event features a wide variety of Judds Hill Wines, both current releases and library offerings. There will also be plenty of food, including the traditional food of the Hanukkah season, fresh hot latkes, decadent jelly donuts and delicious beef brisket (prepared as sliders). Its right about here where this Hootenanny veers off into a different direction from your bubbys Hanukkah celebrations of yore. As with any good party, Hanukkah or otherwise, having the right entertainment is key. Ever since their first Hanukkah Hootenanny, the folks at Judds Hill have welcomed the band, Meshugga Beach Party, to delight the crowd with traditional Jewish songs enthusiastically performed in an instrumental surf-rock style, a la Dick Dale. Dressed like rabbis, the guys execute synchronized dance moves and occasionally unfurl the dead joke scrolls to deliver ancient one-liners in the finest tradition of the Catskills. You may have caught the bands act at Bay Area Jewish heritage festivals, the famous Bay to Breakers, and hipster havens like Lebowski Fest, Forbidden Island Tiki Lounge and the Hubba Hubba Burlesque Revue. If not, this is your chance at some serious Hava Nagila shenanigans. To get an idea of the hilarity that awaits you, check out their uproarious clips on YouTube. The party takes place on the winerys covered crushpad, in full view of the adjoining Kairos Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard. Traditional dreidels and gelt are provided for all. And, once the party really gets going, the family usually leads revelers in dancing the Hora, the traditional circular dance of celebration. Tickets are $50 per person, or free for wine club members. The Judds Hill Wine Club is free to join and you can find more information about it at www.juddshill.com. As you can see, this is a wonderful celebration, not to be missed. It is also an event that supports a great cause. A portion of ticket sales and proceeds from the days wine sales are donated to Napa Childrens Health Initiative, a non-profit corporation dedicated to achieving 100% healthcare coverage for all Napa County children. So eat, drink, dance and be merry! This event does sell out quickly, so call the winery today at (707) 255-2332 to make your reservation.

St. Clair Brown Winerys Tasting Room Includes Culinary Gardens and Greenhouse
After working together over 10 years at two different wineries, veteran winemaker Elaine St. Clair, and winery executive Laina Brown have joined forces to open an urban winery in the city of Napa.
Elaine St. Clair and Laina Brown are not new to developing wineries. As founding president of Black Stallion Winery on Silverado Trail, Brown developed the initial business model, managed the completion of construction and launched the winery for its opening in 2007. Prior to that, she was director of marketing and hospitality for Domaine Carneros Winery, where she met Elaine St. Clair. At Domaine Carneros, Brown designed and opened two tasting rooms, started the private dining program, and designed and launched the winerys website and ecommerce business. Elaine St. Clair joined Domaine Carneros in 1998 to help develop the winerys Pinot Noir program and was involved in the planning and construction of the new Pinot Noir facility built in 2004. St. Clair went on to join Brown as winemaker at Black Stallion Winery in 2008 where she developed the winemaking program and the new cellar for the fledgling winery. But when it came to starting their own project, St. Clair and Brown wanted to do something truly unique. St. Clair Brown Winery brings together a harmonious blend of hand-crafted small lot wines, micro-brew beer, world-class culinary gardens and a garden-to-table experience that rivals anything in the Valley. It will all come together in the winerys 60 seat eatery, scheduled to open next year, and in the glass-paned greenhouse tasting room. We wanted to create an inspiring space; one that reflects the way we live in the Valley. Theres nothing better than sitting around a table with friends for hours on end, eating great food and sharing great wine, says Brown. The greenhouse tasting room also offers a small food menu created around the fresh produce of the garden. Where else could you be in the middle of the city sitting on the terrace of a greenhouse surrounded by raised beds and espaliered fruit trees, eating fresh-picked food and drinking hand-crafted wine that was made 100 feet away, adds Brown. St. Clair Brown Winery is located on Vallejo Street across Soscol Avenue from Cuve Restaurant and the Westin Hotel; a few blocks further is the Oxbow Market. The winery building, which will also feature the micro-brewery and eatery, used to be TEM Machine Shop. St. Clair Browns culinary gardens sit across the street from the winery. The 4,500-square-foot garden will include 58 fruit trees and 18 raised beds surrounded by 6-foot-tall espalier trellised fruit trees. Elaine St. Clair brings her signature elegant winemaking style to the brand, which she developed from years of working with sparkling wine and Pinot Noir. Each wine is approached differently based what will best support the unique character of the vineyard lot. The St. Clair Brown Winery portfolio includes nine wines: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Zinfandel, Ros of Syrah, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio and a sweet Muscat. The winery makes less than 200 cases of each wine. All of the wines are hand-crafted from small, independently farmed vineyards across the Napa Valley. We currently work with about 15 different growers, which is a lot for a program as small as ours. says winemaker and co-founder Elaine St. Clair. The relationships that Elaine St. Clair has developed over her 28 years in the industry allow the winery to obtain grapes from some of the top vineyards in the Valley.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | NAPA VALEY

The eatery menu will feature a California cuisine that will change daily, and seasonally, based on what is fresh in the garden. The greenhouse will also feature a small food menu with a selection of appetizers, small plates and salads such as grain salad with farro and red quinoa, ros pickled radish, mustard greens, Sylvetta arugula, Pinot Grigio soaked white raisins and a carrot ginger vinaigrette. Organic Culinary Gardener Peter Jacobsen, of Jacobsen Orchards in Yountville, who grows for several top Michelin starred restaurants in the Valley including the French Laundry, was brought in to insure that the gardens had the healthiest start possible. Jacobsen worked with co-owner Elaine St. Clair, who designed the garden, and executive chef Norma Whitt on the selection of the fruit trees and vegetable varieties best suited for the growing site and for the menu requirements of chef Whitt. Its been a huge learning process and also satisfying to be able to start the produce from seed. Watching it grow every day and envisioning how were going to use it has been very exciting, says executive chef, Norma Whitt. Working with the talent of the team at St. Clair Brown has been amazing. Everyone has the same vision of wanting the best, not only in the wine, food and guest experience, but in each other as a team, said Whitt. The greenhouse tasting room offers open seating; no reservations are necessary. Hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
Dominari
Elaine St. Clair and Laina Brown
Working with vineyards across the Napa Valley gives us the ability to select the best vineyards for each varietal. At times we work with vineyard lots as small as two choice rows, says St. Clair. Some of the techniques that we use might seem completely impractical for what we charge for our wine, but we decided from the start that we will not make a wine if we cannot make it the best way we know how. Thats what inspires me, adds St. Clair. The wine menu features half glass, full glass, half bottle and table bottle options. The half glass pours allow guests to try a different wine with each course or essentially create their own tasting. Executive chef Norma Whitt was most recently at the Bardessono Hotel in Yountville where she developed an affinity for cooking from on-site gardens. We were astounded by the delicate and distinct layers of flavor Vinoce and Twenty Rowsand how similar thatRobert Craig that chef Whitt achieved in her cooking, was to Tallulah the style of our wines. TheWines food and wine paired naturally from day one, said Laina Brown.

SONOMA COUNTY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Read All About It: Introducing Paper Boy!

Truett-Hurst Inc. Transcends Green Clutter With First Paper Wine Bottle!
Wine industry leader in innovation Truett-Hurst Inc. wine company of Healdsburg, says no to marketing green-washing. The release of the first paper wine bottle in the U.S. from Truett-Hurst Inc. is the real thing. The paper wine bottle, branded PaperBoy, is a molded outer shell in the shape of a wine bottle, made from recycled cardboard with a plastic liner. The entire package is 85 percent lighter than a glass bottle and is easily recyclable. From production to shipping to recycling, PaperBoy proves the wine business can operate with a significantly reduced carbon footprint. Pleasanton, Californiabased Safeway Inc. will partner with TruettHurst Inc. in the initial release of PaperBoy nationwide. PaperBoy contains appellation-based, super-premium wines sourced from the Mendocino and Paso Robles growing regions and crafted by winemaker Virginia Marie Lambrix, also the winemaker for VML. Introductory PaperBoy wines are a 2012 Paso Robles Red Blend ($14.99) and a 2012 Mendocino Chardonnay ($13.99). Lambrix is passionate about innovation. She says, We at Truett-Hurst Inc. believe that if the quality of the wine exceeds a customers expectation, then new, cutting-edge packaging will become more mainstream.
Truett Hurst Inc. Incentive

On its quest to change the way people think about and buy wine, Truett-Hurst Inc. is responding to lifestyle choices to eco-conscious wine lovers on the go. Paper Boy provides a responsible way to carry wine outdoors. Campers, hikers and fishermen can carry this lightweight package only 1.9 lbs. filled--and enjoy premium wine from a 750ml bottle almost anywhere, collapsing it when finished for return to a recycling site. We're thrilled to be a pioneer of this earthfriendly, high-quality, innovative package. It could create an entirely new category in wine, says Truett-Hurst Inc.s president and CEO, Phil Hurst. PaperBoy offers a better alternative. The bottles cardboard outer can go into mainstream recycling streams, which are used to produce other cardboard products. The cap and neck assembly pieces are also recyclable, and the plastic liner is suitable for waste to energy programs. In total, the overall carbon footprint of PaperBoy, from production to shipping to recycling, is significantly lower than glass. Even the 12-pack cartons are produced from recycled paper. Each PaperBoy bottle comes with instructions for how to break the bottle down for disposal. As a winemaker, Virginia Lambrix admires the economic practicality of PaperBoy. She says, Wines that will be consumed almost immediately do not need a heavy, environmentally and economically expensive glass bottle and cork. We would rather apply the savings that PaperBoy affords toward more expensive, better-crafted wine so that both the customer and the environment win.
About the Design

Paper Boy is in part, the brainstorm of Truett-Hurst Inc. designer, Kevin Shaw of Stranger & Stranger. Shaw worked with the TruettHurst Inc. team and Green Bottle, a UK-based paper bottle manufacturer, to develop this groundbreaking package. Extensive testing has proven the Paper Boy bottle to be superior to a traditional glass bottle. It insulates better, recycles more readily, and is lighter and more transportable, yet it looks and acts like a traditional glass bottle. Shaw added the lighthearted and retro-cool feel of the brand identity. He comments, This is a product that is unashamedly different and it was important that the name was iconic to own the medium, and that the branding was bright, strong and fearless.
Transportation Savings
Case weight for normal glass bottles with liquid is 36 lbs. versus the paper bottle at 23.6 lbs. A pallet of 56 cases prepared for shipping is reduced from 2,000 lbs. to 1,322 lbs.--a weight reduction of 34 percent and a savings of more than 7 tons per truckload of wine shipped. Truett-Hurst Inc. is an innovative and growing super-premium and ultra-premium wine sales, marketing and production company based in the acclaimed Dry Creek and Russian River valleys of Sonoma County. For more information, visit the website at www.truetthurstinc.com. For more information on PaperBoy go to www.paperboywines.com
Environmental Impact
Packaging waste is a huge and growing problem in modern society, particularly in the wine industry. According wrap.org.uk, 17.5 billion bottles of wine are consumed annually around the globe, producing 8.75 billion tons of glass waste more packaging waste than any other product in the food or drink sector.

Bring Your Holidays To Cornerstone Sonoma

Le Cirque De Boheme A Winter Circus for the Holidays Cornerstones 9th Annual Lighting of the Snowmen Santa in the Big Blue Chair, Carolers, Shopping, Gift Wrapping & More
Cornerstone Sonoma invites you to Bring Your Holidays to Cornerstone as they kick off the season with an authentic 1920s style French holiday circus titled Le Cirque de Boheme, for eight special performances beginning on Friday, November 29 and closing on Monday, December 2. Next up is the 9th annual Lighting of the Snowmen set for Sunday, December 8 with festivities beginning at 3 p.m. plus additional holiday highlights including photos with Santa in Cornerstones Big Blue Chair, a complimentary gift wrapping station and Christmas carolers. All of this holiday fun can only happen at Cornerstone where the shops, wine rooms and entertainment are as unique and artful as the gardens. A French holiday tradition begins its inaugural run at Cornerstone Sonoma for just eight special performances. Le Cirque de Boheme is an old style, holiday circus based on the French tradition of the 1920s, filled with the promise of enchantment, thrill and wonder. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for children 15 and under. Tickets can be purchased online at www.cornerstonesonoma.com. A portion of each ticket will benefit the Sonoma Valley Mentoring Alliance. Le Cirque de Boheme is an intimate gathering limited to just 80 guests per show and held under the wedding tent in the magical gardens at Cornerstone. Show times run daily at 1 and 3 p.m. for four days only, Friday, November 29 through Monday, December 2. Enjoy world-class talent with performances that are deftly woven into Le Cirque de Boheme, a story of 10-year-old Luna who takes us on a journey into a long ago time high atop the hills on Montmartre near the famous Le Moulin Rouge in Paris. Within Lunas dream, she encounters a sword thrower, contortionist, magician, slack rope walker and other assorted denizens of Paris of the 1920s. To make room for the debut of Le Cirque de Boheme, the 9th annual Lighting of the Snowmen at Cornerstone has been moved to Sunday, December 8 at 3 p.m. Come out and be the first to see what the Snowmen are up to this year! Festivities include photos with Santa on the Big Blue Chair, a special performance by the Sonoma Ballet Conservatory, live music in the snowflake filled courtyard, classic holiday films in the Olive Grove Cinema, and back for a second year, a traditional German Beer Garden with a variety of beers, German sausage and even men in Lederhosen. Admission to the Lighting of the Snowmen is free but because of overcrowding, parking is $5 per car with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the Sonoma Valley Mentoring Alliance. Overflow parking is available two minutes down the road at Jacuzzi Winery with a shuttle to and from the event leaving every five minutes. The Lighting of the Snowmen has become a favorite holiday tradition in Sonoma. In addition to wine, food, fun and live music, during the Lighting of the Snowmen event, Cornerstone is hosting a benefit to support the Sonoma Valley Mentoring Alliance. An arms length of tickets will go a long way for $20. You can swap benefit tickets for gingerbread men and women to decorate, hot chocolate, face painting by Popo
Jamie the Juggler performs at Cornerstone Sonoma this holiday season
the Clown, kids holiday crafts, grab bag gifts, wacky holiday games, cotton candy, popcorn balls and more. Unique shopping options have always been the hallmark at Cornerstone Sonoma. The site is home to shops and galleries such as Artifact Design & Salvage, A New Leaf Gallery I Sculpturesite, Country by Eurasion Interiors, John Denning Studio & Gallery, Potter Green & Co. and Tesoro Flowers, Home & Garden. Keating Wines, Meadowcroft Wines and the newly opened Tricycle Wine Company offer tastes of their award-winning wines each day. In addition to all of the special events and ongoing holiday extras at Cornerstone Sonoma, there will also be a complimentary gift wrapping station available each Friday, Saturday and Sunday starting Thanksgiving weekend and running all the way through to Christmas. Shoppers can have their gift purchases classically wrapped in an iconic Tiffany blue box. Naturally, because of the size of many of the sculptures, art objects and other large items, these cannot be included for wrapping. Additionally, musical groups and choruses will be at Cornerstone on weekends to entertain the guests with holiday carols. Nearing its 10th Anniversary in Sonoma, Cornerstone Gardens is an ever changing series of walk through gardens showcasing new and innovative designs from the worlds finest landscape architects and designers. The first such gallery-style gardens in the United States, the nine-acre exhibit of some 22 gardens was created as an inspiration and resource for people interested in gardens, garden design and art. Cornerstone Sonoma is located at 23570 Arnold Drive, Sonoma, CA 95476. For more information, call (707) 9333010 or visit www.cornerstonegardens.com.

Biography Of Wine Industry Pioneer Jess Stonestreet Jackson Released

A Man and His Mountain tells the story of the everyman who created Kendall-Jackson and became Americas greatest wine entrepreneur
Jackson Family Wines, a portfolio of exceptional wines including Kendall-Jackson and more than 30 individual wineries around the world is proud to announce the publication of the authorized biography of company founder, wine industry visionary Jess Stonestreet Jackson, entitled A Man and His Mountain; The Everyman who Created Kendall-Jackson and Became Americas Greatest Wine Entrepreneur. Released on October 22, 2013 by PublicAffairs Books (a member of the Perseus Books Group), A Man and His Mountain tells the extraordinary story of the self-made man who built Kendall-Jackson from nothing into the biggest-selling brand of ultra-premium wines in the U.S. all after the age of 50 years old. Jess Stonestreet Jackson was one of a small band of pioneering entrepreneurs who put Californias wine country on the map. His life story is a compelling slice of history, daring, innovation, feuds, intrigue, talent, mystique, contrarianism and luck, offering a unique window on the elegant, adventurous and cut-throat worlds of Jacksons two passions: wine and horseracing. Time after time his decisions would be ignored, derided, then finally envied and imitated, as whole industries watched him become a millionaire and tried to keep up. He reinvented himself at mid-life, and became founder and CEO of KendallJackson Winery. The empire he constructed endures and thrives even after his death in 2011. In A Man and His Mountain, Pulitzer prizewinning author Edward Humes brings us the tale of the brilliant, infuriating, successful man who seemed to win more than his share by staying far ahead of the pack. Written with the full cooperation of the Jackson family, the book is a no holds barred portrait of this complicated and brilliant businessman. My family and I are so proud of Jess legacy, says Barbara Banke, chairman and proprietor of Jackson Family Wines and Jess wife and business partner for 25 years, our hope is that this book inspires others to follow their passions as Jess did.

SONOMA VALLEY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Meadowcroft Wines Offers Two New Pairing Options

Located in the Cornerstone community at the gateway to Sonoma Valley, Meadowcroft Wines is now offering two new wine and food pairings all day, every day in the tasting room. The wines to be featured during the pairings include some 12 to 19 vintages of the Meadowcroft and Thomas Henry labels. The first pairing consists of five unique and distinct flavors paired with five wines. The flavors include dried apricot, sweet and spicy pecan, maple bacon popcorn, chocolate covered blueberry and a piece of Vella cheese the cost is $10 per person. The second pairing is the Wine & Chocolate Decadence featuring Le Bilge Belgian Chocolates. Six wines are paired with six confections including Pistachio and Hazelnut Orange Peel, both to be paired with a Viognier or one of three Chardonnays. The white wines are followed with a Raspberry Pomegranate chocolate paired with one of two Pinot Noirs; Tiramisu paired with a choice of Sangiovese, Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon; a Red Velvet chocolate paired with Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon; ending with a 72% Dark Belgian with Fleur de Sel A Legend Re-Born Chocolate accompanied by the Californias First Premium Winery Meadowcroft Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon or the All She Wrote Port. When the weather began to Barrel Tasting & Historical cool off, coupled with the Cave Tours Taste with The completed harvest that took the Count Beautiful Picnic Area grapes off the vines, our daily 2013 winery of the year california travel association vineyard tours lost a little of their luster, said Phyllis 18000 Old Winery Rd, Sonoma 800.926.1266 Hyland, Director of Hospitality www.buenavistawinery.com for Meadowcroft Wines.
Rather than fight the elements, we decided to bring the fun into the tasting room with several wine and food options presented in both a tasty and educational setting to learn more about wine and the many flavors that work with it. Le Belge Chocolates are handcrafted in Napa and are created in the French chocolate making tradition by award winning Master Chocolatier Chef Sebastian Beline of Paris. Known for producing distinctive chocolates, Chef Beline has perfected a balance of flavor and texture to produce an unparalleled chocolate experience. The Meadowcroft Wines menu 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, a restaurant, art galleries and cutting-edge design shops all set among acres of vineyards. Meadowcroft Wines is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The venue is available for private parties, private tastings, wine dinners and other events. For information, call (707) 934-4090.

Three Newly Released Pinot Noirs from Harmonique

Harmonique Wine owners Bruce and Moira Conzelman announced the opening of a new Tasting Room, showcasing the recent release of three gracefully aged Harmonique Anderson Valley Pinot Noir wines: 2007 The Noble One, 2007 Eleganc, and 2007 Delicac. We are pleased to be presenting our wines in the charming town of Boonville in Anderson Valley, said Conzelman. The Harmonique Tasting Room is centrally situated in the John Hanes Fine Art Gallery, among a collection of original paintings and sculptures, across from the Boonville Hotel. Harmonique is a partnership between owner Bruce Conzelman and Claudia Springs winemaker Robert Klindt. The name Harmonique recognizes our desire to create wines that harmonize with many foods and evoke a sense of their French Burgundian heritage, remarked Conzelman. Our wines are released only when we believe they have reached a prime level of maturity and are ready to be enjoyed in all their elegance and complexity. With proper cellaring, they can continue to age well for a decade or more after release.
Harmonique 2007 Delicac, Anderson Valley Pinot Noir

The core of this wine is the 2A clone from the Ferrington Vineyard, imparting bright red fruit notes and suppleness, rounded out with the deeper fruit flavors of the Klindt Vineyard Dijion clone 777 and the Conzelman Vineyard old block Pommard clone. The Delicac opens with red fruit aromas of strawberry and spice. Delicate strawberry flavors echo the nose, with hints of rhubarb and
pomegranate. Firm acidity contributes to the bright fruit; a lingering finish follows a full, rich mouth feel. Harmonique 2007 The Noble One, Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Fruit from the Klindt Vineyard (clones 115, 777 and Pommard) and the Wiley Vineyard (clones 115 and Pommard) create a bold and juicy offering. Aromas of black cherry, spice and a hint of molasses grace the nose. Rich flavors reflect notes of dark berry, cola and clove. Hints of orange zest complete the complex finish. Harmonique 2007 Eleganc, Anderson Valley Pinot Noir The 2A clone from the Ferrington Vineyard provide red fruit notes and suppleness; the Klindt and Wiley Vineyards provide dark fruit flavors. The old-block Pommard, planted in 1986, from the Conzelman Vineyard contribute herb, cherry and spice notes, with good acidity and tannin for structure. The complex flavors of red licorice, cherry and cranberry are held together with firm acidity, leading to a long, satisfying finish. 2007 Vintage in Anderson Valley The 2007 vintage was ideal in Anderson Valley. The growing season started with spring rains followed by moderate temperatures throughout the summer, allowing the fruit to ripen slowly and retain good acidity. A late season warm spell allowed the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness from late September to early October.
Harmonique Wines and Tasting Room

Harmonique wines are available to purchase in the new tasting room located at 14051 Highway 128, Boonville, located in the Hanes Art Gallery, open Friday through Monday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; (707) 895-9300. Wines may also be purchased through the website, www.harmoniquewine.com. The Delicac retail price is $44; The Noble One is $39; and Eleganc is $36. Harmonique also features a popular un-oaked Chardonnay in very limited quantities for $39. Gina Schock is the new Tasting Room Manager. She formerly worked at Goldeneye for 10 years, helping to open their tasting room. Tasting is complimentary and library wines are also available to purchase, said Gina. We are offering our visitors a beautiful, luminous space to discover these wine gems.

Holiday Wine Gift Ideas

Without a doubt, wine is one of the most popular gifts given during the holidays. Probably the most appreciated gift, especially if you dont really know the recipients tastes, is that of sparkling and/or dessert wines. These are always popular at parties and there are very few people who would turn down a really well-made dessert or port-style wine. Highly recommended are the Burrell School Chaperone, which is a late harvest Chardonnay that tastes like baked apples; the Fernwood Cellars 2010 Klammer Red Dessert Wine, made from Zin and Riesling, a red raspberry delight; the Fernwood Cellars 2010 Late Harvest Riesling, a lively wine, not at all sweet and lovely with white figs, goat cheese and marcona almonds; the Guglielmo Eredita Special Family Reserve Port, a classic ruby style port which is made from traditional Portuguese varietals and handsomely packaged; and finally, the Loma Prieta 2009 St. Amant Port, also of Portuguese varieties, which intrigues with aromas and flavors of warm baked brownies, fig bars, fresh-brewed coffee and gingerbread cookies. Burrell School Vineyards will be offering a three-pack on their three dessert wines (they also have a Late Harvest Zin called Probation, and a Zin-based port called Deportment) for just $59, for the
