Cheers! from Wine Country This Week


Even though harvest season is winding down, and the
wines have begun to settle in their oak barrels and stainless
steel tanks, the wineries themselves are gearing up for the
fall season and the holidays! In this issue, we have an array
of wineries for you to visit, a few exciting events and some
exciting wine education.
If you are a Pinot Noir-lover and have yet to visit the
recently opened tasting room of La Rochelle Winery in
Kenwood, its time you make a visit. Featured on our cover
this week, La Rochelle has a true passion for single vineyard
Pinot Noir (page 22). Their extensive collection of singlevineyard bottlings, made from grapes grown as far north as
Mendocino County to as far south Monterey County and
beyond, will undoubtedly impress your palate.
For a real historical experience, look no further than the
more than a century-old Pope Valley Winery in Napa
Valley (page 24). This prestigious, rustic winery has
proudly stood as an icon in Pope Valley since 1897. Visit
for a taste of historic authenticity and fabulous Napa Valley
wines.
At Ledson Winery & Vineyards, located in the
Sonoma Valley, guests are invited to enjoy a wine country
experience like no other (page 52). Enjoy small-lot wines
from meticulously grown vineyards, shop the on-site
gourmet marketplace, tour the vineyards and revel in
expansive vineyard views.
For food, wine and cycling enthusiasts, the 2nd
Annual Crush Challenge is the premier event of the
season (page 26). On Saturday, October 10, ZD Wines
along with Amgen and Medalist Sports will host this
fabulous fundraiser. Cycle through Napa Valley, taste wines
and enjoy a delicious farm-to-table lunch; then finish off
the evening at the silent and live auction, accompanied by
a vineyard dinner.
Speaking of farm-to-table, dont miss Meadowcroft
Wines harvest lunch and vineyard tour, hosted on
Saturday, October 10 from 12-3pm (page 35). Enjoy a
delicious, freshly prepared lunch paired with Meadowcroft
wines, and embark on a gorgeous tour of stunning
Carneros vineyards.
In wine education this issue, Len Napolitanos
Wineology column brings you the truth about older wine
vintages versus younger ones (page 12). Theres also a
fantastic article by Josh Stein in his Winegrowing Decisions
column about how microclimates impact everything when
it comes to grape growing (page 63).

Cheers!

Wineology

INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER

BY LEN NAPOLITANO

What should I look for on a wine label? Part 1


First, lets look at what is required on every label:
Brand name.
Class or Type of wine: look for the words Table Wine,
Dessert Wine, Sparkling Wine, or the name of a grape variety. (A
stated grape variety must comprise 75% of the wine.) If no specific
grape is indicated, the label will state Red Wine or White Wine.
Name and address of the bottling winery; if imported,
the name of the importer and bottler.
Country of origin, if an imported wine.
Net contents, expressed in liters.
A standard wine bottle is 750 milliliters, or 0.75 liters.
Alcohol content, expressed in percent by volume.
Appellation of origin of the grapes.
A government health warning on alcohol.
A declaration of sulfur dioxide agent (Contains Sulfites),
if applicable. It is not required on certified organic wine.
Get accustomed to reading all the label information , including:
Alcohol: As alcohol content increases, wine feels heavier on the
palate, creating a more full-bodied wine style. If you are in search of
a lighter, more delicate wine, either look for Table Wine on the
label, meaning the alcohol content does not exceed 14%, or find
wines with no more than than 13% alcohol as they tend to be more
food-friendly and nuanced. If you are in search of a sweet wine,
bottles labeled as Dessert Wine contains more than 14% alcohol.
Len Napolitano is the author of
Nose, Legs, Body! Know Wine Like The Back of Your Hand,
a quick and easy guide for the wine beginner.
The book is available at bookstores, online and at wineology.com.
Follow Len on Twitter: @wineologist and visit his blog:
noselegsbody.com.
Send your wine question to Len: wineologist@earthlink.net

12

Vintage: A wines vintage indicates the year the grapes were


harvested, not the year the wine was bottled. If a vintage date is
stated, then 95% of the wine must be from that year and the label
must also show a geographic origin of the grapes.
Although red wines age longer than white wines, before choosing
an old vintage red wine make sure it is an age-worthy grape variety
and stored properly throughout its life. If in doubt, go with a
trustworthy retailer when purchasing any wine more than five
years older than the wines current vintage on store shelves.
Bottles priced at around $25 and below are typically made for
consumption when they are released to the market, whereas more
expensive wines tend to do better if allowed to age longer in the
bottle. Its hard to say how long sometimes a year makes a big
difference, while other wines need more time to show their best.
Appellation of Origin: A basic appellation of origin for American
wine, such as a state or county, indicates at least 75% of the grapes
came from that appellation. But remember, no single state or
county is an American Viticultural Area (AVA), which is a specific
region recognized for making wines of distinction. If an AVA is
stated on a label it must supply a minimum 85% of the grapes.
However, keep in mind the one great advantage to a broad state
appellation: it gives flexibility to the producer, allowing the winery
to choose grapes from anywhere in the state locations they likely
select precisely because of superior conditions for growing certain
grapes.
Beyond an appellation, a single-vineyard name might be included
on a label because the producer believes its unique soils and
microclimate produce a special wine. Or, because the vineyard has
earned a name for itself and is respected for producing wines of
outstanding quality. A vineyard by itself is not an appellation of
origin nor an approved American Viticultural Area.

LA ROCHELLE
The Pinnacle of Single-Vineyard Pinot Noir
The Evolution of a Winery
La Rochelle Wines is tied to the earliest days of
Pinot Noir in California. This producer of classic
small-lot, single-vineyard Pinot Noir, Chardonnay
and sparkling wine, has recently moved their
winemaking operations and tasting room to
Kenwood (Sonoma Valley) when it was acquired by
thirty-year wine industry veteran Chuck Easley and
his wife, Jill Hays. They purchased the winery from
close friends, Steven and June Mirassou. Chuck had
worked with La Rochelles winemaker, Tom Stutz at
the Mirassou winery early in his wine career, back
in the 1980s. Chucks love of Pinot Noir, respect for
Tom and gratitude for all of the contributions made
by the Mirassou family to Californias wine history,
made it a perfect fit.
La Rochelles mission: offer an opportunity to
experience how Pinot Noir and Chardonnay express
themselves when sourced from the most prestigious
growing sites in California. They produce 17 singlevineyard Pinot Noirs, five Chardonnays, a Pinot
Meunier and even a single-vineyard Blanc de Noir
Sparkling Wine.

Rustic Elegance Awaits


If Pinot Noir is your passion, then La Rochelle
Winery is where you belong. The boutique
collection of La Rochelle wines can be tasted in a
charming converted barn, framed on either side by
lush vineyards and a private garden tucked away
behind the tasting roomcomplete with a koi pond,
picnic area and shaded lawn for relaxing while you
take in the views of the majestic Hood Mountain
and Sugarloaf Ridge. The tasting menu features a
sampling of their expansive list of single-vineyard
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and most tastings
include their signature sparkling wine, when
available.

Sometimes, the best a destination has to offer cant be found in your Frommers
guide. High above the heavily-trafficked Napa Valley floor and hundreds of
pretentious, monotonous wineries, sits a century-old treasure: Pope Valley Winery.
This scenic road less traveled, draped with vineyards and offering panoramic views
of the picturesque Napa Valley, leads you northeast of the Silverado Trail and back in
time to 40 quaint, country acres. Here, the Burgundy Wine and Olive Oil Factory was
founded in 1897, a three-story gravitational winery that shipped wine by train to Al
Capones Chicago speakeasies during Prohibition. A century later, it was purchased by
the Eakle family, long-time Pope Valley Residents, and given new life.
The winery no longer sells to gangsters, but not too much else has changed. Pope
Valley Winerys mark of authenticity is signed and sealed with the nineteenth century
farming equipment, hand dug cave and original blacksmith shop, farmhouse and
wagon shed, all still on the property.
In 2009, siblings David Eakle as winemaker and Diana Eakle Hawkins as general
manager, took hold of the reins with the goal of bringing Pope Valley Winery to the
next level of quality, distinction and recognition. They hand-craft 5,000 cases of fine
wines a year, among them the Estate Reserve Cab and Merlot Eakle Ranch, which both
won Best in Class for their 2010 vintages at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine
Competition. Theyre known for their Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel Port, and a very
rare Old Vine Chenin Blanc, and produce Sangiovese Ros, Sauvignon Blanc and
Zinfandel as well.
Visitors who are welcomed like old friends can embark on one-of-a-kind tours
of the historic grounds and through the cave, which took nine long years to dig. A
variety of tasting options include custom wine flights, picnics, a private view of the
vineyards from their 1897 Lounge and a Brunch & Bubbles Experience for the early
birds. Wine Club members can even get away for a night with a stay in the original
farmhouse, sipping wine under a bright sky completely blanketed in stars.
No need for frills, extravagance or even paved roads. The only bells and whistles
youll find here is literally on old ringing bell on a big oak tree. Pope Valley Winery
prides itself in staying true to its historic, Old Napa roots, while making fine wines that
can compete with the best of the New Age Valley below.

If you have never been to The Hess Art Museum, now is the time. For avid art
lovers who have been, a repeat wine and art pairing experience is in order. Visitors will
once again be able to explore fine selections from Donald Hesss personal
contemporary art collection. The Hess Art Museum has fully re-opened following
restoration and repairs from damage sustained in the South Napa earthquake. During
the renovation a new floor was installed in the third-floor West Gallery, walls were
repaired, freshly painted and galleries were reconfigured to best showcase the art.
The works displayed on Mount Veeder are an international representation of the
most important ideas and art positions of the past forty years by now-renowned
modern and contemporary artists such as Magdalena Abakanowicz, Francis Bacon,
Gilbert & George, Franz Gertsch, Anselm Kiefer, Armando, Robert Rauschenberg,
Robert Motherwell, Frank Stella, Rolf Iseli and Per Kirkeby.
Donald Hess began sharing his passion for art with the greater public in 1989 by
exhibiting his collection in museums around the world. You can travel the globe to see
first-hand the art Hess has collected over the years at the Hess Family Estate wineries.
The first exhibit opened in Napa Valley at The Hess Collectiion Winery, the second at
Glen Carlou Vineyards in Paal, South Africa, the third at the James Turrell Museum of
The Hess Art Collection at Bodega & Estancia Colom in Salta, Argentina
You will quickly discern, Donald Hess is not a sporadic collector, only acquiring
pieces that challenge or touch him personally. He is primarily interested in works by
living artists, just starting their careers. In his forty years of collecting, he has formed
many deep friendships.

the four course Surreal Harvest Dinner includes four distinct pairings:
- 2014 Viognier: This is a lovely, floral, elegant and captivating vintage. The 2014
Viognier begs sip after sip evoking the essence of fresh white peaches, juicy apricots and
pineapple, honeysuckle and lime. Its bright acidity compliments a deliciously creamy,
lingering finish.

Blend delivers everything they want from this popular


blend of Zinfandel and Petite Sirah. Opaque in the glass,
this wine carries a nearly purple hue, on the nose, sweet,
floral aromatics accentuated by dollops of huckleberry,
jasmine and bramble.
- 2011 Juel: As with every vintage, the 2011 Juel is a
complex wine, hard to pin down and endlessly intriguing.
Its wild blackberry on the nose is made even more
inviting by layered notes of garrigue and a soft hint of the
new French oak that the wine was aged in. Bold tannins
are buffered by soft acidity, a rich mouthfeel and luscious
flavors of black cherry throughout a long, pleasing finish.
- 2009 Zinfandel Port: This vintage holds all the lovely
vibrancy of fresh red raspberry, Macintosh apple and red
plum. The palate boasts the earthy complexity of dried fig
and apricot, rounded by the warmth of French oak. It has
plenty of bright acidity on the finish balances, and a
tempting sweetness of this captivating, fortified wine.

CAVES & VINEYARDS

Grilled Oysters
with Toasted Prosciutto Quinoa Crumbs
Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards launched their
first ever nationwide Glorious Bites Competition to
find the best appetizer in the country that pairs with
their Sonoma Brut. They looked to Season 10 Top
Chef star Brooke Williamson to help them.
Brooke and winery staff judged the top ten
finalists recipes in cook-off competitions in New York

field of appetizer-making contestants down to just
four, who will compete in a throw-down appetizer

winner will be chosen. Join them for the exciting
conclusion! The winner will be crowned and
presented with a $5,000 cash prize.
The event will take place at Gloria Ferrer Caves &
Vineyards in beautiful Sonoma Valley on Saturday
October 10, 2015 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m..
The four semi-finalists will battle it out Top Chef
style and present their winning signature appetizer for
a chance at a $5,000 cash prize!
Award-winning author, speaker, wine consultant,
and television star Leslie Sbrocco (@lesliesbrocco) will
host this event.
Tickets are $40 per person ($25 for wine club
members). Appetizers and sparkling wine are
included in the price of the ticket. Doors open at

GRILLED OYSTERS WITH TOASTED PROSCIUTTO QUINOA CRUMBS


Courtesy of Chef Brooke Williamson
INGREDIENTS:
16 whole raw oysters
lb thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped into small bits
1 cup cooked quinoa
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Makse 16

1 lemon, juice and zest


1/2 teaspoon chili pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
cracked black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon finely minced parsley

Quinoa
1. Heat a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
2. When hot, add the olive oil and the butter.
3. Add the prosciutto and saut until crisp.
4. Add the garlic and saut until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
5. Add the lemon juice, zest, chili pepper flakes, quinoa, salt, pepper and parsley.
6. Cook over low heat until quinoa is slightly browned and has crunchy bites throughout.
Oysters
Note: If you can find large, fat oysters, you can place the oysters directly on the grill grates. If the oysters are too
small for the grates of your grill, place them on a bed of rock salt or rice in a small panand then place the entire
pan inside the grill or under a broiler. This steadies the oysters and prevents them from wobbling.
1. Place the oysters, cup side up on a very hot, preheated grill, cover and cook for 1 minute. The oysters
should now be slightly open. Quickly remove the oysters. Hold an oyster with an oven mitt and use a
shucking knife to pry open the oyster. It should easily open. Spoon your quinoa bread crumbs into each oyster
and return oysters to the grill. Cover and grill 4-5 minutes.
2. Serve while still hot so that the quinoa crumbs dont get soggy in your oyster liquid.

Fall Wine & Music Series


In addition to the new Bubbles & Bites pairing experience, Gloria Ferrer is proud to offer the Fall Wine & Music Series. Join the crew at
Gloria Ferrer on Thursdays from 5:15 to 7:00 p.m. on the stunning vista terrace for warm evenings full of bubbles, bites, brilliant views and
boundless entertainment.

Calistoga
New Private Cabernet Sauvignon Tasting Experience at Bennett Lane Winery
Wine Tasting Adventure Like No Other
Bennett Lane Winery, located off of Highway 128 in historic
Calistoga, unveils their new private seated tasting for Cabernet
Sauvignon wine lovers near and far. Guests can expect a customized
wine tasting experience like no other, sampling small-lot signature
and reserve wines in two little private nooks while over-looking lush
acres of estate vineyard and open-spaced garden grounds. Private
seated tasting groups accommodate up to six people in the tasting
room for $35.00 per person.

Discover the Wines & Vineyards


Bennett Lanes new private seated wine tasting includes a
combination of two signature vintages and two Reserve wines, such
as the Bennett Lane 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Lynch Family
Vineyard, known for its complexity and deep notes of berry, cherry
and subtle hints of rose petal and vanilla, the 2009 Bennett Lane
Maximus with notes of dark cherry and berry, and the 2009 Bennett
Lane Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon displaying flavors of rich
blackberry, bing cherry and mocha.
Most of the vineyards that Bennett Lane sources are Up Valley

sites, planted on the edges of the Napa Valley with all being located in
the St. Helena and Calistoga AVA. The loamy-soiled vineyards
provide incredible fruit with amazing structure. These sites produce
healthy vines, which when cared for properly and cropped
appropriately produce amazing wines.
For that reason Bennett Lane Winery has garnered over an
impressive thirty-six 90+ point scores from Wine Spectator, Wine
Enthusiast and Robert Parkers Wine Advocate.
In addition, Bennett Lane offers their Signature Flight which
includes four wines at $20 per flight and their Reserve Flight which
includes three Reserve Cabernet Sauvignons at $45 per flight. If you
are looking for a place that makes you feel right at home, look no
further. Bennett Lanes tasting room is the sweet spot for you!

Petting Vineyard Tour and More


For private tours, reservations are needed. The tours include their
petting vineyard of seven varietal grapes, wine and barrel production
room, and group tastings. Customized blends are available upon
request.
Bennett Lane Winery is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
and is located at 3340 Highway 128, Calistoga, CA 94515. For more
information, call (707) 942-6684 or visit www.bennettlane.com.

Founded in 1992, today Frank Family owns 380 acres of the finest vineyard land
in Napa Valley and has one of the biggest word-of-mouth followings in the wine
country. First constructed as the Larkmead Winery in 1884, the historic stone
building on the property was refinished with native sandstone from the nearby
hills in 1906. The massive stone edifice is considered one of the finest structures
in the Napa Valley; it appears on the National Register of Historical Places and is
listed as a Point of Historical Interest in the state of California.

is close to becoming a billion dollar category


in a scan environment.* No wine other
brand is better positioned to introduce a
unique new red blend into the market, noted
Mark Dunlea, marketing director for the
brand. Mnage Trois is the fastest growing
750 ml wine brand** in the industry and is
widely credited as being the brand that
created the domestic premium red blend
category.
One year ago, Mnage Trois introduced
Mnage Trois Midnight a dark red blend
of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah
and Petit Verdot. Consumers loved the red
blend alternative, and Mnage Trois
Midnight became the most successful new
wine item of 2014.*** A dark inky red wine
with a black cherry and currant flavor
profile, Mnage Trois Midnight was crafted
for the wine drinker that seeks a robust, rich
wine profile. Mnage Trois Silk was created
for the red wine drinker who prefers a softer,
lighter-bodied red wine with less oak
characteristics.
According to Glenn Andrade, vice
president of winemaking, Silk is bright red
ruby in color with bing cherry and raspberry
aromatics, a spice component of dried
flowers and a soft and graceful mouthfeel.
Dunlea added, Mnage Trois Midnight is
dark and mysterious; whereas, Mnage
Trois Silk is soft and elegant on the palate.
Both Silk and Midnight red wine blends
retail for $13.99 and are available
nationwide.
The Mnage Trois wine portfolio now
boasts 15 exciting offerings. In the past two
years, Mnage Trois has launched three
new wines: Silk, Midnight and an Italian
Prosecco DOC made from 100% Glera
Grapes.

Fritz Underground Winery
If you havent been up to Fritz Underground Winery lately, then youre in for a treat when
you arrive and explore their collection of new tasting experiences and events. Founded in 1970
by Jay Arthur Fritz and run today by his son Clayton, the winerys subterranean design allows for
a natural gravity-fed wine system and cool, even cellar temperatures throughout the seasons. The
newly renovated and modern-design tasting room is perched atop a hill at the estate, with their
outdoor tasting patio boasting gorgeous views of Dry Creek Valley. Pack a picnic and enjoy a
wine by-the-glass from their tasting menu when visiting.

Vineyard Hike

early to enjoy an evening filled with a delicious roast whole
hog complete with an abundance of dishes featuring
produce from the winerys organic garden. Winemaker Brad
Longton will be pouring new release wines along with a few
special library selections from their cellar. Festivities
begin at 6:30 p.m., including live music on the patio.
A relaxing fall evening under the stars awaits you.

Dust off your hiking boots and pack the sunscreen as youre in for a literal breath of fresh air
when one Fritzs winery team guides you on 2-mile trek of their 112-acre estate. The moderateclimb trail takes you through their vineyard and orchards, an old redwood grove and to a natural
mineral spring. Along the way, youll get an informative look at their vineyard trellising systems
and taste a wine or two grown from a specific trellis block. After the hike, theres a behind the
scenes tour of the winemaking facility and caves, followed by a seated tasting featuring five of
their current release wines. The Vineyard Hike is available year-round (weather permitting) and
is offered daily by appointment at 10:30 a.m. for $45 per person. Allow 90 minutes for hike and
tasting. Hiking shoes and apparel required. Club members receive one complimentary hike per

Estate Wine and Food Pairing


Savor the flavors of Dry Creek Valley through a Wine and Food Tasting Series. Served by
appointment under the shade of the tasting room patio, indulge in locally sourced cheeses and
charcuterie, along with homemade preserves and other culinary creations from the winerys
garden. Now featuring a Pico de Gallo made from estate-grown heirloom tomatoes paired with
their award-winning Ros (92 points from Wine & Spirits and rated Top Domestic Ros)a
blend of Zinfandel, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Ros is no longer just a summer sip (think

exclusive sells out. To reserve a Wine and Food Tasting, email info@fritzwinery.com or call

LEDSON WINERY & VINEYARDS


An Experience Like No Other
Nestled among 20-acres of estate vineyards, surrounded by picnic grounds with scattered
ancient oaks, emerges an architectural showpiece that was designed and built by fifth-generation
Sonoma County farmer and winemaker, Steve Ledson. Ledson Winery is known to locals and
visitors throughout the world as The Castle. It has become a destination estate with plenty of
options to make your wine country experience unforgettable. Ledson continues to produce
highly coveted, small-lot wines that showcase the absolute best that Sonoma County has to offer.

Approximately 90% of their wine is produced from estate-grown grapes from meticulously farmed
vineyards resulting in a superior wine portfolio where guests will inevitably find a wine that
delights their palates. A visit to any or all of the Ledson properties will certainly be the highlight of

distinguished Mayacamas Mountain range, in the Moon Mountain District. The two
very special Cabernet Sauvignons produced from this vineyard boast richness and
depth with layers of intensely bold fruit flavors; reminiscent of the adjacent Mount

SONOMA VALLEY << Wine Country This Week

B.R. Cohn Charity Events Announces 2015 Sonoma Music Festival

Tickets are now on sale for B.R. Cohn Charity Events (BRCCE)
2015 Sonoma Music Festival, October 2-4 at the Field of Dreams
near downtown Sonoma. Appearing at the successor to his fabled
28-year winery fall festival are Chicago and America on Friday
evening, October 2; Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band with Pablo
Cruise Saturday evening, October 3; and the Doobie Brothers with
Michael McDonald, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Gregg Allman,
the Edgar Winter Band, Tommy Castro and others Sunday
afternoon, October 4. Tickets and information are available on the
website at www.sonomamusicfestival.com or call 1-888-810-2063.
Tickets range from VIP experiences starting at $1000, $350 to
$219 for Gold Circle (Friday/Saturday) and $119 and $89 for
general admission seated tickets for all days. A limited amount of
$47 local Sonoma tickets for standing room only will be available
in person with locations announced soon. Special ticket packages,
including three-day tickets and limo packages, will also be
available through the website.

The Sonoma Music Festival was born from the desire of BRCCE
to change up its annual fall event formerly at B.R. Cohn Winery
and move it closer to town for a more community event. The new
Field of Dreams location not only puts the concert goer two
blocks from Sonomas Plaza, it allows the festival the opportunity
to grow and generate more proceeds for charity. This years
beneficiaries include national and local veterans organizations
including Fisher House and American Legion Post 489, the
Redwood Food Bank, Bread and Roses and others to be
announced. Over its 28-year history BRCCE has raised more than
6.5 million dollars for charity.
This is a very impressive three-day line-up, exclaimed Bruce
Cohn. Not only do we get to finally present a Beatle, but all of
these great acts are a perfect fit for Sonoma and wine country.
Come up to stay, shop and enjoy this great music-filled fundraising
weekend.
Plans call for the best music, food and wine Sonoma has to
offer. Many of the regions finest purveyors are joining in, including
Lagunitas Brewing, a pop-up HopMonk beer garden, high-end and
popular restaurants and, of course, some of the best wine in
California including B.R. Cohn and many others.
There will be no in and out privileges.

Wine Country This Week >> MENDOCINO/LAKE COUNTIES

Fort Ross-Seaview Wine Festival Returns with another Spectacular Line Up on October 17th
Food and Wine Festival Showcases Premier Coastal Wines Paired with Centuries Old Russian Heritage along California Coastal Wine Country
As the fog burns off of the hillsides, the magical beauty of the west
Sonoma coastline is uncovered at Fort Ross State Historic Park and
on October 17th, the third annual Fort Ross-Seaview Wine Festival
will showcase the wines and culinary cuisine from one of Sonoma
Countys most scenic and smallest American Viticultural Areas (AVA).
The Fort Ross-Seaview Wine Festival is hosted by the Fort RossSeaview Winegrowers Association (http://fortross-seaview.org), a
consortium of wineries and growers in the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA
dedicated to farming coastal cool grapes above the fog on the very
edge of the continent. This year, participating Fort Ross-Seaview AVA
wineries and vineyards include: Piazza Del Dotto (luncheon only),
Flowers Vineyard & Winery, Fort Ross
Vineyard & Winery, Kutch Wines,
Martinelli Winery, RAEN Winery, Tin
Barn Vineyards, Wayfarer Vineyard,
Wild Hog Vineyard and Precious
Mountain Vineyard/Williams Selyem.

Fort Ross-Seaview AVA


Although the area on the northern
Sonoma Coast was among the first in
California to produce high-quality
wine, it was not until 2012 when the
Fort Ross-Seaview AVA earned its
status as a distinct appellation. The AVA derives its name from
prominent local features: Fort Ross, the 1812 Russian-era fort where
the first Sonoma county grapes were planted in 1817, and the
Seaview community, located on the steep coastal ridges traversed by
Seaview Road which runs the length of the AVA and is one of the
states most scenic routes, offering spectacular views of the Pacific
Coast.
During the event, visitors will step back in time, taking in the
breathtaking views among acres of centuries old restored orchards
and imagining life here as a Russian settler in the early 1800s. This
special fall festival draws hundreds of visitors near and far to enjoy
family-friendly activities and celebrations of the Russian, Alaska
Native and Native American history that worked these lands two
hundred years ago.
Lester Schwartz, founder and owner of Fort Ross Vineyard &
Winery and a key figure behind the development of the Fort RossSeaview AVA, explains, The wine festival is a celebration of this rich
viticultural area producing distinct cool climate wines combined with
the strong Russian cultural presence which continues to thrive in this
diverse community.

Four-Course Luncheon
In addition to the Tasting Tent, the festival is also offering the
Grand Luncheon, which includes a four-course meal of seasonal fare
expertly paired with special reserve wines from the AVA, prepared by

renowned local chefs. The meal will be


presented on a scenic marine terrace
overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The featured
chefs and their culinary contributions
include five-time James Beard Award
nominee, writer and chef Michele Ana
Jordan; Barbara Hom, executive chef at Fort
Ross Vineyard; Chef Jamil Pedan of the
renowned Applewood Inn and Michelin
Star Chefs Andew and Liya Truoung of
Terrapin Creek in Bodega Bay.
Tickets for the Grand Luncheon are priced at $125 per person and
include entrance to the Grand Tasting Wine Tent, State Parks
entrance fee, along with access to the Harvest Festival entertainment
and activities. A limited number of Grand Luncheon tickets are
available online via advance purchase. Tickets to the Grand Wine
Tasting tent are $40 and include access to the wine tent, a selection of
local cheeses by Omar Mueller of Freestone Artisan Cheese as well as

through an assortment of on-site food trucks.
For more tickent information, visit fortross-seaview.org.
Festival attendees will be awed and entertained by traditional
Russian dancers and vocalists performing communal dances and
interpretive re-enactments of the Russians that farmed this remote
This family-friendly event is held in the Fort Ross Historic State Park
located at 19005 Coast Highway One, Jenner, CA. Please note that

Livermore Valley Wineries


Wente Vineyards Celebrating Five Generations in Wine in the Historic Livermore Valley
Livermore Valley, with its rich heritage and variety of wine
tasting experiences, should be a top destination that people
consider when planning their next wine country getaway. As the
countrys oldest, continuously operated, family-owned winery
and Californias First Family of Chardonnay, Wente Vineyards
would be a good place to start the journey. The winery, led by
fourth and fifth generation family members, has clearly proven
their leadership both in winegrowing and in being one of
Californias premier wine country destinations.
The Winemakers Studio is an option for consumers to learn
more about wine. This state-of-the-art wine education studio
offers an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at grape growing, wine

and food pairing, and wine tasting experiences for both the wine
novice and expert.
The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards uses locally grown organic
ingredients and features ingredient-driven California wine
country cuisine. While the menu holds its foundation in
American dishes, it is influenced by French and Italian provincial
cuisine. The seasonal menu changes daily, utilizing produce from
The Restaurants organic garden.
Wente Vineyards is also the only winery in Livermore Valley to
offer a championship 18-hole public golf course.
Family, food, entertainment, and of course, the wines beckon
visitors to experience the legacy that is Wente Vineyards.

Winegrowing Decisions

BY JOSH STEIN

Picking Decisions: Reds


Close your eyes and think back to the red wine that first hooked
you on wine. Think about its aromas and flavors, the magic on
contact, the depth and weight of its mid-palate, the length of time it
remained after swallowed. Was it a higher acid red, or was it tanninfilled? How noticeable was the oak, and how sweet or vibrant the
fruits? Believe it or not, that end picture is what we start with as our
target in mind as we go to pick and make wine from red grapes.
When we start to make picking decisions, there seem to be lots of
variables, like variety, Brix (sugar) levels, acid levels, maturity for
depth of flavor and color, upcoming weather, etc., but I start with the
processing in mind: how much color, intensity, tannin do we want in
the finished wine? Starting there makes the subsequent decisions less
overwhelming because they deliberately take options off the table.
Lower-alcohol, less-intensive wines call for lower Brix grapes handled
in an easier, old school fashion; higher-alcohol, fruit- or tanninbombs, in the parlance of our times, call for more extreme farming
and Brix levels and tend to involve extended pre- and postfermentation soakings. One style isnt better than the other,
especially as its more a spectrum than extremes, but there are
technical production differences.
Options abound: temperture control matters for reds as much as it
does for whites. Reds are generally done at higher temperatures than
whites, and as with any cooking, heat equals speed; for wine, that
means the potential to get too hot or go too fast, potentially killing
the yeast and leaving the fermentation stuck, which increases the
likelihood of other issues. About 85F is what we generally aim for
in reds, which will translate into about a week to ten days until
pressing and movement to barrels. Sometimes you want a little more
color release, so you let the temperature nudge into the low-90s;
sometimes you want to preserve more aroma, so you keep it low and
slow in the mid-70s, extending the fermentation a week or two or
more.
When you hear mention of house style, this is one of the ways in
which it comes about. Each wines fermentation may be its own little
ship at sea, if you will, but the winemaker is the admiral of them all,
pulling together a range of varieties through subtle tweaks. The
vessel used adds to this as larger tanks make it logistically easier in
some ways as there is less to get lost or done wrong than when
working with dozens of small tanks or bins, yet the potential for heat
issues can be greater because of the size of the columnar liquid
masses; its not easy to get 10,000 gallons up to temp, and its not
easy to stop it once its going, for example.
Equally, the method employed to cause agitation, punchdown or
pumpover, as well as the number of times done daily, has an impact.
Think of your personal style of letting a teabag steep (or not you
know who you are) and you have an analogous situation as agitation
causes more mixing of liquids and solids in the fermenting must.
Even when done, there are stylistic choices: post-fermentation

contact with the gross lees or separation into barrels, casks or tanks
before fermentation is even fully done?
Intensity, of course, leads to discussions of alcohol and sugar.
Residual sugar is actually something which is easy to control if the
winemaking is detail-oriented. Fermentation is never the same twice,
but each and every one can and must be tracked for temperature,
yeast health, amounts and kinds of nutrients, Brix and alcohol, and
other leading indicators of how well and how fast the conversion of
sugars to alcohols and malic to lactic acid, if applicable, is happening.
Arresting the fermentation, pulling the emergency break, if you will,
is generally done through shutting down the temperature and adding
enough sulfites to knock out the yeast. Its more of a coast than a
dead stop, however, with attention to the numbers and experience
being the producers of desired results. This is obviously aided or
held back by the starting Brix levels, as noted above.
I like to think of fine winemaking as very much akin to fine
cooking and baking, so its no wonder the two go hand in hand in
wine country. We strive through our winegrowing, like the chef who
grows and raises her own flora and flauna, to produce fantastic
ingredients for which we have recipes developed through
education, time in others cellars and experience. The next time you
sip a red, think about what decisions were or were not made, and
consider, too, what you would have done the same or differently had
the recipe been yours to tweak. Enjoy!
