INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER


BY LEN NAPOLITANO

How does wine get color?


How wine achieves color is dependent partly upon the grape variety, the size of the grape berry and the exposure to oxygen of the juice. But mostly, it depends on the duration of the juice-to-skin contact. Though seldom done, it is possible to make white wine from red grapes, but red wine can only be made from red grapes. In red winemaking, colorless juice is released as red grapes are crushed and then pumped into a stainless steel tank or plastic bin. As skins break open, color pigments in the skins make contact with the juice; juice darkens and gets more intense color with longer skin contact. This skin-and-juice contact period, called maceration, or cold-soaking, could last from a few hours to a couple of weeks, depending on the wine and winemakers preferences. At some point during maceration, the fermentation process may start, either by natural yeast, or through the winemakers manual addition of a commercially packaged, cultured yeast. Fermentation is visibly evident from a bubbling surface of the juice caused by the release of carbon dioxide gas and heat as sugar converts to alcohol. The gas pressure inside this dense mixture of juice, grape pulp, skins, seeds and stems, called must, causes the solids to rise to the top. And the biggest contributor to color grape skins is trapped within this top layer of solids as the relatively clear juice stays below it not good if you want red wine to actually be red. To extract color, this cap of solids has to be manually pushed back into the juice, or punched down, to keep the pigment-rich skins in contact with as much juice as possible during maceration and fermentation. When fermentation takes place inside plastic bins or oak barrels that stand upright with one end open, punch-down is done manually several times a day using a long-stemmed, punchdown tool. When juice ferments inside large stainless steel tanks too large to punch down by hand, juice is instead directed from the bottom of the tank through a hose and into a pump, which sends the wine back to the top of the tank. This version of red wine colorextraction process is called a pump-over. Before white wine is fermented, grape juice is separated from the skins as soon as possible by immediately pressing the grapes with mechanical force to break them open and then pumping juice away from skins while it is still relatively clear. Even though the skins of white grapes are light green, yellow, or golden, they may still contribute color if left in contact with the juice. Some winemakers extend contact time to extract as much aroma as possible from white grape skins but not long enough to add too much color or increase bitterness. The juice from pressing is then sent into a stainless steel tank and mixed with yeast to start fermentation. The pressing step is also applied to red winemaking, however it comes after fermentation finishes, when virtually all sugar is converted to alcohol. But prior to red wine pressing, an initial volume of free-run wine is allowed to gravity-flow freely from its mass of skins and solids. Typically dark purple, it may be a little cloudy, but relatively clean compared to whats left behind. Pressing red wine squeezes out the last amounts of wine from the leftover, skin-rich mass of solids. This dark, press wine is considered lower quality than free-run wine because of its harsher taste, but the extent to which it will be added to lighter free-run wine allows the winemaker to control the intensity of final wine color and texture.

BY JOSH STEIN

Cork and Its Friends in the Enclosure Business


It seems like at least one in every three conversations I have with people in the wine trade, whatever the ostensible reason for the chat was, ends up discussing cork and its alternatives. With more than four billion bottles domestically purchased last year, youd think this would be a settled issue, but, alas, the inverse is true: the more wine we make and sell, the more options of bottle enclosures we have, not less, and some packaging solutions dont even involve bottles or enclosures as we normally think of them at all! Rather than all or nothing, the discussion is now more about matching use to enclosure type for best effect. Cork for an enclosure rose naturally enough given its the bark of different species of oak trees, and oak is one of the traditional woods for barrel staves, so it makes sense to get the most out of whats already being used. What is not so well known is that it takes almost three decades of growth and several bark harvests, separated by seven years or more, before the first true harvesting of premium cork-level material is possible since they are vertically, not horizontally, drilled from the bark. Cork is one hundred percent natural, but its long lag time growing to that thickness makes it less than ideal in todays global, accelerated wine world. Thus have evolved a number of alternatives to the pure, grade one cork, which, not incidentally, can run most of a dollar each for the best quality even when purchasing large volumes. The simplest of these other options involve different forms of the same natural cork but in combination with various stabilizers to allow smaller pieces of cork to be formed into the standard wine cork shape. Known as technical or agglomerated corks, these provide an affordable solution which gives most of the same oxygen transmission and enclosure

performance at a much more affordable cost. It also allows earlier harvesting of bark and the use of more of it without waste, always of import in agriculture. A middle ground between these two comes by way of the sparklng wine producer, whose corks require a special shape and performance because of the extra pressure from bottle fermentation; their most common cork uses two disks of natural cork on the stalk of the mushroom with agglomerated technical cork making up the cap of the remainder. The still wines twin top does the same thing, but with a disk on both ends and technical cork sandwiched between. Maintaining the shape but substituting alternate materials entirely are a vast range of wholely artificial extruded corks made of various food grade plastics and silicons. Moving away from a wine cork shape altogether takes us to the twist top, more formally known as the Stelvin enclosure; a liner can be employed to precisely control the oxygen transmission rate, but there is no head-turning thunk of the pulled cork. There is also the Zork, which combines artificial materials with an unwrapping process, and glass stoppers, which work best as a cork stopper replacement except for one thing: the O-ring necessary to mate the glass stopper with the glass bottle is the crucial element in how effective the stopper is. As you can see, while the common wisdom is that once the grapes are in and the aging in barrel is done all the problems are over, the reality is that until the wine is in consumers mouths, there are decisions to make and potential problems to avoid every step along the way. No enclosure solves all the problems or works for all uses, and so producers have to consider individually the best way to make the experience of optimally enjoying a wine. Keep that in mind the next time you reach for your opener and enjoy!

THE CORLEY FAMILYS MONTICELLO VINEYARDS


The year was 1969. Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the moon; the New York Mets were on their way to their first National League pennant; Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was topping the years box office sales. And an intrepid young Midwesterner, yearning to answer the call of his ancestors, was scouring Napa Valley for the perfect piece of land on which to plant the family flag. Now, on the eve of Jay Corleys 82nd birthday, he looks back at his 40+ years in the Napa Valley and looks forward to the next generations taking the reins of the Corley Familys Monticello Vineyards.

A Dream Takes Root


In 1969, the Stanford-educated Corley was running a successful publicly traded company in Los Angeles, but wanted to trade his three-piece suit for overalls. After all, farming was in his blood. Every generation of my family for 400 years has been farmers. As a boy, I loved spending time on my grandfathers farm in southern Illinois. I just always wanted to get back to farming. At the time, Corleys friend, a wine shop owner in Los Angeles, was developing a piece of property in Yountville. He invited Corley to come for a visit, and Corley was hooked. I would come up nearly every weekend for nine months to see what was going on here. I would just roam around, get to know people, ask questions. There werent many people around, but the ones who were, as Corley lists the names of contemporary Napa Valley pioneers and icons, were very helpful. A self-described Burgundy guy with a taste for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Corley was looking for a place where those varieties would thrive. He found it in an 80-acre prune orchard at the southern end of Napa Valley. He liked the propertys proximity to the cooling breezes of the San Pablo Bay and the fact that it sat next to the Napa River. I didnt think of being on Highway 29 to capture visitors; I wanted to be on the river because I knew access to water would be essential. Once the property was cleaned up, Corley didnt cut corners planting the vineyard. We used all of the new technology coming out of Davis. We tested the soil

Open daily from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Reserve tasting by advance reservation (707) 253-2802 | www.CorleyFamilyNapaValley.com Wine@CorleyFamilyNapaValley.com

everywhere, and we drilled holes in the ground to see how the water was flowing. Then we planted the vines closer together than most people were doing in those days to stress them.

The Next Generation


Things went well enough those first years to make Corley think, We can do this. Soon the successful winegrower wanted to build a winery. As a graduate student years earlier, Corley had written a thesis on starting up a winery. He opened his desk drawer, dusted off the old thesis, and got started. All seven of Corleys children helped out at the winery during their high school years. But Corley encouraged them to go off, experience the world outside of the winery where they had grown up, and then come back if they wanted. Kevin Corley, now Winegrower and President, became a successful banker in Los Angeles. Stephen Corley, now the winerys Director of Sales and Marketing, was a CPA who worked at the accounting firm KPMG before he came back to the winery in 1997. Chris Corley, the youngest of the three, has worked at the winery the longest. Initially aiming to be a marine biologist, Chris eventually decided he would rather drown in wine than sea water. He worked in the cellar under other winemakers for 13 years before he earned enough stripes to become Head Winemaker in 2002. Now the three brothers form a harmonious management team. Three of them is better than one of me, says the senior Corley.

The Jefferson Connection


Jay Corley was a great admirer of Thomas Jefferson, who was not only a founding father but also Americas first great connoisseur. He honored the third President by naming the winery Monticello Vineyards - after Jeffersons mountaintop home in Charlottesville, Virginia. In 1984, the Corleys built the Jefferson House, a very close replica of Monticello, on the Home Ranch that is now used as office space and to entertain guests. The four acres of grounds surrounding the Jefferson House are comprised of the same trees, shrubs and flowers Thomas Jefferson planted at Monticello.

Savor the Taste, Experience the Hospitality


In the quaint, rustic tasting room, the staff pours a little bit of everything the Corleys produce from 80 acres of vines on the Home Ranch in the Oak Knoll District as well as four other estate vineyards in Napa Valley. With 30 vintages under their belts, the Corleys like to show off their library wines in reserve tastings in the Jefferson House. Slip into the comfortable black leather chairs and enjoy a flight of our wines, People come for one or two wines, Stephen Corley says, but they usually leave with it all!

Please enjoy our wines responsibly. 2014 Provenance Vineyards, Rutherford, CA

Provenance Vineyards, as the name suggests, is all about what goes on in the vineyard. Winemakers Tom Rinaldi and Chris Cooney have developed close grower relations and spend a great deal of time walking the vineyards. Their minimal intervention during winemaking ensures that each wine shows off the unique personality of its origin. The key to their success is the time and energy they put into the only thing that truly matters in wine: the land. Indeed, provenance means origin or source, and can be used to refer to the complete record of ownership that establishes an artworks authenticity beyond question. In winemaking, provenance points to a wines origins how one can trace what is in the glass directly back to the vineyard. This name was chosen for the winery because all of its releases are made from grapes that come from hallowed ground in the winemaking world. In other words, the resulting wines are works of art in the bottle because they clearly show the uniqueness of their origins. Provenances vineyards, whether they are owned directly by the winery or by some of the valleys best growers, are historic and well-known sites. Most winemakers never encounter vineyards of this quality during their careers; the winemakers at Provenance have access to several. These include the Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard, Provenance Vineyards Rutherford estate, the Three Palms Vineyard in Calistoga, the Beckstoffer Las Amigas Vineyard in Carneros, and the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, which has been producing internationally recognized, award-winning Cabernets since 1889.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | ON THE COVER

Adjacent to the winery itself is the Hewitt Vineyard, first planted more than 130 years ago, and from which only one wine is made: the limited-release Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon. Rather than using other varietals as part of a blend, Tom Rinaldi uses the best grapes from a variety of clones in the fifty-eight-acre vineyard to achieve each years bottling. Its celebrated, enticing note of violet is a hallmark of the vineyard, not present in wines from other Rutherford locations. Tasting Provenance wines is something special. Unlike many other wineries, Provenances property evokes Old Napa the minute you move away from the highway. The red farmhouse that greets you is surrounded by vineyards and an extensive lawn, which is how 19th-century winemakers throughout the valley laid out their winery homesteads. Inside, the tasting room is bright and airy, with high ceilings and an art-gallery feel. The intimacy of the room is accented by the floor, which is made from the barrelheads and staves from 960 barrels from the winerys first vintage, and by a large window that overlooks the goings-on in the barrel room. Provenance is well known for its Cabernets and Merlots, but a number of extremely small bottlings cant be found elsewhere. These include the aforementioned Beckstoffer To Kalon Cab do not miss out! as well as library releases of small-lot Merlots and aged Cabernets, the Bordeaux-style Winemakers Reserve Blend, and the delicious Ruby Cabernet Port. We come to Napa for wines with a certain attitude, for wines that let us know they came from one exact special spot. The winemakers at Provenance Vineyards, thanks to the quality of their vineyards, produce wines that do just that. Enjoy!

MARTORANA FAMILY WINERY


An Authentic Dry Creek Experience
BY SUE STRAIGHT, THE WINE WENCH

Open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 5956 West Dry Creek Road, Healdsburg, CA (707) 433-1909 | www.martoranafamilywinery.com

Their tagline is An Authentic Dry Creek Experience and in my humble opinion, thats exactly what you get at Martorana Family Winery. What is an authentic Dry Creek experience? you may ask. Well, Ill tell you Located about an hours drive north from San Francisco, sits the historic wine-drenched hamlet of Healdsburg, which is the hub of three main wine valleys; Russian River, best known for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay; Alexander, best known for Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc; and Dry Creek, best known for Zinfandel and a smattering of Italian and Rhne varietals. Along with different varietals, each valley has its own unique personality. The Dry Creek Valleys personality is a bit rustic, yet its elegant in its own unassuming way. As you drive from Healdsburg up gently curving, narrow, vineyard-lined West Dry Creek Road, you may just feel the weight of the world slide off your shoulders. Hawks wheel overhead and Dry Creek burbles merrily nearby. At Martorana Family Winery, you can actually walk down to Dry Creek and dip your toes in the water. There are three shady spots with picnic tables by the creek, where you may stop and sit a while, and if youre lucky, you may see salmon swimming upstream as you sip your wine. The Martorana Family has been growing grapes in the Dry Creek Valley for over thirty years and they have been using organic farming practices since 2005. They are committed to organic farming practices and, in fact, all of the estate grown wine (and olive oil) they produce is organic. They are certified by CCOF , California Certified Organic Farmers. Another interesting earth-friendly feature at the winery is the living roof. The building that houses the winery and tasting room was designed to create something in the landscape, rather than impose something on the landscape. With that concept in mind, the building is set into a hillside and the roof is planted with an attractive array of flowers, vegetables and native plants. Visitors are encouraged to walk on the roof and take in the sweeping views of the Dry Creek Valley. The overall vibe at Martorana Family Winery is one of relaxed, yet understated rustic elegance. The building is constructed of local fieldstone, which has a warm, golden tone and the surrounding grounds are landscaped with drought-friendly native plants and shaded by old oak trees. Several picnic tables dot the grounds and a bocce court invites friendly competitions. The tasting room sits in the front corner of the winery, so visitors really get to experience the working winery atmosphere. During harvest, owner/ winemaker Gio Martorana crushes grapes right in front of the winery and visitors are welcome to see, smell, touch and taste the fruits of his labors, as the grapes come in, during the fermentation process and as finished wine (which is absolutely delicious, by the way!). Gio also makes wonderful olive oil from his estate grown, organically farmed olives. The olive press sits off to the side in the winery and visitors can watch that process as well. If you are planning a visit to the Dry Creek Valley, dont miss this hidden gem of a winery! Tell em the Wine Wench sent you!

Lets talk about the wines at Bennett Lane. Their brochure boasts Home of 34 90+ Wines (meaning that 34 of their wines scored 90 points or over in various well-respected wine publications), and I can see why! Their wines are amazing and reasonably priced, too! I tasted a handful of wines during my visit, but the following two wines were my favorites: 2009 Maximus ($35) This delicious blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Syrah, 5% Malbec, 4% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot is elegant, complex and well-balanced, with abundant aromas and flavors of dark cherry, plum and cassis, which continue through the silkysmooth mouthfeel and on through the finish. 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon ($55) This is Cab with a capital C! Mouthwatering aromas of black cherry, mocha, caramel and baking spices continue as flavors in the seductively rich, velvety mouth. It is perfectly balanced, with a long, luscious finish. Dont miss Bennett Lane Winery on your next visit to Napa Valley!

SUMMERS WINERY
BY SUE STRAIGHT, THE WINE WENCH

SUMMERS WINERY Open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 1171 Tubbs Lane, Calistoga CA 94515 (707) 942-5508 | www.summerswinery.com

Are you craving an unpretentious, comfortable, delicious tasting experience in the Napa Valley? If so, Summers Winery is a must-stop for you. Conveniently located at the northern end of the Napa Valley, Summers Winery welcomes visitors from all over the globe. The buildings that house the winery and tasting room are a warm goldenrod color, complimented by white accents and red tile roofs. Vineyards and natural landscaping surround the buildings and a fountain burbles merrily in the front courtyard, welcoming you in. There are two picnic areas, one with a regulation Bocce court and plenty of umbrella-shaded picnic tables. The whole vibe at Summers Winery is one of understated elegance, with a big emphasis on relax and stay a while. It all started back in 1987, when Jim Summers originally purchased a 28-acre vineyard in Knights Valley (hence their heraldic horse head logo), which was mostly planted with Merlot and a smattering of Muscat Canelli. In 1996, the Summers family expanded their vineyard holdings by purchasing 25 acres at the corner of Highway 128 and Tubbs Lane. This property is home base for the winery/tasting room/entertainment center and is planted with Zinfandel, Charbono and Cabernet Sauvignon. Summers Winerys staff is friendly and knowledgeable and Owner, Beth Summers is often on site to welcome visitors. The tasting room is bright and cheery, with earth tone walls and plush rugs covering hardwood and tile floors. A brick fireplace sits at the ready to warm visitors on chilly days. The tasting bar commands attention in the middle of the room, inviting visitors to step right up. Charbono is the signature wine at Summers Winery and I can tell you first-hand that it is absolutely delicious! The 2010 Charbono is loaded with aromas and flavors of ripe black cherry, blackberry and peppery spice, all wrapped up in a big, rich mouthfeel and ready to drink now. I also really enjoyed the 2010 Merlot it was silky and seductively rich, with abundant aromas and flavors of potpourri spice, plum and cherry. Private tours, barrel tasting and walking tours are available by appointment. Take it from me, put on your walking shoes and some comfortable clothes and book a walking tour the area surrounding the winery is absolutely gorgeous! Along with your tour, plan to taste some wonderful wines, relax and play some bocce and let the worries of the world slide off of your shoulders at Summers Winery!

The move to the Craneway Pavilion provides us with a worldclass venue, breathtaking views of San Francisco Bay, and greater accessibility with improved parking, highway access and public transit options for our attendees, explained David Gates, President of the Rhone Rangers Board of Directors. Private ferry service will be available for our San Francisco-based fans for a safe and fun way to travel to-and-from the event. For those who would prefer to use BART we will provide round-trip complimentary shuttle service to the Craneway from the El Cerrito BART Station. There are also thousands of parking spaces available for attendees who will be traveling by car from the North Bay, East Bay, Sacramento and South Bay. My vision for the renovation of Ford Point, including the stunning Craneway Pavilion was to utilize the award winning architecture of Albert Kahn and offer the ultimate San Francisco Bay

Area special event venue, perfect for food and wine events. The Rhone Rangers wine event adds to the realization of this vision and we are thrilled that they have chosen the Craneway as the new home for their signature Bay Area event, said Eddie Orton, Orton Development Inc. Orton undertook the $40 million restoration of the historic Ford Assembly Plant several years ago to create a state-of-theart event center that would capitalize on its landmark architecture and unique waterfront site to attract dynamic events to the East Bay. Tickets are now on sale and the public is invited to purchase them online at www.rhonerangers.org. For more information, call 1-800467-0163.

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.

ST. FRANCIS WINERY & VINEYARDS


Voted #1 Restaurant in America by Open Table
BY ALEXANDRA CHARSLEY

Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 100 Pythian Road, Santa Rosa CA 95409 1-888-675-WINE | www.stfranciswinery.com

Voted #1 Restaurant in America in 2013 by Open Table Diners, St. Francis Winery & Vineyards ZAGAT-recommended farm-to-table wine and food pairing should not be missed. Wine and food pairings are a wonderful introduction to the vast bounty found in Sonoma, and Winery Executive Chef David Bush has an unconventional approach to pairing the best Sonoma County ingredients with the exceptional, hand-crafted wines of St. Francis. This wine and food pairing experience features a multi-course tasting menu, and Chef Bush is wildly creative, as his passion for intense flavors shines in every pairing. Following none of the typical rules, he focuses solely on flavor, choosing local, estate and sustainably-farmed ingredients that showcase the wines and surprise guests with the depth, complexity and often unconventionality of his pairings. Seasonal ingredients keep the menu fresh and rotate around every eight weeks or so. Family-style seating promotes an intimate and casual atmosphere that engages all guests in conversation, much like being at a friends dinner party. With a lovely fireplace and plentiful views surrounding the dining room, its always a great time to visit. Advance reservations are required and can be booked online. Three scheduled seatings at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, and two scheduled seatings at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays. Price: $50 plus tax (20% discount for St. Francis Wine Club Members). For more than four decades, St. Francis has hand-crafted fruit-forward, luscious and full-bodied wines from the superior mountain and valley vineyards in Sonoma Countys best appellations. These wines are recognized globally for outstanding quality and great value. Wine critic Robert Parker just rated the 2010 Lagomarsino Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 95 points and 92 points for the 2011 My Fathers Vineyard in Dry Creek Valley, 2011 Giovanetti Vineyard Zinfandel in Russian River Valley and the 2011 Amann Vineyard Zinfandel in Dry Creek Valley.

Sonoma Tastemakers Food and Wine Program


New Program Follows Winerys #1 Restaurant in America Rating
Their commitment to showcase the best of Sonoma extends to the new Sonoma Tastemakers Food and Wine Program, featuring the best of Sonoma County. Each month the winerys mission-style tasting room will host a different Sonoma producer, purveyor, or company to share artisan products and stories. St. Francis staff will pair wines to accompany the products and share insight on the pairing process. Weve always believed in discussing the relationship of wine and food with our guests, from our seasonal dinners to our ZAGAT-recommended Wine & Food Pairing, named #1 Restaurant in America last month by Open Table diners. This new program gives us the opportunity to celebrate all of the wonderful producers in Sonoma County and allows our guests to experience wine tasting in a new way, notes St. Francis Winery President & CEO Christopher Silva.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | SONOMA VALLEY

Eighth Street Wineries Sonoma Annual Open House


Nine Wineries in one location
Eighth Street Wineries Sonoma announces their highly anticipated 2014 Annual Open House happening Saturday, February 22, from noon to 4 p.m. Off the beaten path yet just five minutes from Sonoma Plaza, nine wineries open their cellar doors for this special event. Enjoy this unique chance to visit all nine wineries in one stop, park once and spend the afternoon. Stroll through the stretch of warehouses, glass in hand and savor various pairings by local chefs. Its likely youll meet the winemakers themselves in this intimate setting, a rare opportunity, as many of these special gem wineries are typically closed to the public. Enjoy small-batch wines and hard to find wines: a special occasion for any wine lover! Advance tickets may be purchased online at eighthstreetwineries.com. Tickets will also be available at the door of each participating winery on the day of the event. Tickets are $40 in advance or $45 at the door, which includes a wine tasting glass and access to all participating wineries event tastings and activities. A Designated Driver ticket is also available for $10. Tickets, detailed event information and a map may be obtained at the door of participating wineries. We look forward to this event every year. It gives us, along with those not normally open to the public, the opportunity to open up our cellar doors and connect with people on a personal level. All while sharing some of Sonomas highly sought after wines and savoring pairings by local chefs. says Michael Lancaster, winemaker/ co-owner of Tin Barn Vineyards. The nine participating wineries are Anaba Wines, Enkidu Wines, MacRostie Winery and Vineyards, Parmelee-Hill Vineyards, Stone Edge Farm, Talisman Wines, Three Sticks Wines, Tin Barn Vineyards and Ty Caton Vineyards Eighth Street Sonoma Wineries Association excels in uniting the community in the enjoyment of locally produced artisan wines.
