INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER


BY LEN NAPOLITANO

Why do some dry wines taste sweet?


A common new-wine-drinker experience happens when you taste
a dry wine and declare, It tastes sweet! Although its possible for a
dry wine to have a tiny amount of residual sugar leftover after
fermentation, in most cases it is too small to be detectable on the
palate. In these cases, wines give an impression of sweetness, but they
are not sweet wines.
Its easy to be misled. Even when a wine contains zero residual
sugar, an impression of sweetness might come from an oversupply of
alcohol or fruit, or an insufficient level of acidity. Either high alcohol
creates a sense of sweetness, or a big, bold, fruit-bomb wine
explodes with flavor from the moment it hits your tongue and makes
you think its a sweet wine.
Just about every dry wine contains a tiny dose of undetectable,
unfermented sugar too small for the producer to even mention.
This can work in a positive way, determined by your overall
impression of the wine. It might contribute just enough to the wine
to balance acidity and tannin, and allow you to focus on the wines
seamless, delicious flavor.
Wines with less than two grams per liter of residual sugar

(sometimes stated in percentage as 0.2%) are categorized as


completely dry, as the threshold for detecting sweetness starts for
most people at around 4 grams per liter. But even at 4 grams per liter,
sweetness still may not be noticeable because acidity balances it,
making the wine taste relatively dry.
Here are examples of some popular wines with varying degrees of
sweetness:
The popular Rex Goliath Merlot, a dry wine, contains 4 grams per
liter of residual sugar.
Sweet low-alcohol Moscato, such as made by Barefoot, has
residual sugar around 64 grams per liter, while some other Moscatos
are as high as 120 grams per liter. You are not reducing calorie
consumption by choosing a low-alcohol wine with significant
residual sugar.
The classic French wine, Sauternes, viscous and elegantly sweet,
has about 150 grams per liter.
Although rare today, the worlds original great sweet wine,
Hungarian Tokaji Essencia (also spelled Tokay) has residual sugar
content between 400 and 500 grams per liter, and sometimes higher
than 800 grams!
Counteracting components like acidity can make residual sugar an
imperceptible, but significant contributor to the wines pleasing
impression on the palate. Its all about balance.

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!

BALDACCI FAMILY VINEYARDS


Vineyards, Winemaking and Guest Experience A Winning Combination
BY MICHELLE J. BAKER

BALDACCI FAMILY VINEYARDS


Open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. by prior appointment
6236 Silverado Trail, Napa
www.baldaccivineyards.com | (707) 944-9261

This is what I imagine Stags Leap District to be like about 30


years ago. An unpretentious, slightly askew winery sign along the
road. A dirt and gravel driveway leading through the vineyard. A
cozy tasting room just a bit larger than a breadbox. And a few people
genuinely happy you found them and quite proud to show you their
wares.
Welcome to Baldacci Family Vineyards, started in 1997 when
Tom and Brenda Baldacci purchased this sweet 17-acre parcel with
ample hills and vales to provide the ideal setting to grow great
Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2000, the Baldaccis added a 7,000-squarefoot wine production cave in the hillside behind the tasting room.
The estate vineyard now produces classic Stags Leap District
Cabernet Sauvignon silky-textured with ripe black fruit flavors and
refined tannins, ready to enjoy now or ageworthy up to 10 years.
The highly acclaimed wines at Baldacci are the handiwork of
renowned winemaker Rolando Herrera, who got his start down the
trail at Stags Leap Cellars. Herrera went on to make wine at Chateau
Potelle, Vine Cliff and Paul Hobbs before returning to the Stags Leap
District to work with the Baldaccis. Herrera also makes his own wine
under his own label, Mi Sueo, and has a vineyard management
company that manages the Baldaccis 20-acre Carneros vineyard
(planted to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, Gewrztraminer and
Merlot).
Baldacci produces two Stags Leap District Cabernets in all. Their
flagship wine is the Brendas Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, which is
tough to get your hands on at just 180 cases produced annually.
Brendas Vineyard represents the best of the best the best seven
barrels from the best vineyard block on the estate. The Black Label
Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is the Baldaccis ambassador wine,
representing the best fruit from different blocks of the estate
vineyard.
The Baldaccis Carneros vineyard came on line in 2008, and now
the tasting room offers a few wines from the Carneros estate:
including the 2010 Elizabeth Pinot Noir (named after Toms
mother), the 2011 Sorelle Chardonnay (named after Toms sisters),
the 2009 Allwin Syrah (named for Toms grandmother) and the
2009 IV Sons Fraternity Red Blend which uses the Merlot and the
Syrah from the Cuttings Wharf property and blends that with the
Cabernet Sauvignon from the Estate in the Stags Leap District. The
IV Sons wine is named after the Baldaccis four boys it really is all
in the family! Baldaccis winery permit requires that visitors have a
prior appointment. Its easy to get an appointment, often on the
same day, by calling (707) 944-9261. The staff will be genuinely
happy to see you, and quite proud of their wines and their newly
remodeled tasting room.

Michael Martini has been carefully handcrafting wines on the family


estate for thirty-seven years and is the third-generation Martini winemaker.
The Louis M. Martini Winery is one of Californias most treasured and
historic properties and crafts classic California wines that are well made,
rich and expertly balanced.
That kind of consistency comes with decades of experience.
For Martini, it started in 1933, when Louis M. Martini, an immigrant
from Genoa, Italy, founded the winery. In 1954, he passed the baton to his
son, Louis P., who expanded and modernized the winery. In 1977, his son
Michael became the winemaker.
Growing up in his fathers and grandfathers vineyards, Michael got a
hands-on education in the art of crafting world-class wines and then
followed with his education continuing in the world-renowned
winemaking program at the University of California, Davis. After
graduation he worked with his father to develop his own winemaking style
crafting deeply textured Cabernet blends. When asked what he learned
from his father that a formal winemaking education couldnt teach,
Michael replied, The definition of balance It starts with the grape,
which is why we call our picks by taste, not numbers. You need to see the
final balance of your wine in the grape and then apply techniques to

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINE COUNTRY NEWS


extract what you see while
maintaining the balance.
In 1981, he traveled
throughout France with another
winemaking legend, Andre
Tchelistcheff to explore artisan
winemaking techniques in
Bordeaux and Burgundy. When
asked what he learned from
Tchelistcheff he replied, I
learned that each wine has its
own personality, much like
raising children. Your response
to a specific wine is based upon
that wines personality.
Last September the Louis M.
Martini Winery celebrated their
80th anniversary of creating the
flagship wine of the Napa Valley:
Cabernet Sauvignon.
One of the most famous
vineyards in the Martini portfolio
is the Goldstein Ranch on the
Sonoma side of the Mayacamas
Mountains which was purchased
in 1938. Once an active volcano,
Louis renamed the property
Monte Rosso Vineyard for its
mountaintop setting and red
volcanic soil. Cabernet and
Zinfandel were planted as early
as 1890 and this historic
vineyard was the foundation for
Louis M. Martini wines and
helped catapult Northern
California into the world wine
marketplace.
For the serious enophile and
collector, Martini produces some
of the best Cabernet in the valley
including 2012 Sonoma County
Cabernet Sauvignon, 2011
Alexander Valley Cabernet
Sauvignon, 2010 Napa Valley
Cabernet Sauvignon, 2010 Lot
No. 1 Napa Valley Cabernet
Sauvignon, and the world
renowned 2010 Monte Rosso
Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.

La Crema Launches Virtual Vintner Experience


New Digital Approach to Winemaking with Crowd-Created Wine
La Crema Winery recently launched Virtual Vintner a digital
experience that engages consumers in an interactive program
resulting in a unique, crowd-created La Crema wine.
Affording participants an intimate and hands-on invitation behind
the scenes of an artisan winery, Virtual Vintner provides an
opportunity to embark on a choose your own adventure-style
winemaking journey, learning about wine while taking an active role
in its creation. Decision points along the way include varietal,
appellation, specific vineyard and barrel treatment, as well as wine
name and label design, with educational information at every step to
help participants make their choice. Popular vote will determine the
path, and ultimately the finished wine. The experience began on
August 11 with the wine scheduled to be released in late fall 2015.
One of the most fulfilling aspects of winemaking is the ability to
collaborate with our vineyard and winemaking teams. Bringing the
process to the web gives me the chance to share that experience, said
Elizabeth Grant-Douglas, winemaker, La Crema. This new approach
to winemaking offers a fun and accessible way for wine lovers to
engage in-depth with the many facets of wine. I cannot wait to start
connecting our Virtual Vintner community with this centuries-old
craft via a modern means of communication and learning.
With videos and winemaking education from Grant-Douglas,
interactive maps, food and wine pairing quizzes, lessons on wine
fundamentals and more, La Crema Virtual Vintner presents a
dynamic platform for casual wine drinkers and sophisticated
enthusiasts alike to further their curiosity about and passion for wine.
La Crema is calling on virtual vintners to join the winemaking
process. From vine to bottle, each participant will help chart the
course to a new La Crema wine via eight key decisions. Stages include:
Fermentation, September 1-7: The critical period when the grape
juice turns into wine, participants will choose between several yeast
options that kick off the fermentation process.
Barrel Type, September 8-14: Further impacting the flavor and
texture profile of the wine, participants will choose barrel toast
profiles and use of new French Oak.
Barrel Time, September 15-21: One of the final decisions is to

determine how long to age the wine.


Harvest Updates and Sensory Contest, September 22-October 15:
Through email and social media updates, participants will receive
details on harvest. There will also be an opportunity to partake in
the Sensory Contest which will give participants the chance to
create their own flavor profile of the wine, based on the results of
all the previous decisions. The winemaker will create her own
tasting notes and the closest contestant to the real profile will win
a cash prize.
Wine Name and Label Design, October 2014-February 2015: The
final stages of the program will include choosing the wine name
and developing the label design to be completed by February 2015.
Participants will then receive monthly progress updates and the
chance to purchase the wine when it is released in late fall 2015.
By the end of the program, members of La Cremas Virtual
Vintner community will not only have gained winemaking
expertise, but will have a wine to call their very own, to savor and
share with friends and family. Participants may join the experience at
any point in the process by visiting www.LaCrema.com or connect
with La Crema on Facebook or Twitter.
Through September 21, participants will have the opportunity to
enter the La Crema Wine Country Experience Sweepstakes. One
winner will receive a trip for two to wine country which includes
airfare, two nights of accommodations, and exclusive tours and
education with winemaker Elizabeth Grant-Douglas. For official
sweepstakes rules, visit http://vv.lacrema.com. Must be 21 or over to
enter, and no purchase is necessary to enter or win. Odds depend on
number of entrants. This sweepstakes is void where prohibited.
La Crema is widely loved for handcrafted Chardonnay, Pinot Noir
and new Pinot Gris. For more than 30 years, the family-owned and
operated winery has focused exclusively on Californias cool-climate
coastal appellations, where ocean winds and fog allow grapes to ripen
slowly on the vine. Winemaker Elizabeth Grant-Douglas continues to
use boutique, time-intensive techniques to produce distinctively
balanced and elegant wines. For more about La Crema, including
pairing ideas and recipes, visit www.LaCrema.com or follow LaCrema

Cucina di Rosa Trattoria Opens at Charles Krug


Charles Krug now delights locals and epicurean pilgrims to Napa
Valleys wine country with its new Cucina di Rosa Italian trattoria.
The Cucinas realization was the final element of a $9.5 million
restoration and beautification of the Redwood Cellar Building
designed by noted architect Howard Backen. Named in honor of the
winerys matriarch Rosa Mondavi, and launched to commemorate the
100th birthday of her son, Peter, the opening brings the renovation of
the historic winery and property full circle.
Cucina di Rosa is open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, from
10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. With a menu designed by Napa Valley celebrity
chef, Richard Haake, the trattoria offers a variety of rustic panini
sandwiches, antipasti, salads as well as traditional Italian snack items
designed to pair beautifully with Charles Krugs estate wines.
Meant to reflect the entertaining style that epitomizes the Italian
heritage of proprietor Peter Mondavi Sr. and his family, guests have
the option to dine in the spacious tasting room or picnic on the treecovered grounds. Says Chef Haake, Our inspiration is Rosa, but our
focus isnt so much on her
recipes but her gracious
hospitality. Rosa was always
quick to share her daily creation
from the family kitchen. The
Cucina focuses on fresh,
homemade products that include
our bread, antipasti, salads,
panini and sweet bites made
daily.
Charles Krug has enjoyed a
close relationship with The
Culinary Institute of America at
Greystone since the inauguration
of its Chef Larry Forgione-led
CIA Student Farm at Charles
Krug Winery. Honoring this
partnership with an emphasis on
fresh ingredients is important to
Chef Haake. The Cucina has
access to produce from the
propertys shared CIA Student
Farm, using its seasonal
ingredients as inspiration for the
chefs daily specials.
Haake goes on to note
Cucina di Rosas partnership
with Equator coffee. No good
meal is complete without a finale
of top quality espresso drinks.
We are excited to partner with
Equator. We have hired a great
barista, Rosa Villenueva to make
perfect espresso and
cappuccinos. Yes her name is

Rosa, a happy coincidence.

San Francisco Wine Schools Offers 3-Day Intensive California


Wine Appellation Specialist Credential Program in Major Cities
On August 8-10, the San Francisco Wine School hosted a 3-Day
Intensive California Wine Appellation Specialist (CWAS) credential
program at Beringer Vineyards in St. Helena. This 3-Day Intensive
was the third on-the-road location offering wine professionals the
chance to take an in depth look at the California wine industry.
During the program, students identify and interpret USA and
California wine laws, discuss the history and impact of Californias
American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), investigate Californias wine
production, examine the terroir of Californias AVAs, and taste more
than 60 wines from across the state making this the first and only
comprehensive professional credential program relating strictly to
California wine.
The 3-Day Intensive is an offshoot of the CWAS program that is
offered as an in-person or online eight-week credential program
through the San Francisco Wine School; these eight-week programs
are offered at various starting points throughout the year. Master
Sommelier and Certified Wine Educator, David Glancy, founded the
San Francisco Wine School in 2011 and is the leading instructor for
these CWAS courses, in addition to the host of other courses the
school offers for wine industry professionals.
Glancy is one of only twelve people in the world to hold both a
Master Sommelier diploma and a Certified Wine Educator credential.
It is for this reason that he founded the San Francisco Wine School
and offers coursework that is focused on professional training and
inspiring today and tomorrows wine professionals. Glancy further
states, We want to provide illumination on what path someone
might take and we have all of the most relevant credentials to do so.
Glancy is certainly right; the San Francisco Wine School course
offerings are both extensive and relevant. Wine industry professionals
can choose which programs make sense for their career path and
work towards that goal with guidance from highly qualified
instructors who work in the industry. We want to look into peoples
career paths and at least provide information to help them make valid
choices, Glancy expresses. In this way, the San Francisco Wine
School is focused on quality instruction that allows people to go out
and represent the industry well.
Students attending the 3-Day Intensive CWAS credential program
admitted that California wine professionals have not had the
opportunity to take coursework that strictly focuses on California

34

wine, prior to the course offerings from San Francisco Wine School.
Glancy and his team have filled a niche that needed filling and as a
result, the next generation of California wine professionals will better
equipped to improve their position in the industry, improve their
knowledge, and have the ability to improve their job.
Over the course of the 3-Day Intensive CWAS credential program,
students receive over thirty hours of instruction and blind taste wine
from every major wine-growing region in California. Students engage
in discussion of California AVAs, terroir, and blind taste aloud with
Glancy to hone their skills. By blind tasting over sixty California
wines during the in depth study of California AVAs, students are able
to detect the distinct differences between grape varieties grown across
the state, learn how terroir impacts the vineyards, and ultimately
distinguish the different complexities of individual wines from any
given California AVA.
The 3-Day Intensive California Wine Appellation Specialist
credential program will be offered at various major cities across the
United States continuing with Los Angeles on November 7-9 and
dates to be determined in Las Vegas, New York, Washington D.C.,
Portland and Seattle. Glancy says they will be adding additional
locations to the schedule and those locations will be posted on the
San Francisco Wine School website as they are finalized.
For more information on the California Wine Appellation
Specialist credential program, or other coursework, call (415) 6448461 or visit the San Francisco Wine School website at
www.sanfranciscowineschool.com.

Judds Hill Harvest Party Not To Be Missed!


SUBMITTED BY DEVIN JOSHUA, JUDDS HILL

It is hard to believe, but another harvest


season is upon us in wine country. Theres
never a bad time to visit Californias grape
growing regions, but we think that the
absolute best time is during crush. The
vines are verdant with plump clusters of ripe
grapes. The weather is cooling from the
heights of the summer, but still warm and
pleasant. Theres an air of anticipation and
excitement as bins of beautiful fruit make
their way to be destemmed, crushed and
fermented. All of this provides the perfect
backdrop for a party! And, if you are
fortunate enough to be in Napa on Sunday,
September 7th, you must make your way to
Judds Hill Winery and MicroCrush for a
harvest party not to be missed!
For nearly a decade, Judds Hill Winery
and MicroCrush, located at the southern end
of Napas Silverado Trail, has hosted a
Harvest Party like no other. The party takes
place on the winerys covered crushpad, in
full view of the adjoining Kairos Cabernet
Sauvignon Vineyard. As you would expect,
the event features a wide variety of Judds Hill
Wines, both current releases and library
offerings. There will also be delicious food,
and illusionist Timothy James will be on
hand to dazzle and entertain guests with his
sleight of hand performance and strolling upclose magic throughout the event. With a
ticket price of just $45 per person, this
harvest party is a fantastic value. And, if you
are a Judds Hill Wine Club member,
admission is free. The Judds Hill Wine Club
is free to join and you can find more
information about it at juddshill.com.
If you happen to miss the party, you
should call the winery and make an
appointment to visit their tasting room, open
daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Their small-lot,
hand-crafted wines are affordably priced and
produced in a food-friendly style making
them a popular choice among Napa Valley
restaurants. With less than 3,000 cases
produced annually, you are not likely to find
these wines outside of Napa.
You can also make your own wine at

36

Illusionist Timothy James dazzles and entertains guests

Judds Hill in small (or larger) lots, hence the


MicroCrush moniker. It is one of the few
places where wine enthusiasts can make a
single barrel of their own wine from either
their own grapes or from grapes sourced by
Judds Hill. And if a barrel of custom wine,
which is about 288 bottles, is a bit much
Judds Hill offers another option for
personalized wine. Their Bottle Blending

Day Camp is held daily by advance


appointment. Here guests craft their own
cuvee using Bordeaux varietal barrel samples
and are led by a Judds Hill wine educator
who guides them towards their final blend,
which is then bottled, corked and labeled. It
is a fun and hands-on way to experience
wine country, perfect for couples and groups
of all sizes.
Theres always something fun happening
at Judds Hill. Make a point to check them
out this harvest season and see for yourself.
Judds Hill Winery and MicroCrush is
open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. by
appointment only and is located at 2332
Silverado Trail, Napa, CA 94558. For more
information, call (707) 255-2332 or visit the

THE CAVES AT SODA CANYON


The Ultimate Winery Experience!
BY MONICA L. DASHWOOD

THE CAVES AT SODA CANYON


Open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
2275 Soda Canyon Road, Napa CA 94558
(707) 861-8100 | www.thecavesatsodacanyon.com

The Caves at Soda Canyon, a glorious undertaking, has become the


ultimate underground winery experience in all the land. Sitting on top of a
mountain, overlooking the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley, lies a sense of
mystery. As you drive up the long windy road, not knowing what to expect
until you reach the top of the hill. On 41 acres of rugged hillside, the Caves
at Soda Canyon beckon you into a world of wonder and amazement,
mesmerizing you with its unique and intimate setting.
Founded by Ryan and Crystal Waugh of Waugh Cellars, the Caves were
born out of pure passion and love for wine. After ten years of blood, sweat,
tears and incredible patience, the Waughs dream of creating an underground
winery became a reality. On September 3, 2013, the Caves opened their
doors, showcasing the finest vintages handcrafted by four experienced
winemaking families, the Waughs, The Buoncristianis, The Patlands and The
Wulffs, who believed in Waughs vision, joining together to create a
winemaking community for wine lovers around the world.
The winemakers shares a deep commitment to family, great quality wines,
and diversity. All four families who call The Caves at Soda Canyon home are
first generation winemakers and their stories inspire all who visit. With a
commitment to family first, this chosen group of winemakers prides
themselves on their unwavering commitment to quality winemaking rarely
seen under the same roof or should we say cave.
High on the mountain, these four families provide you with a diverse
sampling of over 32 varietal wines, distinguished under their four brand
labels (Waugh Family Wines, Patland Estate Vineyards, Lobo Wulff
Vineyards, Buoncristiani Family Winery). The wines are hand-crafted and
limited in production, fermenting in an impressive number of oak barrels,
stainless steel tanks and concrete egg-shaped fermenters, producing 12,000
cases per year which you can see for yourself during a custom tour.
The Caves offer three level tours by reservation and takes you through the
underground winery, offering tastes of currently released vintages by the 4
winemaking families. Depending on the tour, the experience usually runs
one to two hours and ranges in price from $40 to $80, and includes a pairing
cheese plate. You can walk and sit inside the cool caverns of the caves or
stroll outside with breathtaking views of the valley. A pavilion for events
above the winery and on the top of the ridge is being developed for
additional event space. The operation is currently 9000 square feet in size
with 11,000 still in development, the perfect place for corporate events,
parties and group tastings.
After you taste their delicious wines, youre going to want to take some
home. Wines can be purchased at the caves or as a wine club member where
you can have cases of wine shipped to your home throughout the year. The
benefits of being a member include 10-15% discounts, access to new releases
at The Caves, complimentary tastings, access to their private wine club area,
invitations and complimentary tickets to their harvest party, preferred hotel
rates and for Alliance Members, free shipping.
If you have an affinity for stunning scenic views, select fine wines, and a
love for the mysterious, then the Caves at Soda Canyon is the ultimate
destination for you!

Situated on lush property surrounded by vineyards, the estate is a 2.5-acre living
patchwork of edible floral gardens, working herb and vegetable chef gardens, various
pathways and patio areas surrounded by lofty fruit and shade trees and of course, the
aromas and pleasures of wine.

Sustainability Festival at Jack London State Historic Park


Connecting the past, present and future
On October 5 at Jack London State Historic Park, The Jack
London Sustainability Farm Festival will highlight Jack Londons
legacy as a farming pioneer and connect with the innovators of today
and their vision to preserve the land for tomorrow.
Sustainable Agriculture just the way it is done now; a natural
part of our lexicon and a concept that has become an integral aspect
of life in Sonoma County. But in 1915, when Jack London was
experimenting with innovative methods of farming and progressive,
more humane methods of dealing with farm livestock, he was far
ahead of his time. A recent article in Modern Farming, Jack Londons
Futuristic Farm, sums it up: Jack London has been called many
things throughout history, among them, an author, explorer, visionary
and a socialist. He has even been called the greatest romantic of his
time. However, above all these fancy titles, he was a farmer and an
inventive one at that.
When Jack London created his Beauty Ranch, (the land that is
now Jack London State Historic Park), he dedicated himself to a
return to the land and a restoration of sustainable agricultural
methods and practices when he said, Do you realize that I devote
two hours a day to writing and ten to farming? My work on this land,
and my message to America, go hand in hand a return to the soil
is the basis of economics.
Jack was a pioneer of sustainable farming, experimenting with

ideas that are now standard practices: terracing, green water,


mulching, composting, vegetable growing and providing progressive
livestock conditions.
The October Sustainability Festival, a free event at Jack London
State Historic Park, celebrates Jacks legacy on the land he worked in
this way one hundred years ago, and connects it to what we are doing
today as we preserve the land for tomorrow.
Those attending the festival will receive a map to guide them as
they explore the sustainability experience intersecting through the
past, present and future. Stations will be set up throughout Beauty
Ranch showcasing the history of Jacks sustainable farming practices
and pairing them with do it yourself sustainable practices popular
today.
A family-friendly event, many stations will have activities for kids
to introduce them to sustainable practices. Music and food
throughout the day will add to the festive communal atmosphere.

Located in the heart of the Sonoma Valley near Glen Ellen, B.R. Cohn is
a must-see destination for lovers of history, music, fine wines and
exceptionally crafted artisanal olive oils. Surrounded by the 91-acre Olive
Hill Estate Vineyards, this picturesque spot offers stunning views, great
wines, vintage architecture and a lovely picnic area.
B.R. Cohn is known as much for its classic rock parties as for its wines
and olive oils and in January of this year Bruce Cohn has passed the
business on to his son, Dan.
Dan grew up at the winery and his parents bought the estate when his
mom was pregnant with him. He worked in the cellar during the winerys
first harvest, when he was just nine years old. Dan said, I grew up working
alongside a lot of these pedigree winemakers, being a cellar rat, cleaning
barrels and walking the vineyard with my father.
Bruce Cohn will focus on the winerys well-known annual music festival
and on managing The Doobie Brothers, the rock band he has managed
since 1970. The Fall Music Festival has raised $6 million for charity since
1987.
California olive oil carries on a tradition that dates back to ancient
times. Olive trees were cultivated in the Mediterranean region as early as
3000 BC, and through the millennia olive oil has been widely used for
cooking, lighting, medicinal purposes, body care, and even as a weapon of
war. Franciscan missionaries brought the first olive trees to the New World
in the 16th century and then into California from Mexico in the late 1700s.
Many orchards were neglected for decades after the mission system ended
in 1834. During the mid to late 1800s cuttings were taken from the old
mission orchards and additional varieties were brought from Mediterranean
countries.
The B.R. Cohn Picholine olive trees were imported from France, and are
a rarity in a region dominated by Italian and Spanish varietals. They were
planted in the 1870s as part of a growing olive oil industry that, under
pressure from cheaper European imports, went into decline at the turn of
the 20th century. In the early 1990s new pioneers represented by Bruce
Cohn and others brought about a renaissance in California olive oil leading
to a new recognition of California olive oils as a world-class offering.
The current tasting room is housed in a beautiful 1920s home which
will take guests back to the Great Gatsby era. This historic property was
once a stagecoach stop for Wells Fargo along the Sonoma highway, where
horses on their route to Santa Rosa stopped to be watered. B.R. Cohn offers
tastings of their award-winning wines and artisan olive oils daily and tours
by appointment. Reservations are recommended for groups of eight or
more.
The Summer Music Festival is in full swing and its a perfect way to
spend a leisurely afternoon listening to great music and enjoying the
bounty that B.R. Cohn has to offer. Dan plans to host concerts at the
winery every week throughout the summer. I really look forward to
building on what my father established, he said. Great music, great food,
great wine, great olive oil and world-class hospitality for our guests.

B.R. Cohn Winery Hosts Olive Curing


Workshop with Olive Expert Don Landis
While many olives harvested from wine growing regions are pressed into fine olive oils,
like the Picholine olives grown on the B.R. Cohn Estate, many of them are also cured. To
celebrate the upcoming olive harvest, B.R. Cohn Winery will be holding an Olive Curing
Workshop, hosted by local expert Don Landis, on Sunday, September 7 from 11 a.m. to
1 p.m. During the workshop, Landis will discuss the history of the olive in California and will
give a thorough description of his preferred curing method: a six-month brining process often
referred to as the Greek Style without the use of lye.
Tickets to the event cost $20 for the general public or $15 for Wine Club members and
all ticket holders will receive a 10% discount on olive oil and vinegar in the B.R. Cohn
Gourmet Shop. Tickets can be reserved by calling (800) 330-4064 ex. 124. Space is limited.
B.R. Cohn Winery is located at 15000 Sonoma Highway 12 in Glen Ellen, and its wines are
nationally distributed. The Sonoma Valley tasting room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Additional information is available at www.brcohn.com.

New Summer Menu at the


Mayo Family Reserve Room
The Mayo Family Winerys Kenwood-based Reserve Room has announced
expanded summer hours and opening days as well as a new food and wine pairing
menu to take it through the summer months and into fall. The Reserve Room changes
its menu seasonally under the direction of Executive Chef Clayton Lewis.
Through October, the Mayo Family Reserve Room will be open seven days a week
from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Reservations can be made by calling (707) 833-5504 or
via OpenTable online reservation service.
The Mayo Family Reserve Room is one of the original wine and food pairing tasting
room experiences. Guests are seated and presented with seven of Chef Lewis elaborate
culinary creations, each paired with a Mayo Family reserve wine. The tasting takes
about an hour during which guests sample the pairings and converse with the Chef
Lewis. Pairing our wines with great food is something our family has been doing
since we started in 1993 with our first vintage, says Jeff Mayo. Since we inaugurated
the Reserve Room in 2005, and with the menu changing seasonally, we have
continually expanded our menu to try to feature as many of our wines as possible.
In a recent review of the experience, San Francisco Chronicle wine critic Jon Bonne
noted the substantial nature of the tasting makes Mayo Reserve Room worth a visit
and a good deal, an opinion echoed by the Wall Street Journals wine writers who
dubbed the Reserve Room an awesome experience and The Best Deal in Wine
Country.

Winesong 2014 Welcomes Return of Narsai David


Winesong 2014 is announced that longtime Master of
Ceremonies Narsai David will also serve as the Celebrity Chef for
the 30th year of Winesong, being the inspiration for the Auction
Luncheon menu.
Narsais love of cooking started in his mothers kitchen where he
and his brothers were not only welcomed, but encouraged. From
there, Narsai followed a simple totem when it comes to cooking
the easier the recipe, the more successful its likely to be. In the
San Francisco Bay Area, Narsai first worked with Henry Rubin and
Ed Brown at Berkeleys Pot Luck Restaurant and then launched a
gastronomes delight, Narsais Restaurant, in the small East Bay
community of Kensington. From 1970 until 1986, Narsais
Restaurant, Market and Catering businesses were a culinary mecca
for traveling gourmets. The hospitable redwood dining room
(fashioned from a giant redwood tank) was the backdrop for some
of the most attentive service and finest food ever served forth. The
wine list at Narsais was described as one of the ten finest in the
world by the New York Times. Centerpiece for the restaurants
fame was its Monday Night Dinner Series at which Narsai offered a
fixed menu from whatever cuisine happened to capture his
attention and appeal to his senses at the moment.
From 1978 to 1985, Narsais Market (next door to the
restaurant) presented a remarkable line of specialty foods,
including breads and his famed croissants repeatedly selected as
the finest anywhere. Desserts were also a specialty with many
creations first introduced at Narsais Market.
Narsais years as one of the Bay Areas leading restaurateurs were
overlaid with highly publicized caterings representing some of the
grandest, large scale outdoor dining experiences anyone has ever
known. Rock impresario Bill Graham called on Narsai regularly to
cater his concerts as did the Napa Valley Wine Auction and San
Francisco Symphony.
In 1977, Narsais broadcast career began with the nationally
syndicated PBS series, Over Easy. Over the years, several other
programs took off to showcase Narsais cuisine. He is now the
Food and Wine Editor for KCBS Radio in San Francisco, and has
been since 1984. Wherever he goes, Narsais objective remains the
same: to share the simple pleasures of cooking, food and wine
through education.
For more information on Narsai David, visit his website at
www.narsai.com.

Wine Tasting in
LIVERMORE VALLEY
Wente Vineyards Celebrating Five Generations

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. And as the countrys

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.
This year, Wente Vineyards celebrates
its 130th vintage anniversary. The winery
is located just east of San Francisco in the
historic Livermore Valley. At the historic
Wente Vineyards Estate Winery & Tasting
Room and Vineyard Tasting Room, guests

The newly unveiled Winemakers
Studio is yet another way for consumers
to learn more about wine. This state-ofthe-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 that they will remember
long after they have left the property.
This year, Wente Vineyards also
celebrates its 28th anniversary of
entertaining guests with delicious wine
country cuisine at The Restaurant at
Wente Vineyards. The Restaurant at
Wente Vineyards uses locally grown
organic ingredients sourced within a 100mile radius and features ingredient-driven

French and Italian provincial cuisine. The
seasonal menu changes daily, utilizing
produce from The Restaurants organic
garden. Guests can choose from more
than 1,000 selections on the restaurants
award-winning wine list. Recent accolades
include the 2013 Wine Spectator Best of

Zagat for consistently delivering with
wine friendly Cal-Med cuisine.
Wente Vineyards is also the only
