Wineology

INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER

BY LEN NAPOLITANO

Whats Better, Cork or Screw Cap?


Natural cork, the bottle closure used since commercial
production of precision glass bottles, has established itself as an
unofficial industry standard. An alternative to the cork closure has
long been the aluminum screw cap or twist cap. It was the closure
on inexpensive, low-quality wine since the sixties, resulting in a
damaging association for decades. But not anymore. Since around
2000, increasingly more winemakers choose screw cap closures
over natural cork for one or more of the following reasons:
reduced costs; retained fruit freshness; more consistent aging; and
reduced chance that bacteria, known as TCA, will impart a damp,
musty smell to the wine, destroying its fruit aroma.
Another benefit of screw caps is that they allow bottles to be
stored upright instead of lying on their sides. The absence of a
cork closure eliminates the need to keep wine in contact with the
cork, which expands to create a virtual airtight seal within the
bottle.
Of all the reasons above, the problem with TCA has been the
driving force behind the growing popularity and acceptance of
twist caps. It is generally estimated that somewhere between 1% to
15% of all wine is tainted by natural corks containing TCA, though
winemakers, cork manufacturers and wine critics have debated
this number for years. In January 2013, Wine Spectator magazines
James Laube reported 3.7 percent of the 3,269 cork-sealed wines
from California tasted in the Wine Spectator office in 2012 were
thought to be tainted by a bad cork. If you estimate that wine
aficionados at the magazine are about twice as sensitive to TCAtainted wine than average wine consumers, it would translate to
fewer than 2% detectable by the average wine consumer. This
figure is closer to where the Cork Forest Conservation Alliance
claims TCA contamination to be: they say current testing indicates
only 1% of wine is tainted by
cork-TCA. Regardless of the
true number, whats important
is that contamination from
cork is on the decline.

suppliers. Together, they are succeeding at reducing the incidence


of corked wine.
Ironically, there are issues with twist caps, as well. Because of
their air-tight design, caps have on occasion been blamed for aging
wines too slowly, or for a buildup of sulfides inside a bottle, which
adds a subtle smell of rotten egg. Cap manufacturers responded
with new technology that permits a controlled amount of oxygen
into the bottle, matched to the wine style and how soon the wine
will be consumed after bottling (which is difficult to know).
Bottom line: there is no perfect closure.
With tens of thousands of wines entering the market every year,
there is ample room for closing wines with all available options:
twist caps, synthetic corks, aggregate corks (crushed natural cork
pressed into a cork shape) and conventional natural corks. It has
become common for twist caps to close white wines more often
than reds, since they are more likely to be opened and consumed
sooner. Red wines are more age-worthy and corks are proven to
enhance wine-aging by allowing microscopic amounts of oxygen
into the wine.
The advantages and disadvantages of various bottle closures will
play out over the coming decades. Each type will find its niche.
Probably alternative closures will close the more affordable wines
and corks the more expensive wines. But who knows? One thing is
sure: no longer is the twist cap associated with cheap, inferior
wine. Perhaps more important, you shouldnt fret over purchasing
wines closed with natural corks. With any closure, odds are greatly
in favor of the consumer getting a flawless wine red or white,
young or old.

Winegrowing Decisions

BY JOSH STEIN

Is a Barrel by Another Name as Oaky?


Were Master Shakespeare to have included a winemaker in one
of his plays, the famous phrase might have become To oak or not
to oak? That is the question, and that would have been a spot on
assessment, for few things bring on more questions, anxieties and
myths than the discussion of oak usage and winemaking. Were
they able to offer comment themselves, I imagine a towering oak
offering something along the lines of Chill out and just enjoy
because, as with many other aspects of winegrowing, the
discussions tend to complicate and obscure the reality from the
winemakers perspective.
For whites, the decisions come down to the degree, if any, of
oak influence. Many white varieties do not benefit from oak
exposure, and even neutral barrels (barrels used long enough
that oak tannin is no longer perceptible in wines stored therein)
can cause a stylistic miscue since barrels play host to Oenococcus
oeni, the bacteria responsible for malic-to-lactic acid conversion.
Unless extraordinary and expensive precautions are taken, most
winemakers would combine separate lots of filtered oaked and
unoaked whites to arrive at a blend with the desired level of oak
influence rather than hoping to arrive at an ideal middle through
chance in the barrel.
Red wines, though, present a bit of a different set of options.
Oak is useful throughout the production process, so some folks
will be using toasted or untoasted oak shavings at the crusher in
cooler harvests to alleviate any underripe green aromatics or
flavor compounds from methoxypyrazines, which contribute cigar
or tobacco at low levels and green pepper or grassy, herb-y notes
at higher levels. Winemakers can ferment in barrels either by
removing the heads and punching down into upright barrels or
through reassembling the barrels and using a rotation system to
keep the cap wet by spinning. They can use larger puncheons to

12

give more subtle, rounder notes to the wine without giving as


oaky a presence liquid volume to surface area matters a lot;
the larger the vessel, the less the influence, everything else being
equal.
Post-pressing, most reds are aged either in barrel or in tanks
with some kind of oak adjunct inserted; as with barrel options so
go the adjuncts: winemakers have choices that range from oak
source (American, French, Hungarian, blends and beyond), to
toast level, to toasted or untoasted heads in barrels, and a slew of
options for creating oak effects sans barrels including beans,
cubes, spirals, blocks, sticks-in-chains to fit into barrel bungholes,
and staves of various shapes and sizes for tank inserts. Think back
to your first visit to a big toystore as a kid; now picture an adult
kid and you know how winemakers feel about their oak options.
Its great to have choices, but there are lots of options, and one is
not necessarily better than another.
At the end of the day, oak is like every other part of the
winemaking process: a series of decisions through which the final
wine is realized, and the key thing winemakers must come to
terms with in order to do their best work is that making a
particular decision, or refusing to make it, will have an impact on
that final bottling either way. Winemakers grow and cook with
grapes, and once the process starts, the vessel in which the
fermentation takes place absolutely has an impact but you must
start with the best ingredients possible. Just like cooking. Enjoy!
Josh Stein has been in the Napa wine business for more than a dozen years, and, in addition
to being owner/winemaker of the Stein Family Wine Group, which produces a nationally and
internationally distributed portfolio of wine brands and donates a percentage of its sales, he
regularly consults for wineries and organizations throughout the North Bay and Coast via
their subsidiaries, Discrete Wine Support Services and Napa Valley Writing Services.

GLORIA FERRER
CAVES & VINEYARDS
$5000 Awarded to Winner of First Ever
Glorious Bites Challenge
Donna Wolfe of Hamilton, New Jersey, takes home Grand Prize
Donna Wolfe, a reference librarian from Hamilton,
New Jersey, is the winner of the Gloria Ferrer Caves &
Vineyards Glorious Bites Competition and has
earned bragging rights, a custom glass trophy and a
check for $5000. Wolfes recipe wowed Top Chef Star
& Lead Judge Brooke Williamson and the entire
judging panel in the final cook-off event at the winery
on Saturday, October 10. Her Fried Lobster & Goat
Cheese Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms with Sweet Thai
Chili Dipping Sauce has been deemed this years most
glorious appetizer recipe in the country to pair with
Gloria Ferrers sparkling wine: Sonoma Brut. After the
announcement that she was the winner, Wolfe
exclaimed, I am so amazed. There was some
incredible competition.
Out of more than 360 entries from 36 states,
Wolfes recipe rose to the forefront, bringing her to the
semi-finals and ultimately to the winners circle on
Saturday. Donnas appetizer was not only the perfect
pairing for the Sonoma Brut, but a perfect bite of food
in general. It was crisp and flavorful, yet delicate. She
so impressed me with her talent, composure and
attention to detail, said Top Chef Season Ten Star
Brooke Williamson. As a sommelier, I felt the vibrant
flavors and delicate nature of this tasty bite really
complemented the crisp texture and creamy bubbles
in the Sonoma Brut, said Sommelier and Judge
Christopher Sawyer. Overall, an elegant, sexy and
rewarding creation! Judges Michelle Heston, Regional
Director of PR and Marketing Communications for
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, and Sondra Bernstein,
Proprietor of the girl & the fig and ESTATE in Sonoma
& the fig caf & winebar, echoed these sentiments.
Wolfes inspiration for the dish, in part, came
during a trip to Washington, D.C. I had immediately
thought of using lobster in my recipe submission,
because it is so luxurious and would go with the
sparkling wine. But while dining out during this trip,
I tasted the most delicate and delicious fried squash
blossoms and thats when I realized I wanted to
combine those flavors and textures to create something
original.

heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350-degrees F. Dip the stuffed zucchini blossoms

At the 2015 Sonoma County Harvest Fair held in early October, Mayo Family Winery
won the double gold medal for their 2009 Sparkling Brut, Laurel Hill Vineyard, Sonoma
Valley, Estate-grown ($40).
The winery received gold medals for three Zinfandels: the 2013 Zinfandel Reserve,
Ricci Vineyard, Russian River Valley ($50); the 2013 Zinfandel Reserve, Laurel Hill
Vineyard, Russian River Valley ($30); and the 2012 Zinfandel, Unti Vineyard, Dry Creek

Ranch Vineyard, Dry Creek Valley ($35); the 2013 Merlot Reserve, Los Chamizal
Vineyards, Sonoma Valley ($50); and the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, Los Chamizal

Jeffrey Mayo, President, Michel Mike Berthoud, Winemaker, and Cellar Master
Antonio Martinez received acknowledgment for the family winery operation and their
excellence in winemaking through their bounty of awards. Jeffrey mentioned, It felt
great to be validated and honored amongst our winery peers and to receive such a
favorable response. A range of wine experts from across the country including
hospitality industry professionals, trade, media and enologists evaluated more than 1,200
wines at the largest regional wine competition in the country.

How a Family Winery Develops and Grows


Henry and Diane Mayo decided to plant a vineyard in 1990 with 3,000 Chardonnay
vines resulting in 200 cases bottled in 1993. They expanded with the Laurel Hill
Vineyard in the Sonoma appellation and the Ricci Vineyard in the Russian River
appellation.

Wine Country This Week <<


Their vineyards grew into a successful family winery
operation expanding with three-generations of family
members assisting to produce award-winning wines. Henry
and Dianes son, Jeffrey Mayo is President and his cousin
Courtney Emer manages the tasting room.
The growing family business includes two winemaking
facilities for specific types of wine production. The secret to
our success is in producing small-lot, single-vineyard wines
with flavor, texture and aromas native to the vineyards
terroir, Jeffrey said.

Cellar Club
Join the Cellar Club to enjoy the benefits of becoming
part of the Mayo family and receive private event invitations,
and small-lot, award-winning wine shipments. While at the

last spring and asked about performing at
Andretti Winery. At first I was ambivalent but
after hearing him audition I knew his
operatic voice and tonality would be great for
our club members to enjoy, said Joe
Antonini. Chris is a great talent who is
enjoyed by everyone.
Wine club members rave about the live
opera performances at Andretti Winery,
Guest Shanon Plumlee shared this review,

experience.

At Hagafen Cellars, Winemaker Ernie Weir believes in producing wines that


he personally enjoys; Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot,
Pinot Noir, Roussanne, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah and White Riesling. He also
produces Brut Cuve sparkling wines as well as several late harvest dessert
wines. These small-lot releases allow them to hand-select and produce the
absolute best of each years production. With more than thirty years of
winemaking experience, Ernie has created a winery with many wines earning
numerous awards. He is in fact a pioneer that has created a niche that he loves.
Ernie first came to Napa in the 1970s when he worked for Domaine Chandon
while attending UC Davis to study viticulture and enology. In 1979, as a side
business with purchased grapes, he started making wine under the Hagafen
name which means vine in Hebrew. During that time, we custom crushed our
production so I was able to learn so much from other winemakers and
winemaking situations. However, there is nothing like stepping into the fire to
encourage you to learn fast and correctly what works for you, says Ernie.
In 1986, Ernie and his wife Irit purchased their vineyard called Weir Family
Vineyard II where the winery was later built. It consists of 12 acres of Cabernet
Sauvignon. Later, they added the nine-acre Weir Family Vineyard III, with three
acres each of Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Riesling. Their own vineyards now yield
roughly half of the grapes used for their annual production. Their grapes are
organically grown including some that are purchased and their production is
kosher for Passover. Ernies daily involvement in the two sides of wine
production, grape growing and winemaking, ensures the superb quality of their
releases.
In 1997, Ernie left Domaine Chandon to build the Hagafen Cellars winery
and tasting room located in Napa along the Silverado Trail. The winery opened
in 2000 and their wines have experienced much success and will continue to do
so. Ernie is proud of their success and honored to be able to produce these fine
wines for your enjoyment. As Ernie says, Fine wine starts in the vineyard with
careful management. I strive to take advantage of Napa Valleys geology and
climate to produce the best wine varietals. I interfere as little as possible with the
soil in order to create a balance that minimizes the chemical and erosion impact.
As a sustainable Green Winery, we respect the values of conservation and land
stewardship while embracing innovative practices. Once harvest is completed, I
undertake the second part of my job, winemaking. This presents an interesting
challenge every time since each year the growing season and harvest are unique
and different. I never seek to change what Nature has provided. My goal is
always to showcase the best that our land can produce. For these reasons, our
total annual production is only 8,000 cases.

married in the Napa Valley? Napa Cellars can create a
very special event for that momentous occasion. To
learn more, email Amber at adubnow@tfewines.com.

A Little History
In 1968, Napa Valley winery owners and grape growers joined forces to have Napa
Valley declared the countrys first agricultural preserve. The timing couldnt have been
more perfect. City sprawl and freeways soon transformed nearby agricultural regions into
bedroom communities for San Francisco. Napa was protected. The same year that Napa
was granted the status of agricultural preserve, Charlie R. Woods founded the winery on
five and a half acres of prime Oakville terroir. In the 1970s, he built a geodesic dome
there to store barreled wine. Charlie concentrated on making reds, in particular Zinfandel
and Cabernet Sauvignon. That very cool geodesic dome is now the tasting room.

Sutter Home Launches New Social Media Fundraising Campaign to Help Fight Against Breast Cancer
Selfies for Hope Initiative to Benefit
National Breast Cancer Foundation
Sutter Home Family Vineyards, dedicated
to making a difference in the fight against
breast cancer for 15 years, recently launched
its Selfies for Hope campaign as part of the
winerys ongoing Sutter Home for Hope
initiative. The program will run through the
end of 2015, with proceeds benefitting the
National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF).
The Sutter Home for Hope initiative
started in 2001 when one of Sutter Homes
founding family members, Vera Trinchero
Torres, was diagnosed with breast cancer. As
one of the first wine companies to make a
commitment to the fight against breast
cancer, Sutter Home has contributed close to
$1,000,000 over the past 15 years to help
support breast cancer research, treatment and
education programs across the United States.
2015 marks the second year of the Sutter
Home for Hope partnership with the National
Breast Cancer Foundation.
Throughout the campaign, Sutter Home
fans are encouraged to take a selfie with a
bottle of Sutter Home wine and post it to
their public Twitter, Instagram or Facebook
pages using the hashtag #sutterhomeforhope.
For every valid selfie posted, the winery will
donate $1 to the National Breast Cancer
Foundation, up to $50,000.
At Sutter Home, we are honored to be
part of this worthwhile cause. For us, its
personal, and our 15th year marks a big
milestone, said Wendy Nyberg, vice
president of marketing for Sutter Home.

Were thrilled to give our fans an interactive


way to join this fight, show support for loved
ones touched by breast cancer, and have a
little fun along the way. This collective effort
will help us reach our goal of $1,000,000 in
total donations since 2001.
According to the National Cancer
Institute, an estimated 1,658,370 new cases
of breast cancer will be diagnosed in the
United States and 589,430 people will die
from the disease in 2015*. This year, Sutter
Homes partnership with NBCF will focus on
educating women on the importance of
having an early detection plan. We know we
can save more lives when breast cancer is
detected early, and thats our goal, said
Nyberg.
We are very excited about our continued
partnership with Sutter Home Family
Vineyards. When we first learned about the
brands long history of supporting women
affected by breast cancer, we knew they
would be a great fit with our mission of
Helping Women Now through early
detection, education and support services.
Together with Sutter Home, we can reach
more women than ever before with our
messages of hope and critically important
educational tools, explained Janelle Hail,
NBCF Co-Founder and CEO.
Each year, thousands of people across the
country have supported Sutter Home for
Hope initiatives, by participating in programs
like Selfies for Hope, Text for Hope, Capsules
for Hope and Walk for Hope; sharing their
personal stories and photos on the Sutter
Home for Hope website and social media

sites; or simply wearing pink Sutter Home for


Hope jerseys and ribbons to continue raising
awareness. For more information, visit
www.sutterhomeforhope.com.

SONOMA COUNTY << Wine Country This Week

Russian River Valley Wineries Head to San Francisco


and Sacramento to Host 6th Annual Single Vineyard Night'
More than 30 of the Russian River Valleys most acclaimed wineries
will gather for two tasting events in November celebrating the
Russian River Valleys bountiful array of vineyard designate wines.
Single Vineyard Night will showcase small lot wines hailing from
single vineyards throughout the esteemed AVA, boasting rich flavors
that perfectly display the distinct soil and climate of the region. The
first evening will be in San Francisco at the Golden Gate Club at the
Presidio on November 4th and the second is at Tsakopoulos Library
Galleria in Sacramento on November 12. For a list of participating
wineries and tickets visit rrvw.org.
The Russian River Valley has long been acclaimed for the varied
soils and climates throughout the AVA, says RRVW Manager,
Shannon Wesley. Single vineyard wines can tell the story of the
vineyard in which they were grown, expressing unique aromas and
flavors.
Overall, both events will be very similar; however, in San
Francisco guests will get a taste of the Russian River Valley food scene
with small bites from Spinster Sisters and artisan cheese by Freestone
Artisan Cheese. In Sacramento, guests will enjoy bites from a local
Sacramento area eatery. A silent auction at both venues will tempt
attendees to bid on exclusive Russian River Valley experiences, which
will include private tours and tastings and elegant overnight stays.
For collectors, a limited number of Instant Cellar raffle tickets will
be sold, with the lucky winner walking away with over three cases of

acclaimed Russian River Valley wines.


New in San Francisco this year will be an invitation-only seminar
for Bay Area sommeliers that will feature an in depth discussion and
tasting on wines from several Russian River Valley neighborhoods. An
expert winemaker/grower panel will select wines from a vineyards
he/she feels best embody the characteristics of each neighborhood.
Moderated by Virginie Boone, Contributing Editor of the Wine
Enthusiast, this exploration will be sure to ignite a lively tasting and
discussion.
Additionally, in Sacramento we are offering a one-hour invitation
only trade tasting component for key accounts and buyers in the
Sacramento area. This is a great opportunity for trade to taste through
a wide variety of RRV wines in one place and receive access to wine
list placements not easily available otherwise.
A limited number of VIP Experience tickets are available. VIP
ticket holders enter one hour early and have the opportunity to taste
limited release, tasting room only wines not being poured during
General Admission. VIP Guests also receive one (1) Instant Cellar
raffle ticket.
Both events: VIP entrance 5:30 p.m. and General Admission at
6:30 p.m. Ticket pricing is VIP, $90; general admission, $60.

Visit, Taste, Experience!


Laurel Glen Vineyards tasting room sits just off the main drag
in bucolic Glen Ellen. The dcor is comfortable, in an industrial
chic, yet rustic way. The walls are a mixture of corrugated tin,
brick and warm earth tones and the dyed cement floor echoes
with footfalls and laughter. There is a patio out back for al
fresco tasting. Visitors are invited to sit down and relax a while
tasting options take anywhere from 40-60 minutes.
Current Release Tasting Four vintages,
$20pp (refunded with Cabernet purchase)
Library Wine & Chocolate Five vintages of Cabernet from
the last 10 years, each paired with chocolate highlighting the
wine's unique attributes.
$30pp, 60 minutes, reservations required

LAUREL GLEN
VINEYARD
Steeped in History, but Still Going Strong
Originally planted in the 1880s, the present-day vineyard was developed in the
1970s by Sonoma wine pioneer Patrick Campbell, who also developed the
proprietary Laurel Glen Clone of Cabernet, which is still in use today. The certified
organically farmed vineyards combination of high altitude, eastern exposure and
rocky soils produce very distinctive wines (primarily Cabernet Sauvignon), which
consistently receive international acclaim for their exceptional balance, elegance and
ability to age gracefully.

A New Day With A New, Talented Team


After 30 vintages, Patrick Campbell sold the vineyard and winery to a group of
wine lovers, led by Bettina Sichel, whose family has been in the wine business for five
generations. Bettina deftly handles all of the marketing, organic viticulture guru Phil
Coturri manages the vineyard and talented winemaker Randall Watkins manages the
cellar. This dream team is taking a venerable brand back to the original vision of
crafting wines of exceptional quality, with a splash of fun and without a drop of
pretension.

OMG Stunning Wines!

I tasted a variety of wines during my visit and loved everything I tasted. My


favorites were:
2014 Crazy Old Vine Ros ($25): This is one of the best dry ross I have ever
tasted! Aromas and flavors of cherry, cranberry and strawberry are enhanced by
notes of savory herbs and presented in a bright, juicy mouthfeel.
2011 Laurel Glen Cabernet Sauvignon ($65): This is Cabernet with a capital C.
Aromas and flavors of black cherry, cocoa, black olive and cigar box abound, all
wrapped up in a decadently luscious, velvety mouthfeel. By SUE STrAIGHT, THE WINE WENCH

Wine Country This Week >> MENDOCINO/LAKE COUNTIES

Its Pinot and Porcinis as Mendocino County Celebrates Mushroom Season


As the flavors of fall arrive in
Northern Californias Mendocino
County so does the annual crop of
coveted candy cap, chanterelle and
porcini mushrooms. Straddling historic
Highways 1 and 101 with nearly 2,500
square miles of live oak, pygmy forests
and stately redwood groves, the region
is a natural hotspot for some 3,000
mushroom varieties. The annual haul is
nothing short of historic, nurturing
nirvana for local mycologists, chefs and
fungi foragers. Add to the mix a cache
of artisanal chefs, 95+ wineries, a formidable craft beer and hard cider
scene, and the annual salute to Mr. Fungi sprouts into action
November 6-15.

Walk on the Wild SideThe


ultimate walk on the wild side begins
with a mushroom hunt on 39 acres of
native gardens, forest and meadows
with a mushroom expert, culminating
with wine and canaps from the
Mushroom Cookbook authors Alison
Gardner and Merry Winslow.
November 15, $22; Jug Handle Creek
Farm, Caspar; (707) 937-3498;
www.jughandlecreekfarm.com.
In addition, special tours are
available during the week at Catch-aCanoe and Bicycles Too, Liquid Fusion Kayak Tours, Unbeaten Path
Tours and B. Bryan Preserve, a unique outpost featuring some of the
worlds most endangered hoof stock.

Fungi Foraging Rides, Hikes & Workshops (November 6-15)

Forage To Table

During the week, visitors can tap into a variety of adventures from
mushroom hunts by horseback, foraging excursions, Pinot and
porcini menus, educational seminars and art exhibits. Regionally,
Mendocino County hotel properties and restaurants are offering
special menus and packages throughout the month of November.
From boots to backwoods, the annual hunt for Mr. Fungi hits a high
note this season. Top excursions include:
Ride with the HuntMushroom Sightings at Ricochet Ridge

Good to Know Before Heading to the Tasting Room


Do not be intimidated for any reason. That is rule number one (and
there are very few real rules after that). 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.
Here are some tips that have proven to be helpful and are designed to
help make the sensory adventure of wine tasting 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. 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.

Do the Math
One of the questions most asked when it comes to wine is how much of this does it take to make that,
and so on. We wont pretend that its simple, but here are some industry statistics that will give a
pretty good answer to that query. As with anything agricultural, of course, they are all based on
countless variables when it comes to acre yields, but this is a good starting point. The rest of the
information varies little if at all.

A single bottle contains:


750 ml of wine which is 25.6 ounces made
from about 2.4 pounds of grapes (39 oz.) and
is enough for four or maybe five glasses.

A case of wine includes:


a dozen 750 ml bottles
(or 24 half bottles)
or 307.2 ounces total, which
comes from 30 pounds of grapes.

Dont be afraid to ask questions.


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.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.
If you plan to take wine home with you, either in the car or on a plane,
buy a cardboard box with Styrofoam wine inserts. Fill it during the day
and this keeps wine from rolling around in the trunk.
Check out the smaller wineries. It is a revelation.
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.
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 to rent anything from a Town Car or restored Packard convertible to stretch limos and a 20-passenger bus. All have drivers that will
stow your wine for you and the local companies know the area. Tell the
transportation company what you have in mind and listen to their advice.
They know the territory and the people and personalities.
Know your limits. If you get close to it let others taste and you can listen. It beats ending the day in a blur, and if need be calling a taxi is cheaper
than the alternative.
And if at a seated tasting, dont be afraid to leave a gratuity. Its more
than worth the five or ten dollars to get wisdom and wine and a great
time.
By Charles Neave

One standard oak barrel of wine holds:


295 bottles of wine (or 59 gallons)
made from 740 pounds of grapes
which works out to almost
but not precisely 24 cases of wine.

An acre of vineyard land can give the grower:


five tons of grapes (though it is also less, depending on a
variety of farming and winemaking practices, and on the varietal
and the vineyard location) which will give you 797 gallons of
juice (or thirteen-and-a-half barrels) which is pretty close to
four thousand bottles of wine.

Livermore Valley Wineries


Wente Vineyards Celebrating Five Generations in Wine in the Historic Livermore
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.
