More Than 250 Quality Wines

Under $25 at Wine Garage
Hidden next to a dilapidated ’40s-era former filling station on Highway 29
in Calistoga lies the Wine Garage. A unique wine shop in Napa Valley that retails
all wine in the store under $25. Sound crazy? Its true. And the proprietors Todd
and Joy Miller, have hit on a niche in the Valley that had been very missed by the
locals there.
“There are a lot of winemakers here that can’t afford to drink the wine they
make” says Miller. “That’s crazy, yes, but who can afford to drink a $65 bottle with
dinner every night?”
Many people miss The Wine Garage on the first try upvalley, but the search
is well worth it. Miller stocks wine from all of California’s wine growing regions
including fifty Napa selections and 40 from Sonoma County. When he first sought
out buying the initial inventory, “I enlisted a local farmer buddy and his 15-foot
box van and off we went all over California hunting down the deals. I tried to seek
out the small producers who didn’t have distributors so I could pass the savings
on to my customers.” And Miller did just that. His store is stocked with high-
quality juice all under $25 and all are unique. Most labels in the shop are unrec-
ognizable – but all pass the same test; everything passes over Miller’s lips before
he makes a buy. “If I don’t love it, I don’t buy it, period. Sometimes I will taste
over a hundred wines in one day, load up the truck and haul it up to Calistoga,
unload at the store, and maybe I will crawl in bed by 3 a.m. Needless to say my
buddy bowed out of the deal after their second trip. I initially recruited him on a
‘hey lets go wine tasting in Santa Barbara’ until he realized how much work it
entailed. Poor guy, he had to be at the farm at 5 in the morning.”
It is all worth it. Millers’ customers love him. He has a unique ability to hear a
verbal description of a customer’s favorite wine and translate that into a recom-
mendation for sometimes a third of the cost. “I have people all over the country
that use me as their local wine shop. I ship right to their door – and the cost of the
shipping is a drop in the bucket compared to what they save on the cost of the
wine.
Miller gets deals on Napa wine too. “I have winemakers from small wineries
stop in every week saying ‘I have something that will fit into the store,’ if they only
have 15 or 25 cases of an end-of-vintage wine – I am the perfect outlet for them.”
So head up to the Wine Garage and check out the best deals in the Valley at
1020 Foothill Blvd (Hwy 29), Calistoga, CA 94515. For more information, call
(707) 942-5332. You can also check out the website at winegarage.net.

Proprietors Richard and Kae Rosenberg of Healdsburg’s boutique
Grape Leaf Inn are pleased to announce their newest project, Prohibi-

2010 in downtown Healdsburg, the 30-seat Prohibition wine bar pays

and case, and bootleg-style beer in an atmosphere reminiscent of the
20s and early 30s.

Rombauer is located at the secluded, look out forever across the lush valley to the
west. You may have the sensation of coming
upon a secret garden here, because the
copious variety of flowers and shrubs reads
like something from a gardening encyclo-
pedia. Curving gravel walkways bordered
with a riot of colorful plantings lead to picnic
tables under oak trees and a trellised gazebo
with benches and the magnificent valley
views.
Mercifully, Rombauer is not an architec-
tural grandiosity. In keeping with its serene
and wooded setting, the entry to the tasting
room offers a broad roofed porch with
benches, potted flowers and, again, the
breathtaking views. Inside, three small sepa-
rate bars are staffed with low-keyed, friendly
people who want you to enjoy your visit and
some great wines as well. Many of these
tasting room folk have been with Rombauer for many years, and they
know almost everything about the wines, local restaurants and inns of
the valley.
Rombauer Vineyards is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year as
a family-owned-and-operated winery. The second-generation
Rombauers, sister and brother Sheana and Koerner (IIIrd) are dedi-
cated to maintaining the standards of wine excellence the family has
built up through the years. Committed to the good wine country life,
they want their visitors to experience the joy of drinking fine wine with
family and friends. They appear to be doing a good job, because for the
past two years, Rombauer has been in the Top Ten of favorite restau-
rant wines across the nation, as polled by the respected Wine & Spirits
Magazine. In the tasting room, you’ll have the opportunity to find out
why, with a significant bonus: you can sample several Rombauer wines
that are available only at the winery or to Joy of Wine Club members.
Two current releases widely available and of special note are the
2008 Carneros Chardonnay and the 2007 Fiddletown Zinfandel.
Chardonnay may well still be the flagship wine of Rombauer, and this
vintage is simply delicious, clean and silky in the mouth with big
peach and sweet apple fruit notes. The Zinfandel? You have to taste it
for yourself – it’s a Zin apart, huge and rich and packed with sweet fruit
and spice.
Tasting-room-only wines that you’ll want to take home with you
include Merlot, Atlas Peak, Stags Leap and Stice Lane Cabernet Sauvi-
gnons (savor the vineyard differences), and a proprietary red Bordeaux
blend called Le Meilleur du Chai (The Best of the Cellar). These wines
should make perfect luncheon companions for your picnic after the
tasting. And for take-home gifts, a duet of 375 ml (half-bottles) Port
made from Zinfandel and a late harvest Chardonnay dessert wine
called Joy, each in luxe bottles, will definitely bring joy to the lucky
recipient.
Rombauer Vineyards is located at 3522 Silverado Trail, on the
eastern side of Napa Valley, just a few miles north of the happening
town of St. Helena. The Rombauer tasting room is open daily from 10
a.m. to 5p.m.. Call (707) 963-5170 or go to www.rombauer.com for

BRANNAN COTTAGE INN, CALISTOGA

Charming. The word lures
many people in and I must say,
in every sense, that the
Brannan Cottage Inn in Calis-
toga, at the northern end of the
Napa Valley, is endearingly
charming.
Start with the fact that you
are probably going to be met
first by a black, white and brown
Jack Russell Terrier. Not known
as the most laid back breed of
dog, the Brannan Cottages Inn’s
greeter is so laid back that
people, myself included,
wonder if he was even a Jack

bathroom, one with a claw foot bath tub, all with in-room refriger-
ator, and two mini-suites with sitting rooms – are spacious,
charming (yes, that word again) and quiet.
That quiet comes from being on a mostly residential side street
off of one of Calistoga’s two main streets. Pets are welcome in most
of the rooms (tell them if you are allergic) and be sure to take full
advantage of the concierge-like service that comes with the very
reasonable tariff. The owners have full racks of information of area
wineries, such as Cuvaison, Vincent Arroyo, Lava Vine Winery
and Graeser (all personal favorites), restaurants and local attrac-
tions.
Don’t be shy: Ask as many questions as you can think of. Doug
and Judy Cook, owners and innkeepers are all around nice Napa

Solano County’s Biggest Party is About to Get Bigger & Better
The 23rd Annual Solano Wine & Food Jubilee – the primary fund-
raising event for NorthBay Hospice & Bereavement programs –
returns to the Nut Tree Complex in Vacaville on April 23, where it will
be held under an even bigger tent than ever before.
The area’s premiere food and wine tasting event will feature, as it
always has, an irresistible array of sweet and savory samplings from
some of the area’s most notable wineries, breweries, restaurants and
merchants. But, this year’s larger venue means even more vendors will
participate in this gourmand’s gala, providing ticket-holders with a
wider selection of foods, wines, brews and desserts.
The bigger tent comes courtesy of the Total Home & Garden Show,
which will be held at the Nut Tree the week before the Jubilee. Total
Home & Garden Show organizers offered to support the Jubilee by
leaving their tent in place and offering it to Jubilee organizers. “We’re to visit the shops and eateries that are part of the Nut Tree.

New Releases from Trinchero Napa Valley

Winemakers around the world will tell you that it’s the land that
makes the wine. In the end, technique and skill can only take a wine
so far. The real magic and the soul of a wine begins in the vineyard.
Trinchero Napa Valley stands as a testament to that belief. When it
comes to creating unforgettable, terroir-driven wines, Napa Valley is
surprisingly diverse for its small size. At Trinchero Napa Valley, they
are incredibly fortunate to own estates in some of the Valley’s most
distinguished appellations, including Mt. Veeder, Atlas Peak, St. Helena
and Rutherford. Each of the estates showcases a unique confluence of
soils, geography and microclimates that in turn produce grapes of
uncommon character, depth and complexity. The wines are all estate-
grown, Bordeaux varietals and predominantly single-vineyard; wines
with a sense of place.
“I’m a minimalist,’’ says Winemaker Mario Monticelli, “My goal is
to bring forth the best expression of the fruit and the land from which
it’s grown. I spend a lot of time in the vineyard and by the time the
grapes make it to the winery at harvest my job is really 70% done.’’
In March 2010, Trinchero Napa Valley unveiled its latest releases:
the 2007 Haystack Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, 2007 Signature
Cabernet Sauvignon and 2009 Mary’s Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc.

The 2007 Signature Cabernet, unlike most of our wines, is a blend Signature wine. Extremely limited in
production, the 2007 Signature blend is
comprised of approximately sixteen
hand-selected barrels .
The final wine in the 2009 Spring
release line-up is the 2009 Mary’s Vine-
yard Sauvignon Blanc. Mary’s Vineyard is
located in the newly recognized Calis-
toga AVA. “This is the first vineyard the
family purchased and a tribute to
founder Mary Trinchero,” Monticelli
said. “I do minimal winemaking –
entirely stainless steel and no malolactic
fermentation to preserve the bright trop-
ical fruit characteristics.’’
The Trincheros own more than 200
acres of estate vineyards in prime Napa
Valley appellations, including St.
Helena, Mount Veeder, Rutherford,

town of St. Helena, the new 22,000-square-foot winery is a

magical spot in Napa Valley and also home to Mario’s vineyard,
a state-of-the-art culinary center, historic tasting room and
picnic area.
Tastings, available daily in the newly renovated tasting room,
are $15 per person for a flight of four current releases and $20 for
a Cabernet Sauvignon comparative tasting.
Seminars are available daily by appointment at 10 a.m., 1 and
3 p.m. The Sensory Challenge is an introduction to wine’s
aromatic makeup, highlighted by the playing of the Le Nez du Vin
aroma challenge and a sit-down tasting of current releases. The
cost is $35 per person; limited to six guests.
A Taste of Terroir is a horizontal tasting of four Trinchero Napa
Valley single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons and an introduction
to the appellations of Napa Valley. Learn how a vineyard’s site can
impact the wine. The cost is $40 per person; limited to six guests.
Both seminars include a tour and last approximaely 90
minutes.
Trinchero Napa Valley is located at 3070 North St. Helena
Highway in St. Helena. The telephone number for the tasting
room and reservations is (707) 963-1160. Visit the winery

on Mother’s Day, May 9. The tasting room will be releasing the 2009
Rosé and author and chef, Barbara Passino will be on hand from
noon to 3 p.m. to sign her cookbook, Chocolate for Breakfast.
The 2009 Rosé ($18) is produced in a traditional French Rhone
style. Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre make this a seductive and
complex wine. It has wonderful tropical aromas and a delightful
touch of raspberry, cherry and peach flavors with hints of spice in the
finish. Slightly chilled, this Rosé is the ultimate wine to kick off the
warm weather season and celebrate Mom.
Barbara Passino is the proprietor/chef of Oak Knoll Inn, a luxu-
rious, intimate inn nestled amidst rows of grapevines in Napa Valley,
California’s Wine Country. Her decadent breakfasts have become
California legend and attract visitors from all over the world.
B.R. Cohn Winery is located at 15000 Sonoma Highway 12 in
Glen Ellen. The tasting room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Founded in 1984 by Bruce Cohn, the estate winery is known for its

Wineries are Going Green for April Passport

by Laura Ness
Is there anything so brilliantly green as a newly leafing vineyard in
the full throttle of spring? If you have never seen the tender shoots
putting forth on the vines, get thee to a vineyard post-haste. Not only
are the wildflowers at their peak, but you will literally be able to watch
the tiny shoots open and put forth leaves, over the course of an hour
or two. Magical.
But this magical time can be very deceptive, says viticulturist Prudy
Foxx. “Amidst all this spectacular greenery lurks the ever-present
danger of pests. From gophers to mold to weeds, this is not the time
to be complacent if you are a grower!” she has a very philosophical
approach to vineyard maintenance, urging growers to grab a glass of
wine from their 2009 vintage and walk the vineyard, enjoying the
beauty of the new spring growth, vigilantly looking for signs of
encroachment from the evil elements that seek to undermine the
health of the vines. “Spraying needs to be done for mold abatement,
and weeds need to be controlled. Frost is also a constant worry, and
the higher you are, the worse it can be. Those little dips and swales
are especially vulnerable,” Prudy notes. The Summit area is a nail biter,
especially in April: closer to the sun doesn’t mean you can skate past already begun to bottle with glass at half the weight, saving in ship-

Summit Trail wineries are teaming together to offer an eco-tote with
logos of the Summit area wineries on them so you can easily give
someone a “Taste of the Summit” in a unique gift bag that will enable
them to find their way to these wineries to obtain a refill.
Loma Prieta has lots to celebrate, with three gold medals for its
awe-inspiring Pinotage. They will be grafting some of the estate Merlot
and Cabernet vines over to Pinotage later this spring, as well as
planting some new vines. This is the first vineyard in the US to grow
both Pinot Noir and Pinotage.
Poetic Cellars will feature the “Ballad” Bordeaux blend. This wine
follows a very precise line in its faithful replication of proper
Bordeaux. It’s a totally harmonic balance of Cabernet and Merlot, with
a 10% dollop of Cabernet Franc to complete the balance of power. It’s
also amazingly low in alcohol for a wine from Livermore: or a
Cabernet of any kind from California. At 13.5%, it has restraint and
balance, with lovely notes of lavender, dark cassis, caraway and
tarragon, layered with cured Westphalian ham and spicy green olives.
