Wine Garage – Wine Shop ... or Winery?


Most readers have learned over the years that some of the best
wine-deals in Napa Valley can be found at the Wine Garage in Calis-
toga. When Todd and Joy Miller moved to Napa Valley in 2001, they
were surprised to find that they could hardly find any wines for less
than $45 a bottle. Then they went to a dinner party at a winemaker’s
home, and were shocked to discover that many winemakers couldn’t
afford to drink the wines they made. That’s when the Millers decided
to open the first wine shop in Napa Valley that only carried wines
under $25 a bottle.
So in 2003, Todd Miller swapped his corporate necktie for jeans
and boots and started scouring Northern California for great, undis-
covered wines to offer at his new wine shop, the Wine
Garage in Calistoga. Miller drove the roads less trav-
eled, meeting with winemakers, walking in their
vineyards and tasting their grapes, barrel samples and
finished wines. The winemakers, tickled to have a
real, live wine buyer at their winery, shared stories
with Miller over a glass of wine at the dinner table.
The Miller’s started a wine club three years ago comes to mind. The Zin and Syrah are equally good and

Monticelli – a former assistant winemaker at Silver Oak – made some

Todd found some Cabernet grapes up on Diamond Mountain

coming in right during the peak of harvest. He cut a deal. Then he
made another deal on some Zinfandel and then later on some Syrah.

The Cabernet from the Diamond Mountain section of Napa gets

Jaxon Keys Winery & Distillery


by Frances Rivetti
Anchored on a commanding hilltop amidst some 125 sprawling
acres of scenic estate vineyards just outside of Hopland, newly remod-
eled Jaxon Keys Winery and Distillery imparts equal parts homey
personality and a welcoming repose for wine country aficionados
seeking an authentic experience of casual wine tasting and a peaceful,
country picnic.
Plantation-style outdoor ceiling fans and luxurious wicker seating
arrangements complete an inviting picture of refreshing tranquility on
a wide-wrap-around porch recently constructed to overlook rolling
hills of vineyards surrounding Jaxon Keys’ meticulously and lovingly
restored signature farmhouse and tasting room.
Originally founded in 1858 through a Mexican land grant, John
McGlashen, a Scottish immigrant, named his rural Northern Cali-

cases of the estate’s Signature Reserve Brandy are produced each year,
aged on average 15-23 years to create a graceful, elegant brandy blend
of rich, reserve stocks. Some 200 cases of stylish and bold Old Stock
Brandy are produced on the estate each year. Aged between seven to

Trinchero Napa Valley: Magic in the Vineyards


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, we are
incredibly fortunate to own estates in some of the Valley’s most distin-
guished appellations, including Mt. Veeder, Atlas Peak, St. Helena and
Rutherford. Each estate showcases a unique confluence of soils, geog-
raphy 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 Vine-
yard Cabernet Sauvignon, 2007
Signature Cabernet Sauvignon
and 2009 Mary’s Vineyard Sauvi-
gnon Blanc.
The Trincheros own more than
100 acres of estate vineyards in
prime Napa Valley appellations,
including St. Helena, Mount
Veeder, Rutherford, Calistoga, and

Welcome to
CALISTOGA
Plan for a Nature Break – Old Faithful Geyer
by Christin Piccin
When wine touring has tired you out, take a short detour from
Highway 29 beneath the lofty peak of Mt. St. Helena, for a nature
break at Old Faithful Geyser of California.
Just outside Calistoga, the Geyser’s peaceful garden “theater” is
ringed with tall grasses and feathery-leafed bamboo. In anticipation of
the imminent eruption, I found a shady seat at one of the many picnic
tables scattered about and closed my eyes. Only the songs of chirping
birds who were secreted away in the bamboo, were evident. Suddenly,
though, there was an ominous, throaty rumble. My eyes popped open.
The geyser was coming to life.
Centered in a small, grass-hemmed pond, the geyser had begun
coughing puffs of steam which dissolved into the warm afternoon air.
Then it started to gurgle and bubble like a witch’s cauldron. Suddenly
it sent up a few spurts three or four feet high.
After a few minutes of playful squirting, it erupted. It was as if
someone had opened a fire hydrant straight into the sky. A column of
350-degree hot water spouted from the rocky source, backlit by the
sun. As it peaked, the steaming water fanned out into miniscule

droplets that fell like shimmering diamond dust then disappeared,


leaving the pond as calm and serene as it was before the show began.
Hot springs and steam vents are numerous but there are only a
handful of geysers in the world that can be relied on to erupt
predictably and repeatedly. Old Faithful Geyser of California is one of
those.
Geyser owner Olga Kolbek, who has logged the geyser’s activity
since 1983, noticed a surprising link between the geyser’s eruptions
and earthquakes. While the geyser spouts off at 40-minute intervals
most days, subsequent studies by seismologists have revealed that
California’s Old Faithful goes off schedule when earthquakes activity
is imminent. The geyser’s eruptions come farther apart and decrease in
size, coinciding with earthquakes within 300 miles in the next few
days.
Kolbek delights in sharing her vast knowledge of the geyser and of
local history, and is available by appointment for private tours. Like-
wise, a series of panels scattered through the garden area, plus a video
room explain the mysteries of California’s Old Faithful. The geyser is
located at 1299 Tubbs Lane off Hwy. 29 in Calistoga and is open 9 a.m.
to 6 p.m., every day of the year. For more information, call (707) 942-
6463 or visit www.oldfaithfulgeyser.com.

VJB Vineyards & Cellars – Henry Belmonte’s


Tribute to a Love of Life, Wine and Food
by Abigail Zimmerman
Henry lost his life long best friend September of 2000. His
brother, Victor Joseph Belmonte, passed away suddenly from a rare
genetic condition leaving family and friends devastated. Rather than
wallow, Henry Belmonte summoned his courage and in late 2000
struck out to build a living tribute to Victor’s love of life, wine and food
– wine label “Victor Joseph Belmonte” or VJB Vineyards & Cellars.
Making wine is a Belmonte family tradition spanning generations
and two continents. Father Vittorio worked alongside his parents and
siblings in the family vineyards in Bonito, Italy, just south of Naples.
Emigrating to the United States, Vittorio and his young bride, Maria,
made their way to Sonoma Valley in 1976 in search of a setting remi-
niscent of Bonito’s bucolic hills and rolling vineyards, a setting ideal
they hoped for Henry and Victor’s childhood.

Livermore Shakes Features Masters


at Work at Concannon Vineyard
We call William Shakespeare “the Bard” and “the Master” due his
extraordinary use of the English language to convey the deepest feel-
ings, the bawdiest jokes and explore our deepest dreams and desires.
At Livermore Shakespeare Festival, artists who are also titled
“masters” due to their professional training are gathering to produce
Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and Tom Stoppard’s The Real Thing,
this summer at Concannon Vineyard in Livermore.
Shakespeare’s Associates, producers of Livermore Shakespeare
Festival has renewed a relationship with the A.C.T. Conservatory in
San Francisco and will be featuring 3rd-year MFA candidate Wickett
as Juliet and 2nd-year Ben Kahre as the firey Tybalt. Salazar, who won
the hearts of audiences last year as Lysander in A Midsummer Night’s
Dream, will play Romeo; his training was done at the famed Conser-
vatory in Los Angeles.
Performances are outdoors at award-winning Concannon Vine-
yard July 8 through August 7th. Patrons have the choice of bringing
a picnic or purchasing food at Concannon’s new Underdog Café. For
a calendar and information, visit LivermoreShakes.org. Tickets range
from $25 to $39, day-dependent, with discounts for seniors and
others. For tickets call 1-800-838-3006, or visit LivermoreShakes.org.
