intelligence for the Wine conSUMer by Len Napolitano
How do I conduct a wine tasting at home?

Wine-themed parties, or dinners, are a great way to explore new wines while socializing with others who enjoy wines as much as you do. While a wine tasting dinner should plan courses that pair with specific wines, a basic wine tasting at home does not necessarily have to include dinner. At a minimum, a few simple items should be available to eat. More important than whether or not a formal dinner is served is deciding how to feature the wines. One popular approach is to assign each guest, or couple, a specific type of wine to bring. For example, ask one to bring a Santa Barbara Pinot Noir, and another a Sonoma Chardonnay, or Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. The guests can choose the specific producer and price level but you may want to establish a price range for everyone to work within. As an option, you could provide all the wines for the night. In either case, all wines should be shared among all guests. Bottles should be placed in full view on a main table for guests to pour for themselves. Hand everyone a glass and remind them to take small samples so that the wines get distributed as evenly as possible. It's a good idea to create a theme for the tasting. It could be to focus on white wines from a specific country or wine region, or red wines from a particular vintage. Its really up to you how narrow you want the theme to be. For example, you could ask some guests to bring a specific varietal from a specific region and other guests to bring the same varietal wine from a neighboring region, or different country. Your guests will enjoy getting their assignments. Comparing the wines by tasting can be as entertaining as the stories some will tell about their search for the wines. Once deciding on a theme, plan some food to go with the wines. If youre uncertain about what to serve, or want to keep things simple, just provide bread, crackers and a variety of cheeses or meats. If you want to offer more than the just these basics, be daring. Dont be afraid to experiment with a broad range of small dishes, hot and cold. With a nice selection of wines being brought to the party, youre bound to find a few great pairings with the food among all the possible combinations. Its especially rewarding when someone has a wine and food epiphany at your party! Another approach is to give a blind wine tasting party. A blind tasting is when you or your guests dont know in advance what wines are being served. Here, guests arrive at the party with their assigned bottles already inside bags that hide the entire bottle except for the opening. Assign guests a number and have them write it on the outside of the bag, easy for people to see. Once all wines are on the table, the only information about the wine given to guests is whether it is red or white (you can designate separate white wine and red wine tables.) The varietal, brand or appellation of the wine should remain unknown to everyone except the person who brought it. Allow two hours for everyone to taste all the wines and to give each wine a rating from 1 to 10 on a personal score card that you create and provide in advance. Then, starting with wine number one, take everyones scores and add them up for each wine to determine the highest scoring wine of the night. You can also vote for best white wine, best red wine and even worst wine of the night. The most exciting moment comes when the bags are removed and labels revealed. Thats when the discussion really gets spirited!

FEATURE STORY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
THE HESS COLLECTION

BY ALEXANDRA CHARSLEY
THE HESS COLLECTION Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 4411 Redwood Road Napa, CA 94558 Complimentary winery and vineyard tours are offered daily from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and reservations are not required. The Hess Collection Contemporary Art Museum is free and self-guided iPod audio tours are available for optimum enjoyment of these works. For the Tour of the Palate, Wine and Cheese Pairings, or private tours, call (707) 255-8584 for reservations or visit their website at www.hesscollection.com. Follow The Hess Collection on Facebook and Twitter.
On top of Mount Veeder lies The Hess Collection, home to handcrafted, small-lot wines and an art collection that would make any serious art enthusiast ecstatic. The drive to The Hess Collection is a scenic winding forest road which was named for several Redwood Mills that once produced lumber to help build San Francisco. As you walk up to the winery, you will notice the courtyard with natural vegetation. Along the perimeter there are reclaimed teak tables and chairs shaded by hanging wisteria. The original ivy-covered, stone winery built in 1903 by Theodore Gier flanks the courtyard and adds to the historic charm of the estate. It is here where your adventure begins and with so many unique options, its easy to spend an afternoon enjoying their wine, food and impressive art collection. The Hess Collection was founded by Swiss entrepreneur Donald Hess, who first purchased vineyards on Mount Veeder in 1978. Later he leased the winery buildings from The Christian Brothers and after a long restoration, the winery opened in 1989. Just as his prominent art collection adorns the gallery walls, their winemakers are given the same free expression to produce exceptional wines. The Hess Collection Mount Veeder estate wines represent the unique mountain climate and are distinguished for their complexity, structure and elegance. There are more than 900 acres here, however only 300 acres are farmed. Scattered throughout the hillsides, you can see their 200 small blocks of grapes planted in the most suitable conditions for each varietal. The Hess Napa Valley wines come from single vineyard estates that have been hand selected by one of their four winemakers. Their estate vineyards and all sourced grapes are sustainably farmed. These wines are well balanced, approachable and made to be enjoyed daily. They are also

exclusive to the tasting room so theres no better time to discover these appellation wines. The Hess Collection is just off the beaten path and since theres so much to appreciate here, it only makes sense to stay and enjoy a wine and cheese pairing. Offered daily, you can enjoy an educational wine production or gallery tour with your private host. After, head over to the barrel room or garden courtyard for a tasting of current release wines paired with artisan cheeses, seasonal fruits and nuts prepared by Executive Chef Chad Hendrickson. Or, if you are looking to further explore The Hess Collection wines, take A Tour of the Palate. On Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 2 p.m. you can enjoy a guided tour of their Contemporary Art Museum followed by a tasting of three current release wines expertly paired with three small entre plates. Reservations are required for both and this is a great way to spend an afternoon. With a combination of perception, passion and insightfulness, Donald Hess personally selects works of international contemporary art, creating a collection that is both thought-provoking and inspirational. This museum contains roughly 20% of his personal collection and the works are often rotated and lent to galleries throughout the world. Im not sure which I was impressed with more; the wine, food or the art but all three set in this ideal venue will keep me coming back. Whatever tour or tasting you choose during your stay, you will not find another winery that delivers such a personalized and memorable experience.

Venture Off of the Beaten Path to Bennett Lane Winery for a Taste of Calistoga Cabernet
As the warmth of summer days roll into Napa Valley, a fool-proof way to make the most of the season is a day spent at the Bennett Lane Winery in Calistoga. One of our favorite stops every year, Bennett Lane is known for its succulent Cabernets, their signature feasting wine, Maximus, and for one of the finest visitor experiences in the valley. Founded by Randy and Lisa Lynch in 2003, Bennett Lanes off-the-beaten track location and friendly tasting room offers visitors to Napa a secret gem and a great way to learn about and try some of Napas best wines in a more intimate setting. Bennett Lanes Cabs have continuously garnered critical acclaim. In the short period that the winery has been open they have received an incredible 33 scores of 90+ Points between Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Robert Parkers Wine Advocate. Just last year, the 2008 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon scored 93 Points from Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points from Robert Parkers Wine Advocate, and 91 Points from Wine Spectator. Year after year the popular blend of Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah has won accolades from critics and visitors alike. The red feasting wine, as Maximus is affectionately referred to on the label, demonstrates owners Randy and Lisa Lynchs commitment to making wine an integral part of entertaining with family and friends. The current vintage of 2008 is available in the tasting room and earned an impressive 94 points from Wine Enthusiast at $35 per bottle this is the best deal in the valley. Bennett Lanes wines are crafted to be approachable, yet complex or what owner Randy Lynch calls the best of both worlds, meaning you can drink them today, but they are structured enough to cellar for several years. My goal is for us to make consistent wines both in quality and taste from year to year, so that consumers can trust Bennett Lane wines, he says. Only eight years old, Bennett Lane has quickly become one of the top vintners in the valley and has upgraded their tasting room to match the amazing accolades that the wines have received in their first few years. It is fast becoming the must see destination for wine lovers visiting Californias newest AVA of Calistoga. In addition to the new elegantly appointed tasting bar, they are premiering their new custom ipad application for their guests to use for an interactive tasting experience. Guests can not only read the latest reviews and tasting notes but find interesting food pairing recipes, share their favorite new wines on facebook, and email their personal wine notes home, all while tasting a glass of Napas finest. Owner Randy Lynch notes; As a small winery we strive to not only make the best hand crafted wines available, but also one of the most educational and enjoyable tasting experiences around for guests coming to visit one of the premier wine growing regions in the world. The tasting flight at Bennett Lane is $15 and includes four of Bennett Lanes wines, the Cabernet, Reserve Chardonnay, Maximus and Merlot. We encourage you to put Bennett Lane on your short-list of must-visit tasting rooms as the production is small and the Cabernets sell out quickly. Visiting Bennett Lane affords tasters another rarity with a small winery a likely run-in (and perhaps a last minute barrel tasting if youre lucky!) with owners Randy and Lisa Lynch. Bennett Lane Winery is located in an understated Mediterranean-style building at the secluded and beautiful northern end of the Napa Valley, and is considered well worth the drive.
BENNETT LANE WINERY Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 3340 Highway 128, just over two miles north of Calistoga www.bennettlane.com | (707) 942-6684 | 1-877-MAX-NAPA

Frenchie Winery Debuts at Raymond Vineyards

Napa Valleys First Dog Tasting Room and a New Breed of Wines
Frenchie Winery, named for and inspired by the beloved French Bulldog of Raymond Vineyards Proprietor Jean-Charles Boisset, is now open for visitors. Located at Raymond Vineyards in the Napa Valley, Frenchie Winery is the only tasting room designed exclusively for dogs. In addition, the first two wines in a series of wines bearing the Frenchie label are available for purchase at the winery, www.FrenchieWinery.com and www.wine.com. Each wine depicts Frenchie as a unique historical figure, including Louis XIV and Napoleon and, soon, Marie Antoinette.
Frenchie, a Dog like No Other

Frenchie Winery is named for a leader and a revolutionary in his own right, Boissets French Bulldog.
The Winery
With more than 46 million dog owners in the U.S., Frenchie wanted to ensure that his fellow canines would be well taken care of when their people chose to visit Raymond Vineyards. Inside, the winery includes five individual kennel spaces featuring specially designed wine barrel dog beds. Above the beds, in the Gallery of Frenchie, hang canvas portraits depicting Frenchie as historical icons such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Julius Caesar and Marie Antoinette. Overhead, a gorgeous Barkarrat chandelier lights up a very special dog friendly tasting bar dispensing water for its guests. An outdoor play area offers canines a special view of Frenchies bioDOGnamic vineyard, planted to Bordeaux varieties. The exciting new property also includes a small tasting bar for humans where they can sample Frenchie Wines. A doggie-cam will allow pet lovers to keep an eye on their furry friends while visiting the Raymond Winery main tasting room. Plans are underway for several dog-centric events including mobile pet grooming, adopt-a-pet day and more.
The Wines
Although he may not go down in history as one of the greatest leaders of all time, Frenchie will definitely go down in history as the worlds greatest four-legged winemaker. Each wine features a special label depicting Frenchie as an historical figure, inspired by the paintings of artist Carol Lew (www.carollew.com). Just released are: 2009 Frenchie Napoleon Red Blend ($30) Aromas and flavors of black and red fruit with hints of cassis and subtle oak are unleashed in each glass of this special blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Sangiovese, Zinfandel, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. 2009 Frenchie Louis XIV Cabernet Sauvignon ($30) A blend of 61 percent Sonoma County and 39 percent Napa County fruit, this wine has fetching aromas and flavors of blackberries and cocoa with hints of cassis and subtle notes of vanilla. Additional wines are planned for launch in the future including a white wine blend, Frenchie Marie Antoinette. For a limited time, a special two-bottle wine duo including three Frenchie-branded tennis balls is available for purchase exclusively on wine.com for $49.99. All Frenchie wines are available for purchase at FrenchieWinery.com or at the Frenchie Winery at Raymond Vineyards.

WINEMAKER PROFILE: PRAGER WINERY & PORT WORKS
PETER PRAGER
Making Wines Few Winemakers Dare Attempt
BY JoSh Stein
PRAGER WINERY & PORT WORKS open by appointment only, daily from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 1281 lewelling lane St. helena, cA 94574 (707) 963-7678 | www.pragerport.com
Visited the Prager Winery today. Came all the way from Pennsylvania. All the wines we tasted were outstanding and our host was extremely gracious. Well definitely be back.
Phil M.
Imagine being a teenager and being told your fathers midlife crisis was relocating the family from Orange County to the Napa Valley, where through perseverance and effort by the whole family, the creation of some of the finest New World ports was the result? Sounds like the makings of a movie, right? Well, actually, welcome to just the start of the story that is Peter Pragers thirty-five years in the wine business. Napa is world-known for its winemakers dry wines; however, almost no one has turned those techniques to producing the same kind of range of sweet wines except for Jim and now Peter Prager, that is, who have used that same fine winemakers eye for detail but applied in a different fashion, honoring the tradition of long-lived, long-aging, always-representative-of-thevintage port wines. And not just with one or two. How about six, ranging from dry to off-dry to sweet, displaying the ability of port wines to pair with a wide range of cuisines. Jim Pragers first crush took place in an 1865-built carriage house on their property in south St. Helena. Their first releases were Cabernet, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, and the Noble Companion Cabernet Port all 120 cases of it in 1979. To this day, everyone at the winery is a Prager by birth or marriage, and while Generation One is now comfortably retired, Generations Two run all aspects with Three all twenty-two of them quickly growing in the wings. The General Manager is brother Jeff; brother John manages the tasting room and the winerys distribution. Sister Mary coordinates the wine club, and her husband, Richard, is Cellar Master. Sister Katie is CFO, and brother Peter is winemaker. Peter himself went to Frenso State for his degree in enology, finishing just as Jim was stepping back from his responsibilities in 1995. Peter makes a range of wines beyond the norm, not just for Napa wine but for North American wine. Now available are three table wines and six ports, presenting the full array of whats possible with this winemaking philosophy, though each is no more than about eight hundred cases of production. The long-aging Royal Escort Port (and the only released in special years Royal Escort Vintage Port) is made from Petite Sirah, and the Noble Companion Tawny Port, aged for more than a decade in oak, is ready for drinking right away. The Tomas Port is made from the Portuguese varietals Tinto Cao, Touriga and Tinta Roriz, which are almost never seen in California. Going even further into rare production territory, the Aria White Port is made from Chardonnay, and the Alyssa Golden Dry Port you read that right is made from the white Verdelho grape. The still wines are equally out of the ordinary: Petite Sirah and two late-harvest Rieslings, the fruity and crisp Sweet Claire and the lightly fortified Madeline. As Im sure you can tell, the Prager wines are unlike anything in the Valley, and the Prager tasting experience is beyond the norm, too. I dont want to give everything away, but several totally unique tasting room displays await visitors, as does explanation of the fortification process and how and why the Pragers produce the least sweet ports in California. Believe it or not, its possible to produce dry and off-dry ports, but you have to visit the winery to find out the secrets of this process from the makers themselves. I will say this: bring a bill or two of local currency with you; it will add to the ambiance and the experience of talking to the family about their wines. Do yourself a favor and step off the beaten path just south of St. Helena youll be glad you did. Enjoy!

Wine Tasting in
SUISUN VALLEY
Visit Vezr Family Vineyards
The Napa Back Road
Vezr Family Vineyards is one of the more picturesque and inviting of the Suisun Valley wine region. Owned by the famously friendly and welcoming Frank and Liz Vezr, the winery is a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of their more well-known neighbors over the hill. With a climate that boasts of sun-drenched days and sweet foggy nights, the grapes of the Vezr Family Vineyards enjoy near perfect growing conditions. Their winery is best known for the luscious Petite Sirah that they produce, as well as their hearty, fruit-forward Zinfandel and a little known, but magnificent blend, La Salette. While lacking the big name appellation, these wines are by no means also-rans. In fact, the region is rated as the oldest and best in the State of California by the U.C Davis University. These are seriously good wines. The Vezr Family Vineyard tasting room is located in the tiny village of Mankas Corners. The town was originally established by a local miner in 1846. Hints of its old west history can be seen in the old general store and surrounding buildings. The tasting room is open seven days a week and no appointment is necessary. The ten dollar tasting fee is waived with a wine purchase. But, to really get the most out of your visit, opt for their VIP Barrel Blend Tour. At a bargain price of $35, this tour is well worth the extra investment.

TASTING ROOM OF THE WEEK
JUDDS HILL
BY AleXAnDrA chArSleY
JUDDS HILL open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. by advance appointment 2332 Silverado trl napa, cA 94558 (707) 255-2332 | www.juddshill.com
Judds Hill Winery is right off the Silverado Trail, a short drive from downtown Napa. The winding drive in is breathtaking as you pass the vineyards. It is a family and dog friendly tasting room that is relaxing, fun, hip and cool. So whether you are a serious wine connoisseur, or just looking to do some wine tasting, Judds Hill is a perfect winery to visit. Their indoor tasting room is comfortable and intimate. There is a large table for guests to taste their current releases along with a selection of limited edition wines only available at the winery or through their wine club. Its clean, modern and contemporary with lots of natural light, but small enough to enjoy a very private seated tasting. Artwork created by winery founder Art Finkelstein lines the walls and makes it feel very casual. As the season heats up, there are two patio areas for tastings which are set apart and shaded so you can take in their scenic grounds. Judds Hill is owned and operated by two generations of the Finkelstein family. While his parents Art and Bunnie founded the winery, Judd, along with his wife, Holly, are still dedicated to making premium handcrafted wines. Guests really feel the connection to a family run operation. Most days you can find Judd in the bottle blending camps or tasting rooms. Taking an intimate and personal approach to winemaking, they limit their annual production to less than 3,000 cases. Being a wine club member here has its advantages. Members enjoy their exclusive small lot wines and great release parties and other seasonal events. Check out their website for a list of their latest events at www.juddshill.com. If you are looking for a wine adventure, then sign up for their Bottle Blending Day Camp. There are several options available depending on how many finished bottles you would like to create. Guests will work with a Blending Guide to blend their perfect Bordeaux-style wine from four barrel samples (two Cabernet Sauvignons, one Merlot and one Cabernet Franc). Once you have decided on a final blend, you will get to hand bottle, cork and label your bottles. Your personally blended wine will be sent home with you the same day! So whether you come to Judds Hill for a personal wine tasting or to enjoy one of their great events, you will enjoy spending an afternoon here sipping exceptional wine from a family run winery.

ROMBAUER VINEYARDS

ROMBAUER VINEYARDS
open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 3522 Silverado trail north, St. helena, cA 94574 1-800-622-2206 | www.rombauer.com
Rombauer Vineyards is one of those wineries everyone knows, if it says Rombauer on a bottle, you can be guaranteed high quality, soulful wines to go with food, bringing enjoyment to all who partake. The Rombauer philosophy is the Joy of Wine crafting releases meant to pair with meals, echoing great-Aunt Irma Rombauers belief that the joy of life is the pursuit of what is best to taste and enjoy. Now at year thirty-two, and known for decades as a Napa Valley must visit, its clear to see and taste that theyve found a winning formula. How? By keeping the emphasis on what matters: drinkable wines and an enjoyable experience the food and the people matter most, not the attitude! The winery itself is on the north end of the Silverado Trail, giving a fun drive and showing off glorious views and uncrowded experiences on the road less travelled. The hilltop winery and tasting room, looking out over the heritage Zindandel vineyard visitors drive through along the way, are built over more than a miles worth of caves dug into the hillside. Picnic tables and a trellised gazebo confirm what matters most: relaxed enjoyment. Tastings are available daily at three separate tasting bars in the tasting room, as is the self-guided garden stroll through the more than one hundred plant and flower species, and the views of the Mayacamas are photo-worthy, for sure. Two different flights, current releases and proprietary, winery-only releases await. The wines are just as much a standout as the views, and fitting in with their m.o., the Rombauers really have thought through the logistics of pairing wine and food, not just in terms of varietals but also in offering multiple bottle sizes, ranging from 375 millimeter half-bottles, to the standard 750 bottle we all know so well, to 1.5-liter magums and even larger formats for occasions requiring something extra special. What awaits is their Carneros Chardonnay, Merlot, Zinfandels, vineyard-select Cabernets and Le Meilleur du Chai the best of the cellar. There are also two terrific sweets, a Zinfandel Port and the Late Harvest Chardonnay known simply and unsurprisingly as Joy. Visitors in search of the real Napa experience need look no further. Theres a reason the name Rombauer brings such great associations; come taste for yourself and find out why youll be glad you did. Enjoy!

Charles Krug Winery Announces Gas Up Summer Rebate

Summer gas rebate will provide relief to wine tasters
High price of gas got you down? The folks in the Charles KrugPeter Mondavi Family Winery tasting room feel the pain, too, and have devised a way to help this summer. Beginning immediately, they will offset the cost of the gas spent to visit the winery in St. Helena with a rebate against tasting fees. In the Peter Mondavi Sr. family, excellence is a family tradition and their Charles Krug wines have represented honest value for nearly 70 years. Co-proprietor Peter Mondavi Jr. related, My brother, Marc, and I know our customers sometimes travel quite a ways to visit Charles Krug, and we were lamenting about how the price of gas has gone up so much. So we came up with this idea to give visitors to our winery a break. During the Gas Up rebate promotion the farther visitors travel to visit Charles Krug, the larger the rebate to offset what was spent to get there. A vehicle that comes from 10-24 miles away, for example, would receive a $5 rebate, from 25-49 miles, $10, and a vehicle traveling more than 50 miles would receive a $15 rebate. The promotion runs now through September 30, or until the average price of gas falls below $4 per gallon in the San Francisco Bay Area, whichever comes first. There is one rebate per vehicle, and AAAs Daily Fuel Gauge Report for California will be used to confirm average gas prices. We think Charles Krug would support this kind of incentive, continued Peter Mondavi Jr., whose family has owned Charles Krug Winery since 1943. He was an extremely hard worker and not ST. HELENA immune to financial difficulties himself. To join in the fun, first visit www.charleskrug.com and print the Gas Up rebate, then present the rebate at the Charles Krug Winery tasting room. The rebate will be applied to a tasting fee.
Second Annual Fathers Day Picnic

A cool Corvette show will also take place in front of the Redwood Cellar as well a must see! Adult tickets are $25. Children twelve and under; hot dogs, choice of soda and sides tickets are $5, limited seating first come, first served. For groups of six or more, please call ahead, 1-888-747-2229.

ZD WINES Zero Defects, Guaranteed!

BY JoSh Stein
ZD WINES open daily 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. | tours are by appointment 8383 Silverado trail in rutherford 1-800-487-7757 | www.zdwines.com | facebook and twitter
Long before Napa was world famous, wine country had its intrinsic appeals: a slow pace of gradual movement, an appreciation for the Valleys environs, working with and not against nature. That feeling of connectedness is what ZDs tasting room and various tasting experiences are designed to let you feel for yourself. ZD stands not only for its founders initials but also for Zero Defects, which aptly describes not just the wines but the time spent at this perfect place in the heart of the Silverado Trail. Norman deLeuze, and partner, Gino Zepponi the ZD in ZD Wines were two aerospace engineers with a love of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay who received the first new Sonoma County permit in decades when they fell in love with Carneros in the 1970s. This new winery permit allowed the multiple-generation family winery to thrive this long because they know how to take the best the Valley gives them and put it into the bottle for others to enjoy, as is evinced by the wall of awards tucked discreetly to the side in the tasting room. ZD are producers of more-than-excellent Cabernet, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir plus some very special winery-only bottlings, known as the Rosa Lee Whims, including, at various times, releases of Barbera, Malbec, Muscat Canelli, Mourvdre, Petit Sirah, Pinot Grigio, Riesling and Viognier the newest is a delicious and not-to-be-missed Grenache Ros. In 1992, ZD introduced Abacus a solera-style multi-vintage blend of every ZD Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon ever produced, which is held in the barrel until bottling. Every year since, a limited amount is bottled and that years new vintage Reserve Cabernet is added back to the barrels. ZD Wines offers special tours and tastings by appointment only. Weatherpermitting, the Eco Tour provides the opportunity for conversation about the ZD estate and its practices. As you walk the perimeter of the property, you are exposed to all the various ways in which ZD and its people act as conservators: organic farming, cover crops, insectiaries, owl boxes, composting and vermicomposting, use of biodiesel for all equipment, hybrid vehicles for everyone, solar panels, waste reduction, water recycling and high efficiency use, four-stage chilling to match power to task at hand, and on and on. The winery even pays employees a daily incentive to carpool! Equally, the Private Group Tasting provides a relaxed experience where groups of eight or more people can enjoy a private tasting of ZDs classic wines in the cellar, and the Cellar Tour and Tasting allows visitors to enjoy several current vintage and reserve wines with a private guided tour through the cellar and a sampling of wine maturing in the barrel. Most enjoyably, the Vineyard View Tasting provides a selection of current, reserve and library wines in crystal stemware in the eponymous room with its west-Valley-facing floor-to-ceiling windowed space and exterior deck above the crushpad at the top of the winery. From there, you can see almost all of the property as you enjoy the wines complemented by artisan cheeses and finished with a decadent chocolate truffle. Last but not least, like many others, ZD has a wine club, called First Taste, but unlike other clubs, you select what, when, and how much youd like sent. That guarantees the club members dont just feel special at the winery and makes sure there are zero defects in every shipment. And that really sums up the ZD Wines experience: everything has been tastefully and thoughtfully been considered ahead of time, guaranteeing your time is enjoyably well spent. Cheers!

CALISTOGA
Old Faithful Geyser of California A Natural Phenomena

BY Michelle J. BAKer
For all of Napa Valleys world-renown as a wine-tasting destination, did you know that the valley also has one of only three Old Faithful geysers in the world? Located at the north end of the valley in Calistoga, Old Faithful makes for a fun and fascinating afternoon stop between wineries. About every 30 minutes, visitors to the geysers are treated to a firstrate show an eruption of steam and extremely hot water spraying 60 to 100 feet in the air. The term Old Faithful refers to geysers that erupt on regular intervals. Water for the Old Faithful Geyser of California comes from an underground river. When this water flows over the hot molten magma deep in the earth, it boils, expands and then collects in large cavities. Under tremendous pressure from the heat, the superheated water is forced through the fractures and erupts with an outpouring of steam followed by hot spewing water. Old Faithful is surrounded by palm trees and thick bamboo, making for a relaxing and partially shaded setting. There are picnic tables with umbrellas and a covered seating area, all with excellent views of the geyser. The gift shop is stocked with snacks such as ice cream bars, chips and a variety of drinks, or if you want to make it a lunch stop, bring in a picnic lunch from town and a bottle of wine from one of the nearby wineries! Dont miss some of the other interesting features at Old Faithful. Check out the wishing
wells that were once used as hot mineral therapy pools. Theres also an informative exhibit area on geyser eruptions and earthquake predictions, as well as a brief history of the town of Calistoga. And best of all, theres a petting zoo with Tennessee Fainting Goats, Jacobs Four Horn Sheep and Guard Llamas. Old Faithful Geyser of California is located at 1299 Tubbs Lane in Calistoga. The gift shop is a great place to find unique Old Faithful and Napa Valley themed souvenirs, including mugs, shot and wine glasses, postcards, T- shirts and sweatshirts in adult and child sizes, hats and visors, keychains, water bottles, pens and much more. Old Faithful is open daily year round from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the winter and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the summer. Admission is $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, $3 for kids ages six to 12 and children under age six are free.

TASTING ROOM OF THE WEEK
SODA ROCK WINERY

BY SUe StrAight, the Wine Wench
SODA ROCK WINERY 8015 highway 128, just outside of healdsburg open daily for tasting from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. www.sodarockwinery.com | (707) 433-3303
One of Alexander Valleys newest, yet oldest wineries awaits you. Let me explain Soda Rock Winery was originally constructed back in 1869, the Alamo-like stone faade was added in 1943, but the new-and-improved Soda Rock Winery made its debut in December of 2011. This wonderful place is an eclectic blend of old-meets-new. The main building that houses the tasting bar and lounge oozes history the rough-hewn stone faade (featured front and center) outside of the building is your first clue. Once inside the large, airy tasting room and lounge, with its exposed brick walls and redwood beams, you almost expect to hear the chink-chink of spurs as cowboys and farmers mosey up to the long antique bar for a drink. The contemporary touches in and around the tasting bar and lounge include stained cement floors all throughout the structures and sleek, modern-looking buildings that house the winery and event facility. There are large pieces of art displayed around the tasting bar and a cozy sectional takes up one corner of the room. There are tables and chairs scattered about the room and stools are lined along the bar. Youll want to relax and stay a while. Looking to host a wedding, private party or corporate event? Soda Rock Winery should definitely be on your list of venues to check out! In addition to having have a licensed wedding coordinator on staff, their large event facility accommodates up to 250 people and the smaller, more intimate Vineyard Room can accommodate up to 50 people. The beautifully landscaped picnic area and surrounding grounds are also available for private events. For visitors who would like to prolong their Soda Rock experience, there are four luxuriously appointed guest suites on site as well. The main focus in the tasting bar and lounge is the wine. There are a few t-shirts and other chatchkes available, but youll want to sit down, take some deep sniffs and sips and thoroughly experience the wines they are really good! I tasted a few wines during my visit and enjoyed them all. My favorites were the following: 2009 Reserve Chardonnay, ($36) I am usually a card-carrying member of the ABC (Anything But Chardonnay) club, but this classic beauty totally swayed my opinion! Mouthwatering aromas of buttered toast, vanilla and citrus delight the nose and continue as flavors in the richly textured, juicy mouthfeel. 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon The General ($50) Wow! What a gorgeous Cab! Black cherry, cassis, orange peel and spice box aromas lure the taster into a luscious mouthful of consistent flavors, which linger through the long, delicious finish.

LIVERMORE VALLEY Wine Country

Chardonnay are other popular selections. The Chardonnay is a California style Chardonnay with fruit notes, oak and butter. The Petite Sirah is grown from the fruit of a family friend and neighbor, Julio Covarrubias. It has blueberry notes, dark fruit and dry tannins. Two wines were released this year, a dry Cabernet Sauvignon Ros and a 2009 Reserve Cabernet that will be released in July. When the tasting room originally opened they poured only one wine, the 2005 Reserve Cabernet, the same recipe but different vintage. Each year, they work at improving this wine while keeping it consistent with previous vintages. Its exciting that three vintages later we have successfully created a wine that receives such high honors, Heather McGrail said. She says besides sampling the award winning wines, guests always have the opportunity to meet someone from the family at the winery on any certain day. The tasting room is open Friday through Monday and by appointment Tuesday through Thursday. They offer private vineyard tours as well as private tastings for groups or events. For more information, call (925) 215-0717 or visit the website at www.mcgrailvineyards.com.
McGrail Vineyards and Winery

Wine enthusiasts can admire the breathtaking views of a 16-acre Cabernet vineyard sprawled along Greenville Road, perfectly situated on top of a hill in Livermore. McGrail Vineyards and Winery specializes in 100-percent, estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon. McGrail won the Sweepstakes Red Wine Award from the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition this year for its flagship wine, the 2008 McGrail Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve. We farm it to the highest degree for quality. We drop fruit several times throughout the year and we strive for the best fruit possible, said Heather McGrail, McGrail Vineyards and Winery President. The winery ages its wine for 30 months in oak barrels. The extra time in the barrel helps integrate the flavors. They also taste each and every barrel before finalizing its blend which ensures top quality.
Jim and Ginger McGrail opened McGrail Vineyards and Winery in 2008 with the help of their daughter, Heather McGrail. The McGrails have been growing grapes for the last 12 years for the Steven Kent Winery. In 2009, they hired Mark Clarin as winemaker and the rest is history. We use the time honored method of producing wine; start with good grapes and dont mess it up, Heather McGrail said. Our winery is all about fun, family and friends.

Livermore Valley Winerys Drought Resistant Garden Trail

Livermore Valley Winegrowers Association celebrated the opening of the Drought Resistant Garden Trail with a sign installation and toast at Rodrigue Molyneaux Winery on April 12. Developed in cooperation with the Alameda County Master Gardeners, the initial phase of the new trail includes the first of many local winery and event center gardens to feature native, drought resistant plantings. Trail maps will soon be available at www.LVwine.org and at each of the following garden trail locations in Livermore Valley: Cedar Mountain Winery (7000 Tesla Road): A wide perennial garden flanks both sides of the barrel room. The garden is filled with roses; especially captivating is the climbing rose Altissimo. Hardy penstemon and sages also fill the beds. Concannon Vineyard (4590 Tesla Road): Playful topiary is the obvious theme of these gardens, where even mature fruitless Mulberry trees are trained into arches and orbs. Drought resistant New Zealand flaxes, purple hopseed and daylilies are scattered among the olive trees. Concannon was one of the first wineries in Livermore Valley to use roses as detectors of molds and mildew in the vineyard. Las Positas Vineyards (1828 Wetmore Road): Many drought resistant grasses, including California fescue and Mexican feather grass are planted in this extensive landscape that also features Teucrium chamaedrtys (germander). Rodrigue Molyneaux Winery (3053 Marina Avenue): Avid gardener and winery owner Nancy Rodrigue is challenged by lack of sun in her landscape that features many garden rooms. With the advice of master gardeners, she has replaced ground covers with ceanothus and native deer grass. A border that runs along an outdoor seating area has been replanted with honey bush mahonia and various colored leafed heuchera that add color. Wente Vineyards Estate Winery (5565 Tesla Road): A former parking lot is now planted with hardy trees, shrubs and perennials that welcome guests to picnic. Outside the winery, white oleander and olive trees under planted with rosemary, lavender and agastache repeat in drifts along Tesla Road. Coffeeberry and heleanthemum are highlights of a corner garden in this lush space that features native and drought resistant plants. Martinelli Event Center (3575 Greenville Road): The property was given to the Master Gardener Program by the county in 2000 now blooms as an example of beautiful landscaping in a dry summer garden. The University of California Alameda County Master Gardeners Livermore Demonstration Garden is divided into six areas: an oak garden, a flower garden, a dry creek bed garden, a garden that attracts hummingbirds and butterflies, a wind garden and example of gardening on a berm. Several other Livermore Valley wineries are actively working with the Master Gardener Shari Wentz to design and plant drought resistant gardens that will be included in future phases of the wine country trail. Although the program is still in the beginning stages, the Livermore Valley Winegrowers Association and Alameda County Master Gardeners are excited about this cooperative effort and its potential, said Wentz. All of the gardens on the Drought Resistant Garden Trail are open to the public and the Master Gardeners Livermore Demonstration Garden hosts monthly classes. The Master Gardener program is part of Cooperative Extension, the outreach arm of the University of California through its Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Master Gardeners are trained volunteers who provide residents of Alameda County with information to help them garden in schools, backyards, nursing homes and other locations.

June In Bloom on the Summit to Sea Wine Trail

BY lAUrA neSS
June is the time for weddings and graduations, and its Fathers Day, too! Time to bring out the big Bordeaux in honor of the occasion. May we suggest two wines that are tailor-made for gift giving this time of year: the Burrell School Deans List Cabernet Sauvignon and the Honor Roll Merlot. If you want to laud a special graduate, how about a bottle or two of the boldly built, always in style, Valedictorian? Theres always the Extra Credit Cabernet Franc for someone who puts extra effort into everything they do: your Dad, perhaps? Poetic Cellars has Fathers Day labels for that special Dad, and you can also create a custom label for that graduate who deserves some extra recognition. Dads everywhere will love Katys 2007 Reserve Syrah, a rich, wonderfully silky and elegant wine that seduces every part of your palate and hangs around for a really long time, too. If youre looking for something more exotic, the Poetic Cellars 2007 Mourvedre is absolutely stunning right now, and if Dad loves them big, bold and fruity, theres nothing quite like the Poetic Petite Sirah. June means Vintners Festival in the Santa Cruz Mountains, a traditional time to visit the local wineries. Help us celebrate the evergrowing wine region and pay homage to its roots. The first weekend, June 2nd and 3rd, Vintners Festival will be hosted at wineries and restaurants in Santa Clara/San Mateo counties. This is also called East Side weekend. The second weekend, June 9th and 10th, the festival will be hosted at wineries and restaurants in Santa Cruz County, called the West Side weekend. Wineries participating in the Vinters Festival will be pouring from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. with restaurants closing at 4 p.m. Many wineries will be pouring their wines at local restaurants for the festival as well as at their own winery locations. For a map, brochure and tickets, call the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association at (831)685-VINE (8463). You may also purchase your commemorative wine glass, which serves as your ticket to taste throughout the entire double weekend event! Tickets are $40 in advance and $45 at the door. Festival glasses may be purchased online from SCMWA.com. All Summit to Sea wineries will participate in Vintners Festival on the west side. Dancing Creek will be open Saturday, June 9, for Vintners Festival and will be sampling their new 2009 Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir, their fun new white blend of Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Grigio, called Samba, and their Late for the Dance late harvest Zin.

SANTA CLARA/SANTA CRUZ/MONTEREY COUNTIES | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Monterey Wine Festival Celebrates 36 Years

Now in its 36th year the Monterey Wine Festival continues to evolve into a platform designed for the regional wine industry and the community of wine lovers. After 36 years the festival has settled into the wine and food scene like a seashell in the sand. On Friday, June 8 from 5 to 9 p.m., the festival kicks off with guests savoring bites of wonderful food and sips of world-class wines. The cool ocean breeze reminds guests of the local heritage and of this festival that celebrated the wine industry long before many wineries even existed. Now the festival features many new editions that keeps guests happy and the palate alive with anticipation. Spirits, beers, oysters and Champagne are all featured on Friday evening as well as seafood from the Central Bering Sea Fishermans Association, arrays of cheeses, charcuterie and more all pair nicely with the wines. One can only imagine what else you would need to feel more bliss. What fun to hob-knob with the industry professionals and fellow guests that share a love of all that is good to the palate! On Saturday, June 9 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the celebration continues with another addition The Bartenders Fedora Professional Cocktail Competition Throw Down! Guests continue the celebration with a completely mouth watering experience from both the wineries and purveyors of food. Along with all these festival ingredients live music is the final sensation that further ensures a ultimate winning combination. Wine, food, beer, spirits, musicaahhh!
Its a Chowdah Throw Down!

Another successful addition to the festival this year is the 3rd Annual West Coast Chowder Competition. Professional chefs from the west coast will come to compete and chowder lovers will pay homage to their special creations. This year chefs from Seattle, San Francisco, Portland and other chowder known destinations will be landing in Monterey to compete against the local titans of chowder. All competitors will be trying to slay the judges tongues with their creations, take home the prize money and boast of their achievement in what is expected to be one of the most impressive competitions around. Clam, Seafood and Creative Chowders are the categories that make up the contest and the big copper pot award goes to the Best of Show. Guests can sample or buy a cup of chowder, pick their own personal favorites and vote for the peoples choice award comparing their palettes to the judges. Wines that pair with chowders will also be available to sample. Festivities take place at 2012 Custom House Plaza, Monterey. Tickets are available online at www.montereywine.com.
