INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER

BY LEN NAPOLITANO
Is it OK to bring my own bottle of wine to a restaurant?

I am often asked whether it is proper to bring a bottle of wine into a restaurant. I dont discourage anyone from bringing their own wine, but only suggest a few guidelines and advice on what to expect when you arrive with your bottle. Be aware that some restaurants have limits regarding customers taking in their own wine and some do not permit it at all. Aside from high wine list prices being the motivation for taking your own bottle to dinner, the restaurant wine list that offers a very limited choice of wines that also provides a reason to bring your own. Unfortunately, often wine list selections are either lopsided toward the mass-produced, popular brands, or else do not offer a wide enough variety of wines styles. This is why bringing your own bottle to the restaurant sometimes makes sense. Here is how I approach it: If I am uncertain about a particular restaurants policy I will call in advance to ask about bringing my own bottle. I respect a restaurant that does not permit private party wine, and this is more palatable to me if their wine list is extensive, diverse and reasonably priced. I will only bring wine that is special--not an ordinary supermarket wine that can be found on virtually any restaurant wine list. I do not want to appear as if I am competing with the restaurant by bringing in a bottle of something they already have on their list. Of course, it isnt always possible to know this in advance so either I ask in advance or I reduce the chance of that conflict by selecting an older vintage bottle from my collection. On the other hand, for restaurants that have small and very limited wine lists, bringing in an ordinary wine may not be a sensitive issue I expect to pay a fee to the restaurant, known as a corkage fee, to open and serve my bottle. This fee usually ranges from $5 to $25, depending on the restaurant. Some restaurants may waive this fee for their regular customers or if you also order a bottle off their wine list. I always offer a taste of my wine to my server, host or sommelier. I do this simply as a courtesy and it is always appreciated, especially if I have brought an older wine, or one from an unknown, highquality producer. I tip my server based upon the dinner price and the approximate value of the wine that I brought.

Two Ways to Produce Bubbles

Has someone ever handed you a random glass of sparkling wine at an event, from which you eagerly sipped, expecting creaminess and length, but ended up instead disappointed in the insipid, sweet, bubbled white or pink grape juice actually in the glass? No, it wasnt you, and no, all bubbles are not created equal or equally. Blame soda for ever making you think otherwise since thats essentially how that wine was made. Inexpensive sparkling wine tastes cheap not necessarily because of inexpensive grapes (though they dont help) but because of an inexpensive production process, called the Charmat or bulk process, which accelerates the fermentation and thus the carbonation, creating an artificially-tasting mouthfeel on the tongue. Through the use of glass-lined pressure tanks, carbon dioxide can also be injected into the wine, giving it carbonation ala soda water. The result of either looks like sparkling wine, but it sure doesnt give the same pleasures. Indeed, without considerable time on the lees, the spent yeast and other fermentation by-products, the creaminess we associate with a sparkling wine wont be present, which is why the bubbles dont have the same mouthfeel. This latter, methode traditionelle, process produces the bubbles as part of a long, slow fermentation on the yeast in individual bottles and is what creates the luxuriously creamy yet fruity essence of proper sparkling wine or its various pseudonyms around the world (cava, prosecco, Asti, Champagne, etc.). Its no joke that patience is rewarded in sparkling wines. The timeframe is completely different for each methodology, and that has the impact on the finished product. Equally, because the pressure tanks are proportionally so much larger than a sparkling wine bottle, the liquid-to-solids ratio is far different. What produces the creaminess of the mouthfeel in aged sparkling wines is precisely the length of time in contact with the fine lees thats what forms the modern day frozen bolt that each bottle releases during disgorgement before final bottling. Producers will sometimes move sparkling wines into other glass sizes before bottling in the finished glass for this reason: the right ratio really matters to the aging. In fact, all of the packaging for these wines has to be specially designed, but thats a tale for another day. And so, unlike a lot of other things in the world today, you really do get what you pay for with fine sparkling wines and their natural bubbles produced the low and slow way first recognized by winemasters Francesco Scacchi and Dom Prignon all those centuries ago. Any sparkling wine made the traditional way will indicate as such on the label because the imposters legally cannot, and given the time, expense and headaches involved, those who can want credit where its due! At your next event, ask to see the bottle before you imbibe and if anyone gives you a funny look, now youve got a conversation starter for those awkward event beginnings when no one knows what to talk about. Enjoy!

BEAULIEU VINEYARD
At 112 Years Old, BV is a Napa Valley Must See
BY JOSH STEIN
BEAULIEU VINEYARD Open daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 1960 Saint Helena Highway, Rutherford CA 94573 (707) 967-5233 | www.bvwines.com BV is also part of the Heritage Wine Trail from Carneros to Calistoga. Visit www.heritagewinetrail.com for more details.
Sip, Savor and Enjoy BV Wines Responsibly. 2012 BEAULIEU VINEYARD, RUTHERFORD, CA
During a wine tasting at Beaulieu Vineyard, you will not only experience todays great wines, you will also gain an understanding of how the wine business has evolved in the past fifty years and in the fifty years before that. In 1900, Georges and Fernande de Latour visited Rutherford, which Fernande declared a beau lieu, or beautiful place. Georges founded Beaulieu Vineyard in the red dust of Rutherford to create wines as great as, or even greater than, Frances best. BV was able to stay in business during Prohibition by producing sacramental wine for San Franciscos Catholic churches. In 1938, Georges brought Andr Tchelistcheff to the BV team. Known as the Maestro, Andr was arguably the winemaker most responsible for the Napa style made so famous in the 1970s and 1980s. Among many innovations, he introduced cold fermentation for white wines, secondary malolactic fermentation via inoculation for reds and the use of small French oak barrels for aging. He also produced Napas first cult wine, the Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. Since that time, BV has continued to innovate. In 2008, a winerywithin-a-winery was created to craft the small-lot reserve bottlings. This strategy, like many others pioneered by BV, has been emulated by a number of other wineries. BV produces a wide range of wines. Besides the Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, the Reserve series offers Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and the Tapestry red blend. The BV Napa flight includes Cabernet Sauvignon and

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | ON THE COVER

Chardonnay, while the Beaulieu Vineyard Maestro Collection presents limited-production releases of Cabernet Sauvignon, Muscat Canelli, Merlot and Pinot Gris. BV Coastal Estates goes further afield to present Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir and Riesling from exceptional coastal vineyards. In addition to private tastings, the winery offers a number of tasting experiences. In the Maestro Tasting Room, named for Tchelistcheff, small-lot, handcrafted releases available only at the winery are poured. The Reserve Tasting Room, adjacent to the cellar and tanks, houses the Library Collection of wines, dating back to 1970, and pours Reserve bottlings and Georges de Latour Private Reserve. The recently opened Heritage Room, which houses a number of historically significant artifacts, pays tribute to the Prohibition era in the valley, while the Historic Tour and Barrel Tasting provides a view into production practices and the changes brought about by cellaring wines in barrel. In addition to tastings, BV hosts many events throughout the year, including barbecues, release parties, harvest events and cellar sales. Ultimately, a visit to BV provides winelovers with a sense of the past, present and future of Napa Valley wine. If you have visited BV before, visit again in the spirit of George de Latour and Andr Tchelistcheff, the winery continues to be a leader in innovation. If you have never been, you owe it to yourself to go. At Beaulieu Vineyard, the last century of the Napa Valley coexists and thrives with Napas next century of great wines. Go and enjoy you will be glad you did!

Provenance Vineyards, as the name suggests, is all about what goes on in the vineyard. Winemakers Tom Rinaldi and Chris Cooney have developed close grower relations and spend a great deal of time walking the vineyards. Their minimal intervention during winemaking ensures that each wine shows off the unique personality of its origin. The key to their success is the time and energy they put into the only thing that truly matters in wine: the land. Indeed, provenance means origin or source, and can be used to refer to the complete record of ownership that establishes an artworks authenticity beyond question. In winemaking, provenance points to a wines origins how one can trace what is in the glass directly back to the vineyard. This name was chosen for the winery because all of its releases are made from grapes that come from hallowed ground in the winemaking world. In other words, the resulting wines are works of art in the bottle because they clearly show the uniqueness of their origins. Provenances vineyards, whether they are owned directly by the winery or by some of the valleys best growers, are historic and well-known sites. Most winemakers never encounter vineyards of this quality during their careers; the winemakers at Provenance have access to several. These include the Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard, Provenance Vineyards Rutherford estate, the Three Palms Vineyard in Calistoga, the Beckstoffer Las Amigas Vineyard in Carneros, and the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, which has been producing internationally recognized, award-winning Cabernets since 1889.
24
Adjacent to the winery itself is the Hewitt Vineyard, first planted more than 130 years ago, and from which only one wine is made: the limited-release Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon. Rather than using other varietals as part of a blend, Tom Rinaldi uses the best grapes from a variety of clones in the fifty-eight-acre vineyard to achieve each years bottling. Its celebrated, enticing note of violet is a hallmark of the vineyard, not present in wines from other Rutherford locations. Tasting Provenance wines is something special. Unlike many other wineries, Provenances property evokes Old Napa the minute you move away from the highway. The red farmhouse that greets you is surrounded by vineyards and an extensive lawn, which is how 19th-century winemakers throughout the valley laid out their winery homesteads. Inside, the tasting room is bright and airy, with high ceilings and an art-gallery feel. The intimacy of the room is accented by the floor, which is made from the barrelheads and staves from 960 barrels from the winerys first vintage, and by a large window that overlooks the goings-on in the barrel room. Provenance is well known for its Cabernets and Merlots, but a number of extremely small bottlings cant be found elsewhere. These include the aforementioned Beckstoffer To Kalon Cab do not miss out! as well as library releases of small-lot Merlots and aged Cabernets, the Bordeaux-style Winemakers Reserve Blend, and the delicious Ruby Cabernet Port. We come to Napa for wines with a certain attitude, for wines that let us know they came from one exact special spot. The winemakers at Provenance Vineyards, thanks to the quality of their vineyards, produce wines that do just that. Enjoy!

ALWAYS B WISE
The wines from B Wise are balanced and terroir driven expressive, red-fruited beauties with floral aromatics, grounded with earthen minerality. Guided by the hands of winemaking powerhouse Mark Herold (of Merus fame) and Massimo Monticelli (of Silver Oak), these wines speak volumes about what Cabernet can be in this part of the world nothing short of outstanding.
High atop Moon Mountain is B Wise Vineyards, a sweeping 100-acre estate in the heart of Sonomas Cab-country. They say great wine starts in the vineyard and when you look out over the steep rows of meticulously hand-tended vines of B Wise, you start to understand why. With rock strewn, steep slopes of red volcanic soil, hot sunny days and oceancooled nights, one could easily mistake this beautiful place for Napa Valley. So it comes as little surprise that the quality and accolades for the B Wise wines are on par with those often reserved for Napa wineries. The wines from B Wise Vineyards, however, are all Sonoma. They are balanced and terroir driven expressive, red-fruited beauties with floral aromatics grounded with earthen minerality. Guided by the hands of winemaking powerhouse Mark Herold (of Merus fame) and Massimo Monticelli (of Silver Oak), these wines speak volumes about what Cabernet can be in this part of the world. Nothing short of outstanding. Owner Brion Wise, has been making wines from his mountain estate since 2002, working quietly and without compromise while perfecting his vineyards, and his craft. In July, he and his wife Ronda opened the doors to their beautiful new tasting lounge on Highway 12 in Kenwood. Tasting fees start at only $10 for a sampling of six estate wines including WISDOM, B WISE, TRIOS and BRION. As a nice treat you can straddle two Appellations in one visit with the Cabernet flight; for $15 you can taste the BRION Sonoma Estate Cabernet alongside the Monte Rosso Cabernet (from their neighbors renowned vineyard site) and the BRION Napa Valley Cabernet (sourced from the owners friends at Caldwell Vineyard in Coombsville). B Wise Vineyards makes over a dozen different red wines and one beautiful Ros. Prices range from $20 to $95 per bottle. Fans who want access to the wines can join one of their two wine clubs; the Brion Society or Wise Guys.

Affordable, Vineyard-Driven Green Releases
BY JOSH STEN
HILL WINE COMPANY
Open daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 1001 Silverado Trail South, St. Helena CA 94574 (707) 963-7000 | www.hillwinecompany.com
Is it still possible to make great Napa Valley wines without harming the land or the wallet in the process? Well, St. Helenas Hill Wine Company declares, unequivocably, yes! And theyve done so by keeping the emphasis on great grapes grown in awesome locations which are interfered with as minimally as possible to let the vineyards speak for themselves in the glass. The history of the relatively young Hill Wine Company starts with Jeff Hill, Sr., who, as a member of the US Marine Corps, moved his family around quite a bit. His son, Jeff, Jr., became involved in Future Farmers of America along the way, and that set in motion the training and experiences which would create the winery several decades later. Jeff went on to do a degree in plant science with an emphasis in plant health from Fresno State, as well as working for close to a decade in agricultural organics. His Jeff Hill Vineyard Group organically farms 650 North Coast acres in Lake, Napa and Sonoma counties, and the Hill Wine Company combines his areas of specialty together with the best lots hes grown to produce surprisingly affordable, vineyard-driven Napa Valley wines. Jeff draws on the finest grapes from nine of the Valleys sub-appellations, including multiple locations throughout the southern Valley, from Carneros and Coombsville up to Yountville and Rutherford, and in multiple hillside spots, including Howell Mountain and Atlas Peak. The first series of wines released are called The Black Dog, named for Jeffs beloved black labrador, and offers bottlings of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc. Equal to the quality of the wines, another key to success for the winery is keeping the focus on sustainable and organic practices, which extend beyond the vineyards into everything the winery does. They use recycled glass and organic labels, boxes, and corks. A percentage of every bottle sold is donated to the ASPCA, and the winery is a proud member of 1% For The Planet, which supports environmental causes. As you can tell, Hill Wine Company simply isnt like a lot of other Valley wineries. Theyve kept only their goals in mind every step of the way: affordability, growing great grapes, and releasing great wines. Go visit them up on the Trail youll be immensely glad you did. Enjoy!

CONCiERgE Q & A: What are your personal favorites?
Chris Morano
CHIEF CONCIERGE FOUNTAINGROVE INN, SANTA ROSA
Andreas Rippel
CHEF CONCIERGE FOUR SEASONS HOTEL SAN FRANCISCO Member of Les Clefs DOr USA
Juliette Christensen
CONCIERGE, ANDAZ NAPA
JC: Im not the type to say, You have to go here

its my favorite! Everyone is different, and with more than 400 wineries in Napa alone, there are enough wineries to please every palette. Personally, I have some that are varietal-specific, others because of great wine and gorgeous grounds (Newton), spectacular caves (Hall Rutherford), or fabulous food and wine pairings (Rams Gate)or all of the above (Quintessa). For a great introductory tour, I still think Mondavis Signature Tour & Tasting is one of the best in the valley! For those thirsty to learn more about wine, there are wineries that conduct blending seminars, allow barrel tasting and, during harvest, even allow guests to actively participate in punch-down. For wine blending, Conn Creek is fabulous and Joseph Phelps is very educational. For barrel tasting, I frequently recommend Alpha Omega, Fontanella, Flora Springs Winery and Del Dotto. For those who claim to have done Napa, sometimes its often a matter of looking beyond Hwy 29 or the Silverado Trail. I love some of the smaller wineries in Coombsville, but am also a big fan of mountain Cabs, and have sent many guests up-valley to Spring Mountain and Howell Mountain. Youd be surprised how many wineries are still not really on the map but have much to offer to the most discerning critics. In Coombsville, I love Tournesol, Palmaz and Caldwell. On Howell Mountain, I love OShaugnessy, Viader and Cade. On Spring Mountain, I love Barnett, Vineyard 7 & 8 and Spring Mountain Winery. One of the most gratifying aspects of my job is when guests come back to tell me how amazing their day was!
CM: The perfect day is different for each guest,

so as a former San Francisco Chief Concierge who moved here for the wine and stayed for the river and the trees I continually seek the mostmemorable mix Sonoma County has to offer. Begin your day with the popular, hearty breakfast buffet at the Fountaingrove Inn, and then head to Goat Rock State Beach. This State Park is located where the fresh water Russian River meets the salty Pacific, and a brisk-morning visit to this microcosm of life is a must-do. Then, head east to Guerneville for a leisurely stroll through the magnificent giants that encompass Armstrong Woods State Park, an ancient grove of Coastal Redwoods; this is a do-not-miss multisensory experience. Both parks can be enjoyed throughout the year, even in winter! Now, on to Korbel for a fabulous tour and tasting; dont forget to visit their Marketplace, where youll create a picnic delight youll enjoy later! Of course, I base my winery suggestions on varietals sought by my guests, but always recommend a drive to the vintners of scenic Dry Creek and Russian River Appellations. Among my personal favorites are Bella Vineyards (great reds, rustic cave tour, winery artifacts from around the world), Amista (pet-friendly, worldclass wines); VML Winery (gold medal-winning Pinot), Lambert Bridge (enjoy your picnic lunch amid their beautiful gardens with a glass of their finest!) and the casual Kokomo Winery (to-die for Zin and MOST gracious hospitality!). Afterward, enjoy late-afternoon one-of-a-kind shopping in the Victorian town of Healdsburg; end your day with a delicious dinner at our restaurant, Equus, or at the Michelin-rated, small plates gem Willis Wine Bar.
WCtW: If you were to visit just one winery,

which would you choose and why?
AR: Quintessa. Perfect experience with a private

tour and tasting with your own guide, beautiful grounds, architecture and, of course, amazing wine. WCtW: Describe what you would call the perfect day in wine country. AR: Grabbing a quick delightful pastry and coffee at Bouchon Bakery in Yountville for breakfast, then going to one of the many wineries for a tour and tasting, preferably one of the wineries who offer tours and tasting by appointments only (Quintessa, Shafer, Far Niente, Cakebread or Nickel & Nickel). For lunch I would organize a tour and tasting with a winery who offers lunch possibilities (Tamber Bay or Gamble). In the afternoon one more tasting only Duckhorn or Schramsberg for some Champagne tasting. When wineries are closing I would go for a mud bath treatment in Calistoga and then be ready for a nice dinner in of the many amazing restaurants in the Napa Valley area (Mustards, Redd, Bouchon, The Restaurant at the Auberge du Soleil, Solbar, Farmstead, Bottega or for a very special evening and a lot of good luck to secure a reservation at the French Laundry or The Restaurant at Meadowood Resort). WCtW: What areas and/or wineries would you recommend that are not part of the popular wine country? AR: Anderson Valley with Goldeneye ( for a perfect setting and really good Pinot Noirs) and Navarro Winery, Scharffenberger and Roederer Estate for some bubbly.
Remember: Please sip responsibly! Plan to taste at no more than three wineries based on these recommendations.

Charles Krug Estate Winery
BY JOSH STEIN
CHARLES KRUG WINERY 2800 Main Street, St. Helena CA 94574 (707) 967-2200 | www.charleskrug.com Open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Current release tasting is $15 per person, Reserve and Limited Release tasting is $25 per person. With redevelopment ongoing at the winery, tours are currently unavailable.
Charles Krug Estate Winery has been known for innovation for a century and a half, and its newest winemaking team member, Winemaker Stacy Clark, fits right into a winery intent on continuing the evolvution of creating great wines. Clark says, Theres this amazing legacy of the past but theres also a focus on the future to raise the profile of the winery even more. Named for the twenty-seven-year-old Prussian who founded it in 1861, Charles Krug, the man, was an innovator many times over: he opened the first tasting room in California in 1882. He introduced the cider press to winemaking, making it considerably easier to press wines and separate liquids from solids. A true pathbreaker, he made careful study and selection of rootstock, varieties and vineyard locations. Over time, however, the winery fell into other hands and was eventually far worse for wear which is where the Peter Mondavi family came into the picture during World War II, when it was purchased by family patriarch Cesare Mondavi. Peter took over as President in 1976, and his efforts have resulted in enological, viticultural and marketing revolutions, which include the vintage-dating of varietal wines; cold fermentations of white wines; cold sterile filtration of wines; leading the planting of Carneros to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varieties; conducting fermentations in small French oak barrels; producing the first winery newsletter, Bottles & Bins, in 1949; and creating the annual Tastings on the Lawn concert series in 1951, the first wine industry tasting events for the general public. For these successes and more, Peter was justly named by the Napa Valley Vintners Association as one of its twelve Living Legends in 1999, and for those efforts, Governor Jerry Brown proclaimed September 10th, 2011 as Charles Krug Winery Day. He was also admitted into the Vintners Hall of Fame this past year, in recognition of his and the winerys work for the industry. Change in the name of better wines continues to this day with the next generation of Mondavis leading the way. Peters sons, Marc and Peter, Jr., have just completed a nine-year, $22-million initiative to replant more than four hundred acres of estate property and upgrade the winery to twenty-first-century equipment, including solar power. Those upgrades in combination with Stacy Clarks vision are already producing distinction: the current releases have received a slew of 90+ scores and Gold, Double Gold and Best of Class awards. Produced from eleven vineyards and encompassing four AVAs Carneros, Howell Mountain, St. Helena, Yountville across 850 acres, the wines are clearly amongst the best the Valley has produced. Balance and structure in the name of wines for the dining room table are always the goal, says Stacy Clark: There are always new challenges, so the process of making wine is always vibrant and

inspiring. Considering Charles Krugs venerable history, outstanding reputation and impressive family portfolio of prime Napa Valley estate vineyards to work from, I am very excited to be part of the team. After a quarter-century of her own at Pine Ridge, consulting, and making her own wines, Clark has been brought in to continue the winerys evolution, putting even more attention into precision production processes. Clark champions cellar practices such as cluster and berry sorting and cold soaking among many others, all of which allow the production of high quality, expressive wines with a sense of place. Charles Krug Winery is essentially a winerywithin-a-winery, allowing Clark to closely monitor the terroir-based premium wines that are produced. And that really is what todays and tomorrows Charles Krug Estate Winery is all about. The family doesnt want to forget its past, celebrates it in fact, but it also seeks to move ahead to new ways of growing and making even better wines with the addition of veteran winemaking talent. The change in name to Charles Krug-Peter Mondavi Sr. Family Estate several years ago was meant to signal that they intend to continue to conserve Napas past while creating new chapters in that history. Go taste for yourself and see why winelovers have been coming to this estate for more than 150 years. Enjoy!

Perfect Pairs
Chef Cindy Pawlcyn has partnered with Mumm Napa to create fresh new festive recipes that will make every celebration worth toasting! Of course we never need a special occasion for sparkling wine but Mumm Napa has just released the latest vintage of their flagship cuve, the 2006 DVX just in time for the holidays. Chef Cindy Pawlcyn is a pioneer in wine country cuisine and with her three different restaurants in Napa she continues to create innovative dishes using local and sustainable meats and produce. Her wine lists are just as impressive and showcase the many sides of Napa Valley. Sparkling wine is such a great way to start a holiday party. Its an ice breaker and shows your guests that you have taken the time to find that perfect accompaniment to the meal. This wine opens with warm biscuity notes laced with cherry and red delicious apples followed by scrumptious flavors of Bosc pear, fig and baked apples. The 2006 DVX paired with these delicate morel mushroom and goat cheese toasts is an ideal match. These bite size starters are delicious and make a beautiful presentation. The earthiness and warmth of the mushrooms complement the crisp apple notes in the wine. Since this dish is quick to prepare, you can get out of the kitchen and have more time to enjoy your guests and those spiraling bubbles that make sparkling wine a perfect holiday aperitif.

Morel Mushroom and Goat Cheese Toasts

From Mustards Grill Napa Valley Cookbook by Cindy Pawlcyn Serves 6
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 4 teaspoons butter 2 shallots, thinly sliced into rounds 4 cups fresh morel mushrooms, quartered lengthwise and carefully cleaned Salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme 1/4 cup Calvados, Madeira or Cognac 1/4 pound fresh goat cheese 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream or half-and-half 6 slices rustic country bread, each 1/3-inch thick 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Heat the olive oil and 2 teaspoons of the butter in a saut pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes, until they begin to caramelize. Add the morels and saut, stirring occasionally for 8 to 10 minutes, until tender. Sprinkle to taste with salt and pepper. When the mushrooms start to caramelize and give off their juices, add the thyme and saut for 1 minute more. Then stir in the Calvados and the remaining 2 teaspoons butter and keep warm over low heat until you are ready to serve. In a bowl, mix the goat cheese together with the whipping cream to make it spreadable. Toast or grill the bread, smear each slice with a nice layer of the creamy goat cheese and place on serving plates. Pour the mushroom sauce over, sprinkle with parsley and serve at once.
Morel mushrooms are smallish, look like cone-shaped sponges, and have honeycomblike caps that suck up sauces and pan juices wonderfully. They are fairly plentiful in spring, at least in certain areas, such as the Midwest and parts of the Northwest. Always buy dry, clean-looking morels, and when you get them home, look for hidden insects and shake out any forest debris. Do not wash them, however. If you cant find morels, you can use other wild mushrooms porcini in the fall and chanterelles later in the year or if all else fails, purchase a nice combination of cultivated mushrooms, such as button mushrooms, shiitakes, and portobellos, from the market. A combination of dried and fresh mushrooms also works well. Figure on one-eighth to one-fourth the weight of the fresh mushrooms when computing the amount of dried mushrooms.

tAStiNg ROOM OF tHE WEEK | WiNE COuNtRY tHiS WEEK
JESSup CELLARS
Its All about the experience
BY CHARLES NEAVE
JESSUP CELLARS Open daily 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (the last seated tasting at 5 p.m.) Reservations in advance are needed for seated tastings. 6740 Washington Street, Yountville www.jessupcellars.com | 1-888-537-7879 | (707) 944-8523
From the time you enter the stone-faced structure, past the outdoor fireplace and the native plants that adorn the front, Jessup Cellars tasting room is a wonderful experience. The wines are excellent, the people are friendly (while also being efficient and knowledgeable about their wines, art and hospitality in general). But there are some things you will find when you visit that set Jessup apart from the rest. As any staff member will proudly proclaim if asked, Jessup is all about the experience. Walk-in visitors are welcomed at the tasting bar, but for those seeking a more intimate occasion, the byappointment semi-private tastings are the way to best enjoy the tasting room and staff. Taking place within Jessups art gallery, visitors get to enjoy a range of wines available only from the winery in a relaxed, no attitude environment. In fact, if you ask the right people around the Valley, youll hear the same response: its the staff at Jessup, their willingness to answer any question, their joy at getting to share what they love about the wines, which really makes the distinction. Five wines are offered for tasting, such as a Napa Valley Chardonnay (they are temporarily out of the delicious Sauvignon Blanc), a Napa Valley Zinfandel, a local Petite Sirah and a Cabernet Sauvignon produced using Napa Valley fruit. At the end of the tasting, theyll pour what they call their Table for Four a classic blend of red varietals. Here, they take the business of wine tasting seriously, using first-rate glassware from beginning to end. Jessup Cellars also makes a Merlot and two ports, one from Cabernet and the other from Zinfandel grapes. Every one of these limited-edition, hand-crafted bottlings are afforded equal amounts of care, attention, nurturing and concern, from vineyard to crush to aging and then on to the bottle. It is fair to say perhaps even an understatement to consider a visit to this charming tasting room with its fine wines, gracious wine country hospitality, collection of art, handsome dcor and casual feel is a true treat for all of the senses. To be able to sit, sample their exceptional wines along with a bit of food in such a setting, where you learn in such a way that it feels as if you are simply absorbing knowledge instead of just being taught, is wonderful way to spend an hour or so here in a small town that is a beacon to wine lovers and gourmets from around the globe. And, it certainly warrants planning ahead and making that slight turn off of busy Highway 29 to experience it all for yourself.

Judds Hill 7th Annual Hanukkah Hootenanny

BY ALEXANDRA CHARSLEY
Its holiday season in wine country and Judds Hill Winery puts on a spectacular event every year. Join them for their Seventh Annual Hanukkah Hootenanny on Sunday, December 9th from noon to 2:30 p.m. at the winery. This event is a benefit for Napa Childrens Health Initiative (www.napachi.org) and will also serve as the pickup party for the Wine Clubs December shipment. Come sip current vintages and library wines while enjoying their extravagant and enhanced latke bar. Satisfy your sweet tooth with traditional jelly donuts as you revel in the fine company and grand entertainment that are the hallmarks of a lively Judds Hill event! The event will feature the local band Messugah Beach Party. This group brings together many favorite Jewish melodies with the fun, retrocool sounds of surf music. They are a true fit for Judds Hill Winery as they put on an exciting, high energy live show with a little surf shtick! The band dresses like rabbis and has choreographed dance moves. They feature guitars, piano, organ, bass and drums and the occasional holler for good measure! In 2010, the band were competitors in the Portland semi-finals of Americas Got Talent and in 2011, they recorded an original song with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Duane Eddy.

That and he is just a downright nice guy, always willing to explain what he is doing, what is going on in the winery, and at what stage of the winemaking process the deLorimier wines can be found.

The passion, intelligence and experience that Roberto has demonstrated over the years allows deLorimier to repeatedly have been recognized as one of the greatest wineries in Sonoma County.

WiNEMAKER pROFiLE:
BRANdON LApidES
Armida Winerys intuitive winemaker
BY DENISE OLLIFFE
Having just completed a third harvest as winemaker at Armida Winery, Brandon Lapides has a lot to smile about. His first harvest for Armida was in 2010 and most of that vintage has already sold out a good problem for any winery to have. He sat down to speak with me about Armida wines, his winemaking style, and their latest awardwinning 2011 Russian River Valley Chardonnay.
Fermenting an education
While deciding on a college major, the Fermentation Science program at University of California, Davis, caught Brandons eye. He had envisioned himself working in Silicon Valley, where he ultimately thought he was headed, however didnt want to be stuck in a cubicle. He saw fermentation as a hands-on science, and that appealed to him. Clearly he chose the right path. He took the fall quarter off from his studies in 2003, to experience his first grape harvest as an intern at Testarossa Vineyards in Los Gatos, Calif. It was at Testarossa where Brandon experienced the laborious task of wine production for the first time under the tutelage of their patient young winemaker. He recalls being in the best physical shape of his life after that harvest. After graduation, Brandon went to New Zealand and worked harvest at Brancott Winery in Malborough for three months, making Sauvignon Blanc one of his favorite varietals to this day.
Winemaking style
Of his winemaking style Brandon says, My key to winemaking is variation. I dont feel there should be a recipe every year. I like trying new things, even if its on a whim. Now that Ive gone through 11 harvests, Ive seen the good and the bad, and based on that, I use my intuition. He takes great pride in production side of winemaking, taking part in every aspect. He explains that there is an art to setting up hoses and pumps, and making sure that every process runs smoothly in the cellar and says, Production is a big part of how good wines are made. Actually working in the cellar is something you cant always do at a bigger winery. He uses only commercial yeast in his wines. Not a fan of natural yeast, he says, Im not big into unfiltered, chunky kinds of wines that start evolving in the bottle. Im not big on surprises I like controlled chaos.
ARMIDA WINERY Open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily 2201 Westside Road, Healdsburg, CA 95448 (707) 433-2222 | www.armida.com Be sure to stop by on Barrel Tasting Weekend, March 1 through March 10, 2013 according to Brandon, they know how to throw a good party.
Striking gold
Armida recently won Double Gold and Best of Class at the 2012 Sonoma County Harvest Fair for their 2011 Russian River Valley Chardonnay. When asked what made this particular Chardonnay stand out, he says, In the late 90s and early 2000s, the style was to use a huge amount of oak on the Chardonnays. Now the pendulum is starting to
52

Continued
swing back to the fruit, acids and less of the oak. Brandon also notes, We used various techniques for making a high-end Chardonnay. The redeeming quality ends up being the acid and the fruit, as well as the price, a nod to the affordable $25 price tag ($18.75 for wine club members).
Brandons favorite Armida wines

Sauvignon Blanc has long been a favorite of Brandons, dating back to his college days and his brief harvest stint in New Zealand. For Armida, he tries to emulate the appealing aspects of a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Its a very crisp, acidic wine, ideal for pairing with a wide variety of foods. Its an easy wine to enjoy, without a lot of pretense. One of his favorite reds is Armidas Maple Vineyards Tinas Block Zinfandel, made from grapes grown on Tinas Block of Maple
Vineyards (a distinctive century-old vineyard in the Dry Creek Valley). The grapes are a unique field blend of 10 varietals of centennial vines (Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Carignane, Mission, Cincault, Grenache and even a few unidentified black grapes). It makes for an eclectic wine that Brandon finds exciting to experiment with. The popular wine is currently sold out however dont drop your glass a 2011 vintage is being bottled in January. Brandon also takes pride in Il Campo, Armidas estate wine. Its also a field blend, derived from Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Carignane grown on the Armida Winery estate. Brandon describes the making of the wine as a fun, community, old-world-style process. From the harvesting to the fermentation and bottling, Il Campo embodies farm-to-table living. Brandon is living the American dream feeling fortunate for his success, doing something hes passionate about.

LEDSON WINERY & VINEYARDS Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 7335 Highway 12, Kenwood CA 95409 (707) 537-3810 | www.ledson.com
Ledson Winery & Vineyards is a one-of-a-kind experience, emerging right out of a fairytale. The Normandy Castle is a 16,000-square-feet estate where storybook dreams come true for wine lovers around the world. Nestled in the beautiful Sonoma Valley, off of Highway 12 in Kenwood, Ledson Winery, owned by Steve Ledson, is a wine utopia, producing more than 80 different wines, sold exclusively at the winery, the Ledson Hotel in Sonoma or in the online store. As you step into the opulent Castle, an impressive European stairwell beckons you upstairs to a number of private tasting suites where you can sample a vast selection of their award winning wines. There are multiple wine bars (upstairs and down), providing ample room to visit with friends while learning about wine by a trained and friendly staff. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with fires burning in corner fireplaces, flowers adorning the rooms, and vintage photos of Steve Ledsons family lining the walls. Steve Ledson wants everyone who steps foot through his doors to be treated as if they were family, coming home to relax over a delicious glass of wine. With so many wines to try, the Ledson staff encourages you to sample the 2008 Sonoma Valley Ancient Vine Zinfandel Reserve which won the Gold Medal 2012 Zin Challenge. You will be in Zin-heaven with this dark beautiful wine, produced from their oldest estate vineyard. The Ancient Vine vintage has a nose of blackberries and a touch of vanilla. The fruit layers linger through its long and rich finish with a dose of chocolate to top it off. For white wine lovers, they recommend the 2010 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc which has earned two accolades, the Best of Class and Double Gold 2012 American Fine Wine Competition and the 93 Points Gold Medal 2012 World Wine Championships. This impeccable white wine holds aromas of green apple, herbs and passion fruit, carrying a soft fruit parade through the finish. Ledson Winery offers a public and private tasting room experience. For those just dropping in, there are three tasting options, you can sample six wines for $15, nine wines for $20 or taste wine consultant picks for $25. Tasting fees are waived for wine club members and one guest. Private tasting experiences are $35, conducted by knowledgeable wine consultants personally trained and mentored by Steve Ledson. Your wine tasting will take place in one of six private suites, outside on the veranda overlooking the vineyard, or in the Oak Grove. Expect to feel pampered!

Winemaker Michael Cox Marks 25th Harvest in California at Schug Carneros Estate Winery
2012 marks the 25th year that winemaker Michael Mike Cox has worked crush in California. Mike joined the winery in 1995 after working in both the Dry Creek and Napa Valleys and has spent 18 years as winemaker at Schug Carneros Estate. Prior to that he worked at Hacienda Wine Cellars in Sonoma Valley while working towards his degree in Enology. In 2012 Mike was named Winemaker of the Fair at the North of the Gate Wine Competition. It is rare for a winery to have the same winemaker for such a long duration and Schug is proud to start their second generation with a winemaker who is more like family than an employee. According to Mike, the most valuable lesson learned in all his years working side by side with Walter Schug has been Patience, and letting Mother Nature work for you. The simple fact is that you just need to remain steady and focused, and not overreact. At Schug, Mike manages all vineyard resources and grower relations which he has built and grown for the last 18 years. This leads to consistency in the wines, a hallmark of Schug Carneros Estate Winery. Born and raised in the city of Sonoma, Mike has always been fascinated by wine and the Sonoma Valley itself. After only a single year at UCLA studying chemical engineering, Mike decided to shift gears and pursue a career in the wine industry. Having spent the summer working in vineyards and deep in the cellar, he made the move to UC Davis to pursue his degree in winemaking. Being able to live and work in the region that he had grown up in was the driving factor in deciding his career. With a passion for science and a love of nature and the outdoors, Mike knew he had found his calling. Since the beginning, Mike has worked in every nook and cranny of the cellar and has learned every job there. While his favorite task is sampling and assessing wine barrel by barrel, Mikes real strength is in the logistics of winemaking. Keeping all the pieces moving through the winery, from grape to bottle, is an amazingly complex process. The fact that we can do so much at Schug with so little is a point of pride, explains Mike. Today, with a strong crew by his side he spends most of his days thinking about the strategic future of the winery and vineyards, working on blends and getting out on the road to spread the Schug Carneros Estate Gospel. Surrounded by estate vineyards, Schug Carneros Estate Winery lies sheltered on a hillside five miles south of the historic city of Sonoma. The winery boasts sweeping views of the Carneros Region and Sonoma Valley, and is located just north of the San Francisco Bay. For more information, visitwww.schugwinery.com.

MAYO RESERVE ROOM

Harvest/Holiday Wine & Food Pairing Menu
BY ALEXANDRA CHARSLEY
MAYO FAMILY RESERVE ROOM Open Thursday through Monday from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Final seating at 4:45 p.m; the cost is $35 Reservations are recommended especially for their weekend hours (707) 833-5504 | www.mayofamilywinery.com
As the leaves fall and cool breezes set in, the Mayo Family Reserve Room heats up! Executive Chef Clayton Lewis has just released his new Harvest/Holiday menu and it is one that shouldnt be missed. His impressive style, attention to detail and perfect pairings make for a spectacular afternoon. With every new menu he is able to showcase the rich beauty of the Mayo Family Reserve Wines. Come for the food, sip some wine and enjoy your seven course seated tasting. The first trio of pairings starts with two white wines and one red and really defines the autumn season. 2010 Pinot Gris Courtneys Cuvee is paired with an heirloom carrot and feta salad with arugula vinaigrette. The flavor in the carrots provides a solid base for this crisp wine while the spice in the vinaigrette softens the citrus notes. Next up is the 2009 Reserve Chardonnay, Laurel Hill Vineyard paired with butter poached halibut cheek, grilled pumpkin and green apple and Meyer lemon gelee. This wine is so buttery and lively and the tartness in the gelee rounds out the oak found in the wine while the pumpkin provides earthiness and depth. The final pairing in this first set is the 2007 Reserve Merlot, Merediths Cuvee, Los Chamizal Vineyards paired with a sort of saganaki as Chef Clayton calls it. This golden tomato cake is layered with a light, delicate shrimp mousse and is set on a silky layer of caper emulsion which provides subtle salt and acidity to complement the blueberry and chocolate notes found in the wine. The second trio of pairings brings us into the holiday season with intense flavors and bolder wines. 2007 Reserve Meritage, Olivers Twist, Napa Valley is paired with a shoulder of lamb and autumn vegetables. This wine is full bodied and complex and marries brilliantly with the braised lamb. The fifth course is the 2OO7 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Random Ridge Vineyards paired with grilled New York strip with Romano beans and sweet peppers with a shitake demi-glace. The vanilla notes in the wine highlight the shitake mushrooms and sweet peppers and the tenderness of the Romano beans added a nice textural component to the dish. The last pairing in this trio is the 2009 Reserve Zinfandel, Ricci Vineyards, Russian River Valley with an achiote rabbit rillette. The achiote spice brought out the peppery and jammy notes in the Zinfandel and was the perfect finish to the savory pairings. Lastly, you have to end on a sweet note and the final seventh course was a 2OO9 Late Harvest Gewurztraminer, Kunde Ranch Vineyard, Sonoma Valley paired with an orange cinnamon roll. Chef Clayton used the sugar in the wine to make it perfect for holiday brunch. The cinnamon roll topped with orange marmalade was not particularly sweet so this wine was a perfect match. This Harvest/Holiday Tasting Menu will be available through the end of the year.

2012 Winegrape Harvest Slated To Be a Best in Years

Winemakers Announce that Quality of Winegrapes this Year is Very High; tonnage Harvested is 20 to 25 percent Above Average
As grape growers harvest this seasons grape crop, dozens of Mendocino County wine leaders agree that the 2012 season is shaping up to be one of the best on record. A lack of rain late in the season, combined with warm days, cool nights and an ideal growing season have produced bountiful crops throughout this Northern California wine region. Known as the Greenest Wine Region in North America, Mendocino County is home to 91 bonded wineries and 343 vineyard entities. It is a perfect season, said Martha Barra, owner of Barra of Mendocino/Girasole Vineyards in Redwood Valley, Mendocino County. For us, brix, total acids and pH are all in balance. So often we have to really push things, but this year we have had no late rains. We were able to wait for perfect maturity, and winemakers in our region are really excited about making some incredible wines this year. Barras 100% estate grown, hand-picked certified organic grapes include the legendarily delicate and sought after Pinot Noir. Barra noted that they will have their entire harvest from their vineyards complete by October 20th. In technical terms, winemakers use the term brix to measure the sugar content, and Barra is seeing measurements of 25 and above this season. It is such an even keeled season, said Zac Robinson, Husch Vineyards in Philo. This year its what we call a growers harvest. Were seeing super clean fruit, higher yields, no heat spikes, no rains and no surprises. We also operate a custom crush facility for growers throughout Mendocino, Napa and Sonoma Counties, said Barra.We are seeing the Zinfandel coming in late from all regions, but, in Mendocino County, picking of all other varietals is falling right in line with their usual maturity pattern. Expansive, diverse and off the beaten path, Mendocino is a rural county of striking natural beauty, friendly small towns and people who love and protect the land. Many farms are owned and cultivated by multiple generations of the countys historic farming families. Today Mendocinos grapegrowers stand out as leaders in sustainable/organic/Biodynamic farming. Winemakers highly regard the quality of fruit produced naturally on unspoiled land by Mendocinos passionate grapegrowers.
