i n t e l l i g e n c e f o r t h e W i n e c o n S U M e r
by Len Napolitano
How do I build a wine storage room?
For many casual wine drinkers, the wine collecting bug hits sooner than
expected and suddenly they find themselves storing wine bottles in more
than one location. It starts with a small wine rack in the kitchen, then grows
to fill the bottom of a hall closet, or two, and spreads to various cool, dark
corners of the household. When wine bottles take over the living room it’s
time to think about a wine storage room.
If you buy wine by the case rather than bottle, one option is to rent space
in a temperature-controlled self-storage center. These are especially popular
in residential areas with a large number of apartment buildings and homes
without basements. But this choice requires a monthly fee and the hassle of
not having the bottles quickly and easily at hand.
Personal refrigerated units designed for wine-keeping at home have
become more sophisticated and attractive. These look like miniature refrigerators
and are made small enough to fit under a kitchen counter or large
enough to walk inside. Many come with sliding shelves, variable temperature
controls, lights, digital displays and other convenience options.
If you have the space, consider building a dedicated wine room in your
home. This is a project that has relatively high initial cost but can provide
long-term savings and undeniable convenience compared to self-storage. In
some cases, a wine storage room may work best in conjunction with a separate
under-counter refrigerated unit in the kitchen. With this approach, you
can keep wines for long-term aging in the room and the “everyday” wines
in the kitchen unit.
The keys to designing and building a good wine storage room are low
light, a steady, and restricted temperature range (55-60 degrees) and
humidity (65-75%) range, and the absence of vibrations. All of these
requirements create the ideal conditions for proper aging of the wine. Too
cold, or too warm, the wine ages too slowly or too quickly, respectively, and
therefore imperfectly. Too dry, and cork shrinkage allows air inside the
bottle, which spoils the wine. Finally, vibrations will disturb the molecular
structure of the wines and accelerate the production of sediment.
When building the room, all sides, floor and ceiling must be well insulated,
the entry door of exterior grade and a wine-room cooling unit built
into a wall. A normal air conditioner will not do the job because it is
designed to remove moisture from the air. There are many brands of cooling
units available and with some research on the Internet you should be able
to find the right unit at the right price sized for your storage room.
Len Napolitano lives in San Luis Obispo County and is certified in wine by the Society of Wine Educators,
Wine & Spirits Education Trust and Chicago Wine School and continually gains knowledge from his frequent contact
with California winemakers. More information is on his website, www.wineology.com.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINE COUNTRY NEWS
Quality Wines All Under $25 at Wine Garage, Calistoga
The Skinny
The Wine Garage is all about the juice. It’s also about having fun –
like a kid in a candy store. The Wine Garage is, literally, a former gas
station. Todd, the wine buyer, travels far and wide to find top-shelf,
affordably priced wines. Inside, you’ll find more than 200 different
labels neatly arranged in cases on the floor and an engaging staff who
are friendly, attentive and most importantly, they know their wines.
Buzz
Despite its funky space, the Wine Garage is a wine lover’s best
friend. Reminiscent of visiting your favorite record store (yes, kids,
once upon a time, that’s where you had to buy your music), the fun is
going through all the cases and finding something you’ve never heard
of. All the wines have been test driven by the staff, so, whatever you
select, you won’t be disappointed.
Value
Ultimately, the Wine Garage is about value. It’s no secret that in
Napa Valley, it’s difficult to score a highly rated red for less than $65,
but the Wine Garage manages to do it all the time. The staff takes great
pride hunting down unusual and lesser-known, limited-production
wines and passing their haggling finesse on to us.
Ten-second summary
Nothing in this hip hideaway is more than $25 (with a few under
$15)! The Wine Garage is stocked with premium, small-lot wines that
you won’t find at BevMo, Trader Joe’s or your local wine store (plus,
they do a better job storing their wines at the correct temperature).
Best bets
In addition to all the labels the Wine Garage represents, they also
produce their own lip-smacking blends. My in-house favorites are:
2009 Joy Ride White, 2008 Russian River Syrah, 2007 Napa Valley
Cabernet, 2008 Chihuahua Cabernet and 2006 Hillside Cabernet.
Under-the-radar
Go old-school with half-gallon jugs filled while you wait using
their specifically designed service station nozzles. Not only are the
wines delicious (and affordable), the jug is crazy fun conversation at
the table. It’s also a cool gift.
Secrets
For the next few weeks, receive an additional ten percent off the
already low prices when you purchase six bottles. Twenty percent on
a case. Better yet, the Wine Garage has the BEST wine club in the
valley – and they ship just about everywhere.
Insider
If you’re a serious wino, get on the inside track for ultra exclusive
deals by hooking up with the Wine Garage on Twitter and Facebook
(wine club members get first crack to cream-of-the-crop finds).
Locate
Wine Garage is located at 1020 Foothill Blvd. in Calistoga. For
more information, call (707) 942-5332 or go to WineGarage.net.

River Road Wine Trail Welcomes Spring!
Spring is undoubtedly the most breathtakingly, beautiful time of
the year to drive through the Salinas Valley and visit the wineries that
make up the River Road Wine Trail. The Wine Trail begins at Highway
68 and runs along the Santa Lucia Highlands into the Arroyo Seco
valley, ending south of Greenfield at Hobson Avenue. This 45-mile
long corridor is home to more than just vineyards. Row crop and cattle
grazing land enhance the beauty of this time of the year.
The 2011 vintage officially began bud break in March with shoots
starting to grow in lime-green splendor. The tasting rooms are located
within the vineyards and casual attire is recommended. You won’t see
any stuffy dress by the winemakers and hosts along the River Road
Wine Trail.
Thirteen Tasting Rooms comprise the River Road Wine Trail Association,
which include Boekenoogen, Scheid, Hahn, Pessagno, Wrath,
Sycamore Cellars, Ventana, Manzoni, Marilyn Remark, Reggie
Hammond Wines, Ray Franscioni Wines, Paraiso and McIntyre. Each
member specializes in different varietals and stylistic approaches to
winegrowing. For instance, Marilyn Remark focuses on Rhône varieties,
while Pessagno and Manzoni focus on cool-climate Chardonnay
and Pinot Noirs.
The River Road Wine Trail vintners invite you to taste their recent
releases and join them for one of their special events. The Wine Trail
hosts various themed events throughout the year. Details are posted

FEATURE STORY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
CHARLES KRUG WINERY
A Talk with Peter Mondavi, Jr., proprietor of Charles Krug Winery
WCTW: You’ve started a new tasting program in the
historic barrel cellar. What should people expect to get
out of that?
by Charles Neave
Sometimes the tales and stories of the Napa
Valley, and its unique history, seem to play
almost as important role in this rich land as
the volcanic mountain in St. Helena, the land
along San Pablo Bay and the palisades north of
Calistoga.
The year was1861 when pioneering American
winemaker Charles Krug established the
first winery in the Napa Valley, and this year
marks the winery’s 150th Anniversary. Just a
year later, in 1862 he opened the doors to the
first tasting room in the Golden State.
Fast forward almost a century. That was
when the iconic Peter Mondavi family
purchased the winery in 1943 and to this day
they have strived – and succeeded – in
preserving its traditions and historic buildings
for the four generations of their stewardship,
while also introducing state-of-the-art winemaking
techniques and technology to the
label. The winery also uses sustainable
farming methods in the vineyards, part of a
commitment to the land.
The Family Reserve label is the hallmark of
wines produced from grapes harvested from
specific vineyard blocks in the winery’s prime
vineyards. The reserve Generations is a tribute
to the generations of winemaking by the Peter
Mondavi Family; Vintage Selection Cabernet
Sauvignon is their Flagship Cabernet.
Sourcing grapes from 850 acres of estate land,
they make some of Napa Valley’s most popular
wines.
PM: It’s a much more in-depth and informative experience
about the wines. You’re in this historic 1874 building, and that
makes it the perfect place to talk about not just the wines being
poured, but about the history. We take our latest releases and
sample them in an environment that was originally built for
that purpose. You’re in the room where wine is aging in oak
barrels, and you’re trying wine that came from those barrels.
WCTW: How often do professionals at the winery do
barrel tastings?
PM: It really depends on the life cycle of the wine, but more often in the earlier stages, then after the
second racking, when lots can go wrong. So towards the end we do more tastings to see if it should
stay in oak a bit longer, plus there are many more important considerations that we have to take
into account. It’s obviously an ongoing process.
WCTW: Who do you expect to attend these special, reservation-only tastings. I know that
the number of guests at each tasting is limit, and you often are the one to lead people
through the process?
PM: Wine club members are a part of this, but anyone with an interest in wine is welcome. Since it’s
limited to about eight people it’s an intimate experience. We have fruit and cheese at each place at
the table as well, because I think food and wine are an important part of the equation. But mainly it
is for people that simply want to learn more about wine. We encourage questions during the 90
minute tasting (which are held two days a week, but call for a schedule). What better way to learn?
WCTW: Lastly, what wines do you typically sample?
PM: We start off outdoors with the current Sauvignon Blanc, then we go inside and try an assortment
and vintage red wines, perhaps five of them, or six, many of them limited releases. Our barrel
samples vary, since at times we haven’t finished the blend. But if you can’t make it to one of these
samplings, I’m encouraging everyone to make sure they get tickets for our annual Tastings on the
Lawn on September 10th. Since this one marks a real milestone, we’re pulling out all the stops. Plus
it’s a great way to spend a Saturday in Wine Country.
Their Limited Release selections are
produced in small lots from 100 to 500 cases
and harvested from the finest clonal selections
of Cabernet Sauvignon and additional
blending varieties; they’re available only
through the tasting room and online at
charleskrug.com.
The varietals they work with to craft their
wines include the Vintage Selection Cabernet
Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay,
Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon.
They also offer a rich and rare Zinfandel
Port. Their fabled Flagship Cabernet has been
produced at the winery since 1944.
The historic Redwood Cellar, built in
1882, is across from the expansive and shaded
20 www.WineCountryThisWeek.com

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINERY FEATURE
picnic area. Behind the cellar lies
the Carriage House built for
Krug’s wife to house her horses,
and the sprawling Great Lawn.
The original cider press is on
display and the property is
bisected by train tracks that recall
an era when Napa Valley fruit was
shipped east to home winemakers
during Prohibition.
The tasting bars inside are
made from the same redwood
that the Peter Mondavi family
used to make redwood tanks for
fermentation in the Redwood
Cellar after their purchase of the
property. One of those enormous
tanks, and an original glass
transfer tube, remain in the newly
restored barrel room. In many
ways that sums up the Charles
Krug experience: history, family
and well-crafted wines.
The Charles Krug Winery
tasting room is open daily 10:30
a.m. to 5 p.m. It is located at 2800
Main Street (Route 29) just north
of St. Helena across from the Culinary
Institute of America. For
more information, call 1-800-
237-0033, visit the website at
www.charleskrug.com, or you
can follow them on Facebook.
SPECIAL NOTE
Join the Peter Mondavi Family
for the 150th Anniversary Celebration
at the 60th Annual Tastings
on the Lawn on September
10, 2011. Year after year it is one
of the most popular and anticipated
events in Wine Country.
Call or visit online to purchase

Pretty in Pink – The Pink Mansion
by Sue Straight, The Wine Wench
The Pink Mansion is a Victorian mansion
turned into a bed-and-breakfast-inn located
within walking distance to the charming,
wine-infused hamlet of Calistoga. It sits back
from Highway 29, the main drag that runs
from Calistoga, all the way down the famous
Napa Valley, to Napa proper, and beyond.
Two potted palms sit sentry at the front
entrance on the road. You pass through the
front entry, go up a few stairs and find yourself
on a mossy brick pathway that meanders its
way through the front yard (complete with a
bamboo shaded koi pond) to the front steps of
the Victorian. A covered porch, painted bright
white, wraps all the way around the house,
with white wicker furniture in front that
invites you to sit a spell and enjoy a glass of
locally produced wine.
Once inside, you may just sigh with pleasure,
as I did. The first thing I noticed was the
mouthwatering aroma of the place (I’m funny
that way) – it smells like gingerbread and
yummy breakfast food, mixed with a hint of
beeswax. I also noticed the
gorgeous, historically correct
interior. In the front parlor, the
ceiling is literally a work of art,
a crystal chandelier sparkles in
the Calistoga sunshine and beautiful, wellpolished
antique furniture is everywhere.
From the front parlor, beveled glass doors
open into the dining room, where a full-on
gourmet breakfast is served daily. The dining
room also boasts a huge window, complete
with a window seat spanning its length,
offering a great view of the northern Napa
Valley.
The house was built in 1875 and much of
the original cabinetry, doorknobs and accessories
(such as the beveled glass doors) are
still in use. The hardwood floors and stairs
creak with authenticity. You can feel the
history of this place.
There are seven guest rooms (Some of the
rooms are huge deluxe suites), all tastefully
decorated in true Victorian style. Every room
has beautiful antique pieces
and cushy, cozy- looking
beds. For those who cannot
leave their technology
behind, WiFi is available
throughout the inn.
Another gracious touch is
complimentary wine and cheese, which is
offered daily from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.
Now for something you’ll really like – this
is the ONLY bed and breakfast in Napa
County with a heated indoor swimming pool!
The pool was added in 1958 and it is fantastic!
This unique inn is a wonderful place to
stay. For more information, call (707) 942-
0558, or visit www.pinkmansion.com. Bring
your bathing suits and tell them the Wine
Wench sent you!

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Prager Winery & Port Works
Three things you need to know about Prager Winery & Port Works
just south of St. Helena. To start with, it is utterly, unashamedly
charming, housed in a carriage house dating back to 1865. The second
is that it’s a family owned and operated winery with pretty much two
(or is it three now?) generations involved. And third, they make Ports
that are unique, almost addictive, and exceptionally well crafted,
something that has been true since that first harvest in 1979.
Prager patriarch Jim and his wife Imogene took a route not many
people with aspirations in making fine Napa Valley wines followed:
they decided to specialize in making Port. At the time this was hardly
a common practice, and though more wineries attempt it these days,
Prager stands alone.
They’ve been specializing in the production of various styles of
Premium California Ports. They currently offer Vintage, Tawny and the
famous Aria White Port and also a Petite Sirah Port, plus a nicely aged
Petite Sirah wine that could be aged for ten
years if you are patient (hint: buy at least two
and drink one with friends and age the rest), as
well as a Late Harvest Riesling dessert wine
called Sweet Claire that has a clean, crisp finish,
something not often found in dessert wines.
24
The winery also carries a very
popular Chocolate Port Drizzle, Port
filled boxed chocolates, caramelized walnuts and three distinct vinegars
for the discerning gourmet. Needless to say, the chocolates and
walnuts pair perfectly with Port.
Of course, you can try these offerings in their rustic tasting room
which manages to balance fun, memorable tastes and a seriousness for
what they make and what they pour in equal measure, never letting
one dominate. It is a well-rounded and unique time, as the faces on
your fellow visitors will quickly attest.
While Jim and Imogene may not be at the winery quite as often as
they once were, they still remain involved and, it would seem, as
enthusiastic as ever for the adventure that they happily and optimistically
began since that first crush over three decades ago, and the world
of wine, and the Napa Valley are all the better for it.
The Prager tasting room, where you will taste five premium Ports
and wines (and keep the glass), is open daily from 10:30 a.m. until
4:30 p.m. They are located at 1281 Lewelling Lane in St. Helena (next
to the Harvest Inn). For more information, call (707) 963-7678 or
1-800-969-7678, or go to www.pragerport.com. You can also find
them on Facebook.

with hearty spring wine and food pairings featuring wine country
brunch fair, while celebrating mom.
The event highlights and celebrates the wineries of Rutherford, in

unique wine and food pairing experience aimed to teach visitors about
Rutherford varietals, Napa Valley terroir and how the wines pair with
different, select food dishes. Sixteen wineries are slated to host guests

purchase online at www.rutherford-appellation-wineries.com and will
be available for pick-up on May 7th and 8th in Rutherford.
Proceeds from the spring Passport Weekend will be donated to a
local Napa Valley charity. Since its inception, the Rutherford Appellation
Wineries has donated more than $40,000 to local charities from
Passport Weekend ticket sales, including the Rutherford Grange, Napa
Crime Stoppers, the Rutherford River Restoration project, Queen of
the Valley Community Outreach Service and the Rutherford Volunteer
Fire Department. In 2011, the group has committed an additional
$10,000 to the Rutherford Grange, with an additional $30,000 slated
to be donated to various charities.
Rutherford Passport Weekends are semi-annual events held
the first weekends of May and December. To learn more about the
Rutherford Appellation Wineries please visit the website at
www.rutherford-appellation-wineries.com.
Rutherford Appellation Wineries was established as the direct to
consumer marketing arm of the Rutherford Dust Society (www.rutherforddust.org)
to educate the public about the significance of the
Rutherford appellation as Napa Valley’s preeminent grape-growing
area. This organization was created to promote the uniqueness of the
area and encourage visitors to experience personally the quality of the
wines produced by wineries located in this special place.

Change Things Up From Busy Wine Country
If this is one of your many visits to the wine country, you are no doubt
looking for something a little different. So why not change things up and
take the road less travelled through Suisun Valley “The Napa Back Road”.
We all no doubt have our favorites, but we are always looking to one up
our friends back home. Yes, that never ending search for something new
and refreshing, but still preserving all that made you first fall in love with
the whole “Wine Country Experience.”
If you are staying in Downtown Napa, do you realize you are just
approximately 15 to 20 minutes away from a valley that preserved what
Napa was in the 1960s? However, the wines at such places like Vezer
Family Vineyard and the Blue Victorian Winery take advantage of both the
old traditions, such as 100% hand punched down wines, along with
implementing the important new techniques learned from those great
California winemakers over the last 50 years.
This Suisun Valley has been a long-time held secret in the wine
country. In fact, many of the locals try to continue this secret, simply
because it is where they go to still experience those old feelings of days
gone by. Suisun Valley is where you can find wines that would sell for
over $150 a bottle at the popular better known tourist destinations in
Napa, for $30 to $60. These same wines have 94, 95 and 97 point rankings
and medals from the greatest national and international competitions!
Itinerary to impress your guests
Leave your hotel in Napa and arrive at Mankas Corners – a small,
country-road village in the center of the vines in Suisun Valley. This 160-
year-old Pony Express Station Stop boasts the largest pecan trees in the
world, the Vintage Café, the Vezer Family Tasting room, Italian Deli and
Gardens, outdoor dining areas, stone winery and country cottages.
Taste some of the most unique white wines such as the Portugese
Verdelho that is known as “a white wine for red wine lovers.” Taste North
Central Coast’s Best in Class 94 point Zinfandel, the only California
“double gold” at the New York International Wine Competition and one
of the top ten-ranked Petite Sirahs in the world called the “La Salette.”
After tasting and having a wonderful and refreshingly educational
conversation with one of Vezer’s very own sommaliers, order a panini,
cheese tray and hot soup from Tommie at the deli. Enjoy a bottle while
you wait to be served at your quaint little outdoor garden table.
Once you have a little food in your belly, drive a half mile down the
road to the Blue Victorian, where your tasting room manager, Joseph,
greets you at the 100-year-old Victorian manor. Once you walk into the
quaint parlor, reminiscent of an old Cape Cod sea captain’s bar, you have
just stepped back in time. After tasting some amazing Sauvignon Blanc
take a “Trio Amici Tour.” This is a tour that involves walking through the
back gardens to the old Victorian stone and timber Barrel Room with iron
works and huge timbers and travertine chandeliers hanging from the
40'-high ceilings. Once you get into the room, your personal tour guide
takes you straight to his favorite barrels and starts to serve you a blend
taken from three different barrels, made in front of your very eyes. Have
your tour guide get you to taste each phase of the blend and see how the
wine progresses to its complete blend. He explains the history of the
grapes, the barrels and the Vezer Family and Blue Victorians House styles.
Before you leave the Barrel Room, you are tempted as you walk by a
few more barrels of Ruby Port and this White Port called the Sophie. As
you taste these wonderful after dinner wines, you might hear that back in
the Mankas Gardens of Vezer’s, starting at 5 p.m. on the first and the third
Saturday of the month, there is a live concert of jazz, R&B or classic rock
music. You can actually have the Vintage Café serve you a hot outdoor
garden dinner of possibly a “Cab and Slab” (Vezer Cabernet and rib eye
steak) all while listening and dancing to some first-class music as the sun
goes down in beautiful Suisun Valley.
Come make your own dreams come true in Suisun (Sue-soon) Valley
“Napa’s Little Sister Sui.”

St. Clement Vineyards
by Sue Straight, Wine Wench
St. Clement Vineyards is conveniently
located just outside the iconic town of St.
Helena. If you love wine, or simply enjoy
checking out special places in Napa Valley, this
winery is a must-stop.
The grand old Victorian house (built in
1878), which is home to St. Clement Vineyards’
tasting room and offices, sits atop a
Cabernet Sauvignon-vine-studded knoll, well
back from St. Helena Highway. The building is
painted a peaceful tan with cream trim, which
is complimented by the surrounding hills and
landscaping. It is a bit of a hike up the hill, so
I would not recommend wearing stiletto heels
to visit.
The surrounding grounds are beautifully
landscaped, with two separate picnic areas – one of which is designated
for private al fresco tastings with the winemaker. The other
picnic area is available for general use. Both are tree-shaded and lovely.
Visitors are encouraged to bring a picnic (box lunches will soon be
available for purchase at the winery), buy some wine and kick off their
shoes and stay a while.
Inside the tastefully appointed house, there is a grand, sweeping
staircase that sits front and center, which leads to the upstairs offices.
There are tasting rooms on each side of the staircase – the main tasting
room is on the left and the tasting room on the right is used for private
tastings or spillover on particularly busy days. Underneath the staircase
is a little nook that is a mini playroom for children – there are
30
bins of toys and books and the walls are covered
with chalkboards. A selection of colored chalk is
available for the discerning artistic child. Kudos
to St. Clement for being kid-friendly!
The overall vibe at St. Clement is one of casual
elegance, without a whiff of snobbery. A tasteful
selection of non-wine gifts is artfully displayed,
along with bottles of wine of various types and
sizes. Gorgeous etched large format bottles are
available for admiration (and purchase).
Let’s talk about the wines. There is a nonrefundable
$20 tasting fee, but it is well worth
the cost to try these wines! I tasted a few wines
during my visit and was impressed with everything
I tasted. The following two wines were my
favorites:
2010 Sauvignon Blanc, Bale Lane $21: Wow!
Aromas of ripe melon, pear, citrus and a hint of
green herbs jump out of the glass and really get your attention. In the
crisp, clean mouth, the ripe fruit and green herb flavors continue to
delight your palate.
2006 Oroppas (that’s Sapporo backwards, because the Japanese
company Sapporo owned the winery for 13 years) $55: This is
St. Clement Vineyards’ signature wine and it is fabulous! Intense
aromas and flavors of black cherry, mocha, cedar and spice box
abound, all wrapped up in a decadently rich mouthfeel.
St Clement Vineyards is located at 2867 St. Helena Hwy. N, St.
Helena. Visitors are welcome from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily for tasting
and tours. For more information, call (707) 963-7221 or visit their
website at www.stclement.com.

NAPA VALLEY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Tasting Room of the Week:
Baldacci Family Vineyards
by Josh Stein
Want a range of wines in a fun, friendly
atmosphere? Looking for a unique, individual
sitdown tasting of small-lot and reserve
bottlings? Baldacci Vineyards provides both
tasting experiences – and that’s why it’s our
Tasting Room of the Week.
Stags Leap District is Cabernet Country,
and Baldacci Vineyards produces some of the
best to be had in the Valley. The winery was
founded in 1997 when Tom and Brenda
Baldacci settled on their seventeen-acre
Silverado Trail property with an eye toward
the Cabernet Sauvignon vines which would
grow on its hills and vales; in 2001, the
7,000-square-foot production cave system
was added in the hillside behind the tasting
room. The estate vineyard has since been
added to with the acquisition of a twenty-acre
Carneros vineyard in 2003, planted with the
intent of matching grape varieties to the right
location.
That desire for the viticultural best is
reflected enologically in every bottling of
Baldacci wines. Known for affordably excellent
Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignons
– there are three, the single-block Brenda’s
Vineyard, the Black Label blend of various
estate Cabernet blocks and the IV Sons,
32
which has estate Cabernet Franc blended in
to create a more rounded Cabernet expression
– Baldacci Vineyards also produces the
Ruppert Cabernet from Coombsville and a
range of Carneros wines, including the Sorelle
Chardonnay, the Elizabeth Pinot Noir and the
Frederich Gewürztraminer (all named in
honor of family members).
What makes Baldacci Family Vineyards
our Tasting Room of the Week isn’t just the
wines but the unique hospitality feature of
providing a tasting experience that accommodates
a range of wine experiences. As Hospitality
Manager Mike Knox notes, “If you are
looking to just drop by for a same-day
appointment, have a friendly time and enjoy
some great wines, then the classic tasting
at the tasting bar is for you.” You get to try
a range of Baldacci releases, including
“frequently changing” limited-production
wines likes Gewürztraminer and Syrah. As
the hospitality team likes to say, there’s always
a friendly face, an open bottle of wine and
great stories to share.
Conversely, if you are looking for something
special, a sit-down tasting tailored
specifically to your tastes, then the Cellar
Reserve Tasting is for you. The new, limited
access Cellar Reserve Tasting in the 1923
Farm House presents a rare opportunity to
enjoy reserve- and limited-production wines
in a setting that evokes a time many decades
ago before the valley was Napa Valley and
wine was simply about the best the land
could give.
This intimate discussion of and hands-on
appreciation for what goes into producing
some of the world’s finest small-production
wines is tailored to the visitors’ areas of
interest, providing a customized tasting and
tour with the Baldacci team, which gives
behind-the-scenes access to knowledge of
vineyards and winemaking, all while
sampling the best of those efforts in an environment
of timelessness. The Cellar Reserve
Tasting in the 1923 Farm House requires
advance reservations for this very rare smallgroup
experience, so make sure not to miss
your opportunity. Come see for yourself what
one family’s vision has produced along the
eastern side of the Stags Leap District!

New Release Wines from Joseph Phelps
Vineyards and Freestone Vineyards
By Stephen H. Pavy, Director of Hospitality
JOSEPH PHELPS VINEYARDS AND FREESTONE VINEYARDS
One of the most exciting aspects of working at a winery is being
able to taste the new vintages before they are released. Working for the
two wineries that are owned by the Phelps family, Joseph Phelps Vineyards
and Freestone Vineyards, I get to double my enjoyment of this
experience!
Here are the new releases from Joseph Phelps Vineyards:
2009 Sauvignon Blanc, St. Helena – Napa Valley
2009 Eisrébe, Napa Valley
2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
The 2009 Sauvignon Blanc comes from our Home Ranch in
Spring Valley. Aromas of lemon curd, white flowers, honeydew,
allspice and notes of wet stone are followed by a balanced palate with
fresh acidity and length.
The 2009 Eisrébe is made from 100% Scheurebe grown on our
Home Ranch in Spring Valley. This wine has already received 95
points from the Wine Enthusiast. It boasts delicate aromas of apricot,
citrus blossom, honey and crème caramel followed by a rich and
unctuous texture integrated with well-balanced, bright acidity and a
persistent finish.
The 2008 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 85%
Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec
from estate vineyards (83%) and independent growers (17%). This
vintage represents a milestone for our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon:
it will be the final vintage that contains fruit from independent
growers. Beginning in 2009, the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon will
be from 100% estate-grown fruit, the very same vineyards that
produce the components for Insignia, our proprietary Bordeaux-style
blend. The 2008 Cabernet reveals aromas of plum and blackberry
intertwined with graphite, forest floor, dark chocolate and curry notes.
The fruit and spice carry through on the palate adding to the multilayered
texture of this wine. Supple, integrated and age-worthy
tannins create a long, lush finish.
From our sister winery, Freestone Vineyards, located just eight
miles from the Pacific Ocean in the westernmost parts of the Sonoma
Coast, we have the following new releases:
2008 Freestone Chardonnay
2008 Pastorale Vineyard Chardonnay
2008 Pastorale Vineyard Pinot Noir
2008 Quarter Moon Vineyard Pinot Noir
The 2008 Freestone Chardonnay comes from 100% estate-grown
fruit. This wine has already received 93 points from Wine Spectator, 95
points from the Connoisseurs’ Guide to California Wine and 91 points
from Wine Enthusiast.
“A stylish cool-climate Chardonnay, intense, crisp, vibrant and
34
concentrated, with subtle citrus and
pippin apple notes giving it a juicy
sensation. Ends with slate and
mineral notes that are firm and
focused, reverberating on the finish.
Drink now through 2018.” (James
Laube, Wine Spectator, February 9,
2011.)
2008 marks the second year we
have released single vineyard designate
wines from our estate vineyards.
Made in very limited quantities,
the Pastorale Chardonnay,
Pastorale Pinot Noir and Quarter
Moon Pinot Noir each represent the
very best of what these estate vineyards
can produce, beginning with
selections made in the vineyard, at the crush pad, during fermentation
and throughout the barrel-aging process. Only two to four barrels
were made of each wine.
The 2008 Pastorale Chardonnay offers up hints of toasted
hazelnut, freshly baked brioche, lemon mousse and crushed, wet
rocks. The first sip is lean and crisp, but soon the palate is coated with
flavors of lemony crème brûlée, stone fruits, green apples and a very
subtle touch of coriander. This wine has received 93 points from Wine
Enthusiast and 90 points from Wine & Spirits.
The 2008 Pastorale Pinot Noir possesses harmonious aromas of
cassis, blackberry reduction, anise, crispy sage and spicy oak. On the
palate one finds alluring flavors of Bing cherry compote, tangerine
zest, sandalwood, dried violets, baking spices and silky tannins that
provide a seamless texture. This wine has received 93 points from
Wine Enthusiast.
The 2008 Quarter Moon Pinot Noir has a nose that is deep and
exotic, exuding aromas of cinnamon, clove, dried rose hips, cedar and
freshly gathered wild mushrooms. Both elegant and striking, the
palate reveals a mouthful of red currants, wild strawberries and
rhubarb and finishes with a fresh and zesty mouthfeel. This wine has
received 94 points and “Cellar Selection” from Wine Enthusiast and 90
points from Wine & Spirits.
Come and taste these wines! Joseph Phelps Vineyards is located at

V2V (Vineyard to Vintner): The Annual Weekend Event in
Napa Valley’s Neighborhood for World Class Cabernet
Join the Stags Leap District Winegrowers Association at its annual
neighborhood block party Vineyard to Vintner (V2V 2011). V2V
2011 promises to be both more festive and more informative, as it
has been extended out to encompass the entire last weekend of
April. The party begins with four intimate vintner-hosted Friday
Night Dinners, followed on Saturday morning with Style and
Strength: A Stags Leap District Cabernet Seminar hosted by Saveur
Magazine’s wine editor David Rosengarten, continuing on to exclusive
Winery Open Houses at 18 Stags Leap District properties.
Sunday participants welcome guests back for one last bit of complimentary
tasting.
The four Friday Night Dinners on April 29th will be the most
intimate and, perhaps for some, the most memorable part of the
weekend. Each dinner will be held at a separate Stags Leap District
winery, with cuisine provided by a top chef, and limited space
allowing only 45 guests each.
Saturday April 30th commences with Style and Strength: A
Stags Leap District Cabernet Seminar. David Rosengarten, Saveur
Magazine’s wine editor, will lead an expert discussion and tasting
with three of the Napa Valley’s most esteemed master winemakers:
Nicki Pruss of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, Benoit Touquette of
Hartwell Vineyards and Michael Beaulac of Pine Ridge Vineyards.
Guests can then experience the 18 beautiful properties located
within the appellation firsthand at V2V’s Open Houses,.
On Sunday May 1st, guests will have an opportunity to enjoy a
series of bonus complimentary tastings at participating retail rooms.
Event tickets information and tickets can be obtained by visiting
www.stagsleapdistrict.com/v2v.php.

David Fulton Winery’s Old Vines Petite Sirah Garners Gold
David Fulton Winery, a historic Petite Sirah producer, recently
announced the newest accolade to be given to their 2007 vintage. A
gold medal was awarded at the 2011 Grand Harvest Awards: a highly
respected industry competition. What sets Grand Harvest Awards
apart from the rest is one word...terroir.
Established in 1990, it is the only wine-judging event in North
America that is based on terroir – a group of vineyards (or even vines)
from the same region, belonging to a specific appellation and sharing
the same type of soil, weather conditions, grapes and winemaking
savoir-faire, which contribute to give its specific personality to the wine.
A goal of Grand Harvest is to learn more about how terroir
contributes qualities of excellence and distinctiveness to wines. Over
the course of this event, judges have learned to recognize when terroir
is – and is not – a factor of wine quality.
The David Fulton Winery 2007 Petite Sirah is grown in their
historic St. Helena estate vineyards planted in 1860. David Fulton also
built the town’s first stone wine cellar under his winery next to it just
one year later with money earned from the invention of the Fulton
One Horse Plow. This is where the wine is still made today – in much
the same way.
David Fulton Winery & Vineyards is located at 825 Fulton Lane,
just four blocks east of Hwy 29, in Napa Valley’s historic St. Helena.
Visitors are invited to the winery on Mondays and Fridays and most
Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for tasting. Other times are available
by appointment. They offer in addition to tasting two vintages of the
award-winning Petite Sirah, tastes of “Our Sweet Petite,” a Port style
wine. All have very limited productions. You should note that the
winery doesn’t have any commercial signage, so you’ll have to look for
the address (825 Fulton Lane) to enjoy the winery’s private setting!

Sausal Winery Celebrates
Cellar Cat Sophie
Gypsie and Sophie are the Sausal Winery Cellar Cats. Years ago
Gypsie wandered into the winery but then quickly disappeared. Not
long after, she was found again with a litter of kittens in the cellar.
Sophie is one of those kittens, and this April Sausal Winery is celebrating
Sophie’s ninth birthday. Stop by any day of the week to meet
the cats and taste the wines that honor them.
When they are not posing for pictures, Gypsie and Sophie can be
found lounging around the office, tasting room or porch. Occasionally
you might see Sophie chasing a bunny through the vineyard or Gypsie
stalking a bird on the lawn. But, if you bring a lunch to the picnic
tables, Sophie will surely turn up.
Sausal Winery specializes in old vine Zinfandel from their estate
vineyards, but also makes two cellar cat tribute wines. Cellar Cats Red,
a non-vintage Estate Zinfandel, is light and fruity; an easy sipper on a
warm night. The Purrfect Petite is the newest tribute to the winery
cats, and Petite Sirah was chosen as their varietal compliment because
they are both inky black, big and bold.
Sausal Winery is located in Alexander Valley, just a few miles east of
the charming town of Healdsburg. For more information, call 1-800-
500-2285 or visit them online at www.sausalwinery.com.

SONOMA VALLEY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Tasting Room of the Week:
Mayo Family Winery
by Brendan Conroy
While searching the Sonoma Valley for
superior wine tasting experiences, one may
have difficulty discovering a winery that sets
itself apart from the rest. Mayo is unmatched
in its diverse selection of activities. The first
tasting room exploit for wine country
explorers to enjoy is the wine and food
pairing program based out of the Reserve
Room in Kenwood. Mayo masterfully weaves
together wine and food perfection over a
seven course food and wine pairing experience.
Imagine the delight of friends and
family alike as they embark upon a quest
towards culinary perfection as they savor the
juicy 2008 Reserve Zinfandel paired with the
decadent guava braised lamb leg ravioli with
red and gold beets. The sense of sheer delectation
from this meal will linger on as a
memory of a time well spent in wine country.
Next visit the Main Tasting Room located
in Glen Ellen so that one may delve into the
world of artisan single-vineyard, smallproduction
wines. Mayo believes that each of
its wines should be intricately tailored in
limited production so that the quality of the
fruit will be displayed to its fullest. Making
anywhere from 7000-9000 cases annually,
Mayo’s wines are only available through the
tasting room and through the wine club. This
ensures that the majesty of the wine will be
exemplified on the palate as opposed to
creating a larger production for the sole
purpose of distribution. Select from any one
of the anomalous varietals such as Alicante
Bouchet, Grenache or Cabernet Franc for a
unique experience, or stick to more traditional
Sonoma Valley varietals with Mayo’s
selection of Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel
or Pinot Noir. Any decision will surely be a
wise one.
As a part of an in-depth study of the fortitude
of Mayo’s wines, let us dissect a few
specific standouts. Sangiovese itself is originally
an Italian varietal which is most
commonly associated as being one of the
primary grapes in Chianti. The 2007 Unti
Vineyard Sangiovese lives up to its rich
heritage by being a light to medium body
style wine with a refined concentration of
spice. It imparts notes of allspice, ripe cherry
pie and a hint of oak. Ideal pairings for this
wine would include anything from meaty
pizza to succulent pork tenderloin.
The 2007 Unti Vineyard “Antonio’s Cuvee”
Zinfandel is the most austere of Mayo’s
Zinfandels. Rich in spice and black pepper,
this wine could enhance any heavy meat and
would be a perfect pairing with filet mignon.
Dry hay is the focal point of the nose and
introduces elements of both cranberry and
black pepper in the palate. The elegant
tannin structure makes it easy to appreciate
the supple, rounded mouth feel that
continues long into the finish.
The tasting rooms themselves are open
daily until 6:30, so no more chaotic rush at
4:20 in order to enjoy one more winery
before closing time. Make sure to stop by
Mayo for quality wine and experience all that
Sonoma Valley has to offer.
Visit Mayo Family Winery at 13101
Arnold Drive at Highway 12 in Glen Ellen;
(707) 938-9401 or Mayo Family Reserve
Room at 9200 Sonoma Highway, Kenwood;

SONOMA COUNTY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
And they’re off…To buy Seabiscuit Ranch Wines at
Sonoma Enoteca to celebrate the Kentucky Derby
The story of Seabiscuit lives on in the heart of America. And
everyone who saw the incredible movie was touched by the tale of the
knobby-kneed racehorse who triumphed over adversity to become
one of the greatest champions of the 20th century.
The legendary champion racehorse, Seabiscuit, captured the
emotional spirit of America with his tenacity, endurance, winning
spirit and passion. Those same qualities apply to our Seabiscuit Ranch
wines. Made from the award-winning winegrapes from small premium
vineyards, these wines possess full rich aromas and ripe fruit flavors.
Enjoy Seabiscuit Chardonnay, Merlot and Superfecta Meritage
wines anytime. Celebrate the Kentucky Derby on May 7, 2011 with
very special Seabiscuit wines as you watch the Run For The Roses.
Stop in to Sonoma Enoteca on the historic Sonoma Plaza and choose
your favorites.
The 2008 Seabiscuit Ranch Chardonnay is a beautiful balance of
fruit and oak. Lovely aromas of ripe pear and apple perfectly balanced
with buttery elegance is a winner, and just $22.50.
The 2006 Seabiscuit Ranch Merlot is a smooth, inviting fruitforward
wine with full-bodied flavors or ripe plums, cherries
and blackberries. It’s aged sixteen months in small oak
barrels and sells for just $22.50.
The 2006 Seabiscuit Ranch Superfecta Meritage is a
blend of Cabernet, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet
Franc. Just as in horse racing a Superfecta is picking four
winning horses in the same race….this Superfecta is a combination
of four winning wines. Soft tannins, rich fruit and a hint of oak
make this wine a real treat at just $28.
During the 1930s, as America struggled to overcome the Great
Depression, the determined spirit of this unlikely victor reflected
the mood of the nation. After setting a track record at Santa Anita
in 1940, the spectacular racing career of this legendary Thoroughbred
came to an end.
Seabiscuit was a champion Thoroughbred
born in 1933. The Kentucky Derby is limited to
three-year-old race horses. Seabiscuit was not recognized as a
champion until 1937, which would have made him too old to participate
in the Kentucky Derby. But in his honor, you can enjoy the
Kentucky Derby on May 7.
Seabiscuit was retired to a ranch in Mendocino County’s Redwood
Valley, where his memory inspires winemaking endeavors.
Seabiscuit Ranch vineyards are located on a southern portion of the
original Ridgewood Ranch. Located just 20 miles from the Mendocino
coastline, these small, award-winning vineyards are perched at an altitude
of 1,000 feet on steep slopes of the Pacific Coastal Mountain
range. Vines are nurtured and harvested entirely by hand according to
sustainable growing practices.
Grapes from Mendocino County’s Redwood Valley appellation are
uniquely flavorful, complex and well-balanced. Warm days contrast
with cool nighttime temperatures. These dramatic daily temperature
swings offer the qualitative edge to fruit harvested from one of California’s
northernmost viticultural districts.
So from Seabiscuit Ranch and from all of us at Sonoma Enoteca, we
hope you pick a winner! Sonoma Enoteca is located at 35 East Napa
Street, Sonoma. Visit Sonoma-enoteca.com or call (707) 935-1200.
Sonoma Enoteca offers hand-crafted wines from ten boutique
wineries, wine accessories, books, olive oils and home furnishings.

About Mary Frances Kenney Fisher
Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher's philosophy and approach to food
and its preparation have influenced many of the best chefs and food
writers of our day. A close friend of David Bouverie, who donated the
535-acre oak studded property to ACR in 1979 (which now serves
as nature preserve, center for environmental education and habitat
restoration site), MFK Fisher spent the last 20 years of her life living
in a home built for her by David Bouverie at the Bouverie Ranch –
now known as the Bouverie Preserve. There she entertained friends
such as Julia Child, James Beard, Chuck Williams, John Ash and
Alice Waters, while publishing six additional books, including Last
House.

Room at Wente Vineyards Estate Winery on Tesla Road in Livermore.
Funds raised at the gala event will feed the hungry, send kids with
life-threatening diseases to summer camp and provide healthcare via
donations to Open Heart Kitchen, Children’s Skin Disease Foundation
and ValleyCare Foundation’s Mobile Health Unit.

Valley area, and we provide an important safety net against hunger for
local families.”
The 2011 Wine Auction also will benefit the Children’s Skin
Disease Foundation’s Camp Wonder, a medically staffed summer
camp for children who are unable to attend any other camp due to
their often untreatable diseases of the skin and ValleyCare Foundation’s
Mobile Health Unit that provides primary health care to uninsured
and underserved children in the Tri-Valley area.
The event will begin at 6 p.m. with the silent auction. Livermore
Valley’s winemakers will pour and discuss their wines as guests enjoy
passed hors d’oeuvres and the opportunity to bid on hand-decorated
3-liter bottles and beautiful wooden boxes of the Valley’s best wines.
During the elegant three-course meal prepared by Wente Vineyards
Catering Executive Chef Jeff Farlow and Wente Pastry Chef Leena
Hung, auctioneer Damon Casatico of Charity Benefit Auctions will
bring his gavel down on 20 one-of-a-kind epicurean and adventure
packages.

Tour the CCOF-Certified Organic Vineyards of Alfaro Family Vineyards,
Cooper-Garrod Estate Vineyards, Silver Mountain, Vine Hill Winery
In recognition of Earth Day, 2011 the Organic Wine Trail will
host special Earth Day tours on Saturday, April 23 so visitors can
learn more about growing organic winegrapes, as well as taste their
wines.
Four Santa Cruz Mountains wineries have united to showcase
their certified organic vineyards and practices by forming a wine
trail that extends from Cooper-Garrod Estate Vineyards in Saratoga;
to Silver Mountain Vineyards along Summit Road between Los
Gatos and Soquel; to Vine Hill Winery in Santa Cruz; to Alfaro
Family Vineyards in Corralitos. The route makes a nice day’s excursion,
with excellent restaurants, picnicking and fabulous views
along the way. It is a wonderful opportunity to explore the wineries
of the Santa Cruz Mountains, from Saratoga to Corralitos, while
learning about the extra steps vineyards and wineries take to adhere
to organic standards. Hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The cost for the self-guided tour is only the tasting fee/policy set by
each winery. Total tasting fees for all four wineries are $35. Guided
tours with local transportation providers are also available, as are
special package tours.
Check the website at www.organicwinetrail.org for more information,
including maps and directions.
Each of the four wineries on the
Organic Wine Trail of the Santa
Cruz Mountains has achieved
organic certification for its vineyard
by the CCOF (California
Certified Organic Farmers). In
addition to these four, the vineyard
at Kathryn Kennedy is also
certified organic by the CCOF. The
CCOF, based in Santa Cruz,
promotes and supports organic
food and agriculture through a
rigorous organic certification
program, and has over 2000 certified
members. CCOF Certification
Services is accredited by the

MONTEREY/CENTRAL COAST | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Morgan Makes Restaurant ‘Most Popular Pinot Noir’ List
Morgan Winery is one of the most requested brands by America’s
diners. The results from Wine & Spirits 22nd Annual Restaurant Poll
show that Morgan’s “Twelve Clones” Pinot Noir is one of the top 25
most demanded Pinot Noirs in U.S. restaurants.
On-premise sales have always been Morgan Winery’s target market.
Santa Lucia Highlands’ Gala
Tickets Now On Sale for May 14th "Highlands Fling" at Boekenoogen
The Santa Lucia Highlands Wine Artisans, an alliance of the
appellation’s winegrowers and the wineries that rely on the district’s
world-class fruit, announced that tickets are now available for their
fifth annual Gala tasting, taking place from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday,
May 14 at the Boekenoogen Winery. Boekenoogen is located at 33520
Fairview Road, Gonzales.
This “Highlands’ Fling” celebration will be a strolling wine tasting
on the grounds of the scenic Boekenoogen property, with dramatic
views of the Salinas Valley below. The event will feature the most
prized vintages and special reserves of the S.L.H.'s artisan winemakers.
Guests will have the opportunity to sample rare wines, in many cases
poured by the vintners themselves; wineries likely to participate
include Aiena, Alfaro, August West, Belle Glos, Boekenoogen, Caraccioli,
Cru, Hahn, Hope & Grace, Kori, La Rochelle, Lucienne,
Manzoni, McIntyre, Mer Soleil, Miura, Morgan, Novy, Paraiso, Pelerin,
Pessagno, Pey-Lucia, Pisoni, Puma Road, Roar, Sequana, Siduri,
Talbott, Tantara, Testarossa, Tondre, Tudor, and Wrath.
The festivities include food by Paradise Catering and the
Boekenoogen “Grill Team,” music by the Hay Boys, and a “big bottle”
silent auction, with many one-of-a-kind items.
Tickets at $85 each are available at www.santaluciahighlands.com.
The recent poll results indicate the success of the Morgan sales team
in getting the word out, through partnership with top distributors
across the country. “We are very pleased to have one of the most
popular Pinot Noirs,” says proprietor and winegrower Dan Morgan
Lee. “We truly appreciate the loyal, ongoing support that we have
received from the nation’s top restaurants.”
A well-known name for world-class Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and
Syrah from one of America’s most lauded growing regions – the Santa
Lucia Highlands – Morgan Winery has also earned a reputation for
producing wines of terrific value from other Monterey County
districts. In 2010, Morgan’s Monterey Sauvignon Blanc also made the
Annual Restaurant Poll list by being voted one of the country’s “Top 25
Wines-By-The-Glass.”
With more than thirty years experience, Dan Lee and the Morgan
label have been synonymous with artisan, vineyard-centric wines from
the Santa Lucia Highlands and Monterey. Dan’s conscientious and
innovative farming regimens allied with traditional, “minimalist”
winemaking techniques craft wines of balance, elegance and distinction.
