Guessing a person’s age based only upon their appearance can be 

a difficult and delicate challenge. With wine, the guessing game is 

only slightly easier, yet without the risk of embarrassment to you or 

the subject. 

As wine ages in bottle its color passes through a series of stages of 

maturity. Upon examination in a glass tilted at an angle against a 

white background, a typical young red wine that is less than three 

years old has a dense purple center, lessening in intensity toward the 

10

by Len Napolitano 

How does wine color change over time? 

rim. Over the next 5-10 years, the wine color will transition toward 

deep red in the center, and slowly evolve into a reddish-brown color. 

Very mature red wines will show an even greater degree of brown 

in the center and have a rim color of tawny brown. Throughout the 

years of aging, from youthful purple to mature brown, the color 

pigments in red wine precipitate with the tannins and form into 

sediment at the bottom of the bottle. That is an indication that a 

wine needs to be decanted before serving. 

Certain white wines also mature with time and reveal their age 

with a change in color. White Burgundy from France and some California 

Chardonnays are two examples. Whereas red wines transition 

from a dark, dense color to a paler shade of red-brown, the coloring 

of white wines will go in the opposite direction, going from a pale 

straw color to amber-gold. 

The color of wine, and its change over time, also depends on 

several other factors other than age. The particular variety of grape, 

the length of time the grape skins are in contact with the grape juice 

during and after fermentation, and the amount of time the wine 

spends aging inside an oak barrel all contribute to a wine’s intensity 

of color in its youth and its subsequent development over time.

Wine & Spirits Education Trust and Chicago Wine School and continually gains knowledge from his frequent contact

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINE COUNTRY NEWS 

Wine Garage – Wine Shop ... or Winery? 

Most readers have learned over 

the years that some of the best 

wine-deals in Napa Valley can be 

found at the Wine Garage in 

Calistoga. When Todd and Joy 

Miller moved to Napa Valley in 

2001, they were surprised to find 

that they could hardly find any 

wines for less than $45 a bottle. 

Then they went to a dinner party 

at a winemaker’s home, and were 

shocked to discover that many 

winemakers couldn’t afford to 

drink the wines they made. That’s 

when the Millers decided to open 

the first wine shop in Napa Valley 

that only carried wines under $25 

a bottle. 

So in 2003, Todd Miller 

swapped his corporate necktie for 

jeans and boots and started 

scouring Northern California for 

great, undiscovered wines to offer 

at his new wine shop, the Wine 

Garage in Calistoga. Miller drove the roads less traveled, meeting with 

winemakers, walking in their vineyards and tasting their grapes, 

barrel samples and finished wines. The winemakers, tickled to have a 

real, live wine buyer at their winery, shared stories with Miller over a 

glass of wine at the dinner table. 

The Miller’s started a wine club three years ago shipping six bottle 

shipments for $100. Well, the club was so successful that last year 

even Rachael Ray heard about it and featured the Wine Garage on her 

Tasty Travels show on the wine country. 

Way back in 2003, when Todd was getting permits for the store he 

had a vision of selling wine right from the barrel in half gallon jugs 

just like they do in France and Italy. To do that he needed an out right 

winery license and permit. He got them – much to the shock of the 

local winery folks because that kind of thinking was unheard of in 

Napa. You can’t be a “winery” and a “wine shop” at the same time in 

the same place. No. Well actually yes, you can … under the right 

circumstances. The jug program was originally delayed due to the 

success of the wine club but Todd did hire a winemaker and set off 

trying to find deals on grapes just like he had on case goods. He drove 

around after harvest and wrote down what vineyards still had fruit on 

the vine that was unsold. He sought help from his many winemaker 

and vineyard manager friends. He found deals. He and his winemaker, 

Massimo Monticelli – a former assistant winemaker at Silver 

Oak – made some wine. Good wine. 

Todd found some Cabernet grapes up on Diamond Mountain back 

in 2006 from a grower that was nervous about a rain storm coming in 

right during the peak of harvest. He cut a deal. Then he made another 

deal on some Zinfandel and then later on some Syrah. After 18 

MASSIVE WINE SALE 

Get a mixed case 

from store at 20% off, 

or case of Wine Garage 

labeled wine for 30% off 

during month of February 

months in barrel the wine is ready. Go 

taste it for yourself, for free. 

The Cabernet from the Diamond 

Mountain section of Napa gets very 

expensive – up to $275 per bottle from 

one winery – but the vineyard Todd 

found was across the road from the 

boundary of the Diamond Mountain 

AVA and sold for less money because 

you couldn’t put “Diamond Mountain” 

on the label. The Wine Garage “Hillside” 

Cab sells for $45. It is yummy, 

too. Big and rich, dark in the glass, 

smooth tannins, ripe fruit, chocolate 

covered coffee beans comes to mind. 

The Zin and Syrah are equally good and 

sell for less than the Cab, $30 and $25, 

respectfully. 

The Joy Ride is a white blend of 

Albarino, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier 

and Muscat Canelli. The wine was 

fermented completely dry in stainless 

steel tanks without malolactic fermentation. 

The nose is extremely fragrant 

with white peach, apricot, meyer lemon and jasmine. The body is full 

with generous weight on the mid palate and a rich, silky mouthfeel. 

There is surprising acidity on the clean and crisp finish. This is a 

perfect wine for a wide variety of foods which include sushi, cracked 

crab, lemon chicken and many cheeses. 

Fill ’er up with wine “pumped” into the half-gallon jugs from the 

specially designed gas station nozzles. Two different Wine Garage 

blends are offered and filled to order, one Bordeaux based (read: Cab) 

and one Rhone (Syrah) and are selling for $29.99 per half gallon jug 

that you fill yourself. 

Visit Wine Garage at 1020 Foothill Blvd. (Highway 29) in Calistoga; 

open every day from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. For more information, 

call (707) 942-5332 or visit the website at www.winegarage.net.

2007 Olive Hill Estate Cabernet 

Receives Top Honor 

Bruce Cohn was proud to 

announce that the 2007 B.R. 

Cohn Olive Hill Estate Cabernet 

Sauvignon received a double gold 

at the 2011 San Francisco Wine 

Competition. This Sonoma Valley 

Cabernet is the only double gold 

winner from Sonoma County. 

The long, warm 2007 growing 

season, along with a very low 

crop and smaller concentrated 

berries yielded one of B.R. Cohn’s 

best Cabernets this decade. The 

2007 vintage was aged for 24 

months in only the finest tight 

grain French oak, and expertly 

made by B.R. Cohn winemaker 

Tom Montgomery. A bouquet of 

fine oak, anise and mint combine 

with supple tannins and a long 

finish to produce a well-balanced 

rich full-bodied Cabernet that 

will age well for years to come. 

B.R. Cohn Winery has consistently 

produced one of the 

premier Cabernets in California 

from the Olive Hill Estate Vineyards 

in the heart of the Sonoma 

Valley. Underground natural hot 

springs warm the soil, and gentle 

ocean breezes create a unique 

micro-climate perfectly suited for 

growing Cabernet Sauvignon. 

“We are very pleased by this 

award as it brings into focus the 

consistently high quality of 

grapes grown on our Olive Hill 

estate and the high level of winemaking 

at B.R Cohn,” enthused 

owner Bruce Cohn. “Since 

1984, the Olive Hill estate 

grown Cabernet continues to be 

one of the top Cabernets from 


Sonoma Valley.” 

Looking forward over the 

September 23-26 weekend, B.R. 

Cohn Charity Events will be 

presenting the Silver Anniversary 

25th Annual B.R Cohn Charity 

Events Fall Music Festival, 

Charity Auction/Celebrity Chef 

Wine Dinner and Golf Tournament. 

Over the years the event 


B.R. Cohn Winery Garners Double Gold at 2011 

San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition 

has raised nearly $6 million for 

deserving charities and has 

featured some of the biggest 

names in music. For more information 

visit www.brcohn.com. 

B.R. Cohn Winery is located at 

15000 Sonoma Highway 12 in 

Glen Ellen. The tasting room is

SF Chronicle Wine Competition Public Tasting 

Largest competition of American wines offers a refreshing 

new way to learn and experience the joys of wine 

What makes a wine collector? Well just about anyone who stores a 

bottle they plan on opening in the future for that special occasion. The 

San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition (SFCWC), the largest 

competition of American Wines in the World, is the ideal place to 

experience a refreshing new educational look at wine and food pairing. 

Scrutinized by a contingent of professional wine judges, the Public 

Tasting is your chance to experience new and exciting award winning 

wines with a group of friends at the Annual Public Tasting held 

February 19 at Fort Mason Center’s Festival Pavilion in San Francisco. 

The tasting will feature thousands of the country’s finest wineries and 

their awarded wines, along with a truly exceptional spread of gourmet 

fare. Unpretentious and fun, this popular event encourages everyone 

to come together, learn about many new wines and enjoy a dream 

fulfilling new wine experience. 

Your palate will thank you as you meander through more than 

300 wineries pouring their sophisticated award winning wines at the 

San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition Public Tasting. The 

tickets are affordable at $65 when purchased in advance from 

www.winejudging.com. The Public Tasting is always a sold out event, 

so don’t wait until the last minute to purchase your tickets; admittance, 

if still available the day of the Tasting, is $80 at the door. 

The SFCWC Public Tasting provides a wide array of delectable vari- 

22 

etals and victuals that can be enjoyed while gazing at the sweeping 

views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin County and the San Francisco 

Bay. Gourmet food website www.SavorCalifornia.com provides delicious 

hand-crafted creations from premier artisan food purveyors, 

including artisan breads, savory meats, exotic oils, hand crafted 

cheeses, delicious desserts, floral jams, sumptuous sauces, and other 

fabulous creations provided by the California Culinary Academy. 

Founded in 1983 as the modestly sized Cloverdale Citrus Fair 

Wine Competition, the SFCWC has evolved immensely over the years, 

expanding its eligibility to wineries throughout the United States. In 

2000, the event gained sponsorship from the San Francisco Chronicle 

and appropriately assumed the title the San Francisco Chronicle Wine 

Competition. 

Education and philanthropy play an important role in this competition 

produced by winejudging.com and hosted by the Cloverdale 

Citrus Faire .In addition to benefiting the Santa Rosa Junior College 

Wine Studies and Culinary Programs; the San Francisco Chronicle 

Wine Competition added the Enology / Wine Programs at CSU Fresno 

and Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo as additional beneficiaries in 2010. 

The 2011 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition is grateful to 

Presenting Sponsor Target, KGO Newstalk AM810, NBC Bay Area, 

and Wine & Spirits Magazine for their sponsorship and support, as 

well as to American AgCredit and Hilton Fisherman’s Wharf for their 

involvement.

No matter how long you’ve lived in or 

visited wine country, it’s still a challenge to visit 

all the wineries, right? Because you develop a 

list of favorites that you must visit every trip 

and there’s only so much time… That’s why it’s 

always a thrill to discover a new favorite, or an 

old favorite, as you will when you drop in at 

40-year-veteran Monticello Vineyards on Big 

Ranch Road in Napa. 

Jay Corley came to Napa Valley in 1969 

with the spirit of a pioneer, intent on finding 

some land to grow his favorite varietals. Jay 

Corley was a grower only until 1980, when he 

hired a winemaker and started to produce 

wine, too. Corley was a great admirer of 

Thomas Jefferson, who was not only a 

founding father but also the United States first 

great connoisseur. He honored the third president 

by naming the winery Monticello Vineyards 

after Jefferson’s mountaintop home in 

Charlottesville, Virginia. In 1984, the Corleys 

built the Jefferson House, their version of 

Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello on the Home 

Ranch that is now used to entertain guests. Jay 

Corley has since passed the reins of the vineyards 

and winery to three of his sons: Kevin, 

winegrower and president; Stephen, who 

24 

Jay Corley & Sons 

Corley Family 

Monticello Vineyards 

oversees marketing and administration; and 

Chris, the winemaker. 

In the quaint, rustic tasting room, the staff 

pours either their “Monticello Vineyards 

Tasting” or their “Corley Reserve Tasting” – 

you can do both and have a little bit of almost 

everything the Corleys produce from their 

estate vineyards in Napa Valley. The real treat 

is to get downstairs in “The Cellar of The 

Jefferson House” and taste in “The Library” or 

“The Reserve Room.” Also, guests at Monticello 

often get a chance to do some “barrel 

tasting on the fly,” during weekends (Friday, 

Saturday and Sunday) before noon with a 

comparative sampling of Cabernet Sauvignon 

from three different estate vineyards. 

The Corleys love to tailor tastings to their 

guests’ preferences (with appropriate advance 

notice), so don’t be shy about telling them 

what you like. They also like to show off their 

library and library wines in a “vertical” format. 

Slip into the comfortable black leather chairs 

and enjoy a flight of Cabernet Sauvignon, 

some Merlot or their very popular Corley 

Proprietary Red Wine.

B Cellars Blends Varietals to Develop Distinct Flavors 

When B Cellars (www.bcellars.com) founder Jim Borsack first 

encountered his partner Duffy Keys at a fourth of July barbecue in 

2002, both executives were exploring new life paths in the wine business. 

Over a drop of the good stuff, of course, their journeys became 

intertwined when they discovered that they not only shared the same 

tastes in wine but were also on parallel missions to acquire vineyard 

property. 

In the spring of 2003, they scrapped their solo endeavors, formed 

B Cellars, and got serious about structuring a first-rate wine company 

predicated upon two absolute principles: first, to produce exceptional 

artisan wines, season after season, by employing a multi-vineyard 

strategy, and second, to develop distinct flavors by blending wines 

from mutually complementary varietals. 

Not long after they met the third key player, Kirk Venge named 

“One of the Top 20 New Winemakers in the World” by Food & Wine 

Magazine (October 2005). Kirk brought with him a 37-year winemaking 

legacy via his father, Nils, and a keen understanding of the 

Napa appellation. A bond was established almost immediately. All 

team members were in concert with the idea of blending the finest red 

wines from the Napa Valley Appellation, and Kirk was given the 

mandate to create three proprietary blends of consummate quality 

from year to year. 

The B Cellars name and logo stand for a commitment to seasonless 

excellence. The letter “b” and the degree symbol (º) refer to brix, a 

B Cellars Tasting Room, Calistoga 

wine term which defines the optimal sugar/alcohol content in grape 

juice that indicates the potential for greatness. B Cellars is committed 

to the artisan approach, creating perfectly balanced and complex 

wines. 

Taste the wines at the B Cellars tasting room, 400 Silverado Trail in 

Calistoga; open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, 

call (707) 709-8787 or visit the website at www.bcellars.com. You can 

also follow them on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

S U I S U N V A L L E Y 

Benefits of Joining the Vezer Family Vineyard Wine Club 

As Frank Vezer says with 

great pride, “The 2006 and 

2007 vintages of Vezer Cabs 

and Zins rock the house.” In 

the last 18 months, both in 

the major national and international 

competitions, Vezer 

has won gold, double gold 

and tied for “Best in Class for North Central Coast Appellation.” 

Only some of the finest restaurants and wine shops in the 

country carry Vezer, and only by special arrangement. The wines 

range from $50 to $100 retail, but wine club members get a great 

discount and a guaranteed of allocations. If you try to get this wine 

anywhere else – if you can even find it – you can expect to pay 

close, to or more than, $200 per bottle. The winery has discovered 

that when people join they do not let their membership go. In fact, 

Vezer has one of the highest club retentions of all time. There are many 

reasons to join other than the award-winning wine shipments and the 

benefits that give you VIP status and recognition. There’s ambiance 

that you simply cannot get anywhere else, free tastings for up to four 

to six people, a private tasting room and club room onsite, ATV tours, 

free wine club pick-up parties with live music, exceptional food and 

wine served right from the barrels. 

Winter pick-up parties are usually barrel burning events, roasting 

linguica, Hungarian Paprika Bacon and sausages from all over the 

world, accompanied by hearty Zins, some seductive Cabernets, Petite 

Sirah and Barrel Room Select Blends. And try roasting smores over the 

open fire while tasting some of the finest white and ruby Ports. 

At the spring and summer pick-up parties there are outdoor 

movies, barbecues and live music in the gardens, either at the Private 

Ranch or the small Western Village of Mankas Corner. (The Vezer’s 

bought Mankas Corner, in its entirety, several years back and reno- 

28 

vated into a European-style oasis. Here you feel like you were on the 

set with Russell Crowe in the movie “A Good Year.”) Throughout 

the year there are special concerts and formal dinners at the winery 

and at the private ranch. Just imagine one of America’s greatest 

tenors starting with the ballet “Besame Mucho” as the light slowly 

turns its focus on the star standing in the middle of the vineyard, 

secluded in a private mile-long valley owned by the Vezer’s, then all 

the sudden this beautiful 

blond in a cobalt blue gown 

starts on the hillside nearby 

with an instrumental solo 

with her electric violin that 

simply resonates throughout 

the valley. Just as the 

sommelier pours you a wine 

right from a magnum of one of Vezer’s private reserves, all while 

enjoying wild boar, Moroccan chicken or filet mignon. As owner 

Frank Vezer says, “It is truly the opportunity of a lifetime, and it is here 

for you to enjoy!” 

The wine club, due to the limited production and quaint private 

settings is anticipated to be capped at 1,000 members. The Club 

consists of 250 spots for Chieftains – VIP Chairmen’s, and 750 Elite 

members and these two quotas are quickly filling up. Stop by and visit 

the Vezers and join either club at the tasting room or you can even join 

online at www.vezerfamilyvineyard.com.

Insignia and Backus Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 

Two Award-Winning Wines from Joseph Phelps Vineyards 

Joseph Phelps Vineyards has long 

produced world-class award-winning wines 

and we take special pride in our two Cabernet 

Sauvignon based wines: our flagship wine 

Insignia and the Backus Vineyard Cabernet 

Sauvignon. These two wines represent opposite 

ends of the spectrum in approaches to 

winemaking: the art of blending vineyards 

and varietals versus a single-vineyard 

approach. Insignia represents the art of the 

blend: the best blend from what our estate 

vineyards located throughout Napa Valley can 

produce and the best blend of available estate 

Bordeaux varietals in any given vintage. 

Backus Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon represents 

the best of what a single vineyard can 

produce year after year, and from a very 

unique terroir. 

When Joe Phelps envisioned the term 

“Insignia,” it was to represent the finest lots of 

Bordeaux grape varietals available from each 

vintage. Originally sourced from the best 

grower fruit, beginning with the 1990 vintage 

Insignia was produced primarily from estategrown 

grapes in the Stags Leap District and 

Rutherford Bench – two of the most desirable 

sources for Cabernet Sauvignon in California. 

30 

Since the 2004 vintage, Insignia has been 

crafted entirely from Estate Vineyards. 

In its 35 years of existence, Insignia has 

consistently ranked among the top wines in 

California, if not the world. Our 2007 

Insignia, released September 1, 2010, 

received 98 points from Robert Parker, Jr.’s 

Wine Advocate, 96 points from Wine Spectator, 

94 points from Stephen Tanzer’s International 

Wine Cellar, 94 points from Wine 

Enthusiast, 95 points from James Suckling 

and 96 points from Connoisseur’s Guide to 

California Wine. 

Since the release of the first Insignia 

vintage in 1974, it has received 90 points or 

greater in every vintage but two. And since 

1990, Insignia has been rated 90 points or 

higher every year by both Wine Spectator and 

Robert Parker, Jr.’s The Wine Advocate. In 

fact, The Wine Spectator has named Insignia 

its #1 Wine of the Year (2002 vintage), #3 

Wine of the Year (1994 vintage), and #5 Wine 

of the Year (1997 vintage) and it has been 

designated a Cellar Selection five times in 

addition to the “Top 100” awards. 

Located on the southeastern corner of 

Silverado Trail and Oakville Cross Road, the 

Backus Vineyard has long been known for its 

iron-rich, steeply-terraced hillside soil and 

exceptional fruit. A picturesque, copperroofed 

stone smokehouse sits in the midst of 

the vineyard and is visible from the Silverado 

Trail. 

In December of 1996, after having held a 

long-term lease on the property since 1977, 

Joseph Phelps Vineyards purchased the entire 

45-acre parcel. Subsequent development 

increased plantings to 21.5 acres and all of the 

work was done by hand. No tractors, trucks 

or ATVs were utilized in the preparing and 

planting of the vineyard. Workers used 

shovels and picks, pounded stakes by hand 

and pick-axed through rock to lay and bury 

irrigation lines, end posts and trellis wiring. 

Backus Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is 

distinctive for producing flavors and aromas 

of dark chocolate, black fruit, graphite and 

minerals, followed by lush, sweet and lengthy 

tannins. The 2007 Backus Vineyard Cabernet 

Sauvignon was rated 97 points from Robert 

Parker, Jr.’s The Wine Advocate, 96 points by 

James Suckling, 97 points and “Wine of the 

Year” from Connoisseur’s Guide to California 

Wine, 95 points from Wine Enthusiast and 

96 points from Wine Spectator. This limited 

production wine is available exclusively 

through our hospitality guest center.

Tasting Room of the Week: 

by Michelle J. Baker 

Make a plan this month to visit Ehlers 

Estate, where luscious handmade chocolates 

are sharing the big stage with the winery’s rich 

and delicious estate red wines in their annual 

“Perfectly Paired Wine and Chocolate” event. 

Ehlers Estate’s is honoring this classic 

match all month long, and to partake you just 

need to give the winery a call to set up an 

appointment. You’ll swoon over the pairings, 

which include the Ehlers Estate Cabernet 

Franc with Woodhouse Thai Ginger; the 

Ehlers Estate Cabernet Sauvignon “1886” 

with Woodhouse Honey Chocolate, and the 

Ehlers Estate Merlot with Woodhouse Wild 

Cherry Chocolate. 

It’s a natural to celebrate these two hearthealthy 

palate pleasers at Ehlers Estate, a 

winery whose entire profits go to the Leduqc 

Foundation, a highly regarded, not-for-profit 

foundation dedicated to funding international 

cardiovascular research. 

Jean and Sylviane Leducq first purchased 

the historic Ehlers Vineyard in 1985. By 

2001, the Leducqs had added some neighboring 

vineyard parcels to create an estate of 

more than 40 acres. 

32 

Ehlers Estate 

Today the estate vineyards are planted to 

Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, 

Petit Verdot and Sauvignon Blanc. 

The Ehlers Estate wines are all estategrown 

– the winery doesn’t buy or sell grapes. 

It’s also farmed organically and biodynamically, 

with a full-time, year-round staff of 

about 12 charged with shepherding the fruit 

from vine to bottle. Ehlers Estate’s impressive 

wines are made under the meticulous eye of 

Kevin Morrisey, whose resume includes stints 

at Château Pétrus, the legendary bordeaux 

house in Pomerol, as well as Stags’ Leap 

Winery and Etude. 

The heart of the estate is Bernard Ehlers 

original stone winery, circa 1886, which now 

serves as tasting-central for Ehlers Estate. A 

recent makeover in the tasting room has 

made the place positively cushy, with three 

separate “living rooms” where visitors can sit 

and relax, plus two handcrafted farmhouse 

tables that can accommodate groups up to 

12. 

In addition to private wine tastings at 

Ehlers Estate, currently there are also wine 

and food pairings available and a tour of the 

estate, organic and biodynamic vineyards, 

complete with a stop in the barrel room. Here 

you can taste the future of Ehlers Estate with 

a barrel sample then end with a sit down wine 

and Woodhouse Chocolate pairing that 

includes the very popular and small production 

2008 Cabernet Franc! 

To make a reservation for “Perfectly Paired 

Wine and Chocolate,” which includes a tour 

of the beautiful estate, barrel tasting and a 

small gift box of chocolates, call Ehlers Estate 

at (707) 963-5972.

RAS Galleries 

Even owner Ronda Schaer could not have 

envisioned that her affection for the little 

village of Yountville would someday blossom 

into a full-blown love affair. “This is a town 

that you can get your arms around.” Twenty 

years ago she did just that. With the opening 

of her now famous art gallery, RAS Galleries, 

Ronda has embraced her community and 

graced it with one of its most successful and 

admired businesses. 

It was her passion for art, and glass in 

particular, that moved Ms. Schaer to open a 

gallery. “I have always been drawn to glass.” 

But it was the work of American glass artists 

that really captured her heart. Representing 

more than two hundred American artists, the 

gallery has become one of the premiere 

venues in which to experience the drama, 

imagery and vision of this artistic medium. 

The gallery also features the work of some 

extremely gifted fine artists, with original oil 

paintings from artists throughout California 

and the Pacific Northwest, as well as the 

Eastern Seaboard and point in between. The 

whimsical chefs of ceramic artist, Cynthia 

Hipkiss are also a favorite of collectors. 

Says Ronda, “I created RAsgalleries with a 

singular focus on Original American Art, 

primarily Art Glass, my personal passion. 

And I’m proud that after twenty years in the 

same Yountville, Napa Valley location, the 

passion remains.” 

RASgalleries is located at 6540 Washington 

Street, next to Bouchon in Yountville 

and is open daily from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., 

Tuesday by appointment. Phone (707) 944- 

9211.

When wine touring has tired you out, take a short detour from 

Highway 29 beneath the lofty peak of Mt. St. Helena, for a nature 

break at Old Faithful Geyser of California. 

Centered in a small, grass-hemmed pond, the geyser begins 

coughing puffs of steam which dissolve into the warm afternoon air. 

Then it starts to gurgle and bubble like a witch’s cauldron. Suddenly 

it sends up a few spurts three or four feet high. After a few minutes 

of playful squirting, it erupts. It’s as if someone has opened a fire 

hydrant straight into the sky. A column of 350-degree hot water 


WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | CALISTOGA 

Plan for a Nature Break at Old Faithful Geyer 

spouts from the rocky source, backlit by the sun. As it peaks, the 

steaming water fans out into miniscule droplets that fall like shimmering 

diamond dust then disappears, leaving the pond as calm and 

serene as it was before the show began. 

Hot springs are numerous but there are only a handful of geysers 

in the world that can be relied on to erupt predictably and repeatedly. 

Old Faithful Geyser of California is one of those. 

A series of panels plus a video room explain the mysteries of California’s 

Old Faithful. The geyser is located at 1299 Tubbs Lane off 

Hwy. 29 in Calistoga and is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, 

call (707) 942-6463 or visit www.oldfaithfulgeyser.com.

5th Annual California’s Artisan Cheese Festival 

Saturday night’s “Curds, Cooks & Cuvees” dining event features 

local chef’s cheese-inspired dishes paired with top wines and 

a dessert station that includes soft-serve sundaes. 

The 5th annual California’s Artisan Cheese Festival kicks into high 

gear this year with a slew of new Saturday Seminars, hands-on cheesemaking 

workshops, chef demonstrations, and the bustling sampling 

of new cheeses, foods, wines and brews under the Sunday Marketplace 

tent, plus all of the old favorites that keep attendees coming back 

for more! 

One of our most popular events is Saturday night’s “Curds, Cooks 

& Cuvees” roaming feast. This hot ticket event pairs artisan cheesemakers 

with top wine country chefs for a perfect culinary collaboration. 

To go one step further each incredible dish will be paired with a 

top vintner for a night of complete cheese and wine satisfaction. 

Festival favorite chef Duskie Estes (Zazu and Bovolo) returns to join 

Jeff Mall (Zin Restaurant), Nick Demarest (Harvest Moon), Janine 

Falvo (The Lodge at Carneros) and Sheamus Feeley (Farmstead) to 

create cheese-centric dishes paired with wines from sponsoring winemakers: 

Keller Estate Winery, Handley Cellars, Fortress Vineyards, 

Kokomo Winery, Paul Matthew Vineyards and Sonoma Portworks. 

There will also be a panini 

station that features Laura 

Werlin sampling recipes from 

her upcoming book, Grilled 

Cheese, Please! Laura will be 

pairing her delectable bites 

with wines from Gloria Ferrer 

Winery. 

No dining experience 

would be complete without a 

sweet ending and we will not disappoint. Our dessert station features 

artisan chocolates, dessert wines, port, bubbly, and for the first time 

ever: a Straus Family Creamery soft-serve sundae bar. 

Also ranking high on the most-popular events list in the weekend’s 

lineup is Sunday’s Marketplace. Each year we’ve had to expand the 

tent to accommodate more attendees and this year is no exception. 

More than 65 artisan producers will sample their local hand-crafted 

cheeses, delectable accoutrements, boutique wines and artisan-brewed 

beers. On tap again this year is the popular Mugnaini wood-fired pizza 

oven churning out artisan cheese-topped pies. 

Sunday’s Marketplace also features a variety of chef demonstration 

including Mary Karlin’s Fresh Cheesemaking from her soon to be 

released book, Artisan Cheesemaking at Home and Kristine Kidd 

(former food editor of Bon Appetit) showcasing a recipe from her new 

book, Weeknight Fresh and Fast. Chef Jacquelyn Buchanan, Culinary 

Director of Laura Chenel’s Chèvre, shares secrets of easy recipes with 

goat cheese. 

The weekend lineup of Saturday Seminars features industry leaders 

such as Janet Fletcher, Lassa Skinner, Colette Hatch and Daphne 

Zepos. These interactive, taste-driven seminars offer an array of educational 

topics such as the foundational “Cheese and Wine Pairing” and 

the exploratory “California’s Rare Beauties” to the immensely popular 

“Cheese and Beer” and the 

effervescent, yet sophisticated 

“Bubbles and Brie”. 

New this year is an allday 

farm-to-table Saturday 

Seminar that begins with a 

farm tour and finishes up 

with a hands-on cheesemaking 

class. The Friday 

Karen Preuss, Photography 

Farm Tours continue to be a 

sold-out success of interest to future cheesemakers and inquiring 

cheese lovers. “By inviting our festival guests to visit local dairies and 

cheesemakers, we further the nonprofit festival’s mission to support 

and sustain our state’s daily and agricultural community,” said Lynne 

Devereux, executive director of the festival. 

The festival closes out with Monday’s Trade Day (for professionals; 

invitation only), which features Ruth Reichl sharing her vision of 

cheese in retail, restaurants and homes. Ruth will be interviewed by 

author, consultant, and cheese expert Clark Wolf. 

The full schedule of events is posted on the website and tickets are 

now on sale, www.artisancheesefestival.com/index.html. Follow them

Bubbles for Boobies Event Raises Funds for Breast Cancer 

J. Keverson Winery Launches 2007 Blanc de Noirs 

Sparkling Wine with February Fund Raiser 

J. Keverson Winery in Healdsburg is 

launching their 2007 Blanc de Noirs 

Sparkling Wine on Saturday February 12 

from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., with an appetizer and 

sparkling wine event to raise money for breast 

cancer. 

The entire $25 ticket price for the 

“Bubbles for Boobies” event and the proceeds 

from all bottles of Transitions, their 2007 

Blanc de Noirs Sparkling Wine, will be 

donated by the winery to the Breast Cancer 

Society. 

“Our task was to find a name for our ’07 

sparkling wine,” Diane Hazlewood said. “For 

several reasons we gravitated to “Transition.” 

Our youngest child was off to college and we 

were certainly in a time of transition. During 

the label design my sisters-in-law experienced 

the pain of losing her younger sister to

Sausal Winery’s New Old Vine Zinfandel 

Well new vintage that is. 

Sausal Winery, located in the heart of 

Alexander Valley, has been bottling 

Zinfandel from some of the valley’s oldest 

vines since 1973. What started as one estate 

at Old Vine Zinfandel has now evolved into 

three; each representing the age of the vines 

from which they are produced. 

Presidents Day Weekend, Sausal Winery 

will release the 2008 vintage of their Family 

Old Vine Zinfandel. This wine is produced 

from vines that average 50 years of age. 

These are the youngest of Sausal’s estate 

Zinfandel vines. While you are there, try this 

wine alongside their other estate Zinfandels: 

Sausal Private Reserve Zinfandel from 90 

year old vines and Sausal Century Vines 

Zinfandel from vines over 130 years old. 

And don’t miss the 2006 Sausal Cabernet 

Sauvignon also making its debut Presidents 

Day weekend. 

Sausal Winery is located at 7370 

Sausal Winery’s Presidents Day Release 

February 19-21, 10am -4pm 

Food & Wine Specials 

Highway 128, Healdsburg. Follow Highway 

128 along the eastern edge of the Alexander 

Valley to the winery, then down the winery’s 

driveway to a rustic, barn-red wooden 

building with a trellised porch that houses 

the tasting room. Simple, like the winery, the 

tasting room is not a mini-mall teeming with 

wine country merchandise. There is only 

some nice logo clothing and some sleeping 

and scratching stations that exist for the 

pleasure of the two winery cats, Sophie and 

Gypsie, who wander in and out as the mood 

takes them. What you’re there for is a treasure 

trove of old-vine-Zinfandels, plus some 

Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, all 

from the estate-owned vineyard that 

surround the winery. All the Zinfandels are 

dry-farmed for added fruit intensity and the 

oldest vines are head trained in the traditional 

manner, as you would expect. 

Picnickers are welcome to enjoy themselves 

on a trellised patio shaded by luscious 

grape vines, a traditional Italian touch. The 

winery is located just a few miles east of the 

charming town of Healdsburg. 

For more information, call 1-800-500- 

2285.

Chateau St. Jean & Martha Stewart Weddings® 

Pair Perfectly in 2011 Wedding Season 

Sonoma Winery to Give Away Dream Wedding with Expert Style 

Sonoma’s quintessential winery, Chateau St. Jean, recently 

announced the launch of its Dream Wedding Giveaway sweepstakes, 

where one lucky couple will win the opportunity of a lifetime to celebrate 

their wedding and lavish reception at the Chateau St. Jean property 

in California’s beautiful Sonoma Valley. 

Chateau St. Jean has long been home to elegant weddings and this 

landmark wine estate will set the stage for one couple’s very special 

day. Included in the grand prize is roundtrip airfare to San Francisco, 

five nights of luxurious accommodation, a style consultation with a 

Martha Stewart Weddings ® magazine expert and a Bella Pictures’ 

premium Denis Reggie Experience photography package. In addition, 

all Dream Wedding entrants will be eligible to win one of five $1,000 

Williams-Sonoma gift cards. Interested brides and grooms can enter at 

www.SonomaDreamWedding.com from now until February 28, 

2011. 

“One of most apparent trends we’re seeing in 2011 is the continued 

popularity of destination weddings,” said Darcy Miller, editorial 

director for Martha Stewart Weddings. “A property like Chateau St. 

Jean is the perfect example of a supremely elegant backdrop for any 

bride to stand in front of to say her I dos. We are thrilled that someone 

special will receive this priceless gift this summer and look forward to 

offering them a consultation.” 

The top 20 finalists of the Dream Wedding Giveaway will be 

selected in March, followed by public voting. The winning couple will 

be announced in April with the wedding itself on August 27, 2011. 

“We look forward to working with the winning bride to create an 

extraordinary event at our property that will be perfect for the bride’s 

wedding dreams,” said Margo Van Staaveren, Winemaker & General 

Manager for Chateau St. Jean. “From pairing our wine with the 

wedding menu to determining which colors will pop in our lush 

gardens and landscape, we plan to make this a picturesque and 

memorable day for all involved.”

The second show in the newly inaugurated series Adam Traum 

“Songwriters In Sonoma” is set for Thursday, 

February 17 at 7 p.m. in the Meadowcroft Wines 

(www.meadowcroftwines.com) tasting room at 

23574 Arnold Drive/Highwayy 121 at Cornerstone 

Sonoma. The show will feature singer-songwriters 

Glenn Carter, Jeff Falconer and Adam Traum who 

will be performing in-the-round. Tickets are $10 per 

person and include a glass of wine. Reservations for 

the show may be made by calling the tasting room 

at (707) 934-4090. The Songwriters In Sonoma 

series is booked and hosted by Gerard Serafini, 

owner of Sonoma Valley Music Store. This is a 21and-over 

show. 

“Our first show was a huge success and we are 

looking forward to this series becoming the anchor of all of our future 

music endeavors,” said Tom Meadowcroft, owner and winemaker of 

Meadowcroft Wines. “As the saying goes, ‘it all begins with a song,’ 

which is why we wanted to begin our musical journey with a songwriter 

series.” 

The inspiration behind many of the songs on British singer-songwriter 

Glenn Carter’s recent album “Redwood Road” came after 

meeting and eventually marrying his new Californian wife, Pamela. 

Songs about life, love, failure, joy and humor are what makes this 

eclectic troubadour a must see performer. Johnny Cash, the Beatles, 

Sting, John Mellencamp and James Taylor are a few of the influences 

that have helped Glen hone his songwriting craft. 

Singer-songwriter Jeff Falconer ‘s hope is to give each audience a 

full spectrum experience, acknowledging our human predicament, 

but at the same time highlighting our remarkable ability to self-correct 

by embracing our imperfections and cutting ourselves and each other 

some slack! Falconer, who played his first gig at age eight at the 

Mendocino County Fair, has released three solo CD’s as well as a 

fourth release with his acoustic duo, Jaydub and Dino. 

Adam Traum grew up in a musical family. His father, Happy 

Traum, a mainstay of the Greenwich Village folk scene, turned Adam 

on to blues, bluegrass and folk styles. His present-day influences 

include Ry Cooder, Taj Mahal, John Hiatt, Steve Earle and Mississippi 

John Hurt. He has three instructional DVD guitar lessons on Home-

The Anderson Valley Winegrowers Association will be hosting 

the 6th annual International Alsace Varietals Festival on February 

12th and 13th. Winemakers from around the world will be on hand 

pouring Alsatian varietals including Riesling, Gewurztraminer, 

Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Muscat. Claudia Springs Winery, 

located at mile marker 16 on scenic Highway 128, near the town of 

Navarro has invited two award-winning Michigan wineries to pour 

at a very special open house on Sunday, February 13th from 11 a.m. 

to 5 p.m. 

Sean O’Keefe, Chateau Grand Traverse, and Spencer Stegenga, 

Bowers Harbor Vineyards, will join Claudia Springs winemaker Bob 

Klindt for a day of great wines and food. “We are honored to have two 

of my favorite winemakers join us. It will be a great way for folks to 

try different expressions of the same grapes we have grown here in 

the Anderson Valley for years.” 

Claudia Springs Winery Chef François de Mélogue will prepare 

traditional Alsatian dishes like Choucroute Garni and Flammenkuche 

and innovative Asian dishes designed to dazzle your taste buds. Chef 

de Mélogue said “My grandmother was from Alsace, the region in 

France that has been parts of both Germany and France over the last 

few centuries. An off dry white from Alsace goes exceptionally well 

with the salty tangy sauerkraut in Choucroute.” 

Sean will be pouring his 2009 Ship of Fools Pinot Blanc/Pinot 

Gris/Noir blend, 2008 Lot 49 Riesling, 2008 Pinot Noir Vin Gris and 

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | MENDOCINO/LAKE COUNTIES 

Claudia Springs Welcomes Two Winemakers from Michigan 


2009 Gruner Veltiner. Spencer will be pouring his Block II Dry Riesling, 

and Bob Klindt will be pouring the 2009 Klindt Estate Pinot, his 

double gold winning Viognier from Lolonis Vineyard fruit, several 

Mendocino Zinfandels and a brand new red field blend called 

Vittorio’s Secret. “Early Italian immigrants were pioneers of the California 

Wine Industry. Their favorite grape was Zinfandel, which 

found its way from Croatia via Italy to California. They recognized 

that Zinfandel could often be enhanced with small amounts of 

compatible varietals, and in their wisdom, interplanted them with the 

Zinfandel. Carrignane, Petite Sirah, Grenache, Alicante and Mataro 

were among the favorites. 

When Vittorio Testa planted his vineyard in Calpella more than 50 

years ago he followed this tradition. Amidst the dominate Zinfandel, 

he planted Carrignane and Petite Sirah. However a scattering of 

Grenache and Barbera has also been identified. Who knows what 

other secrets Vittorio’s Vineyard may hold.” 

The open house will occur on February 13th, from 11 a.m. to 5 

p.m. The winemakers will be on hand and delighted to answer any 

questions you may have. The event is open to the public and there 

will be a $5 fee that includes an engraved wine glass used for tasting 

all the wines. Claudia Springs Winery will be offering special one-day 

discounts, barrel samples and more to those attending. 

Chateau Grand Traverse is owned and operated by the O’Keefe 

family (Ed and his two sons, Eddie and Sean). The winery operation 

is a unique blend of talents – as diverse as the characteristics of their 

internationally award-winning family of Riesling and other white 

wine varietals. In 2010, the winery produced some 95,000 cases of 

wine from 120 acres, while purchasing another 60 acres of grapes 

from other growers on Old Mission Peninsula. The winery produces 

three brands of products including Chateau Grand Traverse, Grand 

Traverse Select and Traverse Bay Winery. It is the second largest 

winery in Michigan and often noted as being the largest Riesling wine 

producer east of the Mississippi. 

Bowers Harbor Vineyards is a family run winery located out in the 

city of Traverse City out on Old Mission Peninsula which is an American 

Vitacultural Area or AVA which is recognized throughout the 

world as a premium grape growing appellation. 

Claudia Springs Winery was founded in 1989 by Bob and Claudia 

Klindt in the picturesque Anderson Valley of Mendocino County, 

California. Bob started in 1971 as a home winemaker crafting award 

winning fruit wines before eventually making grape wines and 

purchasing Mila Handley’s house in Philo. Claudia Springs wines are 

made exclusively from Mendocino County vineyards with special 

emphasis on Anderson Valley Appellation grapes. They produce 

estate Pinot Noirs and Pinot Gris from vines planted by Bob and 

Claudia and award-winning single vineyard designated and proprietary 

blended Zinfandels and a limited production Viognier from 

premium family run vineyards in the Redwood Valley and Mendocino 

Ridge (1200 feet above the Pacific Ocean) Appellations.

LIVERMORE | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK 

Barrel Tasting Weekend at Livermore Valley Wineries 

Livermore Valley Winegrowers Host 

Third Annual Barrel Tasting Weekend March 19-20 

More than 30 Livermore Valley wineries will offer samples of 

wines still in development – direct from their barrels – during the 

region’s third annual Barrel Tasting Weekend. Guests with special 

event wristbands and official tasting glasses will receive at least one 

barrel sample at each participating winery. Many winemakers will be 

present to personally pour and discuss their young wines and offer 

delicious pairings with gourmet appetizers, artisan cheeses, chocolate 

and nuts. 

Barrel tasting provides wine enthusiasts of all experience levels 

with a fun “snapshot” of how wine evolves—from grape to glass. 

Guests will have the opportunity to pre-purchase some of the barrel 

wines at a discount, before they are bottled and released to the public 

(a practice known as buying “futures”). More than a dozen different 

varietals, including the rare Primitivo and Alicante Bouschet and 

ever-popular Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, will be offered 

for tasting across the region. 

Barrel Tasting Weekend takes place Saturday, March 19 and 

Sunday, March 20, from noon to 4:30 p.m. each day at more than 30 

participating Livermore Valley wineries located in the East Bay Area 

of Northern California (less than one hour from San Francisco) 

Cost for the event is $30 per person when purchased online at 

www.LVwine.org by March 18. $35 per person at any participating

Mark Your Calendars: Lodi School Street Wine Stroll, April 15 

Ten Life-Size Sculptures by Seward Johnson 

will Grace the Streets of Downtown Lodi 

The 19th annual School Street Wine Stroll 

will be celebrated with the arrival of ten lifesize 

bronze sculptures created by internationally 

known artist, Seward Johnson. The 

sculptures will be placed throughout School 

Street in the historic area of downtown Lodi 

where the Wine Stroll takes place. More than 

25 Lodi wineries will be pouring their wines 

in shops and boutiques on Friday, April 15, 

from 6 to 9 p.m. 

The City of Lodi, through the Arts in 

Public Places Funding, is sponsoring the ten 

sculptures to be placed on School Street in 

downtown Lodi from April 15 to July 15, 

2011. Lodi Arts Advisory Board Member 

Roger Stafford said, “This is an opportunity 

for the Art in Public Places Committee to give 

to the City of Lodi an interactive form of art 

that will be fun and educational. This art 

display also provides an attraction to the 

downtown for Lodi residents of all ages and 

their out of town visitors.” 

The public art exhibit will feature the lifesize 

sculptures off world-renowned artist, 

Seward Johnson. One of America’s most 

beloved sculptors, Johnson recreates life in 

our times in vividly realistic bronze. At 80, 

Johnson has been sculpting life-like figures 

for over 30 years, many of which are nestled 

into the landscapes of public parks and 

private estates. His sense of humor, and affection 

for people, is evident in all of his works 

from the little girls reluctantly sharing an icecream 

cone, to the tenderness of a mother 

reading to her young child. “What I’m trying 

to do is draw attention to the simple pleasures, 

to show how much fun life is. That is 

why there are so many humorous details in 

my work.” Johnson captures moments for us. 

He holds up a mirror for our reflection, and it 

is ultimately one that will make us smile at 

ourselves. Details and photos of the complete 

collection can be found at www.sewardjohnson.com. 

The sculptures are on loan from The 

Sculpture Foundation, a charitable and 

L O D I 

A R E A 


educational organization dedicated to 

providing exhibitions and landmark public 

artworks for communities. Director of the 

Foundation, Paula Stoeke notes, “The Foundation 

is delighted to share these sculptures. 

We hope that the community will embrace 

the artwork and integrate the event into the 

fabric of Lodi, from the classrooms to the 

dinner table conversations.” 

During the School Street Wine Stroll, Lodi 

Appellation wineries will be paired with 

merchants for an evening of wine, food, shopping 

and entertainment. Guests can taste 

award-winning wines, meet the vintners and 

enjoy appetizers provided by hosting 

merchants. Lodi wineries will share their 

special wines and are on hand to discuss their 

vintages. Tickets are $30 in advance, $40 at 

the event; designated driver tickets are $10 in 

advance or $15 at the event. Lodi hotels are 

offering special discounts for overnight visits. 

For additional information or to purchase 

tickets, call (209) 367-7840, ext. 100 or visit

Rain Forest Weekends at 

Roaring Camp Railroad 

Learn about California’s own rain forest … its forests of coastal 

redwoods. Roaring Camp is offering weekend excursions of the Rain 

Forest by rail January 1 to March 27. 

Located in the Santa Cruz Mountains just a few miles from the 

ocean, the forest flourishes in moderate temperatures and a year-round 

water supply provided by frequent Pacific systems and dense fog. 

Roaring Camp CEO Georgiana Clark says, “In winter, California’s 

rain forest is most dramatic. Storms whip branches; foliage glistens; and 

the air is filled with the aroma of California bay laurel and tanbark oak.” 

As guests ride at branch level through a virgin forest by steam train, 

fascinating information about the California coastal redwoods and 

forest eco-system is revealed. 

Trains operate Saturdays and Sundays at 12:30 pm through March 

27th. Tickets are $24 adult, $17 child (2-12 years). Parking is $8. 

Roaring Camp is in Felton, six miles north of Santa Cruz. For information 

and tickets, call (831) 335-4484 or visit the website at 

www.roaringcamp.com.

MONTEREY/CENTRAL COAST | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK 

Tasting Room 

of the Week: Poetic Cellars 

by Laura Ness 

Sometimes, instead of throwing caution to 

the wind, you need to throw your GPS out the 

window and just trust the directions you’ll 

find on a winery’s website. This is one of those 

cases. It will serve you ill to trust the theoretical 

vagueness of misguided engineers at 

takeout-cluttered desks somewhere in Mountain 

View. 

So, before hitting the road, download the 

new iPhone app for the Santa Cruz Mountains 

wineries, or hit the Poetic Cellars website, to 

get the directions to this remarkably easy to 

find little oasis in the middle of blessedly 

untouched territory in the hills above Santa 

Cruz. Literally, it is only 11 minutes off 

Highway 17 from the Vine Hill exit. It only 

feels like forever. You’ll breathe a sigh of 

contented relief as you head down the 

driveway to Poetic Cellars: the scenery is 

lovely, serene and there is an unmistakable 

sense of finally having reached a place that is 

uniquely like no other. 

Welcome to the place where all the wine is 

bottled poetry, and each of the bottles bears 

its own unique poem inspired both by the 

wine inside and the woman who makes 

them. Katy Lovell has been making wine for 

16 years, and enjoys every aspect of the 

process from picking the grapes to creating 

the labels for the bottles. Her partner, Joseph 

Naegele, an attorney by trade, pens poetry 

for each varietal or blend, matching prose to 

the spirit of the grape. 

With eight varieties grown in her Livermore 

vineyard, and three additionally sourced 

from local Santa Cruz Mountains vineyards, 

Katy makes everything from fruit-driven 

Chardonnay and Pinot, to rich, dense Syrah 

and Petite Sirah. Her signature varietal is her 

Mourvedre: intriguingly smoky and sexy, but 

her blends are really growing her fan base. 

The well-decorated winery tasting room 

offers many options for browsing for art, winerelated 

gifts and unique food items, including 

locally sourced Tabitha’s Appropriate Jams and 

B&R Farms apricot products. Open weekends 

from noon to 5pm and by appointment, 

the spacious tasting room and sunny courtyard 

beckons with plenty of tables for relaxed, 

unhurried tastings. 

You’re likely to meet either Katy herself, 

Joseph or Katy’s son, Zach, who helps her with 

forklifting of barrels, topping off, bottling 

labeling and so forth. Son Brett and daughter 

Julie also pitch in to help Mom with the neverending 

set of tasks, including making cute 

cork reindeer at Christmas. Creativity runs 

deep in this family: Katy’s previous careers 

include concert flutist and fiber artist, a talent 

she shares with her mother. 

In fact, for April Passport in the Santa Cruz 

Mountains, two generations of Lovell’s, 

including Katy’s mom, will be exhibiting their 

fiber crafts. 

When not weaving fiber, Katy enjoys 

weaving wine blends, like a poet loves 

Katy Lovell 

polishing off each participle to create the 

perfect wordplay on the page and in your 

mind’s ear. The 2007 Poetic Cellars “Mantra,” 

a delicious blend of 45% Mourvedre, 45% 

Syrah and 10% Sangiovese, is a smooth, 

multi-layered experience of pure pleasure, 

balancing the racy, wild red fruits of the 

Mourvedre with the depth and richness of the 

Syrah. Spritely Sangiovese adds charming 

cherries and buttery smooth tannins to create 

a Mantra worth repeating over and over. This 

may become your favorite Rhone-style wine 

ever! 

Another well-woven gem is the 2007 

Poetic Cellars “Ballad” Bordeaux Blend, equal 

parts of cassis and cigar-laden Cabernet Sauvignon, 

and smooth, dark chocolate Merlot, 

plus 10% Cabernet Franc, which provides the 

perfect balance of power. Low in alcohol, this 

restrained, elegant wine has lovely notes of 

lavender, dark cassis, caraway, cedar and 

tarragon, layered with cured Westphalian 

ham, dark chocolate and intriguing hints of 

spicy green olives. 

Katy will be releasing her newest blend, 

“Serenade,” for the winery’s two-year anniversary 

on Valentine’s Day. Come visit and taste 

bottled poetry for yourself.

Pinot Noir lovers will savor the flavors and explore the magic of the 

Santa Cruz Mountains at the seventh Pinot Paradise festival March 26- 

27. 

Pinot Noirs from the Santa Cruz Mountains represent the diversity 

of micro-climates and dramatic mountain terrain that define the 

region. The marine influence and distinctive soils create intensely 

concentrated fruit that yields some of the most complex and ageworthy 

Pinot Noir in the world. There are six sub-area's in this winegrowing 

appellation – each bearing their own characteristics in their 

wine. 

Sunday, March 27, from 2 to 5 p.m. the Grand Cruz Tasting at 

Villa Ragusa in Old Town in Campbell will showcase more than 60 

Pinot Noirs paired with gourmet hors d’oeuvres from some of the 

region’s best restaurants. Tickets are $55 in advance, $65 at the door. 

Saturday, March 26, Pathway to Pinot Paradise offers a selfguided 

tour of the region’s Pinot-producing wineries. Barrel tasting, 

library wines and special offerings by participating wineries will be 

available. Visitors can enjoy exploring the incredible mountain terrain 

and coastal roads as they discover the delightful world of the Santa 

Cruz Mountains. Tickets are $25. 

Technical Sessions will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. the 27th at 

Villa Ragusa with presentations by wine experts on the challenges of 

growing and producing Pinot Noir in the region. Tickets are $55, 

reservations are required. 

Special Pinot Paradise V.I.P. Packages will offer a guided “tour” in 

a small group format at Villa Ragusa during a private pre-event tasting 

at 1 p.m. followed by the Grand Cruz Tasting. Participants will learn 

in detail about the Santa Cruz Mountains and the distinct flavor 

profiles of each sub-region as they taste and discuss with winemakers 

and/or representatives from the wineries. Cost is $75 and includes the 

Grand Cruz tasting.
