PATRIMOINENotion en constante évolution, lepatrimoine est constitué des ressourcesmatérielles ou immatériellesqu’une collectivité reconnaît pour leurvaleur de témoignage et de mémoirehistorique.Le patrimoine est une richesse collectivedonnant un sens à notre milieu de vie.D’ailleurs, sa conservation intéresse unpublic de plus en plus vaste et sensible. Lepatrimoine représente aussi un atout pourl’économie et le tourisme en raison de sonpouvoir d'attraction.Le patrimoine se décline sous plusieursformes : bâti, paysager, artistique, archéologique,industriel ou naturel. L’urbanistepeut apporter un soutien professionnelconcret à sa conservation et à sa mise envaleur. Son intervention nécessite habituellementla concertation d’une multituded’instances et d’acteurs agissant du niveaulocal ou au-delà.LES INTERVENTIONS DE L'URBANISTEQue ce soit de façon ponctuelle ou d’une manière plus soutenue, l’urbaniste a l’habituded’intervenir sur le patrimoine. En effet, toutes les opérations urbanistiquesconstituent des gestes ayant un impact sur le patrimoine. Par exemple :• planifier l’aménagement du territoire en tenant compte du patrimoine comme levierde développement social, culturel et économique;• analyser et gérer des projets de développement valorisant le patrimoine;• analyser et adapter la réglementation municipale et les dispositions législatives;• évaluer et bonifier des projets de construction s’insérant dans un cadre bâti ancienou ayant un impact sur un patrimoine paysager ou naturel d’intérêt;• évaluer l'intérêt patrimonial de biens et de sites naturels ou construits;• élaborer les outils législatifs et la réglementation municipale permettant d'améliorerla qualité des interventions en milieu patrimonial;• élaborer et coordonner des programmes d’aide et des mesures incitatives favorisantla conservation et la mise en valeur du patrimoine bâti;• œuvrer en concertation avec différents groupes de citoyens et instances décisionnellesquant à la conservation ou à la mise en valeur de bâtiments ou de sitespatrimoniaux;• conseiller, à titre d’expert, des citoyens, des groupes ou des élus en leur présentantdiverses options permettant de conserver et de mettre en valeur le patrimoine.HABILETÉS PROFESSIONNELLESDE L'URBANISTE• Habileté à analyser l’espace comme un lieu d’interactions, reflet de l’histoire deson développement et de la société l’occupant.• Habileté d’analyse et de synthèse lui permettant d’aborder des problématiquescomplexes et de proposer des pistes de solutions assurant la conservation et lamise en valeur des ressources patrimoniales.• Connaissance pratique des cadres législatifs, des outils de planification et deréglementation ainsi que des politiques et programmes en matière depatrimoine.• Aisance à travailler en équipe, dans un contexte multidisciplinaire regroupantdiverses expertises.• Habilités de communication verbale et écrite permettant de transmettreefficacement les enjeux patrimoniaux aux différents intervenants, decomprendre et de discuter de façon constructive des positions défendues parles groupes de citoyens, les élus ou les promoteurs.• Maîtrise des technologies de l’information notamment visuelles à des fins deprésentation et de discussion.PATRIMOINELES EMPLOYEURS POTENTIELSGouvernement fédéral et ses mandataires : Société canadienne d’hypothèques et delogement (SCHL) et divers ministères, agences gouvernementales et mandatairesGouvernement provincial et ses mandataires : Ministère des Affaires municipales et desRégions (MAMR), Société d’habitation du Québec (SHQ), Régie du Logement et diversministères, agences gouvernementales et organismes mandatairesCentres de recherche et enseignement universitaireGouvernements régionaux et locaux : Villes, municipalités locales, municipalitésrégionales de comté, Communautés métropolitaines et sociétés paramunicipalesSecteur privé : Firmes d’experts conseils en urbanisme, en architecture, promoteurs,constructeurs et gestionnaires de parcs immobiliersSecteur communautaire : Associations, regroupements de citoyens et organismes dedéveloppement touristique et culturelSecteur international : Regroupements internationaux en environnement et endéveloppement durable – Organisations de développement international et d’aide aux paysen développement (ICOMOS, UNESCO, OCDE, les Nations Unies (FAO – PNUD), ACDI,SUCO, Banque mondiale, etc.)QUELQUES EXEMPLES• Revitalisation du quartier Saint-Roch àQuébec• Reconstruction du site des anciennesusines Angus• Réalisation et mise en œuvre de lapolitique du patrimoine de Montréal• Réhabilitation et transformation du sitede la gare Jean-Talon• Programme particulier d’urbanisme dela Ville de Saint-Jérôme• Réseau Villes et villages d’art et depatrimoine• Participation à l’élaboration d’unecharte du paysage• Études et mémoires sur le patrimoinereligieux par des OBNL• Conception et rédaction de guidespatrimoniaux des régions du Québec

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 rby Len NapolitanoHow do I conduct a wine tasting at home?Wine-themed parties, or dinners, are a great way to explore newwines while socializing with others who enjoy wines as much asyou do. While a wine tasting dinner should plan courses that pairwith specific wines, a basic wine tasting at home does notnecessarily have to include dinner. At a minimum, a few simpleitems should be available to eat.More important than whether or not a formal dinner is served isdeciding how to feature the wines. One popular approach is toassign each guest, or couple, a specific type of wine to bring. Forexample, ask one to bring a Santa Barbara Pinot Noir, and another aSonoma Chardonnay, or Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. The guests canchoose the specific producer and price level but you may want toestablish a price range for everyone to work within. As an option,you could provide all the wines for the night. In either case, allwines should be shared among all guests. Bottles should be placedin full view on a main table for guests to pour for themselves. Handeveryone a glass and remind them to take small samples so that thewines get distributed as evenly as possible.It's a good idea to create a theme for the tasting. It could be tofocus on white wines from a specific country or wine region, or redwines from a particular vintage. It’s really up to you how narrowyou want the theme to be. For example, you could ask some gueststo bring a specific varietal from a specific region and other guests tobring the same varietal wine from a neighboring region, or differentcountry. Your guests will enjoy getting their “assignments.”Comparing the wines by tasting can be as entertaining as the storiessome will tell about their search for the wines.Once deciding on a theme, plan some food to go with the wines.If you’re uncertain about what to serve, or want to keep thingssimple, just provide bread, crackers and a variety of cheeses ormeats. If you want to offer more than the just these basics, bedaring. Don’t be afraid to experiment with a broad range of smalldishes, hot and cold. With a nice selection of wines being broughtto the party, you’re bound to find a few great pairings with the foodamong all the possible combinations. It’s especially rewarding whensomeone has a wine and food epiphany at your party!Another approach is to give a “blind” wine tasting party. A blindtasting is when you or your guests don’t know in advance whatwines are being served. Here, guests arrive at the party with theirassigned bottles already inside bags that hide the entire bottleexcept for the opening. Assign guests a number and have themwrite it on the outside of the bag, easy for people to see. Once allwines are on the table, the only information about the wine given toguests is whether it is red or white (you can designate separatewhite wine and red wine tables.) The varietal, brand or appellationof the wine should remain unknown to everyone except the personwho brought it. Allow two hours for everyone to taste all the winesand to give each wine a rating from 1 to 10 on a personal score cardthat you create and provide in advance. Then, starting with winenumber one, take everyone’s scores and add them up for each wineto determine the highest scoring wine of the night. You can alsovote for best white wine, best red wine and even worst wine of thenight. The most exciting moment comes when the bags areremoved and labels revealed. That’s when the discussion really getsspirited!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 contactwith California winemakers.

It is here where your adventure begins and with so manyunique options, it’s easy to spend an afternoon enjoying their wine,food and impressive art collection.The Hess Collection was founded by Swiss entrepreneur DonaldHess, who first purchased vineyards on Mount Veeder in 1978.Later he leased the winery buildings from The Christian Brothersand after a long restoration, the winery opened in 1989. Just as hisprominent art collection adorns the gallery walls, their winemakersare given the same free expression to produce exceptional wines.The Hess Collection Mount Veeder estate wines represent theunique mountain climate and are distinguished for their complexity,structure and elegance. There are more than 900 acres here,however only 300 acres are farmed. Scattered throughout thehillsides, you can see their 200 small blocks of grapes planted in themost suitable conditions for each varietal.

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEKVenture Off of the Beaten Pathto Bennett Lane Winery for aTaste of Calistoga CabernetBENNETT LANE WINERYOpen daily from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.3340 Highway 128, just over two miles north of Calistogawww.bennettlane.com | (707) 942-6684 | 1-877-MAX-NAPAAs the warmth of summer days roll into Napa Valley, a fool-proof way tomake the most of the season is a day spent at the Bennett Lane Winery inCalistoga. One of our favorite stops every year, Bennett Lane is known for itssucculent Cabernets, their signature “feasting wine”, Maximus, and for one ofthe finest visitor experiences in the valley. Founded by Randy and Lisa Lynch in2003, Bennett Lane’s off-the-beaten track location and friendly tasting roomoffers visitors to Napa a “secret gem” and a great way to learn about – and try –some of Napa’s best wines in a more intimate setting.Bennett Lane’s Cabs have continuously garnered critical acclaim. In theshort period that the winery has been open they have received an incredible 33scores of 90+ Points between Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and RobertParker’s Wine Advocate. Just last year, the 2008 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignonscored 93 Points from Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points from Robert Parker’s WineAdvocate, and 91 Points from Wine Spectator. Year after year the popular blendof Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah has won accolades from critics and visitors alike.The “red feasting wine,” as Maximus is affectionately referred to on the label,demonstrates owners Randy and Lisa Lynch’s commitment to making wine anintegral part of entertaining with family and friends. The current vintage of2008 is available in the tasting room and earned an impressive 94 points fromWine Enthusiast – at $35 per bottle this is the best deal in the valley.Bennett Lane’s wines are crafted to be approachable, yet complex – or whatowner Randy Lynch calls “the best of both worlds, meaning you can drinkthem today, but they are structured enough to cellar for several years. My goalis for us to make consistent wines – both in quality and taste – from year toyear, so that consumers can trust Bennett Lane wines,” he says.Only eight years old, Bennett Lane has quickly become one of the topvintners in the valley and has upgraded their tasting room to match theamazing accolades that the wines have received in their first few years. It is fastbecoming the must see destination for wine lovers visiting California’s newestAVA of Calistoga. In addition to the new elegantly appointed tasting bar, theyare premiering their new custom ipad application for their guests to use for aninteractive tasting experience. Guests can not only read the latest reviews andtasting notes – but find interesting food pairing recipes, share their favorite newwines on facebook, and email their personal wine notes home, all while tastinga glass of Napa’s finest. Owner Randy Lynch notes; “As a small winery we striveto not only make the best hand crafted wines available, but also one of themost educational and enjoyable tasting experiences around for guests comingto visit one of the premier wine growing regions in the world.”The tasting flight at Bennett Lane is $15 and includes four of Bennett Lane’swines, the Cabernet, Reserve Chardonnay, Maximus and Merlot. We encourageyou to put Bennett Lane on your short-list of must-visit tasting rooms as theproduction is small and the Cabernets sell out quickly. Visiting Bennett Laneaffords tasters another rarity with a small winery – a likely run-in (and perhapsa last minute barrel tasting if you’re lucky!) with owners Randy and Lisa Lynch.Bennett Lane Winery is located in an understated Mediterranean-stylebuilding at the secluded and beautiful northern end of the Napa Valley, and isconsidered well worth the drive.24 www.WineCountryThisWeek.com

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEKPRAGER WINERY & PORT WORKSopen by appointment only, daily from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.1281 lewelling lane St. helena, cA 94574(707) 963-7678 | www.pragerport.comPhil M.Visited the Prager Winery today. Came all the way fromPennsylvania. All the wines we tasted were outstanding and ourhost was extremely gracious. We’ll definitely be back.28WINEMAKER PROFILE: PRAGER WINERY & PORT WORKSPETER PRAGERMaking Wines Few Winemakers Dare AttemptBY JoSh SteinImagine being a teenager and being told your father’s “midlife crisis” was relocating thefamily from Orange County to the Napa Valley, where through perseverance and effort bythe whole family, the creation of some of the finest New World ports was the result?Sounds like the makings of a movie, right? Well, actually, welcome to just the start of thestory that is Peter Prager’s thirty-five years in the wine business. Napa is world-known forits winemakers’ dry wines; however, almost no one has turned those techniques toproducing the same kind of range of sweet wines – except for Jim and now Peter Prager,that is, who have used that same fine winemakers’ eye for detail but applied in a differentfashion, honoring the tradition of long-lived, long-aging, always-representative-of-thevintageport wines. And not just with one or two. How about six, ranging from dry tooff-dry to sweet, displaying the ability of port wines to pair with a wide range of cuisines.Jim Prager’s first crush took place in an 1865-built carriage house on their property insouth St. Helena. Their first releases were Cabernet, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, and theNoble Companion Cabernet Port – all 120 cases of it – in 1979. To this day, everyone atthe winery is a Prager by birth or marriage, and while Generation One is nowcomfortably retired, Generations Two run all aspects with Three – all twenty-two ofthem – quickly growing in the wings. The General Manager is brother Jeff; brother Johnmanages the tasting room and the winery’s distribution. Sister Mary coordinates the wineclub, and her husband, Richard, is Cellar Master. Sister Katie is CFO, and brother Peteris winemaker.Peter himself went to Frenso State for his degree in enology, finishing just as Jim wasstepping back from his responsibilities in 1995. Peter makes a range of wines beyond thenorm, not just for Napa wine but for North American wine. Now available are three tablewines and six ports, presenting the full array of what’s possible with this winemakingphilosophy, though each is no more than about eight hundred cases of production. Thelong-aging Royal Escort Port (and the only released in special years Royal Escort VintagePort) is made from Petite Sirah, and the Noble Companion Tawny Port, aged for morethan a decade in oak, is ready for drinking right away. The Tomas Port is made from thePortuguese varietals Tinto Cao, Touriga and Tinta Roriz, which are almost never seen inCalifornia. Going even further into rare production territory, the Aria White Port is madefrom Chardonnay, and the Alyssa Golden Dry Port – you read that right – is made fromthe white Verdelho grape. The still wines are equally out of the ordinary: Petite Sirah andtwo late-harvest Rieslings, the fruity and crisp “Sweet Claire” and the lightly fortified“Madeline.”As I’m sure you can tell, the Prager wines are unlike anything in the Valley, and thePrager tasting experience is beyond the norm, too. I don’t want to give everything away,but several totally unique tasting room displays await visitors, as does explanation of thefortification process and how and why the Pragers produce “the least sweet ports inCalifornia.” Believe it or not, it’s possible to produce dry and off-dry ports, but you haveto visit the winery to find out the secrets of this process from the makers themselves. Iwill say this: bring a bill or two of local currency with you; it will add to the ambianceand the experience of talking to the family about their wines. Do yourself a favor and“step off the beaten path” just south of St. Helena – you’ll be glad you did. Enjoy!Follow us on Twitter @WineCountryTW

The Rombauer philosophy is the “Joy ofWine” – crafting releases meant to pair with meals, echoing great-Aunt IrmaRombauer’s belief that the joy of life is the pursuit of what is best to taste and enjoy.Now at year thirty-two, and known for decades as a Napa Valley “must visit,” it’s clearto see – and taste – that they’ve found a winning formula. How? By keeping theemphasis on what matters: drinkable wines and an enjoyable experience – the foodand the people matter most, not the attitude!The winery itself is on the north end of the Silverado Trail, giving a fun drive andshowing off glorious views and uncrowded experiences on the “road less travelled.”The hilltop winery and tasting room, looking out over the heritage Zindandelvineyard visitors drive through along the way, are built over more than a mile’s worthof caves dug into the hillside. Picnic tables and a trellised gazebo confirm whatmatters most: relaxed enjoyment. Tastings are available daily at three separate tastingbars in the tasting room, as is the self-guided garden stroll through the more than onehundred plant and flower species, and the views of the Mayacamas are photo-worthy,for sure. Two different flights, current releases and proprietary, winery-only releasesawait.The wines are just as much a standout as the views, and fitting in with their m.o.,the Rombauers really have thought through the logistics of pairing wine and food, notjust in terms of varietals but also in offering multiple bottle sizes, ranging from 375millimeter half-bottles, to the standard 750 bottle we all know so well, to 1.5-litermagums and even larger formats for occasions requiring something extra special.What awaits is their Carneros Chardonnay, Merlot, Zinfandels, vineyard-selectCabernets and Le Meilleur du Chai – “the best of the cellar.” There are also two terrificsweets, a Zinfandel Port and the Late Harvest Chardonnay known simply andunsurprisingly as Joy.Visitors in search of the “real” Napa experience need look no further.

NAPA VALLEY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEKZD WINESopen daily 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. | tours are by appointment8383 Silverado trail in rutherford1-800-487-7757 | www.zdwines.com | facebook and twitterZD WINES Zero Defects, Guaranteed!BY JoSh SteinLong before Napa was world famous, wine country had its intrinsicappeals: a slow pace of gradual movement, an appreciation for the Valley’senvirons, working with and not against nature. That feeling ofconnectedness is what ZD’s tasting room and various tasting experiences aredesigned to let you feel for yourself.ZD stands not only for its founders’ initials but also for “Zero Defects,”which aptly describes not just the wines but the time spent at this perfectplace in the heart of the Silverado Trail. Norman deLeuze, and partner, GinoZepponi – the “ZD” in ZD Wines – were two aerospace engineers with a loveof Pinot Noir and Chardonnay who received the first new Sonoma Countypermit in decades when they fell in love with Carneros in the 1970s. Thisnew winery permit allowed the multiple-generation family winery to thrivethis long because they know how to take the best the Valley gives them andput it into the bottle for others to enjoy, as is evinced by the wall of awardstucked discreetly to the side in the tasting room.ZD are producers of more-than-excellent Cabernet, Chardonnay andPinot Noir – plus some very special winery-only bottlings, known as theRosa Lee “Whims,” including, at various times, releases of Barbera, Malbec,Muscat Canelli, Mourvèdre, Petit Sirah, Pinot Grigio, Riesling and Viognier –the newest is a delicious and not-to-be-missed Grenache Rosé. In 1992, ZDintroduced Abacus – a solera-style multi-vintage blend of every ZD ReserveCabernet Sauvignon ever produced, which is held in the barrel untilbottling. Every year since, a limited amount is bottled and that year’s newvintage Reserve Cabernet is added back to the barrels.ZD Wines offers special tours and tastings by appointment only. Weatherpermitting,the Eco Tour provides the opportunity for conversation aboutthe ZD estate and its practices. As you walk the perimeter of the property,you are exposed to all the various ways in which ZD and its people act asconservators: organic farming, cover crops, insectiaries, owl boxes,composting and vermicomposting, use of biodiesel for all equipment, hybridvehicles for everyone, solar panels, waste reduction, water recycling andhigh efficiency use, four-stage chilling to match power to task at hand, andon and on. The winery even pays employees a daily incentive to carpool!Equally, the Private Group Tasting provides a relaxed experience wheregroups of eight or more people can enjoy a private tasting of ZD’s classicwines in the cellar, and the Cellar Tour and Tasting allows visitors to enjoyseveral current vintage and reserve wines with a private guided tour throughthe cellar and a sampling of wine maturing in the barrel. Most enjoyably, theVineyard View Tasting provides a selection of current, reserve and librarywines in crystal stemware in the eponymous room with its west-Valley-facingfloor-to-ceiling windowed space and exterior deck above the crushpad at thetop of the winery. From there, you can see almost all of the property as youenjoy the wines complemented by artisan cheeses and finished with adecadent chocolate truffle.Last but not least, like many others, ZD has a wine club, called FirstTaste, but unlike other clubs, you select what, when, and how much you’dlike sent. That guarantees the club members don’t just feel special at thewinery and makes sure there are zero defects in every shipment. And thatreally sums up the ZD Wines experience: everything has been tastefully andthoughtfully been considered ahead of time, guaranteeing your time isenjoyably well spent.

SONOMA COUNTY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEKTASTING ROOM OF THE WEEK52SODA ROCK WINERY8015 highway 128, just outside of healdsburgopen daily for tasting from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.www.sodarockwinery.com | (707) 433-3303SODA ROCK WINERYBY SUe StrAight, the Wine WenchOne of Alexander Valley’s newest, yet oldest wineries awaitsyou. Let me explain – Soda Rock Winery was originallyconstructed back in 1869, the Alamo-like stone façade was addedin 1943, but the new-and-improved Soda Rock Winery made itsdebut in December of 2011.This wonderful place is an eclectic blend of old-meets-new.The main building that houses the tasting bar and lounge oozeshistory – the rough-hewn stone façade (featured front and center)outside of the building is your first clue. Once inside the large,airy tasting room and lounge, with its exposed brick walls andredwood beams, you almost expect to hear the chink-chink ofspurs as cowboys and farmers mosey up to the long antique barfor a drink.The contemporary touches in and around the tasting bar andlounge include stained cement floors all throughout the structuresand sleek, modern-looking buildings that house the winery andevent facility. There are large pieces of art displayed around thetasting bar and a cozy sectional takes up one corner of the room.There are tables and chairs scattered about the room and stoolsare lined along the bar. You’ll want to relax and stay a while.Looking to host a wedding, private party or corporate event?Soda Rock Winery should definitely be on your list of venues tocheck out! In addition to having have a licensed weddingcoordinator on staff, their large event facility accommodates up to250 people and the smaller, more intimate Vineyard Room canaccommodate up to 50 people. The beautifully landscaped picnicarea and surrounding grounds are also available for private events.For visitors who would like to prolong their Soda Rockexperience, there are four luxuriously appointed guest suites onsite as well.The main focus in the tasting bar and lounge is the wine.There are a few t-shirts and other chatchkes available, but you’llwant to sit down, take some deep sniffs and sips and thoroughlyexperience the wines – they are really good! I tasted a few winesduring my visit and enjoyed them all. My favorites were thefollowing:2009 Reserve Chardonnay, ($36) – I am usually a card-carryingmember of the ABC (Anything But Chardonnay) club, but thisclassic beauty totally swayed my opinion! Mouthwatering aromasof buttered toast, vanilla and citrus delight the nose and continueas flavors in the richly textured, juicy mouthfeel.2006 Cabernet Sauvignon “The General” ($50) – Wow!What a gorgeous Cab! Black cherry, cassis, orange peel and spicebox aromas lure the taster into a luscious mouthful of consistentflavors, which linger through the long, delicious finish.www.WineCountryThisWeek.com
