INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER


BY LEN NAPOLITANO

What is hang time?


You may be tempted to think that hang time refers to how long you stand at the tasting room bar while sipping through the wine list. However, in the wine-growing world it can also be a subject of pride, but, thankfully, for a more meaningful reason. Hang time is all about grape ripeness. With trends toward more concentrated, bolder and more alcoholic red wines over the last decade, winegrowers work hard at choosing when to pick grapes at harvest so that they get the ripest grapes possible, without being overripe, or with too high a sugar level. Allowing grapes to hang on the vine longer before picking can add fine qualities to a wine, but its not without risk. Relatively speaking, very ripe grapes produce a very high sugar level, which ferments to a very high alcohol level. But while sugar levels, measured on a scale called Brix, rise inside the grape, the acidity decreases. Acidity is important because its what gives a wine freshness and a lively fruitiness. So, achieving the optimal balance of sugar and acidity at the time the grapes are picked is generally the primary objective. Grapes are typically picked when Brix readings are anywhere between 22 and 28 degrees, depending on the grape variety and the desires of the winemaker. Waiting for higher sugar levels means the possibility of the grapes becoming overripe, causing an unpleasant quality in the wine or else problems with fermentations that tend to be slow, or stop altogether. So, if you think of the growing season as the amount of time grapes remain on the vine, from bud break in the spring to picking time at harvest, then hang time is generally defined as the amount of time grapes remain on the vine after reaching a sugar level of about 24 Brix. Wine regions with warm but not very hot days and cool afternoons and evenings, like Monterey County, have a longer growing season than warmer regions up to a month longer when you take into consideration early budding and late ripening. They are therefore capable of enjoying more hang time for the grapes. Stretching out the growing season allows the grapes to develop more intense flavor, color and complexity, characteristics of great wines. Although measuring ripeness has been debated over the years, most people rely upon scientific measurements of sugar, acid and pH levels in the grapes. Others simply taste and examine the berries, seeds and skins, checking for physiological maturity. Regardless of how it is measured, there is little disagreement among winemakers as to the value of grape hang time and its impact on their grapes.

BY JOSH STEIN

Cork: Noble, Age-Old Guardian or Ancestor Needing Improvement?


It seems like at least one in every three conversations I have with people in the wine trade, whatever the ostensible reason for the chat was, ends up discussing cork and its alternatives. With more than four billion bottles domestically purchased last year, youd think this would be a settled issue, but, alas, the inverse is true: the more wine we make and sell, the more options of bottle enclosures we have, not less, and some packaging solutions dont even involve bottles or enclosures as we normally think of them at all! Cork for an enclosure rose naturally enough given its the bark of different species of oak trees, and oak is one of the traditional woods for barrel staves, so it makes sense to get the most out of whats already being used; farmers are well known for frugality and lack of waste. What is not so well known is that it takes almost three decades of growth and several bark harvests, separated by seven years or more, before the first true harvesting of premium cork-level material is possible. Cork is one hundred percent natural, but its long lag time makes it less than ideal in todays global, accelerated wine world. Thus have evolved a number of alternatives to the pure, grade one cork, which, not incidentally, can run most of a dollar each even when purchasing large volumes. The simplest of these other options involve different forms of the same natural cork but in combination with various stabilizers to allow smaller pieces of cork to be formed into the standard wine cork shape. Known as technical or agglomerated corks, these provide an affordable solution which gives most of the same oxygen transmission and enclosure performance at a much more affordable cost. A middle ground between these two comes by way of the sparklng wine producer, whose corks require a special shape and performance because of the extra pressure from bottle fermentation; their most common cork uses two disks of natural cork on the stalk of the mushroom with agglomerated technical cork making up the cap of the remainder. The still wines twin top does the same thing, but with a disk on both ends and technical cork sandwiched between. Maintaining the shape but substituting alternate materials entirely are a vast range of wholely artificial extruded corks made of various food grade plastics and silicons. Moving away from a wine cork shape altogether takes us to the twist top, more formally known as the Stelvin enclosure; a liner can be employed to precisely control the oxygen transmission rate, but there is no head-turning thunk of the pulled cork. There is also the Zork, which combines artificial materials with an unwrapping process, and glass stoppers, which work best as a cork stopper replacement except for one thing: the O-ring necessary to mate the glass stopper with the glass bottle is the crucial element in how effective the stopper is. As you can see, while the common wisdom is that once the grapes are in and the aging in barrel is done all the problems are over, the reality is that until the wine is in your mouth, there are decisions to make and potential problems to avoid every step along the way. No enclosure solves all the problems, and the best option, the traditional all-cork cork, is not inexpensive; there are lots of more affordable alternatives, but each lacks something, making it less than ideal as a replacement. Keep that in mnd the next time you reach for your opener and enjoy!

Sip, Savor and Enjoy BV Wines Responsibly. 2012 BEAULIEU VINEYARD, RUTHERFORD, CA

During a wine tasting at Beaulieu Vineyard, you will not only experience todays great wines, you will also gain an understanding of how the wine business has evolved in the past fifty years and in the fifty years before that. In 1900, Georges and Fernande de Latour visited Rutherford, which Fernande declared a beau lieu, or beautiful place. Georges founded Beaulieu Vineyard in the red dust of Rutherford to create wines as great as, or even greater than, Frances best. BV was able to stay in business during Prohibition by producing sacramental wine for San Franciscos Catholic churches. In 1938, Georges brought Andr Tchelistcheff to the BV team. Known as the Maestro, Andr was arguably the winemaker most responsible for the Napa style made so famous in the 1970s and 1980s. Among many innovations, he introduced cold fermentation for white wines, secondary malolactic fermentation via inoculation for reds and the use of small French oak barrels for aging. He also produced Napas first cult wine, the Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. Since that time, BV has continued to innovate. In 2008, a winerywithin-a-winery was created to craft the small-lot reserve bottlings. This strategy, like many others pioneered by BV, has been emulated by a number of other wineries. BV produces a wide range of wines. Besides the Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, the Reserve series offers Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and the Tapestry red blend. The BV Napa flight includes Cabernet Sauvignon and

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

POPE VALLEY WINERY


Great Wines the Old Napa Way
BY JOSH STEIN

Monday - Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 6613 Pope Valley Road, Pope Valley CA 94567 USA (707) 965-1246 | www.popevalleywinery.com

Napa isnt just one big name after another on Highway 29; most of the grapes made into wine are grown elsewhere, in considerably more bucolic settings. In fact, some wineries, special places far from limos and crowds, do their thing amongst the vines, alongside of the surroundings and not removed. Pope Valley Winery is what these latter places have used as their touchstone for decades, and its still making wines the way it did a century ago. Winding through picturesque fields, undulating vineyards and oakstudded hills, one gets the feeling of being transported back in time heading northeast away from the Silverado Trail. Originally called Locallomes after the Indians who first settled the Valley, the name was changed to Pope Valley after Julian Pope was given a land grant to the area by the Mexican government. After the governor signed it, Julian Pope paid twenty-five cents and Pope Valley became his, semi-isolated but within easy distance to the rest of the wider Napa Valley. The Pope Valley Winery was founded in 1897 as the Burgundy Winery & Olive Factory by Ed Haus. The original farmhouse still graces the property, as well as a blacksmiths workshop, complete with the tools of the trade. The winery itself is housed in an historic building that was designed, before electricity was brought to the site, to utilize the slope of the hill to move the grapes through the process of becoming fine wine. It was fashioned as a three-story gravitational flow winery with a handdug cave (taking, incidentally, nine years to complete without mechanization) to allow the wine to flow from crusher, to press, to barrel. The winerys vineyards include more than eighty acres planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Chenin Blanc, Merlot, Sangiovese and Zinfandel.

The Eakle family now runs the winery and produces 5,000 cases of wine a year from estate-grown fruit, with some from vines that are nearly seventy years old. Currently, siblings David Eakle as winemaker and Diana Eakle Hawkins as general manager are making great strides in bringing Pope Valley Winery to the next level of quality, distinction and recognition. Their efforts, along with consulting winemaker Shaun Richardson, have recently paid off at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, where the 2010 Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and the 2010 Merlot Eakle Ranch both took Best in Class, and the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Eakle Ranch and 2010 Sparkling Blanc de Blancs also scored well. In addition, the Eakles also produce bottlings of Sangiovese, Sangiovese Ros, Zinfandel, Zinfandel Port, and a very rare Old Vine Chenin Blanc. The tasting room next to the winery is welcoming and without pretense, offering a number of limited production, wineryonly releases. There are special group or lunch tastings available by appointment, and the winery has picnic grounds, a bocce ball court and a horseshoe pit for guests enjoyment as well as brie and crackers for sale to pair with the wines. Wine flights are complimentary and no appointments are needed for groups under eight. The goal is not just to provide an escape from the rest of the Valley but to actually make you forget there is anywhere else at all. As you can tell, Pope Valley the area and Pope Valley the winery are very much alike: both are the true, authentic Old Napa which so

many people come to in search of. Well, like all good things, it takes a bit of time, a willingness to step away from where everyone is headed, in order to find, but when you do, the results are all you imagined and more. Head up and to the right and go taste for yourself why Pope Valley Winery has been making quite a name for itself by doing things in a time-tested, unpretentious way. Enjoy!

Monticello Vineyards corley Family Winery


BY MICHELLE J. BAKER

The year was 1969. Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the moon; the New York Mets were on their way to their first National League pennant; Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was topping the years box office sales. And an intrepid young Midwesterner, yearning to answer the call of his ancestors, was scouring Napa Valley for the perfect piece of land on which to plant the family flag. Now, on the eve of Jay Corleys 81st birthday, he looks back at his 40+ years in the Napa Valley and looks forward to the next generations taking the reins of the Corley Familys Monticello Vineyards

A Dream Takes Root

In 1969, the Stanford-educated Corley was a running a successful publicly traded company in Los Angeles, but wanted to trade his three-piece suit for overalls. After all, Recent Accolades farming was in his blood. Every generation of April 2013 Issue of the Wine Enthusiast: The Next Generation 2009 Corley Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon my family for 400 years has been farmers. As - 93 points and "Cellar Selection" a boy, I loved spending time on my Things went well enough those first years 2009 Corley "State Lane" Cabernet Sauvignon grandfathers farm in southern Illinois. I just to make Corley think, we can do this. Soon - 93 points and "Cellar Selection" always wanted to get back to farming. the successful winegrower wanted to build a 2009 "Tietjen Vineyard" Cabernet Sauvignon At the time, Corleys friend, a wine shop winery. As an graduate student years earlier, - 92 points owner in Los Angeles, was developing a piece Corley had written a thesis on starting up a 2009 Corley "Yewell Vineyard" Cabernet Sauvignon - 91 points and "Cellar Selection" of property in Yountville. He invited Corley to winery. He opened his desk drawer, dusted off come for a visit, and Corley was hooked. I the old thesis and got started. would come up nearly every weekend for nine months to see what All seven of Corleys children helped out at the winery during their was going on here. I would just roam around, get to know people, high school years. But Corley encouraged them to go off, experience ask questions. There werent many people around, but the ones who the world outside of the winery where they had grown up, and then

were, as Corley ticks off the names of contemporary Napa Valley pioneers, were very helpful. A self-described Burgundy guy with a taste for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Corley was looking for a place where those varieties would thrive. He found it in an 80-acre prune orchard at the southern end of Napa Valley. He liked the propertys proximity to the cooling breezes of the San Pablo Bay and the fact that it sat next to the Napa River. I didnt think of being on Highway 29 to capture visitors, I wanted to be on the river because I knew access to water would be essential. Once the property was cleaned up, Corley didnt cut corners planting the vineyard. We used all of the new technology coming out of Davis. We tested the soil everywhere, and we drilled holes in the ground to see how the water was flowing. Then we planted the vines closer together than most people were doing in those days to stress them.

come back if they wanted. Kevin Corley, now Winegrower and President, became a successful banker in Los Angeles. Stephen Corley, now the winerys Director of Sales and Marketing, was a CPA who worked at the accounting firm KPMG before he came back to the winery in 1997. Chris Corley, the youngest of the three, has worked at the winery the longest. Initially aiming to be a marine biologist, Chris eventually decided he would rather drown in wine than sea water. He worked in the cellar under other winemakers for 13 years before he earned enough stripes to become head winemaker in 2002. Now the three brothers form a harmonious management team. Three of them is better than one of me, says the senior Corley.

The Jefferson Connection


Jay Corley was a great admirer of Thomas Jefferson, who was not only a founding father but also Americas first great connoisseur. He

honored the third President by naming the winery Monticello Vineyards after Jeffersons mountaintop home in Charlottesville, Virginia. In 1984, the Corleys built the Jefferson House, a very close replica of Monticello, on the Home Ranch that is now used as office space and to entertain guests. The four acres of grounds surrounding the Jefferson House are comprised of the same trees, shrubs and flowers Thomas Jefferson planted at Monticello. In the quaint, rustic tasting room, the staff pours a little bit of everything the Corleys produce from 80 acres of vines on the Home Ranch in the Oak Knoll District as well as four other estate vineyards in Napa Valley. With 30 vintages under their belts, the Corleys like to show off their library wines in reserve tastings in the Jefferson House. Slip into the comfortable black leather chairs and enjoy a flight of Cabernet Sauvignon, some Merlot, or their very popular estate Pinot Noir. People come for our Cabernet Sauvignon, Stephen Corley says, but they leave with Cabernet and Pinot Noir.

Suisun Valley & Vezr Family Wines are appealing to a New Bolder & More confident Wine connoisseur
Todays wine connoisseur has grown up with wine no longer being a sought-after culture, but a sheer household necessity. They no longer depend on adolescent movies in order to determine what wine is politically correct to drink. They are even very skeptical of well-known magazine scores that tend to give better grades to more frequent advertisers and Frenchy wines. The new, bold connoisseurs are far more confident they know exactly what they like and what they dont. These connoisseurs are also looking for something different: different blends, different appellations and more boutique-style wines that are handcrafted and hand pushed, small-lot wines. Suisun Valley is often referred to as The Napa Back Road. Quite surprisingly, The Napa Back Road only takes about 20 minutes from the Highway 121 Napa entrance of the Silverado Trail to The Vezr Family Blue Victorian Winery, just one of 18 wineries in the Suisun appellation. Better yet, there is only one traffic light between Silverado Trail and Suisun Valley. As these new wine connoisseurs become club members of the boutique wineries in lesser-known appellations, they are truly becoming cult-like about their support of their favorite off-the-main-road boutique winery. With this said, club members of all three of the Vezr Family wineries in Suisun Valley are some of the most devoted and
FUN FacT Suisun Valley actually has two appellations (Suisun & Green Valley) and these were established within a year of the first Napa Valley appellations. Also, Suisun was the largest wine producer before Prohibition. Suisun has a long history of wine production and vineyard cultivation.

enthusiastic of all fans and one can easily see why. Vezr Family wines are exceptional, its the only place you can taste and buy $200 quality wines for $45 to $90 a bottle, and every wine is good to exceptional. You will not encounter the all-too-common scenario, where only one out six flights of wine is marginally acceptable to be considered for a mercy bottle. (Definition: When the winery staff is so nice and yet none of the wines appeal to you, you simply buy a bottle to be kind i.e. mercy bottle). At Vezr wineries, this is never the case. In fact, there are more than 20 different wines and ports and all of them are so delicious you have a hard time stopping yourself from buying a bottle of everything you taste. The fact that all of their wines are so good is not by chance. One reason is, of course, the wonderful Suisun Valley which presents one of the worlds top ten growing conditions for fine wines, the other reason is passion, and family passion at its best. The Vezr family name is an ancient Hungarian name of the Chieftains that travelled over the Caspian Plains to Central Europe with Attila the Hun. Needless to say, Hungarian history, since that time, is filled with passion. Hungarians are

often known for living life large and people who have such a driving energy to make dreams into reality. In fact, Napa and California itself owe its wine industry and fine grape varieties to the dreams and vision of one Hungarian 150 years ago with Count Agoston Haraszthy, who brought 300,000 European vines to the Napa Valley and opened the Buena Vista Winery in Sonoma. The Vezr Family, both Hungarian and Portuguese, too push the envelope in winemaking like everything else in their life. They risk their entire harvests every year to bring in the ripest Cabernet and Petite Sirah in both Napa and Suisun Valley. If you love black cherries and ripe plums, you will especially love Vezr Family Vineyard Petite Sirah called La Sallette. You will also find this Vezr passion in the cuisine at The Steakhouse at Mankas. The only steakhouse on the planet operating in a working winery. The Steakhouse at Mankas is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., six days a week: Tuesday through Sunday. Tasting rooms are open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Come to the less travelled, hidden valley that borders its big sister, Napa, and buy a case of Vezr wines to show your friends you have a little bit of Attila the Hun in your cellar. Also, check out the new winery called Galvon in Suisuns other appellation called Green Valley.

RUTHeRFORD HILL WINeRY Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 200 Rutherford Hill Road, Rutherford CA (707) 963-1871 | www.rutherfordhill.com

Growing up amongst the vineyards in Sonoma County, Marisa Taylor Huffaker seemed destined to find a career in winemaking. At a young age, she recalls visits to the vineyards to watch her godfather, a vineyard manager, work in the vines. Like most people who grow up in wine country, wine was a typical fixture at her familys dinner table and Marisa developed a deep appreciation for the process of taking the tender grapes from the vine to the glass. Marisa has two degrees from UC Davis; a B.S. in Chemistry and an M.S. in Food Science-Enology and by the age of 25 was making her own wine using Pinot Noir from Carneros. This education provided Marisa with the solid foundation needed to excel as a top-quality artisan winemaker. After graduating, she honed her skills at Piper Sonoma, J Winery, S. Anderson Vineyard, Williams-Selyem and in Rufina, Italy. Today, Marisa is part of a talented winemaking team at Rutherford Hill Winery in Napa. Rutherford Hill Winery is a Terlato Family owned winery and while big Napa Cabs are expected, Merlot is their flagship wine and they continue to showcase this grape in its entire splendor. Marisa says, I appreciate its versatility and lusciousness that cant be found in a Cabernet. Merlot has lots of fruit and is all encompassing of the palate and can pair well with food. Its not intimidating and has such a large range of styles. Marisa starts with around 85 lots of Merlot; about 70% is estate-grown fruit and after tasting and categorizing each, she then goes back and hand selects between five and ten lots to blend for the different club member and retail wines within the Rutherford Hill portfolio. In the near future, she is going to produce specific block or appellation wines to further their distinction as a Merlot-focused winery. In 2000, a new winery within a winery was created for the production of reserve wines. This new state-of-the-art facility gives Marisa some creative options for winemaking. The Terlato family is extremely supportive of this exciting process and has given Marisa and assistant winemaker Ana Diogo a chance to create a blend to

The mile-long caves contain more than 8,000 French and American oak barrels in which all of the winerys harvests are matured. This unique, natural environment enhances the wine aging process and produces wines of consistent and notable character. Rutherford Hill Winery allows you the opportunity to become a winemaker for a day with a special Merlot blending session that takes place every Saturday from 11 am to 1 pm through April of 2013. This unique and fun experience is what brought out The Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten to Rutherford Hill when she came to Napa to film a segment of her show. Her husband Jeffrey met with Marisa in the Rutherford Hill caves to blend a special bottle of Merlot for Ina and shared it with her at a picnic in Rutherford Hill's estate vineyards high above the winery.

Best in California for a Reason!
BY JOSH STEIN

FRANK FAMILY
V I N E Y A R D S

Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 1091 Larkmead Lane, Calistoga CA 94515 (707) 942-0859 | www.frankfamilyvineyards.com

The motto at Frank Family has long been Youll never have better wine ... or a better time, and given that the winery was recently awarded Best Tasting Room in the Napa vs. Sonoma Winery Showdown contest and has won Best Napa Winery for three consecutive years from The San Francisco Chronicle, its clear how much visitors wnjoy the experience at south-of-Calistogas Larkmead Lane. It was Lily Hitchcock Coit herself, one of the most colorful figures of early California, who originated the winerys name after the thousands of wild meadowlarks which inhabited the open fields and filled the air with their melodious warbling, and that embrace of natures bounty is evident in the award-winning wines from the more than 250 vineyard acres under the winerys control in Calistoga, Capell Valley, Carneros and Rutherford. First constructed as Larkmead Winery in 1884, the third oldest in the state, and refinished with native sandstone from the nearby hills in 1906, the building appears on the National Registry of Historical Places and is listed as a Point of Historical Interest in the state of California. Purchased by former Disney executive Rich Frank and his wife Connie in 1992 from Hans Kornell Champagne Cellars, the tasting room was renovated in 2008 and is housed in a 1930s Craftsman home which is open daily, offering oak-shaded picnic grounds and a scenic view. The wines are handcrafted in small quantities and are only sold at the winery and in a handful of select restaurants and retailers. Designed for intimacy, and thus requring appointments for six or more, via cellarpass.com or their website, there is a range of bottlings available to taste, including several sparkling wines made in the French methode champenoise style. Big reds are what the winery is known for, such as the Winston Hill Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and Rutherford Sangiovese, all also only available through the tasting room. Additional releases include Chardonnay, Petit Sirah, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, a late harvest Chardonnay and Port. A friendly staff is led by Dennis Zablosky, whose philosophy is simple: I want visitors memories of the winery to be as much about their experience here as the wines they taste. Dennis is always happy to pour tastes of smallproduction bottles or a pre-release. Rich Frank knows just how to make visitors feel welcome: With my background at Disney, I really learned how to create a friendly and unique guest experience, and Ive been able to transfer those skills to Frank Family, as well as turn it into an educational experience for our visitors. We have something very special in our dynamic staff, our wine, and our history. Our tasting room is extremely down-to-earth. We want our guests to feel like theyve discovered something very special and very real, he says. The results speak for themselves: Frank Family Vineyards was awarded Winery of the Year by Connoisseurs Guide to California Wine in its Best of 2012 December issue. Rich Frank sums things up quite nicely: Our goal has always been to build a quality winery that makes outstanding wines at an affordable price point. And that they most certainly do come north of St. Helena and find out why word-of-mouth says this is one of the best of the best in the Valley and the state. Enjoy!

Judds Hill Winery expect the Unexpected


BY MIKE HYLAND

I would guess that all of the wine club members as well as the many visitors to the winery on the Silverado Trail in Napa know one thing for sure about Judds Hill always expect the unexpected. For example, the Judds Hill Valentines Day celebration will not take place on February 14 as you would expect. They decided to make that date even more special by celebrating ten days later on February 24, and calling it their Post Valentines Day Celebration and Pick-Up Party. Crazy? Maybe, but for winemaker Judd Finkelstein (hence the name) and his wife Holly, thats the way they like to do things, and apparently, so do all of their guests. The event runs from noon to 2:30 p.m. with great food, some form of live entertainment, lots of surprises and, of course, massage therapists who will offer neck and shoulder massages. Now, what other winery offers that? The event is free for wine club members and $25 per person for non club members and takes place on the crush pad next to the vineyard. Reservations are recommended by calling the tasting room at (707) 255-2332, and do you really think it is an accident that the phone number and the physical address are somewhat alike? The winery is located at 2332 Silverado Trail in Napa. They are open by appointment only every day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Owner Judd Finkelstein was raised in Napa Valley. His college credits include the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Telecommunications at Arizona State where he earned a bachelors degree in television production. If youve been to the Judds Hill website (and if not, you should) then you have already seen some of Judds Wine Booty shows starring Judd and The Pirate. While it seems a little zany, the shows are also interesting and informative. So, whether it be pirates or magic or Hawaiian luaus, or even playing in his Napa Valley ukulele club with The Wine Country Flea Jumpers,

Judd is right at home having a good time. In addition to having a lot of fun, Judd is very serious about his winemaking. He grew up in the wine industry and learned the art of winemaking from his dad, Art. Our idea is that great fruit makes fine wine and we want that fact to show through, says Judd. We use oak subtly, keep the alcohols at moderate levels and blend carefully, among other techniques. We let the grape shine, which results in wonderful wines of true varietal characteristics. And, with names like Magic, Presitdigitation and Burkes Blazing Barbecue Old Vine Zinfandel, among others, you know that Judds Hill is a fun place to sample wine. Give them a call to schedule a tasting appointment or to RSVP for one of their events and experience the magic of this boutique, family-run Napa Valley winery for yourself. Judds Hill is located at 2332 Silverado Trail, Napa, CA 94558 and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. by advance appointment. For more information, call (707) 255-2332 or visit the website at www.juddshill.com.

Old Faithful geyser of california a Natural phenomena


For all of Napa Valleys world-renown as a wine-tasting destination, did you know that the valley also has one of only three Old Faithful geysers in the world? Located at the north end of the valley in Calistoga, Old Faithful makes for a fun and fascinating afternoon stop between wineries. About every 30 minutes, visitors to the geysers are treated to a firstrate show an eruption of steam and extremely hot water spraying 60 to 100 feet in the air. The term Old Faithful refers to geysers that erupt on regular intervals. Water for the Old Faithful Geyser of California comes from an underground river. When this water flows over the hot molten magma deep in the earth, it boils, expands and then collects in large cavities. Under tremendous pressure from the heat, the superheated water is forced through the fractures and erupts with an outpouring of steam followed by hot spewing water. Old Faithful is surrounded by palm trees and thick bamboo, making for a relaxing and partially shaded setting. There are picnic tables with umbrellas and

Taste History
BY SUE STRAIGHT, THE WINE WENCH

Open daily from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 13250 River Road, Guerneville, CA 95446 (707) 824-7316 | www.korbel.com

If you were to go on one winery tour during your visit to Northern Sonoma Countys wine country, I would highly suggest doing so at Korbel Champagne Cellars. Why? It is one of my personal favorite tours because it is historic (the winery was founded in 1882) - loaded with local and winemaking history, it is relatively short (only about 45 minutes) and the location is gorgeous Korbel is a beautiful old winery, set amongst the towering redwoods and verdant vineyards of the Russian River Valley. Tours are conducted on the hour, starting at 11 a.m. There is also a garden tour during the warmer months of the year. After your tour, stop in to the tasting room and allow Korbels friendly and knowledgeable staff to guide you through a delicious selection of sparkling and still wines. Brandy is also available for sale (but not for tasting, because of licensing restrictions). The tasting room and gift shop is large and airy, with a fireplace adorning the back wall (roaring and toasty-warm when the weather is cold and gray) and long tasting bars spanning each side of the room. Two huge imported antique crystal chandeliers hang overhead - providing sparkly vintage ambiance. It is well stocked with wine-related gifts, such as clothing, books, grape-themed jewelry, pottery and art prints. After you taste some wines, wander outside to the large patio, which surrounds the tasting room and gift shop. It is dotted with wrought iron tables and shaded by majestic redwood trees. Just across the patio is one of the best delicatessens in Sonoma County. Im not kidding their sandwiches, salads and freshly baked goods are amazing! Along with their yummy food and delicious Korbel wines, they also feature four beers from the Russian River Brewing Company (the brew master for the Russian River Brewing Company got his start at Korbel hence the connection) on tap, including the ever-popular Pliny the Elder. There are also a wide variety of take-away condiments and foods available for your shopping pleasure. Korbel Champagne Cellars is the perfect place to learn about winemaking history, relax a while, enjoy some delicious food and wine (or beer) and stock up on wine, gifts and foods to take with you to remind you of what a great time you had during your visit.

Meadowcroft Wines.

When it comes to the food, the music, the parade and the crowning of our King and Queen of Mardi Gras, this is as close to a Louisiana celebration as you can get. The Krewe of Meadowcroft Mardi Gras

artist Loretta Loy-adair at the charles creek Tasting Room & gallery
Charles Creek vineyard
Specializing in high quality Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon (as well as microscopic quantities of a dry Ros of Syrah) from great vineyard sources in Sonoma and Napa, Charles Creek Vineyard produces wines that are fruit driven, food friendly and easily paired with the courses of a meal. The winery tasting room is conveniently situated in a charming 1890s era storefront on the historic Sonoma Plaza. In addition wine tasting and sales, the tasting room also provides space to show the work of local artists. The Charles Creek Vineyard Tasting Room and Gallery, open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., is located at 483 First Street West, on the historic Plaza in downtown Sonoma. For more information, call (707) 935-3848 or email alan@charlescreek.com.

From plein air to still life, local artist Loretta Loy-Adair presents a selection of new and recent paintings at the Charles Creek tasting Room & Gallery. the show will hang from through march 31, 2013.
Loretta is an oil painter, whose initial inspiration came from her family of artists. Having lived in the wine country for more than 23 years, Loretta has found her inspiration and solitude in the Northern California landscape. Although Loretta paints a variety of subjects, her focus has been primarily on painting on location (en plein air) for the past few years. This discipline also compliments her studio painting where she paints still life and portraits. Loretta is most intrigued by alla prima painting, not only because it is challenging, but she feels that the immediacy exposes the true emotion of the artist in making the visual connection. Lorettas works have been sold in prominent galleries in Napa and Sonoma, including the Fairmont Gallery, North Bay Gallery and the Shirley Roberts Gallery. Lorettas works have been juried into several exhibits held by the Marin Society of Artists, Sonomas Salute to the Arts and Plaza Arts Center in Healdsburg. Her work, Trixie The Sebastiani Theater Ticket Taker, was on exhibit at the Sonoma Valley Museum of Arts 2007 Juried Biennial Show and Mustard in the Carneros#2 was juried in to the 2010 Napa Valley Mustard Festival. Loretta is a member of the Oil Painters of America.

Friday Happy Hour Italian Style at VJB Vineyards and cellars


Winerys Red Rooster Pizza Co. to stay open late for jug nights
Friday nights in Italy often find locals and tourists alike gathered in town piazzas enjoying wine, food and each others company. Visitors to VJB Vineyards and Cellars can experience this slice of Italian culture as the winery offers Friday night jug and pizza nights. Every Friday, from 4 to 7 p.m., guests can gather on VJBs central piazza to sip wine and nibble on hot, crisp and bubbly Neapolitanstyle pizzas and herbed flatbreads from the wood-fired oven in the outdoor kitchen, called Red Rooster Pizza Co. Jugs are filled straight from barrels that contain a red Italian-style table wine similar to the winerys popular Rosso Family Blend. The one-liter jugs filled with wine are $20 and refills are $12. A jug and margherita pizza combo are $32 or $24 with a jug refill. Wines by the glass and bottle are also available. VJB did a trial run of the jug and pizza nights at the end of 2012 and found them to be hugely successful. Locals came out in droves, said owner Henry Belmonte. Its so gratifying to see them enjoying this space and enjoying one anothers company. Thats exactly why we started the jug and pizza night to build this sense of community and conviviality. Pizzas and jugs of wine are also available to take away to enjoy at home. VJB Vineyards and Cellars is located at 60 Shaw Avenue, Kenwood.
