Wineology INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER

Why do wines made from the same varietal

More Than 250 Quality Wines


Under $25 at Wine Garage
Hidden next to a dilapidated ’40s-era former filling station on Highway 29
in Calistoga lies the Wine Garage. A unique wine shop in Napa Valley that retails
all wine in the store under $25. Sound crazy? Its true. And the proprietors Todd
and Joy Miller, have hit on a niche in the Valley that had been very missed by the
locals there.
“There are a lot of winemakers here that can’t afford to drink the wine they
make” says Miller. “That’s crazy, yes, but who can afford to drink a $65 bottle with
dinner every night?”
Many people miss The Wine Garage on the first try upvalley, but the search
is well worth it. Miller stocks wine from all of California’s wine growing regions
including fifty Napa selections and 40 from Sonoma County. When he first sought
out buying the initial inventory, “I enlisted a local farmer buddy and his 15-foot
box van and off we went all over California hunting down the deals. I tried to seek
out the small producers who didn’t have distributors so I could pass the savings
on to my customers.” And Miller did just that. His store is stocked with high-
quality juice all under $25 and all are unique. Most labels in the shop are unrec-
ognizable – but all pass the same test; everything passes over Miller’s lips before
he makes a buy. “If I don’t love it, I don’t buy it, period. Sometimes I will taste
over a hundred wines in one day, load up the truck and haul it up to Calistoga,
unload at the store, and maybe I will crawl in bed by 3 a.m. Needless to say my
buddy bowed out of the deal after their second trip. I initially recruited him on a
‘hey lets go wine tasting in Santa Barbara’ until he realized how much work it
entailed. Poor guy, he had to be at the farm at 5 in the morning.”
It is all worth it. Millers’ customers love him. He has a unique ability to hear a
verbal description of a customer’s favorite wine and translate that into a recom-
mendation for sometimes a third of the cost. “I have people all over the country
that use me as their local wine shop. I ship right to their door – and the cost of the
shipping is a drop in the bucket compared to what they save on the cost of the
wine.
Miller gets deals on Napa wine too. “I have winemakers from small wineries
stop in every week saying ‘I have something that will fit into the store,’ if they only
have 15 or 25 cases of an end-of-vintage wine – I am the perfect outlet for them.”
So head up to the Wine Garage and check out the best deals in the Valley at
1020 Foothill Blvd (Hwy 29), Calistoga, CA 94515. For more information, call
(707) 942-5332. You can also check out the website at winegarage.net.

NAPA CELLARS
Your Summer Stop for Two Great Labels
by Diana Greenwood
If you’re looking for superb boutique wines poured with a splash
of fun, Napa Cellars in Oakville is the place for you. With a long
history of making great wines, Napa Cellars is also well known for its
unpretentious, welcoming style and straightforward wine-speak in the
tasting room. The casual space with its domed, geometrical ceiling and
natural light is a meeting place for locals looking for the scoop on the
latest releases. Mingling with visitors new to the Napa Valley is heartily
encouraged.
Longtime winemaker, Joe Shirley, jumped through the Napa Cellars
door after the Trinchero family acquired the winery a few years ago.
Working with the established brand, he maintains the consistent
quality for which Napa Cellars is known, while also spreading his
gregarious personality from vineyard to bottle to the relaxed mood in
the tasting room. One of Joe’s favorite sayings, “Hmmm, this is fun,”
seems to sum up his love for the sensory, artistic side of his craft as well
as the experience you’ll enjoy here. There’s a bonus, too. Not only does Another tasting option, for a $5 fee, begins with a complimentary

Roses, Rosé and Chocolate


for Breakfast on Mother’s Day
at B.R. Cohn Winery, May 9
Moms will be greeted with a smile, a long-stemmed rose and
complimentary wine tasting at the B.R. Cohn Winery tasting room
on Mother’s Day, May 9. The tasting room will be releasing the 2009
Rosé and author and chef, Barbara Passino will be on hand from
noon to 3 p.m. to sign her cookbook, Chocolate for Breakfast.
The 2009 Rosé ($18) is produced in a traditional French Rhone
style. Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre make this a seductive and
complex wine. It has wonderful tropical aromas and a delightful
touch of raspberry, cherry and peach flavors with hints of spice in the
finish. Slightly chilled, this Rosé is the ultimate wine to kick off the
warm weather season and celebrate Mom.
Barbara Passino is the proprietor/chef of Oak Knoll Inn, a luxu-
rious, intimate inn nestled amidst rows of grapevines in Napa Valley,
California’s Wine Country. Her decadent breakfasts have become
California legend and attract visitors from all over the world.
B.R. Cohn Winery is located at 15000 Sonoma Highway 12 in
Glen Ellen. The tasting room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Founded in 1984 by Bruce Cohn, the estate winery is known for its

gnon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir and award-winning gourmet
estate olive oils, vinegars and gourmet specialty food products. For

LIVERMORE | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK

Concannon Vineyard Announces


New Conservancy Wine Tier
Concannon Vineyard recently released a new Conservancy tier of
wines from – sourcing grapes only from Livermore vineyards that are
protected forever from urban encroachment.
“These wines are a tribute to my great-grandfather, James
Concannon, who founded our winery in 1883,” says John
Concannon, fourth generation vintner. “He knew that the austere
soil, full of rocks and gravel, coupled with the coastal fog and marine
breezes from the San Francisco Bay, would concentrate flavors in the
ripening fruit and allow him to make rich, complex, flavorful wines
that are truly unique. Conservancy wines honor his legacy as they are
sourced from vineyards under a new conservancy program for
perpetuity. The wines are crafted to reflect true varietal character,
express the unique terroir of the Livermore Valley and showcase the
best of what this region has to offer.”
“Concannon Conservancy wines also conform to the practice of
growing grapes and making wine with minimal impact. Concannon
Vineyard is proud to be one of the first seventeen wineries to be certi-
fied through the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance
(CSWA),” he continued
Concannon’s Conservancy includes Livermore Valley Petite Sirah,
Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Merlot; all have a suggested
retail of $15.
