 intelligence for the Wine conSUMer
How should I build a wine collection?
If you’ve got the wine “bug” – that is, you are increasingly enjoying
wine, discovering new favorites and exploring different wine styles –
then you probably have started to think about building a collection of
wines at home. Like every other hobby, you can go about it with a
budget that is small, large or someplace in the middle, depending on
your financial means and level of interest. What I like about wine
collecting, however, is that the amount you spend on the individual
wines is not as important as the diversity of wines in your cellar.
A wine collection should be practical. It does not have to include
expensive or rare wines, or even vintage wines. It does, however, have
to consider your own taste preferences in wine, your most frequent
choices of dishes when dining in or out, and the palates of guests
entertained in your home. It’s up to you to decide how much weight
to put on each of these areas, but a wine collection works best when
a fair amount of thought is given to them.
It is senseless for me to provide a list of specific wines for anyone’s
cellar unless this basic information is known. Rather, for anyone
thinking of starting a wine collection, I give you the following popular
wine styles and the reasons why I believe they are commonly found in
many wine collections. I don’t care whether you spend an average of
five dollars or fifty dollars a bottle to start your wine cellar collection
as much as I care that each of these categories below is adequately
represented so that you have a wine to match almost any need at any
time.
Sparkling Wines: Champagnes and sparkling wines complement
many dishes, including some of the most difficult ones, like those high
in salt, heavy cream, and fried foods. Also, good to have at hand for
any celebration that arises.
Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling: These white wines contain bright
fruitiness and (usually) moderate alcohol levels, which work well with
salads and vegetarian dishes. A good, dry Riesling is always a pleasant
surprise to pour for guests.
10
by Len Napolitano
Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, or Tempranillo: If pinot noir is sometimes
considered the red wine for white wine drinkers, then sangiovese and
tempranillo, popular Italian and Spanish grape varieties, respectively,
are red wines that all red wine lovers appreciate. The slightly higher
acidity levels in all three, along with a low to moderate new oak
aroma, help them go well with many foods.
Cabernet, Merlot, or Meritage: If you enjoy beef or lamb on a
regular basis, any one of these wines is a must for a complete wine
collection because of a moderate to high tannic structure that works
well to cleanse the palate of fat after each bite. Meritage style wine is a
domestic version of the French Bordeaux style, a blend of primarily
cabernet and merlot.
Syrah, Zinfandel, or Petite Sirah: These hearty and rich, dark fruit-
flavored wines tend to have higher than average alcohol levels, but
when balanced with the bold fruitiness, create nice accompaniments
to grilled foods, stews, strong cheeses and fine cigars.
Late Harvest or Port Style Desert Wines: Sweet wines usually
come in half bottles, and are sipped slowly to help you slow down and
appreciate life or the end of a fine meal. Pairing with either an equally
sweet desert or, in contrast, a salty dish, like nuts or cheese, can be
quite satisfying.

Wine & Spirits Education Trust and Chicago Wine School and continually gains knowledge from his frequent contact
with California winemakers. More information is on his website, www.wineology.com.

Quality Wines All Under $25

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

FEATURE STORY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Balletto Vineyards: Back to Nature
by Charles Neave
It’s no surprise that Sonoma County’s
Balletto Vineyards is both family owned and
family run. After all, this is real, honest farm,
ranch and vineyard territory. As I have said in
the past, you know that you’re in real farm
country here because along the way sheep
and horses graze, veterinarian offices
outnumber those of physicians and orchards
border hundreds of acres of vines. And, quite
happily, Balletto Vineyards sits right in the
middle of it all.
Balletto concentrates on estate wines,
made from premium grapes grown in the
distinct soils and climates of Sonoma
County’s fertile and famous Russian River
Valley. But before they ever put their name on
a bottle of wine, the Balletto’s had a different
approach. They actually started out as
vegetable growers and then later transitioned
into growers of grapes. Today, they farm 500
acres of vines and sell off almost all (90%) of
their grapes to other wineries.
What happened was a natural evolution,
really. As their grape-growing business grew
larger and larger, they decided to make wine
20
instead of just selling grapes. John Balletto,
who began farming in 1977, at the age of 17,
remains a major influence in this part of
Sonoma County, both as a grower and farmer,
and now as a producer of small-production
wines.
Their grapes are picked by hand and they
use only the finest imported French oak
barrels, from a variety of barrel makers. This
is a common practice, since that way the indi-
vidual characteristics of different coopers
(barrel makers) can be paired with the vari-
etal or blend that will be most beneficial and
will achieve the desired characteristics the
winemaker is looking for. And as growers
first, they have strong feelings that if you have
good grapes, good wine will follow, and what
you will find in the bottle will undoubtedly
provide validity to this basic philosophy.
Winemaker Anthony Beckman came into
the wine industry later in life. While taking a
variety of jobs in the wine industry, he also
managed to find time to obtain a degree from
UC Davis’ famous Viticulture and Enology
program. He has been with Balletto Vineyards
since 2007, when he was hired as the assis-
tant winemaker, and then was promoted to
www.WineCountryThisWeek.com
winemaker two years later. It has been an
ambitious and ultimately successful continu-
ation of a life-long passion for both food and
wine.
The estate wines you will find at Balletto
grow in the distinct soils and climates of
Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley, and
they invite you to come and, as they say,
“Taste the bounty that is Balletto” at their
tasting room, set in the middle of a 200-acre
vineyard. In all, they have a dozen vineyards
in this world famous appellation.
Today, Balletto Vineyards offers a wide
selection of hand-picked varietals for tasting,
including Russian River Chardonnay, an un-
oaked Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel,
Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, the very popular
Syrah and a delightful and refreshing Rosé of
Pinot that is a perfect summer picnic wine
but also a versatile selection throughout the
year.
To experience it, all you need to do is visit
the comfortable, informal tasting room. Here
you can stand at the tasting bar, or if you’d
prefer, feel free to relax outside on the new
shaded patio with plenty of seating and tables
and a fountain, never far from the French oak
 WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINERY FEATURE

barrels they use.

There are plenty of places
nearby where you can pick up a
picnic lunch, from small delis
and groceries to farm stands
where you can buy the raw ingre-
dients and pair them with some
crunchy French bread or bread
sticks, maybe some local mustard
and extra virgin estate olive oil.
The winery’s patio is a great place
for an alfresco lunch or midday
snack, with a bottle of their wine,
of course. It is a great way to get
reenergized for your day in this
renowned part of Northern Cali-
fornia, and there is a noted lack
of pretension here. It is all about
enjoying the experience, the
wine, and the grapes that are on
every side of you.
Nancy Woods, the winery’s
friendly, knowledgeable and
always accommodating tasting
room manager likes to remind
guests that “One thing I want our
visitors to know is that we have a
program that offers a self-guided
vineyard tour. While not many
wineries allow this, we actually
encourage it. People who come to
the winery both appreciate and
enjoy this option.” Just one more
reason to make the trip to this
true wine country destination,
where nature still dominates the
landscape, agriculture is a way of
life, the pace is miles away from
city life, and the wines will make
you smile.
The tasting room at Balletto
Vineyards is open from 10 a.m.
until 5 p.m. It is located at 5700
Occidental Road near the city of
Santa Rosa. For more informa-
tion, you can call (707) 568-2455
ext. 101 or go to the website,
www.ballettovineyards.com,
which also includes information
on their popular wine club. You
can also follow them on Face-
book and Twitter.

Judd Finkelstein
Tasting Room of the Week:
Judd’s Hill Winery
by Alexandra Charsley
Judd’s Hill Winery is right off the Silverado Trail, a short drive from
downtown Napa. Upon driving over their little narrow bridge, I started
to feel that excitement that comes with finding something new, some-
thing hidden like a little treasure that only you know about. The
winding drive in is breathtaking as you drive past the vineyards, and
the view is so amazing that I couldn’t wait to get to the tasting room!
No matter what the season, I never grow tired of seeing grape vines
sprawling over the hills. Right next to the tasting room, you will notice
their small gardens loaded with strawberries that have been planted by
Judd and his family. There is also a chicken coop with some fine egg-
laying Rhode Island Reds. Don’t let looks fool you. Just because this
isn’t the normal bar style tasting room doesn’t mean that you will not
have a great experience. You know the saying, good things come in
small packages. This is the feel you get when visiting this winery. It is a
family and dog-friendly winery that is relaxing, fun, hip and cool.
So whether you are a serious wine connoisseur, or just looking to do
some wine tasting, Judd’s Hill fits the bill.
Their tasting room is intimate, which I love. Here, it’s up close and
personal with their gracious and knowledgeable hosts. Their indoor
tasting room offers a large table for guests to sample not only their new
releases, but soon they will also be offering some of their library wines.
It’s clean, modern and contemporary with lots of natural. Artwork
created by winery founder, Art Finkelstein lines the walls and makes it
feel very casual. They also offer tastings at their tiki bar in the wine
cellar. Weather permitting, there are two patio areas for tastings that are
22
set apart and shaded so you can take in the great California weather and
the exterior grounds. Now, even though you can’t purchase and sip
wine here all afternoon, you will never feel rushed during your tasting.
Everyone is given the same great personal attention. Here, it’s not really
a wine tasting as a gathering with friends enjoying great wine.
Judd’s Hill is committed to making remarkable wines. Guests really
feel the connection to a family-run operation. Most days you can find
Judd himself, working around the winery. Taking an intimate and
personal approach to winemaking, they limit their annual production
to less than 3,000 cases.
Devin Joshua of Judd’s Hill winery said, “We make wines that are
food friendly and approachable and not overly alcoholic or tannic, just
well balanced. The vision is to make wines that are enjoyable while they
are young but we hold back the release of our reserve wines, allowing
them more time to develop aroma and flavor nuance in bottle. Every-
thing poured in the tasting room tastes great now, but many of our
bigger reds will definitely get better with age.”
Judds’ Hill is owned and operated by two generations of the Finkel-
stein family. While his parents Art and Bunnie founded the winery,
Judd along with his wife Holly are still dedicated to making premium,
handcrafted wines. Along the way, they have made and continue to
make great friends. Their Wine Club members enjoy exceptional bene-
fits. Not only do they get in on the “Club member-only” wines, but
Judd’s Hill throws fantastic release parties of great renown and gener-
ally Wine Club members get free entry to these events. Devin said, “We
have some out-of-state members that plan their Napa visits around our
parties just to pick up their wine.” This added value to Club members

Bottle Blending Day Camp

is just another reason why you should stop by and taste some of these
exceptional wines on offer. The season is upon us for their upcoming
concert series and you might even see Judd pick up his ukulele and
join in with the band.
If you are looking for a more interactive and hands-on experience,
then sign up for their Bottle Blending Day Camp. You’ll spend about
two hours working with a winemaker to blend your perfect Bordeaux-
style cuvée from four barrel samples (two Cabernet Sauvignons, one
Merlot and one Cabernet Franc).
Once you have decided on a final blend, you will get to hand bottle,
cork and label your bottles. Your personally blended wine will be sent
home with you the same day!
Want even more of your own custom wine? Judd's Hill MicroCrush
allows grape growers and wine enthusiasts from anywhere in the world
to realize the dream of having their own wine made for them without
having to own a winery. In their state-of-the-art licensed and bonded
winery, they offer an all-inclusive winemaking service specializing in
small lots, as little as one barrel. From sourcing the finest fruit to
bottling, they will do it all for you. Their celebrated reputation and
proven expertise for crafting ultra-premium Napa Valley wines will
bring your custom wine to fruition.
So whether you come to Judd’s Hill for a personal wine tasting or
to enjoy one of their great events, you will surely leave happy and
satisfied in finding exceptional wine from a family run winery. Their
tasting room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. by advance appoint-
ment so be sure to call ahead, (707) 255-2332. Visit the website at

Bennett Lane Winery in Calistoga Offers Top

Rated Wines in a Friendly, Scenic Atmosphere
As the warmth of summer days roll into Napa Valley, a fool-proof
way to make the most of the season is a day spent at the Bennett Lane
Winery in Calistoga. Known as having one of the friendliest tasting
rooms in the valley, this winery should top one’s itinerary. Bennett
Lane is a must-see destination to suit anyone’s taste from the serious
wine connoisseur to the wine novice in search of a great new find and
a fun introduction to the Napa Valley.
Founded by Randy and Lisa Lynch, Bennett Lane features spectac-
ular views of vineyards, Mount St. Helena and the Palisades Mountain
Range. The breathtaking panorama can be viewed at leisure during an
afternoon visit to Calistoga. At the casual and recently remodeled
tasting room, the knowledgeable staff are delighted to guide visitors
through a behind-the-scenes tour of winemaking at the family-owned
Bennett Lane Winery as well as a vineyard tour of their guest friendly
“petting vineyard”.
Some of the best values found in Napa are available in Bennett
Lane’s signature Maximus blends. These red and white “feasting
wines” are designed to be approachable, yet complex. The 2007
Maximus Red Feasting Wine pairs well with practically everything. White Maximus. A perfect wine for summer, this Napa Valley Sauvi-

Lane also has a white wine partner for the popular Maximus, the 2009 several years. My goal is for us to make consistent wines – both in
quality and taste – from year to year, so that consumers can trust
Bennett Lane wines,” he says.
The Bennett Lane Cabernet program has lived up to this, with the
highly acclaimed 2007 vintage being another stellar year for the young
Napa Valley Winery. The 2007 Napa Valley Cabernet was awarded 94
Points in Wine Enthusiast and the 2007 Reserve received 92 Points
from Wine Spectator. We encourage you to put Bennett Lane on your
short-list of must-visit tasting rooms as the production is small and the
Cabernets sell out quickly.
Bennett Lane Winery is located in an understated Mediterranean-
style building at the secluded and beautiful northern end of the Napa
Valley, and offers superb wines of considerable value. Located at 3340
Highway 128, approximately two miles north of Calistoga, Bennett
Lane Winery’s tasting room is open by appointment from 10 a.m. to
5:30 p.m. Guests are welcome to taste a flight of four of Bennett Lane’s
wines ($10). Tours are offered by appointment.

SUISUN VALLEY
Under the Rainbow Dreams Come True in Fairfield
by Barbara L. Steinberg
Late winter rains have passed and spring skies
are clearing. Though not the Land of Oz, there are
some magical places under the rainbow just off
I-80 in Northern California. How about the Land
of Fairfield? Sometimes you have to be willing to
take a chance … look beyond your own backyard
and take the road less traveled. You won’t have to
travel far. Fairfield is the perfect base camp to
explore the profusion of regional activities
throughout Solano County and neighboring coun-
ties, as well.
A short distance from California’s world-famous Napa Valley wine
region you’ll discover Fairfield’s rustic wine country in Suisun Valley.
An idyllic destination, the Suisun Valley (pronounced sue-soon) is
conveniently located less than 50 miles from Sacramento or San Fran-
cisco. A handful of tasting rooms are open to the public. What they
lack in numbers, they make-up in quality, hospitality and welcoming
experience.
You won’t find anyone but the winemakers or their families and
friends behind the pour. The Suisun Valley Cooperative offers wines
from five distinctively different family-owned wineries. The Blue Victo-
28
rian Winery is a private estate owned by the Vezér
family where you can partake of the gentle life:
barrel tasting, a little bocce ball, and quiet views.
Down the lane, Wooden Valley Vineyards &
Winery’s history dates back more than 75 years.
Daily tastings and shaded picnic tables provide rest
and relaxation. Fill your picnic basket at local farm
stands or Barista Café & Deli at Mankas Corner.
Separated from Napa Valley by the Vaca Moun-
tains, it’s a charming back road ramble through the
valleys of Suisun and Wooden into Napa. It’s not
quite the long and winding road…winding, yes, but
less than 20 miles away. This amazing journey
includes spectacular scenery in a little-explored corner of Solano
County. Avoid all the hustle and bustle on this country lane as you
glide peacefully from Fairfield into downtown Napa. Check your GPS
coordinates or, if necessary, try an old-fashioned road map to find the
scenic route from Fairfield to Napa and back again.
Many familiar brand hotels are located just off I-80, making Fair-
field a convenient overnight and weekend getaway. Escapes to nearby
wine valleys – Suisun and Napa – are gentle on the pocketbook if you
include overnight stays in Fairfield. Spend the day and a night….your
dreams can come true.

Winemaker Profile:
Waterstone Winery
Philip Zorn
by Josh Stein
Often, modern-day Napa is filled with visions springing from
vanity rather than from a focus on the vineyards and wines them-
selves. Waterstone Winery winemaker and co-owner Philip Zorn
doesn’t see it that way. He and his partner, Brent Shortridge, focus on
finding and working with the right vineyards for wines which best
express their sense of place, always aiming to “create luxury wines at
affordable prices.” Doing so naturally keeps the focus off the ego and
onto what’s in the glass since that’s where all of the winery’s efforts go
rather than into the expensive capital investments of buying land and
cultivating vineyards, building a winery, or dealing with the messy
never-ending paperwork of compliance with which brick-and-mortar
wineries must contend.
It’s ingenuity, in other words, rather than ego-driven extravagance,
which drives the way Zorn makes, markets and sells wine. Without a
doubt, his vision of winemaking continues this philosophy of rational
analysis, focusing on each release a European-trained winemaking
perspective, one interested in the subtleties of wine production –
paying attention to the chemistry, especially the acidity – to produce
wines of place rather than those which reflect only the purchase price
of the land upon which they were grown.
Indeed, Zorn manages to adroitly combine together his back-
ground with his love of Napa’s vineyard variety. Born in the United
States and raised in Berlin, Philip Zorn’s wine career began as an
apprentice with well regarded producer Weingut Pieroth in Germany’s
Nahe region while he attended the country’s top enology university.
After graduation, he relocated to Napa, working with his self-
described mentor, Walter Schug. After making wine for a wide range
of producers throughout California’s wine country, including Sunny
St. Helena, Gauer Estate, Mountain View Vintners, Paraiso Springs,
and Tria, Zorn and Shortridge decided the time was right to make
wine for themselves rather than for others. And they would do so by
“intelligently sourcing” the vineyards they wanted to work with,
30
investing time into relationships rather than money into the ground.
This “sensical approach” would inform everything the two would plan
and release.
The results of this partnership have been quite impressive; in the
relatively short time of their collaboration, the Waterstone wines and
the other brands that Zorn and Shortridge produce – Mandolin and Z-
52 – have received lots of critical attention and plenty of 90+ scores.
What’s just as impressive, though, is that they present the best quality-
to-price ratio in the Valley. How reasonable are the Waterstone Wines?
How about award-winning Napa Valley Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot
Gris and Rosé for less than $20 a bottle; and Cabernet Sauvignon,
Pinot Noir and Syrah for less than $25?! Those aren’t misprints. Even
their dearest releases, the Study in Blue blend and the Reserve
Cabernet, are about one-third of what anyone else in Napa would be
asking for wines with these scores and track records. The bottom line
is that this novel winemaking business model allows for pass-along
savings to the consumer even as it allows for sourcing the best of the
best for their wines.
So, how can you taste these amazingly affordable small-lot releases
for yourself? Also following the leitmotif of avoiding the overly
complex for its own sake, the duo’s tasting room, Taste at Oxbow, is
right in the middle of the resurgent Napa downtown. The corner spot
puts you within footsteps of shopping, food and wine country life –
not to mention the locals’ main way up-Valley, the Silverado Trail (shh,
and don’t tell anyone you heard it here!). Come taste for yourself and
see what this winemaker’s vision has produced: really great wines that
showcase their vineyard sources without passing along the costs of
ownership. Trust me: you’ll enjoy the sensibility in every glass!

ZD Wines – Rosa Lee’s Whim

It is usually a twist of fate, some serendipi-
tous sequence of events that eventually mate-
rialize into a bottle of ZD’s Rosa Lee’s Whim.
Rosa Lee deLeuze, ZD Wines cofounder, can
be impetuous, spontaneous, and even whim-
sical, and it was her inspiration to produce a
ZD wine not necessarily trending with the
mainstream mindset of wine consumers; a
wine not normally seen with the ZD label on
it. It has been 18 years since the first bottle of
Rosa Lee’s Whim was produced and it has
since garnered a cult-like following.
After 40 years of producing award-wining
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Napa’s
Carneros region, and Cabernet Sauvignon
from its organic vineyard in Rutherford, a
wine like Mourvedre was quite a departure. “It
allows our winemaking team to express them-
selves through these different varietals,” says
Rosa Lee. “It also gives folks something new to
try when they visit the winery.”
The varietals change every year: Zinfandel,
Riesling, Petit Verdot and Syrah, to name a few

Robert Mondavi Winery

Summer Music Festival
The 2011 Robert Mondavi Winery Summer Music Festival begins
its 43rd year with a performance by Gavin DeGraw on July 2 at the
winery in Napa Valley. One of the wine country’s most established and
anticipated concert series, the Summer Music Festival will showcase
five performances this year. Since the founding of the winery, both the
late Robert Mondavi and his wife, Margrit, have worked to introduce
wine, food and art as an integral part of the American experience.
“This year’s lineup presents artists that are excellent musicians in
their genre,” noted Margrit Mondavi, who founded the concert series
in 1969. “Robert’s belief that we could make wines that stand in the
company of the world’s finest, leads us to select artists who stand in
the company of the world’s greatest. We are so excited to start with
Gavin this year.”
For the July 2 “Celebrating the American Dream with Gavin
DeGraw,” guests will experience one of today’s premier singer-song-
writers. DeGraw is known for his heartfelt lyrics and soulful, blues-
tinged vocals. On July 9, the “Fume Blanc Concert with Colbie Caillat”
features this Grammy-nominated rising star and her dusky vocals and
acoustic guitar. The Summer Festival continues July 16 with “Festival
del Sole Presents David Foster and Friends.” Foster is a noted singer,
songwriter and composer from Canada, and his friends include the
Canadian Tenors, Charice, Babyface and Ruben Studdard. Chris Isaak
headlines the Summer Festival July 23 for the “Spotlight on To Kalon
concert.” Since his debut in 1985, Chris Isaak has been captivating
audiences with his signature rock ‘n’ roll music. The festival concludes
July 30 with the “Winemaker of the Year concert with k.d. lang and
the Siss Boom Bang.” A four-time Grammy Award winner, k.d. lang
will enchant you with her touching and engaging songs.
In the 42 years since the Summer Music Festival’s inception, Robert
Mondavi Winery has donated more than $2 million from the proceeds
to support the Napa Valley Symphony, the Napa Valley Unified School
District and the Napa Valley Opera House.
“Robert Mondavi Winery is so proud to support the community
with our summer concerts,” said Margrit Mondavi. “Through our
festival, we have been able to provide support to important institu-
tions, ensuring that great music in the Napa Valley endures.”
All performances begin at 7 p.m. and are held at the Robert
Mondavi Winery on Highway 29 in Oakville, Napa Valley. Ticket
prices vary by performance. For additional information and to
purchase tickets, visit www.robertmondaviwinery.com or call 1-888-
RMONDAVI (766-6328).
Founded in 1966, Robert Mondavi Winery is the shining symbol of
California’s Napa Valley. The first major winery built in Napa Valley in
the three decades since the repeal of Prohibition, Robert Mondavi
Winery went on to establish the foundation for the modern-day Cali-
fornia wine industry. With the philosophy that great wines reflect their
origins, Robert Mondavi Winery pursues the fullest expression of the
terroir of Napa Valley. For additional information about Robert

by Michelle J. Baker
What could be more relaxing than a stay at the Golden Haven Spa
and Resort in Calistoga?
Start your days off with a dip in the resort’s hot springs mineral
pool, enjoy any of a number of spa treatments Golden Haven offers,
and then head out for a day of wine tasting. When you come back to
the resort, rest in your newly remodeled, cozy and charming room or
relax out on the sun deck; then stroll into downtown Calistoga for
dinner.
Act now and you can book Golden Haven’s most popular room, the
Jacuzzi room, which features a full size whirlpool spa, a luxurious king
bed (located a short dive from the whirlpool), vaulted ceilings and
dressing area. The hot water in the private in-room whirlpool spa, as
well as the rest of the resorts baths, showers and pools, is the natural
Calistoga hot springs mineral water (cooled to 110 degrees) that has
made Calistoga the premier spa destination in wine country.

Start off your spa day with an immersion mud bath – if you’ve
never had one before, it’s an epiphany for all of your senses. The
combination of clay, peat and hot springs mineral waters in the mud
bath relaxes muscles and joints, detoxifies, and leaves the skin soft and
renewed.
After your mud bath, shower off, hop in the Jacuzzi for a while and
then enjoy a quiet, soothing massage, facial, herbal facial, European
body wrap or mineral bath. Feel the stress melt away!
Golden Haven also offers many other specials: a Girlfriend Spa
Special, perfect for a girls’ weekend away; midweek specials, if your

Bike into Spring in Bucolic Dry Creek Valley with

Dutcher Crossing Winery Proprietor Debra Mathy
Free and open to all levels; 9 am the last Friday
of each month through October 29, 2011
After a long, rainy winter, bike into spring, touring the vibrant
scenery of Dry Creek Valley with Debra Mathy, an avid cyclist and
proprietor of Dutcher Crossing Winery. “A bike is always my first
choice of transportation,” said Mathy.
“I would like to invite anyone with a bike to join me on a scenic
tour of the northern valley vineyards.” Starting at Dutcher Crossing
Winery at the juncture of Dry Creek Road and Dutcher Creek Road,
Mathy will lead a casual ride through the valley’s verdant vineyards
from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on the last Friday of each month through
October 28, 2011.
A lover of bicycles since childhood, Debra’s last gift from her late
father was a vintage high-wheel bicycle, showcased on all of Dutcher
Crossing Winery wine labels. “The icon represents Dutcher Crossing
Winery’s pursuit of small-lot winemaking, attesting to the guiding
power of my father’s imagination, and the timeless qualities of an Debra Mathy
artisan approach to life,” she explained. A replica of the high wheeler with Dutchess
graces the tasting room, and on occasion, is actually ridden by Debra
to the enjoyment of her guests. at debra@dutchercrossingwinery.com or phone at (707) 431-2700.
For information about the “Ride with Deb,” contact Debra by email Visit the website at www.dutchercrossingwinery.com.

St. Francis Winery’s 2nd Annual ‘Stars Under the Stars’ Film
Festival Pairs Silver Screen Icons with Stellar Wines al Fresco
Sonoma County pioneer, St. Francis Winery & Vineyards, expands
its 2nd annual “Stars Under the Stars” outdoor film festival this year to
six weeks and six classic films. Curated by celebrity sommelier and
film aficionado Christopher Sawyer, the festival takes place every
Thursday at the winery from July 14 to August 18.
Christopher Sawyer and St. Francis Winery CEO and President
Christopher Silva will host a short discussion of the evening’s film and
suggested wine pairing before each screening. “Great movies and
elegant wines,” asserts Silva, “transport us to another place and time –
all the more so under the sky and the stars on a summer night in
Sonoma.”
“Big Night” opens this year’s festival on Thursday, July 14. Winner
of the 1997 Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay, “Big
Night” tells the story of two Italian immigrants who open a restaurant
on the New Jersey Shore in search of the American dream. Memorable
for such lines as “To eat good food is to be close to God,” the movie
revolves around preparations for a magnificent feast intended to save
their failing restaurant.
Academy Award winner “Moonstruck,” starring Cher and Nicholas
Cage, screens Thursday, July 21. This intoxicating 1987 romantic
comedy won three Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay, Best
Actress (Cher) and Best Supporting Actress (Olympia Dukakis).

For over 35 years, St. Francis Winery in Sonoma has hand-crafted
fruit forward, luscious and full-bodied wines from superior mountain
and valley vineyards in Sonoma County’s best appellations. While
most renowned for its red varietals, including its Zinfandel (all old
vines 60 to 110 years old), Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, St.
Francis also produces a noteworthy Chardonnay. St. Francis Sonoma
County wines are bursting with flavor and are recognized globally for
outstanding quality and great value.
An internationally-renowned sommelier, wine journalist, consul-
tant, critic and public speaker, Christopher Sawyer travels the world
following trends in wine and participating as a judge in international
wine competitions. Sawyer earned the 2009 Best Sommelier in
Sonoma County by The Wine Tasting Panel Magazine and is the recip-
ient of many prestigious awards and industry honors. As the world’s
first and only Film Festival Sommelier, Sawyer conceived and curated
the wine experience throughout the Sonoma Valley Film Festival,
including creatively pairing wine and food with films throughout the
festival and at celebrity tributes. Christopher is currently sommelier-
in-residence at the Carneros Bistro & Wine Bar at The Lodge at
Sonoma Renaissance Resort and Spa, where his wine list has received
numerous awards.

SONOMA VALLEY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Tasting Room of the Week:
B.R. Cohn Winery
by Brendan Conroy
Only one winery in Sonoma Valley
combines the boldness and virility of vintage
cars with the soft elegance of sipping wine.
This winery is none other than B.R. Cohn.
Bruce Cohn (typically associated as being the
manager for the famed Doobie Brothers)
combines his love of wine with his passion for
world class automobiles. In fact, on July 3rd
B.R. Cohn is hosting its third annual “Charity
Car Classic” where patrons are able to enjoy
wine, food, and fun as they peruse classic cars
culminating in a charity event that graciously
benefits the Redwood Empire Food Bank of
Santa Rosa.
The estate itself is captivating with its
sixty-one acres of vineyards that cascade
across the landscape on top of a natural hot
spring. Match this with the cool climate
winds which delicately caress the grapes
thereby creating a premier microclimate
embodying both balance and complexity. Feel
free to also enjoy the countless olive trees on
the property which contribute a unique
contented aura throughout the estate. Sample
a multitude of different quality extra virgin
and flavored olive oils. B.R. Cohn is one of the
54
only wineries in Sonoma Valley that offers a
flight of different olive oils for the consumer
to enjoy.
The 2010 Sauvignon Blanc was just
recently released to the general public and is
a delight. Citrus and lemon are the primary
aspects of the nose counterbalanced by ripe
pear on the palate. The acidity is beautifully
balanced with a surprisingly creamy finish.
This wine is ideal for consumption as one sips
on the porch during the summer time
allowing time to simply drift away. Compare
this light, fruity wine to the 2008 Zinfandel
from the estate Olive Hill Estate Vineyard to
experience the wide spectrum of complexity
and nuance that B.R. Cohn has to offer. This
bold Zinfandel has notes of rich cranberry on
Follow us on Twitter @WineCountryTW
the nose with a very supple tannin structure
on the palate. The middle fruit truly blossoms
into the finish leaving the consumer more
than satisfied. With such ideal growing condi-
tions as that of Olive Hill Estate Vineyard, it is
no wonder that this wine is such a gem.
B.R. Cohn has for decades earned
numerous prestigious awards for its quality
wines. The 2007 Olive Hill Estate Cabernet
Sauvignon exemplifies this precedent. It
received 94 points from Wine Spectator, a
double gold medal from the San Francisco
Chronicle, and a double gold medal from the
New World International Wine Competition.
The nose is a beautiful symphony of
delightful cherry and blackberry. The very
fragrance of this wine is the epitome of a
Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Enjoy a
bottle of this wine so that one can fully under-
stand why so many judges ranked it as such a
delectable treasure.
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. For more information, call 1-800-330-
4064 or visit www.brcohn.com.

Clay Shannon and Gregory Graham Team Together
for First Annual Wine & Food Pairing Festival
Clay Shannon of Shannon Ridge Vineyards & Winery and Vigi-
lance Winery & Vineyards is teaming up with his neighbor Greg
Graham of Gregory Graham Wines to organize a day at their vineyards
overlooking Anderson Marsh State Park. Named after the marsh that
is near the vineyards, Cattails and Tules will be held on June 18 from
noon to 3 p.m. and will be the first annual wine festival in the Red
Hills of Lake County.
Cattails and Tules is one of the few family-friendly wine events in
California, and will offer a wide variety of entertainment for all ages,
including hiking, music, food and wine pairings and even a scavenger
hunt and horseshoes for the kids. The event will showcase local
restaurants and chefs as they pair Vigilance and Gregory Graham
wines with their creative cuisines. Throughout the day, a panel of
professional chefs will judge the pairings in four different categories,
and guests will be asked to vote for their favorite dishes.
Guests who attend the day’s activities can choose to stroll between
the two vineyards or enjoy the special accommodations provided
onsite to get them from one vineyard to the other. Prizes, including a
kayak and a two-night stay at the Vigilance Villa, will be given to raffle
and scavenger hunt winners. The price for the event is $40 and
proceeds will go towards the Konocti Regional Trails and Anderson
Marsh Interpretive. Tickets may be purchased at Shannon Ridge, Vigi-
lance, and Gregory Graham Tasting Rooms, online at Cattails & Tules
1st Annual Wine & Food Pairing Festival-Fundraiser or by calling
(707) 998-9656.

Winery’s New Bus Becoming Livermore Valley Icon

With the goal of putting a smile on the
faces of visitors, Ruby Hill Winery’s new
“Tour Bus” has struck a chord with area resi-
dents. “It’s become our “blimp,” noted Mike
Callahan, one of the winery’s partners. “We
get a ton of calls asking us what the bus is all
about, and we’re happy to tell them.”
The bus’s purpose is a blend of commerce
and charity. It’s name, “Mello Cielo” recog-
nizes one of the boutique winery’s more
popular club wines, Cielo Viola, an Italian
blend and an estate reserve wine. The bus
takes guests on 90 minute tours of the Ruby
Hill vineyards and winery facilities. Passen-
gers learn about the history, the art and the
science behind Ruby Hill’s wines, while
tasting the winery’s current and future
vintages. Visitors may also stop at the
winery’s historic Water Tower to pair meats
and cheeses with current vintages.
In addition, Mello Cielo has become a
valuable fundraising tool for area nonprofits.
Local philanthropists have donated Mello
Cielo tours for auctions to help their favorite
charities raise money for worthwhile causes.
The bus has been radically customized so
that it is unlike that of any other bus in the
world. The revamped interior seats 14 by appointment only, and are available daily.

Nurturing Vines and Minds – 2nd Annual Promenade

Through the Vines Raises Funds for Local Children
Support scholarships, local charities in Monterey County, and the
American Heart Association by enjoying a day in the vineyard with the
Monterey County Vintners and Growers Foundation (MCVGF) at the
2nd Annual Winery Walk on June 4th at Paraiso Vineyards.
The primary focus of the five-mile Winery Walk will be to raise
funds and provide scholarships opportunities to agricultural
employee’s children. In 2010, over $10,000 was awarded to local
students.
Celebrate 22 Years with Local Vintners'!
The Santa Cruz Mountain Winegrowers Association will host the
22nd Annual Vintners’ Festival “A Taste of the Mountains.” This year’s
Vintners’ Festival will be held on two consecutive weekends. The first
weekend, June 4 and 5, the festival will be hosted at wineries and
restaurants in Santa Cruz County. The second weekend, June 11 and
June 12, the festival will be hosted at wineries and restaurants in Santa
Clara and San Mateo counties. Wineries participating in the Vintners'
Festival will be pouring from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. with restaurant loca-
tions closing at 4 p.m.
By participating, each walker will receive a T-shirt and gift bag, and
will be invited to participate in the post-walk celebration. Registration
begins at 7:45 a.m., followed by the vineyard walk at 8 a.m. A life-
style cooking demonstration, farmer’s market, massages, brunch and
wine reception will conclude the festivities immediately after the walk.
To participate in the walk, minimum donations begin at $100. The
MCVGF site, www.MontereyWines.org, has a simple online tool to
register for the walk and create a customized walker page in order to
begin securing donations from family, friends, and colleagues to
support their efforts. Walkers that raise additional donations at levels
of $250, $500 and $1000 will be entered into a prize drawing at the
end of the walk. All donations are tax deductible.
Family and friends who wish to cheer and enjoy the post-brunch,
farmer’s market, and Monterey County wines, are welcome to attend
for $30 per person.
For more event details and registration, visit www.Monterey-
Wines.org or call (831) 375-9400. For information about Paraiso
