intelligence for the Wine conSUMer by Len Napolitano
What wines go best with Thanksgiving dinner?

Thanksgiving dinner poses an interesting dilemma for the wine-pairing enthusiast. Do the broad variety of flavors from the multitude of side dishes like potatoes, vegetables, stuffing, gravy and cranberries make it impossible to pick one wine that complements everything, or do they just offer more opportunities to get at least one of them to match perfectly? In my opinion, Thanksgiving dinner is not the occasion to serve a wine of great finesse or nuance. So, forget about that great vintage Bordeaux or delicate Pinot Noir. Too many of the side dishes, not to mention a flavorful roasted turkey, will just overpower these types of wines. My approach to choosing wine for Thanksgiving is to go for the big red wine. Whats more, I like to stick with an American wine to go along with this all-American holiday. Heres where big red Zinfandels and Syrahs come to the rescue. After smothering your plate with big food, you need a big wine to follow up. The Zinfandel grape, commonly regarded as Americas grape, has many interesting, powerful, flavors that come through regardless of how eclectic your meal is. Think of dark berries, spices and black pepper when considering Zinfandel. One word of caution when consuming big red Zinfandels or Syrahs: alcohol content in these wines is often equally big, sometimes as high as 18%, compared to typical wines having 13%14%. The reason is partly out of necessity. The bigger the flavors become, the more the wine has to be balanced, weight-wise, in your mouth, with other components, like alcohol, tannin and acidity. If you would like to also offer a white wine with Thanksgiving dinner, I suggest a dry Riesling for its versatility in pairing with many dishes and its ability to cleanse the palate with refreshing acidity. Riesling is made in both a dry and semi-sweet style, and this is not always stated on the label. Be sure to check with your wine retailer when selecting it.

Quality Wines All Under $25 at Wine Garage, Calistoga

by Jeffry Ross
The Skinny The Wine Garage is all about the juice. Its 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, youll find more than 200 different labels neatly arranged in cases on the floor and an engaging staff who are friendly, attentive and most importantly, they know their wines. Buzz Despite its funky space, the Wine Garage is a wine lovers best friend. Reminiscent of visiting your favorite record store (yes, kids, once upon a time, thats where you had to buy your music), the fun is going through all the cases and finding something youve never heard of. All the wines have been test driven by the staff, so, whatever you select, you wont be disappointed. Value Ultimately, the Wine Garage is about value. Its no secret that in Napa Valley, its 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 With the exception of Wine Garage labeled-awardwinning Cabernets, nothing in this hip hideaway is more than $25! The Wine Garage is stocked with premium, small-lot wines that you wont find at BevMo, Trader Joes 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 blend), 2007 Napa Valley Cabernet, 2007 Napa Valley Petite Syrah, 2008 Napa Valley Chihuahua Cabernet and 2006 Napa Valley 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 delicious (and affordable), the jug is crazy fun conversation at the table. Its 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 youre 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
Dave Guffy and Donald Hess
The Hess Collection

by Diana Greenwood
The road that leads to The Hess Collection winds up and up, green and shady with bursts of hillside meadow and lingering silver fog. The winery and magnificent contemporary art museum sit atop Mount Veeder, a rugged, rocky ridge 2000 feet above the valley floor where the air is fresh and sweet and mineralrich soil inspires the vines. Tales of toil and triumph date back to the first recognized claim to the land in 1876 when a botanical garden resort, a small vineyard and winery were established and continuously since that first venture, grapes have thrived here. In 1900, Col. Theodore Gier, a prominent wine merchant and leader in the California wine industry, bought the property and built the three-story stone winery that continues to showcase The Hess Collection art museum today. One sip of Napa Valley wine and a single glimpse of this place drew Donald Hess to Mount Veeder in 1978. A Swiss entrepreneur, Donald expanded his ninth-generation family brewing business into mineral water, restaurants, agriculture and vineyards. Determined to create exceptional wine, he renovated the circa 1903 building built by Gier, adding state-ofthe-art winemaking equipment, a tasting room and a visitors center, then filled it with visionary art from his personal collection. Since the doors opened in 1989, the public has been welcome to visit, sample the wines, and take complimentary, self-guided tours of the permanent exhibition of contemporary art and sculpture by American and European artists. The work is vivid, commanding, and thought provoking, selected to evoke emotional response and stir the heart. In 2009, a rare work of famed British artist, Andy Goldsworthy, was added to the collection. The piece, Surface Tension, is a network of chestnut leaf stalks held together with hawthorn thorns that also attach the work to the walls, ceiling, and floor. Its breathtaking; an example of the passion of this highly regarded environmental sculptor. Its easy to understand why Donald Hess is committed to Goldsworthys work as evidenced by his personal philosophy: Nurture the land; return what you take. The return here is a thing of beauty. Although Donald Hess retired in July, he remains very much involved with this special place. When you visit, expect to be enchanted. The winery is best known for its flagship Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay wines, and single vineyard designates from estate vineyards in Napa Valley. The Hess Collection portfolio is comprised of Hess Collection Mount Veeder Estate wines, Hess Napa Valley wines and Hess Select wines. Varietals include Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, classic Bordeaux blends, Petite Sirah, Late Harvest Chardonnay and small-production wines exclusive to the winery. Each year Hess sets aside 1% of sales from the Hess Collection Small Block Series of limitedrelease wines available exclusively to Hess Collectors Club members and visitors who purchase the wines at the winery. Further contributions are generated during an annual promotion known as Chardonnay Month when the winery suggests that It Is Easy Being Green, letting consumers know that sales of the popular Hess Select and Hess Collection Napa Valley Chardonnays will generate donations for 1% For The Planet. A growing global movement, companies donate 1% of sales for local environmental programs. The Hess Collection is a long-time member, each year selecting worthy Napa organizations for support. In the tasting room, rustic stone walls are the backdrop for the elegant tasting counter. For $10 per person, walk-in visitors and groups of eight or fewer are invited to sample four current release wines. Larger groups should call the winerys guest relations staff at (707) 255-1144 ex.226. Vineyard and winery tours are complimentary and take place daily between 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. There are delicious experiences waiting for you if you call ahead and one of them is the Tour of the Palate where youll enjoy a guided tour of the art museum followed by a tasting of three current wines expertly paired with three exquisite creations from Hess Collections Executive Chef, Chad Hendrickson.

The Hess Collection was among the first wineries to receive certification for the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance by third-party certification. The most recent accolade comes from the Great Wine Capitals Global Network, an alliance of nine international wine regions founded in 1999. The Hess Collection won the Best of Tourism Award for Art and Culture in the San Francisco/Napa Valley region because of its continued success and leadership in connecting the worlds of wine and art in a unique combination that allows guests an experience that touches the senses in many ways. The Hess Collection is indeed an experience that will stimulate your senses.

WINE COUNTRY NEWS | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK
Winemaker Profile: Hop Kiln Winery
Chuck Mansfield
by Charles Neave
By any standard, the 2011 vintage has been for want of a better word interesting. On days when it should have been sunny and warm it was foggy and cool. In weeks when rain was unheard of, it rained. And so on. It vexes winemakers, but the best of them accept it, work with it (or around it) and in the end sometimes those trying years create spectacular wines. This may very well be the case this year; yields may be down (about 30 percent on average), but for the consumer, whats in the bottle of Hop Kilns HKG Estate Russian River Valley varietals may prove to be a rare treat. HKG Estate Winemaker Chuck Mansfields formative years were spent not in the lab or in a winery but in the vineyards of El Dorado County, where his father was a grower. He followed up with an Oenology/Viticulture degree from CalPoly before he went to study viticulture in Australia. This all provides him with a very modern perspective and is a perfect fit for this Hop Kilns future. I think our advantage is that we have property on both sides of the Russian River and up into the hills to the west, he said, speaking amidst the hectic activity of this years crush. What I want to showcase is the difference in the properties we have planted, while using a minimalist approach on the crush pad. I like to keep things really clean in the winemaking process. To me that means controlling the fermentation, controlling the temperature and then letting the fruit speak for itself. When it comes to Pinot Noir, when you get heavy-handed it can over-react, so I try to approach it with the idea that if it aint broke, dont fix it. That works particularly well with the premium grapes we have access to. Throughout the year we work tirelessly in the vineyards, so by the time we are ready to make wine we are on a trajectory to make great wines. When you visit Hop Kiln Winery in one of the richest agricultural parts of Sonoma County, you will hear their philosophy that it is all about Honoring the past, and handcrafting the future. When you start with a 250-acre piece of prime property known as Sweet Water Springs Ranch, and a building that dates back to 1905, all in the Russian River Valley, you pretty much have it all. The ranch property became a wine producing destination in 1975, when grapes, not hops (the original crop that was shipped to the brewmasters of Washington State) became the crop and the original kilns became working space for a winery and tasting room. So relax, purchase a bottle of one of their HKG Estate varietals (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio), get some good local cheese and sausage from the deli case, a loaf of bread (they supply glasses, cutting board and knife) and sit outside overlooking the pond. The unique and historic tasting room at Hop Kiln Winery is located at 6050 Westside Road in Healdsburg, and is open daily from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. For more information, call (707) 433-6491 or go to their comprehensive website at www.hopkilnwinery.com. The HKG Estate Russian River Valley wines can be tasted at Hop Kiln Winerys historic tasting room located at 6050 Westside Road in Healdsburg, and is open daily from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.. (707) 433-6491. The wines are also available at their HKG Estate Tasting Room in Glen Ellen, (707) 938-7622. For more information visit the website at www.hopkilnwinery.com.

Spend the Holidays with Gloria Ferrer

In celebration of the 25th anniversary year of Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards, its appropriate to reflect on the beginnings of this storied Sonoma Carneros winery. It began as a love story. Call it a premonition. Call it a womans intuition. Call it a dream come true. Gloria and Jos Ferrer were visiting Sonoma from their home in Spain in the early 1980s. The beauty of rolling Carneros hillsides underscoring an impossibly blue sky, of sun-drenched vineyards and cool afternoon breezes captured Glorias imagination. It reminded her of Catalonia. In a letter she later wrote to her husband she reminisced, Wouldnt it be wonderful to spend more time here, she wrote, to plant vineyards and one day make California wine? In 1986, Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards became the Sonoma Carneros regions first sparkling wine house. These last 25 years have been the fulfillment of a dream for the Ferrers Gloria, Jos and their sons, Pedro and Jos Maria. For this family with a centuries-long history of winegrowing in Spain, Gloria Ferrer began as a tribute to Jos Ferrers father, who aspired to bring the Ferrer family tradition of making mthode champenoise sparkling wine to the new world. For this humble yet extremely successful family, who own and manage 18 wineries in six countries on four continents, Gloria Ferrer is the gem in their crown. It is the winery that Jos named for his beloved wife. Sweeping views from the Gloria Ferrer tasting room are especially dramatic during autumn when there is no better place to be than sipping wines in Sonoma Carneros. Guests can enjoy and purchase the special 25th Anniversary Cuve, and learn how 25 glorious years of making sparkling and estate varietal wines primarily from grapes grown sustainably on their estate vineyards translates into these highly acclaimed wines. From the 2011 Sonoma County Harvest Fair Sweepstakes winning 2007 Brut Ros, to the 2000 Carneros Cuve, which recently received 95 points from the Wine Enthusiast magazine, to the 2004 Royal Cuve, which won Best of Show at the 2011 Sommelier Challenge, balanced and elegant wines abound. During the month of November, wines can be shipped to family and friends anywhere in the United States for $5 per case. Also, choice bottlings of Gloria Ferrer Pinot Noir will be sold at special prices throughout the month of November.
meal. Gloria Ferrers vineyard and winemaking teams cultivate and select the best fruit possible from estate Carneros vineyards for the Chardonnay and four estate Pinot Noir wines.
Holiday Traditions at Gloria Ferrer

Join Gloria Ferrer for their annual Catalan Holiday Luncheon, Sunday December 4, 2011 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This Catalan-inspired luncheon features a traditional Spanish feast complemented by Gloria Ferrer Sparkling wines. Ring in the new year by immersing yourself in the Catalan tradition of Three Kings Day, Sunday January 8, 2012, 4 to 5 p.m. A performance of the Epiphany celebrates the Spanish tradition El Dia de los Reyes Magos or Three Kings Day, while guests enjoy sipping a glass of award-winning sparkling wine followed by a sample of traditional Spanish Holiday Rosca bread and hot chocolate. To find out more about both celebrations, contact: special.events@gloriaferrer.com.

The Winery at Reata Opens in Napa Valley

New Vision for Historic Rancho Property
The Winery at Reata has opened the doors to its stunning California coastal lodge, located in the rolling hills that were part of General Vallejos sprawling Suscol Rancho more than 150 years ago. The winery invites guests from around the world to enjoy its newly landscaped grounds, gracious hospitality and a wine tasting experience that is unique within the Napa Valley. Reata has some of the most beautiful views in the Northern California Wine Country, said Alyssa OHare, co-founder and president for Reata. I was raised on a working ranch in Oregon, and this estate is magical for me. From our veranda you can see the whole panorama from the Napa Valley to San Pablo Bay. Its a wonderful place to appreciate the beauty of this area. We want people kick back and stay a while, says OHare.

Ca Momi Enoteca Bakes History in Napa

Ca Momi becomes the only pizzeria in Napa that is officially certified Authentic Neapolitan Pizza
Ca Momi, an Obsessively Authentic Italian pizzeria and wine bar located in the Oxbow Public Market in Napa, has been certified by the Verace Pizza Napoletana (VPN) Association, an Italian government designation that oversees the requirements of Neapolitan pizza making. This special certification recognizes those pizzerias that respect the culinary tradition of the true Neapolitan pizza. Ca Momi Enoteca is the only restaurant in Napa to achieve this certification and becomes only the fifth restaurant in California to do so. Fewer than sixty restaurants have received this certification in the United States. Its not surprising that the three Italian-born owners of Ca Momi Enoteca and Winery, Dario De Conti, Valentina Guolo-Migotto and Stefano Migotto, are dedicated to bringing a sense of craftsmanship to Ca Momi pizza, just as they have done in crafting their Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Rosso, Bianco and more. The full portfolio of wine varietals is available at the Enoteca and online. Dario, along with Stefano are also Ca Momis winemakers. The dedication to pizza authenticity began with both Valentina Guolo-Migotto and Dario De Conti traveled to VPN in Marina Del Rey to master the art of making pizzas the Neapolitan way. Their rigorous course of study included instruction in the proper ingredients to be
used, the method of preparation and most importantly the need for a wood-fired oven, which is a prerequisite. Like every good food, the recipe starts with the best ingredients. At Ca Momi Enoteca they use only Tipo 00 flour, San Marzano tomatoes, all natural Fior di Latte or Bufala mozzarella, fresh basil, salt and yeast only fresh, all-natural, unprocessed ingredients. Any other ingredients included on their pizzas are local, organic and sustainably produced. Importantly, the use of organic and local ingredients reflects Dario DeConti & Fredy Rodriguez the personal beliefs of the three owners. Continuing in the authentic mode, all pizza dough must be kneaded by hand or with a low-speed mixer. The pizzas, themselves must be hand-formed using no machines, not even a rolling pin. Once the wood-fired oven kisses the pizza, it should cook in exactly 90 seconds. Ca Momis oven is fired up at 900 degrees. Thats hot! Pizza making was not a new science to Dario De Conti. To fund his college studies he began making pizzas at an early age in Italy. His certification from VPN was the icing on his 20-year pursuit of the best pizza. We are incredibly proud of receiving this certification by the esteemed VPN Association, said restaurant co-owner and pizza chef Dario De Conti. Our goal is to create an authentic Italian experience for our patrons, and the VPN certification truly validates that what you eat at Ca Momi is what you would find in Italy. We want everyone in Napa and Bay Area visitors to experience a little slice of Italy. Pizza itself is hundreds of years old, first started as a street snack in Naples, Italy. At the end of the 19th century an enterprising royal chef, invented the Pizza Margherita to honor the Queen Margherita, the reunification of Italy and the red, green and white components of the flag. The pizza took its red from the San Marzano tomatoes, green from the basil and white from the fresh mozzarella. Today, you can enjoy a pizza Margherita in the colors of the Italian tricolore at Ca Momi Enoteca and be assured that they have been awarded the Verace Pizza Napoletana Associations highest honor. Ca Momi Enoteca is located in the Oxbow Public Market at 610 First Street, Napa. Visit the website at www.camomi.com.

The Napa Back Road

Visit Napas Little Sister, Sui
If this is one of your many visits to the wine country, you are no doubt looking for something a little different. So why not change things up and take the road less travelled through Suisun Valley The Napa Back Road. We all no doubt have our favorites, but we are always looking to one up our friends back home. Yes, that never ending search for something new and refreshing, but still preserving all that made you first fall in love with the whole Wine Country Experience. If you are staying in Downtown Napa, do you realize you are just approximately 15 to 20 minutes away from a valley that preserved what Napa was in the 1960s? However, the wines at such places like Vezer Family Vineyard and the Blue Victorian Winery take advantage of both the old traditions, such as 100% hand punched down wines, along with implementing the important new techniques learned from those great California winemakers over the last 50 years. This Suisun Valley has been a long-time held secret in the wine country. In fact, many of the locals try to continue this secret, simply because it is where they go to still experience those old feelings of days gone by. Suisun Valley is where you can find wines that would sell for over $150 a bottle at the popular better known tourist destinations in Napa, for $30 to $60. These same wines have 94, 95 and 97 point rankings and medals from the greatest national and international competitions! Come make your own dreams come true in Suisun (Sue-soon) Valley Napas Little Sister Sui.

Tasting Room of the Week:

by Josh Stein
Raymond Vineyards
Lots and Lots of Tasting Options, Including the New Theatre of Nature
Holy cow, has Raymond Vineyards (under new owners Boisset Family Estates) turned a winery visit into a wine country experience! Raymond has been well known for great wines, but they have not always been known for their presentation of those wines. When the Boisset family bought the property, they did so precisely because of their respect for the people, effort and time that have been evident in the stewardship of the land and the resulting wines. This philosophy of preserving what works while adding what can make it work better goes to the heart of the current Raymond Vineyards hospitality transformation, and its this explosion of consumer-centric tasting experiences, including the new Theatre of Nature, which makes them our Tasting Room of the Week. Raymond Vineyards became part of the Boisset Family Estates collection of wineries in 2009 with the expressed goal of rejuvenating the estate and propelling it forward into its fifth decade and beyond. Boisset Family Estates is well known around the wine world for this kind of rejuvenation in Burgundy, Beaujolais, the Rhone Valley, and in the south of France, and theyve channeled all thats been learned through multiple decades into the newly re-designed Raymond Vineyards hospitality experiences. As regards the wines and as befits an estate as varied as this one, the Boissets have introduced a variety of tasting options and events to accommodate a range of lifestyles and experiences, or as theyll tell you when you visit, Theres something for everyone. If youre looking for the classic American tasting room experience, the Main Tasting Room presents Raymond favorites, stellar Cabernets and a number seasonal, winery-only releases. If youre looking to see how great Napa Cabernet ages, the Library Rooms access to vertical flights is the place to be. If youre into the presentation of wine and wine service, of how aeration, particularly in Baccarat decanters, has an impact on whats in the glass, then the Crystal Rooms Earth & Air sensory experience is something not to be missed. The options dont end there, however. The Barrel Room, candlelit and intimate, is available to host small groups, allowing for barrelsampling of wines prior to bottling a very unique way of gaining some winemaker insight. The Rutherford Room shows off the current fifteen Napa Valley sub-appellations, and the Blending Rooms focus is on creating wines greater than their parts. On the flip side, if the enjoyment of wine as part of your exclusive, excitement-filled life sounds more like you, the Red Room presents a distinctive Napa Valley winery experience: wine and entertainment, complete with music, video games and the exclusive Raymond Red Room wine, all reserved specifically for club members. Equally, the Grove presents plenty of familyfriendly activities that showcase wine country life: croquet,
badminton, basketball, bocce and ptanque. There is a firepit for grilling and an orchard with more than a dozen offerings. The view from the Generations Platform even gives an elevated, in-person perspective of the majesty of the valley views. The newest and most exciting of these offerings, though, is the Theatre of Nature, and its been designed with a wide range of visitors in mind, including those not old enough to partake of the winerys offerings. The one-and-a-half-acre Theatre of Nature uses plant and animal life to explain the natural winegrowing philosophy in action around you on the property; it foregrounds how all the actors in the system play a crucial part in crafting quality wine, from the soil to the vineyardist to larger forces such as the lunar cycle. Designed by Jeff Cox and Jeff Dawson, whose previous wine country landscaping design was done for Fetzer and Copia, the educational exhibits and programs focus on grapegrowing and Biodynamics in five acts. There is a farming demonstration to show the impact of compost on growing conditions, discussion of different grape varieties, and lots of material on vineyard-adjacent herb, fruit and covercrop impact on wines. Equally, the role of animals, chicken, sheep and goats, and their place in an interconnected system is emphasized, as well as areas set aside for Biodynamic preparations. Whimsical, creative sculptures accompany all of this, making for a true theatre of possibilities. If it hasnt been obvious from the above, Napa is most definitely changing, and its impressive to see how Raymond Vineyards is handling such a transformation so smoothly. Boisset Family Estates has brought its hospitality knowledge, honed in wineries throughout the world, to good use, producing wines emblematic of the estates past while most definitely heralding its bright future with innovative ways to share them. Come see for yourself what others will be talking about for decades to come! Raymond Vineyards is located at 849 Zinfandel Lane, St. Helena, and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For reservations or more information, call (707) 963-3141.

Purity of Style and Form

RASgalleries presents Three Artists. Three Techniques. Pure Creativity.
As autumn rolls out its rich warm colors, RASgalleries, Yountvilles prestigious American art glass gallery located at 6540 Washington Street, meets the moment with fresh, pure and exciting new work by Jack Storms, Bandhu Dunham and Abby Modell. The three artists bring a noble sense of purity to their works, though their styles and artistic backgrounds vary considerably. When we think of purity, we think perfection clean, flawless. This was the inspiration for bringing the uniquely different glass sculptures of Jack Storms and Bandhu Dunham, together with the snow white, iridized hot glass vessels of new gallery artist, Abby Modell, explains owner, Ronda Schaer. Clients will enjoy seeing completely different pieces created by using completely different techniques but all in the pureness of what is technically colorless. Jack Storms masters his cold glass technique by drawing on modern technology to create his one-of akind sculptures. For each piece, Storms uses the highest quality leaded crystal and optical glass with extreme clarity and great light refracting capability. This is combined with diachroic film, a thin molecular coating of pure metals reflecting two or more colors. Layers are then bonded to small polished crystal blocks to create multi-dimensional core pieces. After bonding to larger blocks of crystal and allowing for curing, the piece is ready for Jack to begin sculpting. A finished piece may have up to 100 small pieces of diachroic, crystal and optical glass making this an intensely laborious technique. Bandhu Dunham taught himself to lampwork (or torchwork), a glass technique that uses a gas fueled torch to melt rods and tubes of low melting point soft glass. Once in a molten state, the glass is formed by blowing or shaping with tools and hand movements. Lampworking differs from glassblowing in that a glassblower uses a blowpipe to inflate a bubble, whereas lampworking manipulates glass either by use of tools, gravity or blowing directly into the end of a glass tube. Influenced by her parents extensive art glass collection, Abbey Modell was destined to develop a passion for glass at an early age. She began her career as a fashion and fabrics designer and became inspired to translate movement and pattern into her glass vessels and sculpture. She is fascinated by the different hot glass blowing techniques from the Venetian era through contemporary master glass craftsmen such as Chihuly, Littleton & Venini. Combining her modern approach with traditional methods has led her to establish a unique statement in each piece. Visit RASgalleries, 6540 Washington Street (next to Bouchon) in Yountville, Napa Valley daily, except Tuesdays, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (707) 944-9211, email to rasart60@aol.com or on Facebook.

Welcome to
By Charles Neave
CALISTOGA
has the only cottage remaining at its original location. Though just minutes from the center of town, the quiet comes from being on a residential side street off Lincoln Avenue. The only noise (and little at that) comes from the parrot raised next door, and pets are welcome in most of the rooms. While you are there also be sure to take advantage of the concierge-like service included in the very reasonable rates. You are encouraged to ask as many questions as you can think of. Doug and Judy Cook, owners and innkeepers, are knowledgeable, patient and understanding. Especially with their guests and with Pinot Grigio. They also have developed great relationships with local businesses that can save visitors money at restaurants, wineries and tasting rooms, and spas. Judy prepares the daily breakfast, which is delicious and perfect fare to get you prepared for a day of spa treatments, or for winery visits or a walk or even for the ambitious a hike. And on Friday evenings local winemakers pour their best, accompanied by Judys hors doeuvres. The Brannan Cottage Inn is located at 109 Wapoo Avenue in Calistoga. Look on www.brannancottageinn.com or call them at (707) 942-4200.

Pamper Yourself for the Holidays at Brannan Cottage Inn

Calistoga sits at the northern end of the Napa Valley, a county where there is no lack of individuality, history, beautiful scenery and a wide array of unique geographical features. Sam Brannan was, after the Native Americans, one of the first to recognize the special allure and qualities of this land, with geothermal hot springs that still fuel the spas that dot downtown, offering spa treatments, hot mud baths and soaks in the naturally preheated water. He, maybe more than anyone, put this town on the map, drawing settlers, then later tourists, some of whom built the cottages and sprawling Victorian homes. These are all factors that make Calistoga the consummate walking town, both for its compactness and for its diversity of shops, architecture and restaurants from bars and barbecue and casual to fine dining. And there is nowhere better a place to start than by booking a room at the Brannan Cottage Inn. The property is an historic treasure and is officially confirmed as such. The six rooms are charming, each with their own bathroom (one with a claw-foot bath tub), all have in-room refrigerators, and two mini-suites are spacious and charming. The inn also comes with a resident Jack Russell terrier named, fittingly, after a grape varietal: Pinot Grigio. The main building at the inn was constructed in 1860 by Samuel Brannan, entrepreneur that he was. Of the original 25 cottages at his original Calistoga Hot Springs Resort, only three remain and the Inn

Tasting Room of the Week:
Armida Winery
By Sue Straight, the Wine Wench
Heaven and Hell, PoiZin (Armidas signature Zinfandel) and Antidote (Armidas Pinot Grigio), big fun and great wines at reasonable prices are what come to mind when I think about Armida Winery. The owners and staff describe it as wines to remember in a place youll never forget I must agree Ive been a fan for years. Armida Winery is definitely an unforgettable place! If youve ever come to Armida Winery for Dry Creek Valleys Passport event, the Heaven and Hell theme that they decorate the cellar with is always a topic of conversation, long after the event is over. Located not far from Healdsburg on Westside Road, Armida Winery sits atop a vineyard-striped knoll. Wend your way up the driveway and you are in for a real treat! To start with, the views from the oak-shaded deck/picnic area and bocce court are unforgettable the Russian River Valley unfolds before your eyes in a glorious patchwork of vineyards, trees and hills. The winery itself is a geodesic dome, the practical reason, according to designer Buckminster Fuller, would be that The sphere uses the doing more with less principle in that it encloses the largest volume of interior space with the least amount of surface area, thus saving on materials and cost. The Armida reason is cause it looks cool. Brothers Bruce and Steve Cousins purchased controlling interest from Steve Frugoli in 1994 and have brought a whole new meaning to the term family owned winery. They are actively involved in all aspects of the winery. These guys love what they do and it shows the whole atmosphere at Armida Winery is one of delicious fun, with a bit of mischief thrown in. The wines are seriously good, but the folks at Armida Winery dont take themselves too seriously. Theres not an ounce of pretension here, folks! There is a member of the A Team - Winemaker, Brandon Lapides (formerly of DuttonGoldfield Winery) recently joined the crew and everyone is excited about moving into the future with him. Since its inception, Armida Winery has partnered with some of the best grape growers in Sonoma County and has continually produced world-class wines. Now, with Brandon at the winemaking helm, this partnership should be more delicious than ever! The tasting room is light, bright and airy feeling, with an octagonal shaped wooden bar that is staffed by friendly and knowledgeable servers. Although Armida wines may be found in restaurants and wine shops around the country, the vast majority of their wines are sold right there in the tasting room and to their devoted wine club members. Be sure to visit this unforgettable place and tell them The Wine Wench sent you! Armida Winery is located at 2201 Westside Road, just outside of Healdsburg. The tasting room is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. For more information, call (707) 433-2222, check them out on Facebook or Twitter or visit their website at www.armida.com.

Mayo Family Winery

Sweeping Gold at the Sonoma County Harvest Fair
by Michelle J. Baker
Theres a brand new vein of gold over at the corner of Highway 12 and Arnold Drive in Glen Ellen, and it doesnt take any prospecting at all to find it. Just buzz down to Mayo Family Winery and take a gander at the built-in bookcase in the tasting room where, on display, are the winerys nine gold medals they won at the 2011 Sonoma County Harvest Fair. The annual Harvest Fair, Sonoma Countys top wine competition, this year saw more than 1,000 wine entries from 210 wineries. The 25 professional wine judges awarded just 161 gold medals. There are two men behind the gold-medal sweep for Mayo Family Winery. Winery president Jeffrey Mayo has fostered solid long-term relationships with the Sonoma County growers who supply some of the winerys grapes. At the same time, Mayo has done a great job of developing the winerys two estate vineyards, Laurel Hill Vineyard at the foot of Sonoma Mountain and Ricci Vineyard in the Russian River Valley. Meanwhile, winemaker Mike Berthoud has shown tremendous skill in his ability to, on one end of the spectrum make big, robust wines like the Ricci Old Vine Reserve Zinfandel, and on the other delicate, pretty wines like the Best of Class Late Harvest Gewurztraminer. What is most notable about Berthouds winemaking style is how varietal his wines are. Thats to say if you are curious to know what Grenache tastes like, try Mayos goldmedal-winning version, which has textbook brightness, red berry fruit and pepper-like spice. Since their big sweep at the Harvest Fair, the winery has introduced a gold-medal flight to make it easy for visitors to taste through the winners. For just $10, you can work your way down the list from the Alicante Bouschet, a wine made in a delightfully savory style that makes it a perfect pair for braised short ribs or other winter fare, to the zippy, tangy Zinfandels to a soft, succulent Cabernet Sauvignon. Finish off the award winning flight with a taste of Zinfandel Port, or ask the staff if they have that Best of Class Late Harvest Gewurztraminer, the ideal Thansgiving dessert wine, hiding behind the bar. Of course, you may also want to check out the rest of the Mayo wines which include a wide range for all tastes. Included in the Mayo portfolio is Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Petite Sirah, Malbec and even a fantastic sparkling wine. Visit Mayo Family Winery in any one of three convenient locations in Sonoma Valley: 13101 Arnold Drive (at Highway 12) in Glen Ellen; the Mayo Reserve Room at 9200 Sonoma Highway in Kenwood; and at the Cellar Door, 1395 Broadway in Sonoma.

Wine Tasting from

TREASURE ISLAND to LIVERMORE
Meet The Wine Mavericks of Treasure Island
by Denise Kouzoujian
What are mavericks? Well, there are many ways to describe these prominent individuals: Forward thinking, headstrong, passionate, unique people, who are willfully independent, brutally honest, full of conviction and integrity, and make great wine! Todays destination: Treasure Island San Franciscos coolest wine stop! 1. Robert Amox, vintner and winemaker of Bodega Wine Estates, Knightswood Vineyards and Winery is a native San Franciscan who began his journey as a grape grower in the Russian River Valley. Over the past five years, he has been making wine on TI from grapes sourced from his Sonoma County home base. Robert is often in the tasting room, greeting guests, answering questions, and exchanging wonderful recipes! Food and wine are not just inseparable, they are one and the same he says. My objective is to craft memorable wines with depth and longevity, to be enjoyed around the table with friends. 2. Josh Stein, vintner and winemaker of Stein Family Wines & Just Joshin Wines Sharing a location with Robert Amox, at Bodega Wine Estates, Joshs wines are truly delectable! Come in and taste Just Joshin 2007 Tempranillo, received an 89 Best Buy, 2009 SemiDry Gewrztraminer, received a 92 points, and the new 2010 Sonoma County Chardonnay thats soon to be released. In addition, Stein Family Wines takes it one step further, donating 5% of all sales to children of vineyard workers in the form of college scholarships and support funding. Its all good! 3. Stewart Johnson, grape grower and winemaker of Kendric Vineyards Among the first to plant pinot noir in Marin County, Stew is the newest Maverick to join the early adopters on Treasure Island. Its no wonder TI has turned into a winemakers enclave affordable space, cool weather, proximity to San Francisco and the East Bay, and the view coming off the bridge are all obvious points in its favor. Beyond this, there is also a wide open, Wild West vibe to the place. It feels like a good place practice your craft in your own way. Construction well under way, Kendric Vineyards tasting room Grand Opening is just around the bend. 4. Bryan Kane, vintner and winemaker at The Winery SF located in , the Renovated Naval Hangar I dont consider myself a maverick. Im a San Francisco resident that is passionate about making wine. After making wine up in Napa and Sonoma for years, I wanted to bring the winery experience to San Francisco and share it with my friends, family and community. I cant think of a better place to do it than on the waterfront along San Francisco Bay with the best views of our great city! Take a trip to Treasure Island, visit these fantastic winemakers, and raise a glass to Robert, Josh, Stewart and Bryan The Wine Mavericks of Treasure Island. Tell them I sent you!

Discover Livermore Valley Wine Country
Livermore Wine Country: Pedigree Without Pretense

by Laura Ness
Livermore wine country has it all: historic charm, breathtaking vistas, easy accessibility and a growing cache of small artisanal wineries making worldclass wines. The only east-west winegrowing valley in California, it ushers in cooling winds and fog from The Bay, creating perfect conditions for rich, unctuous Petite Sirah, and elegant, cassisladen Cabernet. And thats just the beginning. the touch of a master. The 2009 scored a doublegold and his 2008 Supremacy Bordeaux blend recently scored 90 points from Wine Enthusiast. Not bad for a kid. Nottingham Cellars is open Friday through Sunday, noon til 4:30 p.m.
Winemaker Collin Cranor, Nottingham Cellars
Occasio Sets New Standard for Petit Verdot

Owner John Kinney is dedicated to Heritage varietals, emphasizing two of them, Petite Sirah and Cabernet, in his brilliantly drinkable Sotte Voce blend. His 2008 Petit Verdot, though, is a magnificent steed of velvety yet visceral beauty, proving this variety could be Livermores true dark horse claim to fame. It garnered a record 92 points from Wine Enthusiast, the highest score ever awarded to this varietal.
Nottingham Knocks Another One Out of the Petite Sirah Park

Winemaker Collin Cranor is just 25 years old, but he makes Petite Sirah from Julio Covarrubias meticulously farmed Casa de Vinas vineyard with

Exclusive Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Tasting

Premier Cruz is the first exclusively Cabernet tasting of the Santa Cruz Mountains Wines. On November 13, from 3 to 7 p.m., guests will have an opportunity to sample some of the finest examples from this cool climate appellation. Several rare older vintages will be offered. Set in the historic Opera House in downtown Los Gatos, this is a perfect opportunity to meet the winemakers and taste world class wines accompanied by light appetizers. This years tasting will include library wines from many of our distinguished wineries. Two of the proposed wines to be featured will be a 1978 from Ridge Vineyards and a 1984 from Mount Eden Vineyards. yard in the foothills above Cupertino. Pierre Klein purchased 160 acres on Monte Bello Ridge naming his winery Mira Valle. This property, called Jimsomare today, is part of the Ridge Monte Bello Vineyard. In 1883, Dr. John Stewart planted Cabernet at Etha Hill in Scotts Valley, and in 1884 E.H. Rixford planted his La Questa vineyard in Woodside. La Questa is the oldest continually producing cabernet vineyard in California; its two surviving half-acre parcels are included in Woodside Vineyards Cabernet. By 1889, there were more than 100 planted acres of Bordeaux varieties in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Today, there are approximately 250 acres. The poor soils and cooler climate of these mountains are well suited to Cabernet Sauvignon. The style that results is more Euopean in structure.
Cabernet Sauvignon from the Santa Cruz Mountains

This famous grape variety first gained importance in Bordeaux in the early 19th century and reached California some sixty years later. The earliest plantings of Cabernet in the Santa Cruz Mountains appear in the late 1870's when William Pfeffer developed his vineTO SAN JOSE TO MONTEREY

November Brings A Cornucopia of Thanksgiving

by Laura Ness
With the arrival of November, the pace of life impossibly quickens. How could it get any crazier, we wonder, as the impending holidays drive us inexorably forward as if smacked by an invisible whip. Some vineyards will still be hanging fruit, awaiting the final pick of the season, while others will be thankfully pressing off last fermentations into barrel, ready to put a fork in the 2011 harvest, pop the cork and commence celebrating. Shall we begin? Thursday, November 3rd, the Summit to Sea wineries welcome you to a special Santa Cruz Mountains winemaker dinner at California Caf in Los Gatos, where petite sirah from Poetic Cellars will be among the wines featured for a very unique evening of local cuisine by Chef Bobby Laggan. Call (408) 354-8118 for reservations. Dancing Creek holds its Harvest Celebration on Saturday, November 12, while Burrell School will participate in the all Bordeaux headliner Premier Cruz event at the Opera House in Los Gatos, on November 13th. Tickets are available at www.scmwa.com.
Passport to Thanksgiving, November 19

The Summit to Sea wineries welcome you to Passport to Thanksgiving, November 19. Stock up on Pinot at all locations you can never have too much Pinot! On Sunday, November 20, theyll kick off Share Your Holiday, a food drive to benefit Second Harvest Food Bank. Bring a non-perishable food item to any of the five wineries on the S2S wine trail and youll receive a special pour of something sweet Port, perhaps? Donations can be purchased at The Summit Store, so stop on in and get something for yourself and something for those not quite as fortunate; runs November 20 through December 24. tons of the stuff from other areas, so fear not. Rumor has it theyve got a sparkling in the offing, too.
Saratoga by Candlelight: Friday, November 25, 4-7pm

The second annual holiday wine stroll in beautifully decorated downtown Saratoga will feature all the wineries from the Summit to Sea wine trail, plus Villa del Monte and over a dozen others. This beautiful tradition adds a charitable twist: each stroll participant donating new clothing or food will receive a $5 raffle ticket towards special prizes. Tickets at saratogachamber.org Were all immensely grateful for the opportunity to share with those who are in need. Lets never forget to give thanks for our own fortunes, especially for our friends and family. Each holiday season gives us a new opportunity to share the magic and wonder of the human experience. We hope Generosity, Charity and Respect will be the watchwords of the day: thats what the original event was all about anyway.
Thanksgiving Dinner Demands Pinot!

Each of the Summit to Sea wineries will be offering their gorgeous local Pinots for your holiday enjoyment throughout the month of November. Burrell School launches the 2007 Principals Choice, just in time for the holidays. Theres nothing like Pinot to make poultry sing whether its chicken, duck, turkey or all three in one! Have you ever done Turducken? Give it a shot. Its great with a stuffing of wild rice and cranberries, glazed with a combination of Tabithas Onion Jam and B&R Farms apricot and red pepper marinade, both available at Poetic Cellars. And speaking of stuffing, put some heady Loma Prieta Pinotage on your holiday beverage menu also: its got the stuffing to hold up to whatever is on the menu, including lamb, ham or goose. Paul and Amy only got one barrels worth of estate Pinot and Pinotage off their vineyard this year: cant wait to try that. However, they crushed 19
