intelligence for the Wine conSUMer by Len Napolitano
How does wine get color?

White wine, ros wine and red wine span a range of color from very pale yellow to pink to deep purple. Theres a world of differences among the styles of these wines and the ways they are made. But the way in which they each achieve their own degree of color is simply dependent upon how much time the grape skins spend in contact with the grape juice. As the juice from crushed red grapes remains in contact with the grape skins, the pigments of the skins add color to the juice. This is called maceration time. Depending on the wine and the winemakers preference, it could last from several days to several weeks. The longer the maceration period, the darker the wines final color. Throughout the maceration, the skins tend to rise to the top, from the carbon dioxide that is released during fermentation. This cap of skins is regularly pushed back into the juice or punched down, to extract as much color from the skins as possible. Before white wine is fermented, the juice is separated from the skins, thereby having little or no contact with the grape skins. White wine can be made from either red or white grapes because the juice coming from any grape is always clear, but only red grapes will be used to make red wine. When ros wine is being made, the grape skins are left in contact with the fermenting juice for a time period just long enough to create a pink-colored juice. Then the skins are removed and the remaining juice is fermented in the same manner as juice for making white wine.

Alexanders Crown Vineyard

The Perfect Place to Make and Taste World Class Wines!
BY MONICA L. DASHWOOD
Summer Concert Series
11455 Old Redwood Highway Healdsburg, CA 95448 (707) 431-1533 www.rodneystrong.com
At Rodney Strong Vineyards, place matters, and not just any place. Rodney Strong Vineyards, located just off Highway 101, three miles south of Healdsburg, is the perfect place to grow and produce grapes exclusively from their 14 unique estate vineyards in Sonoma Countys finest appellations: Alexander Valley, Russian River Valley, Chalk Hill and Sonoma Coast. These ideal lands embody a perfect combination of varietal selection and place, the unique soil and climate, as well as farming and winemaking techniques. With more than 50 years of winemaking experience, Rodney Strong Vineyards has become an iconic brand, known for its single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Rodney Strong, a pioneer and visionary of Sonoma Countys modern wine industry, recognized the potential that Sonomas soil and climate held for producing world-class wines. In 1959, Rodney Strong established Sonoma Countys 13th bonded winery. He stood at the forefront of the industry, being the first to plant Pinot Noir in the Russian River Valley, the first to produce and release a Chalk Hill Chardonnay, and the first to make a single-vineyard Cabernet in Sonoma County. Since 1989, the Klein family, who has been involved in California agriculture for four generations, has privately owned the winery. Their passion for sustainable farming practices, solar power and other green business practices made them Sonoma Countys first carbon neutral winery. What stands out the most when you come to Rodney Strong Vineyards is their visible dedication to crafting world-class wines. Their self-guided tour walks you through the four seasons of the vineyard, showcases their stainless steel tanks and large oak casks and explains the importance of temperature controlled fermentation methods. Their guided tours, depending on the season, will take you through wines being pruned, sugar tasting of grapes or receive a crash course evaluating wines right out of the barrel. Tom Klein, proprietor says, When it comes to making great wine, there are no short cuts. You need to have great vineyards, an outstanding, disciplined team and the tools and patience to guide the unique qualities of that special place into the bottle. The winerys current offerings include Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Symmetry a red meritage wine, and a couple of single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons from Alexander Valley.

WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | FEATURE STORY

As for which wines to taste and take home, the 2008 Alexanders Crown, their flagship wine, is a must, from their single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Alexanders Crown is perched at the top of the hill in the southcenter of the Alexander Valley. The hill grapes are red in color, and tend to produce intense, bold, rich flavored wine. The Crown expresses Cabernet in an almost Bordeaux-like style, with ripe flavors centered on red fruit, soft tannins and balanced acidity. There are also a variety of delicious wines to choose from through their wine clubs: Symmetry Society and Collectors Circle. Symmetry Society includes Ultra-Select, limited availability wines such as the single vineyard Alexander Valley, 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2007 Rockaway Cabernet Sauvignon, 2007 Brothers Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as the 2008 Symmetry Meritage which scored 92 points from Wine Enthusiast. The Collectors Circle offers Estate, Reserve and winery exclusive wines, including their 2009 Syrah, Estate Vineyards, Dry Creek Valley and 2009 Rodney Strong Reserve Chardonnay, Russian River which scored 92 points from Wine Spectator, to name just a handful. Rodney Strong holds on-going events, such as the summer concert series, offering a season of fine food, wine and music. Wine tastings and selfguided tours are offered daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Rodney Strong Vineyards offers you a place, the perfect place to picnic, sample varietal wines you cant get anywhere else, and learn, in a fun and casual way, the fine art of winemaking.

ZD Wines first made its mark in 1969 with Pinot Noir, ZD co-founder Norman deLeuzes favorite wine varietal. He loved the wines from Burgundy, but he would eventually expand his winerys offerings to Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. The first ZD vintage consisted of 300 cases made in a rented farm building in 1968. They started with minimal investment of $6,000, an almost laughable amount for a winery start-up these days. In 1979, ZD moved to their current location in Rutherford. On this six-acre parcel, the deLeuze Family built a winery and in 1993 it was upgraded with state-of-the-art production technology and built a warm, inviting tasting room. Now, more than 40 years since that first vintage, ZD Wines has become internationally known for its consistent world-class wines and warm and personable visitor experiences. Today, the most exclusive and unique wine from ZD is Abacus. It is a Solera-style wine, which means it uses multiple vintages of wine in its complex and outstanding construction. In the case of Abacus, this will always include every vintage of ZDs award-winning Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, starting with the original vintage of 1992. The latest release of this spectacular wine, the Abacus XIII, consists of 19 consecutive vintages of ZD Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, from 1992 to 2010. With an annual production of just over 200 cases, the wine is hard to come by but well worth it when you do. ZD offers three very unique and exclusive ways to taste Abacus. You may call the winery to set up a private Abacus showing that includes a comprehensive tour of the cellar with barrel samples along with a sit down tasting that includes the rest of the reserve wines from ZD paired to cheese and charcuterie. In addition to this tasting, you could join the owners of ZD Wines, the deLeuze Family, along with their staff and winemaking team for either the Abacus Winter Wine Escape or an upcoming Abacus Brunch. The Winter Wine Escape takes place every year in January and is a weekend affair that includes a number of special events, and a wine dinner and lodging at one of the Napa Valleys finest resorts. If you cant wait for winter, you may want to attend the Abacus Brunch held the weekend of Auction Napa Valley. Less than twenty seats are available for this multi-course brunch paired to ZD Reserve Wines. It finishes with a vertical tasting of past Abacus releases. To find out more about Abacus or to attend one of these events, contact the winery. ZD has operated for more than 40 years and has always focused on conducting business in a sustainable manner. They knew early on that they wanted to farm organically and promote the health of the soil and the surrounding environment. To create healthy and nutrient rich soils, and the result will be vines that produce healthy grape with rich flavors, said CEO Robert deLeuze. Its all about the soil. Rich and denseyoull find the same characteristics in our wine.

Napa Cellars and Folie Deux

by Sue Straight, The Wine Wench
Located smack-dab in the middle of the Napa Valley is a comfortable, friendly place that offers great wines, an awesome gift shop, knowledgeable, helpful staff and picnic grounds, too! This place is home to Napa Cellars and Folie Deaux wines. Oh, and dont forget the Mnage Trois! The grounds are beautifully landscaped mounds of lavender and assorted colorful flowers delight the eye and nose and a fountain (which is actually their sign how cool is that?) burbles away merrily, delighting the ears. Around back is a grassy, tree-shaded picnic area, where visitors are invited to kick off their shoes and relax a while. The visitors center is a geodesic dome, with a pentagon shaped tasting bar set up in the middle of the room, so visitors have lots of space to belly up to the bar. Directly above the bar, in the center of the room, a grape motif stained glass window shines a rainbow of color down on the happy scene. A marble topped bar against one wall is used for overflow on busy days, and because of its prime location, this visitors center can get very busy at times. Not to worry, though, the well-trained staff easily handles busy times. They are friendly and knowledgeable and love gently educating their guests about all things wine. There is an impressive array of non-wine gift items, including logoed T-shirts, hats,
glassware, oils and dipping sauces (samples available), picnic supplies and more, artfully displayed around the room on upended barrels and custom display racks. The wines here are very good and reasonably priced. I tasted a few during my visit and the following wines were my favorites: Napa Cellars Reserve Chardonnay, Mount Veeder: This is a classic Chardonnay, with aromas and flavors of baked apples, baking spices, buttered toast and vanilla. Rich and complex in the mouth, with a long, delicious finish. Napa Cellars Zinfandel, Napa Valley: This Zin is spicy, sassy and absolutely enjoyable! Its what my wine-judging buddies and I call a berry bomb. Blackberry, raspberry and strawberry aromas and flavors abound, enhanced by lots of peppery spice. It is bright and juicy in the mouth, with a mouthwatering finish. Youre going to want another sip Napa Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon, Stagecoach Vineyard: In a word, delicious! Mouthwatering aromas of black cherry blackcurrant, mocha, rose petals and spice box continue as flavors in the velvety, decadently rich mouth. The visitors center for Napa Cellars and Folie Deaux, located at 7481 St. Helena Hwy, Oakville, CA is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, call 1-800-535-6400 or visit their website at www.napacellars.com or www.folieadeaux.com.

open daily 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. 8338 St. helena highway 29, rutherford (707) 944-2945 or 1-800-851-7841 www.sequoiagrove.com
It is a long way, in every sense, from the farms and ranches of Colorado to one of the most famous winemaking regions of the Napa Valley, right in the midst of the Rutherford appellation on some of the most coveted wine-growing property to be found anywhere in the country. Michael Trujillo, winemaker and president of the worldfamous Sequoia Grove property, grew up in the ranch country and farmland of Southern Colorado, where changeable weather, the growing cycle, nature itself and the soil centered him in what he came to find as both a passion and a profession. As a winemaker who recognizes that making wine is about farming, chemistry and that little bit of mystery (in equal measure, it seems), he has always said that, I look to create wines with varietal expression, structure and balance. Stylistically I look toward traditional winemaking. But then again, this is California, so in the end it is our own style that defines our wines. For me, vineyard balance is first, which means location makes a huge impact: the types of soil, the actual location of the vineyard and the climate. Balance includes everything from the roots of the vines to the fruit itself. Based on his beliefs and convictions, the characteristics and demands of the individual varietal determines whether the fermentation process is carried out in stainless steel, oak, or both. Cooperage barrel ageing is also tailored to the wine. He employs a portion of American oak while the rest of the time it is French oak. The wines are then aged in the bottle for a minimum of a year before going to market. The Estate Reserve bottlings, which have a following of their own and are extremely coveted, are kept on oak longer than other Sequoia Grove wines. Their signature wine remains their Bordeaux-style Cabernet. Last year was how should I say it? challenging is probably the best word. The weather, the growing times, it all was a unique experience. But in in spite of it or most likely because of it I believe we are going to get great wine from that harvest. We also now have close to 80 percent estate-grown vineyards which, as a winemaker, is incredible and because of that, the reds are becoming more and more hearty, year after year after year. The tasting room is the perfect place to sample these remarkable wines. Done in what might be considered wine country casual, it is staffed by an affable group of people that are both enthusiastic and well-versed in their profession.

dutcher Crossing Winery launches Winemakers Cellar series

2011 Winemakers Cellar Dry Creek Valley Chardonnay from Rare Floral Clone
Last month, Dutcher Crossing Winery launched the first wine of a new Winemakers Cellar series. Everything we do has to be the signature of terroir, said owner Debra Mathy. This inaugural 2011 Winemakers Cellar Dry Creek Valley Chardonnay is the first vintage from a seven-acre block on the winery estate planted to a rare floral clone, Dijon Clone 809. Conceived as way for the winemakers to craft new wines following the established Dutcher Crossing winemaking footprint, the Winemakers Cellar opens the door, beginning with this oneof-a-kind Chardonnay. We planted the vineyard block to Clone 809 because it was on our winemakers wish list, said Mathy. Kerry Damskey has worked with this clone for 10 years and is very familiar with the distinctiveness it offers, including the apricot, peach and floral aromas and spicy, honeysuckle flavors. Both Mathy and Damskey wanted to do something special with the planting. It was one of the last blocks on the estate to be planted, and the ground lay fallow for more than two years. A tight owner/winemaker team, they work closely together on all vineyard and winemaking decisions. The trust developed in this partnership allows for wider guidelines within this new series. The soil is optimum for a white varietal, explained Damskey, so I suggested Clone 809, as there is no crossover with any of our other Dutcher Crossing wines. Like Dijon Pinot Noir clones, this is a modern, cleaned-up clone from France isolated for specific characteristics. In earlier versions of these floral clones, only about 20 percent of the vines would bear fruit expressing this characteristic, resulting in a more random outcome. Clone 809 is more predictable, said Damskey, because 100 percent of the vines produce grape clusters that show this floral quality. The Chardonnay blend includes 10 percent Rousanne, which adds texture and a slightly spicy character. The purpose of adding the Rousanne is to tone down the aromatics and give more depth in the palate, said Damskey. The distinct earthdriven spice of Rousanne provides a complimentary marriage of flavors and aromas, not more of the same. Fermented in neutral French oak barrels, the must was inoculated with native yeast. The native yeast consists of multiple strains, imparting an interesting texture and complexity to the nose and palate. About half the wine went through malolactic fermentation using native malolactic microorganisms. The wine rested in neutral oak until bottling. Brilliant yellow diamond color with a hint of green, the wine presents alluring and slightly exotic aromas and flavors of apricot, peach, green apple and spicy floral notes, creating a multilayered dense fragrance on the nose and vibrant palate. Nicely balanced with a bright, silky texture followed by a long lingering finish, it has the weight and palate of Chardonnay but with a noticeable floral characteristic. A distressed khaki label, giving a weathered look, reflects the earthiness of the winemakers endeavor and sets the wine apart from the other Dutcher Crossing labels. This is the beginning of a new series in our portfolio that will be added to when vintage dictates, said Mathy. This is just the beginning. The wine is available in the tasting room at 8533 Dry Creek Road Gayserville, CA 95448. For more information, call (707) 431-2700 or visit the website at www.dutchercrossingwinery.com.

Wine Tasting in

Sil
Vezr Family Vineyards is one of the more picturesque and inviting of the Suisun Valley wine region. Owned by the famously friendly and welcoming Frank and Liz Vezr, the winery is a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of their more well-known neighbors over the hill. With a climate that boasts of sun-drenched days and sweet foggy nights, the grapes of the Vezr Family Vineyards enjoy near perfect growing conditions. Their winery is best known for the luscious Petite Sirah that they produce, as well as their hearty, fruit-forward Zinfandel and a little known, but magnificent blend, La Salette. While lacking the big name appellation, these wines are by no means also-rans. In fact, the region is rated as the oldest and best in the State of California by the U.C Davis University. These are seriously good wines. The Vezr Family Vineyard tasting room is located in the tiny village of Mankas Corners. The town was originally established by a local miner in 1846. Hints of its old west history can be seen in the old general store and surrounding buildings. The tasting room is open seven days a week and no appointment is necessary. The ten dollar tasting fee is waived with a wine purchase. But, to really get the most out of your visit, opt for their VIP Barrel Blend Tour. At a bargain price of $35, this tour is well worth the extra investment.

MANKAS TAPAS BAR & STEAKHOUSE
The Newest Hot Spot in Wine Country, Just 15 Minutes from Downtown Napa
By now, most of the avid wine connoisseurs have heard of the fabulous high-scoring Vezr wines, the Vezr Family in Suisun Valley (vezer.com) and the sleepy 170-year-old vineyard village of Mankas Corners where the family winery is located, just 15 minutes away from your downtown Napa hotel room. Now, to add to this already incredible ambiance of this little wine oasis in conjunction with the Las Vegas Steakhouse Group and a former Hilton executive Kevin Johnson the Vezr family has brought a first-class dinning experience to this coveted little piece of California wine history. The restaurant is in an 1850s old west general store and overnight stagecoach stop located in the middle of Suisun Valley (Californias second oldest appellation) at 2522 Mankas Corner Road, Fairfield. Professional designer Liz Vezr oversaw the half million dollar renovation of the restaurant done in beautiful craftsman style with dark walnut, Madagascar wood finishings, rich autumn rose slate stone walls and a huge inviting black walnut bar. Quaint indoor and outdoor dining areas consist of the winemakers table, private couch and armchair dining as well as luxurious leather booths that let you simply sink into and hide as you savor what just might be one of the best meals you have ever had. Here, you will experience some of the greatest wine country tapas and steaks prepared by renown Chef David Pajarillo who trained for eight years under Michael Minas Las Vegas Restaurant AQUA and seven years with the Four Seasons Hotel Group in San Francisco. You will find such favorites as the delicious Wine Stompers 16-ounce seasoned marbled ribeye, spiced organic chicken breasts, baked duck, salmon, blackened sea bass, grass-fed beef, jumbo prawns and, yes, Rutherford-style dry-rubbed St. Louis ribs. Come in early and enjoy a pomegranate mojito at the full bar or the wine list that sports everything from a 1953 Chateau Latour to the finest California boutique-only wines like Gem Stone, Winter and, of course, the world-famous Vezr La Salette Petite Sirah blend. Stop by and make a full day of it at the Vezr Winery, the Blue Victorian Winery and the private family ranch and tasting room.

WINEMAKER PROFILE: ARROWOOD VINEYARDS & WINERY
HEIDI VON DER MEHDEN

To me, winemaking is a balance of artistry and science. With every vintage, it is my goal to capture the essence of Sonoma Valley while producing wines worthy of the Arrowood label, Heidi von der Mehden, Arrowood Winemaker. Heidis passion for this region truly comes through the wines she creates. Consumers can experience Heidis winemaking philosophies in every bottle of Arrowood wine: Accept the challenges that Mother Nature throws your way; continue learning new techniques to improve the production and quality of wine; and remember to stay true to your style. However, her area of study was far from the agricultural mainstay the county has to offer. My fascination with chemistry began in high school, says von der Mehden. It led me down an interesting career path that took me around the world. But ultimately I knew that my heart was in Sonoma County. Upon her return, she put her chemistry background to work in the wine industry. Her career began in Sonoma Valley at Kenwood where she worked for four harvests. During this time Heidi became very familiar with the different vineyards and developed great relationships with the growers in the area something that would prove very beneficial years later. She eventually left Sonoma Valley to continue her career in the winemaking field. In 2007, Heidi had the opportunity to come back to Sonoma Valley when she joined Arrowood Winery as Assistant Winemaker. I was drawn to this winery because it brought me back to the valley where I started my wine career, remarked Heidi. It also gave me the opportunity to work closely with Winemaster Richard Arrowood and learn from his more than 40 years of winemaking experience. This successful partnership led to von der Mehden taking over as Head Winemaker in 2010. How will she continue the legacy of Arrowood while making her own winemaking mark? First, by staying true to the Arrowood style that has won the winery critical acclaim and fans all over the world. And second, by continuing to learn, improve and evolve the winemaking process. One additional perk unlike many chemists, Heidi gets to experience the fruits of her labor with every new release. As a Sonoma Valley Winemaker, Heidi knows the hidden varietal gem of the region Cabernet Sauvignon. She explains, The Mayacamas Mountains and the Sonoma Mountain areas produce outstanding concentrated fruit. Many wine consumers dont realize the number of fabulous Cab vineyards that exist minutes from the winery. And with over nine current releases available in the tasting room, Arrowood is the Cabernet Sauvignon destination in Sonoma Valley. When asked which new Cabernet Sauvignon release she is most excited about: Definitely the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon, Rserve Spciale. I just finished blending it. 09 was a great vintage. This Rserve is the epitome of Sonoma Valley elegance with refined tannins a classic Arrowood Cab. Its going to be so good. When shes not walking the vineyards, blending barrels or analyzing wine, Heidi can be found in the Arrowood Library Room reviewing vintages dating back to 1985. There is so much Arrowood history in this Library. Its thrilling to see how the winery has evolved over the past 27 years while remaining true to the passion that built this label. The Arrowood Library opened this month and showcases Arrowood vintages back to 1985 available to guests, collectors and connoisseurs. Arrowoods Winemaker Dinner will be held Saturday, May 19 and will feature the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon, Rserve Spciale. Limited seating is available. For more information on Arrowood, call the Tasting Room at 1-800-938-5170 or visit www.arrowoodwinery.com.

6th Annual Musical Bonanza at Judds Hill, May 12

Were sure youll agree with the notion that wine is best enjoyed in the company of friends. Every time you open a bottle, it should be a celebration! There are few Napa Valley vintners who take this motto to heart as much as the Finkelstein family of Judds Hill Winery and Microcrush. The folks at Judds Hill never miss an opportunity to throw a party where their wonderful wines are front and center. And, if you happen to be in Napa on May 12th, you can join the gang at Judds Hill from 12 to 3 p.m. for an event they call The Unofficial Start of Summer, their 6th Annual Musical Bonanza. At the Bonanza, guests will enjoy a broad sampling of Judds Hill wines, live music and a barbecued lunch prepared by their team of award-winning, in-house, grillmasters. If youve never attended a party at this boutique family-owned and operated winery located along Napas scenic Silverado Trail, be prepared for a warm and informal atmosphere, great service and perhaps a few fun surprises during the course of the afternoon. The entry fee is $55/person, or free to Judds Hill wine club members. In addition to producing wines in a balanced and food-friendly style under the Judds Hill label, the Finkelstein family also makes wines for other wine enthusiasts in lots as small as a single barrel (24 cases) in their Custom MicroCrush program. But even with all their varied winemaking endeavors, Judd, Holly and Bunnie Finkelstein maintain their commitment to supporting local community services and the performing arts. And, as in years past, The Musical Bonanza will be a charity fundraiser for the Napa Valley Youth Symphony, an organization created to provide talented young musicians an opportunity to perform together in a full symphonic orchestra. If you miss the party, you can always make an appointment to come back another time for an intimate seated tasting. Or, you can call to reserve a spot in their Bottle Blending Day Camp where, over the course of about two hours, wine lovers are led through a blending session to create their own unique Napa Valley wine. Once a favorite blend is chosen you will bottle, cork, label and leave with bottles of your own personal cuvee the same day. Its a great way to take your wine tasting experience to the next level and its a fun outing for singles, couples and groups as large as 80. To find out more about the events, tastings, custom crush and bottle blending opportunities at Judds Hill you can visit www.juddshill.com or give them a call at (707) 255-2332.

12th Annual Rummage/Estate sale in st. helena, May 19-20 Benefitting teenage orphans
You are visiting the wine country and are wondering what the locals do for fun. If your visit is on the weekend of May 19-20, look no further! Grace Episcopal Church in St. Helena is hosting its Twelfth Annual Rummage/Estate Sale to support mission work with teenage orphans in Russia and Uganda. Grace Church began by taking mission teams from St. Helena to Russia and operating summer camps for Russian orphans several years ago. Next, Grace Churchs Outreach Ministry purchased two houses east of Moscow as transitional homes for teenage orphans after they are forced to leave their state operated orphanages at age 16. Each home has a set of foster parents who teach them life skills and develop a loving family relationship. It is a huge success. Last years Rummage and Estate Sales took in over $50,000 in just two days. Truly, it is not your mothers rummage sale. Both sales are held at the corner of Spring and Oak Streets in St. Helena with the Rummage Sale in the large, historic Native Sons Hall. Across the street in the churchs large parish hall is the Estate Sale. It takes more than 100 church and community volunteers to make this a success each year. And, the best part is, everything is priced to sell. By Sunday at 5 p.m., both buildings are empty. So, join the locals and your fellow visitors at this super event Saturday and Sunday, May 19th and 20th from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. They say, it is so much fun we should charge admission, but they dont. See you there!

LITALIA IN VIGNETO
Andretti Winery Celebrates Italian-style Wine and Cuisine with Chef Chiara Iacoviello at Its Fabled Tuscan-inspired Vineyard and Estate in the Heart of Napa Valley
In the heart of the Napa Valley, legendary race car driver Mario Andrettis Tuscan Villa Estate is home to a 42-acre vineyard, winery, barrel-aging chai and an Italianate dining room. The property is modeled after a rambling Italian village, reminiscent of the home of its founder. Here, visitors can tour the winery as well as savor the essence of Italian-style wine and cuisine, prepared by Andrettis own Chef, Chiara Iacoviello. Seasonal favorites, favoring local ingredients prepared in a central-Italian style, offer guests a unique combination of old world-flavors and modern-day pleasure. Four-course dinners or threecourse lunches with wine pairings are available on Fridays and Saturdays throughout the year. Andretti Winery is renowned for its portfolio of fine wines featuring traditional regional varietals, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, as well as luxury Italian varietals, Sangiovese, Pinot Grigio and Dolcetto. A sample menu might include a first course of Bruschette al Carpaccio di Funghi (toasted bread topped with marinated mushroom), second course of Risotti ai Mirtilli (savory risotto with blueberries), third course of Polpettone al Limone (Italian meatloaf stuffed with cheese and prosciutto, with a lemon sauce) and dessert of Salume di Cioccolato (traditional chocolate and cookie roll), all paired with Andretti wines. At Andretti, dinner is served at 7 p.m., lunch at noon. The price for dinner is $95 per person; lunch is $70 per person, both with a 16-guest maximum. For dinner, the evening begins with a chilled glass of white wine in the beautiful Fountain Courtyard. Visitors are then led into the Tuscan House, where Chef Chiara Iacoviello presents and describes the evenings menu. Her seasonal favorites are paired with the winemakers own selections. After dinner, guests can tour the historic winery and enjoy a barrel tasting. The elegant fourcourse dinner concludes with a dessert wine.

toile Restaurant Chef Perry Hoffman named The Peoples Best New Chef: California
The dining public selects Napa Valley-based chef as the most promising up-and-coming culinary talent in California
toile Restaurant at Domaine Chandon recently announced that Chef Perry Hoffman has been named Food & Wines The Peoples Best New Chef in the California region. Hoffman, nominated for the second-consecutive year, along with nine other chefs in the California region, was the only Napa Valley-based chef in contention. According to Food & Wine, he received the nomination because of his attention to pairings, which yields dishes that are balanced and harmonious. It truly is an honor to be named Food & Wines The Peoples Best New Chef in California, said Chef Perry Hoffman. To be recognized by the dining public and the sophisticated readers of Food & Wine magazine is a tribute to the culinary team at toile, and our dedication to delivering seasonally-inspired cuisine, paired with exceptional wines. At toile, Hoffman draws inspiration for his cuisine from extensive gardens, located just steps from the kitchen, and from daily interaction with Domaine Chandons winemaking team, which allows him to create fresh, seasonal dishes with wine in mind. Hoffmans innovative, wine-inspired cuisine is expertly paired with award-winning wines, setting the stage for the ultimate food and wine experience. Seasonally-changing menu highlights include: Dungeness crab and heirloom carrots with shrimp mousse, tangerine and sorrel; sea urchin fettuccini with heirloom radishes, kumquats, foraged greens and fennel; and Liberty Farms duck breast with yam pure, roasted leeks, pink peppercorns and moro blood orange. Now in its second year, the award, an extension of the Food & Wine Best New Chefs program, honors talented up-and-coming innovators who have run their own kitchens for five years or fewer. The dining public determined The Peoples Best New Chef winner via online voting, which took place from March 5 through March 11, 2012. For more information about The Peoples Best New Chef: California award, go to: www.foodandwine.com/peoples-best-new-chef/california. For reservations or more information about Domaine Chandon, visit www.chandon.com or call 1-800-7362892 opt. 2.

Sterling Vineyards Collaborates with Consulting Winemaker Paul Hobbs

Sterling Vineyards, a leading producer of Napa Valley wines, recently announced that it has signed world-renowned consultant Paul Hobbs to work with Senior Winemaker Harry Hansen
Our business continues to grow, and we are committed to furthering that momentum by ensuring we have the best talent in the industry, said Greg Kryder, President of Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines. Commitment to quality, vision and teamwork are the foundations on which Sterling Vineyards was built. When asked about consulting for Sterling Vineyards Paul stated, Sterling is one of the iconic wineries of Napa Valley and I am excited to be working with Harry and his team crafting Sterling Reserve and Platinum wines. Harry said, Paul has a proven track-record for creating worldclass wines and I look forward to working with him. We have great vineyards and resources at our disposal, and with Pauls assistance well make Sterling Reserve wines, including our soon-to-be-launched Platinum, more exceptional than ever. If you want a place to relax, take in the sunshine and sip a great glass of wine, stop by Sterling Vineyards. The winery is perched on a hill 300 feet above the town of Calistoga. Many vistas offer panoramic views of Napa Valley including Sterling Vineyards estate vineyards which produced the valleys first vintage dated Merlot in 1969. Your visit begins with a unique aerial tram ride that carries visitors up the hill to the winery, whose architecture was modeled after that of the Greek island of Mykonos, where Sterling Vineyards founder Peter Newton once lived. The brilliant white stucco stands out dramatically against the rugged Mayacamas and Vaca mountain ranges that flank each side of Napa Valley. Once off the tram, you are greeted with a glass of wine to sip while you stroll through overlooks and elevated walkways that allow guests to follow the winemaking process from grape to glass. As you tour the property, Homewood motion-activated flat-screen Winery televisions provide detailed explanations. This arrangement lets guests tour the winery at their own pace, while tasting rich, opulent wines along the way. As you stroll along the walkways, balconies and outdoor terraces, you will notice the winerys towers housing eight bells from Londons Church of
Paul Hobbs
St. Dunstans-in-the-East, originally founded in the 10th century. After your tour of the winemaking facilities you arrive at the elegant tasting rooms high atop this enchanted hill. You are welcomed to yet another perfect environment to enjoy exceptional wines while taking in forest, vineyard and mountain views. The extraordinary Mediterranean-style architecture, unique aerial tramway, stunning location, historic bells and attention to visitors make Sterling Vineyards a top destination in Napa Valley. Reservations are not required and you are welcome to visit any time during normal operating hours: Monday through Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sterling Vineyards is located at 1111 Dunaweal Lane, Calistoga. For more information, call 1-800-726-6136.

Cork Jewelry at Sausal Winery

Ever wonder what to do with all those corks? Make a trivet? Make a cork board? How about jewelry? Leisa, a third-generation Demostene at Sausal Winery, is doing just that. She collects, cuts, strings and varnishes wine corks to create oneof-a-kind necklaces and bracelets. Originally inspired by the holidays, Leisas first creations were Christmas ornaments: fantastic cork horses and fun cork people. Since then, Leisas cork art has evolved from recycled novelty to green chic. Stop by Sausal Winery in Alexander Valley to check out some of Leisas creations. If you are lucky, you may even get to meet the artist. Recently, while working behind the tasting bar, she sold the necklace right off her neck! Sausal is a small, family-owned winery that produces awardwinning wine. Owned by the Demostene family, Sausal Winery consistently produces premium, estate-bottled Old Vine Zinfandels (Family Zinfandel, Private Reserve Zinfandel and Century Vine Zinfandel), Estate Sangiovese and Estate Cabernet at reasonable prices. Sausal Winery is located at 7370 Highway 128, just outside of Healdsburg, in the heart of Alexander Valley, and offers complimentary tastings seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call 1-800-500-2285 or visit them at www.sausalwinery.com.

Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery is a feast for the senses. The Italian styled estate is surrounded by 100 acres of lush vineyard and known for their exquisite gardens. In the spring, 10,000 tulips and daffodils take center stage and bloom bright with varietal colors, a sight for sore eyes. As you walk into the winery, you breathe in the aroma and smell in the air, the finest wines made in the heart of Sonoma Countys Dry Creek Valley. Ferrari-Carano welcomes wine enthusiasts to their two tasting rooms, each with their own unique design, style and ambience. On the top level of the Villa Fiore and Wine Shop, you are transported to Italy. The Tuscan room is light, airy and elegant. As you sip Ferrari-Carano wines at the dramatic curved mahogany and black granite tasting bar, you can try favorites such as the 2009 Siena, 2011 Fum Blanc and their newly released, 2009 Pinot Grigio. In the backdrop, through large arched windows, you will marvel over their pristine estate vineyards, villa fountain pavilion and breathtaking mountain landscape. Turn around and admire the hand-painted Renaissance mural depicting Ferrari-Caranos LookOut Mountain Ranch. Across the room is a temperature-controlled vaulted cellar that showcases Ferrari-Caranos past vintages and library magnum wines that is sure to impress. The wine shop displays unusual and unique gift items, such as tableware and linens, logo designed high-end clothing, wine accessories and more. From the upstairs of the Villa Fiore tasting room, a curving stone staircase takes you downstairs to a stunning double-vaulted wine cellar, and visitors center where you can watch a short video about the winery and view framed menus from the White House, featuring Ferrari-Carano wines over the years. At the Enoteca Tasting Bar and Lounge, wine lovers sample limited release and reserve wines, including Ferrari-Carano, PreVail wines, Back Forty and West Face, two Cabernet Sauvignons from their two mountain ranches in Alexander Valley, as well as Ferrari-Caranos vineyard select Russian River Valley Chardonnays, Fiorella, Tre Terre, Emelias Cuvee and Dominique. The winerys portfolio is impressive and even includes two delicious desert wines, Eldorado Noir and Eldorado Gold. The Enoteca tasting room, which means, wine library in Italian, was designed by Rhonda Carano, co-owner of Ferrari-Carano with her husband, Don Carano. It features a 37-foot, barrel-shaped tasting bar with a black granite top, a dramatic glass enclosed wine bottle cellar running the full length of the bar. The Venetian plaster walls and ceilings make for a real enoteca experience where you can relax and indulge in Ferrari-Caranos finest selection of library and reserve wines that Don and Rhonda Carano have built their reputation. The Ferrari-Carano tasting rooms are each provide a sensory experience unlike any other. Ferrari-Carano Vineyards and Winery, like Italy, is a fabulous feast for the senses.

WINEMAKER PROFILE
LLOYD W. DAVIS
VIANSA WINERY
BY AlexAnDrA chArSleY
ViAnsAs tAstinG RooM And MARKEtPlACE open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 25200 Arnold Drive Sonoma, cA 95476 (707) 935-4726 | www.viansa.com.
Lloyd W. Davis is president and co-owner of Viansa Winery and Marketplace in picturesque Sonoma. His winery is one of the first you will see on your way into town and he takes great pride in leading his team. He has taken the scenic route to follow his dream but along the way he has gained experience that has put Viansa on the road to distinction. While originally from Manhattan, Lloyds financial background providing capital to companies led him to Viansa and when the opportunity arose to be directly involved, he jumped at the chance and hasnt looked back since. As soon as you walk into the tasting room and outdoor patio, you will notice all of Lloyds improvements. He is committed to maintaining Viansas Italian heritage by offering Italian wine varietals, olive oils and other house-made delicacies. I asked him what his greatest achievement was since taking over and he said, Im most proud of bringing the winery back, the quality of wine that we now produce, the merchandise and, of course, all of our food products. With his business experience, he immediately knew changes had to be made in order to make Viansa an exciting place to visit with exceptional quality wines. Since they are a winery, he put the focus on the vineyards and wine production. He has worked with a viticulturist to produce the best crops and actually cut back on the harvest yield in order to concentrate the flavors of the grapes. He has also introduced his Signature Series wines which are made from premium grapes around Sonoma County. Since only 150 cases are made each year, they represent the highest quality of wine produced here at Viansa. Lloyd works with his winemaking team daily to make a style of wine that appeals to everyone. They are well balanced and can stand alone or pair well with food. His vision is to create premium wine while keeping it fun and relaxing. After all, Sonoma is a very relaxing place and wine should be enjoyed, not intimidating. With the vineyard changes, they produce less wine and are now starting to run out so he is pleased with the progress over the past four years and will continue to lead his winemaking team to ensure future success. Their Italian Marketplace is full of fabulous finds and you can even purchase wines by the glass to enjoy on their patio overlooking the vineyards. After your wine tasting, be sure to sample some of their house-made chutneys, sauces and olive oils.

The popular and critically acclaimed Sonoma Wine Country Trolley offers daily lunch and dinner tours lasting four hours and monthly specials such as the upcoming Mothers Day Special, May 13, which pairs a seasonal spring lunch with Clarbec Wines. This is the way to see wine country from the ground.

Second Stop Lunch on an Oak Knoll at Clarbec Vineyards. Someone from Clarbec will be on hand for a private tasting of their wines while your lunch is prepared in the on-board kitchen and served on white linens in a pristine setting. Third Stop One of the hidden treasures of Sonoma Valley, Little Vineyards in Glen Ellen. This small boutique winery offers an array of red wines and a delightful end to the Mothers Day special. The Sonoma Wine Country Trolley is an authentic reproduction of a 1900s San Francisco cable car which is now offering one of wine countrys most unique touring experiences. Owners and hosts, Ed and Jonnie McCormick have created the crme de la crme of winery touring adventures by outfitting their trolley with a one-of-akind gourmet kitchen. Guests will not only have first-class transportation to the finer Sonoma Valley wineries, but they will have the opportunity to dine on gourmet wine country cuisine paired with the perfect glass of wine.

Zina Hyde Cunningham Takes The Gold at 2012 San Diego International Wine Competition
Zina Hyde Cunningham Wins Two Gold Medals
Zina Hyde Cunningham Winery is continuing with medals earned in 2012 wine competitions. The winery won two gold medals at the 2012 San Diego International Wine Competition. The 2008 North Coast Condeal and the 2008 Redwood Valley Carignane were the big winners. I couldnt be happier than to win these awards with Zina Hyde Cunningham, enthused winemaker Steve Ledson. It is absolutely the time to head to Anderson Valley and taste these incredible wines. The 2008 North Coast Condeal has aromas of ripe Fuji apples, soft spice and red fruit with a palate of cherry, strawberry and chocolate. This meritage finishes with eucalyptus, mouth coating tannins and a hint of coffee. The wine is available online for $48. The 2008 Redwood Valley Carignane is a deeply concentrated red wine with bold flavors of blackberry, plum and dark chocolate with subtle touches of white pepper and herbs on the finish. The wine is available online for $36. The long, rich Cunningham family history started in Mendocino County in 1865 where Zina Hyde Cunninghams heirs brought his vision of producing the very best wines from his winery and vineyards. Today, you can still enjoy this legacy by visiting one of the most beautifully designed old buildings in all of Mendocino County. The Zina Hyde Cunningham tasting room is located at 14077 Hwy 128, Boonville, CA 95415, open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. For more information, call (707) 895-9462 or go to www.zinawinery.com. Visitors can enjoy a bottle of wine along with picnic fare from the Boonville General Store in the beautiful picnic grounds. A few games on the bocce court rounds out a perfect Anderson Valley afternoon.

POH provides home delivered meals, groceries and nutrition counseling to people living with HIV/AIDS, the homebound, critically ill and seniors. Bryan Kane believes that one of our founding principles is to give back to the local community. In their first year of operations, his efforts contributed over $35K to the Bay Area society. The increased awareness and patronage of this community of winemakers allows them to continue and grow their gifting programs. We all benefit by supporting these artisan wines. Through our visits and patronage of these wineries, we all become charitable benefactors.
Treasured Benefactors Winemakers Give Back to the Community

Treasure Islands local community of vintners are much more than just winemakers, entrepreneurs and viticulturists. They are philanthropists who advocate for the less fortunate by giving back to their communities. Their generosity exemplifies a social consciousness and awareness we can all contribute to. Josh Stein of Stein Family Wines donates a portion of the sale of their wines to educational organizations that provide college scholarships for the students of the Napa Valley so that the children of wine workers may have choices their parents did not. Purchasing Steins wines contributes to a more equitable future for the children of those who labor among the vineyards. Derek Rohlffs created BRAVIUM, meaning reward, prize or gift. His Sip&Give program designates a portion of the proceeds of his wine sales to various charities his clients choose like the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the International Myeloma Foundation. Giving back to help the less fortunate is an integral part of this winerys DNA. Last year, with the help of his clients purchases, he gave back over $5000 and is shooting for $10,000 in 2012. Robert Amox of Knightswood Vineyards and Winery works yearround contributing to charitable organizations such as Marin County
