WINE CLUB
OF THE WEEK AUDELSSA ESTATE WINERY
WINE CLUB DETAILS
Audelssa Winery located in the hills above Glen Ellen One of Sonoma Valley’s hidden
treasures, Audelssa Estate Winery,
invites you to join their Summit
Club. No matter the winery, the
best reason to join a wine club is for
first access to their finest and most-
limited bottlings. In Audelssa’s case,
everything they produce may prop-
erly be considered to be the
“finest,” and almost every bottling
qualifies as “limited.” All of the
wines are produced traditionally,
most of them using exceptional
fruit from Audelssa’s own Mountain
Terraces Vineyards. They rarely
produce more than a few hundred
cases of any wine, and in fact many
Tasting room in the charming town of Glen Ellen are produced in quantities of fewer
than 200 cases. If you are not a

Over 250 Quality Wines

Under $25 at Wine Garage
Hidden next to a dilapidated ’40s-era former filling station on Highway 29 in
Calistoga lies the Wine Garage. A unique wine shop in Napa Valley that retails all
wine in the store under $25. Sound crazy? Its true. And the proprietors Todd and
Joy Miller, have hit on a niche in the Valley that had been very missed by the locals
there.
“There are a lot of winemakers here that can’t afford to drink the wine they
make” says Miller. “That’s crazy, yes, but who can afford to drink a $65 bottle with
dinner every night?”
Many people miss The Wine Garage on the first try upvalley, but the search is
well worth it. Miller stocks wine from all of California’s wine growing regions
including fifty Napa selections and 40 from Sonoma County. When he first sought
out buying the initial inventory, “I enlisted a local farmer buddy and his 15-foot
box van and off we went all over California hunting down the deals. I tried to seek
out the small producers who didn’t have distributes so I could pass the savings on
to my customers.” And Miller did just that. His store is stocked with high-quality
juice all under $25 and all are unique. Most labels in the shop are unrecognizable
– but all pass the same test; everything passes over Miller’s lips before he makes a
buy. “If I don’t love it, I don’t buy it, period. Sometimes I will taste over a hundred
wines in one day, load up the truck and haul it up to Calistoga, unload at the store,
and maybe I will crawl in bed by 3 a.m. Needless to say my buddy bowed out of
the deal after their 2nd trip. I initially recruited him on a ‘hey lets go wine tasting
in Santa Barbara’ until he realized how much work it entailed. Poor guy, he had to
be at the farm at 5 in the morning.”
It is all worth it. Millers’ customers love him. He has a unique ability to hear a
verbal description of a customers favorite wine and translate that into a recommen-
dation for sometimes a third of the cost. “I have people all over the country that
use me as their local wine shop. I ship right to their door – and the cost of the ship-
ping is a drop in the bucket compared to what they save on the cost of the wine.
Miller gets deals on Napa wine too. “I have winemakers from small wineries
stop in every week saying ‘I have something that will fit into the store,’ if they only
have 15 or 25 cases of an end-of-vintage wine – I am the perfect outlet for them.”
So head up to the Wine Garage and check out the best deals in the Valley at
1020 Foothill Blvd (Hwy 29), Calistoga, CA 94515. For more information, call
(707) 942-5332. You can also check out the website at winegarage.net.

On Friday, June 26, at 7 p.m., the
first-ever “June Bug Dance” will be
held at the Tucker Farm Center,
located at 1201 Tucker Road in
Calistoga. The concert will feature
performances by Sean Garvey, The
Riff Raff Ramblers and Kevin
Gordon. Tickets are $25 per person
and can be purchased at
www.BrownPaperTickets.com.

Vineyards, a portion of the concert’s “June Bug Dance,” and performing
proceeds will benefit the Work Connec-
tion in St. Helena, which matches unemployed laborers with housing
and fair-wage work, often in the vineyards and cellars of the Napa
Valley.
Sean Garvey is a singer and songwriter raised in the Napa Valley
and production director at his family’s Flora Springs Winery & Vine-
yards. He wrote and performed all of the songs on his current
record, “California Parable,” which was recorded at Wow and Flutter
studio in Nashville and released in 2008. He has long wanted to
bring an event to showcase folk rock artists to the Napa Valley. The
“June Bug Dance” will also feature photographs by Sean’s wife
Lindsay Garvey and other local artists. By raising funds for farm
workers, he is also following in the footsteps of his father, Flora
Springs Vineyard Director Pat Garvey, who, along with Monsignor
John Brenkle of the St. Helena Catholic Church and a strong group
of growers, vintners and volunteers, spearheaded a farm worker
housing committee nearly twenty years ago to build temporary
housing for workers in need of shelter. “At its heart, the Napa Valley
is a farming community. Farming communities depend on the backs
of farm workers and seasonal migrant workers. I learned this first
hand. The fields are where I found my first job and it gave me a
sense of what work is. My hope is that with the June Bug Dance we
can create a forum for folk art as well as assist those in our commu-
nity who know what work is but may need help finding it,” he says.

tasting is a sort of meritocracy, after all.
It’s a trend that some of the traditional Napa Valley stalwarts might
want to pay attention to. Because, despite what you may have heard,
the movers and shakers in today’s Napa Valley can be a bit restrained
in their approach. Smaller, more nimble wineries tend to be pushing
the envelope a tad more. DOWNTOWN
Granted, winemaking has its roots in agriculture and there’s always
been a lot riding on any given vintage. But these days, with the persua- N A P A
sive power of only a handful of wine critics, a wine’s flavor profile had
better not stray too far afield from the current model. And if we’re
honest with ourselves, we wine drinkers too want to feel safe in our
purchases.
High quality wines, today’s fashion tells us, should be of good pedi-
gree, lush and robust, with an emphasis on a few key touchstones—
expensive toasty oak flavors, soft tannins and, preferably, gobs of fruit.
This can all be seen as a good thing for the consumer, but the upshot
is that so many of these wines are starting to taste well…the same.
So when you come across a winery like Olabisi, making supremely
tasty and nuanced wines, while managing to maintain their artistic
integrity, it can be cause for celebration. They’re pouring exotic, single
vineyard bottlings of Mendocino and Carneros Chardonnays, racy
Suisun Valley Syrahs and Petite Sirahs, and mystical Zinfandels from
75-year-old vines, all fermented in the most traditional methods—on
wild yeast. That ought to shake things up a bit. Winemaker, Ted
Osborne is crafting exciting wines with not more than 300 cases made
of any one of them.

New Tasting Room Opens

Merriam Vineyards opened thier new winery and tasting room on
the warmest edge of the Russian River Valley. With easy access from
Highway 101, the Merriam Vineyards tasting room in Healdsburg
offers a new perspective on Russian River Valley winegrowing, inviting
visitors to cross cultures as they taste California-crafted Bordeaux-style
wines in a tasting room designed to reflect the comfort and warmth of
a New England-style home.
Native New Englanders Peter and Diana Merriam first envisioned a
French-style winery in the United States during their honeymoon in
France, where they were struck by the rich culture of food and wine
and the seamless quality between life and work among French
vignerons. Peter and Diana are now living a seamless life of their own,
with nine vintages behind them and their new winery and tasting
room that is not only at the confluence of their three winegrowing
appellations – Russian River, Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys – but
also of the three landscapes that have shaped their lives together –
New England, France and Sonoma County.
Current vintage and select library wines are available at the tasting
room, where visitors are invited to savor an east meets west experience
enhanced by striking vistas of the Sonoma County landscape.
The Merriam Vineyards tasting room is now open daily from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located at 11650 Los Amigos Road, Healdsburg.

wines to select the top twelve. After three and hours of tasting and
deliberation the experts selected the following wines:
• 2007 Bargetto Winery Old Vine Zinfandel - $19.00
• 2007 Eola Hills Zinfandel - $12.95
• 2006 Harney Lane “Lizzie James Vineyard” Zinfandel - $28.00

• 2007 m2 “Soucie Vineyard” Zinfandel – 28.00

• 2007 Talus Zinfandel - $7.00
• 2007 VanRuiten Family Winery Zinandel - $22.99
The wines were tasted by a panel that included some of the
industry’s most respected palates. Serving on the panel were: Tim
Teichgraeber, wine writer, San Francisco, CA; Sara Schneider, wine
editor Sunset Magazine; Charles Olken and Steve Eliot, Connoisseurs
Guide to California Wine; Tony Lawrence, chef, Philadelphia, PA; Dan
Clarke, Editor California Wine & Food; and Graham Parnell, wine
writer and marketing consultant, Santa Rosa CA.
The wines will be packaged as a unit and sent to leading wine
writers nationwide to educate the media and public about this up and
coming wine region. A limited number of cases will be made available
for sale to the public through the Lodi Wine and Visitor Center.
According to event sponsor Mark Chandler of the Lodi Winegrape
Commission “this collection of wines shows that great Lodi wines can
be had from every price level, from $7 to $59 per bottle. It also shows
that excellent wines are being made from Lodi grapes locally, around
the state and even out of state.”
Lodi has a long history of growing Zinfandel, with some local vines
over 100 years old. Today over forty percent of California’s Zinfandel
comes from Lodi, and the region is gaining a reputation for full-bodied
red wines that are a great accompaniment to food.
Nestled between the San Francisco Bay and the Sierra Nevada

Old Fisherman’s Grotto or The
Fish Hopper. Chris Shake
The Old Fisherman’s Grotto
is “the flagship of the restaurants,” says Restaurant Hall of
Fame Chris Shake, who is now at the helm of the family’s
restaurant that his father Sabu started in 1952.
With underwater murals, sea creature light fixtures and
photographs covering the walls of the two-story restaurant,
you are surrounded by a romantic, intimate ambiance that
retains familial warmth and casual feeling. Shake explains,
“from the moment you walk in the door, it is a great experi-
ence.” With ocean views from any seat you are tempted to
watch the seals and sea otters play during daylight dining.
While you dine, your friendly wait staff will tempt you with
selections from the Wine Enthusiast award-winning wine list
and a diverse menu that includes Certified Angus Beef steaks,
macadamia encrusted halibut, traditional spaghetti and
meatballs, and their five years in a row voted “best clam
chowder” by Monterey County locals.
The Shake’s clam chowder is one of many recipes created
by Sabu himself over 50 years ago and is the only recipe not
found in the Shake Family Traditions Treasured Recipes
book. An average of 150 gallons of this secret family recipe,
known only to family and Executive Chefs Mohamed Tabib
and Juan Ponce, are served daily.
“I get the customer to come in and the service and quality
of food get them to come back.” This philosophy shows with
Shake’s wine list, selected with the help of beverage manager
Dave Muller, as well as the mouth-watering menu that always
has at least 15 fresh desserts. “Great food and great wine
really go together, and we have them both,” exclaims Shake.
