Wineology

INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER

BY LEN NAPOLITANO

What is terroir?
The French term, terroir (pronounced tear-wah), is the term for
the conditions that make a specific grape-growing site, and its wine,
distinctive. It comes from a philosophy, originated in Europe, that a
multitude of influences in nature surrounding a vineyard, or wine
region, create a wines character. These natural factors include soil
composition, day and nighttime temperatures, the amount of rainfall,
the direction of the sun, just to name a few.
Terroir explains why some of the best California Pinot Noir, for
example, originate in the regions of Carneros and Russian River. They
may be separated by about 30 miles but they share similar soils and
experience the same cooling effects from bodies of water nearby
either the ocean, in the case of the Russian River area, or San Pablo
Bay for the Carneros region. Both regions produce rich and complex
wines made from Pinot Noir grapes that reflect their similar terroir.

Over centuries of winemaking around the world, it has been


learned that the uniqueness of a specific location is what creates the
personality of a wine. Although the French word terrior has no
English translation, it has become a term used everywhere to describe
this interaction of the many factors that influence a grape-growing
site.
So, the next time you taste a great wine, whether Pinot Noir,
Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon or Zinfandel, take notice of where
the grapes were grown. If a distinct site is listed on the label as the
origin of the grapes, such as the name of a specific vineyard or an
official wine geographic region (also known as an appellation) know
that you are tasting more than just the grapes that made the wine.
You are experiencing terrior everything in nature that makes that
site or region, unique.

Winegrowing Decisions

BY JOSH STEIN

Winter Means Oaky Delight


Winery operations are year-round, but the
intensity of this years harvest, which is so
dependent upon time and speed, gives way
to a much more gentle process as our winter
rains finally begin, cellars get more chilly and
damp, and wines begin to finish their
primary and secondary fermentations and
are racked into barrel. Alternatively, wines

fermented in tanks which are meant to finish


those processes in the barrel are transferred
off the gross lees, the solid by-products of
making wine, which include dead yeast cells
and various nutrients, so as to allow the oaks
influence to be in the mix earlier in the
production process before the wine is even
completely made. Regardless of which route
toward oak reds and some whites take, the
reasons for barreling down involve a
slowdown into cellar time.
Wine is a production process, not
alchemy we cook with grapes,
essentially and so the choice of using
barrels is just that, a choice, and one with
many subtle logistical options available to
the winemaker. Before going into them,
heres what going into barrel does for a wine.
While almost all reds spend some time in
contact with oak, only some whites do. Oak
imparts an underlying creaminess, and time
in contact with it encourages malolactic
fermentation to begin and to complete since
Oenococcus oeni, the organism which
acutally does the acid shift, is resident in oak;
this serves to soften the wine since lactic acid
is half as strong as malic (think milk versus
apple juice) and provides perhaps another of
the reasons barrels of oak were chosen for
storage in antiquity. Lastly, tannin formation
and interchange takes place between the
barrels and the wine, and time in barrel in
combination with the micro-oxygenation as
the wood breathes serve to help create a
chemically stable, silkier finished wine.
With that as context, whether oak has
been used as a primary fermentation vessel
or not, when ready to age in contact with
wood, the wine is transfered either from tank
to barrel or from barrel to barrel. Gravity-fed
wineries do these processes through the
manipulation of space to allow the wine to
literally drain downwards without
mechanical aids; most other wineries use

pumps of various
designs to move wine
horizontally or vertically around their
production spaces into barrels with as little
disturbance or oxygen contact as possible.
Some wineries go the opposite direction,
concatenating their wines into larger lots
held in large oak or redwood vats or steel
tanks, with or without oak stave inserts.
Costs, of course, always play a role. A
new imported barrel is north of $1,000, and
that barrel will be used at most four times for
any discernible oakiness it would impart.
Think of a storm-battered piece of wood,
only whats left in the barrel after wine has
been in it for a year or two resembles more a
dark, yucky wine aquarium than driftwood.
Once exhausted, a barrel can be shaved and
re-coopered for an additional cost, but its
just that, an additional cost which is
dependent on the coopers skills to be done
properly or else the wines stored in the
rejuvenated barrel will take on port-like
overtones. This is why some wineries
choose instead to use older, neutal barrels
or small steel tanks with various kinds of oak
adjuncts like sticks, beads or cubes inserted,
or they will use larger staves with notches,
hanging on a lip around the edge of a large
steel tank.
As you can see, what is mechanically a
simple process separating liquid from most
of the solids from fermentation becomes a
much more complicated cultural and thus
financial process. How much of a difference
this makes in consumer awareness and
apprecation is, of course, a subjective result.
What is undeniable, however, is the impact
of oak on finished wine and its impact to
the bottom line for the winemaker both for
costs and for sales. Consider that when next
looking at a barrel chai: its not just a room of
wood and liquid its the recorder of
winegrowing decisions. Enjoy!

Napa Cellars Classics Tier

NAPA CELLARS
Redefining Napa Valley Wines
Founded in 1968, on five and a half acres of prime Oakville soil, Napa
Cellars embodies the classic Napa Valley styleripe, rich, balanced and
collectable. Most importantly, the wines of Napa Cellars taste of this great
wine region as much as the grape.
Joe Shirley became winemaker in 2007 and has since built the portfolio
into a stunning line-up of wines. In addition to its Classics tier and several
tasting room exclusive wines, Napa Cellars now offers a new tier of wines
called the V Collection. These are limited-production, sub-appellation
wines from the Napa Valley that pay tribute to the five original acres upon
which Napa Cellars was founded. Each wine is 100% varietally true and
captures the essence of the appellation form which it hails. The V
Collection includes three varietals, Carneros Chardonnay, Carneros Pinot
Noir and Saint Helena Cabernet Sauvignon.
At Napa Cellars, there is a distinctive energy inspired by the winemaker,
the wines and the people who pour them. The tasting room, located on
Highway 29, is an inviting place to taste and relax. Visitors can enjoy an
indoor tasting or purchase a bottle (or two) and enjoy a picnic on the patio
or play bocce on the lawn overlooking Napa Cellars Cabernet vineyards.
For those who want to relive the experience when they return home,
Napa Cellars Latitude 38 Wine Club is the perfect choice. This is also a
fitting wine club for those who like variety. Wines are shipped four times a

KORBEL CALIFORNIA CHAMPAGNE


Americas Most Popular Champagne
For more than 130 years, Korbel has been bottling some of the finest California champagnes
from its facility located along the scenic Russian River Valley. Long considered the nations
champagne, youve likely popped open a bottle to celebrate a milestone in your life, as have many
American presidents throughout the years. (Since 1985, Korbel has been selected as the official
champagne of the last eight Presidential Inaugurations.)

Mthode Champenoise
Korbel has held fast to the time-honored French tradition mthode champenoise where the
champagne is fermented inside of the same bottle from which its served.
First, wines are made (most popularly from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes) and fermented
in casks until ready to be taken out to create a cuvee blend. The cuvee blend is then added to a
champagne bottle along with further yeast and sugar. Next, the bottle is capped where the wine is
fermented for a second time, inside the bottle.
During this second fermentation process, yeast eats away at the sugar, creating a natural carbon
dioxide (the bubbles Korbel California champagne is known for). The longer the yeast is given to
eat away at the sugar, the smaller the bubbles become, and the finer the champagne. The bottles,
initially upright, are then flipped 180 upside down for more than a year to riddle the yeast
sediment into the neck of the bottle and complete the fermentation process.
Once the second fermentation process is complete, bottles are carefully moved (with the yeast
sediment now in the neck of the bottle), and the yeast sediment is frozen in place at the bottle
neck, and extracted. Dosage (sugar) is then added (the percent of dosage is what makes
champagne dry or sweet), then bottles are corked, caged and labeled.

Interesting Korbel California Champagne Facts


Did you know that according to tradition, the uncaging of the cork on a champagne bottle
requires only six turns? The next time you pop open a bottle of Korbel, give it a try!
Korbel lists the percentage of dosage on the back of each bottle, to help buyers determine how
dry or sweet the champagne is check for it the next time youre purchasing Korbel California
champagne. For instance, Korbels popular Brut has a dosage level of 1%, making it dry
champagne, and its Sweet Ros is at 6% dosage a much sweeter varietal.

Wine Country This Week >> WINE COUNTRY NEWS


People often ask what the difference is between a champagne and
still wine grape. The actual grape varietals used are exactly the
same. The only difference between the two styles is when the
grapes are harvested (grapes used for champagne are harvested
much earlier). Unlike wine, champagne is meant to be consumed
quickly, not aged and shelved for long periods of time.

History and Garden Buffs Take Note


A free, captivating 50-minute tour departs daily 11:00 a.m. to
3:00 p.m., from the Korbel Railroad Station that was built in 1876
(a former railroad station on the tracks laid by Korbel which ran
through the estate to San Francisco as a thriving supply line). This
fascinating historic walking tour takes visitors through the antique
Korbel wine cellars (built in 1886 and completed in 1890, using
redwoods from the property) and history museum, full of artifacts
from the winerys inception. Be sure not to miss the short film on
the history of Korbel.
Korbels Garden Tour is offered mid-April through mid-October,
1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday a nod to
Korbels rich farming history.

Tastings and the Korbel


Delicatessen and Market
Korbel treats visitors to
four free tastings per
person, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m., daily. Several Korbel
champagne varietals can
only be tasted and
purchased directly at the tasting room or through Korbels wine
club. Besides California champagne, Korbel also produces still
wines that can only be purchased at the winery or through the
club, as well as a variety of brandies (including its newly released
Korbel 12 California Brandy aged for more than 12 years).
While youre there, plan for lunch at Korbels award-winning
delicatessen, open daily 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. You can choose from a
gourmet boxed lunch (advance orders recommended) that includes
a gourmet sandwich, handmade pasta salad, seasonal fresh fruit, a
house baked cookie, soft drink and utensils. The deli also makes
made-to-order sandwiches, salads, soup du jour, espresso drinks
BY DENISE OLLIFFE
and more.

You Cant Ride in My Little Red Wagon Its in a Sculpture


The grape-filled little red wagon which graces the labels of

that they loved and he wanted to share that sense of family and
childlike whimsy with his customers. The Tasting Lounge features a

Grand Harvest Awards Announces 2015 Results


Balletto Vineyards takes Best of Show
for its 2012 Zinfandel, Russian River Valley

Best of Show: Balletto Vineyards, 2012 Zinfandel, Russian River Valley

Vineyard & Winery Managements 25th Annual Grand Harvest


Awards has revealed the results of this years competition. Judges
awarded a total of 48 Best of Class, 44 Double Gold, 183 Gold and
574 Silver medals.
Established in 1990, GHA seeks to uncover the distinctions of
terroir by grouping wines for evaluation by appellation and variety.
Wines are judged in the context of their viticultural regions in order
to recognize the complexities and nuances of regional wines, and also
to observe the influence of regional soil and climate characteristics on
the taste and quality of individual wines.

This is a great expression of Zinfandel grown in the cool


southern end of the Russian River Valley: fresh, bright and
lovely.

The following wines took best their categories:


BEST OF SHOW: Balletto Vineyards
2012 Zinfandel, Russian River Valley
BEST RED: Balletto Vineyards
2012 Zinfandel, Russian River Valley
BEST ROS: Lawer Estates
2014 Rose, Knights Valley, Betsys Vineyard, Knights Valley
BEST SPARKLING: Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards
Gloria Ferrer, 2004 Carneros Cuvee
BEST WHITE: EdenVale Winery
2014 Midsummer's Cuvee, Rogue Valley
BEST CIDER: Bold Rock Hard Cider
Carolina Apple NV, North Carolina
BEST FRUIT WINE: Bishops Orchards Winery
Apple Raspberry Blush NV, Southeastern New England
BEST LATE HARVEST/DESSERT: Navarro Vineyards
2014 Riesling Cluster Select, Anderson Valley

This Zinfandel has both the aromatic impact and balanced


structure to pair well with heavier fare like rib eye steak or
lamb osso bucco. Yet, its delicate and pretty enough to pair
with lighter foods as well.

Judges included winemakers, wine buyers, distributors, media


personnel and other wine industry professionals who not only
recognized the best wine submissions but possessed the level of
knowledge and expertise needed to assess the wines terroir, said
VWMs Director of Wine Competitions, Debra Del Fiorentino.
Says GHA spokesperson, Christopher Sawyer, a sommelier and
wine educator based in Sonoma County, For decades we have been
trying to interpret the styles of wines made in America. Now, thanks
to the use of new technology and fruit from more mature vines, the
unique flavor profiles are becoming more defined. For those reasons,
its exciting to see that the diverse list of winners at the Grand Harvest
Awards 2015 really demonstrate how terroir makes a difference in the
flavor profiles of grapes planted in special regions across the nation.
This unique wine competition showcases the diversity of terroir
and we are pleased to be part of the research and promotion of all its
regions in the U.S. and beyond, said Robert Merletti, President and
Publisher of Vineyard & Winery Management magazine.
Full results for the competition are posted on
28

With its ample dark fruit and classic Zinfandel spice, this
distinct wine opens with aromas reminiscent of black
currants and freshly baked cherry pie with a touch of
vanilla. Its crisp and focused, yet maintains enough tannin,
structure and weight to pull the wine through to a long and
lasting finish.

Our Zinfandel is grown at our BCD Vineyard on the rolling


hills that lead up to the Coastal mountain range. Cold fog
flows in from the nearby Pacific Ocean in the evening and
covers the vineyard until midmorning. Its common to have
a 35 degree temperature swing from early-morning lows to
peak afternoon highs after the fog burns away. In addition,
the soils here are the ideal combination of sand from the mountain ranges and clays
from the lower river valley. This particular sandy-loam soil composition holds just
enough water to ripen our grapes yet still allows for good drainage.
Balletto Vineyards is one of the few estate grown and bottled wines in Russian River
Valley. Farming in Russian River Valley for 40 years, the family sources all its fruit
from only its best vineyards and blocks, controlling the entire grape growing and
winemaking process. Balletto Vineyards is known for high QPR with a signature style
that runs towards elegance, balance and varietal typicity. The familys flagship wines
are its Russian River Valley AVA and vineyard-designated Pinot Noirs and
Chardonnays.

MUMM NAPA
Celebrate Life Every Day with Mumm Napa
Sparkling Wines For Everyone
Things that sparkle attract attention: diamonds, a shooting
star, sunlight playing on a river, and freshly fallen snow.
Sparkling wine poured into a glass embodies what is magical,
mysterious, and fascinating.
Mumms first wines were sold under the name Domaine
Mumm in 1986 from vineyards located in the southern tip of
Napa in Carneros regions. These vineyards were planted with
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier the classic
combination of Champagne grapes. In addition to the
advantages of the warm days and cool nights in Carneros, the
land possesses a key component essential to the taste of a
wine made from the Champagne district vineyards in France
limestone.
Since 1991, Mumm Napa has also been sourcing stunning
fruit from the Devaux Ranch Vineyard in Carneros.
Considered by many to be one of the most beautiful
vineyards in Napa Valley, this estate-grown site is named after
Mumm Napas founding Winemaker, Guy Devaux. Guy was a
pioneer of mthode traditionnelle sparkling wines, and Devaux
Ranch is symbolic for creating his ultimate Brut, a blend of
58% Pinot Noir, 28% Chardonnay, 8% Pinot Meunier and 6%
Pinot Gris.

Perfect Pairs

BY MELISSA VOGT

Judds Hill Winery & MicroCrush


Packed with Flavor: 2011 Estate Pinot Noir Paired
with Double-Smoked Sweet Umami Grilled Salmon
A general rule of thumb when pairing wine and food is to
keep the two compatible. For example, white wines go well
with lighter meats such as fish, chicken and turkey. Heavy reds
go well with darker meats, such as beef and lamb. While there
are always exceptions to the rules, you can often find a
heavenly match when adhering to these like-minded
combinations. How about a lighter-styled red though, such as
Pinot Noir?
In the vineyards, Pinot is a tricky grape to grow because it is
thin-skinned and delicate; when pairing Pinot Noir with food,
however, it is ever the versatile choice. Pinot Noir can be paired
with a wide range of dishes, meats and fishand it just so
happens to go particularly well with salmon. Because Pinot
Noir is both delicate and complex, salmon is an excellent
companion because of its supple texture, rich flavor and
fattiness. Pinot Noir and salmon share the same duality of
being both light and rich at the time same, and when you bring
together these two with a delicious marinade as the bridge, you
just cant go wrong.
At Judds Hill Winery, they have developed a simple salmon
recipe that brings a ton of flavor and depth to the plate.
Likewise, their 2011 Estate Pinot Noir from Napa Valley also
brings a lot of pleasurable flavors and length on the palate. The
wines natural beauty really shines through by way of its aging
in neutral oak barrels; without new oak influencing the flavor,
the fresh fruit flavors and terroir of the vineyard grace the
palate in plain view. Pair these two for a perfect evening!
The Double-Smoked Sweet Umami Grilled Salmon, grilled
with a cedar smoking plank and wood smoking chips, is a
scrumptious match for Judds Hill Winerys 2011 Estate Pinot
Noir. It has lovely red fruit aromatics, followed by a
combination of cherry, raspberry and a touch of pomegranate
on the palate. These notes lend themselves well to the sweet
and savory salmon marinade of honey, mustard, soy sauce and
fresh ginger. While the honey brings a touch of sweetness to
the pairing, the mustard and soy sauce contrast the wines fruit
and provide extra complexity. The fresh ginger makes the
entire palate feel refreshed, cleansing the taste buds with each
and every flavorful bite.
This tasty recipe, as well as other delicious recipes, can be
found on the Judds Hill Winery website at www.juddshill.com.
Be sure to check out their extensive list of excellent recipes,
complete with wine pairings to create that perfect evening. Or
better yet, visit the tasting in Napa at 2332 Silverado Trail and
say hello!

Double-Smoked Sweet Umami Grilled Salmon

(SERVES 6)

INGREDIENTS:
Six boneless salmon filets (Whole Foods sells a frozen pack
of six salmon filets that work perfectly for this recipe)
cup of diced red onion
Two cedar smoking planks
Wood smoking chips and a metal grill-top smoker box
MARINADE:
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh ginger or ginger paste (We use Gourmet Garden Ginger Paste)
PREPARATION:

Soak cedar smoking plank(s) and wood chips for a minimum of four hours, preferably
six to eight hours or even overnight. Be sure to weigh down the wood planks so they
are fully submerged during soaking.
Preheat grill to 500 with wood chips (in smoke box) placed on top of burners along the
side of the grill. Prepare marinade as grill heats.
Warm honey in microwave for 20 seconds at half power to soften. Mix mustard into
the honey first and then mix in ginger and soy sauce. Place salmon filets onto watersoaked cedar planks and brush marinade on salmon filets. Sprinkle cup of diced
red onions over salmon. Place planks with salmon on grill. Make sure to avoid placing
the planks directly over the box of wood chips, in case the box flares up with a fire.
Grill the salmon for 12 minutes. Be careful not to overcook. Twelve minutes goes by
fast! We like to serve the salmon on a bed of balsamic drizzled arugula alongside new
potatoes and a little mac-n-cheese. DEVIN JOSHUA, JUDDS HILL WINERY & MICROCRUSH

uncles tradition of offering artisan, single vineyard and appellation
wines.
Located conveniently in the heart of Calistoga at 1307 Lincoln,
Ave., tasting here can be a destination at the end or at the beginning
of your Winter in the Wineries passport journey.
Winter in the Wineries Passport program is a great way for
participants to experience both Napa Valley varietals and Calistoga
offerings, said Chris Canning, executive director of the Calistoga
Chamber of Commerce and Welcome Center, which sponsors the
passport series, now in its sixth year. We are excited to welcome
another year of the passport series. Its a great way for visitors to
leisurely explore and sip through the city over the two-month
period.
Passports are valued at $300, and are available online. Many
participating wineries request that visitors make reservations before
tasting, and a list including those wineries as well as participating
hotels, shops and restaurants is posted on the visitcalistoga.com
website. The website also features short video teasers to introduce
passport holders to the participating wineries.
The passport series is a fun and economic way to break-up the fast
pace of the holiday season or to just get away for a relaxing time in
wine country. Aside from the world-famous wines, Calistoga is
known for its natural geothermal waters, popular spas, upscale
dining and outdoor activities. Its enough for a full and memorable
adventure in the northern Napa Valley.

Behind the Scenes at The Hess Art Museum Meet Rob Ceballos
BY JAMES CAUDILL

Take a look at reviews on popular rating sites for The Hess Art
Museum in Napa, and the comments have a certain sameness, but in a
very good way. Stellar, stunning, unexpected are common
descriptors, the natural result of arriving on Mount Veeder at The Hess
Collection for a wine tasting and finding a world-class contemporary
art collection with notable masters like Frank Stella, Andy
Goldsworthy, Franz Gertsch and Francis Bacon, among many others.
Donald Hess remains passionate that selections from his massive
collection (reportedly more than 1,000 works currently displayed in
three museums, with many more pieces on loan for various museum
exhibitions around the world) be available daily without charge for
visitors. Maintaining the collection and presenting it for visitors falls
to Museum Director Rob Ceballos, who has been part of Hess for
nearly three decades, an artist in his own right, uniquely qualified to
watch over three floors of artworks, helping to frame understanding
of the often dramatic and challenging contemporary works.

How he became the museum director is a story worth telling.


Growing up in Napa, art was the furthest thing from his mind. In
fact, UC Davis beckoned, with a career as a small animal vet
satisfying a deep appreciation for science. But a school counselor
noted that each time he completed an aptitude test, he wasnt much
of a scientist, but he was quite a promising artist.
Counselor Larry Murphy believed in Robs promise so much that
his encouragement included providing art supplies and making it
possible for then 17-year-old Rob to join in his first gallery group
show just off the Sonoma Plaza.
Rob attended Napa Community College while still wrestling with
the notion that his destiny was in art, and learned that the famous
pop artist Wayne Thiebaud taught art at UC Davis, and he promptly
enrolled and earned his BA in art, influenced greatly by Thiebaud.
While attending college, he worked as a toy sculptor along with other
UC Davis art students, creating prototypes which were turned into
manufacturing molds in Japan for everything from the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles to Easy Bake Ovens and a host of Star Trek
figures. And yes, he wishes he still had some of those prototypes
today.
Meanwhile Donald Hess had arrived in Napa and his art collection

38

Rob Ceballos

was in the vanguard for winery attractions that expanded Napa


Valleys appeal. Robs girlfriend, also an artist, had signed on to work
in the Hess tasting room and Rob followed, but was turned down
because he sported shoulder length hair and was found to be a bit
shy to act as a winery host. He was invited, instead, to join the
culinary staff as a cook (he had been working a bit in catering) and
was considering a career as a chef.
Napa Community College organized a student exhibition featuring
the works of students who had attended UC Davis after first studying
at NCC, and Robs artist girlfriend (and Hess Visitor Center host) made
sure that Donald Hess attended the show, hoping to impress him with
her work. It wasnt long before she told Rob that Donald Hess only
has eyes for your work, not mine. When Donald Hess asked about
the Ceballos painting and was told that Rob, in fact, worked for him,
he laughed and remarked, that quiet guy in the kitchen?
Hes perhaps a bit quiet with our guests, but he has a lot going on
in this painting. He purchased it, and it remains on display in the
Hess Administrative offices, easily seen from the walkway leading to
the museum.
With a hair trim and a keen understanding that the kitchen was
not his final career destination, he was invited back as a host in the
tasting room, where he hoped not only to overcome his natural
shyness and improve his people skills, but refine his ability to tell a
story, and share his love of art and wine with visitors.
His natural interest in art found him in high demand as a museum
tour guide, and mentor to the other staff members. With the curator
of the complete collection housed in Switzerland, Rob became the
Napa-based coordinator for all things related to the artwork.
Donald and Rob began talking regularly about the art collection,
and Rob added artist descriptions for all the paintings, created a selfguided audio tour, and ultimately became the Hospitality Director
and Visitor Center manager. But his heart remained with the art
collection.
A group of visiting distributor partners sat down with Donald for a
beautiful dinner at Hess, and presented him with an unexpected gift:
a velvet painting of Elvis, the classic art kitsch. Rob took custody of
the painting and slipped away, feverishly creating an artist description

and hanging the painting on a museum wall, where it was


discovered when Donald Hess led the group on an art tour.
Thankfully, Donald roared with laughter, and Robs future as
museum director was now secure.
His work includes the expected duties, caring and protecting
the artworks, maintaining relationships with the artists, who
sometimes visit their works, and training staff members and
leading VIP tours. But one program remains special, and speaks to
the pure appreciation for art that first drew him to his career.
Each winter, when the tourists are a bit less in evidence in
Napa, the museum hosts elementary school classes, who tour the
artworks and finish their visit with milk and chocolate chip
cookies freshly baked by Hess Chef Chad Hendrickson.
Adults often ask me to tell them what they are supposed to
experience, or understand about the paintings and sculptures they
encounter, mused Rob. Theyre almost timid, afraid.
The kids are not at all affected by such things, he observed.
They are pure and wondrous in their appreciation for and
questioning about the art.
Its inspiring, and a great reminder that there is no right or
wrong way to look at art or wine tasting and it makes things
fresh for me all over again, even after all these years.
Donald Hess has returned to Switzerland, but visits the winery
and museum often, sometimes surprising winery guests with an
impromptu discussion of a favorite painting. For Rob, Donalds
sincere commitment to the idea of collecting and sharing art shows
Donalds generosity of spirit, something he says is increasingly rare
in the serious art world. It drives him ever harder, even after 25
years with The Hess Collection, to find ways to share one of Napas
greatest treasures, available daily without charge, ready to inspire,
challenge and excite each and every visitor.
The Hess Art Museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.,
without charge, and can be visited apart from The Hess Collection
winery. There are special tours and tastings available which
combine wine, food and art pairings. Visit the website at
HessCollection.com or call (707) 255-1144 as reservations are
strongly suggested for the most popular tours.

Best Winery in Napa award for 5 consecutive years in the Bay Area A-List.
2012 Winery of the Year by Connoisseurs guide to fine wine.

Founded in 1992, today Frank Family owns 380 acres of the finest vineyard land
in Napa Valley and has one of the biggest word-of-mouth followings in the wine
country. First constructed as the Larkmead Winery in 1884, the historic stone
building on the property was refinished with native sandstone from the nearby
hills in 1906. The massive stone edifice is considered one of the finest structures
in the Napa Valley; it appears on the National Register of Historical Places and is
listed as a Point of Historical Interest in the state of California.

Fritz Underground Winery Adds Hiking, Wine-and-Food Pairings


In addition to renovating its 1979
hillside tasting room, Fritz Underground
Winery in Sonoma Countys northern Dry
Creek Valley introduces two new visitor
experiences, a vineyard hike and an estate
wine-and-food pairing. Both allow visitors
to experience the unique aspects of the
Fritz Underground Winery property.
Built into a hillside, the tasting room has
been re-oriented so that guests now look at

the vineyards as they sample Fritz


Underground Winery wines. The expanded
U-shaped bar comfortably fits 25 people,
and the sleek elm-top bar and wrought iron
chandelier give the space a modern
sustainable atmosphere that is approachable
and inviting.
The new wine-and-food pairing features
Fritz Estate wines with local artisan cheese
and meats, as well as seasonal or preserved
ingredients from the Fritz Estate gardens.
The tasting is offered by appointment only ($20).
The 90-minute Fritz Vineyard Hike explores the 112-acre Fritz
Estate and the winemaking process with a journey through the
vineyards, the estates organic garden, and the majestic redwoods,
finishing with a detailed tour of the underground winemaking
facility and a seated tasting on the outdoor patio. Guests should
dress accordingly, with hike-appropriate footwear. The vineyard
hike is offered daily at 10:30 a.m. by appointment only ($45).
Fritz Underground Winery is located at 24691 Dutcher Creek
Road in Cloverdale, CA 95425. For more information, call (707)
894-3389 or visit the website at www.fritzwinery.com.

Sonoma Valley Winery Gingerbread Contest


Rings in Holidays in Sonoma Valley Celebration
Sonoma Valley Vintners & Growers Alliance (SVVGA) has
announced the contestants in its 10th annual Sonoma Valley
Winery Gingerbread Contest where member wineries engage in a
friendly competition to create the most magnificent gingerbread
masterpiece. For 2015, wineries were asked to draw inspiration
from Sonoma Valleys heritage-driven moniker In Sonoma Valley
The Roots Run Deep with a Holiday Twist! This unique event is
one of several celebrated elements featured in Holidays in Sonoma
Valley, a calendar of local festivities including open houses,
winemaker dinners, Santa visitations, toy drives and musical
performances. For the complete list of holiday activities, visit the
events calendar at www.SonomaValleyWine.com.
Continuing through December 31, each winery will display
these decadently clever creations in their respective tasting rooms.
Visitors can pick up a map of all participating wineries at any
location, and are invited to vote for their favorites either via the onsite paper ballots or online on the Sonoma Valley Wine Facebook
page. As an added bonus, each time voters cast a ballot either in
person or online; theyll be entered to win a case of hand-selected
Sonoma Valley wines.
With 10 participating wineries, holiday cheer will be spread
throughout Sonoma Valley. The 2015 contestants include:
Benziger Family Winery: Benziger joins the 2015 competition
54

with a Sweet-Treats Tasting Room replica made by wine club


member, Matt Knudsen and his daughter Gabby Knudsen.
B.R. Cohn Winery: The defending champion from 2014, B.R.
Cohns entry will showcase its deep Sonoma roots by featuring its
historic 140-year-old Picholine olive grove and its 40 year old
Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard.
BRYTER Estates: BRYTERs 2015 entry will showcase their very
first vintage of 2007 Inspired Cabernet Sauvignon, its flagship
wine.
Buena Vista Winery: Established in 1857, few wineries have
roots as deep as Buena Vistas. Perhaps fittingly their 2015
Gingerbread entry will be a replica of the winery as it was in
1857.
Chateau St. Jean: Entitled Confectionary Kingdom, Chateau
St. Jeans 2015 entry is being built in part with the assistance of
children from the Boys & Girls Club of Sonoma Valley.
Hamel Family Wines: The Hamel Familys gingerbread creation
will be a confectionary expression of the deep roots that support
their winemaking philosophy. (While guests are welcome to stop
bye to view Hamels entry, actual wine tastings are offered by
appointment only, please visit their website to schedule).
Imagery Estate Winery: The Label Parthenon will feature
edible replicas of 15 artist series wine labels from the past 15
years. The culinary artists behind their entry are IMAGERY
groupies from Dallas, Texas.

Larson Family Winery: Created by CIA Graduate Chef Linda


Rodriguez, Larson Family Winerys whimsical entry is a tribute to
the four-legged friends who have helped work and serve their
farm since the late 1800s. It stars their three family Labradors:
Bubba, Buster and Pete from the winerys ever popular Three Lab
Cab label.

The painting will feature the historic 1800s school which houses
the tasting room.

CHAUVET Holiday Brandy Release from Prohibition Spirits


The cool fall temperatures and rain make us
want to snuggle up in front of a fire with some
alluring brandy. What a perfect time for the release
of Prohibition Spirits
newest micro-craft spirit,
CHAUVET, True
California Brandy. Three
unique expressions of
what California brandy
can be. Elegant and
complex with a depth of
pallet and inner warmth.

CHAUVET XO True California Brandy

777 MADRONE ROAD GLEN ELLEN, CA 95442


707.939.4510 | madronevineyardsestate.com

56

California grown French Colombard grapes are


distilled and aged for five years in French Limousin
oak barrels before being transferred into charred
American oak Bourbon barrels for two additional
years. The combination of grape and unique
barreling program produced a brandy that
resembles a bourbon. CHAUVET XO is bigger and
more robust than traditional brandies with earth,
spice, smoke and leather that finishes with a subtle
fruit sweetness.
$65, 750ml, 80 proof

CHAUVET VS True California Brandy


Younger more approachable than the XO,
CHAUVET VS is produced from the same
California-grown and distilled Colombard grapes
and aged for two years in French oak barrels before
being finished in retired Pinot Noir barrels.
CHAUVET VS drinks more like a cognac and
features pear and apple layers and notes of chocolate
and caramelsoft and vibrant with a balanced fruit
forward sweetness.
$45, 750ml, 80 proof

CHAUVET GO True California Brandy


The Grand Orange Brandy Liqueur starts with
the same VS aged brandy, then California sweet
naval orange peels are added to the barrel during
aging. CHAUVET GO has a powerful orange nose.
The intense orange is well balanced with the subtle
sweetness. The spice, caramel and fruit flavors of
the underlying brandy emerge from behind the
orange essence. Similar to Grand Marnier or
Cointreau without the intense sweetness,
CHAUVET GO is a balanced and refined orange
brandy.
$40, 750ml, 70 proof
