Quality Wines All Under $25


at Wine Garage, Calistoga
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 an large assortment from Napa and Sonoma counties and other Cali-
fornia appellations. 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 Cali-
fornia hunting down the deals. I tried to seek out the small producers who didn’t
have distributors 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 second
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 customer’s favorite wine and translate that into a recom-
mendation 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.

Exciting, New Experiences at Merryvale Vineyards


Located in the heart of Napa Valley, Merryvale’s beautiful and
inviting gardens and winery create a relaxed wine country setting that
is an essential stop during a day of tasting in the Napa Valley.
Merryvale Vineyards is a family-owned winery that for the past 25
years has been turning some of the best Napa grapes into world-class
wine.
Merryvale's historic building was the first winery built in the Napa
Valley after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, and has become a
favorite destination for visitors to the valley. Most striking is the
historic Cask Room, a unique and beautiful room lined with huge
century-old wine casks. Often cited as Napa Valley’s most enchanting
setting for wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, and private and
corporate events, the Historic Cask Room is one of the few winery
locations in Napa Valley that can host your wedding.
Debuting this fall are a couple of exciting seminar experiences, led

be wine expert Shawn Dougherty, which are designed for the Napa
visitor that is looking for more than a “belly up to the bar” visit to a
winery.
First is their Sommelier Reserve Tasting, where guests are treated
to an exquisite private tasting of ultra-premium wines, including
library vintages of the world-renowned Profile. Shawn has hand
selected each wine and treats you to a private, intimate setting in either
the historic Cask Room, the 22,000-gallon redwood Tank Room, The
Barrel Room, or the Wine Library (all subject to availability). Please
allow one hour for this unique experience. The Sommelier Reserve
Tasting is available by appointment only, Friday through Tuesday.
Next is their Wine & Cheese Experience, where guests taste local
artisan and international cheeses paired with a selection of Merryvale
wines. Discover the differences with each pairing and understand why

these cheeses are paired with specific varietals. This delicious adven-
ture features five hand-selected cheeses, charcuterie and five Merry-
vale wines. The Wine & Cheese Experiences is available Friday
through Sunday, from 11 a.m. until 12 p.m., reservations are required.
To sign up for either of these, or find out more, call (707) 968- 3425.
Merryvale is located at 1000 Main Street (on Route 29) at the south
entrance to St. Helena, in the heart of the Napa Valley. They are open
to the public every day from 10 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. For more infor-

NEWS & NOTES…
KUDOS FOR KENT RASMUSSEN
When it comes to the press, it’s usually
feast or famine, and luckily for Kent
Rasmussen Winery it has recently been in healthy portions! Kent
Rasmussen has not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 lovely scores in Wine Enthusiast –
one of them being 94 points and “Editor’s Choice” for its single-vineyard
Esoterica 2007 Petite Sirah. The 2007 Estate Pinot garnered a 92, and
the very limited edition (90 cases) 2007 Cabernet Franc a 91. The KRW
Pinot Noir received a 92 point score from the WE. From the estate vine-
yard in Napa Carneros, this wine is elegant and feminine, with layers of
texture and beguiling fruit in true Burgundian style.
At first it was intended to harmonize in the bottle with the 2007 Cabernet
Sauvignon. Subsequent tastes of the juicy Cab Franc convinced Kent
Rasmussen Winery to bottle it alone. The Wine Enthusiast agreed, and
awarded a 91 point accolade to this balanced blueberry bombshell. Kent
Rasmussen is at 1001 Silverado Trail South, in St Helena. For tastings at
the St. Helena winery, call Michelle at (707) 963-5667.

SUISUN VALLEY
Suisun Valley – Hidden But Treasured Wine Country
by Charles Neave
First, foremost and always, the Suisun Valley in Solano County just
25 minutes from Napa, has its roots – often quite literally – in the
business and passion of agriculture. And nowhere is that more evident
than in the rich earth and thriving vineyards and farms of the Suisun
Valley, the stretch of land that runs to the west of Fairfield and Inter-
state 80, and borders the county of Napa on two sides.
Perfectly situated between a pair of coastal mountain ranges, the
Mount George Range on the west and the Vaca Mountains to the east,
this verdant six by two mile valley sits within the Coastal climate
region. It is also an area where fog rarely visits, though it is not far
from both the Sacramento River delta and San Francisco’s San Pablo
Bay.
Set within this compact area are more than 10,000 acres of rich
farmland, almost a third of them planted to the grapes that help
supply the area’s flourishing wineries, and many with a more familiar
Napa Valley label. This region is part of the North Coast Appellation, and it is the driving force behind the annual Tomato Festival in Fair-
a district famous for what is known as “ultra-premium” fruit, which field, and for other events that occur throughout the year. But most of
in the case of wine lovers everywhere means wine grapes, planted to all it stands as enduing symbol of the real, living heritage of this part
a staggering number of both familiar and rare varieties. of the hidden but treasured wine country of Northern California.
