Selling wine in America is as much

marketing as it is anything else. The

competition is strong and there are a

lot of great wines from a lot of places. Butstaying power, the ability to market your wine

and continue selling bottle after bottle takes

something special indeed. J. Lohr Vineyards

& Wines knows something about making

and selling wines as theyve been doing it for

more than three decades.

Jerry Lohr first started planting vineyards

and making wine in Monterey County in

1972 and then in the Paso Robles region in

1988. In Paso, J. Lohr now grows 2,000 acres

of red wine grapes, making only red wines in

the area that UC Davis called the next great

red wine region. That was in the 1970s.

Now, the Lohr family is all involved in the

family business and Steve Lohr, Jerrys son, is

vice president of planning and development.

Overseeing all of the vineyards and holdings

for J. Lohr from St. Helena in the Napa Valley

to Monterey County to Paso Robles, Steves

work keeps him constantly traveling and

constantly busy.

I got involved right from the start, really,

says Lohr. I planted the first vineyards in

Monterey County when I was 10 years old

and so Ive been around it a long while.

Detouring to Stanford and earning degrees in

civil engineering and economics with careersin construction and engineering along the

way, Steve has now come back to the fold,

along with sister Cynthia and brother

Lawrence, all of whom play roles in the

J. Lohr family business.

A boutique wine feel is what drives the

engine of J. Lohr. The size of the company,

however, allows them to have state-of-the-art

analytical facilities and labs and the result is a

marriage of old-world craftsmanship and

new-world techniques unique among wine-

makers.

Lohr wanted top talent to help manage the

extraordinary winemaking business of red

wines in Paso Robles. He found the right

person in Steve Peck, formerly of Brown-

Formans Five Rivers Winery. Pecks strong

science and chemistry background from UC

Davis was a major factor in his coming to

J. Lohr. We wanted someone with a strong

analytical background, but who also got the

feel of wine, says Lohr. Its not often

find someone with the combination

science and feel like Steve has. We got

right man. Steve Peck whose creden

are long and honorable works alongside

Meier, senior vice president of winemakTogether, they complete the companys fo

on Paso Robles red wine.

The Paso Robles facility is responsible

some truly extraordinary wines. Among th

is the J. Lohr Cuve Series, wines that

inspired by the blends of the Grand

Chateau regions of France including Paui

Pomerol and St. Emillion. Well age thos

French oak anywhere from 24-30 months

the result is a wine we think rivals the bes

the Grand Cru, says Lohr. We also make

J. Lohr Estates Seven Oaks Cabernet here

that is the number one selling Cab in

United States over $12 a bottle.

The diversity of climate and soils in P

and the quality and breadth of the wines h

are really what drew us, says Lohr. He sho

know, as one of the many hats he wears

Alliance. Were here to get the word out

with our grand tastings and trade

to the position of board chair and

that honor has conferred upon

him a unique role. As a sort of

ambassador for not only J. Lohr,

but also Paso Robles wines in

general, Steve is living proof that

J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines fits

right in with the family feeling of

Paso Robles wine growers.

The J. Lohr vineyards in Paso

Robles grow Cabernet Sauvi-

gnon, Syrah, Merlot, Zinfandel,

Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit

Verdot. We do a lot of blending

and we like to stay as traditional

as possible, says Lohr. The

grapes were growing here are asgood as or better than anywhere

else in the world. Lohr should

know. With vineyards that span

the great growing regions of Cali-

fornia, hes had a chance to

sample them all and Paso Robles

consistently ranks at the top.

The focus on only red wine in

Paso Robles has allowed J. Lohr

to become something of an

expert in the region. J. Lohrwines that are grown here are an

extension of a winemaking tradi-

tion that goes back well before

those first vineyards in Monterey

County to a time when wine was

a family tradition, a family occu-

pation. Almost every winemaker

says that at some point or

another, wine is made in the

vineyard. Great grapes equal

great wine. Steve Lohrs commit-

ment to spending some time

every week in the vineyards is

more proof of his familys dedica-

tion to making those wines.

ON THE COVER WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK


by Mark Storer

New World and Old World wine classi-

fications have always been a little bit

at odds with one another. In France,

for example, one doesnt buy a bottle of Pinot

Noir, one buys a bottle of Burgundy. Euro-

pean winemakers have always put an

emphasis on terroir, soil and land, not on

grape variety. New World winemakers have

made the grape varietal king and so buying

wines from either Old or New World

purveyors has become more of an education

than an exercise in choice.

Enter Bion Rice, whose family wine-making foundations include Sunstone

Winery in Santa Ynez, and who decided that

while he learned winemaking in the New

World, it was the Old World idea of blending

and cuvee winemaking that intrigued him.

The longer I spent in the winery learning the

craft and science of winemaking, the more

interested I became in the art of blending

wine. I found that blending really appealed to

my senses and was more creative. Turning

from his roots at Sunstone to the Old World

art of blending wines, Rice began Artiste

Winery and Studio in downtown Santa Ynez.

Artiste is not just another winery, though

as is evinced by Rices dedication to cuvee

blending rather than a focus on varietals.

Artiste allows me to focus solely on quality,

without being ultimately concerned with

designating single-vineyards and political

appellations, or staying vintage and varietal

on the label, he says. Still, that wasnt the

entire basis for his focus.

Working together with artists, Rice devel-oped, not only a unique winemaking facility,

but an artists studio as well. Rice built a

winery dedicated to using the highest quality

grapes to produce truly singular wines from

vineyards all over the state. He is, in essence,

using California as his pallet to create exotic

tastes for your palate. Its a synergy borne of

the artistry of winemaking and thus, Artistes

name.

The winerys showcase of local and world-

renowned artists at the facility showing their

work is the lynchpin in this unique wine

studio. This month, Artiste will host the

paintings of Craig Nelson an artist known for

his rich, lush oil paintings, Nelson is a

favorite of many collectors including James

Garner, Neil Simon, The Toyota Corporation

and many others. His work will be displayed

at Artiste for all to see.But it doesnt stop with seeing other artists

work at Artiste. In the Santa Ynez tasting

studio, prepare to explore your own artistic

side as a public canvas is on display for each

customer to paint, draw or express their own

creativity while tasting premium California

cuvees. Thats why we chose a salon setting

for our Tasting Studio, where visitors may

express themselves and share their opinions

with others, says Rice. In museums and

galleries, visitors are expected to keep q

and to themselves. At Artiste, howe

customers are encouraged to express not o

their own creativity, but their opinions

thoughts about the wines theyre drinking

hope Artiste opens peoples minds ab

blends and helps them to trust and sh

their own impressions, Rice adds. At Art

the subjective is celebrated, talked about

shared.

The studio itself is a sort of monumen

the 1870s impressionist art movement

France. The studio is designed to look

the Hotely Baudy in Giverny, France wh

the impressionist movement is thoughthave begun.

Each release from Artiste include

release from one of its many artists on

label and is accompanied by a food pair

and art show featuring those very painti

and a discussion with the artist as wel

autographed bottles. The synergy of art

wine comes full circle when the inspirat

within the bottle becomes the same insp

tion outside the bottle, on its label.

Rices unique blends, themselves

homage to Old World wine blending tr

tions have given birth to beautifully cra

wines such as Toretta. With a base of

Italian varietal, Nebbiolo, Rice blends

Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a small bit

Barbera. The Bordeaux combine with

Cal-Itals and the result is now an Art

library wine.

Artiste goes where few other wineries h

chosen to go, directly into the art of wi

making. But rather than make that art in

cessible and out of touch, Bion Rice, and rest of the Artiste crew, have brought

artists and the winemakers right out in fr

for all to see. Customers can even sit in

Rices blending sessions and talk about

choices he makes while he makes them

short, Artiste brings its art and its wine

the people.

Artiste is located at 3569 Sagunto Stree

When the 15 C Wine Shop & Bar openened last week, it

brought a world of taste to San Luis Obispo County. In addi-

tion to California wine labels, owners Ali Carscaden and

Allison Dominguez offer international wines, artisan beers, imported

sake and a mouth-watering array of gourmet foods.

Their shelves are bursting with a cornucopia of imported cheeses,

domestic and imported oils and vinegars, and even special salts,

honeys and cured meats.

Sensing a market gap in the northern half of SLO County, the

young entrepreneurs decided to open their adventurous boutique in

tiny Templeton, a few miles south of Paso Robles and just off Highway

101 at the intersection of Vineyard Drive.

The name of the shop refers to the ideal temperature for winecellars, according to Ali, a former Henry Wine Group sales rep and

certified sommelier who holds a masters degree in agriculture from

Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo.

People in the U.S. are more familiar with the Fahrenheit equiva-

lent, of course (58), but we felt the Celsius form better reflects our

international theme, she explained.

The shop is optimally arranged with the non-alcoholic items up

front, affording patrons the convenience of leaving the bar to browse

while sipping their wine, beer or sake.

The juxtaposition of food and wine brings other advantages,

enabling customers to indulge in cheese and meat platters or even

desserts while searching for the perfect wine and food pairings. Ofcourse, Ali and Allison will also be glad to provide suggestions and

assistance. In fact, Allison has worked at some of the top restaurants

in the Western states.

Educational seminars, special ordering, chilled beverages and

snack-packs available for take-out, and gift bundles their twist on

the traditional food and wine basket are other distinctive features of

the shop.

Their broad selection of beverages includes many that are hard to

find in the county now such as French Burgundy, sparkling sake and

European brews. Coupled with a high-tech, wine-preserving system,

it creates a truly unique tasting experiences for customers, who cancompare the local, state and international wines or sample a flight of

dessert wines with chocolates. Well even be able to offer hundred-

dollar-a-bottle wines by the glass, Ali said.

Since the women share a strong environmental ethic, they have

been working hard to make their business as green as possible.

Allison even holds a masters degree in environmental science. The

foot-thick concrete walls of our building help keep the shop at the

ideal temperature for wine storage, so we wont need to use much

energy for that purpose, she explained. We also plan to offer organ-

ically produced wines and other green food and beverages.

Of course, there will be a wine club. Three of them, in fact, e

with the option of choosing all red, all white or a combination. C

benefits will include 10 percent off all wine, 10 percent off any w

club reorders, 10 percent off classes and events and free tasting

featured wines.

Wine Rack members will receive two bottles each month, no

exceed $25. Subscribers to The Cellar receive six bottles each qua

with a $150 cap. This is the club for those who like to drink win

well as do a little collecting on the side, Allison explained.The Cav is for the wine connoisseur who wants only the m

exceptional selections that will wow anyone. This level offers

bottles every three months, with a maximum cost of $500.

The dynamic duo even offer cellar consulting, for customers

want to build or upgrade their existing facility. And they will pro

in-home wine events. You pick the theme and the beverages,

well do the rest, Ali said.

The combined expertise of the owners, along with their uniq

diverse food and beverage selections, array of services and ideal l

tion, is what they hope will distinguish their business. I alw

wanted to have my own business, said Allison, who worked alside a master sommelier in Vail, Colorado. But restaurants have s

long hours. The wine shop is perfect.

Ali had a similar yearning. In fact, she wrote the business plan

the shop while studying at Cal Poly, where the two friends met.

just all fallen into place, Ali said. This is an exciting time to be do

this. People are coming from around the world to taste and even m

wine here!

15 C is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.,

on Friday-Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more informatio

Grilled Rack of Lamb

Perfectly Paired with

Anglim Zinfandel

GRILLED RACK OF LAMB AND VEGETABLES

Submitted by Steve and Steffanie Anglim

Were big believers in the notion that great food doesnt have to be

complicated. We tend toward family-friendly, easy-to-prepare foods

with great flavors, and Steve loves the grill, so its a natural choice

for us. Steve prepared this rack of lamb for our recent Harvest

Festival Barbeque and received rave reviews (Sofia, our 3-year-old

daughter, ate three chops all by herself!) Add an assortment of

vegetables to round out the meal.

Rack of Lamb

Trim fat from the rack of lamb to expose 1 to 1-1/2 inches of bones

and about 1/8-inch of fat on meat. Alternatively, ask your butcher to

dress rack and trim excess fat from the ribs.

At least 3 hours before cooking (or up to the night prior), pat the

meat with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and rub in about

one-half ounce of Mediterranean herbs per rack. Cover and refrig-

erate. The herb blend we use includes rosemary, sage, lemon, dill

weed, fennel, garlic and marjoram. Google it...or try The Spice House

in Chicago.

Remove from refrigerator and allow meat to come to room tempera-

ture (about 1 hour).

Pre-heat grill, preferably with mesquite charcoal, until very hot.

Grill meat 3-5 minutes per side undisturbed, fat side first. Use tongsto turn. Cook to 5 degrees below desired doneness based on

internal temperature (trust your thermometer). Remove from grill

and allow to stand 10 minutes before cutting.

Grilled Vegetables

The assortment is really a preference issue Steve loves asparagus,

Steffanie loves pumpkin and Sofia loves fingerling potatoes so you

see how we choose. In all cases, we like to pre-cook the vegetables

somewhat (even up to a day before), and then finish on the grill; the

key is to not over cook or theyll end up soggy.

Asparagus: steam in white wine (our Anglim 2005 Roussanne works

nicely) for 2 minutes; trim discolored ends, then grill to warm

Pumpkin / Winter Squash: lightly season with salt and pepper (and

a little cinnamon if you like), and roast in 350 degree oven for 20

minutes or so. Slice into wedges and finish on grill.

Fingerling Potatoes: brush with olive oil and season with salt,

pepper and rosemary; roast in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes

finish on grill.

To serve: Slice chops and arrange meat and vegetables on a large

platter. Serve family style fingers are the tool of choice at our

house and enjoy!

Just the mention of lamb to anyone who dabbles in wine

and food pairing would automatically elicit a response of the

traditional match: Bordeaux wine or, when speaking ofdomestic wine, a Meritage wine. These are wines that blend

Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and other traditional Bordeaux

grapes into a classic and elegant wine. But Paso Robles

Anglim Winery kicked the intrigue up a notch, without sacri-

ficing elegance, with their 2005 Zinfandel from St. Peter of

Alcantara Vineyard. Its richness, bright fruit and notes of

cinnamon spice all bring out the earthy spiciness of the lamb.

Their simple, family-friendly grilled rack of lamb recipe with

grilled winter vegetables is the perfect dish for anyone who

loves comfort food on a cold night. If a lighter wine is your

preference, try their Anglim 2006 Ros; this dry blend ofGrenache, Syrah, Mourvdre and Viognier has good body

and a spicy character that complements the meat.

Anglim Winery is a small, family-owned label producing

vineyard-designate varietals and blends. Case production is

3,000 to 4,000 cases a year using 100 percent French oak.

The tasting room is located at 740 Pine Street in downtown

Paso Robles, next to the Amtrak station. Tasting Hours are

Thursday through Monday, 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Sunday

from noon to 5:30 p.m. For more information, call (805)

227-6813 or visit the website at www.anglimwinery.com.

CASS VINEYARDS

The tasting room at Cass Vineyards, which opened in 2005, offers

a wonderful outdoor seating area under an ancient oak tree and a

small caf where guest can sample delicious food paired with the

wonderful wines of Cass Vineyard and Winery.

The boutique winery is a bit off the beaten path, but well worth

the drive through some of the areas most dramatic vistas. The winery

features award-winning, estate-grown Rhne varietals such as Viog-

nier, Roussanne, Marsanne, Grenache, Mourvdre and Syrah

grapes perfectly suited to the warm, dry region. A unique feature of

winery is that all of the Rhne grapes grown are ENTAV certified.

ENTAV (Establissement National Technique pour lAmelioration de

la Viticulture) is the national agency of France responsible for the

quality of wine grape varieties. More than 90% of all French Vine-

yards are started with ENTAV certified plants and are only recently

available in California. Cass wines are some of the very first winesmade from ENTAV grapes grown here.

Fall colors adorn an 800-square-foot

tasting room that is something of the

American dream come true. Scott

Cellars, the brainchild of Peter Fraser (middle

name, Scott), in Los Olivos is a boutique

winery with a no-nonsense practical dreamer

at its helm. He built the wood bar himself

and the pictures on the wall are photos he

took himself of the vineyards where he

sources his grapes.

I was living in Los Angeles in 1992 when

the riots hit, recalls Fraser. I simply sat andre-evaluated my life. What did I want to do?

How did I want to do it? The soul-search

led to an impromptu job at a wine marke

wanted to be a winemaker, but Id never d

anything like it before. So, first, I wante

learn how to sell it. The job at the store

to a job with a distributor and even at

point, a job selling the infamous 2-b

Chuck brand, Charles Shaw befor

became a household name.

Eventually, Fraser talked himself into a

buy and I made wine at home. Thats how I learned. No mentors,

no great winemaking god in the background of his life, Peter Fraser

decided what he wanted to be and worked hard to become that. Thatled him and his wife, Jennifer to San Marcos Avenue in Los Olivos

where Scott Cellars was born.

Producing about 1,000 cases of wine a year, Frasers plan calls for

him to increase slowly and at intervals. I am a one-man show. I am

the Owner, Winemaker, Tasting Room Manager, Marketing Manager,

Sales Manager. and Chief Cook and Bottle Washer, he says. Jennifer,

an administrator for a medical insurance company in nearby Santa

Barbara, helps out in the tasting room at times. Shes a real inspiration

to me.

Fraser buys grapes from vineyards all over the Central Coast. His

most popular wine, Cuvee J (created by Jennifer) is a Zinfandel, Syrah

blend. But the Scott Cellars stable produces everything from Pinot

Gris to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay to Zinfandel. Fraser says his home-

made spicy crab bisque paired with his Pinot Gris is one of the best

meals hes had.

I cant [over] sic emphasize the importance of working in and out

of the cellar. The cellar taught me technique while sales taught me the

market. You cant have one without the other, Fraser says. S

Cellars is indeed an American dream, created by a man with a p

tical vision for what he wants who answers to his own instincts. indeed a New World at Scott Cellars.

Taste the wines of Scott Cellars at the tasting room, 2933

Marcos Avenue in Los Olivos, Thursday through Monday from n

to 5 p.m. For more information, call (805) 686-5450.
