Long before the mass production of glass bottles, wine was sold inbulk and transported in wooden barrels. Wine merchants in England,the world’s largest customer of French wine at the time, purchasedand resold it by the barrel.
In the course of storing wine in barrels and transporting it acrossthe English Channel, small changes happened: aroma improved,flavor sweetened and mouthfeel amplified. Also evident, the winelasted longer. Changes like these didn’t go unnoticed by merchantsand producers who concluded that the weeks and months wine spentin contact with wood enhanced and preserved it. The benefits ofwood contact with wine eventually became part of their normalwinemaking regimen.
Oak became the material of choice over other woods because of itsabundance, inherent characteristics of hardness and durability, and itsease in bending when heated. It also has good anti-leaking properties,despite allowing microscopic amounts of air to pass through withoutspoiling the wine – an added benefit responsible for the gracefulaging of wine.
Perhaps oak’s most important contribution is flavor. If you ever geta chance to watch an oak barrel being made, the wood’s potential forflavor is immediately obvious as soon as the wood is heated by anopen flame. This toasting process extracts natural aroma compounds,smelling as sweet as a cake baking in an oven. Sweetness, like vanillaand mocha, are among many aromatic and flavor contributions oftoasted oak. Others are almond, clove, nutmeg, exotic spice and char,each of which has potential to complement certain wines.
When balanced with wine’s other components, and under theguidance of a skilled winemaker, seamless integration of wine andwood can create irresistible results. A problem might come if theimpact from oak in the wine overtakes the fruit flavor of the grape.When true varietal character is overwhelmed by oakiness, pairingwith food becomes more difficult.
Red wines almost always aged in oak include Cabernet Sauvignon,Merlot, Zinfandel, Syrah, Pinot Noir and Sangiovese. The mostpopular white wine to age in barrels is Chardonnay, but there are ahandful of other white wines that benefit from some oak barrel aging,as well.

There’s one thing you can count on as a farmer: one year’sweather will never be like any other. What that means inpractice is that the past only serves as example, not roadmap.And especially in a year like this one, where none of theestablished past patterns seem to hold and drought is on theclose horizon, how we strategize about the weather and ourwater use makes the difference between having grapes to makeinto wine and having to take a pass after two bumper harvests ina row. What makes this doubly fraught is that this year’sdecisions affect two years’ crops.
Why? Because vines aren’t like other annual, row crops. Ifyou look closely at a vine, you will see both this year’s and nextyear’s buds, which is why weather damage can be such aproblem: a grower is forced to contemplate the loss of multipleyears’ income. Inside each bud are really small leaves, and fromthem come the leaves, canes, shoots and grapes, and each budhas concentric layers, which is why weather damage is along acontinuum. Minor damage, generally from frost, may reduce theyield a bit, but it’s the more severe darkening, akin to frostbite,which is the real issue, guaranteeing a crop loss of at least fiftypercent, if not more. Equally, the phloem, the “bark” on theexterior of canes and vine trunks, can also be damaged by cold,causing crop losses, too.
The best way to understand winegrowing options for weathermitigation is to “walk” through the vineyard throughout the year.Winter cold, even as cold as we got this past year, is actually noissue because the vines are dormant, which is why all fifty stateshave vineyards. Spring is when weather has the most impact on
two years’ crops because the weather often flipflops quitequickly, and rain at an early point can be helpful to bringtemperatures up while later in the season causing crop damagevia hail or thunderstorms’ winds. Shattering of the blomingflowers can disrupt clusters or keep them from being fertilized,yet when faced with a frost event earlier in the year, rain iswelcomed as it brings the temperature up above freezing.summer and fall heat can also be an issue because too-high atemperature can cause vines to shut down, shriveling or evensunburning grapes, and also potentially killing the vine in theprocess.
There are actually lots of options for mitigation, and the best,as you might expect, are set up so as to help solve more than oneproblem. Believe it or not, something as simple as low trellisingversus high has an impact as far as weather goes as low trellisesin the wrong locales are more subject to frost damage, andhigher trellises can provide shade for adjacent rows. How thetrellis is trimmed in winter and early spring prior to budbreak isthus one strategy, and there is projected to be a move back to“California Sprawl” from the VSP “candelabra” currently seen allover as the North Coast replants in the next few years for thisreason: not only does this provide different vine growth and brixgains, but it also helps as regards frost or hail damage duringApril and May, when the buds break and the vines flower.
Mechanical options abound, too. The wine machines, thosetwirling engines and fans on poles; the “Inverted Sinks” or “AirDams,” which essentially turn the wind machine to provide afrost sink to pull cold air down and away from vines on hillsidesand slopes; vertical sprinklers and micro-sprinklers, which canraise the temperature or allow frozen water to encase and protectthe vines; and smudge pots, the gas fired heaters for the end ofvineyard rows which work in combination with windmachines – all are ways to work in combination with the land tomitigate the negatives of weather while allowing the “terroir,” thelocational distinctiveness, to still show through in the grapes andfinished wines by “moving the weather” since the vines reallycannot. It’s not always easy or cheap, but the results are worthit, no? Enjoy!

BY CHARLES NEAVEFor the most part, going wine tasting is about the easiest thing in
the world, especially here in California where wineries and tastingrooms abound. You can find wineries specializing in red wines of alltypes, those that are famous for their white wines and others whopour sparkling wine. It is a matter of doing a little research andplanning your day. Most tasting rooms open around 10 a.m. andclose between 4:30 and 6 p.m. Here are some tips that have provento be helpful and are designed to help make the sensory adventure ofwine tasting all the more enjoyable.Before you start off pack a few essentials: Water (plenty of water)and something to snack on – crackers or a baguette. Many winerieshave picnic areas and there are plenty of delis and bakeries that canmake up a lunch for you, or make your own. Which brings us toeating and drinking, the kind that doesn’t directly involve wine. Be sure to nibble during the day and make sure you make time forlunch. Two tips: drink at least twice as much water as you do wine,and remember that you don’t have to drink everything poured intoyour glass. There is a reason tasting bars have dump buckets and apitcher of water to wash out your glass.Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Time and time again I have heardknowledgeable winery workers say that there is no such thing as astupid question, and they mean that.You can drink what you want, in the order you want. If you only like
reds, say so; if you don’t like sweet wines, speak up. But the idea ofstarting with whites, then going on to reds and then sweet wines is agood guide. Zinfandel is red. I am sure you know that but it neverhurts to remind everyone.If there is a particular wine you want to try and it is not on the list,ask. There might be a bottle around that was opened for a tradetasting or by the winemaker. Most tasting rooms are happy to pour alittle if you show enthusiasm.Take notes on the wines you most enjoyed.Take advantage of tours when the winery offers them, but keep inmind that they take anywhere from 20 minutes to well over an hour,so one a day is plenty.Buy wines that you can only find at the winery. These often includesmaller (375 ml) bottles of limited production Ports or dessert wines.Don’t buy a wine you can get at a supermarket back home. You’ll paymore, and besides, what’s the point?Look for tasting rooms in towns. Many of these are cooperativetasting rooms, where in one place you might find wines from a dozenor more small-to-medium premium producers. They are scatteredthroughout the area and more are opening all the time.Don’t give too much thought to ratings and vintages. It’s like art: ifyou like it, it’s a good wine. It is as simple as that.Remember that you don’t have to do the driving. It takes no morethan a phone call hire a transportation company to do the driving.

PrAger WiNerY ANd Port WorKsBY ALExANDRA CHARSLEY
When visiting Napa Valley, not many people think about Port Wine but whenever I’min St. Helena, my trip isn’t complete without a visit to Prager Winery and Port Works.Located right off Highway 29, this family owned and operated winery has been hand-crafting various styles of Port since their first harvest in 1979. Founded by Jim andImogene Prager, the winery’s first vintage included Chardonnay, Zinfandel, CabernetSauvignon, and a Cabernet Port. The next generation of Pragers are now handling all ofthe winery’s operations but Imogene still makes her caramelized walnuts as the perfectcomplement to their port wine.
Port wine is hip, cool and not just for your grandparents anymore. The Pragerassortment of ports offers a wide range of versatility, refinement and elegance. Drink theseas a finale to your evening or become a mixologist and create a sensational cocktail usingport wine. This family owned and operated winery has been hand-crafting various stylesof Port since their first harvest in 1979.
They have a brand new tasting bar made from the heart redwood beams used in theirbarrel room. Look across the bar and they have carefully placed small trinkets inside someof the wood knots and finished over them. They kept the barrels behind the tasting barand kept all the Prager character that many have come to love. Wine tastings are $20 for aflight of five premium ports and wines and they are currently pouring Petite Sirah andfour different ports and you get to keep your glass! While they do produce some ports inan old world vintage style, they have taken a classic and made it modern and a littleedgier. Their port wines can be enjoyed now and aren’t cloyingly sweet and over the topbut still possess ample liveliness.
Their flagship port is the Royal Escort and in special years a Royal Escort Vintage Port.This port is made with 100% Petite Sirah grapes from the Paladini Vineyard in St. Helenaand happens to be my favorite port they produce. The rich deep garnet color lends to afresh pressed berry bouquet followed by ripe cherries on the palate and is well balanced.The newly released Noble Companion 10-year-old Tawny Port is made from Cabernet

Sauvignon and has a golden-orange hue with hints of lightcaramel, toasted hazelnut andvanilla. This port would easilypair with charcuterie andcheese or a decadent dessert.
While the Pragers sourcefruit throughout Napa Valleythey have also planted thetraditional Portuguesevarietals of Tinta Roriz, TintaCao and Touriga in Calistoga.This gives them theopportunity to add structure,depth and versatility to theirports. Prager Port is a blendedport produced from PetiteSirah grapes and theirPortuguese varietals. Thedepth and structure of thePetite Sirah compliments thesoft fruit notes of thePortuguese varieties, resultingin an age-worthy port withmany layers of flavors.
The 2009 Aria White Portis made from 100%Chardonnay grapes and thenaged in oak barrels for threeyears. This port is what I useto make a classic Portugueseapéritif that is crisp andrefreshing any time of theyear. It also makes an idealcocktail to start your partyand pairs well with seafoodand a variety of horsd’oeuvres.
They also offer ChocolatePort Drizzle, which isdelicious over bread puddingor ice cream and port-filledchocolates both made withtheir Prager Port by Anette’sChocolates in Napa.

Buoncristiani Family WineryIs a collaboration of four brothers born into a wine-loving Italian family in the Napa
Valley. Every harvest the brothers worked alongside their dad in the small vineyards hetended, learning the craft of wine-making. These early hands-on experiences sparked adesire to create world-class wines. In 1999 the brothers founded Buoncristiani FamilyWinery and have been producing highly sought-after Napa Valley wines ever since.
Lobo – Wulff vineyardAbout 15 years ago, Randy and Krys Wulff were looking for retreat from the city and
bought their first home in the Napa Valley. In 2007 they found their dream property with42 acres on Atlas Peak. In June, 2013, their 2011 Chardonnay was awarded the Chairman’sTrophy at the Ultimate Wine Challenge in New York as the “Best of the Best” and numberone wine among Chardonnays from all over the world.
Patland estate vineyardsTwenty-five years ago, when Henry and Olga Patland, first came to Napa as a young
couple, they were smitten by the Valley and dreamed of having a winery. Today Henry andOlga, together with their three sons, and the exceptional talent of Jay Buoncristiani, havetaken Patland Estate Vineyards to a new level and continue to reach new heights.

May 24th marks the date of the famedParis Tasting, when the 1973 ChateauMontelena Chardonnay crafted by Miljenko“Mike” Grgich was the champion of the 1976Paris Tasting, beating the best of France andrevolutionizing the wine world. Thirty eightyears to the day, the Vintners Hall of Famelegend will release his Paris TastingCommemorative Chardonnay, with a portionof sales during this “Day for Peace” to benefitRoots of Peace.
Miljenko “Mike” Grgich first earned hisworld-wide recognition from the 1976 ParisTasting. He then partnered with Austin Hillsto open their family-owned-and-operatedwinery in 1977. To honor Grgich’s legacy, thewinery showcases its best Chardonnay vinesto create this limited-production winefeaturing a woodcut image of him on thelabel. The winery released the first vintage ofthe Paris Tasting CommemorativeChardonnay in 2013, which quickly sold out.
The public is invited to join Miljenko“Mike” Grgich and family at the winery tocelebrate the release of the newest vintage ofthis exceptional wine with an afternoondevoted to savoring delicious wines pairedwith small bites. The afternoon will alsofeature live music by jazz legend MikeMorris.
Grgich has been a long-time supporter ofRoots of Peace and its mission of replacinglandmines with grape vines in war-tornregions worldwide. In commemoration, the
winery will donate 5% of all purchasesduring this day for peace. Grgich’s homelandof Croatia suffered through the Balkan War,which left an estimated 1.3 millionlandmines and unexploded ordnancethroughout the country. Grgich first joinedHeidi Kuhn, Founder and CEO of Roots ofPeace, in 1998, to support Kuhn’s vision forplanting the roots of peace by turning MinesTo Vines on land formerly held hostage bythe terror of landmines. Grgich’s businesspartner, Austin Hills, has also supportedRoots of Peace by hosting fundraising eventsat his San Francisco and Napa Valley homes.In 2008, Roots of Peace presented Grgichwith the Global Citizen Award for hisleadership and unique contributions inraising landmine awareness around theglobe.
“Miljenko ‘Mike’ Grgich has left a lastingimpression upon my entire family,” saidKuhn. “All of us involved with the Roots ofPeace mission feel honored that at 91 yearsold, he continues to support our goal ofMines to Vines.” On the same day as therelease party, Kuhn will be in Bethlehem andPalestine, coinciding with the visit of HisHoliness Pope Francis, working to continuethe Roots of Peace mission in The HolyLand.

geYser PeAK WiNerYExciting changes are happening for Geyser Peak Winery this spring with their
relocation into the Dry Creek Valley appellation. After 134 years as one of AlexanderValley’s historic landmarks, the iconic winery has moved its tasting room and wineryoperations to a newly renovated facility on Westside Road, just minutes outsidedowntown Healdsburg.
The sprawling collection of Sonoma County chic barn-style buildings comprisethe “new” Geyser Peak Winery and include a large tasting room, winery offices andthe future production facility for their limited-release and winery-exclusives. Theproperty located off Kinley Road at Magnolia Drive sits on 70-acres of primeZinfandel grapes and is situated at the confluence of Dry Creek Valley and RussianRiver Valley appellations. Formerly known as Alderbrook Winery, it originallyhoused a prune dehydration operation in the early part of the century butunderwent a major renovation in the late 1980s. Today, the abundantly light-filledtasting room space is yet again undergoing minor upgrades to better align with therevamped brand identity Geyser Peak unveiled last Fall when they introduced newbottle labels, brand mark and the addition of several new varietal blends.
“The new Geyser Peak site is ideal from a winemaking perspective,” notedwinemaker Ondine Chattan. “I am excited about the small-lot, reserve-tierwinemaking it will afford us in the future.” We are delighted to have found a newhome for Geyser Peak that maintains its historic ties to northern Sonoma Countyand assures us a rightful sense of place well into the future.” We will continue withour same vineyard sources and are continually looking for opportunities toshowcase the diversity of terroir in our appellation bottlings.”
Best known for Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet wines, you will be greeted byfriendly Wine Educators in the Tasting Room who will guide you through variouswine tastings at the immense bar. The 30-foot-long and high Alderwood andSpanish quartz bar was expertly crafted by local a cabinet maker and commissionedto provide a stunning focal point to the space, as well as accommodate for increasedtasters in their new location.

Spring is here and Napa’s 2014 growing season has officiallybegun! To kick off the season and celebrate the vineyards awakeningfrom their winter slumber, one of Napa’s most innovative andadmired boutique wineries is hosting an event not to be missed.Mark your calendar for the 8th annual Springtime Bonanza hosted byJudd’s Hill Winery and MicroCrush! The party will take place at theirSilverado Trail winery on Sunday, May 4 from noon to 2:30 p.m., andis one in a series of events planned to celebrate their 25th anniversary.
The Springtime Bonanza is a benefit for the Napa Valley YouthSymphony, and if you’ve never attended a party at Judd’s Hill, wesuggest you make plans to be there and experience their relaxed andfriendly hospitality first hand. As with any Judd’s Hill party, it’s a goodidea to come ready to eat. Although it is a benefit for the Napa ValleyYouth Symphony, and musicians from the symphony will provideentertainment throughout, the real star of the show is the food. As inyears past, a world-class barbecue lunch will be prepared and served.Don’t expect dainty finger-foods and miserly appetizers here. Thegood people of Judd’s Hill knowhow to feed their fans. Tri-tip andribs, beans and cole slaw are allon the menu. During the event,new release wines such as theJudd’s Hill 2013 Rosé and 2013Sauvignon Blanc will also maketheir public debut. And nobarbecue at Judd’s Hill would becomplete without sampling their most popular 2012 Zinfandel,otherwise known as “Burke’s Blazing BBQ Zin.” This wine is craftedevery year with the express purpose of being the perfect wine to pairwith the food served at their Bonanza. Tickets are $55 per person,but for Judd’s Hill Wine Club members entry is absolutely free. You’llenjoy great wine, food, music and people, all for a good cause. Whatcould be better on a beautiful spring day?
If you happen to miss the party, you should call the winery andmake an appointment to visit their tasting room and newly expanded
tasting terrace, open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Their small-lot,hand-crafted wines are affordably price and produced in a food-friendly style, making them a popular choice among Napa Valleyrestaurants. With less than 3,000 cases produced annually, you arenot likely to find these wines outside of Napa.
In addition to throwing great parties, the folks at Judd’s Hill arebig fans of wine education. Guests who attend one of their dailyWine and Food in Balance seminars build wine and food pairingskills for life. These casual and fun seminars, led by a professionalwine educator, provide participants with all the skills needed toconfidently pair wine with their favorite foods. By understanding
the dominant features found indifferent wines and how theyare impacted by various foodflavors, a new level of food andwine pairing confidence isachieved by every participant inthis 90 minute wine and foodflavors tasting experience.

It is one of the fewplaces where wine enthusiasts can make a single barrel of their ownwine from either their own grapes or from grapes sourced by Judd’sHill.

Here guests craft their own cuvee using Bordeauxvarietal barrel samples and are led by a Judd’s Hill wine educator whoguides them towards their final blend, which is then bottled, corkedand labeled.

sArAH vANdeNdriessCHeat Elizabeth Spencer Winery in RutherfordBY MINDY JOYCE, WINERYCRITIC.COM
taking on a Legacy Job in the Napa valleyIf you’re in the tasting room at Elizabeth Spencer in Rutherford
you may just find winemaker Sarah Vandendriessche popping in to
say a quick hello. Sarah is a down to earth, hands-on winemaker
whose responsibilities go well beyond making wine. In fact, Sarah
spends a lot of time talking with growers and walking the vineyards
all over the Napa Valley, Sonoma and Mendocino Counties.
“It’s not just winemaking,” Sarah explained. “What we do is built
on trust of the people growing the grapes. I really believe in
relationships.”
What I soon learned is that by not owning land themselves,
Elizabeth Spencer relies on a network of growers from which they
source their premium grapes.
And, as winemaker, it’s a responsibility she doesn’t take lightly but
Sarah believes she is in the right place, at the right time.
“The honor of having the baton passed to me is wonderful,” she
said. “I feel lucky to be here now. Thirty years ago Napa was a very
different place.”
You may be surprised to learn that Sarah did not grow up in a
wine family in Napa, nor did she spend years studying winemaking
at UC Davis, instead, she has a refreshing and diverse background
ranging from working in restaurants, operating a gardening service,
and most interesting, she has a formal training in “systems biology”.
It turns out all of these things played a part in shaping her skills as a
winemaker. Prior to Elizabeth Spencer, Sarah spent time at White
Rock Vineyards, Stagecoach Vineyards and Krupp Brothers Estates.
She describes her decision to join Elizabeth Spencer in 2010 as a
“rare opportunity” and was attracted by the chance to work directly
with the owners, and diversify their range. They have since added
Grenache and Chenin Blanc to their range. “We are not just a
Cabernet house,” she added.
Together with owners Elizabeth Pressler and Spencer Graham, the
trio are immensely proud of their Rutherford location and the wines
they are producing. The winery produces a range of two labels; E x S
(a hearts and swords logo) and Elizabeth Spencer. Beyond the
Cabernets, which are wonderful, they also produce a Chenin Blanc
from Mendocino, a Grenache from Sonoma Coast and a Pinot Noir
also from Sonoma Coast.
All of the wines I tasted were elegant and accessible, showing
purity of flavor, true varietal character, and great balance. They are
wines of great intensity without excess weight.
You can join sarah and the elizabeth spencer team at their rosé release Party on April 26.
Check out elizabethspencerwines.com for more information.

BY DENISE OLLIffEOld Faithful Geyser of California is undergoing major
refurbishments to prepare for a busy tourist season. A popular NapaValley landmark since the 1970s, the geyser has long been a spotwhere visitors could stop by to watch one of only three geothermalgeysers dubbed “old faithful” in the world – attracting more than100,000 visitors per year. However the renovations under way willsoon make Old Faithful Geyser of California a complete destinationof itself that the entire family can enjoy.
Acquired over a year ago by Calistoga Enterprises LLC, OldFaithful Geyser of California has been given a mindful brandingoverhaul, respecting the historic attributes of the site, and honoringthe hard work and dedication previous owner Olga Kolbek had givento the property since the 1970s when she and her husband firstbought the land and opened the geyser to the viewing public.
Part of the property renovations has been the installation of OldFaithful Gardens. It’s a massive circular garden area where more than600 plants have recently been bedded, including trees that will oneday provide lofty shade to sit under. The focal point of the garden is acascading geothermal mineral water fountain – making the gardenone of the only spots where visitors can touch the therapeutic localmineral waters, other than checking into a nearby Calistoga spa –highly recommended.
Cohesive, educational information boards have been placedthroughout the property allowing visitors to take self-guided readingtours learning interesting facts about the geyser and its surroundings.The Old Faithful Museum will be opening May 2014 and will presentan enrichment opportunity to learn facts about the earth we standon, an explanation of geyser activity, volcanoes, earthquakes, andmuch more.
Slated for completion by end of May 2014, there will be newtables with elegant umbrellas sponsored by local wineries wherevisitors can sit and picnic, as well as outdoor fire pit areas to enjoyevenings under the stars. The garden, grounds and geyser will also behighlighted at night with accent lighting to illuminate the featuresand extend visiting hours until 10 p.m.
There are several more features being planned for the property,including an Old Faithful Culinary Gardens, Old FaithfulGreenhouse, Old Faithful Treehouse, bike trail and much more.
Visitors can still see charming farm animals on the property,however the area has been restored and turned into an interactivepetting zoo with information boards about the variety of animalsliving on the farm and food pellets to hand-feed them.
The grounds also serve as a natural habitat surrounded byconcentrated walls of bamboo and lofty palm trees (the geysers oftenshoot water as high as the palms). The park-like setting attracts avariety of bird species throughout the year. If you look closely, youcan even see small cobalt blue zebra fish swimming in the naturalpond waters surrounding the geyser – interesting considering thehighly concentrated minerals found at the site – the fish apparentlythrive there.
While visiting, be sure to peek around the gift shop which has avariety of souvenirs, quick snacks, ice cream bars which are pleasanton hot Calistoga days, maps of other local attractions as well asinformative staff happy to provide you with insight about the facility.
Old Faithful Geyser of California is located on the north end of theNapa Valley at 1299 Tubbs Lane, Calistoga. The park is open sevendays a week 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. during spring. Admission is $14 foradults, $8 for kids age six to 12 (children under age six are free) and$12 for military or seniors. For information, call (707) 942-6463.

BY CHARLES NEAVEBennett Lane Winery in Calistoga was started by Randy and Lisa
Lynch and, while it is surrounded by vineyards in NorthernCalifornia, it has its roots in Europe, where they first discovered theirlove of fine wine and the relationship between wine and food.
When they decided to pursue their passion for wine, they foundland where the topography, geography, soil and climate form a uniquespot to grow grapes. Vines, particularly Cabernet, thrive here.
Today, this small winery has its label on almost three dozen winesscoring 90+ in just seven vintages. For a winery this size that isamazing. Maximus Red Feasting Wine best shows the results of theirconstant effort to create great wine. Crafted in limited amounts fromCabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, it was an immediate hit.
In addition to red Maximus, they also produce a Maximus WhiteFeasting Wine, Reserve Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and adessert wine.
The winery also has a hot air balloon to take guests aloft for aspectacular view of wine country. All part of the special Bennett Laneexperience.

‘not your mother’s Rummage sale’may 17-18 in napa valley
Travelers to the Napa Valley this spring should mark theircalendars for Saturday and Sunday, May 17-18, for the 14thannual Rummage and Estate Sale, raising funds for orphans inRussia and Uganda.
The sale features high-end items donated by the St. Helenacommunity through Grace Episcopal Church, where more than135 volunteers will run the charity event.
“It’s Not Your Mother’s Rummage Sale” is the unofficial title ofthe sale because so many of the donated items are classy, one-of-a-kind treasures that brought in more than $50,000 last year.
Located at the corner of Spring and Oak streets, the annualsale is open each day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is no charge,except the charge you will get from finding the item you didn’teven know you needed or wanted.
For more information, contact Norm Manzer [email protected].

BALLetto viNeYArds & WiNerYBY SUE STRAIGHT, THE WINE WENCH®
Balletto Vineyards & Winery is conveniently located on the outskirts of Santa Rosaand the perfect stop as you wend your way through the Russian River Valley. Why? Thestaff is friendly, engaging and knowledgeable, the Balletto family are great people, thesurroundings are beautiful and the wines are wonderful and reasonably priced (more onthat later).
The tasting room and winery are housed in a large warehouse-like building, butonce you are inside the tasting room, it feels like you are inside a Tuscan villa. Thewalls are painted warm mustard gold and a long concrete bar spans one side of theroom. A tasteful selection of wine-related gifts is displayed around the room. There is alarge covered picnic area in front of the building, complete with burbling fountain andseveral wrought iron tables and chairs. You’ll want to pick up a bottle or six and relaxand stay a while.
The Balletto family owns over 600 acres of vineyards in the Russian River Valley, whichthey farm using sustainable methods. This family is all about the land and giving back!
In 2002, the Balletto family worked with Sonoma County’s Agriculture Preservation

& Open Space District and generously donated a portion of theirestate (the winery’s western boundary) to the Laguna de Santa Rosa.This vast wetland habitat and major tributary of the Russian River ishome to numerous species of birds and animals. It is a local treasure– it is open to the public and offers miles of beautiful hiking andbiking trails.
Along with preserving natural habitats, the Balletto family’saltruistic tendencies also include their staff – they may be the onlywinery with a regulation-sized baseball diamond on the property,built because the vineyard crew asked John Balletto to sponsor theirbaseball league. John not only sponsored the league, he custombuilt a “field of dreams” for them. Games are on Sundays during
spring and summer. Let’s talk about the wines from Balletto Vineyards & Winery –
their first commercial vintage was in 2001. Now, over a decade later,the wines of Balletto are still going strong – consistently garneringgood press and winning multiple medals.
I tasted a handful of wines during my visit and loved them all. Thefollowing wines were my favorites:• 2012 Gewürztraminer ($18): This dry, crisp, aromatic white wine
is entirely far too easy to drink! Mouthwatering aromas of exoticspices, fruits and flowers lead into a crisp, refreshing mouthful ofconsistent flavors. A vacation in a glass!
• 2011 Sexton Vineyard Pinot Noir ($42): In a word, gorgeous!Aromas of black cherry, blackberry, rose petal and baking spicescontinue as flavors in the silky, sexy mouth. Long, luscious finish.Don’t miss a visit to Balletto Vineyards & Winery!

vJB vineyards and cellarsPurchases Wellington vineyards
As of March 24th, the Belmonte family of VJB Vineyards andCellars took over management of Wellington Vineyards’s 21+ acres ofvineyards and production facility.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Henry Belmonte.“It gives us a dedicated, sophisticated production facility, which helpsus complete our vision for what we want VJB Vineyards & Cellars tobe.” For the past several years, VJB has housed its wine production ina South Santa Rosa warehouse,but will move all of its production tothe Wellington property for the 2014 harvest.
“The location and layout of the land and the proximity to ourcurrent location (in Kenwood) make it ideal for us,” said Henry’sfather, Vittorio Belmonte.
The purchase of the Wellington brand also allows VJB, whichspecializes in Italian varietals, to extend its passion for winemakingto other varietals which are grown on the Wellington property. VJB has plans to produce a Bordeaux-type blend as well as singlevineyard Zinfandels from blocks that are more than 100 years oldunder the Wellington label which will be available exclusivelythrough direct-to-consumer sales.
Wellington Vineyard’s former owner, Peter Wellington, willcontinue to run the tasting room and will retain control of its currentinventory as part of a two year lease agreement.

On Saturday, March 15 George Rodrigue Studio in Carmel(west side of Dolores between Ocean and 7th) re-opened with amemorial retrospective of the artist’s work. The retrospective willbe on view at the gallery through 2014.
“Dad always said that when he was in art school at Art Centerin Los Angeles in the 1960s he dreamed of opening a gallery inCarmel. He realized his dream over 20 years ago and he loved tolive and paint at his home in Carmel Valley,” says JacquesRodrigue. “My family and I are excited to be able to share thisshow with the area that was so important to him and for the firsttime display works in our gallery from his entire career.”
The retrospective will include works of art and ephemeraspanning Rodrigue’s illustrious career and life focusing on histime in California. The Rodrigue family and Bullard have curatedan unparalleled survey of Los Angeles Art Center art schoolworks, early Louisiana landscapes, Cajun portraits, iconic BlueDogs, paintings completed in California, and personalmemorabilia from George Rodrigue’s home and studio inCarmel.
“With the death of George Rodrigue, our state and nationhave lost one of its most unique, popular and memorable visualartists. For nearly fifty years he created an extraordinary body ofwork that captured the special qualities of Louisiana’s Cajunculture, bringing national and international recognition to hisheritage and to himself,” said E. John Bullard, Director Emeritusof the New Orleans Museum of Art who co-curated the exhibitwith the Rodrigue family.
The Rodrigue Gallery in Carmel is open Monday throughSaturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. The Rodrigue family has released a limited number ofprints and mixed media works for sale through the gallery.

WCtW: What’s your favorite local restaurant and what do you like to order?Js: My favorite restaurant is KIN in Windsor. When I go there, I get the Purist Pizza. The pizza is
based on a recipe from Lombardi’s in New York, which is one of the oldest pizzerias inAmerica. The pizza is very simple. It uses freshly sliced mozzarella cheese (not shredded),homemade sauce and fresh basil. While the ingredients are basic, the flavors are intense andvery pleasurable.
WCtW: If you are meeting a friend for cocktails, where do you go? Js: I like to go to Jack and Tony’s in Railroad Square (Santa Rosa). They have a great happy hour
and I love the atmosphere.WCtW: What do you do for fun?
Js: If I am not playing with my kids, I try to play as much golf a possible. My favorite course inSonoma County is Fountaingrove Golf Club.
WCtW: Where’s the best place to relax in Wine Country? Js: I would have to say spending Thursday nights in the summer at the Windsor Town Green is
great. We meet up with all of our friends and family, listen to live music, talk, eat and hang out.WCtW: What’s your favorite meal and bottle of wine to enjoy at home?
Js: I really enjoy barbecuing on my deck, while my kids are running around having fun. Typicallywe are grilling hamburgers. I like to drink our Rodney Strong Dry Creek Zinfandel with them.I think it is a great pairing.
WCtW: What other places do you like to “hang out?” Js: I love going out to lunch at Wurst in Healdsburg. They have great hot dogs, which I love.
I also like going to Spring Lake and taking a walk, or visiting Keiser Park playground inWindsor. These are great places to hang out with my family, and we all enjoy it.
WCtW: What’s an interesting fact that most people don’t know about you? Js: I love to build things out of wood. I started out with a farmhouse dining room table and a
doll house for my daughter. Now, I am planning to build another table out of old redwoodtank staves. I like working with my hands and seeing my project come to life. It is also one ofthe reasons I love to make wine. Seeing the process from start to finish fascinates me.

WCtW: What’s your favorite local restaurant and what do you like to order? rM: It’s a toss-up between Ume Japanese Bistro where I would order the Hamachi Collar and
the Old Redwood Roll or the Russian River Pub – I can go in there during harvest coveredin grape juice and relax with a beer and a burger.
WCtW: Where do you go for coffee and a pastry? rM: Wherever the wife takes me – she’s the one drinking the coffee. Probably the Flying Goat,
Parish Café or Chloe’s French Café.WCtW: If you are meeting a friend for cocktails, where do you go?

rM: I taught math for 26 years.ABout: Rick Moshin’s fascination with fermentation began with homemade beer, but he soon turned hisattention to wine. A former San Jose State University math instructor, Rick made prudent use of his mathskills to design a four-tier gravity flow winery for small-lot wine production at Moshin Vineyards.Acquiring a vineyard was a dream that became a reality for him in 1989 when he and his family decidedto purchase a 10-acre Pinot Noir vineyard in Sonoma County. His goal for producing the highest qualitywines inspired him to grow this endeavor into a full-fledged winery.

Up close and personal with rockstar winemakers BY ALeXANdrA CHArsLeY
ABout: Justin Seidenfeld’s winemaking career began in 2005 when he was an intern at Iron Horse Winery. There, the regular work of the cellar kickedoff a quick rise in winemaking responsibilities that landed him a job at the venerable Robert Mondavi Winery. In 2006, Justin graduated from theUniversity of California, Davis with a B.S. in Viticulture & Enology. He began working for Rodney Strong in the spring of 2010 and works alongsideveteran winemaker, Rick Sayre, in the winery’s main cellar. As to his inspiration to become a winemaker, Justin notes, “People recalling the occasions thatwine makes better and memorable is the reason I make wine. Hearing about how and when someone enjoyed a wine I made inspires me.”
