  • California's Trailblazing Women Winemakers
    California’s Trailblazing Women Winemakers: The First Twenty Years (1965 through 1984) Researched and Written by Professors Lucia and John Gilbert1 Santa Clara University 2017 ***DO NOT CITE OR QUOTE WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING SOURCE*** Seated from left to right are Zelma Long, Carol Shelton, Eileen Crane, and Mia Klein. Photograph provided courtesy of Women for WineSense, Napa/Sonoma Chapter. Christine Mueller, former president of the chapter, and Kerry Kirkham in second row. Women and men alike have long been involved in the production of wine in California, but historically few women were known as winemakers. In 2012, when we began our project on California Women Winemakers , a key goal was to identify the state’s women winemakers and illuminate their contributions to the wine industry. Through our research we learned that of California’s 4000+ wineries today, some 10 to 12% have lead winemakers who are women, many of whom appear on our website. Here we focus on the trailblazers— the women who have led the way to women’s more significant presence among California winemakers today. Our article identifies 50 trailblazing women who entered the winemaking field between 1965, the year of the first female graduate of a premiere enology program in California, and 1984, some twenty years later. We organized these path-breaking women into three time periods that were quite different in the opportunities they offered: 1965 through 1974, 1975 through 1979, and 1980 through 1984. The women were identified through conversations with long-time California winemakers and faculty members at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), available data from UC Davis and Wines & Vines, and books on the wine industry (e.g., Heimoff, 2008, Laube, 1999; Matasar, 2006).

There are instructive seminars given by the winegrower icons of Pinot Noir from all over the world. No continuing education credit is offered, but attendees take these sessions very seriously. Of course the tasting of Pinot Noir is de rigueur at these symposia. Scoring and judging of Pinot Noir is strictly forbidden. This is, after all, a celebration of the endless variations and all that is magical about Pinot Noir. The event is essentially a triathlon and attendees need to be in their best spitting mode to survive the three day bacchanal. Many devotees gather on Thursday night (see report on the Chapel of Bourgogne to follow) to warm-up their palates. Friday is devoted to seminars, lunch with more Pinot, afternoon walk-around tastings with 129 Pinot Noir producers (pouring their current offerings and often many special library wines) and an evening Gala Dinner & Celebration at which Pinot flows like water. The next day, Saturday, offers a similar menu including a special tasting with a featured Domaine from Burgundy.

  • Hyde Park Wine Experiences and Culinary Adventures
    Hyde Park Wine Experiences and Culinary Adventures Now that winter is almost behind us and spring is only a few months away, we need to begin to focus on wines that show depth, yet are soft and vibrant. We will look at several price points of Merlot and find one that is good for your taste. As you may know, Merlot is a good varietal that blends very nicely with almost any kind of meal. Spanish wines are now in demand, and I have four good recommendations for you to try. Are you ready to set up a wine cellar at home? I have a few suggestions to help you get started. We will explore the mystery of Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay. Buying opportunities are a plus with it comes to boutique wines. We will list a few of these gems to buy now. Plus, we will answer some good member wine questions and look at upcoming events at your club . A LOOK AT MERLOT Merlots can really add life to a meal. To pick out the perfect bottle, one needs to research, taste if possible, and look up some information on the internet before making the final purchase. Merlots are all different in style and taste. Inexpensive Merlots are generally soft and supple, easy to drink, and sometimes a bit on the watery side. The medium-priced Merlots spend more time in the barrel and pick up more spicy flavors. They are full-bodied with deep, dark fruit showing vanilla and mocha flavors. High end Merlots are aged in the French barrels for twelve to fourteen months.

  • Pinotfile Vol 8 Issue 20
    Pinot Noir has a Mind of its Own Volume 8, Issue 20 August 24, 2010 Romancing the Dijon Clones All Pinot Noir clones planted in North American originally came from France. In the early 1970s, three Pinot Noir clones were available from University of California at Davis: Pommard (UCD 4 and 5), Wädenswil and a third minor clone mislabeled as Gamay Beaujolais.According to Jason Lett of The Eyrie Vineyards, the Wädenswil clone was a selection done by the Swiss Federal Research Station in Wädenswil, Switzerland in the 1950s from ancient clones brought to the Zurich area by Swiss mercenaries who fought for the King of France in the Burgundian Wars of the 1470s. The Wädenswil clone was selected for its excellent ripening in a cool climate and natural disease resistance, qualities that contributed to its success in Oregon. David Lett brought a carload of Wädenswil 1A clone cuttings from the University of California at Davis to Oregon in 1965. Pommard clone UCD 5 was introduced to Oregon by Dick Erath and Charles Coury as part of their joint nursery venture in the early 1970s. The Pommard clone was originally sourced from the Château de Pommard in Burgundy by Dr. Harold Olmo at University of California at Davis’ Department of Viticulture and Enology. The Pommard vines that Coury sold from his nursery became known as the Coury clone. The story is complicated by the fact that some of the so-called Coury clones were Pommard clones smuggled into Oregon from France in the 1960s and 1970s and produced a slightly different flavor profile.
