  • The Merlot Magician
    modern winemaking and now, with his Aquila Sangiovese, he had done it again. The story wasn’t there in the Chronicle’s wine section that morning; instead, a front-page head- line caught his attention, announcing that a huge fire had destroyed $100 million worth of wine in a warehouse on Mare Island, California. Thackrey had nearly all his wine, some 4,000 cases, stored in a warehouse on Mare Island called Wines Central and his first thought was reflex denial: ‘Hmm, I didn’t know there was another wine stor- age warehouse on Mare Island.’ He clicked open the story. The warehouse was indeed Wines Central and it had been burning since 3.30 the previous afternoon. Despite the efforts of 120 firefighters, 21 fire engines and 12 aircraft, the fire was still sending up a 700ft plume of smoke into the sky. ‘My reaction then was a fairly basic “Oh shit”,’ Thackrey says. ‘Outside of that warehouse I had barely enough wine left to drink myself into the grave. On the other hand I knew that building and I thought some of my wine might survive a fire there. It was a vast, vast military fortress built of reinforced concrete and steel and only one part of it was wood, so I knew it wasn’t going to burn to the ground. There was also no question in my mind that it was arson.’ The first call he made was to his insurance broker. He left a message saying they would have to file a claim, possibly a very large claim.

  • Pinotfile Volume 5, Issue 39 the First Wine Newsletter Devoted to Pinotaficionados June 12, 2006
    Pinot Noir makes for an elusive kind of romance PinotFile Volume 5, Issue 39 The First Wine Newsletter Devoted to Pinotaficionados June 12, 2006 Inside this issue: Kalin Cellars: Wines with the Fifth Taste Marin County Pinot 3 Microbiologists Dr. Terrence (Terry) Leighton and Dr. Frances Leighton founded Noir Celebration Kalin Cellars in Marin County in 1977. Through the ensuing years they have Wine Closure 6 labored in obscurity to produce some of the greatest California wines that only Dichotomy wine critics and wine geeks have heard of. The eccentric couple avoid publicity Rivers-Marie 7 and photos at all cost. I have been intrigued by their wines for years because of their unique character, age ability and individuality. MacMurray Ranch 8 Monterey Winemak- 9 The origin of the name Kalin is a mystery, but some pertinent background infor- ers’ Celebration mation is available. Terry Leighton was a distinguished microbiology professor at the University of California Berkeley until retiring in 2000. He was the original Gina Da Pinot 9 winemaker at Domaine Laurier in the 1970s prior to starting his own label. The wines at Kalin Cellars are all single vintage, single vineyard distinctive wines. The Leightons own no vineyards but source grapes from long standing agree- ments with top growers outside of Marin County . An exception was the use of Pinot Noir grapes from Devil’s Gulch Vineyard (farmed by Mark Pasternak) in Marin in 1987 and 1988. The Leightons produced sparkling rosés in those two vintages that are legendary among wine enthusiasts. The Leightons do farm portions of two vineyards in Burgundy, where they make a small amount of “Kalin Bourgogne” which I believe has not yet been sold commercially.

  • Drinking California Pinot Noir History from “Old Vine” Vineyards: a Bucket List
    If you drink no Noir, you Pinot Noir Volume 12, Issue 8 August 19, 2020 Drinking California Pinot Noir History from “Old Vine” Vineyards: A Bucket List “Vine age is the key to balance. There’s no substitute for vine age.” Ted Lemon, Littorai There is no consensus or legal definition of “old vine” Pinot Noir. Wikipedia states, “In a place where wine production is longstanding, it often means a wine whose vines are thirty to forty years old.” I have used forty years (1980) as the cut-off for my California old vine Pinot Noir bucket list. Some would consider these “mature” vines only, insisting that the term “old” be reserved for vines older than this such as 125-year-old Zinfandel vines in California that are still bearing small amounts of fruit. Hanzell 1953 Ambassador’s Vineyard Pinot Noir Vine The term “old-vine” has created debate for years in the wine industry. Most winemakers believe the terminology should be defined and regulated. Some choose to define “old-vine” as a minimum of 20 years and others prefer 50 years as a minimum. There are also disagreements about the percentage of grapes that should be required in a wine labeled “old-vine.” Some winemakers would agree that “old-vine” grapes should make up at least 85% of the grapes contained in a wine sold as “old-vine,” and others demand that 95% of the grapes be from “old-vine” sources. There are variances to consider among different varietals as well. For example, Pinot Noir vineyards over 20 years are considered old, yet Zinfandel from a 20 year-old vineyard would not be labeled “old-vine.” The issue of “old-vines” results from the perception by many consumers who consider “old-vine” wines better.
