pOpE vALLEY WiNERY Turn left and go back 100 years Along a winding country road, up an unpaved drive and past Gus, a big, friendly, chocolate lab, you’ll find one of the most unpretentious, down-to-earth tasting rooms around. The Pope Valley, one of the California wine region’s hidden treasures, is home to the Pope Valley Winery. This serene, bucolic setting offers a wine tasting experience far, far away from the ostentatious fare to be found at some of the more well-known wine country destinations. Here, you will be treated less like a visitor and more like a friend. To reach the Pope Valley Winery requires a leisurely country drive that is, in itself, a significant part of the experience. Winding through picturesque fields, undulating vineyards and oak- studded hills, one gets the feeling of being transported back in time. The pace here is slower, more peaceful than the flurry and commotion found along the main thoroughfares of the Napa Valley. Photo opportunities present themselves around every bend in the road. A visit to Pope Valley Winery allows wine lovers to step back in time and experience 40 acres of history. The bubbling sounds of Haus Creek can be heard as you roam the grounds of this historic winery. The original farmhouse still graces the property, as well as a blacksmith’s workshop, complete with the tools of the trade. The winery itself is housed in a historic building that was designed; before electricity was brought to the site. It was fashioned as a three-story POPE VALLEY WINERY gravitational flow winery with a hand-dug cave, to allow the wine to flow from Open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. crusher, to press, to barrel. 6613 Pope Valley Road, Pope Valley, CA 94567 The Pope Valley Winery was founded in 1897 by Ed Haus as Burgundy (707) 965-1246 | www.popevalleywinery.com Winery & Olive Oil Factory. A century later in 1997, the Eakle family, purchased the historic winery and gave it a new life as Pope Valley Winery.

BERiNgER viNEYARdS BY ALEXANDRA CHARSLEY Beringer Vineyards holds the distinction of being the oldest continuously operating winery in the Napa Valley. This historic estate has to be one of my favorite visits while in St. Helena as the architecture is the vision of fairytales. It is also one of the very few wineries that survived prohibition and in 2001 the entire winery estate was designated a Historic District on the National Register for Historic Places. With its perfect blend of modern technology and age-old traditions, Beringer Vineyards still produces memorable wines that continue to bring recognition to the company and all of Napa Valley. Beringer Vineyards was founded in 1876 by two brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer. Traveling from Germany, they found Napa Valley to contain rocky, well- drained soils similar to those in their native Rhine Valley. The volcanic soil was ideal for growing the same grapes found in Europe’s great winemaking regions. Best of all, the hills could be dug out to provide storage and aging tunnels that would maintain the BERINGER VINEYARDS constant temperature needed to produce fine wines. Jacob and Frederick together Hours are May 29 - October 22 daily 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. bought land in 1875 and set about making wines that compared to the best in Europe. October 23 - May 29 daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Even today, the average 58°F temperature inside the tunnels makes them the ideal place 2000 Main Street, Saint Helena, CA 94574 for Beringer Vineyards to age fine wines and the newly restored Old Stone Winery, a 1-866-708-9463 | www.beringer.com popular focus for visitors, marks the entrance to this cool, subterranean world. The Hudson House, Jacob’s former residence has been restored and expanded and now serves today as Beringer Vineyards’ Culinary Arts Center. The Rhine House, Frederick’s former residence is a re-creation of the Beringer Family home located on the Rhine River in Germany. This ornate Victorian classic is the center of Beringer’s reserve and library tastings. It is a place where guests can enjoy a glass of wine while relaxing in the old library or on the same porch that Frederick once sat, overlooking the expansive lawns, lush gardens, and out across the Napa Valley. Tasting wine is undoubtedly one of the big attractions of Napa Valley and their historic estate offers several tasting rooms where you can sample an unparalleled selection of wines and learn more about winemaking. Taste Beringer Reserve and Limited Production Wines at the Reserve Tasting Bar in

Guests will enjoy tasting a white wine at the bar in the caves and a red wine at the bar in the Old Winery gift shop. Tour costs $25 per person; all ages are welcome. Tour is given about eight times a day. Taste of Beringer: Learn about the Napa Valley, Beringer Family history and how to taste wine like a professional.

TASTiNg ROOm OF THE WEEK ANdRETTi WiNERY Where Exciting Options Await at Any Speed BY JOSH STEIN Andretti Winery is minutes from the city of Napa, but you’ve got to know where to look to find it – which makes the arrival all the better! The winery was founded in 1996 when legendary race car driver Mario Andretti and his friend, Joseph Antonini, former Chairman, President and CEO of Kmart Corporation, brought their shared love of Mediterranean cuisine, lifestyles and wines to the Napa Valley’s Oak Knoll District, selected because its location just north of the city of Napa provides moderating ocean Mario Andretti in the winery tasting room breezes and weather, cooling the heat of long summer days and prolonging harvest, allowing for more complexity in the resulting wines. Well-known winemaker Bob Pepi has been involved since the beginning in designing the winery to create the best expressions of food-friendly releases from the surrounding forty-two acres. Creating wines which go well with food means approaching the vineyard and winemaking with an eye towards acid levels: “You want the fruit to shine forth,” remarks Bob. “And when you have that crispness from the acidity, it really makes the wines go well with food.” This also means working with vineyards in the mid-Valley so that higher alcohols and their deleterious effects on food-and-wine matches are kept at bay. The award-winning “Cal- Ital” wines have not disappointed, and given the wide range of wines Bob makes for Andretti Winery, there’s something for everyone. Indeed, most would be hard pressed not to find something to their liking in the Andretti releases. The team has thoughtfully produced multiple “families” of wines, with specific varietals and source locations for each, matching lifestyles and wine, not just cuisine as many claim to do but actually considering the way in which wine is incorporated into different lanes of life. The Montona Reserve are all estate releases, including Reserve Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Napa Valley Series provides wines from the full range of the Valley’s locations and includes Cabernet, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah and a Cal-Ital Zinfandel-Primitivo blend. As if that weren’t enough, the California Selections, as its name implies, goes further afield to produce “La Dolce Vita” wines for everyday enjoyment, and the Villa ANDRETTI WINERY Andretti Wines offer small production bottlings of rare-for-Napa varietals: Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dolcetto, Moscato and Riesling. 4162 Big Ranch Road, Napa, CA 94558 As might be expected given the founders’ passions, the winery estate’s (707) 259-6777 | www.andrettiwinery.com. forty-two acres, on often-mistakenly-overlooked Big Ranch Road conveniently just beyond the city’s limits at the very start of “wine country,” immediately brings to mind the relaxation of the Aegean. A mini village awaits, accompanied by Cypress and vinesand a total feeling of isolation from the rest of the Valley. Walk-ins are perfectly welcome, but many of the winery’s best offerings require reservations; give them a call and they will not disappoint. The range of options shows again the team’s emphasis on the guest’s enjoyment: for those wanting an experience for a larger group, private tours and tastings, vineyard tours, private events for ten to 250 in the villa and

Located smack-dab in the middle of the Napa Valley is a comfortable, friendly place that offers great wines, an awesome gift shop, knowledgeable, helpful staff and picnic grounds, too! This place is home to Napa Cellars and Ménage à Trois! The grounds are beautifully landscaped – mounds of lavender and assorted colorful flowers delight the eye and nose and a fountain (which is actually their sign – how cool is that?) burbles away merrily, delighting the ears. Around back is a grassy, tree-shaded picnic area, where visitors are invited to kick off their shoes and relax a while. The visitor’s center is a geodesic dome, with a pentagon shaped tasting bar set up in the middle of the room, so visitors have lots of space to belly up to the bar. Directly above the bar, in the center of the room, a grape motif stained glass window shines a rainbow of color down on the happy scene. A marble topped bar against one wall is used for overflow on busy days, and because of its prime location, this visitors center can get very busy at times. Not to worry, though, the well-trained staff easily handles busy times. They are friendly and knowledgeable and love gently educating their guests about all things wine. displayed around the room on upended There is an impressive array of non-wine barrels and custom display racks. gift items, including logoed T-shirts, hats, The wines here are very good and reason- glassware, oils and dipping sauces (samples ably priced.

Rich and complex in the mouth, with a long, delicious finish. Napa Cellars Zinfandel, Napa Valley: This Zin is spicy, sassy and absolutely enjoyable! It’s what my wine-judging buddies and I call a “berry bomb.” Blackberry, raspberry and strawberry aromas and flavors abound, enhanced by lots of peppery spice. It is bright and juicy in the mouth, with a mouthwatering finish. You’re going to want another sip… Napa Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon, Stagecoach Vineyard: In a word, delicious! Mouthwatering aromas of black cherry blackcurrant, mocha, rose petals and spice box continue as flavors in the velvety, decadently rich mouth. The visitors center for Napa Cellars and Ménage à Trois, located at 7481 St. Helena Hwy, Oakville, CA is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, call 1-800-535-6400 or visit their website at www.napacellars.com or www.menageatroiswines.com.

WiNE COuNTRY NEWS | WiNE COuNTRY THiS WEEK ZD Wines – Four Decades of Organic Excellence BY JOSH STEIN ZD has been doing things the right way for more than four decades, and over the years they have never lost sight of the importance of being good stewards of the land. Long before Napa became world famous, wine country had its intrinsic appeals: a slow pace of gradual movement, an appreciation for the valley’s environs, and working with and not against nature. That feeling of connectedness has been the cornerstone of ZD’s success and that same attitude certainly shines through in their wine tasting experiences. Whether you’re tromping around their organic vineyard during the Eco Tour or overlooking Rutherford’s famous vineyards during the Vineyard View Tour, you will find yourself with a deeper appreciation of organic winegrowing and the attention to detail it takes to make world-class wine. ZD prides itself as an eco-friendly winery, and equally a winery that produces world-class wine. They do a great job connecting the relationship between healthy, balanced grapevines to the quality of wine in the bottle. visitors several current vintage and reserve wines with a private guided Take ZD’s Eco Tour and you’ll learn all about the great lengths taken to tour through the cellar and a sampling of soon to be released wine produce flavorful grapes in a way that is symbiotic with nature.

From and tasting experiences to choose from, like the Cellar Tour, which offers there, you can see the entire property as you enjoy the wines complemented by artisan cheeses and finished with a decadent chocolate truffle. All tours require an appointment. ZD also offers daily tastings, just drop by their Rutherford winery on the Silverado Trail between 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. They offer a tasting of current wines and a reserve tasting with selections from the library. ZD Wines was founded by two aerospace engineers involved in the 1960s space race, Norman deLeuze and partner Gino Zepponi. The “ZD” in ZD Wines has two meanings: the obvious, the initials of the partners, and the inspirational – “Zero Defects,” a quality-control program used to build rocket engines. With a love of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, they set out to make their favorite Burgundian wines. They received their winery permit in 1969, the first new permit issued in decades, and subsequently fell in love with the Carneros grape growing region where the first ZD wines were produced. It was the beginning of a journey that had included three-generations. ZD produces more than excellent Cabernet, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, they also produce special winery-only bottlings, known as the Rosa Lee “Whims,” including, at various times, releases of Barbera, Malbec, Muscat Canelli, Mourvèdre, Petit Sirah, Pinot Grigio, Riesling and Viognier – the newest is a delicious and not-to-be-missed Grenache Rosé. Perhaps the wine most symbolic of ZD’s approach to sustainable winegrowing is its Founder’s Reserve Pinot Noir, made from the grapes off of its organic estate vineyard in the Carneros region. This wine is a tribute to Norman, who was the motivational force behind ZD’s philosophy of eco-friendly business practices and organic farming. Its flagship wine, Abacus, is the ultimate Cabernet Sauvignon, combining the best qualities of an aged wine with the best of a youthful wine, together in one sumptuous mouthful. Incredible depth and complexity along with a deep, lingering finish are backed by an intense

Cyrot brings to CADE a diversity of winemaking experience. Having grown up with a French father with whom she took annual trips to France, Cyrot was exposed to the winemaking history of her family from a young age. Her great-grandfather was the last in a long line of ancestors who owned the Cyrot vineyard in Burgundy’s prestigious Côte de Beaune. After losing his eldest son in World War I, he donated the land to the Hospices de Beaune (a Cyrot cuvée is still sold at the renowned charity auction each year). Cyrot had no plans to carry on her family’s winemaking legacy when she enrolled at the University of California, Davis; however, that quickly changed when she took an introductory winemaking class and knew she had found her calling. While at Davis, Cyrot worked harvests at Schramsberg and Artesa in Napa Valley, learning the trade from the soil up. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in viticulture and enology, Cyrot worked abroad at wineries in Alsace, France and South Australia. Cyrot comes to CADE Estate Winery from St. Clement, where she was praised for crafting elegant, structured and balanced wines with refined tannins. Before taking on the role at St. Clement, Cyrot worked as an enologist and was then promoted to assistant winemaker at Stag’s Leap under her mentor, Robert Brittan. Conover, who is also a partner and the general manager of Odette Estate and the general manager of PlumpJack Winery, said, “We are the past 13 years will serve as great assets to the winery. We have very pleased to have found such a talented and dedicated winemaker every confidence that Danielle will uphold and enhance the commit- for CADE.

Having received its Gold LEED certification in 2009, CADE is the greenest winery estate in California. The name CADE derives from a Shakespearean term used for an oak cask or barrel. The estate comprises more than 54 acres, 21 of which were planted as vineyards in 2003.

Years of experimentation and a lot of broken glass later, he has perfected a true glass wave that has become the hallmark of his work. “Tranquility as produced by the gentle movement of a line calls to mind memories of spring breezes and summer shadows,” he says. “It is this same feeling, this calmness, that I seek to recreate in glass.” A native of Chicago, Zweifel now works from his studio in rural southern Wisconsin. As a successful entrepreneur he built and ran a large company. After its sale, he turned full- time to his hot glass work and opened near Elkhorn, Wisconsin to explore his vision in the medium. “Glass provides permanence, the ability to freeze a moment or movement in time so that it can be examined and explored,” Zweifel says of his work. “At the same time, I find in its very fragility, a metaphor for the fragility of our existence. Being able to freeze these moments in time, in such a delicate medium offers me an opportunity to create the tranquility that I find so comforting.” Largely self-taught, Zweifel feels fortunate to have worked with many successful artists in their studios and has attended the Pilchuck Glass School to further develop his skills. He has exhibited in juried shows across the the country and has won many awards for his work, including the William Zweifel “in studio” as he fires & forms his weaving prestigious NICHE Award in 2005, 2008 and 2011.

TASTiNg ROOm OF THE WEEK BALLETTO viNEYARdS Tours, Tours, Tours! BY MICHELLE J. BAKER Looking for a behind the scenes tour at a family-owned winery? Look no further than Balletto Vineyards, where you’ll find a daily tour at 11 a.m. as well as crush season walk-in tours from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on days that the winery is processing grapes. That’s a lot of touring opportunities at a small winery like Balletto, one of a very few producers of exclusively estate-grown, estate-bottled wines in the Russian River Valley. The winery is primarily known for Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir, but also produces Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Syrah and even a dessert wine made from Pinot Gris. The Balletto wine portfolio is most notable for its long list of awards and 90-plus point ratings combined with its affordable prices. John Balletto got his start in agriculture at the tender age of 17. He and his mother, Hazel, began farming produce after the sudden death of his father, and the business quickly grew. By the mid-1990s, the Ballettos were enjoying great success with their vegetable business. Then tough economic times hit, and the family decided to replant much of their vegetable land to vineyards. In 2001, the Ballettos had their first vintage, just over 600 cases of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Today, the family farms 600 acres of vineyards spread throughout the Russian River Valley. The winery keeps only a select 15% of the grapes, selling the rest off to 25 different wineries. This year they will be holding on to more Pinot Noir in order to fulfill the demand for a wine that sells out quickly every year. The daily 11 a.m. tours at Balletto are designed around whatever is happening in the cellar or in the vineyards. During harvest season, that usually includes a tour through the cellar plus a stroll in the 193- acre vineyard surrounding the winery (and often a walk past the “Field of Dreams,” a four-acre parcel the Ballettos turned into a baseball field for their vineyard workers). Plan your day so you stay after the tour to enjoy the winery’s BALLETTO VINEYARDS comfortable and shaded patio.

WiNEmAKER pROFiLE RiCK SAYRE Rodney Strong Vineyards BY SUE STRAIGHT, THE WINE WENCH

Rick Sayre is a hard-working, well-respected winemaker who has been working in Sonoma County’s wine industry since 1970. Along with his years of practical, hands-on experience, he possesses movie-star-quality easy charm and good looks (he will probably blush when he reads this about himself – he’s a humble man). Rick was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan and grew up in Southern California. He and his family moved to Sonoma County in 1966. Shortly thereafter, his parents bought a ten-acre prune ranch in Windsor, where Rick and his lovely wife Peggy still live today. When Rick was a teenager, both of his parents worked full-time (his mom was a schoolteacher and his dad was in construction), so Rick ran the ranch…and he hated it. Here’s a little-known factoid about Sonoma County’s agricultural history – back when Rick was tending the family ranch, school would be delayed for up to two weeks in the fall so the local kids could harvest prunes. What child labor laws? Even though Rick hated agriculture back then, it took root in his soul and he soon found himself working at Simi Winery in 1970, and loving it. During his years at Simi, he worked with MaryAnn Graf (the first American female winemaker), Zelma Long and winemaking legend André Tchelistcheff, who became Rick’s mentor. “André took as much pride in the people he trained as he took in his wines – I was fortunate to be one of those people,” Rick tells me with a shy smile. “It’s so important to be aware of everything,” Rick says. “André taught me that a winemaker must RODNEY STRONG VINEYARDS live with his wine; even the smallest details can have an effect.

That buzz has reached a crescendo now that VJB Vineyards and Cellars has officially opened its new tasting room and marketplace, offering visitors an authentic taste of Italy in the heart of the Sonoma Valley.

In the tasting room, guests can sample those wines as well as other Italian varietals such as the award-winning Barbera, Primitivo and VJB’s flagship wine called Dante – a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese – made in the tradition of a Super Tuscan wine. The marketplace features estate-grown olive oil, owner and Executive Chef Maria Belmonte’s homemade tomato sauces and pestos, plus a wide range of the very best VJB VINEYARDS & CELLARS imported Italian pantry items.

Italy, it is exactly what I want to do at this time in my life.” Situated on a hilltop at the entrance to the Sonoma Valley, Viansa is usually the first stop on many travelers’ tour of the wine county. With its distinctive Italian atmosphere and old world architecture, Viansa is a tribute to the early Italian immigrants who brought their winemaking traditions and in some cases, their grapes, to the Sonoma Valley many, many years ago. Surrounded by vineyards, flower gardens and olive groves, the main winery building appears to have been transported from the Italian countryside. Crafted from authentic materials and boasting details like hand-painted interior frescoes depicting peasant life in the Tuscan hills, Viansa’s villa can easily transport visitors away to romantic Italy, if only for an hour or two. And then there are the wines! Viansa pioneered the concept of Cal-Ital wines – California made wines crafted from Italian varietals grown here in Sonoma. Using traditional Italian grapes such as Arneis, Pinot Grigio, Tocai Friulano, Vernaccia, Dolcetto, Primitivo, Sangiovese and Barbera, Viansa’s winemaking team creates the flavors of the old world right here in the new world. And in addition to all the great Italian varietals, they also have created a menu filled with many of the popular California wines such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Cabernet Franc. And let’s not forget the Viansa “Signature Series” wines that represent the “best of the best.” These wines are single vineyard designate wines created by Lloyd Davis, with no more than 150 cases of each wine made within a vintage. They express the best that Viansa has to offer and as a result, have become highly collectible. Only Signature Club members are eligible for the wine club discount on these wines. “While I am naturally very pleased with the reaction and response to our Signature Series, I am totally committed to maintaining Viansa’s Italian heritage, offering a very wide selection of world-class wines, focusing on exceptional customer service and treating every guest as family,” says Lloyd.

musical Wine by The Singing Winemaker BY KIMBERLY HORG-WEBB Music and wine lovers can have the both of best worlds by tasting musically inspired wines with live music by the singer/winemaker who goes by the name: The Singing Winemaker (aka Steve Powell). Steve’s signature wines are his red varietals but he offers every type of wine ranging from Dolcissimo, a musical term meaning “very sweetly” for a Cabernet Sauvignon blush; a white Scherzando, (musical term for playful) for his, light summer white wine; a tawny Port; a late harvest Zin dessert wine along with peach, raspberry and almond sparkling wines. “We focus on red but provide wine for all palates, there is something in the tasting room for everyone,” he said. “We have great wines and the best wine tasting experience.” The Singing Winemaker has not released a new red wine in a year, so this summer he is back in action, releasing six wines. Each will have a release party during the summer with wine and food pairings for guests and of course, music for every age and taste performed by The Singing Winemaker. Many of his wines have musical names including his Harmony blend made with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Old Vine Zinfandel. The Singing Winemaker’s popular Melody which is a blend of Malbec and Tempranillo is always a crowd pleaser along with another favorite, Amador County Barbera, which is a robust Italian varietal.

68 www.WineCountryThisWeek.com Wine Tasting on TREASURE ISLAND Come Discover the Hidden Treasures by Robert Amox, Proprietor & Vintner KNIGHTSWOOD VINEYARDS & WINERY AND BODEGA WINE ESTATES

One of the most often-asked questions winery visitors ask is some form of, “Why Treasure Island?” It has not been a direct route from the pastoral vineyards of Sonoma County to the former Naval base with its curious blend of peaceful avenues, transitional ghost buildings and stunning views of every San Francisco landmark. Doing the same thing as everyone else is seldom the path for me. Not only do I listen to a different drummer, I’ll probably make his drum different, too. Instead of opening yet another winery in Sonoma County, I was drawn in by the unique location and environment. No one had attempted to make wine here, but re-utilizing these buildings with the correct infrastruc- ture already in place was a great opportunity. I co-founded the first multi-winery property on the Island, then split off to establish Bodega Wine Estates in another building that became available. My love affair with wine and food developed over many years. Never content with being a bystander, my journeys led me to learn to cook, grow grapes and make wine. It is a process in motion, always TREASURE ISLAND seeking the best out there – learn from the best, source the best and BODEGA WINE ESTATES make the best.
