    September 2020 Vol. IV, No. 3 An Exclusive Newsletter for The Vintners Club Members Lodi Vintners Notes What’s Inside From the Winemaker You Should Have Been There! Member Spotlight Featured Wines Recipe from Our Staff The Rippey Reserve Room The Vintners Club Exclusives Upcoming Events Current Wines From the Winemaker Covid-19 has changed our lives, including the wine industry. For those of you who have experienced symptoms or know someone who has, the virus is all too real. Our Tasting Room is open for tastings on the deck or around the fountain. Our team has worked hard to ensure your safety and enjoyment. August provided us with record setting hot days! This year, like last year, has been a less challenging growing season. Once again, we have a traditional start to the harvest with our first grapes arriving mid- August. This year’s harvest is yielding smaller, more flavorful grapes with juice that is deep in color and a promise of great wines. Not all grape varietals are picked at the same time. Grapes for sparkling wines are the first to be picked, usually in early August, marking the start of "crush." Next, most of the white grapes make their way from the vineyard to the crush pad. Harvest continues through late October – sometimes early November – for red varietals, as they take a bit longer to reach full maturation. Harvesting of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes begins later than most other varietals and typically lasts the longest. This year the Zinfandel vines at Lodi Vintners are heavy with fruit that is naturally flavorful.

    ~ RAYMOND BURR VINEYARDS ~ 8339 W. Dry Creek Road Healdsburg ~ California Located in the Dry Creek Valley AVA 5850 Anderson Rd, Forestville, CA 95436 www.bergmanvineyards.com PH: (707) 887-9822; FX: (866) 691-5251 Page 1 of 7 RAYMOND BURR VINEYARDS A Historical Perspective It was in the middle 1950’s on the widely acclaimed and successful television program “Perry Mason” that the two actors, Raymond Burr and Robert Benevides first met. Their friendship grew and advanced as their mutual interest in the knowledge of the cultivation and hybridization of orchids developed. Their mutual hobby began to grow in importance to them and the next logical step was to make it into a commercial venture. At the same time, Benevides had become Executive in Charge of Production for Mr. Burr’s very successful and long (8 years) running television series, “Ironside”. The two men purchased an island in Fiji where they raised coconuts and cattle and helped bring up the standard of living for the Fijian people who lived on the island. In 1976, Robert Benevides’ father, attracted by the beauty of the Dry Creek Valley and the special qualities of land with its productive soils, purchased portions of the existing Raymond Burr Vineyard Estate. Years later, Robert and Raymond planted vines on their lovely estate in 1986. Their first wines were made in 1990 under the direction of John Pedroncelli, who together with his brother, Jim, owned the Pedroncelli Winery off Canyon Road. The Raymond Burr label started in 1998. A reasonable price was set for the Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay wines, and over the years, prices for their Estate wines have remained the same as the original releases.

  • Many Readers Will Have Visited Sonoma County in Northern California Wine Country and Sampled the Zinfandels Made in the Sub­Region Named Dry Creek Valley
    Many readers will have visited Sonoma County in northern California wine country and sampled the Zinfandels made in the sub­region named Dry Creek Valley. The 70+ wineries there are so small (median production is only about 4750 cases) that most sell all that they make at the “cellar door” (either in a tasting room or through Internet orders). Additionally, 150 grape growers sell fruit to these winemakers and another 80+ wineries besides. This direct sales link is vital to small wineries as it vastly reduces their costs of distribution. One result, is that there are many good wines that do not make their way onto retail shelves here, or do so only at a restricted set of outlets (basically the finer wine stores in town). To taste the gamut of Dry Creek wine making you really need to visit the area (and the ideal time is the weekend known as Passport To Dry Creek Valley each April). Notwithstanding that, sometimes the growers go out to their customers. This month, the Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley brought several Dry Creek Valley winemakers to Dallas and I was fortunate to be a guest at their media event. Overall, the quality of their signature grape, Zinfandel, is higher than ever, with the over­alcoholic over­extracted sweet style of a decade ago replaced with wines that, while certainly bristling with power, also have complexity and the alcohol and sweetness in balance with each other and the other components. In a telling change from that ‘other’ style — these wines age. Examples from 2001 and 2004 exhibited resolved flavors and reassuring but approachable tannins that young Zinfandel usually lacks.

  • 2010 EBGB Chardonnayproduct-Pdf
    2010 EBGB Chardonnayproduct-pdf - North Coast *Ultimate 'Go-To' White Why We're Drinking It California’s North Coast covers more than 3 million acres, so you’d think finding a great high-value North Coast Chardonnay would be an easy task. The reality is, it’s not – unless, like a few members of our Sourcing Team, you’re lucky enough to know the wines of Pat Paulsen (the pioneer of the well-respected "celebrity-owned" wineries) and, more specifically, their EBGB wine series. “Good Chardonnay at a great price,” it's all fresh apple and pear, touched with a bit of oak and a juicy mouthfeel; all to make for a party wine that's heads and shoulders above its single-digit peers. From Pat Paulsen Vineyards, (who garnered tremendous praise and a wide following as one of the first successful and well-respected "celebrity-owned" wineries), this is EBGB. The (literal) underground EBGB wine bar originally conceived by Montgomery Paulsen to compliment Paulsen Vineyards, the winery’s Chardonnay encompasses the “go-to” hot spot. Grown in choice vineyards across the North Coast, the fruit (and flavors) mingle together like the artists that frequent the wine bar. One of the more creatively-named wines of Paulsen Vineyards (among American Gothic Red, Whirligig, and Paulsen for President), “EBGB” is everything Pat Paulsen desired for his 1980s creation: wines with personality, flair, and a little satire.
