INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WINE CONSUMER
BY LEN NAPOLITANO
What foods match best with dessert wines? There’s an old rule that says sweet foods should be served with sweet wines. But I find this rule to work less often than when I match salty food with sweet wines. On those rare occasions when sweet wine is paired successfully with sweet food, it is usually the wine that is the sweeter of the two. If the food is sweeter than the wine, the wine tastes flat and thin. When the subject of pairing food and wine is approached, there are always classic marriages that are raised and pairing food with sweet wines is no exception. One legendary pairing is Port wine with Stilton and other blue cheeses. This is a perfect example of a sweet and powerful wine balanced by

a rich, aromatic cheese. Another great duo is Sauternes and foie gras. In this example it is the fat of the goose liver that is complemented by the sweetness and viscosity of the famous wine from Bordeaux, France. Another great companion of Sauternes is the intense spicy flavor of Roquefort cheese. Just as with pairing dry table wines with meals, the pairing of dessert wines should take into consideration the intensity, weight and texture of the accompanying food. Light dessert dishes work best with light, crispy white wines. Heavier, richer desserts deserve fuller bodied sweet wines, usually red, as with Vintage Port, but sometimes a full-bodied white wine also works, as in the case of Sauternes. Some lightweight sweet white wines include Moscato and Late Harvest Riesling. Prices for these wines can start as low as $10 a bottle. The more intensely flavored versions will be sold in half-bottles and run slightly higher in price. Sauternes is extremely expensive, especially from older vintages. This wine is handcrafted with only the best quality grapes available, and only in years that yield grapes that meet the highest standards of the fine winemakers of Bordeaux.

In honor of National Pinot Noir Day August 18th, Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards will be celebrating its magnificent Pinots all weekend long with special tastings, light bites and live music, ensuring no pinot lover will be left out of the fun. Gloria Ferrer’s Pinot Weekend will take place Friday, August 18th from 12 to 4 p.m., Saturday, August 19th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Sunday, August 20th from 12-4 p.m. in the arbor at the winery located at 23555 Hwy 121 (Arnold Dr.), Sonoma. General admission tickets cost $45; special ticket prices are available for Gloria Ferrer club members. Tickets include nibbles, live music in the arbor, a tasting of Gloria Ferrer’s award-winning olive oils, as well as access to 3-4 wine stations featuring several estate, single vineyard and clonal Pinots (most winery exclusives), including: • 2016 Carneros Estate Pinot Blanc ($27): Hand harvested from 159 of their best estate vines and 100 percent stainless steel fermented, this wine is delicate and crisp with bright fruit flavors. • 2013 Rust Rock Terrace Pinot Noir ($50): Comprised of shallow, rocky, volcanic soils situated on the uppermost hillside at the northwest end of their Circle Bar Ranch vineyard, the Rust Rock Terrace produces wines with elegant fruit characteristics and silky mouth feel. • 2013 Gravel Knob Pinot Noir ($50): The Gravel Knob vineyard is comprised of several blocks on the hillside closest to the winery,
their Home Ranch. Only a small selection of the grapes from this 30-acre vineyard block is used to craft this unique Pinot Noir with impressive and intricate flavors. • 2014 José S. Ferrer Pinot Noir ($55): Jose named Gloria Ferrer Caves and Vineyards to honor his loving wife. In turn, Gloria Ferrer’s finest Pinot Noir is named to honor José. Every vintage the winemaker tastes through selected barrels containing that harvest’s best fruit to create this barrel selection wine. • 2017 Colmar Clone Pinot Noir ($70): Only 100 cases of this very special wine featuring the distinctive Colmar Clone were produced. With a generous nose of spice and fruit, the wine offers a full and silky mouthfeel and a bright finish. Space is limited. Pinot Weekend tickets are available at www.gloriaferrer.com.

ROTH ESTATE WINERY Taste. Savor. Play. Roth Estate is a family owned winery committed to crafting wines of exceptional quality grown in the best vineyards of the Alexander Valley, Sonoma County and Sonoma Coast AVAs. Their bold, flavorful wines coupled with their fun, laid-back atmosphere in the heart of Sonoma County make Roth a must-visit. Since the grand opening of the tasting room and wine caves in 2015, the winery has become a “hot spot” for guests to take in the stunning tasting room, relish in a tour and tasting with lunch, challenge friends to an outdoor game, or relax on the patio with a glass of wine while gazing at the estate buffalo. (Yes, there are indeed buffalo on the estate, but don’t worry, they are fenced in). The winery’s estate vineyards are nestled in the rolling hills with volcanic based soils of the Alexander Valley AVA. These sitespecific vineyards produce bold, full-flavored Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot, while the cool-climate Sonoma Coast AVA vineyards produce rich Chardonnay and elegant Pinot Noir. Year after year, Roth wines have garnered the attention of the industry’s top reviewers and publications. Their 2014 Chardonnay was named a Top 100 Best Wine of Sonoma County by Sonoma Magazine, the 2016 Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc earned a Gold Medal at the Sunset International Wine Competition, and their 2014 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir scored 92 points from James Suckling (to name a few). Most recently, Roth introduced 22
limited-production, reserve wines only available at the tasting room including: Reserve Pinot Gris from Russian River Valley, Reserve Zinfandel from Dry Creek Valley and Reserve Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the cool-climate Sta. Rita Hills AVA. These approachable wines at Roth Estate offer seriously delicious flavors at a great value.
Visit the Estate No other winery encompasses the approachable, inviting and fun atmosphere quite like Roth. The tasting room features a walk up bar with large windows overlooking the estate barrel room, a seated lounge area and reserve room for more intimate seated tastings. The blend of natural woods, floor-to-ceiling windows and contemporary décor of the interior space provides a feeling of tradition that embraces modernity – much like the wines themselves. This natural and modern blend extends to the large exterior space, where simple yet sophisticated décor meets California rolling hills, on top of which the roaming buffalo mentioned earlier can be seen. This outdoor patio is a favorite place for guests to enjoy games, a glass of wine and special picnic lunches. The Featured Tasting for $20 includes six featured wines, and the Reserve Tasting includes four exclusive limited-production reserve wines. (Visit the Roth website for more information. Reservations are required for groups of six or more, tasting room open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily).

Trinchero Napa Valley Culmination of a Dream Over a decade ago, Trinchero Napa Valley was founded by the Trinchero family. The only brand bearing the Trinchero family name, every wine is crafted with estate-grown fruit, hand-selected from the family’s sustainably farmed vineyards throughout Napa Valley. The brand is an homage to Mario and Mary Trinchero, who built Sutter Home Winery and created their legacy in the Napa Valley community that continues today. The winery has been going through several phases of construction starting in 2007 with the 22,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art winery which was specifically designed to craft small lots of Napa Valley wine. In 2009, the Hospitality Center was completed which boasts multiple event spaces, a bocce court and dramatic views of the Napa Valley. It is a private space that is rich with historical details that tell the story of the Trinchero’s journey for Italy to New York City to the Napa Valley.
Family Member Creates the Vision for the Estate The architectural style of the new estate winery evokes early California, while gracefully fitting into its agrarian surroundings. The interior harkens to the historic roots of the Trinchero family, which are seamlessly interwoven with the history of the Napa Valley as a winegrowing region. Bobby Torres, third-generation family member and a graduate of U.C. Berkeley with an architectural degree, shaped the creative vision of the estate. 26

Along with standard wine tastings, the winery offers some incredible experiences and educational seminars including a Food and Wine Pairing, “Art of Oak,” an exploration of the history and use of barrel selection in winemaking and “A Taste of Terroir,” a single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon comparative tasting with cheese selections. Reservations are required for experiences and seminars.
Fine Winemaking Since 1948 The Trinchero family has been making wine in the Napa Valley since 1948. Mario Trinchero, a young Italian immigrant with an innovative spirit, left New York City and headed west to California where he hoped to build a better life for his wife Mary and their three children. Soon after arriving in the Napa Valley, Mario and his brother purchased a winery that had been abandoned during Prohibition and the rest is history.
Single Vineyard Estate Wines Trinchero Napa Valley estate wines are sourced from some of the best vineyards in the Napa Valley and are a perfect addition to any wine collection. Mario’s Vineyard produces Cabernet Sauvignon and Mary’s Vineyard produces Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon (Vin Santo). The Haystack Vineyard produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Sirah; Cloud’s Nest Vineyard produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Malbec; Central Park West Vineyard produces Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc and Vera’s Vineyard produces >> BY BONNIE ZIMMERMAN Chardonnay.

Ledson Winery & Vineyards A History of Land Stewardship Since the turn of the 19th century, the Ledsons have been one of the most renowned agricultural families and land stewards of Sonoma wine country. From a history of ranching in Yosemite Valley to growing prunes, hay, walnuts and, of course, wine grapes in Sonoma Valley, the Ledson heritage is one of farming, hard work and respect for the land. Steve Ledson envisioned Ledson winery in the heart of Kenwood where his grandparents once lived. After acquiring the land and planting his first vineyard of Merlot in 1989, Ledson winery’s first harvest was in 1993. In 1997 the inaugural vintage of 1993 Ledson Estate Merlot was released to broad critical acclaim. The winery proudly opened its doors to the public in 1999. Today, Ledson Winery & Vineyards produces more than 70 different quality wines — up to 20 different varietals and blends from as many as 10 appellations, with many going on to score in the mid-to-high 90s in competitions, with wine reviewers, and in publications all over the world.

Sunday, September 17 at the Ledson Castle
PORSCHES AT THE PALACE Join us for the 18th Annual Concours d’Elegance Ledson’s Porsches at the Palace. 11 a.m.–4 p.m. View your favorite pristine Porsches as they line the circular driveway in front of The Castle.

Tastings will be customized based on requests and wine preferences specified when making your reservation. Cheese and charcuterie plates are available to add. This is truly a wine tasting experience unlike any other!
The Wines The Ledson winemaking philosophy is that everything begins in the vineyard. It has become increasingly rare to find a person that is both an expert in viticulture and winemaking, but that is exactly what you’ll find in Steve Ledson. Steve has a sixth sense about every step in the winemaking process, and can read a grapevine just as fluently as words on a page. He most definitely believes in quality over quantity, only ever using the best grapes, preferring to drop fruit if it doesn’t meet his approval. The same can be said with a wine release. Unless it’s the best, he won’t release it, ensuring that each and every time you taste a Ledson wine, you’re getting the best possible experience.
Saturday, October 7 at the Ledson Castle
CORVETTES AT THE CASTLE 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Corvette has stood for American muscle, American sports car, and American supercar according to Autoblog.com.

Beyond the Castle Ledson’s reputation for extraordinary hospitality extends beyond the castle to the historic Sonoma Plaza with the Ledson Hotel and Zina Hyde Cunningham Winery & Vineyards, which have both become highly regarded in their own rights. The hotel was named “One of the top 100 hotels in the world,” by Conde Nast Traveler, and is home to the Zina Hyde Cunningham tasting room. You can enjoy ultra-premium Zina wines or take part in an absolutely exquisite wine and food pairing like no other. At Zina, they believe that good winemaking is the perfect balance of science and art, a communion with nature, and a lifestyle.

Zesty acidity and balance make this a harmonious wine that should pair with most seafood, risotto dishes, roasted chicken and the like. Beautiful and approachable now, this wine will age and develop into a more voluptuous wine over the next two to five years. 153 cases bottled Three silver medals: Orange County Commercial Wine Competition, The International Women’s Wine Comp and San Francisco International Wine Competition • 2016 Rosé, Old Vines Gamay, Napa Valley, Calistoga (dry) This wine is bursting with aromas of bright cherry, watermelon and strawberry, with a touch of lemon, rose petals and green tea. Crisp on the palate with fruit-forward notes of candied strawberry and watermelon, fresh juicy pomegranate and Meyer lemon come through with a refreshing and long finish. Adding to the complexity of this rosé, the balance and acidity allow this wine to pair beautifully with many cuisines. 195 cases bottled Gold medal: Orange County Commercial Wine Competition

Tedeschi Family Winery The Tedeschi Family Winery is a boutique, family-owned winery producing fewer than 2,000 cases a year in the style of the “old-world.” Their flagship wine is made from the estate’s dry farmed, single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Emil Tedeschi’s grandparents settled in Calistoga in 1919, emigrating from Pisa, Italy. Their son, Eugene acquired the property that currently houses the winery and family home in 1951, where he planted the family’s first grapevines among established fruit trees. In 1991, Emil, Eugene’s son returned as steward after cofounding one of Hawaii’s most successful wineries: Tedeschi Vineyards – Maui. The Calistoga winery has become the passion and single focus of Emil’s two sons (fourth generation), Emilio and Mario, along with a very interested daughter, Elaine. “Making wines our grandparents would be proud of is what we are aiming for. Traditionally made, old-world wines that can be enjoyed with all different types of foods, good company

Wine Country This Week >> WINE COUNTRY NEWS
33rd Annual Winesong Event Tickets are on sale for the 33rd Annual Winesong event — a spectacular weekend of award-winning wine, fabulous food, fine art, music, merriment and charitable giving. Produced by the Mendocino Coast Hospital Foundation, the main event takes place at the gorgeous Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens on Saturday, September 9th, with A Pinot Noir Celebration at the nearby Little River Inn on Friday, September 8th. In addition, Winesong has just announced key honorees at this year’s event: Wine pioneer Nils Venge of famed Saddleback Cellars has been named Honored Vintner, wine writer and aficionado Dan Berger along with photographer and former wine industry executive George Rose have been named Auction Chairs, and local Anderson Valley Artist Rebecca Johnson has been named the 2017 Artist of the Year. Winesong allows attendees the opportunity to explore lauded wines from Mendocino County and around the world, all while sampling culinary delights from locally-based purveyors, as well as a selection of local brews and spirits. World-class artwork is also on display, all set against a backdrop of the stunning Botanical Gardens and the majestic Pacific Ocean. Winesong aims to create harmony between one of the most breathtaking vistas on earth and all of your other senses, all while raising money for the Mendocino Coast District Hospital. This year’s Honored Vintner, Nils Venge, is universally regarded as one of the foremost pioneers of the Napa Valley wine industry. Born to Danish immigrants, Venge’s exposure to wine came at an early age, as his parents operated a wine and liquor import and distribution company in Southern California. Venge continued his pursuit of wine at the University of California in Davis where he earned a BS in Viticulture in 1967. Following a tour of duty in Vietnam as a Navy Reservist, Venge moved to the Napa Valley to pursue his interest in winemaking. In the subsequent years, Venge worked for the notable wineries Charles Krug, Sterling, Villa Mount Eden and Groth. During his tenure at Groth, Venge became the first American winemaker to receive a perfect 100 point rating from Wine Critic Robert Parker Jr. The 1985 Groth Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon catapulted Venge to a venerated position in the California wine industry. Nils Venge continues to produce outstanding wines at his Oakville facility, Saddleback Cellars. Auction Chair Dan Berger is a former Los Angeles Times Wine Columnist and a lifelong journalist who spent ten years as a general assignment reporter and editor for The Associated Press. He began writing about wine in 1976 and has been nationally syndicated since 1979. He and his wife, Juliann Savage, publish a private weekly wine newsletter, Dan Berger’s Vintage Experiences, which began in February 1996. He has contributed articles to Wines & Vines, Decanter Magazine in London, Wine Press Northwest, Tasters’ Guild Journal, Sommelier Guild Journal, the privately published California Grapevine, trade journals Cheers and Beverage Dynamics, and numerous others. He has been a keynote speaker at wine marketing seminars and has been asked to judge several

wine competitions over the years. Dan has also garnered many awards, including Wines and Vines magazine’s “Wine Writer of the Year.” In 2010, Mr. Berger was inducted into the Wine Media Guild Hall of Fame in New York. He is on the board of directors of the International Riesling Foundation. He is an aficionado of Napa and Sonoma wines. More than 40 years ago, Auction Chair George Rose began his long career as a photographer. Throughout the years, he has traveled a long and winding road through the elite world of popular music, film, news, politics and sports, eventually leading him to California’s Wine Country. During his prolific years as a Los Angeles-based photojournalist, Rose developed a remarkable and historic body of photographic work focused on popular culture. His independent assignments, focused primarily on the entertainment industry, have been published in USA Today, Time,

WINE COUNTRY NEWS << Wine Country This Week Continued Newsweek and Rolling Stone. 40 vintage prints of his are in the permanent collection of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. In 1987, Rose won a World Press Photo Award for news, and was named California “Newspaper Photographer of the Year” in 1976 by the University of Missouri, School of Journalism. The Los Angeles Times twice nominated him (1979 and 1980) for a Pulitzer Prize. For the past 25 years, Rose was a wine industry executive communications director at four successful wine companies: Fetzer Vineyards, Allied Domecq Wines USA, Kendall-Jackson, and J Vineyards & Winery. During this time, he continued to pursue his passion of photography. In 2015, Rose moved to Santa Barbara County’s Santa Ynez Valley. Much of his time is devoted to documenting the natural environment of the county as well as top vineyard estates up and down the coast of California. He is also a contributing photographer with Getty Images. 2017 Artist of the Year Rebecca Johnson grew up in an artcentric family in rural Hopewell, New Jersey. Her parents were designers, artists and art educators. “Life is art” was the family credo. This philosophy enriched and continues to inform Rebecca’s art and career. As a young artist Rebecca embraced the path of the successful professional. She received her BFA from Tyler School of Art and her MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. She studied bronze casting at the Johnson Atelier in New Jersey and stone carving in quarries in Vermont. A fulcrum of change occurred when The British American Arts Council awarded her a three-month fellowship to work in Northwest Wales. In this land of stonewalls, craggy mountains, wild coast and rich folkloric history Rebecca’s ideas gestated. Time and solitude created space for her to thoroughly see and imbibe the light, color and form of the land. Her exterior and interior visions integrated and enhanced each other. Rebecca discovered a new degree of courage and conviction to follow her work to its true ultimate power, rural nature and a poetic vision. Rebecca now lives and works in Northern California, Mendocino County, a place of raw elemental forces. Her studio is located in the Anderson Valley, where inside a large renovated barn
she creates paintings. The doors of the studio open to a hillside meadow filled with her stone sculpture. The calm beauty of this rural place resonates in her work.
