(CON TI N U ED)

With so many options, planning a wine vacation presents many challenges. Plotting the right course for your tours is not only time-consuming but can also be quite over-

BUENA VISTA WINERY

whelming. To simplify the process, we have selected Buena Vista Winery as THE mandatory stop for any wine enthusiast.

BUENA VISTA WINERY HISTORY Buena

Vista

Winery,

considered

California’s first premium winery, was founded in 1857 by the intrepid Hungarian noble, Agoston Haraszthy. The self-proclaimed count came to California leading a wagon train in 1849. Shortly thereafter, he was elected Sheriff of San Diego County and to the California State Assembly. It was Haraszthy who envisioned Sonoma’s great potential as a world-class wine producer.

He was responsible for the creation of the first gravity flow winery, the excavation of the first wine caves in Sonoma, the first to experiment with redwood barrels for aging and fermenting, and he brought more than 300 grape varieties from Europe to California.

In addition, Haraszthy founded the Buena Vista Vinicultural Society (BVVS).

As a trailblazer, he traveled to Nicaragua in the pursuit of finding an alternative route from Central America to California.

Haraszthy’s plan was later adopted by Theodore Roosevelt for the Panama Canal.

In 1869, while in Nicaragua he fell from a tree branch while crossing crocodile-infested waters and was never seen again.

PRESENT DAY In May 2011, Buena Vista joined the Boisset Collection of worldwide wineries, which included California wineries DeLoach and Raymond Vineyards, acquired in 2003 and 2009, respectively.

Buena Vista’s new owner, Jean-Charles Boisset, was born into the world of wine in Vougeot, Burgundy, France, the birthplace of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Boisset Collection was founded in 1961 and today includes wineries that share more than 22

Newport Beach Lifestyle | October 2018

18 centuries of combined winemaking heritage and tradition. They are in some of the world’s most prestigious terroirs, from Burgundy to the South of France to California’s Napa and Sonoma Valleys. Jean Charles’ leadership stands out due to his commitment to family, history and innovation through the implementation of organic and biodynamic farming.

David Ramey is the consulting winemaker at Buena Vista. A 1979 graduate of University of California, Davis is responsible for a thesis on how flavors evolve in wine.

This thesis is still used today worldwide as a reference.

Ramey works on making sure that wines are a true reflection of the character and style of Sonoma. “…My goal is to help Buena Vista achieve its goal of crafting wines with true Sonoma character: balance, harmony and deliciousness,” Ramey says.

Brian Maloney, also a Davis graduate, oversaw the rebirth of the legendary Buena Vista Winery in 2011. His team was responsible for the first production in more than 30 years of wine in the historic Champagne cellars. In addition, he supervises the production of Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays of JCB for the Jean-Charles Boisset Collection, and he collaborated to create the innovative and critically-ac-

Buena Vista Winery Owner, Jean-Charles Boisset/Photo: Lowell Downey

claimed JCB No. 3, a wine that unites the best of Sonoma’s Russian River Valley Pinot Noir with the best of Burgundy, France.

The Buena Vista tasting experience is a must. Count Haraszthy has been called the “Father of California Viticulture” for his introduction of innovative winegrowing techniques, championing improvements in grape quality and the promotion of California’s ability to become one of the greatest wine regions in the world.

Do not miss the opportunity to enjoy the tastings and tours offered year-round by this historic winery.

The Winery offers a Press House Tasting Room experience, set in the 1862 Press House, a Historic Wine Tool Museum Tour and Tasting, a Barrel Tour and Tasting, and a Private Reserve Tasting, all for between $20-$40 per person. Wine Club members have 4 complimentary tickets for the Press House Tasting Room.

The Loren Pink Beach

BERMUDA OFFERS DELECTABLE FOOD OPTIONS

BEST KNOWN FOR IT’S INCREDIBLE BEACHES, BERMUDA IS NOT ONLY AN ISLAND PARADISE BECAUSE OF ITS PURE SANDS AND WARM TIDES, BUT THE ISLAND IS ALSO ON THE MAP FOR HAVING SOME DELECTABLE FOOD OPTIONS. Bermudians have a unique flavor and style of cooking, one that transcends to the local dishes as well as the translated dishes of the chefs successfully attempting to infuse those Bermudian flavors into their inventive creations. Whether the food comes from a luxury resort, local storefront or a tiny, unassuming yacht club, all of our options are mouth-watering and worth a visit the next time you are escaping to this jewel in the Atlantic Ocean.

THE LOREN PINK BEACH: The Loren five-star resort celebrates spectacular views. The culinary team offers a casual interpretation of its commitment to seasonal locally sourced cuisine. This breezy, casual atmosphere is the perfect setting to enjoy Bermuda’s premier burger.

Beyond your table are dramatic ocean views and a truly captivating backdrop. Menu Tip: Although the seafood options are incredible, if you’re in the mood for red meat, order the Chimichurri Rubbed Hanger Steak with hand cut steak fries, Béarnaise and truffle oil.

MARCUS’ BERMUDA: With panoramic harbor views, a lively open kitchen and world-renowned chef Marcus Samuelsson at the helm, Marcus’ makes a stylish setting for dinner or cocktails at the legendary Hamilton Princess & Beach Club. A fixture on U.S. series like Top Chef and Iron Chef America, Samuelsson expertly fuses Bermuda’s British and African culinary influences, preparing elevated island classics with locally sourced ingredients and bold flavors. Menu Tip: Start with Fish Chowder Bites, Jerk Pork Belly or Grilled Bermudian Onion, and enjoy the spicy whole-roasted fish entree made with the day’s fresh catch. Don’t miss the Darker & Stormier – Marcus’ twist on Bermuda’s signature rum drink.

HOT SPOT

(CON TI N U ED)

SITUATED IN THE HEART OF ORANGE COUNTY, JUST OFF THE 405 AND 133, LIES 90 PACIFICA RESTAURANT & BAR, A SATISFYING RESTAURANT NESTLED RIGHT INSIDE THE DOUBLETREE IRVINE SPECTRUM. Owned and operated by Pacific Hospitality Group, the DoubleTree sets the tone for a friendly, hospitable, from scratch restaurant.

At the helm of the kitchen is Chef Scott Raczek, whose honest approach to cooking shines through his food.

“I am passionate about simple, tasteful cooking, mostly organic, elevating simple ingredients to its peak texture and taste,” he says.

Some of his signatures include his 24-hour brined Jidori chicken, jumbo luscious lump crab cake served with ice cold crisp watermelon, and his spicy ahi poke with tempura wasabi sticky rice balls. Chef Raczek believes a perfect dish balances on key notes, such as saltiness, spiciness, sweetness and acid.

Originally, Chef Raczek studied architecture, but after he landed a job in a kitchen during his studies, he was hooked. He soon found similarities between the two in that both required a strong vision to succeed. Given the keys to his first kitchen at 23, Chef Raczek brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. He believes in a hands-on approach to cooking, teaching to taste and investing in his staff.

Chef Raczek not only enjoys the process of cooking and the delicious flavors that are a result, but rather the all-encompassing experience it creates.

“I am truly humbled by the emotional connection food, wine, and the conversations that are created by the company of our guests,” he says.

Earlier this year, Chef Raczek was one of the top chefs in Orange County chosen to participate in the annual Table for 10 chef event held at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort, benefiting The Teen Project and Vocational Visions.

At Table for 10, Chef Raczek created some truly original dishes.

“We paired duck foie gras and a sweet potato tart with a brush of brambleberry balsamic basil jam and a petit Kobe filet with a crust of bitter buttered char nestled with egg noodles tossed with briny buttery sea urchin roe, to name a couple,” he says.

If that is not enough, all the courses were perfectly paired with Trinitas Cellars red and white wines, which is the vineyard owned by its CEO and founder Tim Busch.

Chef Raczek balances his days at either 90 Pacifica or Meritage Restaurant & Bar, the sister restaurant located at the DoubleTree in Santa Ana. Meritage shares the same principles of from scratch, honest cooking, where the ingredients are made to shine. More than likely, you can find Chef Raczek right on the line with his crew, teaching, tasting and investing in the team.

I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT SIMPLE, TASTEFUL COOKING, MOSTLY ORGANIC, ELEVATING SIMPLE INGREDIENTS TO ITS PEAK TEXTURE AND TASTE. 34

According to AFC CEO Joanna Richardson-Jones, AFC’s two locations (the other is in Mission Viejo) serves nearly 25,000 patients a year. There are 54 on staff and more than 1,000 volunteers.

“Our services include physical and occupational therapy, nursing care and medication management, counseling and social work and case management,” Richardson-Jones says.

In addition to the day care programs for dementia patients, AFC provides much-needed respite, support and resources for family caregivers.

Longtime AFC board member and Board Chair Mary Lou Shattuck says: “I am tremendously proud of what the agency does for our patients and our families in this terrifically difficult journey.”
