PICK ‘EM QUICK This year’s heat wave meant early harvest for some of the more quickly-ripening blocks of vines at Satori Cellars in Gilroy.

OCTOBER 13, 2017

t was the second weekend of September when the call for help went out to friends and club members of Satori Cellars in Gilroy. With the prior week’s unusual heat wave, the vineyard grapes were ripening more quickly than expected and it was time to harvest some of the more early ripening varietals, namely the blocks of merlot and primitivo zinfandel.

In the morning darkness my husband and I bounded out of bed; excited to participate in another Satori harvest, our third time in as many years. We quickly dressed in layers and, anticipating a dusty, sticky day, threw on our grubbiest jeans and old tennis shoes. âž? 6

SATORI HARVEST

OCTOBER 13, 2017

ALL SORTED Workers during harvest time at Satori Cellars pick through the grape-filled bins—ensuring the quality of the fruit.

6

With hardly any cars on the road, it was just getting light out when we arrived at 6:45am to meet a group of 30 other like-minded people—all eager for this adventure outside our normal daily lives.

An assortment of pastries and hot coffee were laid out for us to enjoy while Tom and Sandy Moller, the owners and winemakers, explained the morning’s agenda.

The morning sky was overcast and the air was cool—perfect conditions for the task at hand. Tom explained that it was important to harvest the grapes early in the day while the sugar levels were still low—before the sun’s warmth would spike the levels back up again. “Picking grapes in the early morning when the grapes’ temperature is below 68 degrees allows for optimal fermentation.”

Everything we needed to pick grapes was provided: work gloves and small sickle-shaped scythes.

Moller provided instructions, “The

grapes are looking excellent, but just in case, don’t pick anything that might look moldy or under ripe.”

The group followed behind Aquarius, the assistant winemaker, who led us toward the rows of merlot grapes we would be picking.

Along the way, we could hear roosters crowing from nearby farms.

We walked carefully; dodging the deep rabbit holes and random tree roots sticking up from the ground.

A pack of friendly dogs; some belonging to the Mollers and others brought in by the group members, followed along for the fun.

The head-trained vines were at eye level—no stooping or reaching overhead was required. For the very first time, Aquarius had trimmed the top growing canopy of vines—exposing the grape clusters and making them easier to get at.

We pickers soon found our rhythm and discovered the knack for cutting the grape clusters from the

plant—tossing them into the plastic bins that were positioned along the rows beneath us.

We moved along in leapfrog fashion as the portion of the vines we were working on were stripped—moving ahead in the row to get at the other clusters waiting to be picked. Along the way, I couldn’t resist sampling some of the grapes. Although seeded and small in comparison to table grapes, these vine-ripened gems were sweet and full of flavor.

Soon the bins were filled and picking came to a halt as we realized we were out of empty bins.

Just then, Moller slowly drove his old flatbed pickup truck down the row to collect the heaping bins and to drop off empty ones. Moller’s teenage son Riley and a few of his sturdy young friends who were riding in the back, jumped off to collect the bins and leave us some empty ones. As the truck passed by, we pressed up against the vines,

careful not to get our toes run over.

“Anyone want anything to drink? I’ve got a cooler filled with waters and anything else you might like.” Moller drove off, taking the loaded bins to the sorting “station”—where other helpers sorted out leaves, twigs and undesirable grapes from the bunches.

As we resumed our picking, light conversations started among our diverse group—ages 10-80 years old. One couple, with delightful Polish accents, lived next door. We learned that several people worked at high tech jobs in Silicon Valley, one person was a nurse, another, a yoga instructor and many of us were retired. Although the majority of us were returning to this annual ritual at the vineyard, this was a first-time harvest for several newcomers.

Kerry White, a recognized “grape whisperer” from New Zealand joined us—explaining the virtues of a relatively new technique he uses to put “biology back in the soil.” Similar to composting, White explained his process of growing and adding back living organisms to the soil, providing the vines with nutrients they need for improved growth and more abundant crops.

It was the group’s consensus that we all shared a common bond—our abiding admiration and fondness of the Mollers. Their kindness, generosity and positive attitudes have uplifted many a visitor to their winery.

Now we were onto the rows of primitivo zinfandel, not only the first of all the zinfandel grapes to ripen but also a grape varietal that ripens unevenly. Moller was back with further instructions, “Pick the large clusters, usually it’s two or three, closest to the trunk of the vine. Leave behind the small clusters that look like Christmas tree ornaments and any clusters that look translucent or are light in color. We only want the big, meaty, deeply colored, opaque clusters.

Some raisining is fine—that’s typical zinfandel.”

Two hours flew by as we chatted, laughed and picked the grapes from more than 600 vines. We spotted Jeff and Carol in a golf cart coming down our row—with all the fixings to make Bloody Mary’s for those of us over 21.

OPTIMAL TIMING Grapes are picked in the early morning to ensure the sugar levels of the fruit remain low. sturdy worker, turned on the noisy machine and then gently poured the grape-filled bins into the hopper. First, a corkscrew shaped paddle separated the grapes from their stems. The stems will be composted and later, turned back into the vineyard’s soil. Then, the machine lightly crushed the grapes and, using gravity, the resulting “must” (composed of juice, fruit, grape skins, seeds), traveled down a wide tube into a fermentation container.

At capacity, the fermentation container can hold nearly two tons of crushed grapes. The grape must will ferment inside the container for the next eight to 14 days.

During this time, yeast will convert the grape sugars into alcohol (fermentation). The grape skins that float to the top will be “punched” back down into the juices—providing color and flavor.

When fermentation is complete, the seeds and skins will be strained and the remaining juices moved into barrels or tanks ➝ 8

OCTOBER 13, 2017

Pretty soon, we had picked so many grapes that the people sorting them could no longer keep up.

So, several of us headed for the sorting tables to balance the workload. We joined a half dozen other sorters; picking through the grapefilled bins—ensuring the quality of the fruit. I passed the time talking about the important things in life with Aurora, a long-time friend of the Mollers. We were glad to be wearing gloves as there were lots of earwigs and spiders lurking among the grape clusters. These bugs fell to the bottom of the bins and were tossed to the ground.

Mike Wendt, a Gilroy resident, was probably the hardest working individual on the scene. At 6-foot5-inches tall, Wendt was the perfect height to lift the bins of sorted grapes onto the back of a pickup truck that converted into the crush pad where the grapes were poured into a crusher/de-stemmer machine. Wendt held the ladder for me as I climbed up to get a better view. I watched as Tom, another

ERGO-GRAPE The head-trained vines at Satori in Gilroy are at eye level—no stooping or reaching overhead is required. for up to three years, depending on the grape varietal. After the wine has aged sufficiently in the barrels, it will be bottled and ready to enjoy.

At 11am, just as the overcast skies were giving way to a hot, bright sun, Moller and Aquarius called a halt to the day—saying it was time for lunch. Moller reported, “We harvested nearly six tons of grapes today which I’m pretty sure is a record for the first pick. And the ‘numbers’ are fantastic (around 27 brix and 3.7 pH on the zin and 25.5 brix and 3.7 pH on the merlot). Brix (°Bx) is a measurement of the sugar in the must—all pointing to the amount of alcohol a wine will have.

If that sounds like Latin the short answer is “tasty wine.”

As usual, Sandy Moller had

cooked up something special for us—this time, deep pans of chicken and eggplant parmesan, a big tossed green salad and garlic bread.

A selection of Satori Cellar’s finest wines and chocolate brownies rounded out the delicious meal.

As we drove home, we could not think of a more satisfying way to spend a day—being out in nature, in the middle of a beautiful vineyard, alongside a group of interesting people—all working toward a common goal.

It is fascinating to think that three years from now, we will most likely be drinking the wine made from grapes we hand-picked that morning.

With sincere gratitude to the Mollers and their friends, we hope to be back soon.

COOL-PRESSED The San Benito Olive Festival is ripe for the picking this Saturday, Oct. 14, 2017.

San Benito celebrates the olive OCTOBER 13, 2017

By TIA SUNDBERG

T

he cool month of October evokes thoughts of foods and beverages made from pumpkins and apples, but for one October day each year the San Benito Olive Festival invites everyone to switch their focus to a much smaller fruit—the olive.

San Benito Olive Festival board member Kathina Szeto describes the festival as a “fresh culinary celebration with innovative creators and delectable pairings.”

Festivalgoers will be treated to samples, products and creations made by award-winning olive growers, world-class vintners and craft brewers. Attendees are invited to

enjoy a wide variety of entertainment and activities during the festival, including cooking demonstrations, hands on crafts, cultural dance performances and live bands.

San Benito County Historical Park, a once-working ranch, hosts this year’s festival. Olive lovers will be able to visit the “Olive Bar,” at the old-time saloon amid the park’s historical village.

Jim Ostdick, a retired history teacher who hiked across America earlier this year, will lead adventurous visitors on a geology tour behind the village to a view overlooking the park and the Diablo Range foothills.

Along with renowned olive oils, visitors will be able to sample culinary delights from organic tapas

to gourmet cheeses, pasta and fruit kabobs.

“We’re very excited about two new food artisans joining us,” said Szeto, “The Farmhouse Café, an organic restaurant from downtown Hollister and Tres Bien Creamery, an artisan cheesemaker from Willits, California—known as the “Willy Wonka of cheese.”

Professional and celebrity chefs will delight onlookers by sharing olive oil-inspired recipes on the cooking stage; and a VIP Tasting Grove will offer tastings of fine wine and craft beers.

Master of ceremonies, DJ Sergio will kick off the live entertainment with singer, Joe Fata, doing his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Fata will be followed by the musical acts of Mr. O’s Jazz Band, Absurdum and Midnight Sun, along with cultural performances including Mariachi Juvenil Alma de Mexico, performing Mexican folklore and modern music, and Calpuli Itzpapalotl Danza Azteca, performing pre-Columbian Aztec dances.

The playful Botanical Family Fun area offers agriculturally-themed activities and projects including creation of olive wreaths and fall flower bouquet arrangements, rock and pumpkin painting, scarecrow building and an olive paint party.

Now in its fifth year, the San Benito Olive Festival is produced by a team of more than 200 dedicated volunteers, including board members and chairpersons.

“We are very grateful to our community-minded and generous sponsors, and the supporting non-profit organizations who bring in the hard working volunteers that make the San Benito Olive Festival a welcoming and fun place to be,” says Szeto, noting that the volunteers have contributed thousands of hours of hard work to make the event a success.

San Benito Olive Festival is Oct. 14 from 10am-5pm at San Benito County Historical Park, 8300 Airline Highway, Tres Pinos. For more information, visit sanbenitoolivefestival.com.

A Passion for Plants

SPOOKY BLOOMS This variegated Chlorophytum or Spider plant is a fun example of a resilient houseplant, perfect for Halloween.

Not So Itsy Bitsy Spiders

By NANCY SCHRAMM

L

become passé during the intervening years, but it’s such an easy plant to grow it’s worth recommending to those new to growing plants indoors. Spider plants have long, narrow leaves that usually have several lengthwise stripes of white and green, called variegation. The plant sends out long, slender stems that arch up, out and eventually down with some small white flowers at the end. But the spider plant earns its name from the little plantlets that form along and at the end of these flowering stems, looking like—you got it—spiders. This is one houseplant that I’ve found difficult to kill.

It survives for me in a room with

ooking back, I don’t remember ever writing about houseplants.

Perhaps because while I’m pretty good at keeping my outdoor plants alive, they tend to cringe when I take them indoors to (what they probably call) the torture chamber. How’s that for a Halloween theme? But rather than talking about killing house plants, let’s celebrate Halloween by looking at two spidery plants.

Most people of a certain age remember how popular it was to grow spider plants (Chlorophytum comosum) indoors in macramé hangers in the 1970s. It may have

a north-facing window, and even when I forget to water it for so long that it goes peaked looking and then limp, I’ve rarely lost one. An added bonus is the fact that the spider plant (along with a number of other houseplants) is known for helping filter and clean the air.

Ever seen a pretty spider? There are several plants with flowers that may remind those with an active imagination of spiders, including spider flower (Cleome hasslerana) and two different spider lilies, Hymenocallis and Lycoris. Let’s look at Lycoris radiata, the red spider lily because it is so well suited to our climate. This native of Japan grows from a bulb much like Amaryllis (to which it is related), the pink naked lady flowers that are a common sight around the Bay Area in late summer, and thrives in similar conditions. Plant red spider lily bulbs where they will get full (or at least a half-day) of sun during the winter. They prefer to be dry in the summer when dormant, and irrigated or rained on during the winter when the foliage is green and lush— just the ticket for our Mediterranean climate. They are cold hardy too, surviving freezing temperatures. The red flowers appear in late summer or early fall before the foliage starts growing.

Spider lily flowers (also known as surprise lilies) burst into bloom atop 18 inch tall stems. The showy red flowers have narrow, wavy-edged petals (technically tepals), which curve backwards, and very long stamens which look like daddy-long-leg spider legs.

The bulb is mildly poisonous. As a result, deer and gophers tend to leave the whole plant alone.

Remember, Gilroy readers, if you have five library receipts you can visit Gilroy Gardens for free.

The fall color is glorious when cool weather arrives.

Seven local wineries earn top marks

By BEV STENEHJEM

ith all the new, recent awards and accolades— both near and far—it’s cheers all-around for our local wineries.

Anthony Dias Blue, the wellknown wine writer and editor-inchief, for SOMM magazine, Blue Lifestyles and The Tasting Panel magazine recently awarded seven of our wineries with 90+ scores: 2013 Aver Family, Petite Sirah, Estate, Santa Clara Valley, Blessings ($60) 92 pts.

2014 Sarah's Vineyard Pinot

Noir, Reserve, Santa Clara Valley ($60) 92 pts.

2012 Jason Stephens Winery, Syrah, Estate, Santa Clara Valley, ($26) 91 pts.

2013 Morgan Hill Cellars, Merlot, Santa Clara Valley, ($22) 91 pts.

2015 Sarah's Vineyard Pinot Noir, Estate, Santa Clara Valley ($44) 91 pts.

2013 Seeker Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Teresa Estate, Santa Clara Valley ($42) 91 pts.

2014 Stefania Wine, Syrah, Besson Vineyard, Santa Clara Valley, ($24) 90 pts.

At the recent 37th Annual San Francisco International Wine competition, 58 judges tasted over 4,300 wines from more than 30 countries around the world. Several of our wineries won gold, including the 2013 Therese Vineyards Syrah ($38), a beautiful gem of a wine from Martin Ranch Winery, which received a double gold medal. Also winning gold medals at this International competition were Guglielmo Winery for their 2015 Grignolino ($20) and Fernwood Cellars for their 2012 Red Rhone Blend ($42).

Another prestigious competition, the 41st annual, 2017 Orange County Wine Competition, gave Kirigin Cellars top honors (four stars) for their 2016 Malvasia Bianca ($19.90), a dry, fragrant and rarely seen white varietal.

Also gold-medaled in this competition were the 2013 Natalie Grenache and the 2014 Natalie Grenache Blanc (both around $30) from Sarah’s Vineyard, along with the 2014 Malbec ($24) from Stefania Wine, a 2015 Syrah and a 2015 Zinfandel (both $19.90) from Kirigin Cellars.

Now in its 78th year, the Los Angeles International Wine Awards gave Fortino Winery a gold medal for their 2014 Carignane ($27). They also awarded three gold medals to Solis Winery: 2013 Red Blend, Baciami Reserve ($40), 2013 Estate Fiano ($30) and their 2013 Zinfandel ($30).

On a local level, in their annual “Best Of ” awards, Fortino Winery was again named the Best Winery in Gilroy and Guglielmo Winery was voted Best Winery in Morgan Hill.

Karen Seeker, president of the Wineries of Santa Clara Valley, says, “These awards are something for us all to be proud of and really vindicates our mutual feeling that this is a great place for growing grapes, and a home to quality winemakers.”

ey, thanks for the congratulatory emails regarding my recent retirement. Miss those kids, though I love being able to ride every day! Oh, and a correction regarding last month’s picture; photo credit should have gone to Miriam Romo, photographer, parent helper and mom extraordinaire.

It’s October, so it’s the last month when our Save the Dates calendar will be so full.
