Five make wine

Mercer Island doesn’t produce grapes – just winemakers

by DEE HITCH The Island community has fostered the development of five winemakers, all graduates of Mercer Island High School. Chris Howell, winemaker, of Cain Vineyard and Winery of Napa Valley, graduated from Mercer Island High School in 1970; Craig Leuthold, owner of Maryhill Winery in Goldendale (1974); Leslie Lind Balsley, winemaker and owner of William Church Winery in Woodinville (1976); Nina Buty Foster, winemaker and owner of Buty Winery in Walla Walla (1993); and Anna Schafer, winemaker and owner of àMaurice Cellars in Walla Walla (1997).

All of these winery “kids” still have family living on the Island.

The fields of àMaurice Cellars in Walla Walla produce wines that are ‘compelling companions with food.’

A

nna Schafer is the winemaker for àMaurice Cellars in Walla Walla. Schafer lived on the Island from infancy and attended Island schools until she graduated from Mercer Island High School.

Her parents still live on the Island in the same home that they built in 1980. Schafer grew up with wine as a constant on the family dining table. àMaurice Cellars is a family operation that began in 2004. Tom Schafer, Anna’s father, is the general manager. The winery is named after Anna’s paternal grandfather, Maurice Schafer, a Pacific Northwest timber baron. The design for the distinctive black and white label bears his signature.

Schafer selects grapes from the Columbia Valley and the Blue Mountains near Walla Walla. àMaurice wines have received many awards and accolades, including the 2007 Horiuchi red blend 94 from

Wine and Spirits and the Wine Enthusiast; and 2005 Columbia Valley malbec, “the finest malbec in the U.S.,” Steven Tanzer said.

Seattle Magazine featured her among the Top New Winemakers.

When Schafer talks about her wines, the family dining room table is foremost in her mind.

“My interest is in creating extraordinary wines that are compelling companions to food. Social bonds are forged over meals, putting great wine and great cuisine at the center of special moments,” she said.

Apparently, restaurants agree. Her wines are on the list at The French Laundry in Napa and Per Se in New York.

The àMaurice tasting room is located at 178 Vineyard Lane in Walla Walla. Hours are Saturday, 10:30 to 4:30 or by appointment; call (509) 522-5444.

hris Howell has been Napa Valley’s Cain winemaker for over 20 years.

Howell was born in Swedish Hospital and was brought home to the Shorewood Apartments.

He attended Sunnybeam school and graduated from Mercer Island High School in 1970.

His mother, Barbara Howell, still lives on the Island, as does his brother, David Hallgren, and his family.

By all accounts, Chris Howell’s early fascination with winemaking must have been a challenge for his family.

“I first made wine in the basement and de-stemmed zinfandel grapes on the kitchen table. I crushed grapes by foot in the bathtub,” he said. “And it turned out OK! “My mentors were these first-generation Italian-Americans who hung out in the railroad yard in South Seattle,” he explained. “They distributed wine grapes from Lodi in California.”

Howell blends grapes at Cain Cellars perched above the Pacific Ocean in California’s Napa Valley.

He studied winemaking in France, where he studied viticulture along with winemaking. He was then granted a year-long internship at Mouton Rothschild.

“All of this was a great start, but in truth, just a beginning,” Howell said.

“I have been lucky to work in a number of different vineyards and wineries here in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys.”

Howell produces three wines at Cain Vineyard and Winery: Cain Five, Cain Cuvee and Cain Concept.

The “five” in the name Cain Five refers to the five grapes: cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot, petit verdot and malice, which are used in the Bordeaux area of France.

To visit, call (707) 963-1616 or email winery@CainFive.com.

in their garage, which got us started making wine.”

Rod and Leslie became “garagistes.”

The French term (meaning garage) refers to a group of innovative French winemakers in Bordeaux who began making more approachable, drinknow wines back in the mid-1900s.

“As a family-owned boutique winery, our goal is to stay small so we can be close to our customers and keep the artisan quality in our wines,” Balsley said.

“The name ‘William Church’ came from both our fathers,” she explained.

“William is Rod’s father’s first name, and Church is my dad’s middle name.”

The winery currently has seven wines available.

They consider their viognier as their flagship wine. The 2010 viognier got 90 points in the Seattle Metropolitan Magazine, 91 points in Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, a Double Gold in the Seattle Wine Awards and was a Platinum Award Winner from Wine Press Northwest. The 2011 vintage is eagerly awaited.

William Church has two tasting rooms in Woodinville. Call (425) 4822510 or visit williamchurchwinery. com.

eslie Balsley moved onto the Island in sixth grade and attended Mercer View Elementary and North Mercer Junior High, and graduated from Mercer Island High School in 1976.

Dr. John C. Lind, Leslie’s dad, is a retired Island dentist who still lives on Island.

“Rod, my husband, and I started our interest in wine on our honeymoon, where we were struck by how much wine is a part of the fabric of everyday life. In a lucky coincidence, we moved next door to someone who had been making wine for years as a hobby

ndrew Lodmell of Lodmell Cellars attended West Mercer Elementary, North Mercer Junior High, and graduated from Mercer Island High School in 1982.

Carol Lodmell, his mother, taught 25 years on Mercer Island at both Lakeridge Elementary and South Mercer Junior High, and still lives on the Island.

Andrew’s two nieces now attend Islander Middle School and Mercer Island High School.

Andrew was a star athlete during his school years on Mercer Island. In eighth grade, he began ski racing at White Pass and competed throughout the Northwest. Since Andrew is still a skier, you can find Lodmell Cellars wines in Sun Valley.

While attending Mercer Island schools, Andrew spent summers with Miles, his dad on his farm in Eastern Washington. Vineyards were planted there in 1990, about 30 miles from Walla Walla by the lower Snake River in the Columbia Valley appellation.

Andrew is the fourth generation to keep

the farming within the family.

“Nature is my boss,” he said. “What I like about farming and winemaking is the idea of working with nature. My skills can enhance the final result, but at the end of the day, I am working in harmony with nature and constantly adapting and learning from the infinite variables that nature provides.”

As in all small businesses, and especially family wineries, everyone lends a hand.

Andrew’s sister, Kristie Kirlin, is the behind-the-scenes facilitator at the winery. For the first three years, all the bottling was done by hand. She was there.

She does public relations, washes barrels, does the unglorified grunt work, and was the smiling face of Lodmell Cellars while pouring at Taste Washington in the first week of April.

The latest highlight in the Lodmell Cellars odyssey is the opening of its tasting room, located in the venerable and historic Marcus Whitman Hotel in downtown Walla Walla.

ISLAND CRISES 1949

A

A 1949 issue of the ‘Mercer Islander’ was found at an Island home being readied for sale after the death of its longtime owners. distressing set of headlines appeared on the front page of the ‘Mercer Islander’ newspaper that arrived on Island doorsteps on Aug. 25, 1949.

The dozens of docks on the Island shoreline were ordered to be closed. A local commissioner, Dean McLean, declared the docks to be “unsafe.” “It is not right to maintain recreational activity without adequate supervision,” he said.

The staff of the Islander dutifully called the commissioner, but did not receive a reply. The indignation of the editor is apparent in the use of uppercase text throughout the story Only a month earlier, the county engineer issued a similar order to tear down all docks on Mercer Island because they were “condemned and unsafe.” The Commissioner later stopped this order because of the need for the fire department to pump water from the lake. However, the story goes on to tell Islanders the alarming news that not only would the docks be torn down at some point, but that the roads leading to them

would be closed.

It is not difficult to imagine how Island residents reacted to this news.

Judge L.C. Brodbeck weighed in on the matter, saying the docks and landings must be preserved for the children and that there were “landgrabbers” afoot. It is not known how the situation turned out. The docks remained in place.

But, suspicion of government might have ruled the day. The dystopian novel “1984,” by George Orwell, had been published earlier in the year.

P

erhaps more alarming are the news briefs in the center of page one that report the death of a 30-year-old athletic coach at Overlake High School, from polio. He was taken to the hospital and died just 12 hours later.

The teen dance set for the weekend was cancelled. A county health department official told the Islander that the situation regarding the spread of polio was “not yet alarming.”

by Brita Moore

ince its inception in Portland in January 2011, the website Sharing Spree has reached three other American cities, including Seattle. Now Mercer Island mom Liz Kenny serves as the community relations director for Seattle’s chapter of the site, which advertises discounts of 50-90 percent at local hotspots while sending 10-15 percent of the proceeds to nonprofit organizations.

Sharing Spree is a daily deal site, similar
