Sulfites are the reason for mandatory label warnings on wine bottles because a small percentage of the US population, less than one percent, suffer an allergic reaction to sulfites, such as sneezing or coughing. About ten percent of these sufferers have a more serious reaction, such as shortness of breath. However, people who get headaches from wine should not automatically blame the sulfites. In the majority of cases the cause is probably something else, such as histamines in the wine. Some people take an antihistamine in advance of drinking wine in order to prevent getting a reaction from the histamines in the wine. Needless to say, the causes of allergic reactions of any kind are difficult to pin down without a doctor’s assistance and if you suffer any ailment as a result of drinking wine, you should consult with a doctor. If you have a wine allergy you can try narrowing down the cause by first sampling wines made from organically grown grapes, such as Bonterra made by Fetzer, or Sanford from Santa Barbara County, among many others. These wines are made from grapes that are grown without the use of synthetic chemicals, like pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. If no relief comes from drinking wine from organically grown grapes, the next step is to try a 100% organic wine, which contains a minimal amount of sulfites that occur naturally in production, and has no sulfites added. These wines are commonly found in natural food grocery stores. To be sure, every wine, organic or not, contains some sulfites because sulfites are produced naturally in the process of winemaking. If the total sulfite content is 10 parts per million or higher, however, the government requires a warning label. Winemakers add more sulfites because they help to preserve the quality of the wine for longterm shelf life. Therefore, wines that contain no added sulfites should be consumed while the wine is young.

Alternatively, wines fermented in tanks which are meant to finish those processes in the barrel are transferred off the “gross lees,” the solid by-products of making wine, which include dead yeast cells and various nutrients, so as to allow the oak’s influence to be in the mix earlier in the production process before the wine is even completely made. Regardless of which route toward oak reds and some whites take, the reasons for “barreling down” involve a slowdown into “cellar time.” Wine is a production process, not alchemy – we “cook” with grapes, essentially – and so the choice of using barrels is just that, a choice, and one with many subtle logistical options available to the winemaker. Before going into them, here’s what going into barrel does for a wine. While almost all reds spend some time in contact with oak, only some whites do. Oak imparts an underlying creaminess, and time in contact with it encourages malolactic fermentation to begin and to complete since Oenococcus oeni, the organism which acutally does the acid shift, is resident in oak; this serves to soften the wine since lactic acid is half as strong as malic (think milk versus apple juice) and provides perhaps another of the reasons barrels of oak were chosen for storage in antiquity. Lastly, tannin formation and interchange takes place between the barrels and the wine, and time in barrel in combination with the micro-oxygenation as the wood breathes serve to help create a chemically stable, silkier finished wine. With that as context, whether oak has been used as a primary fermentation vessel or not, when ready to age in contact with wood, the wine is transfered either from tank to barrel or from barrel to barrel. Gravity-fed wineries do these processes through the manipulation of space to allow the wine to literally drain downwards without mechanical aids; most other wineries use pumps of various designs to move wine horizontally or vertically around their production spaces into barrels with as little disturbance or oxygen contact as possible. Some wineries go the opposite direction, concatenating their wines into larger lots held in large oak or redwood vats or steel tanks, with or without oak stave inserts. Costs, of course, always play a role. A new imported barrel is north of $1,000, and that barrel will be used at most four times for any discernible “oakiness” it would impart. Think of a stormbattered piece of wood, only what’s left in the barrel after wine has been in it for a year or two resembles more a dark, yucky wine aquarium than driftwood. Once exhausted, a barrel can be shaved and re-coopered for an additional cost, but it’s just that, an additional cost which is dependent on the cooper’s skills to be done properly or else the wines stored in the “rejuvenated” barrel will take on port-like overtones. This is why some wineries choose instead to use older, “neutal” barrels or small steel tanks with various kinds of oak adjuncts like sticks, beads or cubes inserted, or they will use larger staves with notches, hanging on a lip around the edge of a large steel tank. As you can see, what is mechanically a simple process – separating liquid from most of the solids from fermentation – becomes a much more complicated cultural and thus financial process. How much of a difference this makes in consumer awareness and apprecation is, of course, a subjective result. What is undeniable, however, is the impact of oak on finished wine – and its impact to the bottom line for the winemaker both for costs and for sales. Consider that when next looking at a barrel chai: it’s not just a room of wood and liquid – it’s the recorder of winegrowing decisions. Enjoy!

High above the heavily-trafficked Napa Valley floor and hundreds of pretentious, monotonous wineries, sits a century-old treasure: Pope Valley Winery. This scenic road less traveled, draped with vineyards and offering panoramic views of the picturesque Napa Valley, leads you northeast of the Silverado Trail and back in time to 40 quaint, country acres. Here, the Burgundy Wine and Olive Oil Factory was founded in 1897, a three-story gravitational winery that shipped wine by train to Al Capone’s Chicago speakeasies during Prohibition. A century later, it was purchased by the Eakle family, long-time Pope Valley Residents, and given new life. The winery no longer sells to gangsters, but not too much else has changed. Pope Valley Winery’s mark of authenticity is signed and sealed with the nineteenth century farming equipment, hand dug cave and original blacksmith shop, farmhouse and wagon shed, all still on the property. In 2009, siblings David Eakle as winemaker and Diana Eakle Hawkins as general manager, took hold of the reins with the goal of bringing Pope Valley Winery to the next level of quality, distinction and recognition. They hand-craft 5,000 cases of fine wines a year, among them the Estate Reserve Cab and Merlot Eakle Ranch, which both won Best in Class for their 2010 vintages at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. They’re known for their Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel Port, and a very rare Old Vine Chenin Blanc, and produce Sangiovese Rosé, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel as well. Visitors – who are welcomed like old friends – can embark on one-of-a-kind tours of the historic grounds and through the cave, which took nine long years to dig. A variety of tasting options include custom wine flights, picnics, a private view of the vineyards from their 1897 Lounge and a Brunch & Bubbles Experience for the early birds. Wine Club members can even get away for a night with a stay in the original farmhouse, sipping wine under a bright sky completely blanketed in stars. No need for frills, extravagance or even paved roads. The only bells and whistles you’ll find here is literally on old ringing bell on a big oak tree. Pope Valley Winery prides itself in staying true to its historic, Old Napa roots, while making fine wines that can compete with the best of the New Age Valley below.

SATTUI WINERY 130 Years and Counting of Great Wines and Fun Times! BY JOSH STEIN V. Sattui Winery & Italian Market Napa Valle y Open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. 1111 White Lane, St. Helena, CA 94574 (707) 963-7774 | vsattui.com 28 If it’s a good time with great wines you are looking for, avoid the guessing games and go up to V. Sattui’s organic thirty-eight acres south of St. Helena to be treated right and to taste some of the finest winery-only releases in the Valley without attitude or pretension.It’s that very sense that the customer experience matters most that will have you return again and again. V. Sattui, one of the originators of the modern wine country experience, hasn’t forgotten why people come to Napa Valley, and they always overdeliver. We’re not the only ones who have noticed, by the way; their head of winemakng, Brooks Painter, was named Winemaker of the Year in 2013, and again in 2014. The winery itself has been named Winery of the Year or Best Winery in Northern California more than half a dozen times in the last decade. At the same time, this 130-year-old winery is well known for “good wines at good prices,” but that’s not what inspires such loyalty for the winery and its all-winery-only releases. It’s that they’ve never forgotten where they’ve come from or what truly matters in the wine business. The winery itself is named after owner Dario Sattui’s pioneering San Francisco vintner great-grandfather, Vittorio Sattui, who founded the enterprise as “St. Helena Wine Cellars” on then-Montgomery Street, now-Columbus Avenue in 1885. In 1899, the winery relocated to the Mission District as “V. Sattui Wine Co.” The winery closed production in 1921 because of Prohibition, but Dario, remembering his childhood amongst the barrels and tanks of the old underground cellar, refounded the winery in St. Helena in 1975, intent upon a wine experience modeled on a small European village, where visitors would feel encouraged to stay and feel part of “wine country” and its great wines without pretense or New WineryGeek app now available for iPhone and Android! WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINE COUNTRY NEWS large wallets. As Vittorio often proclaimed, “There is nothing like St. Helena grapes,” and as folks say today, there is nothing like V. Sattui anywhere else in the Napa Valley. Why? For starters, the winery produces more than sixty different wines, ranging from vineyard-designate and reserve Cabernet, Merlot, Petite Sirah, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Zinfandel bottlings; to a range of Chardonnays, Rieslings and Sauvignon Blancs; as well as three rosés; dessert wines including Angelica, Madeira, Muscat and port; Italian-inspired releases of Sangiovese, Vin Santo and older releases available nowhere else, so there is always something for anyone desiring a particular wine or style. Equally, the tasting fees are more than fair given the modern Valley, reflecting a philosophy that wine is for everyone. There are also, depending on the day, four or five different ways to taste: including two-and-ahalf acres of shaded picnic grounds with no charge for picnicking with purchases made from their extensive in-house deli, marketplace, and cheese case that includes more than two hundred cheeses from which to choose, including twice-daily pulled mozzarella. V. Sattui also offers weekend Barbecues, with wood-fired pizzas. . Group activities for small or large parties can be arranged by appointment; the winery is well known for never failing to please at such gatherings. And in line with this consumer-focused approach is the lack of anything but word-of-mouth to spread the news. Dario proudly remarks, “To this day, we spend almost no money to advertise.” Once folks visit, however, they keep coming back. Clearly, thousands of annual case buyers and Look for us on Facebook and become a Fan! six-thousand Wine-of-the-Month Club members can’t all be off course, right? How many other wineries anywhere on the planet can boast that level of loyal following without one bottle of distribution? V. Sattui pioneered this direct sales approach, making sure their efforts go into wines consumers want. No outside distribution means the ability to produce lots of different options without regard for what the corporate giants have dictated must be on store shelves. Dario’s philosophy is pretty straightforward, another rarity in today’s world: “I’ve always tried to make the best product I could, sell it at a fair price and let the product speak for itself.” To that end, the winery also offers several special ways to taste its best releases. The Estate Tower Tasting offers select limited release, estate wines, and older vintages in the relaxing warmth of the fireplace each afternoon, subject to availability, from mid-October through to March. Equally, the Wine Geek Tour is aimed at the ultimate enthusiast, taking visitors through the winery’s history, its vineyards and the production and barrel-selection process. Participants sample a selection of highly rated wines and tank and barrel samples, accompanied by a selection of housecured meats and artisanal cheeses. Last but not least, January 24th, brings the 2015 Barrel Tasting Party and its 60 wines and barrel samples of newly vinted 2014 singlevineyard wines, just-released wines and older-vintage selections along with a spectacular menu and live music.

The Scent of Truffles Unlike mushrooms that grow above ground, truffles rely entirely on animals to eat them as a means of spore dispersal. And how do they do that exactly? Well, by smelling good, of course! As truffles mature they develop aromas that signal to the surrounding wildlife that there is something tasty hidden under the soil. Dogs Lead the Hunt To many growers, the real fun of growing truffles begins with the harvest. Equipped only with trusty truffle hunting dogs, harvesting truffles is a hands-on endeavor (no mechanical harvesting devices are used). Almost any dog can be trained to truffle hunt, but here in the burgeoning American truffle cultivation world, foraging dogs are commonly German Shepherds, Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Belgian Malinois and other hunting breeds. In Italy though, site of some of the most famed and prodigious truffle and wild mushroom growing areas, the official Italian hunting dogs are Lagotto Romagnolos, or “lake dog from Romagna.” These dogs who hunt for “black gold” are worth their weight in gold, fetching prices as high as $13,000. While commonly trained to hunt for the most desirable truffles on an inoculated farm – the black Perigord (Tuber melanosporum), the white or Alba (Tuber magnatum pico), the summer Burgundy (Tuber aestivum/uncinatum), and the Bianchetto (Tuber albidium pico) – they can also be taught to hunt for mushrooms. Along with dogs, female pigs have traditionally been used in truffle hunts in Europe, primarily because they’re attracted to the male pig pheromones similar to those found in certain types of truffles. What’s the difference between the two hunters? The most significant advantage to using dogs – as well as having the companionship of your friendly canine companion on the hunt – is that while they are excellent truffle hunters, they don’t eat them as do pigs. Another practical consideration is transport: a pooch, unlike a pig, is generally eager to jump into your car’s backseat. –– Monday, January 19 –– NAPA TRUFFLE FESTIVAL MARKETPLACE – FREE Oxbow Public Market, 10am-2pm The lively and popular Festival Marketplace at Oxbow Public Market showcases the local wines, artisanal vendors and specialty food products of the Napa Valley.

When the duo landed their extraordinary slice of Napa heaven in the Oakville AVA – next door to some of the world’s most celebrated wineries, including Silver Oak, PlumpJack, Groth, Gargiulo and Rudd – they were committed to producing handcrafted, beautifully balanced, food-friendly wines, and pairing them with exquisite culinary creations. Then, for good measure, they decided to throw in a little fun, as well. As Duffy explains, “We wanted to fashion a wine country experience that is highly personal. Our wine guides will be with our guests throughout their visit. The wine guide will take you through our culinary gardens, caves and create for you a very individual Napa event, tailored to your specific taste and needs. We want you to walk out the door and say ‘wow, that was lovely!’” B Cellars, the first new winery on the Oakville Cross Road in eighteen years, has all the makings of a dream-like wine country experience including a state-of-the art winery and architecturally stunning tasting room that features panoramic views of Follow us on Twitter @WineCountryTW WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | WINE COUNTRY NEWS Continued their verdant vineyards, a professional, interactive demonstration kitchen, private event spaces opening onto grand courtyards, outdoor tasting terraces and a 15,000-square-foot cave. Visitors to thewinery can choose a variety of tasting experiences. Their primary tour offers a lovely stroll through the picturesque gardens, a swing through the impressive wine production rooms, followed by a walk through the B Cellars’ caves, glass in hand. Following the trek, guests enjoy a seated tasting of B Cellars Flagship blended wine in the Hospitality House. For another great experience, opt for the Private Appellation tasting, at $65 per person, which includes the tour and then a tasting of four Cabernet Sauvignons from the most distinct growing areas in the Napa Valley. Each tasting of current and future release wine is artfully paired with artisan cheese, charcuterie and seasonal garnishes. Guests can also savor B Cellars single-vineyard heritage wines paired with artisan cheeses and charcuterie in the Beckstoffer Heritage Room located within the caves at $95 per person. These wines, made from grapes grown in pioneering grower Andy Beckstoffer’s storied vineyards widely recognized as producing some of the best wines for which the region is known, offer wine lovers the opportunity to experience a truly historic perspective of Napa Valley’s heritage. B Cellars is the only winery in the Napa Valley where guests will be able to experience wines from each of these six storied vineyards such as ToKalon and Dr. Crane vineyards. Says Duffy Keys, “Our belief is that a winemaker, much like a good chef, needs to start with fantastic ingredients.” B Cellars’ wines are expertly guided to maturation by the talented winemaker, Kirk Venge, the second generation of one of the Napa Valley’s winemaking dynasties. While he is following in the footsteps of his father, the renowned winemaker Nils Venge, Kirk has a unique style of his own and a keen understanding of the Napa Valley and all it has to offer. If all of this seems like a bit overwhelming, B Cellars will thoughtfully provide you with a full-service, on-site concierge to assist you with tasting appointments and help you to fully enjoy all that this fabulous wine country destination has to offer. B Cellars is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. by appointment only and features four proprietary blends, as well as Sauvignon Blanc, rosé and eight small-production, vineyard-designate wines, including Caldwell’s Syrah, Dr. Crane Cabernet Sauvignon, To Kalon Cabernet, Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Petite Sirah.

For example, winemakers might use a grape variety they would not normally bottle as a stand-alone wine under their own brand. The grapes may be sourced from a specific part of a single vineyard, or the wine might be aged using a unique barrel regime not regularly employed by the winery. Some of the most novel offerings are produced as joint lots – multiple vintners who collaborate to create a blend exclusively for the Premiere Napa Valley brand. The wines are offered as futures at the auction only to licensed members of the wine trade for resale to their customers and ultra-premium wine collectors. Each bottle is hand-labeled, individually numbered and signed by the winemaker, similar to a limited edition work of fine art. The Premiere Napa Valley barrel tasting and auction on February 21 is the .tS tseW CHARLES KRUG Cucina di Rosa Valley in February 2015. Created solely for the Premiere Napa Valley portfolio and produced in quantities as small as 60 and never more than 240 bottles, the wines will be sold exclusively to members of the wine trade during the nonprofit trade association’s annual barrel tasting and auction. Descriptions of the 225 lots can be viewed at premierenapawines.com “For Premiere Napa Valley, every winemaker crafts a blend that is truly unique from all of the other wines they produce,” notes Michael Scholz of the St. Supéry Estate Vineyards and Winery team that is chairing the 2015 Premiere Napa Valley Steering Committee. “The barrel they create is the only barrel of its kind making Premiere Napa Valley one of the rarest wine brands in the world.” Though reminiscent of how Hospice de Beaune wines are produced, the process is giB More than 90% of the wines are from the highly anticipated 2013 vintage Fifth St CELADON Napa General Store Follow us on Twitter @WineCountryTW WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | NAPA VALLEY Continued culmination of a week rich in wine tasting and educational and professional networking experiences hosted by both the NVV and the vintners who have crafted the wines.

Home to dozens of artisanal boutiques, local-centric food markets, wine tasting rooms and craft breweries, The Barlow truly has something for everyone – much like Woodfour Brewing Company’s eclectic menu and extensive craft beer offerings. Woodfour Brewing Company is the only craft brewery in The Barlow with a local, seasonal menu that is meant to be paired with beer. The array of farmhouse-inspired craft beer is just as eclectic as their delicious lunch and dinner menus. Rightly so, because Executive Chef Aaron Wright works closely with Co-Owner and Brewmaster Seth Wood to develop invigorating dishes that are perfectly tailored to fit the beer styles. “When it comes to food and beer pairing, beer takes a seasonal role and then we complement the beer with dishes that are influenced by the season,” Owner Olav Vier says. Currently, their lunch and dinner menus feature winter root vegetables such as potatoes and beets, alongside dishes with hardy legumes and beans. Creamy cheeses, pickled goodies, flavorful appetizers and diverse salads – all designed to complement the flavors of the beers – make way for the seafood and meat portion of the menu, which is full of arctic char, Dungeness crab, farm chicken, bratwurst and pork belly. “There’s a certain expectation people have when they come to a place like this – a brewery,” Wood states. With a menu that features sophisticated dishes, such as the braised pork belly with sunchoke, apple crumble, chicories and baby leeks, guest expectations are surely exceeded once the food comes to the table. Pair these phenomenal dishes with the nuanced and flavorful selection of craft beers, and you’ve got yourself an authentic “wine country” food and beer pairing www.WineCountryThisWeek.com WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK | SONOMA COUNTY experience. “We really want to put the beer on the table right beside the great food experience. It’s such a familiar concept in the wine industry, but the food and beer experience is mostly unexplored,” Vier says. Until now, Vier was right, but things have changed since Woodfour Brewing Company has stepped onto the scene. “We’re a little different and we want to be,” Vier proudly states. “We want to be a destination spot . . . and inspire conversation – get people talking about it.” With flavorful and exciting matchups like the melted Raclette cheese with yukon gold potatoes, cornichons, parsley and pickled onions alongside the Berliner Weisse, there is certainly a great deal to talk about. This particular dish is wonderfully balanced with the rich, hardy potatoes and creamy melted cheese topped with the tangy pickles and subtly sweet pickled onions. The Berliner Weisse, a beer that is made using a traditional sour mash and Brettanomyces yeast, is the perfect accompaniment to this winter dish. The way the beer and food mingle on the palate, creating synergies and juxtapositions of texture and flavor, is lovely. Another amazing dish, the arctic char with curried cauliflower, beluga lentils and maitake mushrooms, really pairs well with Wood’s mouthwatering Saison. This beer is one of their regulars on tap and is a Sonoma County interpretation of the classic French and Belgian style farmhouse beer. Its creamy body, freshly baked bread flavors and richness make this beer an excellent choice with the tender and juicy arctic char. Chef Wright has seasoned the arctic char perfectly with a nice crispy outside while still maintaining tenderness on the inside; the curried cauliflower and spiced beluga lentils give the beer an extra punch of spiciness on the palate. Together, this dish and the Saison become a pleasurable playground of flavors for the taste buds. Other amazing dishes that paired exceptionally well with specific beers are the heirloom bean cassoulette with the Roger (a West Coast Baltic Stout) and the salad of apple and chicory with the Sonoma Fest (an Oktoberfest Vienna malted beer). With Olav Vier at the helm of this fine food and artisanal craft beer destination, Executive Chef Aaron Wright and Co-Owner and Brewmaster Seth Wood are given the freedom to express their creative innovations in the world of food and drink. There is a true synergy between this team of three and with each dish served alongside each craft beer, guests will surely agree that Woodfour Brewing Company is clearly paving the way in phenomenal food and beer pairing experiences. www.WineCountryThisWeek.com 49 Welcome to SANTA ROSA WINERIES Nine boutique wineries in one fun location TREN TONRD HEALDSBURG TE EL EL N.

Whether visiting for dinner, or stealing away for the night, it’s an ideal Northern California Wine Country retreat. This seaside destination is a place to relax and breathe in brisk, salty air – a short scenic drive from most San Francisco Bay Area cities. A distinctive property The Inn at the Tides’ quaint cluster of guest lodges are tiered along a hillside property, designed to preserve and meld with the coastal surroundings. A majority of the first floor rooms have private patios, where guests often catch a glimpse of deer and other wildlife scampering throughout the grounds. Bodega is lively spot for bird watchers – where hundreds of birds migrate – such as egrets, blue herons, sandpipers and ospreys. Dining, docks and drinks Located at the inn, open for dinner, is the Bay View Restaurant serving “delizioso” Italian cuisine Wednesday through Sunday. It’s fine dining (yet casual dress) boasts sweeping views of the tranquil Bodega harbor. Throughout the year, the Bay View Restaurant hosts its popular Dinner with the Winemaker series. Guests mingle and dine with a guest winemaker on these select nights. Each dinner starts with an optional no-host hors d’oeuvres reception at 6:30 p.m., followed by a sit-down prix fixe dinner at 7 p.m. Each course is paired with wines from the winemaker featured that night, such as: Kosta Browne Winery and Trecini Cellars on January 30, Benziger Family Winery February 13, Vermeil Wines March 20, Ramazzotti Wines April 24 and more. Directly across the highway is the popular The Tides Wharf Restaurant and Bar – part of the Inn at the Tides property. It’s a family-friendly restaurant, gift shop and fish market that’s been a bustling favorite of locals and visitors alike for more than 50 years. Open seven days a week, the restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with panoramic bay views. Find comfort in a bowl of clam chowder, delve hands-first into steaming Cioppino (bib recommended), or crack into fresh-caught crabs during the height of local Dungeness season – typically December through July. (The Tides hosts all-you-can-eat crab feeds January 9, 23, February 6, 20, March 6 and March 13. Don’t miss out!) www.WineCountryThisWeek.com 51 SONOMA COUNTY | WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK Kendall-Jackson’s 10th Annual Chardonnay & Crab Feast January 23 and 24, 6-9 p.m. Kick off the New Year with us at K-J!
