Chateau Adoré Rounds Out Another Year It’s been 21 years since Chateau Adore opened its tasting room off Old Redwood Highway in Santa Rosa. In that time, the family-owned winery has won numerous international and national awards, including honors from the Sonoma County Harvest Festival and the San Francisco Chronicle, created three labels and welcomed visitors from around the world to tour and taste at its estate vineyard and tasting room.
Celebrate with Wine Specials
Owner James Wong is rolling out wine specials to help celebrate this anniversary Visitors can enjoy new vintages of the Estate Chardonnay and Estate Pinot Noir, as well as half price on a third bottle when buying two bottles of any of wine in Chateau Adore’s library. The extensive library offerings include Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Merlot, and a red and a white blend. Wong sources his grapes from throughout California’s premier wine-growing regions, including Napa Valley and the Sierra Foothills.
Don’t Miss A visit to Chateau Adore would not be complete without a taste of its Red Onion wine, the only one of its kind, according to Wong, made commercially in the United States. Often homemade in Korean and Japanese culture, the red onion wine is said to have healing properties, including relief from migraines, more restful sleep, relief from joint pain and lowering high blood pressure and cholesterol. Wong says if visitors bring a bottle of this wine back to their mothers, she will certainly appreciate the gift.
Daily Tasting As part of its anniversary celebration, Chateau Adore is open for tastings Thursday through Sunday from noon to 5:00 p.m. Tastings on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are available by appointment. Visitors can come into the tasting room to learn about the wines and taste, then take a bottle out to the arbor-covered patio to enjoy the Sonoma County sunshine and surrounding vineyards. Wong said vineyard tours area available to visitors upon request.

Chateau Adoré specializes in creating private labels for boutique wineries as well as for individual special occasions, such as birthdays, weddings and anniversaries. Many of these private labels are on display in the tasting room. If you’re feeling like marking a special occasion with customized wine, Wong can handily give you ideas. The winery will also deliver wine anywhere in the world.
A Convenient Picnic Spot Not too many wineries are as close to a city center as Chateau Adore, which makes a visit to the winery convenient and enjoyable. Chateau Adore welcomes picnics on its patio. Just a few miles from downtown Santa Rosa, grab a picnic lunch from one of the many restaurants or delis and take it up the road to enjoy the serenity and wine of Chateau Adore. >> BY SHOSHANA HEBSHI

POPE VALLEY WINERY Welcome Take a left and find yourself transported back to a simpler time. As you turn off the Silverado trail away from the hustle and bustle of main stream Napa Valley you will see buildings dissipate and give way to undulating rows of vineyards dotted with farmhouses and the occasional family ranch. Once you get to Pope Valley Winery you will see the 100-year-old oak tree that welcomes you to the property and entrance to the historic cellar.
A century later, the Eakle Family—long time Pope Valley and Napa natives—purchased the winery. While the winery’s roots go back to the before the 1800s, the next generation of Eakle’s, siblings David Eakle and Diana Eakle Hawkins take pride in bringing their award-winning wines into the twenty-first century while preserving the Winery’s authenticity and heritage.
A Bit of History The winery is like a living time capsule and a walk down the winding road of historic winemaking. In the early 1860s, with dreams of striking it rich, Ed Haus emigrated from Switzerland with his three brothers to join in the California Gold Rush. In 1897, Ed founded The Burgundy Wine & Olive Factory. Today the winery is known as Pope Valley Winery. It took the Haus family eight years to dig the cave and construct the winery that is still used today. Constructed as a gravity flow winery, Pope Valley Winery was built into the hillside and sits three stories high. The cellar is dug into the shale hillside and held up by century-old, hand-hewn redwood timbers. The timbers which were used in a neighboring mine during the Quick Silver boom were transported by horse-drawn carriage to construct the Pope Valley Winery. Through the years, the winery has endured a colorful past with various family proprietors and a brief stint of bootlegging during prohibition. 24

A Picnic, A Stroll, A Game and Amazing Varietals So join them in the tasting room and when the weather is sunny outside enjoy the picnic tables, bocce court and sip on amazing hard-to-find varietals, such as Chenin Blanc, Sangiovese and their own proprietary blends such as Fault Line and Tre Uve followed by the rich, velvety Cabernets and finish it all off with a Zinfandel Port that’s been barrel aged for over 12 years. In the crisp spring weather, bundle up and take a stroll among the crimson vines, or enjoy a lunch you bring along at one of the picnic tables surrounded by the natural beauty and quiet countryside. Tour the historic cave and take in its unique craftsmanship while walking amongst the hand hewn beams and tall shale walls. Continue to walk around the grounds taking in the craftsmanship of long ago with the original late 1800s buildings all built straddling the quiet Haus Creek. The original farmhouse graces the north east side of the property complete with stone root cellar that was used to house goods during Prohibition. Though Pope Valley Winery is off the beaten path, this is the stop you won’t want to miss and well worth the extra drive. In a tasting room where you’re treated more like a friend than a customer, you’ll enjoy an experience you won’t soon forget and taste wines you’ll dream about coming back to.

THE HESS COLLECTION “Wine, Elevated”
The Hess story has always been about the quest to elevate the wine experience – from the planting of mountain vineyards, to sustainable farming practices, investment in state of the art winemaking equipment and a winery visitor experience featuring a world class contemporary art museum. Donald Hess established his first Mount Veeder vineyard in 1978, the beginning of The Hess Collection Winery in Napa Valley. He founded the winery with the steadfast belief that quality and goodness are the best business practices. The Hess Collection now owns more than 1,000 acres of prime California vineyards, including 700 in Napa Valley. The Hess Collection site was established as a winery in the 1860’s in what is now the Mount Veeder Appellation of the Napa Valley. The original winery on Mount Veeder was hewn from native stone in 1903 and houses part of an art collection shown in museums worldwide, making the Hess Collection the premier showcase for Hess’ “two passions under one roof.” He has tremendous pride in everything the family has built and this pride is symbolized through the Lion which appears on every wine from the Hess Collection. The Hess family credo is “Live each day with the heart and courage of the Lion.” “The Romans believed that good grapes are grown on the hills,” says Hess. “I saw that the soils on Mount Veeder were deep, volcanic, rocky soils. These are the very best conditions for growing berries that are smaller and more concentrated, which leads to a structured, powerful and complex wine.” The wines cultivated at The Hess Collection demonstrate the distinctive qualities 28

of the individual vineyards, including the unique qualities of high altitude grapes. Today the visitor’s experience includes excursions out into the vineyard and culinary offerings where our Executive Chef pairs the Mt. Veeder Wines with estate grown ingredients to show case the flavor profiles, terroir, and uniqueness of the Mt. Veeder AVA.
Interesting Facts about Mt. Veeder AVA • Hess played a major role in the formation of Mt. Veeder AVA. • Though the AVA was established 1993, the area has produced age-worthy wines since the 1860s.
Follow us on Twitter @WineCountryTW
• It’s the largest AVA within Napa Valley, but nature has limited production to just 1.3% of Napa Valley’s grapes. • Mt. Veeder AVA has the longest growing season in Napa. • Yields are exceptionally low (usually 2 to 2.5 tons per acre for Cabernet Sauvignon), about half the Napa Valley average. • Steep slopes require almost all of the work be done by hand. • There’s a wide range of micro-climates due to the many sharp curves and exposures in the mountain. • Mt. Veeder grows the most grape varieties of the mountain AVAs.
The Hess Collections recipe of art and wine brings about elevated exclusive experiences. Here is a sampling of the experiences available with advanced reservations: Vine to Table Tour and Luncheon: This experience begins with a guided vineyard walk through the historic Mont La Salle vineyard, exploring a range of Napa Green sustainable practices. After which the Hess Collection Executive Chef Chad Hendrickson will present you with a farm-to-table three-course luncheon featuring menu items from the winery’s culinary gardens, paired with Hess Collection Napa Valley wines from estate vineyards on Mt. Veeder. Tour of the Palate: This docent led tour features works from Donald Hess’ private contemporary art collection, and pairs three Mt. Veeder wines with three exquisite culinary creations from The Hess Collection’s Executive Chef. Elevated Small Bites: This special offering is currently available on Sundays.

The Tedeschi Family Winery is a very small, 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 Homewood and single focus of Emil’s Winery two sons 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 a variety of foods, good company, and from your wine cellar for many years”, says Mario Tedeschi, Winemaker. Together, with Emilio acting as General Manager and winemakers Mario Tedeschi and David Sundberg making the wine, they have sought out and committed to handcrafting oldworld style wines from several small and neighboring vineyards to produce Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Petite Sirah,

Wine Country This Week >> NAPA VALLEY
A Celebration of Wine Country’s Best Food and Wine to Support Make-A-Wish For the last 18 years, Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area and Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards have been teaming up on an event that not only helps children suffering from life-threatening illnesses, but that offers a wide sampling of the best food and wine being produced in Sonoma County. “Every year this event highlights not only the region’s incredible wine and food, but also the many volunteers and supporters who live in the area and help make wishes for local children come true,” said Make-A-Wish CEO, Betsy Biern. Wishes in Wine Country will be held on Saturday, May 20 at Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards and will feature over 40 restaurants and wineries at the Grand Tasting on the Lawn. From 2:00 to 5:30 p.m., guests will sample wines on the lawns surrounding Sonoma-Cutrer’s world class croquet courts. Included in the Tasting is Sonoma-Cutrer, who will be pouring their award-winning Chardonnay. This year’s participants also include Valdez, De la Montanya and Wilson, among others. Tasting guests can also sample signature hors d’oeuvres from celebrated local restaurants. This year these include Valette, El Dorado Kitchen, John Ash & Co. and more. Guests will also have the opportunity to play croquet or enjoy the view from one of the courtside cabanas. As in previous years, guests will find a variety of unique getaways, wines and experiences at the silent auction. The evening continues from 5:30-9:30 p.m. with the Sunset Dinner, where guests enjoy a three-course dinner on the SonomaCutrer Terrace. Dinner will be prepared by local culinary talent and will be paired with exceptional wines from the area. During dinner, guests can participate in a short live auction that has been curated to feature the most hard-to-come-by items and experiences. All proceeds benefit Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area. Tickets are now on sale for the Grand Tasting ($150 per person) and The Sunset Dinner ($300 per person and up). For more information go to wishesinwinecountry.com or call (415) 982-9474.
About Make-A-Wish® Greater Bay Area: Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. In 2017 Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area celebrates 33 years fulfilling magical wishes. During its first year of operation, in 1984, the chapter granted 27 wishes. Now one of the largest chapters nationwide, the Greater Bay Area grants over 375 wishes per year and has granted nearly 8,000 wishes to date. The chapter covers 17 Northern California counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, Marin, Monterey, San Benito, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, Siskiyou, Solano and Sonoma. The goal of Make-A-Wish is to grant a wish to every eligible child in its territory. Anyone can suggest a child for a wish.

WINE COUNTRY NEWS << Wine Country This Week
Huge Bear Wines Ursa Gigantes and Pork Ragu with Polenta! They say big flavors call for a big wine. And that’s exactly what you can expect from this mouth-watering Pork Ragu with Grilled Polenta and the 2013 Huge Bear Ursa Gigantes – a Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot blend. As our days get busier as the weather gets warmer, this easy-to-prepare slow-cooker ragu is perfect for spring and summer. Herbal notes like thyme, rosemary and bay from the pork will fill your house and cause your stomach to stir well before dinner time. As any good cook will tell you, choose a wine to cook with that you would serve with the finished meal. And this lush, fruit-laden Cabernet blend happens to be a perfect choice for both. The canned tomatoes and an addition of wine during the braising process keeps the dish from feeling too heavy, lending a touch of acidity to the finished sauce. For more bold tasting recipes that never shy away from the big flavors of Huge Bear wines, visit their website hugebearwines.com or, stop in to their tasting room located in the historic bank building in downtown Calistoga at 1373 Lincoln Avenue to sample their entire range of red and white small-production wines.
Varietals Rosé, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Red Blend, Cabernet Franc
“Come in, wine is open, and it’s awesome.” 1373 LINCOLN AVENUE, CALISTOGA OPEN DAILY 10AM-5PM 707-341-3414 HUGEBEARWINES.COM INFO@HUGEBEARWINES.COM 40
PORK RAGU WITH GRILLED POLENTA (SERVES 6) Ingredients • 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt), cut into 3 pieces • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil • 1 large onion, finely chopped • 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped • 1 6-ounce can tomato paste • 1/2 cup 2013 Huge Bear Ursa Gigantes • 1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes • 4 sprigs fresh thyme • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary • 2 dried bay leaves • 1 tube, 24 ounces, prepared polenta, cut into ½-inch slices Preparation Heat oil in crock-pot on high. Add onion and garlic to pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is starts to brown and caramelize, about 8-12 minutes. Add tomato paste, stirring occasionally until slightly darkened in color, about 5-8 minutes. Add wine and cook until reduced by about half, about 5-8 minutes. Add canned tomatoes, crushing with your hands as you ago, then add thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves; stir in 2 cups of water. Season pork with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium. Cook pork, turning often until evenly brown, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to crock-pot along with pan drippings. Reduce heat to low and cook 6-8 hours. Once cooked thoroughly the pork is falling-apart tender and the sauce is thickened. Using two forks, break up pork into pieces or shred it (your choice!); taste and season with salt and pepper. Slice polenta and brush lightly with oil. Grill 2-3 minutes on each side to score and warm the slices. Top with warm Ragu. Serve with 2013 Ursa Gigantes. Enjoy!

Award-Winning Artisan Wines
16th Annual Children of Vineyards Workers Scholarship Fund Gala
A “Must Do” Food & Wine Experience!
This year’s CVWSF annual fundraising gala will be held on Saturday, June 3, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Soda Rock Winery in Healdsburg, California. With the generous support of donors, CVWSF will help fund the future for students with one or more parents employed as a Sonoma County vineyard worker, who are seeking to further their education. In 2017, Wilson Artisan Wineries hopes to award more than $60,000 in scholarships to deserving students. Gala attendees will be greeted with passed hors d’oeuvres as they meander through the silent auction while sipping current release wines from the Wilson Artisan Wineries. Guests will be invited to a formal three-course wine pairing dinner complete with an amuse bouche, bistro filet and chocolate caramel

Cochon Tasting Bar The Cochon Tasting Bar nestled in the heart of downtown Sonoma allows visitors to explore many unusual varietals and wines not often found in wine country. The tasting bar features flights, wines by the taste and by the glass. Wines are handcrafted in small lots and varietals include wines from the south of France, the Iberian Peninsula and unique vineyard sites sourced in Sonoma, Napa and California. Brands featured include Odisea, Cochon and Gardienne des Vignes. In 2004, longtime wine industry friends Adam Webb and Mike Kuenz, made their first handshake deal to buy grapes from two rows in an Old Vine Grenache vineyard in Amador County, and so began their winemaking odyssey.

Fun Fact The name Cochon, is the loving French word for hog, and it is also featured in the winemaking process. During initial trials with Rhône grape varieties experimented with larger French oak barrels more typical of the Rhône region and not commonly used in California wine country. The large, unique shaped hogshead barrels, nicknamed “hogs” showed particularly positive results with Syrah, which yielded rounder, softer textured and more elegant wines. The result is this collection of small-production California Rhône wines raised exclusively in French oak Hogsheads. >> BY BONNIE ZIMMERMANN

Originally, the focus of Odisea was on making Spanish-styled wines from the best California Spanish varietal vineyards they could find. Adam found some amazing Albarino, Tempranillo, Verdejo, Graciano and Garnacha along the way from growers that shared their passion for Rhône varieties and had taken the chance, on these lesser known grapes.

Lula Cellars announces the release of 2014 Docker Hill Pinot Noir This Mendocino County Winery Introduces a New Pinot Noir to their Repertoire; participates in Anderson Valley Winegrowers Association’s Annual Pinot Noir Festival: May 19-21. Lula Cellars— a limited production, ultra-premium winery located in the Deep End of Anderson Valley—is pleased to announce the release of their newest wine, the 2014 Docker Hill Pinot Noir, in conjunction with the release of three additional 2014 vintages: the 2014 Mendocino Pinot Noir, the 2014 Costa Vineyard Pinot, the 2014 Peterson Vineyard Pinot Noir. Additionally, Lula Cellars is pleased to be participating in the 20th Annual Pinot Noir Festival, put on by the Anderson Valley Winegrowers Association from May 19-21, and hosting the festival’s Casual BBQ on the Lula Cellars events lawn on Friday, May 19. • The 2014 Docker Hill Pinot Noir ($50) is the first vintage off the Docker Hill Vineyard and was planted in 2010. Located in Comptche, a mountain town located eight miles southeast of Mendocino, this vineyard sits above the morning fog allowing the grape’s ripening process to begin much earlier than vines that lay among the fog on the valley floor, thus producing a varietal that’s robust in concentration of color and flavor. Made from a blend of five superior clones, each harvested and fermented separately to maximize its unique character, the 2014 Docker Hill Pinot Noir is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, then blended and aged for another six months to produce a deep, rich wine with hints of dried fruit such as currant and blackberry. This big and bold Pinot pairs well with heartier dishes such as Beef Bourguignon. This wine can be enjoyed now or can rest for another three to five years to develop greater complexity.
Other new releases include: • The 2014 Costa Vineyard Pinot Noir ($45) – This 2014 vintage marks the third release of this single vineyard source for Lula Cellars. The deep-rooted vines from the Costa vineyard take on earthy soil characteristics that produce intensely flavored grapes for a wine that is silky yet offers great structure and classic aromatics of tea and rose petal. This opulent Pinot Noir’s long, sumptuous finish is delightful with any beef dish and pairs exceptionally well with sautéed mushrooms. While suitable for drinking now, this wine will continue to develop greater complexity over the next three to five years. • The 2014 Mendocino Pinot Noir ($45) – The 2014 vintage marks the seventh release of Lula Cellar’s Mendocino Pinot Noir. Blended from grapes from the winery’s Peterson and Costa vineyards located just above sea level at the Mendocino coast, this varietal is a beautiful aromatic, flavorful and balanced wine that is a result of the vineyard’s marine-influenced climate and proximity to the Pacific Ocean. The grapes from the Costa vineyards give the wine its fruitiness while the grapes from the Peterson vineyards

provides its beautiful ruby garnet color. Rich and vibrant on the plate, hints of cranberry and cherry flavors are framed by aromas of anise and fennel. Delicious to drink now with chicken, pork, lamb or beef, this regal, cool-climate Pinot noir will reveal itself with greater complexity from another 3-5 years of bottle age. • The 2014 Peterson Vineyard Pinot Noir ($45) – this varietal is the winery’s premium Pinot Noir and is sold exclusively to wine club members. Its four-clone blend produces a beautiful deep ruby-garnet color with aromas of bay leaf and thyme. Succulent plum and Bing cherry fruit leads to a long, flavorful finish on the palate. While this rich and vibrant Pinot Noir is ready to serve at your next dinner party, it will also continue to develop greater complexity with another three to five years of bottle aging. Awarded a Gold medal at the 2017 Press Democrat North Coast Wine Challenge (92 point rating).
Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Festival Lula Cellars kick-offs the Pinot Noir Festival weekend by hosting a Casual BBQ and an evening filled with great food and wine on May 19. Attendees can mingle with the winemakers and taste Pinot Noirs from near and far while noshing on some amazing BBQ from Chef David LaMonica and listening to live music blues and rock-n-roll. Event starts at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $75 and non-refundable but may be transferred if unable to attend after purchase.
