CHILI PEPPER | 8"x 2"x 6" | Price $660 North Bay Gallery exclusive bronze Show Frog for 2017
Renowned Bronze Artist, Tim Cotterill, to Visit Yountville, Napa Valley The world-famous bronze artist, Tim Cotterill – known as Frogman – will be coming to North Bay Gallery on Saturday, July 15 from noon to 3:00 p.m. and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. to unveil his special edition frog sculpture titled, “CHILI PEPPER.” Cotterill, known for his whimsical and popular bronze sculptures, will be at North Bay Gallery to celebrate the release of “CHILI PEPPER,” a special patina frog made exclusively for the gallery. CHILI PEPPER will be a stunning frog done in a firecracker red and gold nitrate finish sitting under a blades of green arched grass. Each sculpture will be signed and numbered with a very limited edition size of only 50 to be made. This is North Bay Gallery’s fifth special edition show frog and will join previous sold out frogs such as Pinot, Zinny, Cabby and Chard done in past years. North Bay Gallery invites all art enthusiasts and Frogman collectors to attend
this special CHILI PEPPER release event where they will have an opportunity to meet the artist. Tim will be signing his sculptures and be available for photographs. In addition to CHILI PEPPER, there will be an extensive portfolio of Tim’s bronze portfolio and also a few coveted rare frogs. Cotterill’s fascination with frogs began in his early childhood, where he grew up chasing them in the woods in Leicester, England. He originally did one-of-a-kind owls sold by Sotheby’s before moving to California to pursue a successful 30+ year career, creating his signature bronzes. Today, Tim’s art can be found in galleries across the US, Europe and most recently in China. He also enjoys building one-of-kind radical three-wheel rocket bikes in his spare time.
Meet Tim Cotterill
Tim Cotterill has become the biggest selling bronze artist in the world today with his elegant, stylized, whimsical bronze frogs and his passionate collectors which span the globe. Tim will celebrate his latest release “Chili Pepper” for a special weekend in Napa. Saturday July 15, 12 pm to 3 pm • Sunday July 16, 11 am to 2 pm

Passion Meets Purpose When Sonoma County local Tim Bucher was growing up on a dairy farm off Westside Road in the heart of Russian River Valley, his fascination all of things mechanical like farm equipment and tractors was from a young age, a passion blended with an inherent love of agriculture and grape-growing. By age 17, he was selling grapes and making wine, serendipitously foreshadowing his later accomplishments in creating Trattore Farms—the stunning 40-acre wine and olive mill estate perched atop a steep hillside in Dry Creek Valley. From the winery’s tasting room terrace, guests are enveloped in sweeping vine-filled vistas spanning the entire valley, all the way up to Lake Sonoma. It’s from a foundation of business acumen garnered in the engineering/technology sector and his commitment to humanitarian work with the Grammy House and FarmAid which has allowed Bucher to fulfill a childhood dream a supporting both land and people—and doing it in one of the most picturesque locations imaginable.
Commitment to Preserving the Future Trattore (“tractor” in Italian) Farms focuses on a singular vision, spending its time and resources on expertly achieving it. Winemaker Ryan Schmaltz, brings fresh winemaking concepts and farms Grenache, Syrah, Mourvédre, Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne offering a point of difference from other producers in the county. The vine yields are kept low to maintain the highest fruit quality, and embraces sustainable farming methods to protect the overall health and integrity of vines. They compost the grape and olive pomace back into the soils and provide habitat for beneficial insects and birds to patrol the vineyards for pests. This holistic approach in the vineyards fully aligns with Bucher’s ecological principles which are put into practice daily by powering with solar energy, recycling their

water through an on-site waste water treatment plant, providing electric car charging stations and supporting local Sonoma County food purveyors through their culinary offerings. Over at the mill, an Italian, customdesigned hammer mill incorporates a traditional stone (for quality) with the modern convenience of automated technology (efficiency, power savings) allowing them to select a specific mill based on olive varietal, ripeness and desired oil style. The farm’s ‘GET YOUR BOOTS DIRTY’ vineyard, orchard and mill tour is the perfect way to see the entire sustainability program in action. You’ll start with a splash of wine, then hop aboard a Kawasaki mule to explore the property and learn about the wine and olive-making process. The tour finishes in the cellar with a full wine and olive oil tasting. [By appointment | 90 minutes | $70/psn, $40/psn club members].

Our philosophy of crafting wines and extra virgin olive oils with a ‘sense of place’ led us to this special site where we knew we could build a state-of-the-art olive mill and winery facility that would exist in harmony with its natural environment. The sustainably-farmed ranch encompasses 15 acres of Rhône-style varietals and 10 acres of heritage olive trees, producing 22 different Italian and Spanish olive varieties. Our people, place and product are a reflection of what this magical setting offers.

Foley Sonoma Bold, free-spirited, rich in fruit, and deep in character. With the warm summer days upon us, it is the perfect time to enjoy Alexander Valley’s charm with a visit to Foley Sonoma. Nestled on a gentle knoll shadowed by the nearby Mayacamas Mountains, Foley Sonoma embodies modern elegance while embracing the natural beauty of its estate vineyards. Purchased by Bill Foley in 2016, Foley Sonoma is dedicated to mixing old-world tradition and modern technology to create limited-production, luxury wines from estate vineyards in the Alexander Valley. One of the most architecturally stunning wineries in Sonoma County, Foley Sonoma is focused on extending a wine country experience that is truly “Quintessential Alexander Valley”. Their state-of-the-art facility was designed to be aesthetically beautiful, sensitive to the environment and in harmony with the landscape. Floorto-ceiling windows offer gorgeous 180-degree views of the surrounding vineyards and the picturesque Mayacama mountain range, while the expansive exterior spaces allow for a secluded and tranquil experience. In fact, the building won the Architectural Design Award for Northern California by AIA. The facility was specifically designed to create small lots of ultra-premium luxury wines from the Estate Vineyard. Guests visiting the winery today can watch the winemaking process in action, viewing barrels as they are racked in the aging cellar and step onto the observation deck to see how grapes enter the crush pad for sorting and de-stemming. 26
Limited-Production, Luxury Wines Foley Sonoma’s core viticulture focus is on the five noble Bordeaux grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. In addition, they produce small-production bottlings of Sangiovese, Sémillon, Sparkling Rosé, Sauvignon Blanc, Tannat, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Zinfandel. In addition to their core offerings, Foley Sonoma has a special Winemaker Series tier of Rosé and Cuvée from the Russian River Valley. These wines are hand selected by the winemaker, Courtney Foley, and made to highlight characteristics that demonstrate a sense of place. The watercolor artwork on the labels illustrates and honors each vineyard. Take a trip to these two beautiful vineyards with each sip of these lovely wines.
Experience the Modern Elegance of Foley Sonoma Foley Sonoma offers a variety of unique tastings, epicurean delights and experiences. The standard tasting takes you through a guided flight of four wines hosted in the tasting room; available daily from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Guests are welcome to walk-in, or make appointments for groups of six or more, $10 per guest.

With Mrs. Mondavi’s passing in September 2016, the winery has renamed the series the “Margrit Mondavi Summer Concert Series” to honor her commitment to music in the Napa Valley. In its 48-year history, the series has raised millions to support a number of Napa Valley-based charitable music organizations. In keeping with this tradition, Robert

Most Calistoga wineries are family-owned, tiny boutique producers of superbly crafted fine wine. Some wineries produce fewer than 1,000 cases and are difficult to come by – unless you attend two upcoming wine tasting events where 30 or more wineries will be pouring their superior wines. This is your chance to discover rare finds that none of your friends have ever heard of. You may have heard of some of the women and men behind these special wines, but possibly not. For example the couple behind 2880 Wines, which annually produces about 600 cases made by 100-point Robert Parker winemaker Peter Heitz, has a charming, yet contradictory, tale to tell about how the wine got its name. Come to the events and ask them about it. The first event, Calistoga Uncorked, is July 20 at the Presidio in San Francisco, and it’s not only the wines that make this event so special. You can purchase the wines right there. Like a wine you just sampled? Buy a bottle…or two…or more! Take advantage of the opportunity and convenience because lots of these wineries don’t have tasting rooms, and are only available in select locations. Come join us, enjoy some cheese, charcuterie and specialty sweet treats made by a Calistoga native who makes her family-secret recipe of toffee. Calistoga Uncorked is from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 20, held in the Golden Gate Club at the Presidio where you can take in the views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Take advantage of paying only one tasting fee to try dozens of special wines in one location, and take advantage of the early-bird discount of $20 off the at-thedoor-entry fee. Tickets purchased in advance are just $55, and $75 at the door. No special codes to enter to get the discounted ticket, just buy now. Participating wineries include: 2880, Amici Cellars, Baldacci Vineyards, Barlow Vineyards, Bennett Lane Winery, Bragg Vineyards, Canard Vineyard, Chateau de Vie, Chateau Montelena, Davis Estates, Fairwinds Estate Winery, Hindsight Wines, Huge Bear Wines, Jack Brooks Vineyard, Jax Vineyards, Jericho Canyon Vineyard, Jones Family Vineyards, Kenefick Ranch Vineyards, Knighton Family Vineyards, Lava Vine, Next Door Wines, Sebright Cellars, Storybook Mountain Vineyards, Summers Homewood Estate Winery, Winery The Grade, Tom Eddy Winery, Twomey Cellars, Von Strasser, Voros Cellars, and Weppler Vineyards. The next event, the second annual Calistoga Wine Experience, is another tasting that will be held in the shade-dappled, newly renovated Pioneer Park in Calistoga, on Saturday, September 9, from 2 to 6 p.m., a day before Calistoga’s famed Harvest Table. There you’ll find 40 wineries – some you’ll recognize from Calistoga Uncorked, and some new ones – live music in the gazebo, light bites and a whole lot of fun. Check CalistogaWinegrowers.com for more details and tickets.

ON THECOUNTRY COVER <<NEWS Wine ThisThis Week WINE <<Country Wine Country This SONOMA COUNTY << Wine Country WeekWeek
VJB CELLARS Italy’s Gracious Hospitality Embodied At VJB Vineyards & Cellars, a large piazza (courtyard) reminiscent of a quaint little village in southern Italy is surrounded on all sides by rustic brick and tile-roofed buildings boasting a micro-collection of locally owned eateries and shopping nooks. And, the best part is…no passport required to get there. The family-owned winery, deli and marketplace is located in the town of Kenwood, in Sonoma Valley, and is home to the winery’s tasting room whose collection of limited-release wines are only sold in the tasting room or through their wine club. Since opening the winery in its new location in 2012, it has quickly become a top destination for visitors both local and afar who are looking for the warm hospitality synonymous with the old-world traditions of Italy. Originally from Bonito in the Campania region, winery owners Vittorio and Maria Belmonte, along with their son, Henry, oversee all aspects of the operations for the winery and are dedicated to showcasing more than 15 Italian varietals such as Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Barbera, Nero d’Avola, Brunello and Primitivo as well as some lesser-seen grapes in California like Sagrantino, Aglianico, 46
Fresia, Dolcetto and Negro Amaro.

Wellington Cellars — A New Addition To The VJB Family Having established themselves as a destination for Italian varietals in wine country, VJB has recently welcomed Wellington Cellars into the fold, a 2,000-case boutique producer of estate French varietals like Cabernet, Merlot, Chardonnay, Rhône-style blends and aromatic whites. Guests to Wellington’s tasting room in Glen Ellen will taste how leveraging terroir-driven vineyard practices and traditional winemaking techniques allows the best of each varietal’s characteristics to be extracted from each vineyard site. Soon the winery will be offering guests vineyard tours so they can experience first-hand the importance of site influences on the

final blends. The tasting room is open daily from 10 a.m.to 5 p.m. (no appointment required) and offers both Wellington Cellars and VJB Cellars wines to taste. They also accept group tastings by appointment. To reserve, email info@wellingtoncellars.com or call (707) 934-8604. “We’ve worked really hard here at VJB to create a place for the community to explore and enjoy Italian varietals so we’re very excited to continue this exploration of fine wines through Wellington Cellars’ Bordeaux and Rhône-style blends along with their Old Vine Zinfandels. Wellington has a long, rich history in this county. The fact that they specialize in French varietals and Old-Vine Zinfandel with vines dating as far back as 1882, makes this coming together of two wineries, both of whom are steeped in old-world traditions and are producing at the pinnacle of their regional focus, a natural fit. We’re so pleased to offer our guests what we consider some of the best representations of vineyard-driven reds like Cabernet, Merlot, Grenache and Syrah and aromatic Rhône-style whites like Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne” says Lindsay Evans McGorry, Vice President of VJB Cellars and Wellington Cellars. << BY TANYA SEIBOLD

The Valley of The Moon Music Festival Celebrates “Schumann’s World” Featured artists include Elizabeth Blumenstock, Nikki Einfeld, Jennifer Frautschi, Cynthia Freivogel, Eric Hoeprich, Monica Huggett, Jeffrey LaDeur, Kyle Stegall, Tanya Tomkins & Eric Zivian The musicians of the Valley of the Moon Music Festival will return to the Hanna Boys Center in Sonoma for their annual summer event. This year, the festival celebrates the world of Robert Schumann over three consecutive weekends, July 16 through 30, juxtaposing the composer’s own compositions with chamber works by composers he idolized and championed. Making their festival debut are violinists Jennifer Frautschi and pianist Jeffrey LaDeur. Artists returning this year include Liana Bérubé, Elizabeth Blumenstock, Nikki Einfeld, Cynthia Freivogel, Eric Hoeprich, Monica Huggett, Carla Moore, Holly Piccoli, Kyle Stegall, and Festival Directors Tanya Tomkins and Eric Zivian. Valley of the Moon Music Festival is the first and only organization in the U.S. devoted exclusively to presenting the chamber music of the Classical and Romantic eras, performed on instruments built when the music was written. Highlights of the Festival include the opening concert on Sunday, July 16, featuring Mozart's Clarinet Quintet with virtuoso clarinetist Eric Hoeprich. In addition, Hoeprich and lyric coloratura Nikki Einfeld will perform music by Schumann, Chopin and the Danish composer Gade, whom Schumann deemed unjustly neglected and “deserving of a laurel crown.” Joining Hoeprich and Einfeld on this date are Blumenstock and Piccoli on violins, Moore on viola, Tomkins on cello and Zivian on fortepiano. Kyle Stegall, a tenor who was received with great enthusiasm in the 2016 festival, returns for the second weekend. On Saturday, July 22, he performs songs and arias by Schumann and Chopin, including rarely performed selections from Chopin’s collection of Polish songs. Chopin and Bach were two composers Schumann admired above all, and this concert’s program includes Bach’s seminal Chaconne for solo violin performed by Blumenstock; several keyboard works by Bach, Chopin and Liszt performed by Zivian and LaDeur; and the Chopin Cello Sonata performed by LaDeur and Tomkins. The following day’s concert takes its title, “Fair Queen of my Heart,” from a verse in Schumann’s Liederkreis referring to the fatal power of love. Stegall and Zivian take the spotlight in the first half of the concert in a recital of songs by Clara Schumann, Fanny Mendelssohn and Liszt. Rounding out the program is Mozart’s Piano Quartet in E-flat, performed by the festival’s apprentices. The apprentices, comprising a handpicked group of talented young chamber musicians with an interest in historic instruments, will join the festival’s seasoned artists for each of the final four concerts. The third weekend of the festival welcomes ace violinists Huggett and Freivogel, and in the final concert two-time Grammy nominee and Avery Fisher career grant recipient Jennifer Frautschi in a rare performance on gut strings. This weekend features three 50
concerts including a matinee on Sunday, July 30 at 11 a.m. On Saturday, July 29, the Festival explores the chamber music of three composers Schumann championed: Beethoven, Schubert and Brahms. Huggett and Freivogel are joined by Piccoli, Moore, Tomkins and Zivian in a program including Schubert’s Trio in E-flat, a Beethoven Violin Sonata and Brahms’ Sextet in G major. The following day’s matinee at 11 a.m., titled “Only Genius Entirely Understands Genius,” explores the music of Schumann’s wife, Clara, a piano prodigy, in her Romances for Violin and Piano, followed by one of Schumann’s own String Quartets and Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio in D minor. The festival comes to a close with a second concert on Sunday, July 30, at 4 p.m. Niccolò Paganini’s famous Caprice No. 24 in A minor for solo violin, performed by Frautschi, sets the tone for the works to follow. LaDeur performs solo keyboard works by Liszt and Schumann, and the concert ends with Brahms’ masterful Piano Quintet in F minor. At the conclusion of each concert, audience members are invited to mingle with the artists over a complimentary glass of wine on the patio of the Hanna Center. Among this year’s partner wineries are Bar None's Canyon, Benziger Family Winery, Buena Vista Winery, Idell Family Vineyards, Kivelstadt Cellars, McIlroy Cellars and Meadowcroft Wines. Special events include a post-concert discussion from the stage led by KDFC radio’s Rik Malone at the opening concert on July 16. On July 30, there will be a picnic lunch catered by the Girl and the Fig Restaurant with a conversation led by Harvard musicologist Kate van Orden, titled “The Composer as Journalist.” Admission to each concert is $45 including all fees, with a 50% discount to individuals under the age of 30. Festival programming is subject to change. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit valleyofthemoonmusicfestival.org.
