Wine or Spirits, Anyone?

e’ve been discussing the idea of having a special issue showcasing the local wine and distillery scene for quite some time. A few years ago, we published a brewery issue that received a lot of attention. In this issue, we are proud to be able to profile a variety of local wineries and distilleries in our First Annual Wine & Spirits Guide. Before we could put together a special Wine & Spirits issue, we had to do some research and a lot of homework. As you could imagine, this project involved visiting many local wineries and distilleries. We encountered very enthusiastic proprietors who were eager to give us tours, explain their processes, and tell us about the history of their establishment and their personal journey. And then there was the wine and spirits sampling – of course we had to sample the products personally! What kind of research project wouldn’t involve sampling? It just seemed like the polite thing to do. We were surprised to learn that there are wineries and distilleries in just about every corner of San Diego County. While most of the distilleries have an urban feel, the wineries were a bit more diverse. There are urban wine tasting rooms that do a fantastic job of sharing their wine. There are small wineries and large wineries. Country wineries and city wineries. Wineries with their own vineyards, and wineries that have offsite vineyards. The bottom line is that there are all types of establishments, and all of them are definitely worth a visit. Derrick Breaux The ZCode Team would like to thank all the local wineries Publisher and distilleries that took the time to meet with us and open their doors (and bottles). And we would like to give a special shout out to the wineries and distilleries that shared our vision and chose to participate in this first Wine & Spirits issue. There wouldn’t have been an issue without these participants, so be sure to put them on your short list to visit (and tell them that ZCode Magazines sent you). Until next time… Cheers!

All the best, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

Cathedral Catholic High School Continues a Strong Legacy of Faith, Character, and Achievement by LAINEY KRAL | photos provided by Cathedral Catholic High School

athedral Catholic High School’s (CCHS) core values of faith, knowledge, character, and responsibility have guided the development of high-achieving, well-rounded leaders for over 60 years. The CCHS legacy has deep roots, though the name is only 13 years old. Cathedral Girls High School merged with University San Diego High School (UNI) in

1970 on UNI’s Linda Vista Campus. UNI transitioned to the current CCHS Campus in Carmel Valley in 2005 and took on the new name of Cathedral Catholic High School. “No matter what campus you were on, once you become a Don, you’re always a Don,” said CCHS President Mr. Stevan Laaperi. “The Dons’ legacy has never been stronger. Over 50 alumni are among the CCHS team of

administrators, faculty, coaches, and staff.” The professional staff is well qualified to uphold that legacy. Most teachers have a master’s degree or higher in the subject they teach, and the entire staff strives to model the values of a Catholic faith community. The school is accredited by the Western Catholic Educational Association and the Western Association of Schools and SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT

Facilities include 75 classrooms, 12 science labs, two computer labs, a robotics lab, a ceramics studio, a music room, a lecture hall, several special-use classrooms, world-class athletic facilities, a library, a lecture hall, a chapel and meditation garden – there’s a place for every student to discover their passion. Over 70 percent of CCHS students participate in one or more of the school’s 80-plus teams. “Whether you are an athlete, love to act, or have a passion for serving others, at Cathedral Catholic you gain the confidence to make a difference not only in your life but in the world around you,” said Kate, a graduate from the Class of 2017. Nicole, another recent graduate, agreed: “There is an unparalleled wealth of opportunities, and a strong support system in the students and faculty as part of the Catholic community.” 

Dia del Sol Supports UCP San Diego photo by Tim Otto Photography

The Beach & Country Guild hosted over 200 guests at the 49th Annual Dia del Sol luncheon at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar in October, raising $220,000 for United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of San Diego. The “Age of Aquarius”-themed event included silent and live auctions, gourmet lunch, a GapKids fashion show featuring kids living with cerebral palsy, and a men’s and women’s fashion show. Kimberly Hunt of 10News served as the mistress of ceremonies. “We are so fortunate to have such a hard-working group so committed to our cause, year after year,” said Guild President Deanna Murphy. “Dia del Sol is truly a collaborative labor of love for everyone involved. As the sole external fundraising entity supporting UCP San Diego, we fully understand that responsibility and are honored to do what we can for the organization and our neighbors in San Diego living with cerebral palsy.” Learn more at www.beachandcountry.org.

Paws 4a Cause Fundraiser “Holli”day…Anyday! and the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe partnered up to host Paws 4a Cause to benefit Breast Cancer Angels in October. More than 75 pet parents and their pets attended the event, which featured hors d’oeuvres, signature “Angel-tini” cocktails, vendors, and a live demo from San Diego dog trainer and founder of Performance K9 Training David Greene and his competition German Shepherd, Force. The event raised approximately $2,000 for Breast Cancer Angels, which provides financial assistance to San Diegans in need while undergoing breast cancer treatments. “Holli”day…Anyday! is a philanthropic platform led by local philanthropist Holli Lienau, designed to support select Southern California nonprofits by playing and paying it forward with food, friends, and fun. Beneficiaries include Southern California Bulldog Rescue, Shelter to Soldier, Smart Farms, Bali Street Dog Rescue Squad, Pound Wishes, Breast Cancer Angels, and FACE Foundation. Learn more at www.hollidayanyday.com.

NCDA’s “Dream” Showcase Local dance studio North County DanceArts, Inc. (NCDA) recently presented its annual dance showcase, titled “Dream,” at Canyon Crest Academy’s Proscenium Theater. The showcase was presented in three performances over two days, featuring a variety of dance styles from ballet, tap, jazz, and hip hop to pointe, contemporary, lyrical, and acro dance. Dancers ranged from three years old to adults in all levels of dance, with original choreography by NCDA’s professional instructors. “This entire show bumps you into another stratosphere of performance excellence,” said Steve and Joan Shirley in a review of the show for the San Diego Theatre Review. For 38 years, NCDA has been known as a training ground for many highly visible public personalities in the entertainment world, including television personality Mario Lopez, actress Taryn Manning, and Tony Award winner Karil Kulish, among many others.

RSFCC 25th Annual Golf Classic The Rancho Santa Fe Community Center (RSFCC) hosted its 25th Annual “All Fore the Community” Golf Classic in late October at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. The tournament featured an 18-hole scramble and included a putting contest, buffet lunch, tee prizes, and an “All Fore Fun” after party with a cocktail reception, three-course dinner, hosted bar, awards ceremony, and silent and live auctions. All proceeds from the tournament benefited the RSFCC and its community programs, which include enrichment classes for children and adults, youth after-school care, holiday camps, sports, and more. The Golf Classic is among the RSFCC’s major fundraisers throughout the year, in addition to Casino Night in January and the annual Gala in the spring. Discover more at www.rsfcc.org.

Teens Create Peaceful Connections Seven students from Pacific Ridge School participated in a peacebuilding summit with nonprofit Hands of Peace over the summer. The students met with Israeli and Palestinian teens who stayed with local host families, each day participating in facilitated dialogue sessions to create connections and break down stereotypes. The group also bonded by painting murals, doing a ropes course, and visiting with students near the United States-Mexico border. Each summer Hands of Peace brings a group of Jewish-Israeli, Palestinian Citizens of Israel, and Palestinian teenagers to San Diego and Chicago for a 19-day, dialogue-based experience, as well as with a comparable number of American teens from Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and other faith backgrounds. The program teaches team-building and leadership skills, helps the participants learn about different cultures and religions, guides them in learning about the conflict from different points of view, and encourages them to take action to incorporate peacebuilding into their personal lives.

Teachers Are Mentors at Paciﬁc Ridge School

eenagers today are coming of age during a time of great technological innovation. While technology holds endless potential for improving our lives, it comes with significant drawbacks, especially for adolescents. Teens seek out communities online, but may be losing the opportunity to grow from deeper forms of human connection. At Carlsbad’s Pacific Ridge School, teachers make these deep connections with their students. They are more than academic educators, they’re mentors. With an average class size of 15, an 8:1 student to teacher ratio, and robust co-curricular programming, teachers have the time and opportunity to develop strong bonds with students in grades 7 through 12. Pacific Ridge teachers serve in multiple roles: as academic advisors, service learning facilitators, coaches, travel companions, and more. “We interact with our students in so many different ways. With the overlap between classes, clubs, sports, and travel groups, we can build really strong relationships with individual students,” said Spanish teacher Meredith Brady. Faculty are organized into grade-level,

collaborative teams that “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher meet twice weekly to share explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. instructional The great teacher inspires.” – William Arthur Ward best practices, discuss ways to integrate sharing the experience. the curriculum, and ensure that each student is Great teachers can provide lifelong challenged and supported to reach his or her inspiration to students.

Each spring, over 90 percent of the student body travels domestically and internationally. Travel is a huge growth opportunity for students, who engage with different communities and cultures through academic enrichment, cultural and linguistic immersion, and service work.

here,s something special about a taste of home, and when it comes to wine and spirits, San Diego has something for every palate. From urban craft distilleries to abundant green vineyards, from a night out with friends to dinner with the family, our local wineries and distilleries have it all. Read on to learn more about the flavors flourishing in our backyards.

, San Diego s sun-kissed vines offer a taste of history for connoisseurs and casual sippers alike. The area is

home to California s first recorded vineyards, planted in the 1700s by Father Junipero Serra. Today, the county boasts over 115 wineries – and more history to be savored with every glass. Our beautiful climate is a key factor for the success of local vineyards, and diverse conditions allow a wide variety of grapes to flourish. Wine grapes tend to be hardier and more water-efficient than other crops, giving them an advantage during drier years. San Diego-grown wines include Albarino, Cabernet Franch, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Grenache, Merlot, Sangiovese, Syrah, Tempranillo, Viognier – the list goes on! THE MORE YOU KNOW A hybrid is two grape types genetically crossed, while a blend combines two grape varieties after fermentation. Terroir is the natural environment for a particular wine – including soil, farming techniques, and climate. A vintage is a specific year or harvest. A varietal is a wine made from a particular grape type.

THE RO CK

M THE VIN

While local wine and craft beer have made their mark on San Diego, the craft spirits scene is on the rise. With everything from vodka and gin to

ou're what y d n i ! f o ns t Guide ese ico Spirits h t & e w n o Wi Foll n our g for i n i k o o l

whiskey and rum, San Diego s 14+ craft distilleries are raising a glass to large manufacturers, producing highquality small-batch varieties with local ingredients and distinct flavor. Craft distilleries have been allowed to operate tasting rooms only since January of 2017, even further expanding their local reach. Stop in to learn more about the distillation process and get better acquainted with what's going in your cocktail. THE MORE YOU KNOW Grapes aren't just for wine. Vodka can be made from any sugar or starch source – wheat, corn, potatoes, or fruit. Gin is essentially flavored vodka, but must have a predominant flavor of juniper. Generally speaking, whiskey (with an “e”) refers to American and Irish spirits, while whisky (no “e”) refers to spirits made in Scotland, Canada, Japan, or elsewhere.

ven the name says mellow relaxation and big deep breaths: Koi Zen Cellars. This craft urban winery in the heart of Carmel Mountain Ranch has a vibe unlike any other. Like stepping into your best friend’s home, Koi Zen Cellars is a special place for patrons to ‘uncork, sip back, and relax.’ Owner and winemaker Darius Miller’s life was run by pressure for many years, to the point it almost did him in with a stress-induced stroke. After honing his self-taught skills, Darius turned his passion for winemaking from a small-scale project into a beautiful business, allowing guests to reconnect, be in the moment, and take time (and a great glass of wine) to themselves. Koi Zen Cellars’ welcoming and warm ambiance has turned it into a community hangout for wine loving people. Co-owner Lisa Miller attends the Sonoma State Wine Business program, while steward Jon is a Level 1 sommelier en route to his Level 2. Steward Cat comes from the hospitality industry, and “Her infectious smile is loved by all,” Lisa confirmed. Koi Zen sources their grapes from growers throughout California, “giving guests a unique taste experience from all the major wine regions in the state.” Koi Zen creates fruit-forward, approachable, lively, and fun

full-bodied wines – Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Rhone-style reds and red blends among the broad-spectrum list of choices. Their most popular offerings include Cabernet Sauvignon, Viognier, and Zinfandel. The San Diego U-T readers’ poll awarded Koi Zen the best local winery for two years running, and their wines have won awards in competitions from local to international, earning points in the 90s. They give back to local charities and schools by hosting fundraisers. Koi Zen even received the Think Local First championship in 2017 by the San Diego North Business Chamber. Their fundraising efforts and Holiday Gift Extravaganza, coupled with hosting local musicians on the weekends and active memberships in local networking groups and the North San Diego Business Chamber, highlight the business as involved community members. Their tasting room and winery can double as a unique event space for corporate, private, and holiday events. Currently Koi Zen has entered their Crush season, processing 96,000 lbs. of grapes – equivalent to 3,000 cases of wine! They’ll be releasing a Petite Verdot and a few others for the cooler winter months, along with a Frenchstyle Stainless Chardonnay. 

ince 2007, Principe di Tricase Winery has been making wine the traditional way – no added ingredients or sulfites. “We believe that grape juice should be the only ingredient in wine,” explained owner Alfredo Gallone. Alfredo is committed to making the wine the “ancient way,” following in the footsteps of small-country wineries in Italy. Pairing the rustic, old-world style winery with Italian family ambience makes a tasting at Principe di Tricase an unforgettable experience. The winery offers a selection of Italian wines, including Aglianico, Nebbiolo, Aleatico, Barbera, Sangiovese, and Moscato. “Our Dark Rose Aglianico rosé style is very unique,” Alfredo explained. “Aglianico is one of the most ancient wine grapes with a special self-preserving capability that is transferred into the wine, giving it a very characteristic flavor.” A number of their wines have been awarded medals from both national and international wine competitions. Principe di Tricase complements their Italian selection with a number of French wines. The wine list includes Petit Sirah, Sirah, Cabernet Franc, Cab Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. Since the arrival from Italy of daughter Raffaella and son-in-law Alberto, wine tastings are hosted Thursdays through Sundays. It’s a family affair, and Alfredo, Alberto, and Raffaella are proud to personally host guests. They’re joined by Joaco Sanz, a 25-year veteran of the wine industry in Spain. Joaco may look familiar to some as he has been on a number of TV shows about wine and wine pairings. “He was known as ‘El Professor Del Vino,’” Alfredo shared, “the wine professor.” Tasting flights start at $10, but the tasting fee is waived with the purchase of a bottle of wine. Balsamic vinegars and olive oils are also produced in house and available for purchase. A unique pairing on the winery property is the Highland Valley Christmas Tree Farm. “Since we purchased the property, we have been selling Christmas trees, continuing a long tradition,” Alfredo said. For many years, families have been choosing and cutting their Christmas trees on the property. “The smile on the children’s and parents’ faces makes it worthwhile.” Producing excellent wines and maintaining their strong Italian family ambiance are priorities at the winery. “Principe di Tricase and our family are here for you,” Alfredo said. “Please come and visit us and share in the love of excellent wines and an unforgettable experience.” 

reezy days full of sun, cool nights, and rocky soils make Ramona a perfect place to grow wine grapes of exceptional quality and why Ramona Valley is recognized as a designated viticultural area by the federal government. With more than 100 vineyards and over 35 wineries dedicated to crafting unique small-batch wines, Ramona is becoming known around the world as San Diego’s wine country. Crystal Hill Vineyard is one of the newer estate wineries to open its doors. Founded in 2014 with four acres of vines, they have already produced several award winners by focusing on quality at every step of the winemaking process. The founders, Scott and Miki Warner, take a holistic approach to vineyard management and production. They use only organic fertilizers and manage the land towards natural sustainability. “We make the wine in the vineyard,” said Scott. “In other words, what you taste in the bottle is the flavor of that soil enhanced by the story of the season – its challenges and its triumphs.”

ZCODE MAGAZINES WINE & SPIRITS GUIDE 2018

Crystal Hill features great views from its spacious outdoor patio and large porch. There’s also an indoor tasting room with an art gallery and restroom. The service is first class and the vibe is relaxing. They also offer a free tour of the vineyards and cellar with a guide that explains their approach to winemaking and how each piece of winery equipment is used. They currently offer a Chardonnay, a Cabernet Sauvignon, a Syrah, and two Merlots. Each of the wines includes a description of how it was made and from the tour you’ll learn about the special care that goes into every bottle they produce. For food, they provide some munchies with a wine tasting and also offer a cheese plate for $12. You can even bring your own food and make it a picnic! A wine tasting is $10 or free when you purchase one or more bottles of wine. Crystal Hill is dog-friendly, kid-friendly, and has ample parking. There’s space for groups up to 40 – just call ahead to reserve your seating and book your free tour. 

Explore the winery, gardens, and village of unique shops in the winery courtyard. Bernardo Winery is also the perfect backdrop for weddings, special events, the weekly farmers market, and regular live music. “At Bernardo Winery, our winemakers Ross Rizzo and Matty Ward strive to produce wines that best suit the San Diego terroir, wines that love our soil and our sunshine,” shared Samantha Nawrocki, Director of Marketing. “It allows them to play with some interesting varietals that thrive in a Mediterranean, warm climate.” Bernardo Winery produces beautiful silky, full-bodied reds like the Syrah, as well as whites like Albarino and Viognier that burst out flavor notes of citrus and creamy vanilla. Regulars on the tasting menu include Syrah and Petite Sirah, Grenache, Cabernet Franc, Zinfandel, Merlot, Malbec, and Sangiovese for the reds.

For whites, Albarino, Viognier, Chardonnay and Muscat are eager to dig their roots in and call San Diego home. San Diego was, after all, the first place that grapes were planted in California, and they thrive well here from the vine to the bottle. “We still, at Bernardo Winery, after 130 years, make our wines in the same traditional ways,” Samantha said, “while utilizing new technology and viticulture practices to produce wines that truly represent the region today.” 

hough the Forgotten Barrel tasting room in Escondido opened in 2017, the property itself is steeped in history. Forgotten Barrel Winery occupies a historic winery, which was established in 1886 as one of the first vineyards in San Diego County and Southern California. It was then purchased by George Ferrara in 1928 and re-opened in 1932 with the passage of the 21st Amendment ending prohibition. During the following 75 years, Ferrara Winery grew to prominence in the California wine industry, and was designated a California historic point of interest in the late 1970s and a historic site by the City of Escondido in 1989. It was operated by three generations of the Ferrara family until 2010. Forgotten Barrel Owner Rodger Grove purchased the winery in 2016, working hard to restore this historic property while continuing to tell the story of the Ferrara family. The winery now offers wines produced on location in Escondido as well as wines produced at its Napa Valley winery. Forgotten Barrel’s winemaker sources grapes from Napa, Sonoma, Central California, and San Diego County. The property’s rustic charm provides a one-of-a-kind setting for weddings, birthday parties, or corporate events, either in the barrel room or in one of its outdoor venues. Forgotten Barrel is proud to be part of the history of the Escondido and San Diego County wine industry. For more information visit www.ForgottenBarrel.com. 

CER R CAN O F S CURE RATE E L E by LIZ ONUFER ACC HELP photo by Soul of Photography O T K OR MAN W O K Y ND AM Names: Amy and Bill Koman BILL A

EVENT: PADRES PEDAL THE CAUSE | SATURDAY, NOV. 17 | PETCO PARK

ill and Amy Koman relocated to Rancho Santa Fe eight years ago, but their impact on the entire San Diego community far exceeds their recent residency. Upon moving to the area, the Komans expanded the organization and event they founded in their hometown of St. Louis, MO – Pedal the Cause, a cycling event to raise money for cancer research. Bill and Amy’s commitment to cancer research comes from personal experience. “Bill is a two-time cancer survivor and our family is deeply grateful for the care he received that ultimately saved his life. We are committed to doing everything we can to help accelerate cures for cancer, which will come from research,” shared Amy. Their contributions to the cancer research community is evidenced in both participation and dollars raised. In partnership with the San Diego Padres, Pedal the Cause will host over 2,000 participants at Petco Park on Saturday, Nov. 17. People can choose from four cycling rides over the Coronado Bridge, a new family-friendly 5K walk/run, spin classes on the field, or a kids ride, with all activities finishing centerfield at Petco. The event culminates in an afternoon celebration on the field with “great music, food, and an inspirational program on the main stage that captures what this event is all about – hope and progress in the fight against cancer,” Amy said. To date, Padres Pedal the Cause has donated over $7 million to fund 42 cancer research projects in San Diego. Each year, the organization awards 15 to 20 “Discovery Grants,” which enable the top physicians and research scientists in San Diego to collaborate and explore promising areas of cancer research that often lead to high-reward results and additional funding from other sources. In addition to Pedal the Cause, Bill has also served on the UCSD Moores Cancer Center Advisory Board, and Amy has been involved with the National Charity League for the last 10 years. They have three daughters who are also deeply involved with their school and community. As a family, health and wellness are a priority. “Bill never misses a home game for his daughters – soccer, volleyball, field hockey, lacrosse,” Amy acknowledged. This is also an aspect the Komans appreciate about Rancho Santa Fe. “We love the relaxed nature of RSF and the positive, healthy culture in this community,” Amy said. San Diego has been a great fit for the Komans and Padres Pedal the Cause. “Cancer is personal for so many people. It affects all of us. It’s rewarding to work alongside so many others who are committed to making a difference and accelerating cures,” said Amy. “We hope everyone will get involved and be there on Nov. 17.”  14 • 92067MAGAZINE.COM • WINE & SPIRITS GUIDE 2018

Many of our dancers have been taking classes together for several seasons, and even through different school districts their friendships continue to grow. Since arriving in Solana Beach, we have sought to mirror our active and vibrant community. We welcome students from all areas of San Diego, and have classes for children of all ages (3-18) and abilities. We offer a wide variety of classes, from hip hop to classical ballet, to jazz, ballroom, acro, musical theater, and contemporary. Our teachers are all award-winning and lifelong dancers who embody a collective passion for education, creativity, and community. Our director, Ms. Gabriella Carter, has won several choreography and technique awards. GCDC has been recognized as a Studio of Excellence and, among other accolades, our jazz-funk teacher, Jordan Bautista, was featured on NBC’s World of Dance Season 3. Our girls were so excited to cheer on their teacher and his crew! For the first time, GC Dance Company will be putting on a

winter Nutcracker production! Our production of the Nutcracker will feature classic ballet ensemble numbers, like the party scene with Clara, Fritz, and Dusseldorf as well as the Waltz of the Sugar Plum Fairy. The GCDC winter Nutcracker performance will be directed by two of our ballet teachers, Ms. Janica Breeze and Ms. Ariana Gonzalez, as well as our studio director, Ms. Gabriella Carter. Our production includes dancers from all varieties of our classes including our tiniest ballerinas! Many students are excited for their very ﬁrst on-stage performance. We are excited to share this classic holiday tradition with our community. We will perform our Nutcracker ballet on Friday, November 29 at the Garﬁeld Theater, Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center. All are welcome to enjoy what is sure to be a spectacular show! We at GC Dance Company are thrilled to be a part of the Solana Beach community.

STUDIO WEST OFFERS AFTER SCHOOL WORKSHOPS FOR STUDENTS A

s the new school year begins, students are once again getting to create music at a world-class recording studio by participating in the Studio West After School Workshops. The workshops are led by Andy Walsh, who has been associated with Studio West for over 10 years and brings a wealth of experience as a producer, engineer, and musician. Andy is a 2012 graduate of our own music production program and also holds a B.A. in Music Humanities from UCSD but, most importantly, he creates an amazing environment for students to explore their musical creativity. The workshops center around collaborative and individual projects that challenge students, giving them the tools they need to make their musical ambitions a reality. Students develop their skills by listening to and critically analyzing

the music they love. From this insight, along with the experience of working in Studio West’s professional recording facility, students have the unique opportunity to make recordings that bring their creative visions to fruition. Students meet weekly for 90 minutes in focused groups of three to six students analyzing music, working on original compositions and arrangements, and ultimately recording their performances in the amazing studios. Students learn production techniques and get hands-on time with industry standard hardware and software packages such as Ableton Live and Pro Tools. Recruitment is ongoing and Andy and the Studio West team are always happy to oﬀer tours of the studio to interested students. We look forward to hearing from you! 
