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

Scripps Ranch Fire Safe Council Donation
The Glen at Scripps Ranch presented a $20,000 donation to the Scripps Ranch Fire Safe Council (SRFSC) in recognition of the 15th anniversary of the Cedar Fire and to remind the community of the importance of fire safety and preparedness. The donation will help provide 10 special fire equipment boxes to be placed strategically around the Scripps Ranch fire district for first responders in the event of a wildfire. Equipment includes emergency vests, traffic cones and signs, and flares. Originally established as the Chimney Canyon Fire Safe Council in 2003, the SRFSC continues to bring together public and private organizations to discuss and take action towards fire safety in the community. There are now over 10 neighborhood chapters of the group, working to establish firebreaks, clear trails, remove dangerous trees, and plant new trees. For more information go to www.srfiresafe.org.
Musical Performance at Dingeman Elementary
Local Dancer to Compete in World Championships Fourteen-year-old Scripps Ranch resident Sophia DeRienzo has been selected as a member of the 2018 USA Tap Dance Team and will be traveling to Riesa, Germany to compete in the World Tap Championships from Nov. 27 to Dec. 1. The USA team includes 78 dancers from 18 states who will compete against tap dancers from over 30 countries around the world. Sophia, an eighth grader at Maranatha Christian School, spends most of her time at So Cal Dance, where she takes classes and is an assistant teacher. She is an active athlete, and has participated in softball, Scripps Ranch National Junior Basketball, and the Scripps Ranch Soccer Club both as a recreational and competitive player. When she’s not dancing, Sophia can be found refereeing at a local soccer field, volunteering at St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church, or spending time with her friends. Tune in to the livestream competition on Nov. 27 and cheer on Team USA at www.ido-dance.com.
45th Annual MRE Halloween Carnival Miramar Ranch Elementary School (MRE) held its 45th Annual Halloween Carnival in October, featuring carnival games, a pumpkin patch, laser tag, food trucks, used book sale, raffle prizes, cake decorating contest, cake walk, fun costumes, bake sale, and Teacher’s Pet Shoppe. A highlight for students was when Mrs. Crane, Cotterell, Smith, Best, Lynch, and Oestreich all got soaked with the aqua blaster! Part of the carnival tradition is the haunted house. Fifth graders help plan and construct the haunted house, then get dressed up to spook visitors during the carnival. All proceeds from the haunted house go directly to the fifth grade promotion fund. The Halloween Carnival is the biggest fundraiser of the year organized by MRE’s Family Faculty Association. Learn more about how to get involved at www.halloween.miramarranch.org.
Local Student Selected as Kid Reporter photo provided by Scholastic News Kids Press Corps
Fourth and fifth graders from Mr. Saguil’s and Ms. Morioka’s seminar classes at Dingeman Elementary School will soon present to the community a performance of Night at the Wax Museum, a story of what happens to wax statues after the lights go out. The musical is filled with catchy songs, crazy antics, and historical figures that magically come alive and interact with the unfortunate students who are volunteering at Cultully Museum. King Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Blackbeard, Cleopatra, Pancho Villa, and Calamity Jane are just a few of the famous people who come alive to dance and sing. “This year, it’s a mix of history and fun,” said fifth grader Sargini Sudarsan, who plays Ivy Sweet in the play. “You learn about history in an indirect way.” The musical will be held at the school on Wednesday, Dec. 19 at 7 p.m. in the multipurpose room. The performance is free and open to the community, but donations are welcome. Discover more at www.dingeman.net.
Thirteen-year-old Marshall Middle School student Arjun Suri has been selected as one of 45 Kid Reporters in the award-winning Scholastic News Kids Press Corps, a team of talented young reporters ages 10 to 14 from across the country and around the world, for the 2018-19 program year.

Their stories are published on the Scholastic News Kids Press Corps website and featured in select issues of Scholastic Classroom Magazines, reaching more than 25 million students in classrooms nationwide. “I am really looking forward to getting to know and meet more people in my community, and to tell stories that will inspire and excite readers,” Arjun said. The Scholastic News Kids Press Corps has been publishing “news for kids, by kids” since 2000. Learn more at www.scholastic.com/kidspress.

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.

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.

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.

ernardo Winery is a piece of San Diego history, producing San Diego-grown wine for three generations. Enjoy the ambiance of old California and rustic charm. The Kitchen, a Sicilian-California style restaurant, offers exceptional fresh hand-made pasta and brick-oven pizzas, recipes inspired by the Rizzo family. 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.”

bnormal Wine Co. started six years ago as a small urban winery dedicated to the craft of creating unique wines from around the world. They took a craft beer approach to wine, developing wines that could be duplicated year after year, even using adjuncts to create new flavors and wines that depart from traditional wine culture. Abnormal has since grown to encompass an open-kitchen restaurant, The Cork and Craft, and a craft brewery, Abnormal Beer Co., to complete a truly unique experience for their guests. The winery has grown a barrel program, including aging wines in spirits barrels, working with local distillery Malahat Spirits and Newtopia Cider to forge truly Abnormal partnerships. These collaborations enable Abnormal to bring truly unique products to the market that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. 16990 Via Tazon #123, San Diego, CA 92127 / 858-618-2463 www.TheCorkandCraft.com / Mon.: closed | Tues. – Thurs.: 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. Fri.: 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. | Sat.: 3 p.m. – 10 p.m. | Sun.: 10 a.m. – 9 p.m.

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.

14 • 92131MAGAZINE.COM • WINE & SPIRITS GUIDE 2018
ome Consignment Center (HCC) is a fresh mix of previouslyloved items, as well as new products from model homes and designer showrooms and pieces from artists. “We choose great products and sell them at a great value. Our goal is to offer our customers an easy way to change out their décor at any time without the stress of selling it themselves. Our customers love change, and having a place to buy and sell gives them the freedom to update their nest without breaking the bank,” revealed Tracy Johnson, store manager. Home Consignment Center offers complimentary in-home previews for our consignors. A representative of HCC will go out to a consignor’s home and evaluate the potential consignment items. According to Johnson, this makes the consignment process much less of a burden for the consignor as they do not have to bring the items into the store to evaluate and price. “We also make it easy for sellers to transport items into the store. We have partnered with Awesome Movers to offer customers an easy and affordable way to get their furniture into the store for sale,” explained Johnson. The HCC sales strategy is also unique in that items arrive directly to the showroom instead of a warehouse or storage area. This open concept allows customers to see items as they arrive. As stated by Johnson, this creates a constant feeling of excitement among regulars and first-time shoppers alike. In the mid-1990s, the idea for Home Consignment Center was born. Christine and Johnny Crowell decided to open a furniture store with a similar business model to their successful antique auto consignment business. Jamece and John Fondnazio joined the Crowells and formed a partnership built on promoting high quality furniture and accessories at fair prices. The first store opened in Danville, California, and now there are 18 locations across the southwest, including the one in 4S Ranch. “In response to San Diego shoppers visiting the Orange County stores, the owners of HCC decided San Diego was a natural location to expand. Our 14,000-square-foot store is filled with natural light, a beautiful coffee bar and, of course, an eclectic mix of beautiful home furnishings,” stated Johnson. HCC’s 4S location is also launching a fine jewelry department, allowing customers to buy and seller jewelry along with home furnishings and accessories.

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!

Taking a Break
T
hese upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks, Falcons are taking a much-deserved break from their hectic school lives. From freshman to seniors, all students look forward to the breaks to kick back and recoup from their stressful school days. What most look forward to is not hearing their dreadful alarms go off at six in the morning. “I’m going to enjoy sleeping in and lounging around the house not worrying about my classes,” stated Georgina Madok, who is a junior at Scripps Ranch High School. The breaks are great for relaxing, and they give students relief from worrying about homework and studying. “I’m
definitely going to love not having to cram for an honors pre-calculus or honors history test over break,” said Caroline JagerAnderson, another junior. Others, however, are less excited for sitting around all day and relaxing, and more excited for traveling and making plans with friends. Many students are so busy with sports, school work, and extracurriculars that their social lives are confined to the short weekends, but even then sometimes weekends are flooded with work and obligations. “I’m going to hang out with my friends and go as many places as I can before schools starts back up,” stated Nyssa Sais Montoya, a sophomore at
Scripps Ranch High. In order for students to have all this free time over breaks, teachers try to finish chapters and sections before, which usually translates to extra work. Ashley Adriano, a junior, said, “All my classes typically cram in a lot of work before breaks so we have none during, it’s a lot of work but its worth it to have a free break!” With work-free breaks coming up, Falcon students are getting excited for the holidays.
Nicole Poirier is a junior at Scripps Ranch High School. She is participating in an internship program with 92131 Magazine.
