Cool Californians – Freestone Chardonnay & Pinot Noir:
Joseph Phelps Vineyards has been a leader not only in Bordeaux and

JPV’s relentless efforts to produce outstanding Chardonnay and Pinot
Noir, first in St. Helena and now from the sister winery, Freestone
Vineyards, which opened in 2007 in the Sonoma Coast AVA. This
seminar includes a tasting of the highly rated Chardonnay and Pinot
Noir from Freestone. Participants will also be offered a tasting of our
flagship wine, Insignia, on the terrace after the seminar.
Wine Appreciation Seminar: This seminar leads guests through
an exploration of wine’s appeal to all the senses. You can also sharpen
your skills on wine history, tradition, proper serving, storage and eval-
uation. Can be as basic as “Wine 101” or an upper-level “Wine 202”
or “Wine 303” course!
On weekends there are two seminar-style tastings at 11 a.m. and 2
p.m. The duration of the seminar is 90 minutes and the cost is $40
per person. On Saturday, the Insignia Blending Seminar is offered at
11 a.m. and the Wine Appreciation Seminar at 2 p.m. On Sunday,
Le Nez is offered at both 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. These seminars may
change without notice or upon request to any of the other seminars
listed above.
Terrace Tastings: A casual tasting is offered throughout the day
scheduled on the half hour starting at 10 a.m. “Terrace Tastings” are a
more relaxed tasting of six current release wines, also including the
flagship wine, Insignia. The last “Terrace Tasting” available is at 3:30
p.m., Monday through Friday, and 2:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
These Terrace Tastings are offered daily and the cost is $25 per person.

SUISUN VALLEY
Vezér Family Vineyards in Suisun Valley
by Charles Neave
Though often – too often – overlooked, Suisun Valley is one of the
last of California’s remaining hidden gems, despite the fact that it is
barely a dozen miles from the City of Napa. But for years Suisun has
been known as a trusted and quality stand-in to the star winemakers
of Napa and Sonoma.
Now, with the recent introduction of Frank and Liz Vezér and their
best friends and partners, Sam and Mimi Mizirawi, things are
changing.
To begin with, the Vezer’s bought the 30-acre ranch and vineyard
formerly contracted to the “Sin Zin” people and “Ravenswood.” That
was followed in very short order by their purchase of the entire
Western “Pony Express” village of Mankas Corners, a property with
160 years of colorful history. Then they acquired Suisun Valley’s

Baldacci Family Vineyards – A Labor of Love

by Charles Neave
The 4,000 square feet of unique caves stretch around the interior
of what geologists – and cave builders – call a volcanic knoll; the 17
acres that surround the tasting room at Baldacci Family Vineyards is
the backbone of the winery’s estate Cabernet Sauvignon program
that carefully nurtures vine growth. This means that the grapes reach
their maximum potential to create exceptional tannic structure and
concentrated flavors, essential elements of their wine. But most of
all, it is one family’s true labor of love.
Taken as a whole, this winery – on the Silverado Trail in the heart
of the famed Stags Leap District – melds a passion for winemaking
with the timeless tradition of family. “Combining these two vital
facets of life into one ensures that every drop in every bottle
produced is a true labor of love.” That is the senti-
ment and goal of Thomas and Brenda Baldacci, who
purchased the 17-acre parcel of prime vineyard land

Corley Family – Monticello Vineyards

No matter how long you’ve lived in or visited wine country, it’s still
a challenge to visit all the wineries, right? Because you develop a list of
favorites that you must visit every trip and there’s only so much time…
That’s why it’s always a thrill to discover a new favorite, or an old
favorite, as you will when you drop in at 40-year-veteran Monticello
Vineyards on Big Ranch Road in Napa.
Jay Corley came to Napa Valley in 1969 with the spirit of a pioneer,
intent on finding some land to grow his favorite varietals. Jay Corley
was a grower only until 1980, when he hired a winemaker and started
to produce wine, too. Corley was a great admirer of Thomas Jefferson,
who was not only a founding father but also
the United States first great connoisseur. He
honored the third president by naming the
winery Monticello Vineyards after Jefferson’s
mountaintop home in Charlottesville,
Virginia. In 1984, the Corleys built the and Sunday) before noon with a comparative

Rain Forest Weekends Now at Roaring Camp Railroad

Learn about California’s own rain forest … its forests of coastal
redwoods. Roaring Camp is offering weekend excursions of the Rain
Forest by rail through March 28.
Located in the Santa Cruz Mountains just a few miles from the
ocean, the forest flourishes in moderate temperatures and a year-round
water supply provided by frequent Pacific systems and dense fog.
Roaring Camp CEO Georgiana Clark says, “In winter, California’s
rain forest is most dramatic. Storms whip branches; foliage glistens;
and the air is filled with the aroma of California bay laurel and tanbark
oak.”
Trains operate Saturdays and Sundays at 12:30 p.m. through
March 28th. Tickets are $21.50 adult, $15.50 child (3-12 years).
Parking is $8. Roaring Camp is in Felton, six miles north of Santa
Cruz. Exit State Route 17 at Mt. Hermon Road, left at Graham Hill
Road, then 1/2 mile to the entrance. For information, call (831) 335-

Elegant Dinner, Fine Wine, Devine Location at

the16th Annual Ultimate Winemakers Dinner
Shadowbrook Restaurant is hosting an elegant dinner complete
with your own personal winemaker, at the 16th annual Ultimate
Winemakers Dinner on Tuesday, February 23. This is a rare oppor-
tunity to taste the fabulous wines of up to 25 Santa Cruz Mountains
Winegrowers, and then be escorted to an intimate dinner. You will
enjoy the outstanding ambiance, cuisine and service of the Shadow-
brook Restaurant, which is closed to the general public and open
exclusively for the guests of the Santa Cruz Mountains Wine-
growers.
You will arrive one half hour before your seating time to enjoy wine
tasting and a silent auction in the restaurant’s stunning Rock Room
Lounge. In the dining room, you will be joined by one of the local
vintners who will share their wines with dinner. The chef of Shadow-
brook Restaurant will design a special five course menu to accompany
the wines selected for the evening.
A great gift idea for anyone in your family or circle of friends!

Each week Shadowbrook will be featuring two to four wines from
a Santa Cruz Mountains winery, offered by the bottle or glass. Wednes-
days, beginning at 5 p.m. a representative of that week’s winery will
offer tastings and information from a table set up in the restaurant’s
Rockroom Lounge.
That night all wines from the week’s winery, whether ordered in the
bar or dining room, by the glass or bottle, will be 50 percent off the
regular price. Featured wines will also be available in flights (about 2.5
oz, also half-price), accompanied by complimentary appetizer.
“This is a great way to promote the growing number of fine wines
being produced in the area,” said Shadowbrook owner Ted Burke.
“With 73 wineries in the Santa Cruz Mountains appellation, it’s impos-
sible for us to stock them all permanently. This promotion will give
wineries and winemakers an opportunity to reach a larger audience and
gain new followers, while providing Shadowbrook’s patrons with
quality local wines, many of which are medal winners in state, national
and international competitions. I also believe locals will find it a
welcome alternative to the typical $125-per-person winemaker dinner.”
The promotion is being done in concert with the Santa Cruz Moun-
