Huge Bear Wines
Some folks think wine tasting is an experience that requires sophistication and, well, a tad
bit of snobbery. Wrong. Particularly if youre headed up to the Napa Valley and the quaint
town of Calistoga during the month of February. All you need to bring with you is a sense
of humor and an appetite for great wine and lighthearted frivolity. What better means of
celebrating the arrival of our long-awaited rains than a salute to wine and whimsy? Of course,
in Calistoga, you can also add a dip in the hot springs to chase away the winter chills and
dispatch your grey sky gloom.
Huge Bear Wines will be honoring their second anniversary with a fun-filled weekend of
laughter and great wine. This isnt your typical swirl and sip soiree. Theyve got some plans
to help you enjoy your wine country experience in a few very unique ways. A host of games
and opportunities to win prizes await you. Know your trivia? Good at counting corks? Feeling
lucky at a wheel of prizes? Plan on a visit to Huge Bear over Presidents Day weekend, from
February 17th through the 20th from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and join in on the fun. You can
also score some fabulous discounts on their award-winning wines while enjoying one of the
most congenial tasting rooms in the Napa Valley.
No one is looking forward to the event more than the staff of Huge Bear Wines. With the
winemaking team lending their talent for game show hosting, the tasting room staff is ready to
award visitors with chocolates and various prizes for their winning answers.
But dont just come for the festivities. Huge Bear Wines offers history buffs an opportunity
to experience the Wild West flavor of the regions origins. Few wine tasting experiences
present a better sense of the past than Huge Bear Wines, located in the historic Calistoga
National Bank building. The setting is a perfect match for the handcrafted wines they produce.
Founded by the owners of Knights Bridge Winery, the Huge Bear namesake comes from
an early twentieth-century newspaper article chronicling a local grizzly bear who repeatedly
harassed a Knights Valley Justice of the Peace in the early 1900s. The bear, apparently

Winemaker Jason Moulton
Goes Native
Winemaker Jason Moulton joined the team at Whitehall Lane in April of 2016
and is bringing a whole new world of winemaking to the Leonardini family. Jason is
young, bright and extremely passionate about making single-vineyard estate wines
as natural as possible.
Jason moved through the ranks from cellar worker to cellar master, assistant
Winemaker Jason Moulton winemaker to winemaker, most notably at Long Meadow Ranch Winery in
St. Helena, Cliff Lede Vineyards in Yountville and most recently at Brassfield Estate
Winery in the High Valley AVA of Lake County.
He graduated from the Lincoln University Viticulture and Enology program in
New Zealand and has spent over ten years making wine in Napa Valley, Russian
River, Canada, New Zealand, Bordeaux and South Africa. He has worked with
renowned winemakers Philippe Melka, David Ramey, Kale Anderson and Ashley
Heisey.

Wine Country This Week >> WINE COUNTRY NEWS

Its Time to Solve The Mystery of Fermentation:


Yeasts are invisible yet ever-present microorganisms that perform a
miraculous microbial transformation. Winemakers have the choice
to inoculate the must with prepared yeast (traditional winemaking)
or choose to use wild yeast (and go native.) The yeasts consume the
sugar found in the pressed grape juice and convert it to alcohol and
carbon dioxide. Yeast is hardy but also can be surprisingly fragile,
thriving only within certain environmental conditions. If temperatures
are too high or too low, or if the must is too acidic or alcoholic, they
languish and die without working their magic.

Jason is handcrafting white wines fermented from native


yeast and the results are astounding. Jason stated, The
grapes are whole-cluster pressed, receive a cold soak and
then placed in the barrel. This is what we fondly call the
barrel royale and five to eight different yeasts will battle
it out to complete the fermentation. This results in wines
which have a wider flavor profile, intense aromas and a
richer body and mouth feel.
Its not like were doing anything innovative, said Jason,

Do the Math
One of the questions most asked when it comes to wine is how much of this does it take to make that, and so on. We wont pretend that its simple, but here are some industry statistics that will give a pretty good

750 ml of wine which is 25.6 ounces made One standard oak barrel of wine holds:
from about 2.4 pounds of grapes (39 oz.) and 295 bottles of wine (or 59 gallons)

which works out to almost
but not precisely 24 cases of wine.
A case of wine includes:

farming and winemaking practices, and on the varietal and the vineyard
location) which will give you 797 gallons of juice (or thirteen-and-a-half
barrels) which is pretty close to four thousand bottles of wine.
