Napa Valley is unquestionably one of the great wine regions of the world. Located about 50 mi/80 km north of San Francisco, Napa is renowned for its decadent Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay and its glamourous, fancy and expensive tasting rooms. Napa only represents 4% of California's wine grape harvest, but it holds the highest reputation among all US regions.   But the region isn't all show – it has excellent terroir to make world class wines. Photo: Napa Valley Vineyard. Source: Pixabay Napa Valley stretches southeast to northwest for approximately 35 miles (60 km) from just north of the San Pablo Bay to the northern reaches of Calistoga. Nestled between the Vaca and Mayacamas mountain ranges, the Valley is about 4 miles wide at its widest point. It contains half the soil types in the world and its mountains, benchlands, and valleys have so much diversity that each wine made here reflects a different character.   In this show I go over the history, the geology and terroir, the main grapes and wine styles, and then I go into detail on the 16 American Viticultural Areas in Napa and what to expect from each.     This is a comprehensive look at this great wine region of the world that made the reputation of American wine as we know it today.     Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Become a member today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   Check out my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access.  They have an amazing selection -- once you get hooked on their wines, they will be your go-to!

Welcome to episode 1108, in which host Polly Hammond interviews Mayacamas Olds, this week on Uncorked. This week, we welcome Mayacamas Olds. Born and raised amidst the vines, Mayacamas has spent her entire life in the wine world. Over 10 years ago, before sustainability was an everyday buzzword, Mayacamas earned her Masters in Corporate Sustainability, and has made it her mission to build regenerative models across all facets of wine, not just in the vineyards. In this no-holds-barred interview we discuss everything from the need to vote and prioritizing mental health, to the great resignation to caring for our ag workers. Let's get into it. More about today's guest: Mayacamas Olds was born and raised on Mt. Veeder in Napa Valley. Growing up on her family's small estate winery and vineyard operation, her love of the wine industry and sustainability was engrained from a young age.

Alan Light is an insightful journalist who has been editor in chief of Vibe, Spin and Tracks. He is a consultant for the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame whose writing has appeared in Rolling Stone and The New York Times. Alan has authored and co-authored a number of books including Let's Go Crazy: Prince and the Making of Purple Rain, The Skills to Pay the Bills: The Story of the Beastie Boys and My Cross to Bear, with Gregg Allman. He is also the cohost of Debatable with Mark Goodman on Sirius XM Volume.    Alan dropped in to discuss the Beastie Boys' sophomore album, the 1989 classic Paul's Boutique, over a bottle of exquisite 2016 Leviathan. Recorded over two years, the album is a masterwork of layered samples, a freewheeling hip hop opus that dropped before sampling laws became an income stream for music publishing companies. According to a 2011 article in The Atlantic, if released that year, the album would cost Capitol Records $20 million in sampling clearance fees. Paul's Boutique established the Beasties as visionaries beyond the party boy antics of their debut, License to Ill. It seemed fitting to pair this layered and powerful hip hop classic with a wine that is a similar behemoth. Leviathan is a red blend curated by star winemaker Andy Erickson (Screaming Eagle, Harlan, Favia, Mayacamas and more) who, each year, coaxes the best of each varietal in the blend from notable vineyards throughout California, creating, essentially a sampled masterpiece.       Guest: Alan Light Album: Beastie Boys, Paul's Boutique Wine: 2016 Leviathan, Andy Erickson 

We are one week into the new year and guess what, and it's still true that healing and human-ing is not a linear path. In this episode Kat shares her journey through a depressing start to the year and how she managed to turn her gray into finding more ways to express joy, love and creativity. Through her curations she realized that the mundane moments of life carry the most punch. The epiphany that there is not epiphany or perfect life to come. In this moment is where the magic lies! And what other magical wine than Mayacamas Chardonnay! We love this Mount Veeder Chardonnay from high elevation Napa. Welcome high-volume intensity with bright tropical, orchard and white blossoms. Cheers to gorgeous and expressive Chardonnay from the legendary wineries in Napa. Cheers! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Adam and Zach discuss the incredible disconnect between many wine professionals and the bulk of the wine-drinking public when it comes to red wine: how many somms and journalists love to emphasize lighter, higher-acid styles of red wine even while the public continually shows a strong preference for full-bodied blends and varietal wines. Plus, Zach shares some thoughts on the closing of his longtime restaurant home, Dahlia Lounge.

Recently I traveled into Alexander Valley and enjoyed some time with Nate Weis at Silver Oak's new state of the art winery .I was amazed at the entire estate and loved my time there.Today we have a new two part feature with Nate Weis and Silver Oak.First we will look at their website,and gather some history and great facts about the two featured wines from the fabled winery. Silver Oak began over a handshake between two friends with a bold vision: focus on one varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon, aged exclusively in American oak and worthy of cellaring for decades to come. Over the next two decades, Silver Oak grew in popularity. Our Napa Valley and Alexander Valley Cabernets sold quickly upon their release from the winery and became a sought-after staple on restaurant wine lists around the country. After selecting Daniel Baron to succeed him as winemaker in 1994, Justin retired, selling his share of Silver Oak to the Duncan family in 2001. In 2006, a fire destroyed our historic Oakville winery. It was a difficult and emotional event; but in hindsight, a blessing in disguise. When we regrouped on the morning of the fire, we knew we had to rebuild, and it wasn't long before the excitement of a new, state-of-the-art winery overcame our sense of loss. Today, we are applying this experience from our LEED Platinum Oakville winery toward a new winery in the Alexander Valley. Set amidst 70 acres of estate vineyards along the rolling foothills of the Mayacamas mountains, our new Alexander Valley winery – set to open for harvest 2017 – will push industry design and innovation standards through alternative energy sources, innovative water reuse systems and reclaimed building materials. Today, we farm more than 400 acres of vines in Napa Valley and Alexander Valley with a leading-edge approach toward precision viticulture, allowing us to give our vines exactly what they need, when they need it. All of our estate vineyards are certified under California's Sustainable Winegrowing program. In 2014, Nate Weis joined us as only the third winemaker in our 45-year history. Nate worked side-by-side with Daniel Baron, just as Daniel worked with Justin Meyer before his retirement. These overlapping tenures ensure the handing down of our commitment to continuous improvement and the wisdom that our best wines are still ahead of us. We have two great wines to discuss.starting with the 2014 Napa Valley Cabernet. The 2014 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has an opaque crimson color with a purplish hue. The alluring nose draws you in with notes of cassis, black cherry, pipe tobacco, salted caramel, cocoa beans and fresh strawberry. This full-bodied wine enters with a depth of flavor and offers mouth-coating, velvety tannins and flavors of cream soda and red fruit. Black currant and vanilla notes crescendo through the palate to the lengthy finish. This wine is drinkable upon release, but given proper cellaring conditions, can be enjoyed through 2040. we also will open the great Alexander Valley Cabernet from Silver Oak! Located 10 minutes east of downtown Healdsburg at 7300 Hwy 128 in Sonoma County, our new, state-of-the-art winery is now open for walk-in tastings, guided tours and food and wine pairings. Designed to “Frame the Vineyard”, the winery features panoramic views of the Alexander Valley bench and our surrounding 113 acre estate and 75 acres of prime Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed at our modern barn-inspired tasting room adjacent to the iconic Silver Oak water tower. Visitors will gain a deeper understanding of how sustainable vineyard management contributes to wine quality, as well as the technologies and practices we apply toward resource management and vineyard health. Healdsburg has become a great wine country hub for Sonoma County.Surrounded by the Russian River AVA,as well as the Alexander Valley,and many more.A wine country excursion should be part of your holiday celebration. these are very special wines,please consider having both wines on your Christmas day dinner menu. So now let's join Nate Weis and learn more about the world class Cabernets from silver Oak!Click on the link below and enjoy the discussion.. there are two links as this interview has many minutes of great conversation.Cheers!

David Levy is the steward of Mayacamas Sanctuary, the reformation of the Mayacamas Ranch that served as a transformational group retreat and conference centre from 2006. In a world where our problems are global and interdependent, creating spaces for disconnected and remote teams (especially those that are impact focused) to come together has never been more important. In parallel the Sanctuary is pioneering a model of incubation and investment in human and ecological focused ventures and founders

Ramey Wine Cellars was founded in 1996 by David Ramey and his wife Carla. After sixteen years making wine in Sonoma County, and firmly establishing Matanzas Creek and Chalk Hill wineries in the marketplace, David crossed the Mayacamas to spend six years in the Napa Valley–first as winemaker for Dominus Estate and project manager for the construction of their new winery; then helping Leslie Rudd reshape the Girard Winery into Rudd Oakville. David's groundbreaking work with indigenous yeasts, sur lies aging and malolactic and barrel fermentation yielded a new California style that was richer, more lush and silky smooth than previously known. As a result, he created a benchmark style now emulated by many. David earned a graduate degree from the University of California at Davis, where his 1979 thesis on volatile ester hydrolysis (translation: how aromas evolve in wine) is still used today to understand how wine ages. https://www.rameywine.com/story/david-ramey/ https://www.sidebarcellars.com/ https://twitter.com/ramey_david We Talk About: A random trip to Los Angeles with a future well-known winemaker from Santa Cruz His involvement in many brands and projects including Simi, Dominus, Rudd, Matanzas Creek, and more.

Thomas Thurston had visited this area on Cow Mountain at the Mayacamas campground several times a week for years. That's partly what makes his disappearance so mystifying. The several dozen searchers found no trace of him the next day when they were deployed in the area. Did Thomas ever even make it to the campground on Cow Mountain? Athena has a couple theories on what could have happened to Tom. Ken tells us about a lead he got on two missing children out of Bakersfield CA and explains the idea behind organ snatchers. The VitV duo also have come up with the very beginnings to a missing person and family bill of rights.Don't forget the bonus episode that will air on Thursday. Athena will start a mini series on the Emerald Triangle and all the different vanishings in this area.Make sure to rate, review and subscribe if you like what me and Ken are doing. We just want to keep the vanished people's name out in the public's mind. If we keep it up, maybe it will spur someone that knows something into coming forward and leading us to someone's missing loved one.Vanished in the Valley now has a Patreon account where you can show us love!www.patreon.com/vanishedinthevalleyIf you have any questions, please email usvanishedinthevalley@gmail.comOur website is up and slowly coming along.
