Mark, Tom and Barry. California Wine Country today features some 2023 SF Chronicle Wine Competition winners, with Mark Klaver who joins Harry Duke, Tom Simoneau and Barry Herbst in the studio. Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger are away this week. Mark Klaver is the Marketing and Sponsorship Director for the San Francisco Chronicle wine competition, which takes place in Cloverdale. Formerly, its name was the Cloverdale Citrus Fair Wine Competition but the Chronicle took it over as a sponsor in 2000. There were 5500 wines, over three days, with 16 panels of three judges each and a total of 55 judges so each day. Each judge has 100-120 wines, plus best-in-class tastings, for a total of probably about 150. This website "Wine Judging dot com" the SF Chronicle Wine Competition in great detailn. The Competition Format Each judge gets 10 numbered glasses, and a tally sheet. If all three judges pick Gold, the wine wins a Double Gold. Mark Klaver describes it as a west coast style of judging. Subsequently, the judges can discuss their choices and modify or add a plus or a minus to a rating. There is a coordinator who facilitates the panel's work. Click the logo to visit our sponsor Bottle Barn online for the coolest bargains on wine, beer and spirits. Barry Herbst says it's a very helpful process and helps judges to have more certainty with their choices. It is possible for a category or an entry to have no awards. About 80% of the wines will get an award of some type. This year about 30% got gold, 25% silver and 20% bronze. There is about 15-20 minute turnaround time in a category and Barry describes setting aside his best wines to taste them against the other best ones, before the end of the round. Tasting Discussion They begin tasting a 2021 Gruner Veltliner, called Reustle from Umpqua Valley in Oregon. This has some white pepper and grapefruit flavors and is slightly sweet. It is a versatile grape for adventurous growers. Mark remembers only eight Gruner Veltliners in this year's competition, two more than last year. This wine was named “White Sweepstakes Winner”, the award for top white wine. The website shows all of this year's winners, and those from the last five years. There is a total of 209 categories, all of which award a best-in-class, but there are only six sweepstakes winners. Next is the 2020 V. Sattui Napa Valley Chardonnay, which shared the White Sweepstakes Winner award with the Reustle Gruner Veltliner. V. Sattui's wines are only available at the winery. It's a classic California style oak-fermented rich and creamy Chard. The color is a remarkable rich yellow. The two wines that shared the white sweepstakes award are quite different, which is a remarkable fact. The Gruner Veltliner is a modestly priced aromatic white and the V. Sattui Chardonnay is an expensive, big bold style. A very different Chardonnay The 2021 ZD Wines Chardonnay is a very different Chardonnay, with more citrus flavors, not fat and buttery. ZD Wines is in the middle of Napa Valley and has a reputation for Chardonnay. This goes for about $36 at Bottle Barn, although it's listed at $42 on the report. It uses American oak, so it has a leaner character. J Lohn also has a Chardonnay that uses American oak, which is also less expensive. Mark describes the judges as being not only in the wine industry but also in the trade, in the world of hospitality and distribution. They want to evaluate the wines from their point of view, sommeliers, winemakers and retailers all have different expectations and criteria. They also have some younger judges which they find beneficial to the competition. The next tasting is the Sweepstakes Winner for Red wines, a Dry Creek Vineyard 2019 Terroir Series Cabernet Sauvignon. This was judged in the $54-60 range. Next there is a St. Anne's Crossing 2020 Malbec, which shows how good Malbec is starting to come from California. Most of the wineries use their Malbec for their Bordeaux blends.

Sterling Vineyards: Spotlight on Napa Valley's Premier WineryNapa Valley is world-renowned for its wine, and Sterling Vineyards is one of the most iconic wineries in the area. I had the opportunity to interview Lauren Kopit, winemaker at Sterling Vineyards, for the Obsessed with Wine podcast this week. In this post, I want to share some of the insights she shared with me about the winery and Napa Valley's wine industry. Stay tuned for my podcast episode featuring Lauren which is available Saturday, July 9th!Sterling Vineyards - Napa ValleyPanoramic ViewsSterling Vineyards is a historic hilltop winery in the town of Calistoga, CA. Sterling separates itself from wineries on the valley floor with its brilliant white stucco and aerial tram.  The aerial tram carries visitors from the parking lot to the entrance of the winery that sits atop a volcanic hill 300 feet above the Napa Valley.  This elevation offers visitors stunning panoramic views of the Napa Valley making it one of the most visited wineries in the Napa Valley wine country.  Change of ownershipSterling founder Peter Newton produced the first vintage in 1969 after establishing the winery in 1964.  Peter Newton designed the winery to resemble a place originating from the Greek island Mykonos.  The winery's towers house eight bells that came from London's church where Perter Newton was born.  The winery was eventually purchased in 1977 by The Coca-Cola Company and then it was sold again in 1982 to Seagram before it was purchased by Diageo in 2001.  Finally, Sterling Vineyards was purchased by the Australian wine giant Treasury Wine Estates in 2016.  The Glass Fire Unfortunately, the aerial tram and parts of the winery were damaged in the Glass fire.  The Glass Fire started on September 27, 2020, and damaged many wineries in the Napa/Sonoma area including the Sterling Vineyards winemaking facilities.  Sterling is currently undergoing needed renovations including a new state-of-the-art winery that will be one of the most technologically advanced and sustainable wineries in California once it is completed. The new winery will use 50% less water than traditional winemaking practices and will generate its own energy using solar panels.   Construction has been slow due to the availability of materials as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic but the winery plans to re-open by the Summer of 2023.  In the meantime, the wine is being made at Berringer, another winery owned by Treasury.  Lauren Kopit - WinemakerSterling Vineyards' winemaking is in the capable hands of Senior Winemaker Harry Hansen and winemaker Lauren Kopit.  I had the opportunity to interview Lauren for my podcast Obsessed with Wine and she was very complimentary of her time at Sterling Vineyards where she has worked for over seven years.  Lauren was quoted as saying “I was at Sterling one week and I knew I wanted to work here forever”.  I asked her about that comment and she noted that she gets to work with some of the smartest minds in wine and she really feels like the winemaking team is a family.  Right now she can't imagine working anywhere else.   Like many people working in wine in the Napa Valley, Lauren went to college at UC Davis where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in microbiology before returning for her master's degree in Viticulture & Enology.  She says her first wine job was as a Harvest Lab Intern at Franciscan Estates where she worked with V. Sattui winemaker Jason Moravec when they were both interns.  Lauren's wine journey took her to Matchbook Wine Company as a Lab Technician and then to Turkovich Family Wines as a tasting room associate while she finished college.  She then moved

Kaikki on mahdollista Elämässä kaikki on mahdolllista. Kaikkeen ei voi koskaan varautua, niin paljon yllätyksiä voi sattua. Liikenteessä et voi kaikkea tapahtuvaa ennakoida, eikä elämässä yleensäkkään kaikkeen varautua voida. Sattui oma kirjanpitäjä vakavasti sairastumaan, ja samalla veroilmoitukseni unohtamaan. Tämähän on inhimillistä. Miten verottaja suhtautuu asiaan, hän mätkyllä minua muistuttaa. Suhteutetaan hieman asiaa: minulta menee vain pelkkää rahaa, enkä todellakaan halua kirjanpitäjälleni mitään pahaa. Ei hän tätä tahallaan unohtanut, missä lie mielikuvitus jo laukannut?

Hello wine enthusiasts, welcome to The Daily Taste for Tuesday May 17th, 2022.Winemakers, today have lots of options when it comes to selecting vessels they use for fermentation.  Typically, white wines are fermented in stainless steel tanks where the temperature of the fermentation can be controlled with cooling jackets cooled with glycol.  A lot of red wines are also fermented in stainless steel tanks before being moved to oak barrels for aging.  The decision which vessel to use usually depends on the style of wine being made.  For example, some grapes and juice that are used to make high end red wines can be fermented in a stainless-steel tank or can be pumped directly from the destemmer into an oak barrel for fermentation.  Using stainless steal tanks to ferment wine is more economical and requires much less labor while fermenting in oak barrels is the opposite.  Using oak barrels for fermentation is expensive as a new French Oak barrel can cost up to $3000 a piece.  Its also much more labor intensive and requires a lot more space in the winery.  The barrels containing the fermenting red wine have to be moved to special racks that allow the winemaking team to rotate them back and forth everyday.  This ensures the oak is introduced evenly to the must and juice.  The benefits to fermenting in oak barrels includes adding silkiness to the tannins and a rounder more lush mouthfeel. Sometimes white wines like Chardonnay are also fermented in oak barrels when the winemaker desires oak influence or wants to age the wine on the lees. Aging white wine on the lees is called sur lees aging. The lees are all of the dead yeast cells that are a byproduct of fermentation that sink to the bottom of the barrel.  The lees release sugars and proteins into the wine that combine with tannins to soften the mouthfeel.  Sur lees aging also requires regular stirring of the barrels which may be the worst job in the cellar, especially if there are a lot of barrels to stir. Fermentation is not limited to oak or stainless steel.  Some winemakers are experimenting with the benefits of other fermenting vessels like concrete eggs.  Here is a clip from an interview I did with V. Sattui winemaker, Jason Moravec who talks about the impact of fermenting wine in a concrete egg. One of my favorite experiences working at V. Sattui was working with the Reisling we fermented in the concrete egg. I have uploaded some videos to the show website that I took of active fermentations of a red wine in a stainless-steel tank and of the Reisling in the concrete egg.  Go to www.obsessedwithwine.net and click The Daily Taste Segments button at the top of the home page.  Then click the link for this segment to see the videos. Finally, The beautiful new show website is finally up and running! Go to www.obsessedwithwine.net where you will find links to all episodes and some links for some wine discounts available to my listeners from wine.com and one stop wine shop. Thank you very much!  I'll see you tomorrow for another Daily Taste, Cheers!

In my very first episode I sit down with my friend Jason Moravec , winemaker at V. Sattui in St. Helena, CA.  V.

Building a successful Napa Valley winery is hard to do. Building a historically accurate authentically-styled, 13th-century medieval Tuscan-style castle is taking your dreams and ideas to the next level. Dario Sattui has done just that. As a child, he was fascinated by the stories and photos of the old winery his great-grandfather and San Francisco California pioneer vintner, Vittorio Sattui had built. Dario was an entrepreneur and loved playing sports. He started various businesses in grammar school, high school, and college and gained valuable experience in the basics of business but the dream of re-establishing his great grandfather’s original V. Sattui winery which had been dormant for more than 50 years remained. With $8,000 and a novel approach to the wine business he re-opened V. Sattui winery in St. Helena and turned a profit in the first year of operation. But the dreams he had didn't stop there. Following graduation, Dario traveled around Europe for two years in an old VW van. It was during this period his fascination for medieval architecture began to take shape. Living out of his van, Sattui would visit medieval castles, monasteries, palaces farmhouses, and wineries studying their designs, taking photographs, and completing detailed sketches and renderings. Taking what he learned in Europe, he purchased a 171-acre vineyard property in Calistoga in 1993 and began construction of Castello di Amorosa Winery in 1994.

This week, Ilona sits down with the legendary Napa County vintner, Dario Sattui. Following in his great-grandfather's footsteps, Dario started his first winery in 1975. Since then, V. Sattui and Castello di Amorosa have become two of Napa's most popular destinations. Listen in to learn about the history and future for these properties and this family.

Peter Velleno studied winemaking, brewing science, microbiology, and food engineering at the University of California at Davis. In 2003, he was the only student to graduate with a bachelor's degree in fermentation science.After graduation, he went to work in the laboratory at William Hill Winery, where he quickly worked his way up to assistant winemaker specializing in Chardonnay production. Peter went on to work for the ultra-premium small winery Hartwell Vineyards, where he helped craft some of the most highly regarded Cabernets in the Napa Valley.Peter’s career path took a sharp turn in 2008 when he joined Castello di Amorosa as the associate winemaker. He was promoted to winemaker in 2014 and manages production of the Castello’s wines. If asked, he will tell you that making wine in a Castle is even more fun than it sounds.Peter and his wife Lauren have lived in Napa since 2003. They have two children and enjoy playing tennis, biking, cooking, and spending time outdoors with their dog Nora.Castello di Amorosa produces classically structured Italian-style wines that reflect California's unique climate, soil, and growing conditions.Our philosophy is to make elegant, intensely flavored, and well-balanced wines that showcase the "terroir" of each unique vineyard site. In this way, we can experience the flavor and aromas of the vineyard itself.We are committed to using traditional approaches to the craft of winegrowing and winemaking, but also incorporate modern techniques and equipment when it improves quality

Castello di Amorosa is the realization of an all-consuming passion. Fourth generation winemaker Dario Sattui built an authentically styled 13th century Tuscan castle winery to honor his Italian heritage and deep love for medieval architecture. In my mind, everything had to be authentic, or it wouldn’t be worth the effort. Faking it in any way might be all right for others, but I would know the difference, making it a failed attempt to explore my passion for medieval architecture. You simply can’t build an ‘old structure’ using modern techniques and tools. It would look fake, and everyone would realize it’s an imitation. Rather, we were going to build the structure – within the limits of the current building code – using the same techniques medieval builders had relied on eight hundred years ago.But it all started with wine.Dario is the great grandson of pioneering vintner Vittorio Sattui, an Italian immigrant who founded St. Helena Wine Cellars in 1885. The Sattui family lived at the winery, even after Prohibition closed the business in 1920. Dario was always fascinated by the stories and photos of the old winery. As a child, he would play in the winery's underground cellars and dream of reviving the family business.Castello di Amorosa produces classically structured Italian-style wines that reflect California's unique climate, soil, and growing conditions.Our philosophy is to make elegant, intensely flavored, and well-balanced wines that showcase the "terroir" of each unique vineyard site.

Dave is a long time friend and agreed to help create the recent Winemaking Chemistry Series - pH and TA episode.  I asked Dave to be a part of that project because of his background in organic chemistry and his ability to describe where in winemaking those principles are most critical.  We ended up going deep on several aspects beyond wine acidity and I made the decision to make this a stand-alone episode.  Dave is currently the winemaker at Sebastiani Vineyards and Winery in Sonoma.  HIs experience making wine at a larger scale than most previous podcasts guests presented the opportunity to discuss the highest-leverage winemaking tools and the advances that oak suppliers have made available to wineries.  The final portion of Dave's episode is our discussion of pH and TA that was featured in the previous Chemistry Series podcast.   LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Sebastiani Vineyards and Winery, Sonoma Louis Latour, Burgundy Tahbilk, Victoria, Australia V.

Vauhdista on helppo viehättyä. Päteekö sama vaaran tunteeseen? Kaikki kotona -lähetyksessä vieraili tiistaina 8.12.2015 kaksi ammattilaista, joille vauhti ja vaaratilanteet ovat verissä; Suomen ainoa stunt -nainen Susanna Uuskoski ja moottoriurheilun monitoimimies, kartanlukija, juontaja Tomi Tuominen. Toimittajana oli Sanna Pirkkalainen. Susanna Uuskosken isä on legendaarinen Grazy Mike, jolla on lähes 30 vuoden kokemus stunteista ja kilpa-autoilusta. Tytär Suski on myös lähtenyt isänsä jalanjäljille ja on harvinaisen ammattinsa ainoa naispuolinen harjoittaja Suomessa. - Kilpa-ajon aloitin jo ihan pienenä, koska isän kanssa siinä maailmassa olin aina pyörinyt. Omien lapsien syntymän jälkeen kilpaileminen ei enää rahallisesti ollut mahdollista, mutta jotain "actionia" piti elämässä olla, ja niin ryhdyin "rysäyttelemään". Tomi Tuomiselle ralli tuli myös veren perintönä. Molemmat vanhemmista toimivat rallissa kartanlukijoina. - Meillä himassa oli aina paljon ralliin liittyviä tavaroita; karttoja, nuotteja ja kartturijuttuja. Äitini oli 60 -luvulla yksi Suomen kovimpia alallaan. Hän ajoi sen aikaisten naiskärkikuljettajien kartanlukijana aina vuoteen -70 saakka. Isä harrastaa lajia edelleen. Molemmat illan vieraat sekä Susanna että Tomi ovat harrastuksiltaan vauhdikkaita, voisi jopa sanoa rämäpäitä. Ärsyttääkö heitä hitaus? Tomi kertoo olleensa nuorempana levottomampi, mutta iän myötä rauhoittuneensa huomattavasti. - Nykyään tykkään tehdä luonnossa pitkiä kävelyretkiä, nautin luonnon hiljaisuudesta. En tarvitse koko ajan hulinaa ympärilleni. Elämä viiden pojan kanssa on koko ajan hektistä, huomauttaa Susanna. - Olen kyllä aika rämäpää ja viiden pojan äidin pitääkin olla, jotta selviää arjesta. Rallimies ei ulosajoja voi välttää. Tomin pahin kolari tapahtui viime vuonna, yhdessä kuljettaja Juho Hännisen kanssa Sardinian MM-rallissa. - Vauhtia oli lasissa noin 152 km/h . Tuntui, että auton ympäri pyöriminen vain jatkuu ja jatkuu. Autosta ei jäänyt mitään jäljelle. MM-sarjassa autojen sisällä on kaksi kameraa, automme molemmat kamerat olivat stopanneet ensimmäiseen osumaan. En siis saanut tietää, montako pyörähdystä kaikkiaan tuli. Pyöriminen autossa kesti niin kauan, että siinä kerkesi jo ajatella, mitä oikein tapahtui. Kyllä siinä pelästyi aika tavalla. Naurahtaen Tomi toteaa, että fyysisellä puolella luumustelma oli ainut vamma mikä tuli. Psyykkiset vammat ovat erikseen, mutta niistä ei puhuta. Susannalle pahin onnettomuus stunt -työssä tapahtui kun hän yritti rikkoa isänsä Crazy Miken nimissä olleen autodominon maailmanennätyksen. - Lähdössä minulle tuli joku ajatuskatkos ja jätin niskatuen pois, koska se ahdistaa niin paljon yhdessä kypärän kanssa käytettäessä. Sattui kyllä aika kovasti niskaan, vauhtia oli noin 120 km/h, kun törmäsin ensimmäiseen autoon. Vauhti oli niin kova, että kolmas auto katkesi kokonaan. Tämän tempun jälkeen oli niska vähän kipeänä. Puhutaanko varikoilla ja huoltoparkeissa pelosta? Sekä ralli- että stunt- maailmassa pelko sanaa ei lausuta ääneen. Se on alitajuista kauhun tasapainon hallitsemista urheilulajeissa, joissa vaara ja loukkaantumisriski ovat läsnä koko ajan. Hän, joka nämä mielen liikkeet hallitsee, on mestari.
