Cyndera welcomes Melissa Townsend - artist, psychic and card creator - to her home in Suisun, California. Over tea, the two discuss the deep process of working with the philosophies of Putanjali through the creation of art work inspired by the yoga sutras. Townsend has dedicated a painting of her personal process to EVERY yoga sutra (Books 1-4). The work of the sutras and the art of Tarot are compared and contrasted. The vital nature of doing such deep artistic work in the age of AI is revealed. Melissa's work can be purchased through her website at https://melissa-townsend.com Melissa's Bio: Melissa Townsend is an Artist, Author, Psychic & Astrologer, and lives in San Francisco with her husband and son. She has been a practitioner of Yoga for over 35 years, and studied Sanskrit for over 15 years, now teaching the language to others.

The unifying force behind all of Melissa's work lie the age-old questions, the ones that push us onto the spiritual path, “Who am I?” and “Why am I here?” All of this is a way to engage with each other, as we all ask and try to answer those questions.

Welcome to our family owned and operated winery and vineyard. Although we are 4th generation grape growers, our story is only just beginning. We are honored to welcome you to our family and are confident that you will enjoy the wine that we pour our heart into.Our ranch is located in the heart of Suisun Valley, California. We currently grow and maintain 7 different varietals of grapes, including: Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Verdellho, Charbono, and Cabernet Sauvignon. All of which are managed and cared for by our winemaker, Brian Babcock, and his team of vineyard workers.We have owned our ranch for over 35 years. When Brian's father, Howard, purchased the property, it was planted with cherry, prune and pear trees. These orchards were cared for by our family. Brian, his sister, and parents harvested the fruit and sold it at our family's fruit stand. Years later, the orchards were replanted with vineyards. Many of which we still work today. Over the years, new varieties have been added to make up what we currently grow.
Mangels Vineyards is dedicated to making premium wines from selected varietals grown in the Suisun Valley. We strive for quality and enhancing the characteristics of each varietal when producing our small lots. The Mangels family is continuing the tradition of winemaking in the Suisun Valley started by their great grandfather over 100 years ago.Louis Mangels arrived in New York City in 1866 with his parents. At 14 years of age he had just emigrated from Germany and immediately left for the West Coast, by way of Panama. There was a distant connection to the Spreckles, another German family that was already experiencing financial success in San Francisco. They arrived on June 22, 1866.During the next ten years, through the Spreckles connection, Louis learned to be a cooper. He also studied and saved enough money to buy 240 acres of land in 1876. He planted grape vines. By the following year, Claus Mangels was born to the Louis Mangels family. Thirteen years later, in 1889, Louis expanded his operation when he purchased the inventory of the Schultz Brothers Winery. He continued working the ranch; and by 1893, Louis Mangels decided that it was time to build his first wine cellar. Solano Winery went on to become one of the largest producing wineries in the state of California.By 1906, the Mangels winery was producing 500,000 gallons of wine a year. Just the year before, Louis's son Claus married Celia Rohwer. The family then took another interesting road to expansion. In 1910, Louis Mangels brought his two oldest sons into a business partnership, naming the company L. Mangels and Sons. By 1920, Prohibition hit the United States, with L. Mangels and Sons being one of seven wineries allowed to continue to legally produce wine for the government. A lot of the tonnage was shipped to the East Coast, to large eastern markets. Within a year, Claus Mangels became sole proprietor.When it became unprofitable to ship grapes to the East Coast, a partnership with the Colonial Grape Products Company was formed. This entity became known as the Solano Grape Products Company. By 1932, the Solano Grape Products Company was incorporated under the name of Solano Winery. After Prohibition in 1933, the government began to bond wineries. "Solano Winery" became Bonded Winery Number 42. Claus planted more vineyards and leased another 153 acres with a Bonzi Vineyard at Monticello, in Napa County. After the repeal, the Solano Winery's wine cellar was well stocked with many products, including both aged (fortified) sweet and dry wines. The building and cooperage were rented from Claus Mangels. Wine sales were brisk, especially the Solano Winery "house" brand. This led to the selection of its own name, which became "Chief Solano." Other successful brands were Cordelia, Solano, and C. R. Mangels.In just two years, the market for the Mangels wines had spread over the nation and to foreign lands. In 1936, Claus Mangels purchased the stock formerly held by the Colonial Grape Products Company, which gave him 97 percent of the stock held in the company. One year later, Solano Winery was producing 350,000 gallons of wine a year, crushing nearly all of the grapes in Suisun Valley. By 1943, faced with the need to renovate and upgrade the winery, Claus Mangels decided to sell Solano Winery to Horace O. Lanza of Sunnyside Winery. Current production at that time was between 450,000 and 500,000 gallons of wine a year.Horace O. Lanza was an official of the California Grape Products Company of San Francisco, and had been a business partner for six years during prohibition. With the sale, however, Claus maintained his home, vineyards, and other property. By 1950, the winery was no longer in operation. Claus passed away in 1950, and his son Lewis inherited the property. Lewis expanded the livestock operation while continuing to grow grapes for the Sebastiani Winery and Christian Brothers.In 1973, Gary Mangels joined his father Lewis in the family ranching business. In 1988, Gary purchased land that would eventually become Mangels Vineyards. He planted his first vines in 1991. Over time Gary has learned which varieties are best suited for his location in Suisun Valley. In 2009, Gary and winemaker Gina Richmond founded Mangels Vineyards.Presently, they are producing premium varietals from Mangels Vineyards, Suisun Valley.
Tolenas Winery is a family-owned and operated vineyard and winery committed to producing high quality wines that speak to the terrior of Suisun Valley, California. Founded by Lisa and Cliff Howard in 2015, Tolenas Winery is the next chapter of a family legacy that can be traced back to over 40 years ago.Lisa's family has lived in Suisun Valley since 1982. After moving to the area, her parents, Steve and Linda Tenbrink, began farming and eventually started their own winery, Tenbrink Winery and Vineyards. Those early years on her parents' farm were foundational in shaping the winemaking philosophy Lisa and Cliff would later adopt.In 2010, 55 acres of prunes, wine grapes, and almonds went up for sale in Suisun Valley. Though Lisa and Cliff were living in Arizona at the time, they both jumped at the opportunity to leave a good life for a great life and move back to Lisa's hometown to embark on their wine industry journey. With the help and guidance of Lisa's family, the couple became self-taught winemakers ready to launch their own winery.Since those early days, Lisa and Cliff have transitioned all 55 acres of their property to growing wine grapes and have expanded from producing 96 cases a year to more than 1,000 cases. Today, Lisa and Cliff are proud second-generation winemakers on a mission to produce wines as naturally as possible while maintaining the quality and regionality. They are committed to protecting the land and preserving the integrity of their wines. This includes taking a more hands-on approach and abstaining from disturbing the vines with chemicals or unnecessary additives.The name for the winery's label was born after Lisa found an old deed that listed the 55-acre property as Lot #38 of Rancho Tolenas, the Mexican land grant that spanned Solano and Napa Counties in the 1800s. The name is an homage to the pioneer spirit and history of the Suisun Valley. It also speaks to Lisa and Cliff's goals of continuing to grow Tolenas Winery into a California wine industry pioneer.Over the course of the last five years, Tolenas Winery has focused on perfecting the quality of its exclusive family of wines. This list includes premium wines like a Suisun Valley Red Blend, Rosé, Sauvignon Blanc, and the Eclipse, a white pinot noir that won a gold medal at the International Women's Wine Competition. In the future, the company hopes to add a sparkling wine to this list and a tasting room to the property as well.

Don Huffman Don Huffman is our guest on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger today. Don produces wine under the Rockville Cellars label and he is also an expert in wine closures. Visit Don Huffman's Twitter page for up-to-the-minute information. Don Huffman also has this Instagram page. Among other things Don Huffman is the head of Rockville Cellars, a new winery founded in 2018. The name Rockville comes from the name of a small area near Fairfield, between Fairfield and Green Valley. It's about 750 ft. elevation and the fields are full of large red rocks. They have estate grown wines, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc. They also make other brands, like the Sir Pig, which is a Rosé made from Grenache and Counoise grapes. Counoise s a rare variety known for its acidity and floral flavors, which is hard to handle because it oxidizes quickly. The name Sir Pig comes from a nickname he had in 4H where he raised pigs. Don Huffman is a wine closure expert. He was a creative director in the ad business for 25 years and his first job out of college was for an ad agency whose client Nomacork still makes top quality synthetic corks for wine bottles. With that account, his company became Vinventions. He is the director of quality and director of sales. He is the first director of sales there who is also a winemaker. The Sir Pig Rosé is very dry, with earthy aromatics and peach/stone fruit flavors. It is so dry it needs some food. It is unfiltered, so it also has some sediment in the bottle. When he filtered it, he almost lost all its color, so he made it a coarse-filtered wine. Suisun Valley, where he is located, is close to Napa County, about eleven miles away. He also has a Swope Family Estates wine named after his grandmother. It is a tribute to his family who came to Suisun valley as farm workers in the early 1900s. Visit their website to see a beautiful old photo of his family, taken in 1913. The wine is a Tempranillo, a grape grown mostly in Spain. The Spanish usually age it two years before releasing it. This is a 2017. He calls it a fire vintage. The fire stopped 80 yards from his winery. He harvested on Saturday then had to flee for six days. When he got back to his harvested grapes, some fermentation was already happening. He used neutral barrels and let the variety speak. It's not very complex and easy drinking. At Mancas corner, in Fairfield, there are a couple of small local business worth noting: The Mancas Steakhouse is a great restaurant. The Filling Station is a place that offers many tastings from wine producers who don't have their own tasting rooms. Don Huffman has a carbonic macerated Merlot from 2017, also a Swope label. He explains what carbonic maceration is. Traditionally, the grapes are crushed and the juice is in contact with the skins. In carbonic maceration, you put the whole clusters in the tank. It's called “inter-cellular respiration” the fermentation begins inside each berry. When you open the vat back up in a month, the berries are fully fermented. You can pop one in your mouth and it's 14% alcohol. Dan explains that people made a mistake with Merlot, a couple of decades ago, planting it in a lot in the wrong places, and for a while, this gave Merlot a bad reputation. This wine has good acidity, it needs to be decanted and left for about an hour. They make barely 650 cases per year. 20 years ago, there was a crisis in the closure industry. Many alternative closures sprang up making different cork alternatives. His company Nomacork makes the latest generation of high quality corks designed to last 25 years. Steve Jaxon asks Don about screw caps. Don says that screwcaps are convenient but he describes other factors than just the cap, that determine how well it works. For example there are two types of liners, one is tighter than the other. They explain how a winery has to make an informed choice about bottling and closure ba...
