From the Villa Rene Lalique tasting room James Suckling, Contributing Editor Jack Suckling and Editor Nick Stock summarize their week-long trip through #Alsace during which they tasted more than 500 wines. Among many things, they discuss the rise of pinot noir in Alsace and the sweet-versus-dry conundrum in light of rising global temperatures.To read the full report and notes, and watch the video version, click here.
On California Wine Country today, Dan Berger is back from 3 weeks in New Zealand. Barry Herbst from Bottle Barn is also in, with Steve Jaxon. In New Zealand it is the end of their Summer. They had warm weather and a really early harvest. The whole situation in New Zealand has changed, in terms of wine. Dan has visited there 10 times in the last several years and has followed their growth. Dan shipped about 4 cases of wine back but it is still “on the waters” and will be delivered later. The cold climate in New Zealand allows for crisp white wines. They leave a little sugar to make them appealing, not sweet but to balance the acidity. So today Barry Herbst has brought several Chardonnays for tasting. Today's Wines Tasted: 2016 Stonestreet Bear Point Vineyard Chardonnay 2017 Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2005 Vayonne White Burgundy 2016 Lynmar Chardonnay First is a 2016 Stonestreet Bear Point Vineyard Chardonnay, from Alexander Valley. Normally Dan says you wouldn’t do a second Malolactic fermentation to cut the higher acidity that you don’t get much in Alexander Valley. But here they harvested early enough so it has a lot of acid. It emulates the New Zealand style. It’s broad and rich, soft and silky, but not lacking in acidity. Stonestreet is a Jackson family project Dan has brought his slide projector, which has a cooling fan, that’s the whirr we can hear in the background. Dan’s slide show on the radio [from 7:00 to 14:18] is a world exclusive! There are views from the 53rd floor of the hotel in Auckland and views from the air. They also see a vineyard called Mount Difficulty due to its hard ground, and lots of other views. After that they taste one Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, which was Dan Berger’s wine of the week, a 2017 Greywacke. It’s one of the great wines he’s ever taste. It tastes like Sauvignon Blanc at first but the aftertaste is like Chardonnay. Greywacke is the name of the soil in the region where this grows. Kevin Judd, their winemaker, has pioneered this style. Marlborough is the district outside of Auckland. It was put into old, used barrels and was put in “dirty” with all the lees and unfiltered materials in the barrels with the wine. So it’s wine in a sort of feral state. It needs 6 months or more for it to develop his character. Barry says it has a lot of texture. They taste a 2005 Vayonne White Burgundy, from the Chablis region. They have chalky soil and the wines have high acid and age well. You’d guess it was 3-5 years old, but it has nuances in the aftertaste of an aged wine. Dan suggests smoked trout served with a slice of lemon and a glass of this good Chablis. Chablis in the US is a generic but in France it’s considered premiere quality. The Vayonne vineyard has a good reputation. The producer is Daniel Etienne Defaix, Chablis Premiere Cru Vayonne, Domaine du Vieux Château. A Chardonnay from Lynmar Estates is next. The winery is located in the dead center of Russian River, near the Lagoon. (Dan had a bottle of their 1998 Syrah which was “really good.”) They have a garden with a pizza oven. It’s near Dehlinger, suggests Dan, if you’re making an itinerary. This Lynmar Chardonnay tastes like a white burgundy or a Mersault, to Barry. Dan says it has plenty of acidity and is one that you would cellar for a few years. But you have to taste it to see if “it has the backbone to go the distance” as Barry says. The New Zealand style allows the wine to get “rich and lousy” says Dan, a funky, feral smell. It tells you if the wine is serious. Barry Herbst is headed to France for a few weeks. He will be touring the Boisset family properties. They have many properties in France as they have in California. All are invited to sign up at the Bottle Barn website for their special offers on their new online store. They pour on Fridays and Saturdays at the store. There will be a Zinfandel tasting in early April, tickets will sell out quickly at the website.
In this Episode of Spilling the Truth, Damien and Jonathan are joined by advanced sommelier Jason Caballero from Bourbon Steak in Scottsdale, AZ to talk everything sommelier. Jason leads the local Arizona somm prep classes and will also be taking his master sommelier exam later in 2019. The trio talk about everything from their humble wine beginnings and mentors to their epiphany wines. This episode is a great look into the sommelier profession and the effort it takes to achieve the highest designation from the Court of Master Sommeliers. Jason is a wealth of knowledge and passion and it really shows when he is talking. We hope you enjoy listening and be sure to go visit Jason at Bourbon Steak any time you are in town.

Jeff Hinchliffe, winemaker at Hanna Winery, is our guest, and Rene Byck from Paradise Ridge is also here. Today’s Wines Tasted: 2015 Hanna Red Ranch Malbec 2017 Hanna Bismark Mtn. Vineyard Riesling 2017 Hanna Sauvignon Blanc 2016 Paradise Ridge Pinot Noir 2017 Paradise Ridge Sauvignon Blanc Steve asks how the harvest is going. Jeff says you don’t really know until after it’s over. You can only look into the crystal ball so much, and you only know how well you’ve done afterwards. 2011 was the most difficult small harvest and 1989 was the most difficult ever. The weather has been perfect for ripening for the last week, but it was hot earlier. This has been an unpredictable year, with no consistency in terms of yield. So far they have been picking Sauvignon Blanc so far and it’s keeping him busy. Jeff found his way to UC Davis and worked as an enologist even if he had dreams of producing beer, not wine. He was a beer guy and went to school to become a brewer. His professor told him there was no future in microbreweries. He started at Christian Brothers in 1983 and discovered wine after he tasted a Dry Creek 1979 Sauvignon Blanc. After a while he met Chris Hanna, President of Hanna Winery, and he started a 20-plus year relationship. They are a small independent family-owned winery. Hanna was started in 1985. Chris’ dad is a retired heart surgeon. They are a small, nimble company that can react quickly to new ideas. Today they grow most of their own Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Dan says Hanna is a major producer in terms of quality, even with a smaller volume of production. They taste two Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blancs of 2017, from Hanna and Paradise Ridge. They won three gold medals for their Sauvignon Blanc at the Harvest Fair. Jeff refers to growing Sauvignon Blanc as “taming the green monster.” He grows his grapes in shade, which lets more aromas and flavors develop. He prefers to create the conditions that make his wine special in the vineyard, rather than in the winery. Rene Byck says they lost their 2017 Sauvignon Blanc in the fire, and this vintage is made from acquired grapes, not their own from the estate. They compare the flavors of both wines. They are tasting a Riesling. Steve detects pear in the nose, Dan Berger gets kiwi. Not floral, not honey. It has good minerality that holds the wine for a couple of years. He knows that in a couple of years those flavors will open up and it will be superb. Jeff says he has many vintages that are "really tightly wound" at first that benefit from some years of cellaring. This is a 2017 Riesling, and they have some grapes including some Riesling grapes that Jeff picked today. All they use to make their Sauvignon Blanc are the grapes. The Cab are the small grapes, the St. Vicaire are a rare Bordeaux variety. They will pick their Sauvignon Blanc on Friday. The red varieties, the Malbec, St. Vicaire and Cab Sauv are several weeks away from harvest. Dan says this Riesling is one that you could put away. Not all of them are like that but this one is. Last week he opened a 2002 Riesling from Michigan that was astounding! Rene Byck talks about a party being held on Sept. 22, a fund raising auction for the revival of the county after the fires. They end up tasting a Hanna 2015 Malbec with Alexander Valley fruit. Dan says this is also a polished wine, pure fruit, blueberries and chocolate. It's a very sophisticated wine, says Dan. Jeff notes that there is very little Malbec grown here and lots in Argentina. He went there to learn about it and everyone had a different secret. Malbec is easy to make, not easy to grow but it's forgiving to make.
