Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Barbie Blonde yellow – a very pleasing color greets the eye and hibiscus flowers, lime blossom, kumquat, loquat stone, Yosemite minerals for the nose. Just the right amount of crispness satisfies the senses and finishes round and creamy like the meringue on a pie.

Blend: 70% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Semillon

    The delicious 2012 Proprietary White, a blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Semillon, offers exotic notes of melons, mangoes, pineapples and other tropical fruits. This dry, nicely textured, impressive white was made by well-known winemaker Pam Starr.

Bridesmaid, California
For years, Pam Starr (Crocker & Starr, Adastra) and Drew Neiman (Kongsgaard and Arietta) have been crafting exceptional wines under their own labels and for others. Now they have joined together to produce a deliciously fun and rewarding negotiant project known simply as Bridesmaid. Both wines are a blend of barrels from their own projects and from an enviable "group of friends" who shall remain anonymous, but are all stellar in stature. While the old adage goes "always a bridesmaid and never a bride" these wines are blends of extreme high quality and it is our good fortune that they are released at prices only a fraction of their predestined counterparts.

Sometimes light and crisp, other times rich and creamy, Bordeaux White Blends typically consist of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Often, a small amount of Muscadelle or Sauvignon Gris is included for added intrigue. Popularized in Bordeaux, the blend is often mimicked throughout the New World. Somm Secret—Sauternes and Barsac are usually reserved for dessert, but they can be served before, during or after a meal. Try these sweet wines as an aperitif with jamón ibérico, oysters with a spicy mignonette or during dinner alongside hearty Alsatian sausage.

One of the world's most highly regarded regions for wine production as well as tourism, the Napa Valley was responsible for bringing worldwide recognition to California winemaking. In the 1960s, a few key wine families settled the area and hedged their bets on the valley's world-class winemaking potential—and they were right.

The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980s, when producers scooped up vineyard lands and planted vines throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, and today Napa is home to hundreds of producers ranging from boutique to corporate. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux blends. White wines from Napa Valley are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.

Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that claim specific wine characteristics based on situation, slope and soil. Farthest south and coolest from the influence of the San Pablo Bay is Carneros, followed by Coombsville to its northeast and then Yountville, Oakville and Rutherford. Above those are the warm St. Helena and the valley's newest and hottest AVA, Calistoga. These areas follow the valley floor and are known generally for creating rich, dense, complex and smooth red wines with good aging potential. The mountain sub appellations, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs, include Stags Leap District, Atlas Peak, Chiles Valley (farther east), Howell Mountain, Mt. Veeder, Spring Mountain District and Diamond Mountain District. Napa Valley wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from a lot of time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
