Vacation, Part 2
We left Tahoe on Sunday, spent Sunday night with her parents in Sacramento
(Asahi, no wine). Monday we went to San Mateo, visited her cousin (along with
the cousin's husband, daughter, 2 bloodhounds, and 8 adorable 6-week-old
puppies). Dinner that night at a pretty good neighborhood restaurant, La
Lanterna. Nice appetizers assortment, good veal milanese. As cousin and her
husband met at AA, I was only one having wine, a glass of Wente Sauvignon Blanc
(unknown vintage). Good acidity, fig and apple, pleasantly herbal.
The following AM, we went to another cousin's , in Benicia. They're more
interested in wine, and wanted to show us Napa Valley. We packed a picnic and
started heading up Highway 29. We stopped for a tasting (and our picnic) at
Trefethen. Somewhere in my travels, my notes were lost for this day. But I
remember REALLY disliking the Viognier, which seemed flabby and muddled. Is
there oak here? I thought the Pinot Noir was a bit thin and short. The best
wine of the tasting by far was the 2002 Estate Chardonnay, the oak restrained,
good acidity, bright fruit and a touch of minerality. The Cabernet Sauvignon
was pretty good, though not up to the level of the Chard. The Trefethen
property is quite lovely, and we enjoyed the picnic.
Folks had warned me of the touristy side of Napa, but I was really unprepared.
The Trefethen tasting was $10, any given day in Westchester one could find a
store offering a free tasting with a wider variety. And Trefethen seemed to
offer a better deal than most. I passed on tasting at Niebaum-Coppola, where
$12.50 buys you a few sips of their supermarket level wines. But the property
(old Inglenook estate) is lovely. I enjoyed the corkscrew collection at the
Culinary Institute of America's westcoast branch, and Betsy enjoyed herself in
the giftshop there. Roger made a note of their upcoming crème brûlée class. We
agreed to enjoy the drive, rather than worry about tastings. Roger and Rosanne
took us to the Auberge du Soleil, where we enjoyed a cold seafood platter
(shrimp, oysters, prawns, etc) on the beautiful patio looking down on the
valley. A glass of the Auberge self-labeled Chardonnay was typical and
refreshing. If I go to Napa again, we'll concentrate more on the Silverado
trail.
We had dinner at Bistro Jeanty in Yountville. Very good, I enjoyed the
escargots appetizer and the veal kidneys. A lost cause trying to find a good
match for the 4 main courses (my kidneys, plus coq au vin, lamb, and fish) ,
and Roger is a strictly red man, so I went with what I hoped was a food
friendly red, the 2000 Unti "Petit Frère" Syrah ( Dry Creek Valley). And it was
food-friendly. Bright, fruity Syrah, deep red fruit and a hint of smoked meat
along with some (nice) herb/veggie notes. Fully ready to drink and
uncomplicated, pleasant dinner wine. B+ After dinner a glass of the 2000
Rieussec (Sauternes). Nice balanced acidity to counter the sweetness, not as
intensely botrytis-driven as most Rieussecs I've had, good for an "off"
vintage. B/B+
We spent the night in Benicia, then met ANOTHER cousin of Betsy's for
breakfast. We finally got on the road to Southern California by 11. Going down
101, we decided to stop and visit one vineyard in Paso Robles. Tablas Creek
seemed to be a good option. We took a beautiful drive down Peachy Canyon Road,
to Vineyard Drive. Ended up at Tablas Creek. Friendly informative staff (and a
really nice dog!). $5 tasting fee gets one a nice variety of wines (and a
souvenir glass). The wines:
2002 Côtes de Tablas Blanc - melon, flowers, and peaches, light mineral notes,
decent acidity considering grapes (36%viognier,30% marsanne, 26%grenache blanc,
8% roussane) and climate. B/B+
2002 Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc (70% Roussane, 25% gren. b., 5% viog.)- round ,
fat, and delicious, could be a good CdP blanc. Good acidity, favorite of
tasting. A-
2002 Rousanne- honeysuckle and dried apricots, tasty. B+
2003 Rosé (64% mouvedre, 28% grenache noir, 25 % counoise)-sturdy, big rosé,
strawberry fruit, no oakiness, good. B/B+
2001 Côtes de Tablas (38% mouvedre, 34% syrah,24% grenache noir, 4% counoise)
-nice spicy red, but rather short finish. B
2000 Esprit de Beaucastel (35% mouvedre, 26% syrah,25% grenache noir, 14%
counoise) - earth and red fruit, could easily pass for a mid-priced beefy CdP.
B+/A-
2002 Las Tablas Estates Glenrose Valley (35% syrah, 29% mouvedre, 26 % grenache
noir, 10% counoise)- if I understand correctly this was made from Tablas
Creek/Beaucastel cuttings, but grown by another grower. Pleasant ripe red, very
good, but without the character of the Esprit. B+
A couple of notes of interest from Tablas Creek- they didn't make a Esprit
rouge in 2001, but think the 2002 will be best yet. As they said they grew only
Rhône varietals, with the exception of the Chardonnay for their "Antithesis"
(good name!), I was surprised to find a Vermentino offered. Apparently it IS
grown in Rhône, under name Rolle. I'd recommend Tablas Creek to anyone visiting
Paso Robles area (they have a free tour, we missed by half-hour). Nice place.
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a
good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where
it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy,
and certainly not of consistency

Very wise decision, Dale. This gets said from time to time here, but it
cannot be overemphasized: visitors to Napa should avoid 29 AT ALL COSTS,
especially on weekends and in the summer months. Not only is the
traffic horrendous, but -- as the main artery -- 29 attracts the worst
aspects of touristy Napa Valley businesses.
<SNIP Tablas Creek notes>
As you may know, Dale, we tasted there last Dec. and had many of the
same wines you did.
My impressions were similar to yours (how about that?).

We also missed the tour (it was puring rain when we were there). Did
they mention that BATF forbids them using the word "Rolle" to label
their Vermentino?

I actually remembered others suggesting that, but we were with our hosts, and
it seemed impolite to argue with what the locals would like to do. I think if I
go again, I'll aim for Silverado trail (Phelps, maybe) and way north Napa like
Montelena.
It was pretty funny on highway seeing people going for tastings at Sutter Home
(oops, I'm getting elitist)

I had forgotten you had gone, but just dejanewsed it, pretty similar
impressions on wines.
best to Jean!

The best idea is to go to Sonoma County the next time there is a desire to
go to Napa. Going to restaurants in Napa can be handled very easily by
coming into the valley from the north end from Healdsburg. There are very
very few wineries in Sonoma County that have tasting fees.

Though Highway 29 is the biggest magnet for tourists and mediocre wineries,
there are a few standouts among the crowd. True, is completely unbearable in
the summertime and on weekends piling up with single lane traffic, but having
lived there for a bit I do appreciate just how dense it is. It was pretty nice
being able to stop off on the way home from work to a few wineries and taste a
few dozen wines with people that were passionate about them; even if they
werent all something that I would buy. Some of my favorites from 29 would
include Rutherford Grove Winery, Milat, Cardinal, St. Clement, and recently
Provenence. All relatively small and intimate but producing a few standout
wines.
The Silverado trail is wonderful. Personally I am the most found of Stags
Leap District wines, so I spent a lot of time over there. Sinsky, Regusci,
Clos du Val, Cas Nuestra, etc., all places that I go to time and time again.
Sometimes it can be easy to take Napa as a whole for granted given the
worldly scope of wine, but to have it as your back yard, or at least as a
feasible destination spot is pretty commendable.
Great notes Dale, you really put me back there for now.

Amen. Sunday morning, just for a jaunt, we ran out to
St. Clement. A little hint to visitors: most people
seem to start south and work their way north. So drive
up to Calistoga for breakfast and work your way south.
You'd be stunned, it's like having your own private
Napa Valley until after lunch.
Then, shunt over to the Silverado Trail for the
afternoon.

I enjoyed Bistro Jeanty last time I was there. I will be there again on
this Saturday.
Great Place.

Good point Dana, there is certainly an advantage to working your way down from
north to south in the valley to avoid the flow; and be sure to check out St.
Clement's Sauvignon Blanc. On par with St. Suprey as far as a nice steely,
unoaked SB with really racy acidity.

Heavens yes. Funny, there's still a few bottles of it
right here (the StC SB... super stuff)
Also, as I mentioned in another thread, even my back-yard
friends are growing some great SB, Ledgewood Creek Winery.
steely, unoaked, fruity and supported by a minerally body.
Gawd I love California.

I try to go there everytime I'm in Napa. That's probably as close as
I'll ever get to the French Laundry. The food at Bistro Jeanty is always
top rate.

I enjoyed a great "bistro-type" meal at Jeanty at Jack's in San Francisco last
month. Some of the best cassoulet I've ever had. If you can't get to the
valley, Jeanty at Jack's is a great option.
