Holidays in Sonoma – Cline Cellars and Jacuzzi Family Vineyards

January 21, 2015 by Leave a Comment

This is my last on my series on Sonoma and my visit there for a long holiday weekend.

On Thanksgiving day, there were two wineries open- Cline Cellars and Jacuzzi Family Vineyards. These two wineries were not originally on our wishlist, but because of the happenstance of them being open, we visited. And, we had a fun time trying these value wines and visiting. Both had some really unique attractions to their grounds. Both handle groups well too and have friendly, efficient pourers.

Both of these wineries are owned by the same family venture and are located basically across the street from each other on Highway 121.

We stopped at Cline Cellars first. Cline offers sustainably farmed wines using a great variety of grapes, which was fun to try. They do not have a tasting fee to try 5 of their non-reserve wines, or it is only $5 to try a flight of three reserve wines.

They also have several special attractions on the ground so you can walk around to stretch your legs viewing their carp pond (bring quarters to buy a little fish food out of their machine), their various exotic birds, and two adorable miniature burrows named Pudding and Fancy.

We were not in the right time of year for it, but they also have thousands of roses around the property. As you walk to visit the other ponds, you will probably notice some humorous signs warning of ridiculous animals that might be in the waters(such as sharks…) – and there is California Mission Museum on the property (free admission) and a train car (seemingly used for special occasions) to peer in as well. If you stop by, make sure you walk the grounds and not just taste. If you are visiting Sonoma with family, this is one that would please everyone.

Across the street, Jacuzzi Family Vineyards with their stone structure and large spaces and decorative elements seems ready for any special occasion. I also admired their amphora shaped shrubbery. Yes, this Jacuzzi family is the same one that invented the bath and spa that still bears their name.

This is a place I would suggest trying their wide variety of grapes they make into wines (they have almost 2 dozen wines!), and after picking out a favorite get a glass or bottle and enjoy a little time here chatting and relaxing. Like their sibling Cline, there is no tasting fee to try 5 wines. For a few a small fee, you can get the Chocolate Shooters, which is a chocolate cup filled with a bit of wine. Our pourer was very friendly and knowledgable. I wasn’t surprised to learn that I liked several of their reds because they have volcanic rock (I always seem to love volcanic soil wines), particularly their smokey Barbera. My friend and I ended up sending a case home – and we got confirmation that they shipped it the next day. Yeah, that means the day after Thanksgiving, so efficient!

Also like their sibling Cline, they use sustainable practices. For instance, they use a “Compost tea,” consisting of molasses, fish emulsion, rock dust and microbes fertilize the vines. And, they use sheep to control weed growth and pull the rest out by hand. By hand. Wow.

At Jacuzzi’s location is The Olive Press, a whole room almost as large as the tasting room for the wine, where you can try various combinations of olive oil and vinegar infusions and seasonings. They really have some excellent combinations and ideas, such as Lime Olive Oil and Coconut Balsamic Vinegar, or Jalapeno Olive Oil and Peach Balsamic Vinegar, and I love the Fig Balsamic on a cheese plate.

Here’s a good look at some some of the grounds at Jacuzzi: notice the statue wearing shades!

Holidays in Sonoma – Local Cheese in Sonoma

January 14, 2015 by 11 Comments

Besides local beer, I am always looking for local cheeses as well when I travel. When you are in Sonoma, there are several to choose from- in fact, there is a whole Cheese Trail if you are so inclined. With our Thanksgiving weekend visit the timeline was too short to fit such a trip in, but it’s an interesting activity to consider for a future visit for me.

Besides, you will inevitably want some bread, crackers, and cheese as a absorbant snack while you are out on the wine tasting room visits, right? And, while here you want to choose to support artisans here by getting the local cheese in Sonoma right?
Our Sonoma wine tasting picnic with cheese, bread, grapes, hummus, and various spreads

The most convenient cheese stop is right in Sonoma Plaza, in fact it’s even right by a free parking lot! That stop is The Sonoma Cheese Factory. Inside you will find a whole two cases worth of various cheese they produce, as well as a large deli that offers other products for a Sonoma picnic, microbrews and local wine for you to take home as well- even BBQ! They offer some tasty sounding sandwiches or you can build your own selecting from among 16 different proteins, half a dozen types of bread, almost a dozen cheeses, and more than 20 extras varying from brown sugar pecan mustard to three types of aioli or bacon, jalapenos, roasted red peppers, even sauerkraut. You can make your sandwich a lunchbox to take with you if you’d like.

In the cheese cases I was mentioning, they have several that you can sample, and when I saw they had a buy 2 get 1 wedge of Sonoma Cheese Factory Cheese (nicknamed SCF) I couldn’t resist over-purchasing even though there were just four of us.

Most of the cheeses at SCF are Jack type cheeses, and vary from the traditional to some of our favorite flavorings that we picked out of Garlic Jack, Habanero Jack, Pesto jack and Mediterranean Jack Cheeses. They also had some aged Cheddars. The three we ended up getting that you see are the square aged cheddar, the white is the Garlic Jack, and the one with all those flecks is the Mediterranean Jack.

While you are here in Sonoma Plaza, I might suggest you grab some bread at nearby (literally a block away) Basque Boulangerie, which has some great sourdough and French breads. If it’s late and Basque is closed, you might also consider visiting the local grocery store Sonoma Market where I also appreciated they had lots of local bread.

Also nearby to Sonoma Plaza is Vella Cheese, Besides Jack cheeses and Cheddar, they also have some Italian style cheeses. And, they only use vegetarian rennet.

Another option is the Epicurean Connection Cafe, Beer and Wine Bar, where you can stock up on goods and also get some tasty versions of cheesy sandwiches (including more than half a dozen grilled cheese sandwiches), tartines, crepes, salads and cheese plates. Some of the spreads you saw in my first photo of the post are from Epicurean, including a triple cream Les Trois Fromage made from cow, goat, and and sheep milk.

My favorite cheese visit though was much more out of the way. This visit the cheese maker Matos Cheese Factory. The name says Factory, but you are going right to the Farm. Matos Cheese Factory only makes one type of cheese, St Jorge Cheese. This cheese’s heritage comes from Sao Jorge, Portugal, the original homeland of the founders Joe and Mary Matos.

It involved driving up towards Sebastopol as we were heading towards Iron Horse Vineyard anyway, and was only a little 10 minute drive from California Route 116 anyway that you would be taking. Be prepared to be driving a bit longer than you might think on an all dirt driveway up to the farm buildings. And, you are literally parking in the space amid their barns, there is no parking lot. As you are driving up to the farm you will even pass by the cows who produced the milk for the cheeses. You can see they are so impressed by your visit and getting this far.

As you walk in you might encounter one of the farm cats like we did, or the farm dog as well. The little shop has a little bell that rings as you open the door so that wherever they may be working they then know you are there. The little shop is really more of a counter that only fits a handful of people, though it also offers a glimpse into the much larger aging room.

They are happy to let you taste two version of their St George, also known as St Jorge Cheese – a younger version and an older version, so you can contrast the more buttery younger version that is like a cross between Havarti and Manchego, and also we tried a more aged one that turns crumbly and is a bit more like Parmesan.

Your whole visit will likely only last 15 minutes or so, but I left with really delicious cheese and the happy feeling of buying directly from the farmers themselves – in fact in my case, directly from the granddaughter of founder Joe Matos himself. They only accept cash or check.

I didn’t have time for this last two cheese locations, but in Petaluma there are also the options of Marin Cheese, which produces a softer cheese in a French style like brie and camembert, and the Petaluma Creamery that offers tries of their Spring  Hill Jersey Cheese, and Petaluma Creamery  cheeses as well as pizza and ice cream.

Have you had cheeses in Sonoma?

Holidays in Sonoma – The Girl and The Fig Thanksgiving

December 29, 2014 by 4 Comments

As soon as we picked Sonoma as a destination, one of the first things I had on my must do list was a meal at The Girl and The Fig. This classic restaurant of Sonoma has been around for 17 years – originally in Glen Ellyn but now located in Sonoma Plaza. It’s goal is the same though- celebrating Sonoma seasonal bounty with French countryside preparations. Because of that, the menu changes every week – as does the pairing wine flight they always offer. They were open on Thanksgiving so we decided to make this venerable restaurant our special destination for our holiday meal.

It was a little weird to not be cooking this year, but it freed us to have a very laid back Thanksgiving day that included time for getting a takeout breakfast, watching the Thanksgiving parade, a hike, reading, watching a little Netflix, and even wine tasting at two wineries that were open! And, this was a meal that stuffed me just as much in celebrating American bounty while also spending quality time with people I care about.

For Thanksgiving, each of us was given a complimentary amuse bouche, a choice of starter, entree, and dessert if we wanted to dine from their special Thanksgiving menu (which we all chose to do). I took a bite of the bread as I was enjoying a cocktail called Fig ‘n Awesome with a local fig infused spirit, sweet vermouth, chinato and orange peel. It was a serious sipper with nice layers of flavor. As for the bread, I guess I’m a bit spoiled because I prefer my bread to be soft, and these were a bit hard for me.

Another interesting cocktail they had which I almost got was the She’s Complicated that includes gin, St Germain elderflower liqueur, melon, cucumber, basil and lemon, as well as a “fig fashioned” and “fig kiss”, so you may want to consider perusing the cocktail list carefully and not just the wine list. They do have a bar and lounge area in the front area (the restaurant is also located as part of the Sonoma Hotel), and as a plus you can also see the cheese and charcuterie plates being made at a station right there! Watching him put it together convinced me that I had to have some at dinner.

The amuse bouche for the girl and the fig Thanksgiving 2014 menu was a cute little country biscuit with house cured ham and mustard aioli (the fourth one, the vegetarian one is on a separate plate without ham).

Not part of the Thanksgiving dinner menu, we ordered separately a cheese and charcuterie selection that also included spiced nuts, olives, fig cake and compote. We asked for meat to be on a separate plate from the cheese for our vegetarian.

Next, for our starters our group ordered the famous Fig and Arugula Salad with toasted pecans, pancetta, Laura Chenel Chevre and a Fig and port vinaigrette, Butternut Squash Soup with Pt Reyes blue cheese croutons, and the incredibly beautiful Roasted Beet Salad with mache, chevre crema, grated horseradish, and tarragon vinaigrette

It was a really tough choice for our entree. You had the choice of traditional Thanksgiving with a Roasted Turkey Roulade with cornbread stuffing, delicata squash, spiced cranberry sauce and pan gravy…

Or go with the always holiday or special event classic of the Slow Roasted Prime Rib with caramelized brussels sprouts, potato gratin and natural jus. Man, this was monstrous!

And then desserts! Pumpkin Cheesecake with chocolate graham cracker crust, creme fraiche, and pumpkin seed brittle, Pecan Tart with brown sugar crema, and Apple Tarte Tatin with buttermilk ice cream and salted peanuts.

Holidays in Sonoma – Highway 12 Wineries

December 26, 2014 by 7 Comments

So in a previous post I highlighted Ledson Winery, famous for their beautiful Castle tasting room. Ledson is more on the north end of Highway 12, so now let’s continue to proceed south visiting Highway 12 Wineries shall we? Highway 12 is a winding road that many wineries are on, so you could easily spend a whole day just visiting wineries just on this one road. Overall, from Ledson to our last stop listed in this post, it covers only 10 miles and with wineries the whole way. You can pack a picnic to go with you on your day trip, though some wineries also have a little market to get some picnic supplies.

Literally right down the street from Ledson, just a mile down, is St. Francis Winery & Vineyards. They have a wine tasting room which has a back patio with incredible views that showcase the wineries and mountains. The other highlight with St Francis is that they offer Culinary Wine Adventures. By that, I mean wine and food tasting experiences which you can enjoy to understand how to pair their wine with food. The experiences vary from cheese and charcuterie to a 5 course food pairing to a private estate 9 course dinner that kicks off with a wine reception.

On the day I visited, wine country was lucky enough to be getting some much needed rain, so the mountain views included lots of misty clouds as the rain was beginning to roll in.

A little less then 2 miles south as we continue on Highway 12 is Chateau St Jean. The grounds even now that it was winter was full of color from the vines and from lots of beautiful pots of dwarf Satsuma Mandarin Orange trees brimming with the fruit. The Chateau architecture takes is cue from an Italian villa style. You should also note that they have 2 tasting room areas- the Main Tasting room and also if you are interested in their reserve and more limited edition wines and willing to pay more for the upscale tasting, another tasting room with separate tasting fee in the Vineyard Room.

Another mile and a half down the road is an opportunity to visit a wine cave on a tour for free on the Kunde Family Estate.  When they open the doors to the wine cave (it is also a nicely informative tour) looking into the cave, it looks like such an endless hallway of barrels which is quite an effect. They are one of the oldest family owned wineries in Sonoma, having been founded in 1904 and is now in its fifth generation. You can if you’d like do a mountaintop tasting which they offer from 11:30-2:30 PM. If you’re looking for a little exercise and have 4 hours to use, you can also choose to to inquire about reserving a spot on their Hiking tour – and they have a version that is a Dog Hike. If you do bring your dog here, the dog must remain leashed – though your furry friend can go on the cave tour with us as long as he’s quiet and well behaved.

If you love wines with volcanic soil, you will also like the wines at Kunde – my favorite personally was the Kunde 1904 Dessert Cuvee. Also if you stop, look out for the hedge dressed up as a wine bottle!

If you are looking for some out of this world cabernet sauvignon, you might also consider checking out Arrowood Vineyards and Winery, 5 miles south on Highway 12 from Kunde. We have now transitioned from Kenwood to Glen Ellyn.

Of the list of wineries I’ve shared, this is a more smaller, intimate tasting room though the prices were also significantly higher. Really great Cabernet though!

Clearly, I’m also smitten with visiting vineyards in the winter for the lovely colors of the leaves!

The last winery I am going to highlight is Imagery Estate Winery and Art Gallery, which is at the same initial driveway as Arrowood off Highway 12 – you just have to turn left at the fork instead of right.

While most winery stops were 30 minutes to an hour, we spent our longest winery stop here and the other couple we were traveling with signed up to be wine club members (and I admit I also bought several wines to take home).

They have a huge variety of different varietals to try. They create original art for their bottles, some of the art which is displayed in a little gallery in the back, and F and I spent time looking through their prints and magnets of that art as well. Sadly I was so busy drinking I didn’t get many photos except for these.

Imagery wines are only sold here, so this would be your only chance to get them. Each artwork for each bottle must include the Parthenon in done way which makes it a bit of a hunt to find it on some, or interesting to see how it got incorporated in others. And there’s hundreds of these labels to peruse. They also have a little garden on their property which helps supply local restaurant The Girl and The Fig!

What is your favorite time of year to visit vineyards- spring, summer, or fall/winter?

This post is the third in my series about visiting Sonoma. For 2014 I have one more Sonoma post where I will recap the holiday (Thanksgiving) meal at The Girl and The Fig, and after the New Year, the series will continue with more wineries, and also looking at beer by visiting breweries in the area.

Holidays in Sonoma – Ledson Winery

December 24, 2014 by 6 Comments

Today, I wanted to share the beautiful grounds of Ledson Winery & Vineyards.”The Castle” as it is also known is an impressive looking building that is a massive tasting room. I unfortunately was a little wined out on tastings by the time we got this far up on the road, and it was also pretty crowded as this same weekend of my visit was also the Heart of Sonoma Valley Open House event. I only took photos on the outside, where it was quieter than the bustle inside the tasting rooms. The next time I’m in Sonoma, I definitely will need to plan better – and if you go to Sonoma, you should definitely plan to stop by at least for a look see like I ended up doing.

Ledson also has a small deli and marketplace so if you haven’t already packed your picnic, you can purchase food here to picnic on the grounds (no outside food allowed). They have quite a variety of wines that I saw – more than a dozen varietals and a good mix of white and red wines.

As you can see, they had their seasonal soldiers guarding their massive front doors with a gorgeous view of some of their vines, and a foyer totally decked out for the holidays.
