Lakeside Paso

A few quick notes on the Atascadero Lakeside Wine Festival today… Outstanding in Spot 1: Peachy Canyon‘s Cinsault rosé and the sublime Peche Blanc white blend. Fair perfection in Provence-style rosé for the former, an unbelievable balance of textures in the latter–and the finish will blow your mind. Like I have often mused about Tablas Creek: the beauty of Ancient Peaks is NOT in the hi-profile…

Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc + Viognier White Blend 2019, California

Pine Ridge Vineyards is a prominent Napa Valley winery. Best known for its range of red wines, particularly its Cabernet Sauvignons, many of them sell for $100 or more. But on the other end of the spectrum is a $16, widely available white wine that has also put Pine Ridge on the map: its Chenin Blanc + Viognier White Blend.

I have tasted many vintages of Pine Ridge’s Chenin Blanc + Viognier White Blend, and the 2019 release lives up to the expectation for this wine as one of the top California white wine values. As the name suggests, the wine is made from two grapes not usually associated with Napa. In fact, the Chenin Blanc, which accounts for most of the blend, is from the Clarksburg appellation not far from Sacramento, and the Viognier is from Lodi, slightly to the south in the Central Valley. The appellations are gaining reputations for these lesser-known but important varieties.

Made without oak, the Chenin Blanc + Viognier is marked by a winning combination of fruit and floral notes, including white peach, green apple, grapefruit, and lime, with hints of white flowers. It’s ever so slightly off-dry, meaning that it will pair well with spicy foods among many others. Try it with everything from fish to salads, sushi, and a range of appetizers.

I also like that its alcohol is a moderate 12.5 percent, which is something of a rarity among California wines, and makes it easy to go back for that second glass. It’s the perfect wine for casual drinking — consistent, delicious, and deserving of a place in your cellar (or fridge) for everyday enjoyment in the summer months and beyond.

I am not a salad person, mostly because they are unsatisfying and a pretender to health. My husband, on the other hand, loves salads because he feels like it is his one concession to health (with a generous helping of Ranch, that is). So I have been perfecting my own salad recipes that meet my criteria of satisfaction while allowing hubby to feel as though he is doing something good. They also provide quick meals in Summer when the last thing I feel like doing is turning on a stove. The first key is the base, which can't just pretend to health, but actually needs to contain some nutrients; so Hasta la Vista iceberg and Romaine. My salad bases tend toward Kale, Spinach, or my newest favorite, Arugula. Arugula has that wonderful peppery quality as well, allaying boredom, and delighting the taste buds. I have been perfecting this Chicken Arugula with Pine Nuts Salad for about a year now. I need the heft of protein in my salads, so in addition to the Pine Nuts, I added Chicken. I have made this salad with Smoked Deli Chicken Breast, Boiled Chicken Breast, and for this round I used a Fried Chicken Breast, the breading adding extra crunch and extra flavor. Along with Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes, which add to the flavor profile and provide a nice burst in your mouth, I added a few Roma Tomatoes for some gravity. This time around I decided to add chopped boiled Eggs for more gravity and protein heft. Tossed with Shredded Parmesan Cheese, and a Sesame Umami Dressing, it hits all the points for both of us: Health coupled with satisfying Flavor and Substance. This 2018 Clarksburg Batik Chenin Blanc is also doing this recipe justice! #foodie #ieatthereforeiam #summerfare #saladreinvented #toyourhealth #winos (at Pasadena, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BywRenMHL_1/?igshid=1tseltuj21ikh

The C-Virus Can’t Stop Passover! Here’s Passover 2020 Wine Choices from Wine Expert Gabe Geller added to Google Docs

The C-Virus Can’t Stop Passover! Here’s Passover 2020 Wine Choices from Wine Expert Gabe Geller

For many Jews, the approach of Passover brings mixed feelings. There’s much excitement about this important spring festival as we gather to recount the dramatic story of the Israelites’ escape from 400 years of slavery in Egypt. It’s a joyful time for friends and family to feast together in celebration of our precious freedom.

But…the holiday’s strict dietary laws means Passover calls for a lot of prep work: deep cleaning, swapping out dishes and cookware, and planning and shopping for eight days of kosher-for-Passover meals — including elaborate Seder dinners. Oh, and it’s customary to drink four cups of wine at the Seder.

Well, the clock is ticking; Passover 2020 starts at sundown on Wednesday, April 8. And while ROYAL WINE can’t help with the cooking and cleaning, they’ve got you covered when it comes to quality kosher wines of every kind and every price range.

Wine expert Gabriel Geller, Director of PR and Manager of Wine Education for Kedem/Royal Wine Corp, offers his insights and top picks for Passover 2020 so you have one less thing to stress about.

Q. What’s new for this year’s Seders and everyday meals?

First, let me say that there’s currently an excellent variety of notable and intriguing wines out there. The kosher wine market is thirsty for innovation. Every year we see new advancements in terms of grape varieties, styles of wine, and high quality-price-ratio. That’s the name of the game.

As for specifics, we’re very excited about Or Haganuz Amuka Light, a fine, dry, and affordable Cabernet Sauvignon from Israel’s Upper Galilee with only 9% alcohol by volume. Herzog Lineage Pinot Noir is a well-made, medium-bodied wine from California’s Clarksburg wine country, and you can’t go wrong with Jezreel Valley Rosé, a refreshing wine made from Mediterranean varieties. If you’re looking for a great white wine, Château Gazin Rocquencourt Blanc is a complex white from the Pessac-Léognan region in Bordeaux. And of course, we’re thrilled to introduce the new Bartenura Moscato in cans!

Q. What are Royal Wine’s best-selling wines?

People love the Bartenura Moscato, which is one reason we’re releasing it in cans. The Barkan Classic Pinot Noir is extremely popular as are Jeunesse Cabernet Sauvignon, Goose Bay Sauvignon Blanc, and wines from highly esteemed houses such as Baron Herzog Chenin Blanc, Herzog Lineage Choreograph, and Barons de Rothschild Haut-Médoc. These are all kosher for Passover and year-round.

Q. What are some current trends in the kosher wine industry?

We’re seeing innovation in sparkling wines, rosés, and “exotic” grape varieties like Albariño, Carignan, Marselan, and Mourvèdre. But these developments are happening across the wine industry, not just in kosher wines. As we’ve been telling consumers for years, kosher wines are no different than other wines, aside from the kosher supervision.

Q. When do think the kosher wine industry really took off?

Some 10-15 years ago, when people who are now in their 30s through 50s got into wine as a cultural and social beverage rather than as only sacramental wine used only on the Sabbath and holidays. They grew up with the first generation of quality kosher wines, which started reaching the market in the 1980s-90s.

Q. Do non-kosher people buy kosher wine?

Yes, of course. As I said, kosher wine is no different and just as good as wines that are not kosher certified.

Q. What do you see for the future of kosher wines and spirits?

There will be more quality kosher wines produced by leading wineries in California, France, Italy, Spain, New Zealand, and of course Israel. More grape varieties and special blends will become available with increasing quality across the board, including wines that will retail from below $10 to up to $500, perhaps even more. New packaging, including cans, will be in greater demand. As for spirits, tequila and rum are two categories that are steadily growing more popular among the kosher consumers.

Q. What brands does Royal own and why you think they have become the leader in the industry?

Royal Wine Corp. imports and distributes over 100 different brands of wine from more than 15 major wine growing regions around the world. The Herzog family, who owns and operates the company, had the vision early on to produce and source quality wines from all over the world, changing the kosher wine industry forever.

Q. Back to Passover: any further recommendations?

Absolutely. Domaine Les Marronniers Chablis 1er Cru 2018, Château Gazin Rocquencourt Blanc 2018, Château Giscours Margaux 2017, Barons Edmond-Benjamin de Rothschild Haut-Médoc 2016 30th Anniversary Edition, Herzog Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Calistoga 2016, Alfasi Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, Segal Wild Fermentation Chardonnay 2018, Jezreel Valley Gewurztraminer 2019, Tabor Adama Roussanne 2019, Binyamina Chosen Petite Sirah 2014, and Domaine Villebois Pouilly Fumé 2019. To name a few.

According to Jay Buchsbaum, Director Wine Education and VP Royal Wine Corp., “Easter and Passover both are lunar based holidays, and many Easter celebrations look for wines from the holy land such as Carmel and Barkan, both Israel-based wine companies. They are widely available, and priced right with high wine scorings.”

About Royal Wine/Kedem

Founded in 1848, Royal Wine Corp. has been owned and operated in the United States by the Herzog family, whose winemaking roots go back eight generations to its origin in Czechoslovakia.

Today, Royal Wine’s portfolio of domestic and international wines range from traditional wine producing regions of France, Italy and Spain, as well as Israel, New Zealand and Argentina.

Additionally, the winery houses the award-winning restaurant Tierra Sur, serving the finest, Mediterranean-inspired, contemporary Californian Cuisine.

Marginal

Fun little producer I got excited about several years ago for her 2 Loire offerings, but it looks now as cab-franc has been replaced by a fairly solid grouping of Pinot and Mourvedre. Bright and light in the glass with slight turbidity; dusty, musty citrus on the nose, panged with pond-water, accented by nutty warm fruit and milk chocolate creaminess. Clean and nice in the mouth… no complaints…

They are meant to be quirky, fun, and (mostly) easily-digestible reviews of (mostly) currently available wines (click here for the skinny on how to read them), and are presented links to help you find them, so that you can try them out for yourself. Cheers!

2016 Cornerstone Cellars Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley): For those times when you need both weight and lift, but not lift as in the lifting weight kind of lift. $30 B+

2015 Jack Winery Cabernet Sauvignon (Diamond Mountain District): Basically like hitting a thrilling, multiple-run, game-winning homer late in the 9th. $125 A

2015 Chateau Montelena Estate Zinfandel (Calistoga): Supple and rich upholstery, and true to form; hopefully you’re not shy about a little – or more than a little – wood furninshing. $39 B+

2017 Chateau Montelena Potter Valley Riesling (Mendocino County): Lithe, fruity, friendly, but also serious and pure to the core. $27 B+

2017 Dry Creek Vineyard Dry Chenin Blanc (Clarksburg): If you can’t get excited about a bargain that’s this raging, then you might want to check your pulse… $15 B+

2013 Hedges Family Estate ‘Descendants Liegeois Dupont – DLD’ Cuvee Marcel Dupont Syrah (Red Mountain): The only thing confusing about this meaty, bouncy, chewy deliciousness is the outside label. $25 B+

2016 Concha y Toro Gran Reserva Serie Riberas Carmenere (Cachapoal Valley): Black fruits, green herbs, and pretty much nothing but sunny blue skies ahead. $21 B+

2014 Simonsig ‘Tiara’ Red (Stellenbosch): Meaty, firm, almost addictive, but not lacking class; think artisinal beef jerky and you’ll be in the right ballpark. $39 A-

2016 Simonsig ‘Chenin Avec Chene’ Chenin Blanc (Stellenbosch): Woody, heady, floral, lifted, perfumed… *this* is what all of the Steen fuss is about, folks. $36 A-

NV Danzante Spumante Extra-Dry Prosecco (Veneto): You’re paying a premium for that extra bit of dry refinement, but it’s not so snooty that it won’t get the party started in hurry. $17 B
