Wednesday - Taste
A fine collection of California wine
Read about Monterey
Stop Wednesday, November 4, 2009 to taste
wine distributed by Mountain Wine.
Mountain Wine is owned by Gallo.
It is rumored that one in four bottle of wines purchased in the
United States is sold by Gallo
(if you research it you will find some estimates at one in three bottles).
Gallo is so lucrative it has created an arm of its company featuring fine wines.
They partnered with top quality small and medium sized producers,
gave them a budget to market their wines and upgrade their facilities,
while allowing them to operate with their original staff and philosophy.
Many of these wines would not be on our shelves
without the assistance of Gallo, because producing wine
is such an expensive, high risk endeavor.
If you have not discovered the fine wine collection of Mountain Wine,
stop by on Wednesday and be pleasantly surprised.
Mountain Wine brings Colorado some of the best
wines from this incredible portfolio.
We are pouring samples from 4:30pm to 7:00pm.

Monterey gains prestige as a top wine region
We all know the name Napa, Sonoma, Burgundy, and Bordeaux. Each one of these regions has the luxury of widely varying temperatures, cool nights and sunny, warm days. Grapes love to cool off at night and the fruit they produce is an indication of how often they are permitted to do this. Complexity and acidity are preserved when grapes are allowed to ripen slowly. Ocean breezes and fog create a wide variety of daily temperatures. Many of the earth's best wine grape growing regions are cooled by ocean breezes. There are some growing areas not so well know that offer these ideal growing specifications.
Monterey is known for its sleepy fog and cooling ocean breezes. As the warm air rises during the day, the vacuum created by this movement pulls cool ocean breezes off the Monterey Bay. It was not until a University of California at Davis professor categorized the growing areas of California in the early 1960s that Monterey's potential was uncovered. Growers were looking for new land to plant wine grapes
and found Monterey's coastal temperatures ideal. According to UC Davis measurements, Monterey and is considered the same type of climate as Napa, Sonoma, Burgundy, and Bordeaux.
Monterey's terroir has been so successful that eight additional interior AVAs have been established to define their vineyards even further. An AVA is short for American Viticultural Area. AVAs can be as big as several states and as small as a valley that can be surveyed from one vantage point to the naked eye. Monterey's AVAs are Santa Lucia Highlands, Arroyo Seco, San Lucas, Hames Valley, Chalone, Carmel Valley, San Antonio Valley, San Bernabe and the largest AVA containing the later regions, Monterey.
Chardonnay is a significant planting in Monterey, totaling forty percent of the county's grape vineyards. The next significant planting is merlot, cabernet sauvignon, and then pinot noir, but each only totaling about a third of the amount of chardonnay acreage. The next grapes in the hierarchy are syrah and riesling, each only amounting to about a tenth of the chardonnay vineyards. Beyond these numbers Monterey grows just about every other wine grape variety found in California, showing how versatile this prime growing area is.
Monterey has been producing wine grapes for less than fifty years, yet its wines are claiming their rightful place on our wine shop store shelves, next to some of California's best growing regions. Wines from this region are impressive and are a great value for their price point.
