Combine 14 years as a chef at a beloved

Southern California restaurant, a work

ethic that takes nothing for granted,

some hearty Italian roots and more than 50

acres of vineyards on the east side of Paso

Robles and you have the ingredients of

Falcon Nest Vineyard and Winery.

Francesco Grande owns Falcon Nest with

his wife, Carol, and is the winemaker.

Leaving behind a successful restaurant and

starting a winery made perfect sense, said

Francesco.

Wine has always been part of my job, he

said, referring to the extensive wine lists he

compiled. Indeed, he sees a winemakers task

as a natural extension of a chefs.To me, he said, making wine is like

cooking. I dont fuss around too much.

Grande said hes guided in his wine-

making by the same philosophy which

proved successful as a chef know what

consumers want and provide quality at a

reasonable cost.

With that in mind, Falcon Nest wines are

made in a bold, fruit-forward style without

an oversupply of tannins. They are smoothed

out with aging in French oak that typically

lasts at least two years and can extend

another 24 months after that.

The 53 acres of vineyards are planted to

varietals that have put Paso Robles at the

forefront of California wine producers

Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and

Merlot.

Grande is a native of southern Italy and

thats reflected the moment you walk into the

winerys tasting room. Shelves are lined with

a variety of imported pastas and homemade

sauces. Fresh eggs are also for sale, compli-

ments of the various members of the poultry

family visitors often hear upon arriving at the

winery.

There are a handful of tables where guests

can enjoy a plate of antipasto and a bottle ofwine or a more robust lunch. A recent

menu featured selections such as chicken

parmigiana, chicken marsala and pork

cilantro.

Not surprisingly, a larger seating area

attached to the existing tasting room is

already under construction. The Grandes

vision for Falcon Nest also includes a bed

and breakfast inn.

Tasting room visitors are seeking a memo-

rable experience as much as a memorab

wine, said Carol Grande.

Most people know more about wine th

they used to, her husband added, abo

what they like. Were trying to give them

experience, not just sell them wine. Th

want to meet the people who made the win

find out the story behind the wine.

The Grandes are more than willing

share those stories. An affable pair, th

quickly make visitors feel at home. Its easy

see Francesco in his former career minglin

with guests at his restaurant, talking abo

the dishes hes prepared.

Seeds of the transition from restaura

teurs in fast-paced Southern California

planted nearly two decades ago.On a wine-tasting vacation to Paso Robl

peeled off, leaving the Grandes as the so

waited for them to begin producing fruit, splitting their time between

Paso Robles and their Simi Valley restaurant. The Grandes did much

of the work themselves.

If you want to do it right, its hard work, said Francesco. We

were planting vines, pulling weeds.

The vineyards are planted in an east-to-west direction, maximizing

sun exposure to achieve desired ripeness. The vines produce small

yields, leading to intensely flavored fruit.

Falcon Nest was bonded in 2004 and, finally, they decided to sell

the restaurant and move permanently to Paso.

It was getting too hectic, said Francesco. We needed to make a

choice.

They never looked back. Falcon Nest is now producing about

5,000 cases annually, and the Grandes say they are in a position to

steadily increase that amount over the next several years. Theyve

recently retained some seller representatives to help market Falcon

Nest wines to other regions of the state and nationwide.

Grande, an effervescent gentleman, only sounds a weary notewhen he speaks of keeping up with the myriad and ever-changing

state laws governing shipments of wines to consumers.

Thats the hardest part, he laments. Making the wine is the

easiest part of my life.

The Falcon Nest Vineyard and Winery tasting room is open from

10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. To locate the winery, take Highway 46 East from

Highway 101 to Union Road and turn right. Make an immediate left

and continue until you see the winery sign at 5185 Union Road. You

can also contact the winery at (805) 226-0227 or email the Grandes

ON THE COVER WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK

By Mark Storer

The competition within the wine world is,

to put it mildly, fierce. In this world, the

microcosm of the small winery is

instructive. How can small producers making

between 500 and 5,000 cases of wine a year

compete with wineries who produce well over

100,000 cases a year? The answer, of course, is

the wine itself. After all, if the wine is good-

people will drink it. But theres more to thatequation. Marketing becomes of primary

importance and so it is no wonder when

groups of smaller wineries band together to

show off their product.

The Highway 46 West Winery Group of

Paso Robles is an answer to the age-old ques-

tion of winemaking Davids and Goliaths and is

a unique response to getting smaller wineries

more well known. Executive Director Kristin

Odenwald likens the group to a family. We

were formed to bring people to the West Side

and help each other out, she says. Thatsimplicity is the key to success.

Highway 46 West leads across undulating

hills where rolling vineyards with names that

have made their mark, stand among majestic

oaks and soaring views. Brian Benson Cellars,

Castoro Cellars, Dark Star Cellars, Doce

Robles, Eagle Castle, Fratelli Perata, Grey Wolf,

Hunt Cellars, JanKris Winery, Midnight

Cellars, Peachy Canyon, Windward Vineyard

and Rotta Winery make up the group and their

location in the Templeton Gap makes their

wines special. We get the sea breeze in theafternoon and the fog that comes up from

Cambria and so while the days are warm

even hot, the evenings cool down and provide

a great growing climate, says Odenwald. But

the group is more than that. These are not just

cooperative businesses that have bonded

together, but longtime neighbors and friends

who spend time with each other, talk and play

and even work together.

The unique wineries themselves are testa-

ments to the sense of place, of home that wine

lovers get when they visit. Grey Wolf, for

example, and even Peachy Canyon, are essen-

tially old homes that now boast wineries asresidents. And its that home-style feeling that

has bred a passion for these winemakers and

their wines. Indeed, these wineries have all

won awards in various categories for every-

thing from Syrah to Zinfandel to Cabernet

Sauvignon.

So it is that with smaller production come

many benefits. The concentration for these

winemakers remains their connection with the

land on which they grow grapes and make

wine. Their bond with their employees an

each other is as important as the quality of t

wine they make. In the end, they are able

concentrate on what they love doing wh

helping each other along the way.

Aaron Palmer, tasting room manager

Castoro Cellars puts it another way, its rea

neat to be part of a group all focused on t

same thing, making great wines. We all kno

each others wines pretty well and so wh

someone is looking for a specific flavor profwe know right where to send them. Its ve

much like a family. The group is a spin-off

the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance an

some of the wineries are still members of th

group as well.

We began with the West Fest 2003, sa

Odenwald. The idea was just to do a Passpo

wine-tasting wherepeople were free to go fro

winery to winery and stamp their passpor

Customers who go to seven wineries get

handsome West Side poster. Customers wh

go to all 13 wineries get that same postsigned by all of the winemakers and th

began a tradition. In 2004, the group mad

Opolo Vineyards, Eberle, Justin, Robert Hall, Tobin James and

showcase their finest wines and compete by cooking a dish that will

bring out the greatest of qualities in their wines. The winemaker-

Peoples Choice Award.

When asked about some of the delectable food that one might

expect at the cook-off, Yaguda laughs, Thats top secret. The win

WINE COUNTRY NEWS WINE COUNTRY THIS WEEK

W

ine lovers often give lip service to the

concept that wine, particularly great

wine, is made in the vineyard. At

Stolpman, we believe that our Estate

Vineyard gives us the opportunity to put

outstanding wines in the bottle for our

customers.

Marilyn and I purchased the ranch in

Ballard Canyon after several years of

searching California for the ideal site. In

Ballard Canyon, we found an outcropping of

limestone soils with heavy clay top soil.

(Limestone is found in areas like Chablis, the

right bank of the Gironde in Bordeaux,Champagne, the Rhne and Italy.)

After years of working with the vines, it

became clear that the potential of the vine-

yard could not be reached with the vines

planted in the early to mid 1990s, before high

density vineyards were fully appreciated in

California. Beginning in 2004, our team

made a decision to begin redeveloping

blocks, replacing outmoded vineyards with

state-of-the-art, 21st century plantings.

In 2004, we began with the insight that

higher density vineyards, while expensive to

plant and expensive to farm, because of the

need for new equipment to navigate the

narrow rows, would allow us to grow fruit

with more concentration and structure. The

first step was to lay out approximately eight

acres on Limestone Hill (the Ridge which

fronts Ballard Canyon Road). At about 2500

vines per acre, this is more that three times

the density of the blocks planted in this area

in 1992. The Sangiovese and Merlot from

these small blocks is spectacular plan to

taste the wines in 2008. At the same time we

replanted three, our first block with Syrahpanted on its own roots. All of our other vines

are planted on phylloxera-resistant rootstock;

given our experience with Syrah, we felt that

a trial with our own rooted vines would give

us a chance to see if Syrah really does better

when not grafted. We are keeping are fingers

crossed no phylloxera, please!

Two blocks were redeveloped in 2005.

Ten acres on Rhne Ridge (long-time fans of

our wines will remember our Rhne Rid

Cuve, made with Syrah, Grenache a

Mourvdre grown on the ridge) had be

lying fallow after the Grenache a

Mourvdre were removed. Our nurser

gave us virus-infected vines which made

almost impossible to ripen the fruit. Af

At the same time we grafted more than

The people that make wine and run

wineries tend toward the eclectic in

their interests, past careers and experi-ences. Of no one is this more true than Terry

Culton of Adelaida Cellars. This social

worker, turned winemaker via his friends and

family brings a wealth of experience with him

and not just a little serendipitous fortune.

His path to winemaking is now carved in

legend. On a social work-related visit to a

small town in Northern California called

Philo, Culton happened upon an old friend,

Bob Nye, at the famed sparkling wine maker,

Scharffenberger Cellars. The visit changed his

life and the course of his career.Cultons wife Kathleen was accepted at Cal

Poly, San Luis Obispo in 1991 to get her B.S

is bio-chemistry and so the pair moved to

Paso Robles to be close to the campus. That

same year, Culton worked the crush at

Creston Manor and was subsequently hired

by famed Central Coast winemaker and

mentor, Ken Volk of Wild Horse. According

to Culton, Volk was a generous and giving

teacher and he was quickly promoted to

cellar master for Wild Horse. With solid

winemaking and cellar master experience

under his belt, the Cultons moved back to the

North Coast where Terry became cellar

master yet again with Edmeades Cellars and

from there, he went on to work at Willamette

Valley Vineyards which produced some

90,000 cases of wine annually. That experi-ence was invaluable and it helped propel him

back across the California border when he

was offered the assistant winemaker position

at Calera Wine Company in San Benito

County. The experiences with Wild Horse,

Willamette and Calera made Culton some-

thing of an expert in limestone soil Pinot

Noir, which remains a passion for him.

It wasnt until 2003 that Culton accepted

the position with Adelaida as head wine-

maker. With a complex four-tier winemaki

program, Culton began to carve out one

the more famous niches in Paso Robles wi

making. Adelaida boasts a reserve lab

(prices range between $35 and $75 a bottla white label ($20 to $30 a bottle), the SL

label ($15 to $20 a bottle) and the Scho

house label ($13 to $15 a bottle). Each lab

represents a different set of vineyards a

fruit levels used in the wines. This consum

based structure is one of the reasons w

Adelaida has garnered so much press att

tion. The wines are clearly labeled and the

are no hidden agendas in any of the wines

just good, honest winemaking from some

the best fruit that Culton can find.

From the renowned reserve label CabernSauvignon to the more moderately priced, y

delectable Schoolhouse Rousanne, Cult

has fashioned Adelaida as a maverick in t

Central Coast wine community. Its

wonder, of course, seeing as Culton is som

thing of a maverick himself.

Adelaida Cellars is located at 5

Adelaida Road in Paso Robles. The tast

room is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. f

The buzz in the wine industry these days is all about pair-

ings the art of marrying the flavors of fine food with

fantastic wine. Most upscale restaurants have a knowledgeable

waiter that can assist you in selecting just the right bottle toenjoy with your entre, but whats the discriminating wine

lover to do while on the road? In the past, ones options were

either the stale crackers on the tasting room bar or the slim

pickings of a service station mini-mart. All thats changed with

the introduction of a nifty new product called Wine

Pairables.

The creators of Wine Pairables Loretta and Jens Wagner

have based their business in Arroyo Grande where the rapidly

growing Central Coast wine scene is attracting new devotees

daily. Theyve enlisted the assistance of several of Californi

finest chefs to create a unique and delightfully portable asso

ment of gourmet taste treats that are ideally suited for a day

the Wine Country. Think snack packs for adults. These hanassortments are designed to be paired with specific wine va

etals and feature such delectable choices as artisan cheeses,

spreads, nuts and chocolates, just to name a few.

The White Delight is suited for lighter, more fruit forwa

white wines, while the Bold Blanc is perfect with a more fu

bodied white. Vermillion Crush works well with jammy re

and Crimson Harvest pairs perfectly with hearty Cabs

Clarets. Pick up all four to ensure that your next tasting adve

ture is a perfect pairing!

Wine Pairables are available at wineries and gourmet groce

outlets. To find one near you, visit www.winepairables.com.

Just a few years ago women wine-

makers were a novelty. Only a handful

of persistent and talented females were

able to push their way to the top in a

very competitive field. More and more

though, women are not only at the helm

of some very prestigious wine opera-

tions, they are also garnering their share

of accolades and awards. Patricia Bello

of B&E Vineyards is a perfect example

of the creative spirit that epitomized the

women of the vine.

Patricia did not come to her calling

in the usual fashion. She and her husband, Jerry began by planting

grapes and selling them to local vintners. Patricia, a cutting horsetrainer and breeder left the farming duties to Jerry. The vineyards

provided her with a marvelous view from her hilltop home and she

came to love their brilliant displays in the fall and spring, but wine-

making was not something she even considered. Along the way

though, she developed an expensive habit. I love a good bottle of

wine but unfortunately I seem to particularly like the ones that cost a

hundred dollars or more. Thats why I had to start making my ow

My goal was to produce a really great wine that was also affordable

With the assistance of other local winemakers, Patricia honed h

craft and became a truly exceptional winemaker, overseeing th

production of nearly 4000 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlo

Syrah and a red blend called Red Rhythm. Her insistence on a twen

month aging in French oak barrels produces a rich, velvety wine th

has helped her meet her goal of a creating fine wines that will fit in

almost anyones budget. This year her 2004 Cabernet took the gold

the Paso Robles County Fair an

her Syrah and Red Rhythm bo

won gold medals at the Sa

Francisco Chronicles Wi

Competition.

B&E Vineyards is located oCreston Road in Paso Robles.

drive out to their tasting roo

will not only provide one with the opportunity to enjoy fabulo

wines, but a chance to take in the awe-inspiring view of rolling vin

yards that Patricia so loves. On the top of the highest hill on the pro

erty, the Bellos have built a charming western style saloon in whi

visitors can relax, sip three different reds (a Ros is in the works) an

be entertained by the warmth and wit of the winemaker herself.

B&E Vineyards is open Friday through Sunday from 11 a.m.

5 p.m. and on weekdays by appointment.

then up a stake planted three feet from the mother vine, doubling the

density from 720 vines per acre to 1540. The first fruit, harvested in

2006, is making very, very good wines!

In 2006, Sashi, Peter Hunken, (now our Director of Marketing and

Sales) and Ruben went to France and Italy to visit vineyards and

wineries, looking for new ideas for our wine production. While in

Cte Rtie, Ruben was fascinated by the ultra-high-density style of

planting used there. After a year of going without new planting (high

density vineyards cost about $35,000 to plant and bring to harvest),

Ruben suggested the brilliant idea of planting a Cte Rtie style block

on a steep slope facing Ballard Canyon Road. As you may know, Cte

Rtie produces some of the finest Syrah wines in the world. Many

folks driving along the road stop and try to figure out what is going

on with tepees on the side of the hill! Stakes are angled, about 18

inches apart, meeting at the top about six feet in the air. Syrah cuttings

were then planted at the base of each stake, to be trained up the stakeand head pruned. With a planting of 5,800 vines, this one-acre block

may be the highest density in the United States. Look for Super

Syrah from these vines in the 2009 Vintage.

We also have a ten-acre block on Whale Hill which was planted to

Cabernet Sauvignon. Who knows what we will plant there! Another

future planting will be on about on Limestone Hill, once planted to

Cab Franc (one acre of that old block is taken up by a new home f

Ruben and his family). While these are new concepts for us in Ca

fornia, they reflect the centuries of experience of French and Itali

vintners in producing world-class wines from high-density vineyard

As we adopt some of these new traditions, we are confident that o

wines will continue to improve! Oh, does anyone have any big buc

to pay for all of this?

Stolpman Vineyards is located at 659 Copenhagen Drive
