Dan's Recent Trip to Wine Country - Notes

I visited several wineries in Napa and Sonoma valley and would like to share my thoughts and experiences with you.

• Beringer in Napa Valley- we popped in with no appointment and they were outstanding. We sampled the Beringer Private reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 06 and 05 vintage side by side both were good but for my palate the 05 had more complexity and a much longer finish than the 06.
• We also stopped by PeJu and I did not like the reception or the wines and I’llleave it at that.
  
• The two wines we had appointments in Napa were : Caymus vineyards and Silver Oak. Both are outstanding producers of wine in the region. At Caymus we tasted o6 zinfandel with wonderful viscosity big boysenberry fruit, good acidity, nice well balanced wine. 07 cabernet both the estate and the special selection with the deep ruby red color but refined and elegant tannins and it was hard not to beg for more.
  
• At Silver Oak we tasted the wine of the trip! We had an 01 cab there that was hands down the best even better then the Caymus Special selection.
  
• We stayed at Alexander Valley winery in of course Alexander Valley. This part of Sonoma is God’s country and the drive is beautiful! We visited some small under the radar screen wineries. First off we popped in to Sausal and there I discovered that Cabernet rules but the old vine Zin can dance the dance too.
  
• Next we stopped at Stryker vineyards, they are in the process of finishing a new facility that is beautiful with an open floor to ceiling tasting room that takes advantage of the roiling hill sides of Alexander valley. The wines there were ok not as good as the others.
• Robert Young however was the best in the bunch but there prices are a bit higher . They produce several single vineyard Cabernets and even though they are more pricey than their neighbors they are cheaper than many in Napa valley.

Schnucks Cooking School was a Blast

From Dan Badock:
My wife Dianne and I had a fabulous time Tuesday evening doing a hands on cooking class at the best cooking facility in St. Louis. If you haven’t been to this store you need to check it out. It is the Schnucks in Des Peres on Manchester just east of west county mall. The staff Gay, Lucy and Nate were all equally welcoming and very fun to work with.
We prepared recipes from Soulard’s and the hands on class keeps everyone involved. Lucy took half the class and prepared a berry trifle, twice baked potatoes, and raspberry sauce for the pork tenderloin. Nate’s half made French onion soup with croutons, and crab cakes and I grilled the Pork tenderloin.
It was a team effort, not to mention several skill set techniques - like the proper way to handle and use a knife and a nifty trick on prepping fresh garlic. We enjoyed Trifethen merlot and a fun zinfandel from the Lodi region of California. The group of fifteen people that attended the class made it special because everyone and I do mean everyone was having a blast. We will do more classes there soon!

What to look for in a wine...

What to look for - from Dan Badock

"Upfront, approachable fruit, wonderful fresh berries on taste...."

For those of you who are not knowledgeable about wine, here is your chance to learn more from a Sommelier.

Q. What's that all about?

A. Someone who is in the restaurant business, orders and maintains the wines sold in the restaurant and usually has extensive knowledge about wine and food pairings.

Dan has become educated through seminars conducted by two Master Sommeliers, and completed his test in 2004. In addition, he has traveled for tours and tastings at famous chateaux in Burgundy, Bordeaux, and the Loire Valley in France and California's Napa Valley wineries. He has continued to travel and remain current with wine tours , tastings, and educational tastings.

His comments on our Featured Wine Trinchero Day Break Block'05 Merlot :

" high level, pleasant finish, good representation of Merlot. Not overwhelmed with wood, aged 'maybe' 6 months unlike 12+ months with Cabernet"

Merlot is easy to grow and the first grape to harvest in red wine varietals. It grows beautifully and this Daybreak block is a good representation.

History about stain glass and suits of armor

The stain glass windows in the fireplace room came from a Lutheran church torn down on the north side of the city , Holy Cross Church. The first stain glass window in the room is saint Engelbert, and the other window is Longinus the Roman Centurion on Calvary that speared Christ.

The two suits of Armor were made on the island of Malta off the coast of Spain. This is what we were told when my family purchased the building in 1977.
