THE GUIDE I WINE 101

GENERATION
Dave Battuello

Owner/Vineyard Manager,
Battuello Vineyards
When was your first
Napa Valley harvest?
"I'm a fourth-generation
Napa Valley farmer. I've lived
on our family estate since
birth. The only time I've
left the valley was to go to
college and study viticulture. As soon as I graduated
from Cal Poly, I was back
home working the ranch."
Which wine was your
"a-ha!" wine - the one
that made you love
wine or inspired you to
get into the industry?
"My grandpa's homemade
Napa Gamay, which he
would sip on each day out
of a special glass. Understanding he had seen the
wine through the whole
process was inspiring. I still
have that wine glass, and
enjoy my wine in it often."

How To Find Your
Wine Style

THERE ARE MORE THAN 400 WINERIES IN NAPA VALLEY - SO WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
BY MATT VILLANO

T

he good news: Napa Valley has a wine
experience for everyone who visits. Now for
the tricky part. Not certain which spot is for you?
Let us help. We've compiled six distinct visitor
personalities and paired them up with a handful
of local wineries that suit each one best. For more
information, swing by a Welcome Center once
you get to the valley and ask the friendly volunteers to shed some insight; there are locations in
downtown Napa, St. Helena, American Canyon,
Calistoga, and Yountville. Happy sipping!
PROFESSIONAL
Dossier: You subscribe to Wine Spectator and
Wine Enthusiast. You've memorized all the
100-point wines in the last decade. You regularly dish out wine descriptors such as "jammy,"
"earthy," and "unctuous." And when a tasting-room host tells you the wine you're sampling
is a blend of different varietals, you insist you can

What are the most
rewarding aspects of
your work?
"My passion is in vineyard
farming. I spend each day
working in the vineyard,
making sure that by the
time harvest rolls around,
we are producing the best
grapes for that vintage."

Stags' Leap Winery

taste the Cabernet Franc - even though it's only
five percent.
Bottom line: You know your wine, you know what
you like, and you appreciate quality.
Wineries: Stags' Leap Winery, Trinchero Family
Estate, Crocker & Starr, Far Niente
FOODIE
Dossier: You see wine and food as inextricably
linked as chocolate and peanut butter. You can't
quaff vino without imagining what kind of meal
would make its perfect partner. You can't bear the
thought of tasting wine unless it's part of an
elaborate food pairing. And of course, you've done
as much research into local restaurants as you
have wineries.
Bottom line: Wine is only one part of a complete
gustatory experience.
Wineries: Cakebread Cellars, Piazza Del Dotto,
Round Pond Estate, B Cellars
