Christine Hanna’s 'Winemaker Cooks' Offers Fresh Taste of Wine Country
Sonoma vintner shares recipes from the market and garden, plus wine & entertaining tips
Sonoma, CA (Sep. 23, 2010)— It's the book for every visitor to Northern California's wine country who ever had the wistful thought, "If only I could take a piece of this home with me."
Christine Hanna’s The Winemaker Cooks: Menus, Parties, and Pairings—new from Chronicle Books and now available everywhere —is the product of a lifetime of working, living, playing, foraging and cooking in Sonoma County from a vintner, home chef, cooking teacher, mother and consummate hostess.
Part practical cookbook and part entertainment guide, The Winemaker Cooks captures the essence of a fast-evolving and much-admired culinary lifestyle. Hanna's cuisine absorbs Asian, Middle Eastern and Latin America influences without forsaking California's Mediterranean ethic—or its wine. And it does so with ease and grace.
A native San Franciscan, Hanna spent many a childhood summer day on her family's simple Sonoma County ranch. Handed the reins of the family's nascent winery in her 20s, she led Hanna Winery & Vineyards to great acclaim. Most notably, the rich yet fresh Hanna Sauvignon Blanc from the cool Russian River Valley—inspired by the foods Chris loves to cook for gatherings of family and friends, and which she shares with the public in cooking classes around the country—gained critical and consumer success.
In The Winemaker Cooks Hanna presents more than 100 recipes, drawing from local
farmers' markets and the garden that grows beside the rustic, century-old Alexander Valley hunting lodge she and her family call home. Her menus, brought to life with 75 luscious photographs by Sheri Giblin, pulse with the turning of the pages of the calendar, following the rhythm of the vineyard and the cellar.
“In the fall," she writes, "we bring in the grapes. And the tomatoes and melons and eggplants and figs. We see trucks stacked with grape bins making their way up and down our rural roads and two-lane highways.... The farmers' markets are open several times a week now, with a dazzling array. We eat al fresco almost always, the grill replacing the range.”Christine Hanna’s 'Winemaker Cooks' Offers Fresh Taste of Wine Country... more

In homage to their nine grape blend Evolution, Sokol Blosser Winery is releasing their 13th annual bottling on September 9, 2009 (9/9/09). The wine, affectionately known as the release somewhere between the 12th & 14th edition, has officially been named the Lucky Edition, rather than the 13th. With over 40 white varietals to choose from, nine different grapes made the luck of the draw for Evolution’s unique blend: Pinot Gris, Müller-Thurgau, White Riesling, Semillon, Muscat Canelli, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, and Sylvaner. The Lucky Edition is inviting with aromas of jasmine, orange blossoms, complex spices and tropical fruit followed by an array of pear, peach, lychee, and honey flavors. A complementary pairing to foods such as Thai, Indian, Mexican and Caribbean, this wine is just as delicious served on its own.In homage to their nine grape blend Evolution, Sokol Blosser Winery is releasing their... more

WINE PATRIARCH PREMIERES PINOT NOIR ON TERLATO FAMILY VINEYARDS LABEL
Anthony Terlato triumphs as heartbreak grape yields sublime results in 2007 vintage Pinot Noir.
The Terlato family announces the inaugural vintage of Terlato Family Vineyards Pinot Noir, heralding from The Russian River Valley. This 2007 Pinot Noir is Burgundian in style with an elusive aroma of violets, raspberries and strawberries and a light, nicely acidic balance.
The Russian River Valley is uniquely suited to the challenging yet rewarding Pinot Noir grape. The cool climate and evening fog allow for an extended growing season and the opportunity for Pinot Noir to reach its full flavor potential.
Long considered the “Father of Pinot Grigio”, Anthony Terlato launched a Russian River Valley Pinot Grigio as the first wine under his eponymous label. With this inaugural vintage of the Terlato Family Vineyards Pinot Noir, the promise of the Russian River Valley has been fulfilled.
