WINE COUNTRY

GUIDE

THE INCOMPARABLE

from the palate of

WINE DIRECTOR, KERRIN LAZ

A Few

of My

Favorite

Things

As we gear up for the 2013 holiday season, I

invite you to join me on my own wine country gifts

tour that I’ve curated for you. The parameter for

this collection was simple.

When thinking about bringing the best of the best

to those that truly love wine, food and the wine

country lifestyle that comes with it, I asked myself

one question—“If I could give myself anything this

holiday season, what would it be?” The answers

are in the following pages.

Happy Holidays and happy tasting.

With the debut launch of photographer Sam

Aslanian’s book called "Perspective Napa Valley".

I’ve paired this stunning, artistic collection of

photographs with a bottle of the most sought

after second label coming out of California

today—2010 Screaming Eagle’s Second Flight

Cabernet Sauvignon.

Since 1977, distiller-extraordinaire

Paolo Marolo in Alba, Italy has

crafted intensely pure Grappas

using the traditional approach

of keeping his copper running

continuously through the harvest

season. From what I’ve learned,

this method is only successful

with those with experience and

precise attention to detail. After

tasting these offerings, the proof

is in the bottle that Paolo is a

Grappa perfectionist.

In partnership with Fairmont Hotels and Resorts,

I’m thrilled with taking on the role as their new

wine club director for this debut launch of the

Fairmont Vintages Wine Club.

Seeking out the most compelling Napa Valley

wines that rarely make their way outside the

valley, I’ve created three annual membership

levels that each include shipping costs. This is

the gift that will continue to put smiles on wine

enthusiasts’ faces throughout 2014.

I cannot get enough of this perfect Kosher pairing.

My food colleagues shipped me a sample of

Beecher’s flagship semi-hard, cow’s milk Kosher

cheese and crackers so I could taste them

with the impressive 2010 Covenant Chardonnay

and 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon.

I loved the combination of these rich flavors.

From the moist crumbles of the KOF-K certified

cheese to the crisp, butter crackers and deeply

focused wines made by Jeff Morgan and consultant

David Ramey. Our own DEAN & DELUCA

10" x 14" cutting board is also included in this

must-give holiday gift set.

Living and working in the heart of Napa Valley

definitely has its advantages. One of them is

the ability to forge relationships with some of

the most gifted viticulturists, winemakers and

vintners in the business today.

These three artisan producers are perfect

examples of just that. 2009 Scully Ranch

Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon,

2011 Keplinger Sumo Red and 2012 Kesner’s

Gate Russian River Valley Chardonnay with

my favorite DEAN & DELUCA Napa Valley

canvas bag from our St. Helena store is the

perfect wine country gift to give.

Of all the beautiful, well-made decanters available

today, Zalto Denk’Art from Austria is my favorite.

Each decanter is hand-blown and brings the

perfect ratio of air to wine to the glass. As a great

pairing to this Zalto decanter, I’ve included a

bottle of the focused and sophisticated 2010

Kinsella Cabernet Sauvignon from Dry Creek Valley.

Since their first vintage, this Cabernet was

produced by vintner Kevin Kinsella (also

known for producing the Broadway smash hit,

Jersey Boys) and the ever-talented winemaker

Thomas Brown.
