Chef Mario Hernandez and Wine Director Adam Bernstein have put together a creative menu to pair with the wines of Schramsberg & J. Davies wineries.  Hugh Davies, the winemaker at both locations will be in town to talk about his experience.  One might say that Hugh Davies was born with a wine glass in his hand, and that wouldn't be too far from the truth.  Hugh was born in 1965, the same year that his parents, Jack and Jamie Davies, purchased the abandoned Schramsberg Estate in Calistoga.  Hugh grew up among the vines, caves, tanks and barrels that make Schramsberg Vineyards what it is today: the premier producer of American sparkling wines.  Initially, the Davies planted their estate vineyards to the traditional Method Champenoise grape varieties in 1965.  The family's experience with Pinot Noir dates back to 1967, when Jack and Jamie Davies first used this elegant red varietal to make their inaugural vintage of Blanc de Noirs sparkling wine.  The first planting on what is now the J. Davies Estate Vineyard was in 1862 by Jacob Schram, representing Napa Valley's first hillside vineyard.  Over time, it became apparent that this land was better suited to the cultivation of red Bordeaux varietals.  Today, expanding from the knowledge gained through the production for the J. Davies Estate Cabernet Sauvignon from Diamond Mountain, Hugh expresses the unique flavor characteristics of the southern most vineyards in the Diamond Mountain District AVA of Napa Valley.
