This tasting room is the only place in town where you can enjoy all of the lovely wines made by Medlock Ames just up the road at their Bell Mountain vineyard. And just as they shout out the last call, the bar next door starts serving up fresh, garden-inspired cocktails using ingredients grown on location. It's all too convenient, well...convenient, tasty and so very much appreciated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I have said before, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/06/06/lavender-splash-cocktail-fresh-from-the-medlock-ames-garden/\">they make some of the best Californian wine\u003c/a> you'll ever drink. So where to start? Well, if you can get your hands on it, I suggest their first vintage--a 2001 Merlot. It's like blackberry cobbler. And it's ready for drinking now, so do not cellar this wine. Another favorite of mine is their Rosé, and I say that as a non-Rosé fan. It proves that Ames Morison (the winemaker) is a genius. The wine tastes like a freshly picked organic strawberry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, admittedly, having your tasting room separate from the vineyard kinda goes against a very established wine country paradigm. And at first, I confess, I did find it a bit strange. But Ames explains in the video below the very reason for that decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/3ds-XmXoxcg\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I visited the tasting room and bar a few months back while on a three week road trip in a borrowed Chevy Volt. Located at the intersection of Alexander Valley Road and Highway 128, the place has been a neighborhood fixture since the early 1900s when it was better known as the Alexander Valley Store and Bar. The bar part was added on during the '60s where it quickly became a favorite amongst the \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvLpJod8nt0\">Easy Rider\u003c/a> crowd. And that history exists in more than just spirit at the new tasting location. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reclaimed wood from the original structure has been reused throughout the property. The garden (which is organic but not certified) is a sea of citrus fruits, chili peppers, vegetables and herbs, such as pineapple sage and cilantro. No fancy imported olives or overpriced picnic-ware are found here. Just good wine and canned produce from the garden. And the place has been known to host a farmers market or two, as a bit of a throwback to the \"store\" it used to be. If anything, the seasonally inspired cocktails, like this \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/06/06/lavender-splash-cocktail-fresh-from-the-medlock-ames-garden/\">Lavender Splash cocktail,\u003c/a> are a great reason to visit! \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/07/IMG_1452.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/07/IMG_1452.jpg\" alt=\"Lavender Splash Cocktail\" title=\"Lavender Splash Cocktail\" width=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45766\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Medlock Ames, it's all about delivering a distinct sense of place. And I think that is why this annexed tasting room really works. The tasting room and bar follow many of the same tenets as the 400-acre vineyard located at Bell Mountain. The vineyard is certified organic, but the tasting room gardens are not. However, they are farmed in the exact same manner. The winery located at Bell Mountain is 100-percent solar powered and also happens to be a gravity flow system, which \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/06/06/lavender-splash-cocktail-fresh-from-the-medlock-ames-garden/\">benefits both the wine and their electricity bill\u003c/a>.

So where to start? Well, if you can get your hands on it, I suggest their first vintage--a 2001 Merlot. It's like blackberry cobbler. And it's ready for drinking now, so do not cellar this wine. Another favorite of mine is their Rosé, and I say that as a non-Rosé fan. It proves that Ames Morison (the winemaker) is a genius. The wine tastes like a freshly picked organic strawberry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, admittedly, having your tasting room separate from the vineyard kinda goes against a very established wine country paradigm. And at first, I confess, I did find it a bit strange. But Ames explains in the video below the very reason for that decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/3ds-XmXoxcg\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I visited the tasting room and bar a few months back while on a three week road trip in a borrowed Chevy Volt. Located at the intersection of Alexander Valley Road and Highway 128, the place has been a neighborhood fixture since the early 1900s when it was better known as the Alexander Valley Store and Bar. The bar part was added on during the '60s where it quickly became a favorite amongst the \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvLpJod8nt0\">Easy Rider\u003c/a> crowd. And that history exists in more than just spirit at the new tasting location. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reclaimed wood from the original structure has been reused throughout the property. The garden (which is organic but not certified) is a sea of citrus fruits, chili peppers, vegetables and herbs, such as pineapple sage and cilantro. No fancy imported olives or overpriced picnic-ware are found here. Just good wine and canned produce from the garden. And the place has been known to host a farmers market or two, as a bit of a throwback to the \"store\" it used to be. If anything, the seasonally inspired cocktails, like this \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/06/06/lavender-splash-cocktail-fresh-from-the-medlock-ames-garden/\">Lavender Splash cocktail,\u003c/a> are a great reason to visit! \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/07/IMG_1452.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/07/IMG_1452.jpg\" alt=\"Lavender Splash Cocktail\" title=\"Lavender Splash Cocktail\" width=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45766\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Medlock Ames, it's all about delivering a distinct sense of place. And I think that is why this annexed tasting room really works. The tasting room and bar follow many of the same tenets as the 400-acre vineyard located at Bell Mountain. The vineyard is certified organic, but the tasting room gardens are not. However, they are farmed in the exact same manner. The winery located at Bell Mountain is 100-percent solar powered and also happens to be a gravity flow system, which \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/06/06/lavender-splash-cocktail-fresh-from-the-medlock-ames-garden/\">benefits both the wine and their electricity bill\u003c/a>.

It's kinda like extreme organics. The idea is to not just be green and avoid the \u003cem>bad stuff\u003c/em> like pesticides and herbicides, but to create a diversified and balanced ecosystem. For that reason, biodynamic farms always grow multiple crops and must include livestock. In fact, preparations are made using such things as fermented manure, minerals and herbs, which are then dispersed throughout the property to balance the farm's life force. And it's not just some hippy-dippy form of farming, I swear, these treatments are a true form of recycling of nutrients. A \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodynamic_agriculture#cite_note-BARPP-10\">2011 report on biodynamics\u003c/a> found that, while usually resulting in lower yields, these farms had healthier soils and better energy efficiency with respect to production than conventional farms.

For that reason, biodynamic farms always grow multiple crops and must include livestock. In fact, preparations are made using such things as fermented manure, minerals and herbs, which are then dispersed throughout the property to balance the farm's life force. And it's not just some hippy-dippy form of farming, I swear, these treatments are a true form of recycling of nutrients. A \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodynamic_agriculture#cite_note-BARPP-10\">2011 report on biodynamics\u003c/a> found that, while usually resulting in lower yields, these farms had healthier soils and better energy efficiency with respect to production than conventional farms. Yes, and even better than organic farms! Astronomical influences are also of consideration, like the moon's effect on plant life.

While fresh-picked California strawberries have been brightening up the farmers' market for a while, those first fruits are never the sweetest ones. It's different with vegetables; the first pick of spring's tender young fava beans, English peas, asparagus, and new potatoes may well be the best. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But fruit needs a little time to bask in the newly warm sunshine and longer days, and right now, strawberries have finally come into their own, ripe and red and lovely, ready to perfume the table and delight moms everywhere. They are versatile and delicious every way, although you can't beat breakfast in bed highlighted with a simple bowl of strawberries and cream. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, though, you need to pick your berries right. If your mom taught you lots of great stuff but not this, well, here's what you need to know. Having harvested strawberries every day for months during my time at the UCSC's Farm and Garden program, I learned a few protocols beyond the obvious one of red=ripe. There are gradations of red, for starters. Orange-red, pinky red: these aren't the reds you are looking for. A red somewhere between stop-sign and wine: that's what you want. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, no white shoulders. Look around the stem cap; is the berry red all the way up to the top, or is there a tell-tale patch of greenish-white up there? Berries ripen tip first, so they're not fully sweet and ripe until the very top is red, too. The second test is scent; a box of truly ripe berries will pamper your Mom with its sweet, summery perfume. Finally, a truly ripe berry will be red through and through; a white, chalky-looking core means the berry was picked too soon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, the berries shouldn't have soft, shriveled spots or squishy tips; a mushy spot in the morning is a rotten spot by afternoon. Especially in organic berries, a few peck-holes are OK; we called jabbed specimens \"bird-certified ripe.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Different types of strawberry have different balances of sweetness, tartness, and flavor. Our coastal climate calls for berries that can handle cool nights and foggy days. Seascape, Chandler, and Quinalt are all delicious berries that do well here, in both farms and backyard gardens, but to my taste, Albion, a cultivar introduced by \u003ca href=\"http://www.plantsciences.ucdavis.edu/plantbreeding/main/history.htm\">UC Davis\u003c/a> in 2004, is the champ. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For making this excellent \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/05/02/spring-entertaining-made-easy-two-simple-fruit-salsa-recipes/\">strawberry salsa\u003c/a>, I picked up a great flat of organic berries from Watsonville's \u003ca href=\"http://www.pcfma.com/producers_detail.php?producer_id=402\">Rodriguez Ranch\u003c/a> at the \u003ca href=\"http://cafarmersmkts.com/markets/category/diablo-valley\">Diablo Valley Farmers' Market\u003c/a>. Right now, they've got sensational Albion berries as well as great Seascapes. I'm also fond of the organic berries grown by Swanton Berry Farm, Tomatero Farm, and Yerena Farms. It's worth it to seek out organic berries; conventional strawberry farms are big pesticide consumers, as the recent debate over the \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/ourxperience/2012/02/09/methyl-iodide-the-debate-continues/\">use of methyl iodide\u003c/a> revealed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once you've got your berries, remember that heat and moisture are the enemies of a fresh strawberry. While nothing's better than a freshly picked, sun-warmed berry, if you want to keep your berries for a few days, you need to keep them cool. For best results, lay your berries out in a single layer on a paper towel inside a glass or plastic box. Place another paper towel on top and cover. Held like this, berries should last up to 3 or 4 days. Don't rinse or hull your berries until just before you want to eat or use them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, you're well stocked with beautiful berries for Mom. Strawberries and cream, a surefire hit. But what if you want to dress up those berries a little, show Mom you've learned a thing or two since your macaroni-necklace days? \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2009/03/05/meyer-lemon-ricotta-pancakes/\">Meyer Lemon Ricotta Pancakes\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/03/10/cottage-cheese-pancakes-for-spring/\">Cottage Cheese Pancakes\u003c/a> would go perfectly with a scatter of cut-up fresh berries. You could impress Mom with a pink-and-green \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2010/04/04/eggs-for-easter/\">souffle\u003c/a> or this can't-miss \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2010/12/23/trouble-free-holiday-breakfast-strata/\">breakfast strata\u003c/a>, strawberries on the side. Or you can whip up a plate of her very favorite breakfast just the way she likes it, and serve these lovely muffins in a basket alongside. The real appeal? Baking, they'll make the kitchen smell like heaven in springtime. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The secret ingredient in these early summer morning berries is lavender sugar, made from sugar scented with a handful of lavender blossoms. It's easy to make: just let a handful of fresh, unsprayed lavender blossoms dry out for a few days, then mix them into a jar or canister of sugar (the pale gold, organic kind, by my preference). Close tightly and let the lavender perfume the sugar for a few days before using. You can use a similar technique to make vanilla sugar. Plunging a few split whole vanilla beans into a canister of sugar; after a few days, the sugar will have a subtle but delicious whiff of vanilla (leave the beans in the sugar; the flavor will deepen with time). Or, for a quickie version, split a bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with the tip of a knife. Rub the vanilla seeds into 2 cups of sugar; store in a tightly closed container to preserve the flavor. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Strawberry Lavender Muffins\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>If you don't have lavender sugar available, you can substitute vanilla or citrus-flavored sugar in these muffins.
