Old, New Worlds
Meet in Coastal
Hill Wine Country
JBy WILEY S. MALONEY
;Uniied Prt International
San Francisco - fflPli - The
Old and New Worlds meet in
(lie beautiful coastal hill wine
Country of California just
Bonn of the Golden Gate,
f Within a day's journey, a
tisitor may evoke the ro
mance of the past in the col
orful wineries even now en
gaged in an industry older
than civilization.
; In slightly less than 200
years, California has become
the mecca in this country for
Vine tourins. This states
vineyards and wineries in the
Sonoma and Napa Valleys,
north of here, are typical.
" The visitor leaving San
Francisco across the famed
Golden Gate Bridge on High
way 101, then on State High
way 12 up the "Valley of the
Jloon" to Sonoma.
! It was here on the plaza
that the "Bear Flag" of the
California Republic was rais
ed by John Fremont and his
mountain men and it was
here, one mile northeast of
town, that Col. Agoston Har
aszthy, a Hungarian noble
man, established his wine cel
lars, vineyards and nursery
over a century ago.
: The Napa Valley also
itbounds in wineries and vine
yards carpel the lowlands and
nestle in the foothills of Mt.
St. Helena which dominates
tha valley. Robert Louis Stev
enson made the valley and
lis wines famous in his "Sil
verado Squatters," written
while he honeymooned here.
- Some of the wineries are
small family operations; oth
prs large enterprises which
distribute choice wines
throughout this country and
abroad. Among them are cha
teau - like structures, grown
with ivy, like the Christian
Brothers' Mont La Salle, near
IJapa, and the famed Grey
stone Cellars at St. Helena,
the latter a landmark beside
Highway 29 and once known
as the "largest winery in the
world."
At Rutherford, along route
29, there is the Beaulieu Vine
yard, a true California cha
teau, one of the few of its
kind in the state where the
accent is on wines and wine
production definitely inspir
ed by French taste.
Names Art German
But the names are not only
French there are German,
Italian and American names
as well. In St. Helena, the
wine lover will recognize
such noted names as the Ber
inger Brothers, operated as a
family concern since 1857;
Freemark Abbey, the Charles
Krug Winery, Hanns Kornell
Cellars and Louis M. Martini.
All have the welcome sign
out for visitors.
The tasting rooms, where
fine wines are sipped, are
furnished carefully. There
old wine pitchers, time - hon
ored glasses and historic wine
labels are displayed along
with gold and silver medals
awarded for outstanding vin
tages. The tasting rooms re
flect the character and tra
dition of wine-making.
Col. Haraszthy, in 1862,
Imported 100,000 cuttings of
choice European grape vari
eties for experimental pur
poses. The mission grapes,
brought in earlier by the
Spanish padres nearly a cen
tury before, fell into disuse.
Haraszthy laid the founda
tions of the California com
mercial winp industry. His
two great stone wineries still
ftand and are being operated
as the Buena Virta Vine
yards. This winery is now a state
historical lardmark. Visitors
as in nearly all the win
cries of the two valleys
are welcomed daily. Here
one may see the wine aging
in great oaken casks within
deep tunnels cut from the liv
ing rock many years ago by
Chinese labor. A restful paurc
comes with the sipping of
sample wines in the pleasant
coolness of the rock-hewn
tasting room.
