HOPLAND — St. Helena winemaker George Vierra says wine snobs will find it “unfathomable” that climate changes may be transforming Mendocino County into a higher-quality grape-growing region than neighboring Sonoma County.
“Yet such a shift is supported by available data and expert analysis,” said Vierra.
For Vierra it’s a surprising development after 35 years of overseeing wine production for Napa Valley icons such as Charles Krug and Robert Mondavi wineries, and his own Vichon and Merlion labels.
“I was among the many who believed Mendocino vineyards were probably ‘too hot’ to produce quality grapes for high-end premium wines,” Vierra said.
Yet, an expert analysis of 50 years of summer highs shows that the Ukiah Valley is now a cooler grape-growing region than Napa Valley.
The findings are attracting the scrutiny of winemakers such as Vierra and climate experts who specialize in weather-related effects on grape-growing regions.
Vierra’s own quest to understand changes in Mendocino vineyards took root last year after he assisted in making a wine from organically grown pinot noir grapes in Hopland.
“I was amazed,” said Vierra.
Vierra said he unexpectedly found acidic levels of the Hopland grapes comparable to those grown in the famously cool Carneros region at the southern tip of Napa and Sonoma counties. That’s important because grape acidity falls significantly slower in cool regions, a process that can be sensed in the taste of a finished wine.
To better understand why, Vierra sought the opinion of nationally known climatologist Gregory Jones of Southern Oregon University. Jones the year before had compiled, analyzed and published findings from a study of 50 years of Wine Country temperature data.
Jones’ findings substantiated a warming trend in Sonoma and Napa counties, which he said is already altering grape-growing conditions. Jones said a pattern of warmer overnight temperatures appears to be stewing some cool-loving varietals.
Jones, and now Vierra, are convinced the climate shifts occurring in inland Mendocino County to the north deviate sharply from Sonoma and Napa.
Jones’ study, for example, found that the number of hot summer days over 95 degrees in the Ukiah Valley has steadily declined over five decades while temperatures in Napa have risen.
In the 1950s, Ukiah posted an average of 51 days where the high temperature reached 95 degrees or more, according to Jones’ study. The average for the last 10 years is just 29 days.
The shift is so dramatic that for three summers in a row Ukiah has on average posted cooler temperatures than Napa.
“If we didn’t have the supporting data, no one would believe it,” said Vierra.
Charlie Barra isn’t surprised. A Redwood Valley grape grower for 60 years, Barra knows from experience that conditions have changed.
“I know it’s cooler at night because my own vineyards are cooler,” said Barra, who has more than 100 acres of grapes.
Last summer, a seminar at Gloria Ferrer Winery in the Carneros district focused on global warming and the wine industry. It touched not only on how winemakers can reduce their carbon footprints but also on how climate change can affect premier grape-growing regions. Some winemakers said they had witnessed local changes, such as more heat spikes and fewer spring frosts, and those changes were influencing the way they manage vineyards.
In a recent e-mail exchange between Vierra and Jones, the Oregon weather expert theorized that a warmer Central Valley is now pulling more cool air across inland Mendocino County from the Pacific Ocean. Frequent daytime breezes are helping keep maximum temperatures down.
Jones said because Mendocino vineyards are being exposed to cooler air for longer period of times, the ripening process has slowed, which helps raise grape quality.
In contrast, Jones said Napa Valley and inland Sonoma County vineyards seem to be experiencing warmer overnight temperatures because of their proximity to the warmer Central Valley.
For Vierra, the findings help explain the surprising quality of pinot noir grapes that were being harvested on vintner Dan Fetzer’s Jeriko Estate north of Hopland. Fetzer’s decision a decade ago to plant the pinot vineyard was considered risky, given Hopland’s reputation for warm weather.
But Vierra learned the Jeriko vineyards are brushed by constant winds from the northwest. “It’s even cooler there than Ukiah,” said Vierra.
Vierra became so convinced about the new role cooling temperatures are playing in Hopland grape production that he organized a blind tasting earlier this summer. Jeriko’s pinot noir was put up against 10 highly rated pinots produced from vineyards in the more recognized Carneros district and the Russian River Valley.
Jeriko pinot came out third in the rankings.
The same pinot grapes are used to produce a sparkling Jeriko Brut Rose, which this summer won a gold medal during the prestigious Orange County Fair judging.
“It’s clear to me inland Mendocino County has become cool enough to produce some very high-quality wine grapes,” said Vierra.
Climatologist Jones believes the cooling-off in Mendocino and warming of summer nights in Napa and Sonoma are part of complex and evolving regional climate shifts that are likely to intensify over time.
The best grape-growing regions of the past may not be best in the future, said Jones.
At industry and academic conferences across the West, Jones tells listeners that some of today’s inland grape-growing regions eventually will become too hot, forcing producers to shift operations northward.
For the coastal regions of Wine Country, however, the outlook is not so bleak.
All of Jones’ data modeling suggests that coastal regions will be less affected by warming because of the moderating effects of the Pacific Ocean.You can reach Staff Writer Mike Geniella at 462-6470 or mgeniella@gmail.com.

Special Events:
Since 1970 “The Worlds Largest Salmon Barbeque” has delighted salmon lovers young and old. Every year in conjuction with the Independance Day festivities in Fort Bragg, the barbeque is one of the primary sources of funding for the year for the Salmon Restoration Association.
This year, the 2008 Salmon Barbeque is scheduled for Saturday, July 5th, from 11 am to 6 pm. In the past the salmon barbeque has fed and entertained more than 6,000 people at this huge community event. There will be live music, the aroma of grilled salmon, family and meet new friends. Great food and a love of the outdoors are all part of the atmosphere at the barbeque. Trade fish stories with and “old salt”, or join one of our younger attendees in learning about the efforts of the Salmon Restoration Associaton.
Well what’s on the menu? Delicious grilled salmon, fresh green salad, good ole’ corn on the cob and garlic bread. There will also be wine and beer available, and of course soda water and water to.
Join us this summer for a good old fashioned barbeque. We’ll grill the salmon, and you bring your appetite, and a few friends! If you’ve joined us berfore, we’ll be glad to see you back. And remember, you aren’t just having a great time eating great food, you’re supporting the restoration and preservation of our wild pacific salmon resources.
About the Associaton: The Salmon Restoration Association exists for one reason: To take positive, measurable action to restore the natural wild salmon runs to rivers of Northern California. Our primary concern at this time is the Hollow Tree Creek Hatchery. Hollow Tree Creek sits on a tributary to the Eel River in Hales Grove, California. (near California’s Lost Coast).
The association is a non-profit organization, and our primary funding come from two sources: The California Department of Fish and Game reserves a portion of the sales of commercial salmon tags for restoration work, and our annual event; The Worlds Largest Salmon Barbeque. Now a part of Californai’s history. Representative Mike Thompson of the 3rd district, has filed The Salmon Restoration Association’s “Worlds Largest Salmon Barbeque” as a Local Legacy project with the Library of Congress.
In Memory of: VEITH, Bob A veteran of 11 Indianapolis 500-Mile Races and the 1956 Rookie of the Year, “crossed the finish line” March 29, 2006 in Santa Rosa, CA. He was 81. He began his racing career in 1948 as a post World War II roadster driver and member of the California Roadsters Association paving the way for 11 Indy 500 starts beginning in 1954. Of his 11 starts in the Indianapolis “500″, six ended up with finishes in the first 12, topped by his Rookie of the Year run to seventh place in 1956. During that time Veith also competed regularly in USAC sprint car races, ranking fourth in the 1956 Midwest point standings. For more than a decade, Veith was a member of the Champion Spark Plug Company’s Highway Safety program in which Indianapolis 500 race drivers would visit the nation’s high schools in order to pass on safe driving habits to students. Veith was inducted into the BCRA Hall of Fame in 1991 as well as the Indy “500″ Hall of Fame. He retired from active racing in 1969 to his ranch in Hales Grove where he was able to pursue his wood art hobby. He was also active in the Westport Volunteer Fire Department and was Landlord of the Hollow Tree Creek Salmon Hatchery as well as on the Board of the Salmon Restoration Association, where action is taken to restore the natural wild salmon runs to rivers of Northern CA. Later, after his home burned, he moved to Santa Rosa to live with his daughter Christine Veith and granddaughter Amber Peters. They will greatly miss him as will his many friends. At his behest, no services were held.
The History: Stevenswood sits on a hill in a virgin forest overlooking the sea, the vista framed by trees and meadow. The land is private and sheltered, possessing tranquility with a long and peaceful history.
Two brothers, Robert and William Zimmer, inherited the land in 1982. Together, they created Stevenswood Lodge, envisioning a new kind of hospitality for the northern Mendocino coast - blending the matchless natural beauty of its forest by the sea setting with an elegant and spacious contemporary lodge design. Stevenswood opened its doors to the public in 1988.
Stevenswood was built from a guest’s point of view. It needed to be efficient, pleasing, and above all, comfortable. They wanted to create a civilized retreat, not a formal hotel. The Zimmers were adamant that Stevenswood would have the finest construction to create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere where guests could enjoy nature.
In 1992 Stevenswood achieved its first Four Diamond Award from AAA. It was the first property on the Mendocino coast to make such an achievement, and one of the youngest properties to achieve a Four Diamond Award statis.
Ten years later (1998) on Memorial Weekend, Stevenswood opened up its new restaurant.
The New Vision: Then at the end of 2004, Stevenswood was acquired by the current owners, Michael Webster and Seth Kelman with a vision and dedication to bring Stevenswood to a new higher level of amenities, guest services, and creature comforts. It began immediately with a massive remodeling and renovation.
Amenities for our guests;
In 2005 Stevenswood opened up its gift shop.
In 2006 Stevenswood opened the Indigo Eco-Spa. The Indigo Eco-Spa is the premier center for well-being along the Mendocino Coast. Our state-of-the art, 5 star Luxury spa surrounds and atmosphere of pampering, relaxation and rejuvenation. Our spa is the first eco-friendly spa in the United States. We offer more than 2 dozen treatments at the spa. Such as;
Come and enjoy our beautiful Tranquility Lounge and Canyon Veranda where you can enjoy spa refreshments, before or after your treatments. For a complete discription and list of services please visit The Indigo Eco-Spa.
In 2008 how do you top all of that. Well we did it. On our 20th Anniversary Stevenswood got a facelift with a new exterior paint job. “WOW” it is truly beautiful. The building is now in its full glory. Well done.
Join us for the 2008 Mendocino Film Festival. Mark the dates of May 29 thru June 1.
The Vision: The purpose of this festival is to present films that stimulate the creative connection between our inner being and the outer world, films that bring us closer to one another, films that remind us who we are. We seek strong stories and strong characters that move us to laugh, to cry, to pause and wonder about the human experience. We seek work that engages and empowers as it entertains, that ventures into realms beyond worn out conventions.
Inspiration: Mendocino has been inspiration and location for over sixty feature films. It is home to a lively mix of artists, farmers, and activists; students, teachers, and fishermen. We have our disagreements but we weather the storms together. In 2006, our inaugural year, we welcomed over 50 filmmakers from all over the world and invited them into our homes, inns and hotels. Our community and the audience it attracts bring a colorful palette of sensibilites to the dialogue. Come join our conversation.
Last year the Mendocino Film Festival scheduled more than 100 films in six categories, with over sixty filmmakers arriving from across the country and around the globe. In addtion to an extraordinary selection of films, with special emphasis on documentaries and films on art, the film festival program includes panels and workshops with professional filmmakers, concerts and other special events, including an Opening Reception and an Award Ceremony featuring local entertainment, fine food, regional wines, and champagne.
