Natural wines change all the time, evolving in the glass, in the bottle, and from vintage to vintage.

You never know what natural wines you’ll find at your local shop.

You never know what your next sip will be like.

And that’s what fascinates people.

Though there are many definitions of natural wine, it’s simplest to consider natural wine is wine made with the least amount of intervention in growing and winemaking. Think naturally grown grapes, hand-harvested, pressed, fermented, bottled—and generally consumed not too long afterward.

In her new book How To Drink Natural Wine, author Rachel Signer does a very good job of enlightening us about what natural wine is, how it’s made, who makes it.

She also helpfully covers another important topic: where to drink it. The surroundings may be different from a traditional wine bar or restaurant. Signer explains “a natural wine bar might have a state-of-the-art turntable sound system and serve expensive oysters, but there’s no dress code, and the glassware is simple all-purpose.”

Rather than write from any one country-specific point of view, Signer showcases an international cross-section of natural wine producers, distributors and appreciators. The book contains four sections: What is Natural Wine; From Grape to Glass; Choosing, Pouring, Enjoying; Going Deeper. Each section has ten or twelve sub-sections, clearly labeled. The structure of the book allows readers to dive deep into the entire subject—vineyards, climate, terroir, production and ageing—or simply peruse areas of interest, a few pages at a time.

I’m fascinated by the concept of being able to taste wines today that are as similar as possible to those produced a century or more ago.

However, I also happen to be a fan of modern wines, an appreciator of certain developments that have become common in the last 50 years such as wine cellar hygiene and temperature-controlled fermentation and ageing. Other new technologies including additives such as acidification, color amplification, preservatives, or processes like alcohol “adjustment”, not so much.

While there is a furiously devoted international band of natural wine makers and appreciators, this is a relatively small percentage of wine drinkers. “Natural wine” is not available everywhere, it is produced in small amounts, and often misunderstood by wine drinkers, even devotees of the category. Signer is trying to change this.

Signer is an avowed proponent of natural wines, in all their different styles. She even produces them herself—which I read about in her engrossing, coming-of-age-in-wine tale, You Had Me at Pét-Nat: A Natural Wine-Soaked Memoir.

As a proponent of natural wine, she encourages readers to immerse themselves in this world. But she’s not immune to possible down-sides, advising us that “the gamble is part of the pleasure.”

And all this is what makes reviewing natural wines so challenging for international wine writers.

Recently, I went to Domaine Carneros in Napa for the debut of Scent and Savor, their Aroma Sensory Experience. Domaine Carneros was established nearly forty years ago by the family that owns Champagne Taittinger in France. With centuries of history behind it in France, the Napa winery produces excellent sparkling wines in the traditional method (the same production style as champagne), and has added still wines to its portfolio, too.

One of the first wineries to install solar panels over twenty years ago, Domaine Carneros is now 70% solar powered, with additional micro-grid batteries. For over a decade, the winery has been sustainably certified in multiple areas: California Sustainable; Fish-Friendly Farming; Napa Green Winery and Napa Green Vineyard. Last year Domaine Carneros was Napa’s Sustainable Winery of the Year. One of my favorite elements here is that, instead of using machines, they bring in miniature sheep to crop the greenery growing in between the rows of vines.

Inside the winery, at a beautifully laid out demonstration and tasting, we learned about detecting aromas and other sense-based elements in their wines—texture, flavor and mouthfeel—and how to use this knowledge in food-and-wine pairings.

For example, toasted cashews and brioche bring out a desirable lemon-peel note in the light and yeasty 2017 Le Rêve Brut sparkling wine, made with 100% estate-grown chardonnay.

The 2022 Verméil Demi-Sec sparkling wine, made with equal amounts of estate-grown pinot noir and chardonnay grapes, is well-balanced and deliberately not bone dry, which creates a great pairing with Asian spices.

The 2022 Famous Gate Pinot Noir, a still wine, has salinity in the aroma and flavor, along with a hint of rose petals, smoky tobacco notes, a hint of vanilla, and several types of red berries, even raisins. To illustrate different notes in the wine, on the table in front of us we had rose petals, fresh-cut vanilla beans, oak chips and cinnamon fruits. To eat, we had foods with complimentary flavors and bursts of contrast: Parker House rolls with salted butter, cottage cheese with grape accents, and arugula with cherry tomatoes.

Domaine Carneros offers several other types of tastings and tours, both private and public. You can go high-end with caviar, or more hands-on by learning how to saber open a bottle of sparkling wine.

Judging from my visit, plenty of people are eager for winery experiences of all types, even simply relaxing with a small flight of wines and an appetizer plate; the outdoor deck was full of people sipping and enjoying sunshine in the cool Carneros air by noontime on a Friday.

Open to all people and dogs, there will be fun events such as Wine and Wag, painting for dogs, dog agility and nose work demos, and contests for Best Dressed, Most Talented, Frisbee, and the owner who most looks like their dog. Other highlights include a raffle, a photo booth, food for people and pups, sessions with a pet communicator, Ask a Vet, and lots of swag and prizes. Making a special appearance is Bodhi, a 120-pound Giant Alaskan Malamute and current “Bodhi for Mayor” candidate of Mendocino, who will be stopping by Pup Palooza for his first official campaign event. A Little River resident already garnering regional media buzz, Bodhi will be available for meet-and-greets, photos, and paw shakes, along with a sneak peek at plans for a July 5 election. The event benefits Mendocino Coast Humane Society (MCHS).

The following day, on Sunday, April 26, the Inn hosts the Mendocino Coast Humane Society’s Pink Party, a festive, 21+ fundraiser celebrating the organization’s animals, volunteers, and staff. Held in Little River Inn’s Abalone Room, the afternoon invites guests to don their best blush, fuchsia, and magenta attire for a lively program that includes a Wine & Wag opening reception with complimentary rosé tasting, mocktails, and passed bites, followed by a seated luncheon, live auction, raffles, and the event’s inaugural shelter dog fashion show. The celebration continues with music, social time, and bidding opportunities, with all proceeds supporting the Humane Society’s mission to provide essential care for Mendocino Coast animals and their owners. Admission includes appetizers, lunch, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages, with ticket tiers ranging from general admission to VIP seating. And with Little River Inn’s Pink Party Package, guests can stay on site and get two tickets to the event for the price of one.

Little River Inn is a family-owned favorite. Guests enjoy four-paw amenities like access to on-leash trails with bins and bags. Many pet-friendly rooms and cottages offer fetching Pacific views, fireplaces, hot tubs, stargazing kits, and other thoughtful touches that make any stay extra special.
