Sonoma-Cutrer Winemaker Mick Schroeter Interview
Cellar Angels interviews Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards' Director of Winemaking, Mick Schroeter - former winemaker for Penfolds and the cult wine, Penfolds Grange - to learn what makes the wines of Sonoma-Cutrer so special.
When you pull off one or two great vintages, you have the start of something good. When you have the single most requested wine in the United States for 22 years, you have Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards. Located in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County, the winery is situated in one of the greatest grape growing places in the world. Mick Schroeter is an Aussie, with a large part of his career based in Australia making wine with Penfolds in Barossa Valley, until he came to California about 20 years ago.
Sonoma-Cutrer has an established program that has classical Burgundian style in a New World environment. Mick Schroeter notes that the essence is a style with Burgundian roots utilizing New World technology and innovations to create a style similar to what is in Burgundy, but by no means the same. Sonoma-Cutrer has a very elegantly structured style, not like the typical California Chardonnays that tend to be more oaky, buttery, more full bodied. Sonoma-Cutrer is very fruit driven, very elegant, bright crisp with beautiful acidity that makes their wine go so well with food. They also have their own separate winery for Pinot Noir. It is artisan, hands-on, with open top fermenters and hand punch downs. All of the fruit is estate grown on two vineyards. One is in the heart of the Russian River Valley, the Vine Hill Ranch. The other is a spectacular site called Owsley Vineyard in the Southwestern corner of Russian River Valley. Mick spends more than half of his day walking miles and miles in the vineyards to taste the fruit.
Sonoma-Cutrer is the perfect blending of Old World wine techniques with New World style, with 30+ years of award-winning vintages. Learn More:

Gary Vaynerchuk interviews Hanzell Vineyards president Jean Arnold Sessions
There are few California wineries with the vision and storybook history of Hanzell Vineyards. While Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot were all the rage during the 1950's, Hanzell Vineyards recognized the potential for Grand Cru quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in California's Sonoma County. They still own what is believed to be the oldest Pinot Noir plantings in the United States and remain among the strongest, most consistent producers of Burgundian wines in the Golden State. Gary Vaynerchuk got a chance to chat with Hanzell Vineyards president Jean Arnold Sessions about the winery's history and why Hanzell holds a special place in his heart as a wine retailer.
The War on Drugs Is a Failure
The War on Drugs is a campaign of prohibition and foreign military aid and military intervention being undertaken by the United States government, with the assistance of participating countries, intended to both define and reduce the illegal drug trade. More on this topic:
This initiative includes a set of drug policies of the United States that are intended to discourage the production, distribution, and consumption of illegal psychoactive drugs. The term War on Drugs was first used by President Richard Nixon in 1971.
On May 13, 2009, Gil Kerlikowske, the current Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), signaled that although it did not plan to significantly alter drug enforcement policy, the Obama administration would not use the term War on Drugs, as he claims it is counter-productive. ONDCP's view is that drug addiction is a disease that can be successfully prevented and treated... making drugs more available will make it harder to keep our communities healthy and safe.(2011) One of the alternatives that Mr Kerlikowske has showcased is Sweden's Drug Control Policies that combine balanced public health approach and opposition to drug legalization. The prevalence rates for cocaine use in Sweden are barely one-fifth of European neighbors such as the United Kingdom and Spain.
In June 2011, the Global Commission on Drug Policy released a critical report on the War on Drugs, declaring The global war on drugs has failed, with devastating consequences for individuals and societies around the world. Fifty years after the initiation of the UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, and years after President Nixon launched the US government's war on drugs, fundamental reforms in national and global drug control policies are urgently needed. The report was immediately criticized by organizations that oppose a general legalization of drugs.
In 1986, the US Defense Department funded a two-year study by the RAND Corporation, which found that the use of the armed forces to interdict drugs coming into the United States would have little or no effect on cocaine traffic and might, in fact, raise the profits of cocaine cartels and manufacturers. The 175-page study, Sealing the Borders: The Effects of Increased Military Participation in Drug Interdiction, was prepared by seven researchers, mathematicians and economists at the National Defense Research Institute, a branch of the RAND, and was released in 1988. The study noted that seven prior studies in the past nine years, including one by the Center for Naval Research and the Office of Technology Assessment, had come to similar conclusions. Interdiction efforts, using current armed forces resources, would have almost no effect on cocaine importation into the United States, the report concluded.
During the early-to-mid-1990s, the Clinton administration ordered and funded a major cocaine policy study, again by RAND. The Rand Drug Policy Research Center study concluded that $3 billion should be switched from federal and local law enforcement to treatment. The report said that treatment is the cheapest way to cut drug use, stating that drug treatment is twenty-three times more effective than the supply-side war on drugs.
The National Research Council Committee on Data and Research for Policy on Illegal Drugs published its findings on the efficacy of the drug war. The NRC Committee found that existing studies on efforts to address drug usage and smuggling, from U.S. military operations to eradicate coca fields in Colombia, to domestic drug treatment centers, have all been inconclusive, if the programs have been evaluated at all: The existing drug-use monitoring systems are strikingly inadequate to support the full range of policy decisions that the nation must make.... It is unconscionable for this country to continue to carry out a public policy of this magnitude and cost without any way of knowing whether and to what extent it is having the desired effect. The study, though not ignored by the press, was ignored by top-level policymakers, leading Committee Chair Charles Manski to conclude, as one observer notes, that the drug war has no interest in its own results.
During alcohol prohibition, the period from 1920 to 1933, alcohol use initially fell but began to increase as early as 1922. It has been extrapolated that even if prohibition had not been repealed in 1933, alcohol consumption would have quickly surpassed pre-prohibition levels. One argument against the War on Drugs is that it uses similar measures as Prohibition and is no more effective.
NYSTV - Forbidden Archaeology - Proof of Ancient Technology w Joe Taylor Multi - Language
Joe Taylor, founder of Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum and his incredible findings in his many years as a paleontologist.
Whenever there is a bone discovered with the potential to shake the foundations of history, they just say that that piece of bone was contaminated.
Joe points out all you have to do is scrap off a layer of the bone and then you can get a fresh uncontaminated sample.
The educational scientific establishment is pretty shady.
Paradigm shifting discoveries that go ignored by the mainstream educational system. Elongated skulls, nephilm bones, red haired 12 foot mummies.
Abraham Lincoln once wrote that he's like to uncover the mounds that buried the giants of this lands.
He wasn't some kook. Giants throw off the whole evolutionary lie they want to promote so they go to great lengths to cove this fact up.
The Smithsonian and the Vatican have a lot to do with this cover up. They scoop up the findings and they are never seen again.
Joe Taylor talks about other subject you'll never hear from him.
