            <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.yoshis.com/">http://www.yoshis.com/</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b class="date2">History</b><br>&nbsp;Yoshi&#39;s began in 1973 as a small, North Berkeley sushi bar owned by a trio of struggling students with plenty of dreams. Its founder and namesake, Yoshie Akiba, orphaned during World War II, came to the U.S. to study fine arts, dance and dance therapy. She opened Yoshi&#39;s Japanese Restaurant with her two best friends Kaz Kajimura, a journalist and carpenter, and Hiroyuki Hori, a painter and Japanese cook. The original North-Berkeley, 25-seat restaurant quickly became successful and by 1977 the three partners moved to a larger space on Claremont Avenue in Oakland and began introducing live music in their restaurant. Over the next 20 years, Yoshi&#39;s built itself into one of the world&#39;s most respected jazz venues and won a reputation as the Bay Area&#39;s premier location for people who were looking for great food and the best jazz. Yoshi&#39;s has hosted legendary jazz greats such as Betty Carter, Max Roach, Dizzy Gillespie, Joe Williams, Diana Krall, Branford Marsalis, McCoy Tyner, Harry Connick Jr. and Oscar Peterson among hundreds of others. </p>
<p><br>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b class="date2">Yoshi&#39;s Oakland</b><br>&nbsp;In 1997, Yoshi&#39;s was invited by the Port of Oakland to relocate to Jack London Square as part of a plan to revitalize the area. Together with Morimoto Architects, Yoshi&#39;s built an award-winning 330-seat jazz club with a state-of-the-art sound system and design. Occupying 17,000 square feet in the heart of Jack London Square, the club is in it&#39;s tenth year in that location which has become one of the East Bay&#39;s greatest destinations. The restaurant and lounge have a combined capacity of 220. In 1998 Peter Williams was hired as the club&#39;s artistic director. Under his leadership, the club has continued to present the finest in jazz music, as well as world music, blues, neo-soul, latin jazz and afro-cuban music. In fall of 2006, Kajimura decided that it was time to elevate the menu to the quality of the jazz by recruiting Executive Chef Shotaro &#39;Sho&#39; Kamio, one of the Bay Area&#39;s top chefs to make the change. Chef Kamio (formerly of Ozumo) brought a whole new generation of modern Japanese cuisine to Yoshi&#39;s, which instantly put it on the map as a destination to dine in addition to the best place to hear great live music. </p>
<p><br>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b class="date2">Yoshi&#39;s San Francisco</b><br>&nbsp;Yoshi&#39;s San Francisco at Fillmore Heritage Center Yoshi&#39;s Jazz Club &amp; Japanese Restaurant will open its second Bay Area location in November of 2007. Located at 1300 Fillmore Street (at Eddy), the new location will be a 28,000 square-foot, two-story, state-of-the-art venue and will feature the best of local, national and international jazz artists with seating for 417 in the jazz club and nearly 371 in the restaurant and lounge. Not only will it be a great destination for live music, but it will also be a great place to dine. Executive Chef Kamio will oversee the menus at both San Francisco and Oakland Yoshi&#39;s. Chef Sho&#39;s menu in San Francisco will feature a slightly different version of his modern take on Japanese cuisine, which will surely enhance the overall Yoshi&#39;s experience, making it the only place in the City with great food and world-class jazz. </p>

            <link><![CDATA[http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/thomas-wine/article?mid=916]]></link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.baywood-cellars.com/index.html">http://www.baywood-cellars.com/index.html</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><a name="anchor531262"></a><a name="anchor617694"></a><font size="+0">How We Got Started</font></h3>
<p>Baywood Cellars exemplifies the Cotta family&#39;s three-quarter century commitment to quality and success. Cotta Properties was founded in 1925 by Joe Cotta Sr., and after many successful years of growing wine grapes and other agricultural commodities the John and James Cotta (Grandsons of Joe Sr.) started producing wine under their Las Viñas label in 1986. With John Cotta as winemaker and James Cotta as vineyard manager, Las Viñas immediately won awards in all of the top national and international competitions including &quot;<em>Best of Region</em> &quot;wines of the Lodi-Woodbridge region an unprecedented three years in a row in the 1988, &#39;89 and &#39;90 California State Fair wine competitions.</p>
<h3><a name="anchor624929"></a><font size="+0">Awards</font></h3>
<p>In pursuit of higher quality and perfection, John and James started vinifying grapes from the family&#39;s own central coast vineyards under the &quot;Vineyard Select&quot; Baywood label, and the highest quality Methode Champenoise sparkling wines under the Las Viñas label from the Napa Valley, which in turn immediately won awards in the major wine competition circuits. Seeing the potential of the Central Coast as being&quot;, comparable if not superior to the Napa and Sonoma growing regions&quot; John has focused his wine making talents and efforts on producing only ultra-premium wines from Monterey County and the Central Coast.</p>
<h3><a name="anchor625546"></a><font size="+0">Winemaking</font></h3>
<p>President and wine maker, John Cotta has over 20 years experience producing wine in all of California&#39;s major viticulture regions. His vast knowledge, combined with the most up-to-date wine-making technology available such as Krones filler-corker machines and MEB rotary star labeling equipment, gives Baywood Cellars the bottling capacity of up to 150 bottles per minute. With temperature controlled stainless steel tanks and French Oak cooperage Baywood can produce and store more than 300,000 cases annually. Using state-of-the-art equipment and time-tested old-world techniques, John has been able to produce wines rated among the finest in the world.</p>
<h3><a name="anchor626330"></a><font size="+0">The Family</font></h3>
<p>John and James Cotta, with the help of their father Joe Cotta Jr., currently farms over 2,000 acres of Varietal wine grapes throughout California, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Symphony and the traditional Douro region Port varieties. The family commitment to viticulture spans over three generations which includes state-of-the-art drip irrigation, trellising, integrated pest management and soil fertility programs. This provides consistent, high quality crops year after year.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Monterey County Viticultural region consisting mainly of the Salinas Valley area is probably the most versatile grape growing region in California. The Salinas Valley can be best described as a huge funnel with the city of Salinas on the North end directly open to the Pacific Ocean like the fill end of a funnel then narrowing down and stretching inland some 120 miles south to a small farming town called San Miguel. The sides of the funnel are created by the Santa Lucia Mountain Range to the west and the Diablo Range to the East. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Though only a mere 25 miles inland, the whole Salinas valley is blocked from the marine influence directly west by the Santa Lucia&#39;s, thereby forcing all marine climatic influence to enter at the entrance of the &quot;funnel&quot; (Salinas side) where the average summer temperature is around 68 degrees F. One hundred twenty miles to its southernmost point in San Miguel, temperatures can commonly reach into the low 100&#39;s just like its neighbor the great Central Valley another 50miles inland.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This &quot;funnel&quot; is also force fed from the Pacific Ocean opening every day when the early afternoon sun heats the valley floor, causing the air at the ground to heat up then rise, leaving only the seaward opening to rush in with cold, heavier marine air to fill the gap left by the rising air. This &quot;bellows&quot; type cooling effect causes windy afternoons which stretch through the entire length of the valley. If we were to drive a car inland down the Salinas Valley we would find a temperature increase of approximately 1 degree F for every two miles driven.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At Salinas, there are not enough degree days to ripen even the earlier maturing grape varieties; we need to start planting our grapes further in around the Chualar and Greenfield areas where the temperatures are barely enough to ripen Chardonnay, one of the earliest ripening varieties. This area could be compared to the Burgundy and Chablis regions of Northern France where world renowned Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are grown. In the Napa/Sonoma regions this would be directly compatible to the renowned Carneros region which borders the San Pablo Bay, the entrance to the Napa and Sonoma Valleys.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To more emphasize the importance of this time to ripening, if we were making a wine from the Central Valley region we would be harvesting our Chardonnay grapes around late July whereas the Monterey County Chardonnay would not be ripe until mid-October to mid-November. It is this longer &quot;hang time&quot; and lack of burning, damaging type heat, which gives the coastal regions their more intense superb quality wines.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As we continue on southward through the Salinas Valley we reach the King City area where we gain enough temperature to ripen Cabernet Sauvignon, one of the latest ripening varieties, and other red varieties which commonly ripen after Chardonnay. The King City area could be best compared to the Bordeaux Region of France or the Rutherfold/Oakville area of Napa Valley. These areas are the most ideal in the world for Bordeaux varieties and Rhone style varieties such as Cabernet, Merlot, and Syrah. Harvest time for Cabernet Sauvignon would typically begin in mid-October and extend into late November such as the case of this year&#39;s 1999 harvest (rain and weather permitting.) Referring back to our Central Valley comparison Cabernet Sauvignon is typically harvested in Early September through mid-October.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because of this unique geographical situation in the Salinas Valley we can drive through Chablis, Burgandy, Rhone and Bordeaux in close to 2 hours time! It is indeed a winemaker&#39;s paradise.<br></p>
<h3><a name="anchor1209369"></a><font size="+0">Central Valley</font></h3>
<p>Back in 1991 when Baywood Cellars (known as Las Viñas until a name change in 1997) won an international Gold in the super-premium category for their Cabernet Sauvignon, the standards changed for the Central Valley&#39;s <em>Lodi region </em>in that quality wines could be produced from this area. Though it&#39;s little known, Lodi&#39;s niche in the northern San Joaquin Valley contains a climate only slightly warmer than some of the inland coastal regions. Lodi&#39;s flat terrain differs from much of the Coastal regions, but vineyards around Lodi can use coastal growing techniques to enhance their quality. The Delta breeze that moves through the area provides dynamic day-night temperatures that differ from other parts of the Central Valley.<br></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><a name="anchor531262"></a><font size="+0">Baywood Cellars </font></h3>
<p>Baywood Cellars is my personal triumph to produce affordable Ultra-Premium wines. Having grown up in the Central Valley and made many gallons of wine there, I had always had the desire to &quot;get my hands on&quot; Coastal premium grapes to produce really world renowned wines. My first opportunity at this great allure was with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon fruit in 1992. After this wine was bottled it immediately won five gold medals over the course of a year. Retired from competitions due to sell off. However, due to the extraordinary rising costs of Napa vineyard ground and fruit, these types of wines are not affordable to everybody.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That&#39;s why God gave us the Central Coast region, so that everyone could be created equal. Central Coast wines are by far earning their rightful place in the world of quality wines, at times equaling and many times surpassing Napa and Sonoma wines in major wine competitions. If you read the story I have written on the &quot;Our Vineyards&quot; page, this will best describe the versatility of that region.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Another area of the Central Coast which is just as important is the San Luis Obispo County region where you have the warmer &quot;red&quot; climate around the Paso Robles area and the cooler &quot;west side&quot; vineyards which are of course, west of Paso Robles where the climate is even cooler and more suitable to the Burgundian varieties. Many Napa wineries have invested heavily in these areas and I will not mention any names as I think that it is something the wineries themselves will do at their own discretion. These areas are what make up the Baywood Cellars Ultra-Premium table wines. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Baywood Port is from our Lodi region vineyards where the climate is almost identical to Portugal&#39;s Douro region of which we explain more thoroughly down below on the Port page. Our Symphony is also from Lodi since Symphony is a hybrid grape of Muscat heritage. The Lodi region again duplicates the climate of Southern France and Southern Italy where these varieties originated. Also, since producing Symphony in 1987 from this region it has won countless awards and we feel it is not necessary to tie up coastal properties for a wine that is virtually unknown and could be price sensitive.</p>]]></description>
