Edna Valle

Baileyana Winery

Jack and Catharine Niven pioneered the planting of wine grapes in the Edna Valley in the early 1970’s. Their educated guess that the Edna Valley would have the right topography and climate to produce world-class grapes proved correct, and their vineyard enterprise flourished. Before it was common for a woman to own her own wine brand, it was Catharine Niven who was determined to join those who believed it was important to take the success of Edna Valley’s fruit one step further. That’s when the Baileyana brand was born. Named after the neighborhood where Catharine first met Jack, Baileyana reflects the marriage of 30 years of vineyard know how with the winemaking passion of our winemaker.

Winemaker Christian Roguenant was born to wine. A native of the Burgundy region of France who grew up among the vineyards, he decided early on to become a winemaker. His studies at the University of Dijon focused on enology and winemaking and included graduate coursework in wine marketing. When the Niven family decided to build a new winery in 1998 they gave a blank slate to Roguenant to design the winery of his dreams. His gracious, light-filled design is state of the art and elegantly functional. Red wines are fermented in the classic Burgundian method in numerous small, open-top fermentors. This compact system allows for gentle punch down of the caps as the wine ferments and enables Roguenant to keep each lot separate by clone, vineyard block, yeast trial, or whatever he chooses. Three individually climate-controlled barrel cellars are available to Roguenant for completing fermentation and for aging. Christian will took us on a tour through the entire process, starting at the vineyard and finishing with the tasting on the patio.

Speaking on
“Famous Mad Hatters”
The origin of the phrase “Mad as a Hatter” is due to the incidence of odd behavior on the part of workers in the early felt hat industry. Their odd behavior, or “madness”, was the result of mercury poisoning contracted on the job. This presentation will discuss the recent mercury analyses done on the hair of Isaac Newton; the deterioration of the great mind
of Michael Faraday; the bizarre behavior of Boston Corbett, the man who shotJoh n Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Abraham Lincoln; and the possibility that mercury poisoning affected the behavior of other famous people such as King Charles II of England, the author William Makepeace Thackeray, and a number of famous artists, such as Rubens, Renoir, Dufy, and Klee.
“Mad” women in History have been more difficult to locate. One eminent female whose health was affected by chemical
exposure was Clare Boothe Luce. Her health problems while serving as U.S. Ambassador to Italy in the 1950’s will be discussed. Also, mercury analysis of the hair of Russian Tsarina Anastasia, wife of Ivan the Terrible, suggest she may have been poisoned.
