  I had the pleasure of sitting and exchanging comments with Stephen Dooley, owner/winemaker of Stephen Ross Wine Cellars, whose wines were paired with Grand Master Chef Stanley Nicas's culinary artistry.
  ...
  Stephen Dooley tried to restore order from further recriminations by discussing his wines from an owner/winemaker perspective.He explained his primary interest in soil and vine contribution to the fruit in his grapes; he spoke of wood tannin and skin tannin contribution the flavor of his wines; he emphasized his preoccupation with balance among fruit, acids, tannins, alcohol, texture, and residual sugar in his wines; he concluded, saying, "Wine is made in the vineyard, the winemaker is merely the caretaker - he is dedicated to nurturing Mother Earth's largess."
  
  Approval of his wines from around the table attested to his success with his credo for achieving quality: The chardonnay and pinot noir were as good as - perhaps even better than-what the West Coast affords discriminating connoisseurs.
  ...
  Stephen's 2000 Bien Naciedo Pinot Noir recently received 95 points and best Pinot Noir of the 2000 vintage from Wine & Spirits Magazine.
  ...
  Here, Stephen spoke of the Monte Rosso zin: "The Monte Rosso vineyard is approximately 120 years old and, consequently, yields intensely flavored wines, albeit in small quantity.
  ...
  I agree with Stephen: a ‘classic example' of a superior zin.
  ...
  The now more wine-infused palateers, I included, congratulated Stephen Dooley; Andrea Gilbert, distributor; and Chris Pedersen, indefatigable rep of Ross wines, for the superb quality of the wines and the pleasure they afforded us.

  "The biggest neat thing about this building (with more than 8,600 square feet of space) is that it will have a tasting room," winery owner Stephen Dooley said."I didn't want a tasting room without production tied to it."
  
  The new winery will be capable of producing about 15,000 cases of wine a year, about 6,000 more cases than Dooley's current output.
  
  Dooley has been searching for a winery location closer to his home and the company's Edna Valley vineyards for several years.

  ...
  For winemaker Stephen Ross Dooley, making Stephen Ross wines is an act of passion.A friendly and engaging man, Steve is a firm believer in a hands-on approach in order to maintain the highest quality possible.At the same time he believes in the winemaking axiom of the late Andre Tchelistcheff: Wine makes itself and the winemaker is simply the caretaker.Given Dooley's penchant for and love of gardening, he also believes in the French proverb that the wine is made in the vineyard.Consequently, Dooley is currently producing wines from grapes grown at prestigious vineyards such as Edna Ranch, Bien Nacido and Monte Rosso.
  ...
  Stephen Ross wines reflect the passion of winemaker Stephen Dooley.

  Stephen Ross Dooley is somehow connected to the Chalone wine group.He had been the winemaker at Edna Valley Vineyards.Apparently he's somewhat of a free agent and he has a small production of wines which bear his first and middle names.This might confuse some, as there's also an "Eric Ross" label.The two are not related.
  
  The 2004 Edna Valley Chardonnay is pretty typical of his work.Good wine.Steve captures the character of Chardonnay in this wine.
