Schramsberg Vineyards is a winery located in Calistoga, California in the Napa Valley region. The vineyard, which was founded in 1862 by the German immigrant Jacob Schram, produces a series of sparkling wines using the same method as champagne. Schramsberg is considered one of the premium brands in the production of sparkling wine in California and the first U.S. wine to "match the style and quality of the best French Champagnes".After nearly 50 years of inactivity, Schramsberg was acquired by Jack and Jamie Davies in 1965 who began producing champagne method wine. Today, Schramsberg is managed by Hugh Davies, the youngest son of Jack and Jamie Davies.

Calistoga AVA
Calistoga AVA

Calistoga ( ka-list-ohguh) is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located in the northwestern portion of Napa County, California, within the Napa Valley appellation surrounding the locale of Calistoga. It was established as the nation's 196th, the state's 55th and the county's seventeenth appellation on December 8, 2009 by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), Treasury after reviewing the petition submitted in 2003, by James P. "Bo" Barrett of Chateau Montelena Winery and Vineyard, on behalf of the Calistoga viticulture community, proposing a viticultural area in Napa Valley to be known as "Calistoga". The name Calistoga dates back to 1857, with the first vine plantings in 1862. Viticultural and winery census data from 1880 lists Calistoga as a distinct region separate from Napa. Despite sharing the name, Calistoga appellation does not encompass the entirety of the town. The area is noted for its topographical diversity and uniform geology, with bedrock almost exclusively made through volcanic action. The hot days provide color and flavor in the wines, while the cool nights help to maintain acidity and structure The appellation abuts the Diamond Mountain District to the south and west, the St. Helena to the southeast, and the Howell Mountain is a short way to the east. The appellation is distinguished by its volcanic soil, high temperatures up to 100 °F (38 °C) during the day, and cool nights during the growing season due to breezes from the Russian River, causing the highest diurnal temperature variation in the Napa Valley up to 50 °F (28 °C). In 2024, the Crystal Springs of Napa Valley appellation was established adjacent to Calistoga AVA's southeastern boundary. During the comment period, a vineyard was noted as split between the proposed AVA and the established Calistoga. The vineyard, known as the Crystal Springs Vineyard, sat along North Fork of Crystal Springs Road between the northwestern portion of the proposed AVA and the eastern portion of the Calistoga AVA. Approximately 11 acres (4 ha) of the vineyard lay within the Calistoga boundary, and the remaining 6 acres (2 ha) within the proposed Crystal Springs. As requested, TTB ruled on modifying the boundary of the established Calistoga AVA placing the vineyard entirely within the Crystal Springs AVA.

Calistoga Resiliency Center

The Calistoga Resiliency Center is a long-duration energy storage and power generation facility located in Calistoga, California, United States. The facility utilizes a hybrid technology configuration which couples a lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) with a hydrogen fuel cell power plant to produce a combined 8.5 MW of peak power and 293 MWh of total stored energy. When operating under average power demand, the facility is capable of providing up to 48 hours of continuous power to the City of Calistoga. The project utilizes electrolytic green hydrogen compliant with the State of California's Renewable Portfolio Standard. Once fully operational, the project is expected to be the largest green hydrogen long-duration energy storage project in the United States. The facility is designed to operate primarily as a microgrid, providing backup power to the City of Calistoga during local electrical grid power outage resulting from Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events organized by regional electrical utility, PG&E. The facility produces no point-source criteria air pollutants or greenhouse gas emissions, a significant factor in the utility's motivation to develop the project. The Calistoga Resiliency Center is owned and operated by United States energy storage and technology company, Energy Vault. The facility is contracted to supply power to PG&E via a 10.5-year power tolling agreement. The system's ability to provide 48 hours of continuous electrical power results in its characterization as a long-duration energy storage (LDES) project by most industry sources. The United States Department of Energy defines LDES as any energy storage system capable of providing 10 or more hours of electrical power.
