Northern Gold Country

Hart2Hart– Good Zins (29 wines!)

Dono del Cielo– Good Chard, Petite Sirah & a Zin/Petite Sirah blend

Southern Gold Country

Chatom Vineyards – Check out their Sangiovese and Cuvee

Vino Noceto – It was a bad day for them, we hope to have a better experience there sometime.

Amador Cellars – Good Zinfandel

Twisted Oak Winery – Another place for good Carignane

Villa Toscano

Bella Piazza – Good Zin

Ironstone – Beautiful place to visit for a picnic, eat lunch there, very large grounds, but the wines didn’t sing for us.

Hatcher Winery – Check out their Barberra

Newsome – Harlow – Good Petit Verdot, Petite Sirah & check out their blend called The Deviant (Carignane, Zin, Petite Sirah)

Irish Vineyards – Not much of a tasting room, but very good wine. One of the few places that had control of their alcohol levels and they were blending Viognier into their red blends.
