Welcome to Wine Country

We spent a beautiful autumn afternoon in Amador wine country. The scenery is breathtaking in the foothills this time of year. We sampled wines from 5 vineyards before calling it a day. It's pretty hard to go beyond that unless your spitting, but who wastes good wine?. It's only 38 miles from Sacramento which makes it the perfect day trip. Our favorite was TKC vineyards because the proud owner herself was there to pour the samples and tell us the stories behind the delicious wines. Our friend Peter, the Biologist, was amazed by her fruit fly collection. I, however, was amazed by the 2004 Zinfandel.
