A few weeks ago, my wife and I enjoyed a weekend away in Truckee, CA. There is a new wine tasting room in Truckee by the name of Bacchus & Venus...founded in Sausalito, CA and supposedly a big success there.
We tasted several wines and really enjoyed one from Fenestra Winery out of Livermore, CA. It was a Portuguese grape grown in Lodi, CA called Alvarelhao. This was a nice fruity forward wine with a bit of spice and smokiness that lingered in the finish. This would be great with BBQ or just sipping with friends.. Cost about $20. This can be ordered and shipped from the tasting room we went to if you can't find it. Website http://www.blogger.com/www.bacchusandvenus.com or 530-550-9800
