Amador Wine Region

My wife and I went this past weekend for a wine tasting tour of the Amador County wine region in Northern California. If you haven't experienced it, this is what Napa used to be...quality wines, great atmosphere, friendly proprietors pouring their own wine, and in a tough economy they are still serving it all for free. Not to mention, they were pouring 8 to 10 wines as opposed to Napa who charges to taste 3 or 4 wines, and they aren't willing to open anything else to let you try. Take the time to go, it is a beautiful drive, great scenery with rolling hills, oak trees and grapes, and the wines won't disappoint you.
