So many great winetasting options! So many regions, so little time!
Oak Ridge
"Every day by 4:00pm, the horn sounds and the train goes by Oak Ridge Winery, at crossing #842837B, splashed with vibrant graffiti – a stark contrast against the concrete building it passes. In Lodi harvest lore, railroads were a method of transporting grapes during harvest; now, an industrial relic no longer suited to the romance of winemaking. But romance isn’t something that Oak Ridge is overly concerned about – what we are concerned about is quality, heritage, and authenticity."
Mending Wall
"Nestled in the scenic foothills of Howell Mountain, we invite guests to visit and explore our portfolio of limited-production wines. Mending Wall honors a tradition of simple winemaking, showcasing the depth of flavor and quality fruit found in the coveted Napa Valley."
Wren Hop
"Wren Hop began in 2008 after James McDonough and his father created a single barrel, unreleased, Pinot Noir “experiment” from their Russian River Valley site. The result was a silky, deeply-layered, black cherry behemoth, studded with spice and fine-grained tannins. Many pulled corks later and in true start-up fashion, Wren Hop Vineyards was born. Passion mixed with a dose of fruit-forward adrenaline. Kaboom."
Ecluse Wines
"Welcome to Écluse Wines. We are a small, family owned boutique winery making estate wines from our Lock Vineyard. Creators Steve and Pam Lock purchased 30 acres of gently rolling hillside terrain on the much-desired Westside of the Paso Robles American Viticulture Area (AVA) in 1997. Écluse is known for producing some of Paso Robles most sought-after grapes and now fabulous, terroir driven wines. We are dedicated to producing small, limited production, handcrafted, award-winning wines."
Ryme
"Ryme Cellars is a collaboration of husband and wife with old world sensibilities, as well as admiration for California’s terroir and sunny disposition. Our portfolio of wines has grown gradually and organically since 2007, beginning with a single ton of Aglianico. The varieties may be rare or unusual but none of them are a mere curiosity for us. Rather, they represent wines that we love, drink often, and truly believe in the potential for success in their chosen sites."
Dancing Coyote
"egend has it, each year at the beginning of the growing season, a band of coyotes from the nearby foothills, sneak into our vineyards, and for no apparent reason other than treachery, chew on our irrigation lines with wild abandon. Following these scandalous acts, they have been known on occasion to join paws and dance around, howling at the moon in celebration."
