If you want to get away this holiday season, without a long trek, or crowded streets, then consider a drive up to the wine and apple farm region of El Dorado County. Just east of Sacramento this quaint foothill region, along historic Hwy 49 with legends of gold, can still stir up remembrances of times past.
Follow that up with an educational tour of the El Dorado Appellation that I wrote for Buywine.com. Be sure to share your tasty foothill adventures with us all here!
First I want to congratulate Balletto 2012 Zinfandel from Russian River Valley which was the Top Wine of the Grand Harvest Awards this year. Get yourself a bottle to find out why!
The entire list of winners will be revealed soon so keep an eye out for the link here in the upcoming weeks. Until then if you are interested in a little background about the Grand Harvest Awards then check out the Wine Competitions site. Here are a few pictures to whet your mental palate!
