On a hot September day, 14 YPs packed up few cars and embarked on a journey to wine county. Yes you read that correct, wine county. When you think about wine tasting, the first thing that comes to mind is Napa. But Napa was not the destination for this trip, this trip was to the closer, quieter but just as beautiful underdog wine tasting place called Amador County, right down Highway 16. We first stopped at Montevina, then went to Vino Noceto. We then stopped to get lunch at Amador Vintage Market for some tasty sandwiches. After lunch we continued on to the most aesthetically scenic winery called Karmere. The last winery that the group tasted at was Dobra Zemlja Winery. This was a memorable experience that we visited for the fact that the tasting was done in a cool cave on the side on a hill. We congratulated the 2 raffle winners (Janneh and Keisha) and drove safely back to Sacramento, with the wine purchased in tow. It was a wonderful time in Amador County.
