Limo to the Sierra Foothills Best Wines
At 10:00 AM we'll take off from the Century Theater Parking lot at Hwy 80 and Greenback/Garfield. Meet next to the theater sign across Garfield from Starbucks. Our first winery will be Baumbach Wines in Old Town Auburn, then we'll head across Hwy. 80 to Mt. Vernon also in Auburn where they have a very friendly staff and 11 wines, including a Pinot that I like alot.
Next stop we'll go to the end of the line and work our way back from Fawn Ridge Winery to our fourth and possibly most important stop, Viña Castellano Winery ("Viña" is the Spanish word for vineyard and Castile is the region in Spain, "Castellano" is what you would call a man from that region). They have great Spanish style wines and will be our FOOD stop. You will need to vote on which price point we will commit to food wise. All tastings are complimentary through Teena Wilkins the wineries manager. Click the links to find out specifics and vote on $5, $10, $15, $20 range. Teena will have a table set up for our group to enjoy these delectable and mostly finger foods created by her sister and brother-in-law who own a French restaurant in the area. Depending on the level of crowds Teena might also give us a private barrel tasting in the cellar.
After we're fat and sassy, we can mosey on down to Ophir Winery where they'll have a "road stop" style of stand out between the vineyard and lake. If we can make a 6th and 7th winery on our way back, they will be Pescatore Winery and Secret Ravine.
The Limo will be $50/person plus gratuity plus the cost for lunch at Viña Castellano Winery will be up to each individual to pay per what is voted on. You'll most likely want to purchase wines from the wineries we visit so, consider extra for that. I've turned off the ability for "Maybe" RSVP's due to it requiring payment by PayPal or by contacting me and working out a payment. I expect this to sell out fast so you might just want to settle on PayPal! Please include an additional $5 for PayPal as they charge me a surcharge.
At around 5 - 6 PM we will head back towards the cars where we can within a block get some good Tie Food and/or see a movie afterwards, or just drop whoever needs to go off.
Cheers,
Scott
