going to Cali for 4 quick days in May. Unfortunately, we are going with another couple and I let them influence our plans. so, like dumbasses, we are spending 2 nights in Healdsburg and then driving our ass over to Plymouth Valley area (Amador County/El Dorado). Now I'm excited to try some wines over there, but damn spending half a day driving is a beating.
anyway, got reservations at Limerick Lane and Ceritas for first part of journey. Both will be new visits to me although I'm familiar a little bit with their wines. Really pumped about Ceritas, although my budget is somewhat limited so I won't be able to go crazy there. Also going to go by Idlewild cause they make some interesting wines. Have one afternoon still open so waiting to hear back on a couple of places I've called. Anthill Farms already shot me down, so we'll see what happens.
As to the second part of the journey in El Dorado, Skinner for sure and probably Turley, too. Likely hit a few no-name places just to see what kind of juice they are producing on the estates out there.
