  • These events are held at our winery in Camino at 3550 Carson Road
  • The attendance is limited to 50 people – it’s intimate
  • Music and dining are outdoors when the weather allows and moves inside when the weather is too warm or too cool
  • It’s true that our very own Chris Scott will tell a curated selection of his famous Dad Jokes during the intermission!  Cover Your Ears!
  • The cost is $30 and includes tax, tip and a free glass of wine for wine club members.
  • Glasses of wines of your choice are $10 during the events.
  • Our menu is grilled Tri-Tip steak, pesto pasta, caesar salad and mini cobblers made from fresh local fruit.  Our chef is Amanda Moore, formerly Assistant Chef at the Crystal Basin Bistro!

July Wine of the Month, Petite Sirah

July Wine of the Month, Petite Sirah

by | Jul 12, 2023 | Wine of the Month

Petite Sirah is a Big and Unique element of California grape history.  Besides the layered blueberry and cocoa-esque tannin structure, the aspect of smooth and velvet oozes from the glass.  Dark and bold but understated because of the unique fruit grown in vineyards in El Dorado’s higher elevations, this Petite Sirah is a tasty accompaniment for your summer BBQ efforts on your patio.  Awarded 93 Points by the Wine Enthusiast in early 2023.
