Description
Here’s our latest of Amador’s Best, from a combination of Shenandoah Valley and Fiddletown grapes. Dependably full-bodied. Tastes of pepper, chocolate and fruity raspberry, with a dry, chalky finish. Use flavorful winter vegetables to bring out its fruitiness, such as Butternut Squash roasted with Cranberries. Or juxtapose the fruity flavors with a mild-but-rich Beef Bhuna Curry.
Special Instructions
Dog-friendly winery in Drytown, CA. Suzanne loves all breeds, but is partial to the herding breeds. 2015 is their second year supporting Howl at the Moon and Whine.
