Amador county’s history is rooted not only in gold mining but in zinfandel pioneers. This wine region is rich in American spirit, tenaciousness, and the mother lode of award-winning, quality wines.

So here we are: talking about why j’adore (I love) Amador County and its wines, and why we wine lovers should pay more attention to it.

Glass in Session® Winecast - Whisky, Burns Night, and ... Beerhenge? | S9E2
play

01/28/22 • 25 min

Grab your whisky sweater and meet me in front of the fire. How we’ve gone 9 seasons without sipping a dram together of one of my favorite spirits is beyond me. And it’s beyond time.

Whisky/Whiskey: what it is, a little history, distinguishing some styles, and a little silliness (because your host cannot help herself). Just the thing for a cold, January in the northern hemisphere on this weird third rock from the sun.
