NANCY AND BARB AT JODAR WINERY



We're on the last leg of Nancy and Barb's Apple Hill tour but I hear that there will be a follow up story to this. Here is Nancy's report. "We met Lisa Scott who told us that Jodar Winery's (Jodarwinery.com) tasting room is very personable
and educational at the same time. They want their customers to
understand what type of foods pair well with the wine they will
purchase.

Their grapes are grown near the El Dorado National Forest at 2,400 feet.
The American River provides a nice cool mist for their grapes. Annually
they produce around 5,500 cases.

They sell a wine that had won double gold. Compared to Napa Valley this
specific double gold medal wine sells for $22.00! Wow!

During the year they have wine club events, picnics, weekly featured
wine, and sometimes a four-piece band playing on the grassy area
adjacent to the building. I got a kick out of the glassy gem t-shirts they sold at the gift shop. For each shirt there was a particular saying about wine.
