by: Aileen Niizawa Morris

Thank you to all of you that visited Yolo County wineries this past weekend for the Fall Wine Ramble!

We had such a great time at our Friendsgiving event on Saturday with Pollo Inferno & Stone’s Throw.

Jimmy Ashley strummed and sang as we shopped and sipped yesterday.  Did you miss out on shopping or want more of what you purchased? See the vendor list below with their contact information.

The BIG Red Blend earns 90 Points by Wine Enthusiast Magazine

by: Aileen Niizawa Morris

2019 Pillars of Hercules Red Blend, Giguiere Estate 
90 POINTS, Wine Enthusiast Magazine, October 2021
“This is a serious, deep blend that celebrates ripeness and concentration without much tannin. It’s velvety on the palate, showing flavors of dark chocolate, blackberry and a hint of cocoa that give it plenty to savor.” –Jim Gordon
