I'm looking to open a small wine store in central Stockton,CA. I love wines from Lodi and the foothill counties of Amador and Calaveras. There are great wines emerging from the Big Valley and east where the landscape is similar,in my opinion, to Tuscany.

A very clean wine with bright cherry flavors. Not a very long finish but the nice compensation is having good acid to go with some hearty Italian dishes. I think I was a little toasted at this...
