In other words, the fun associated with wine making, evaluation and consumption…all on an amateur level, of course!
Having a little fun, with wine, is a main reason for
this site. The key word here is “fun.” Fun, as in no wine snobbery here. Some of the best advice we ever heard about enjoying wine is this:
|
“Pop the cork and lap it up!”
|
|
These are the words of Roy Brady, an editor of Wine World magazine, taken from an interview in 1973
with one of Chateau Garage’s wine makers as part of a college course at USC.

Wine Discovered in Gold Country!
When we were up at our Weimar location recently a couple of us took the opportunity to visit
a few wineries in the Placerville area. We’ll be putting our tasting notes in the “Tasting Notes” section shortly. But, suffice it to say, we were very favorably impressed with the wines we
tasted and the wineries. If you find yourself in the Placerville area be sure and check out the local wine fare. For your convenience, here are links to Web sites that show the wineries in
the Placerville area: http://www.visit-eldorado.com/wineries.html and http://www.eldoradowines.org/edwa.htm
