I mentioned before that each of the Amador Wineries has its own character. Let me show you what I mean.
I showed you the metal sculpture at Story Winery but I find this wall intriguing as well. The acorn woodpeckers have stored their acorns in the siding.
I think I mentioned that it is a great place to picnic.
Driven is a new winery. It doesn't have the fancy building or gift shop that some do. It does have a wonderful view. I didn't capture it here but if I had moved a bit I could have captured a peek at a Sierra peak.
And of course, there are the cars. I played a little with the HDR on these.
The tasting room at Dobra is cut into the hill like a wine cellar. The winemaker is quite a character and his Jack Russel terriers will chase a ball until they drop.
You can take you tasting or a picnic out into the garden.
Like all of the wineries in Plymouth, Deaver has a lovely setting. We like the wine and the folks who run the tasting room.I pondered a bit as to whether or not to name the wineries. It is not my intention to be a commercial site. It is my intention to show you places I enjoy, to give you ideas for places you might enjoy visiting.

What a fantastic peek into your world. I love the woodpecker holes in the siding.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful tour, again. The scenery there is breathtaking. I like your collage of cars. And though the woodpeckers' work is intriguing, they sure are capable of doing some damage, the little rascals!
ReplyDeleteThe shot with wood pecker drills is amazing, great presentation of the other shots too.
ReplyDeleteMartha -- that was a beautiful tour. I wanted to join you on that picnic!
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful place, it has its old charm. But I really love the first shot, the holes look like golden rhinestones!

ReplyDeleteI've never heard of acorn woodpeckers before. Hmmmmmm.They sure could cause a lot of damage.

ReplyDeleteI'd like a little wine with my acorn LOL Great post
ReplyDeleteMartha - We rode our bikes through this area when we pedaled from CO to CA 5 years ago. (I nearly got killed by commuter traffic when we left there on a weekday to bike on to Folsom and Sacramento!) I do remember it as lovely, though...
