I’ve had many Zins from Amador and El Dorado, but none from Calaveras County. I will keep an eye out for this!

Queen of the Sierra Rorick Heritage Vineyard Riesling Blend 2019

Strange wine. Very little fruit here, but a crazy amount of botanical herbs that reminds me of Chartreuse, jasmine, chamomile, slate, leafy greens, and maybe some spearmint. Not delicious but fascinating none the less. This will get someone out of their comfort zone real quick! — 5 years ago

Nodosaur Rorocik Family Vineyard White Blend 2014

Really beautifully balanced citrus notes, honeydew, and orange peel. Sorry @Sarah O'Kelley I had to jump the gun on tomorrow night’s virtual tasting. This is awesome though! — 6 years ago

Grenache 2023

Artistic, cool label. Lovely color. Smells pretty floral. Flavors are bigger, but lovely complex fruits and herbs. Rocks too. This is a nice zig from the zag kinda Grenache. Sorta higher mountain complex Red… — 7 months ago

Rorick Heritage Vineyard Mondeuse Rosé 2019

One of the best roses I’ve had in a while (and in the perfect setting). Vibrant, textural and expressive with watermelon, cherry, hibiscus and a touch of garrigue. It’s a shame I didn’t get a photo with the actual juice because the deep almost magenta color was 💣 but the bottle didn’t last long enough... — 6 years ago
