A rather nice article by MikeDunne (one of my favorite writers) in this week's SacBee on AnnKraemer's ShakeRidgeVnyd in AmadorCnty:
SacBee:ShakeRidge
I've taken that same wild ride thru the vnyd on her all-terrain vehicle that Mike describes.
We all known that "wine is made in the vnyd". Don't we?? We've been told that time & time again.
Well Ann says: “It’s not all about the vineyard,” she says abruptly. “It’s so not. It’s a lot about the winemaker. I just try to give them good ingredients.” Gadzooks...can you believe that?? From one of Calif's premium viticulturists.
Anyway...nice to see Ann get some publicity.
