Wine Tasting in El Dorado County

Posted on the 24 July 2012 by Thenigottothinking @tracyzlesh
TL and I decided to take a mini trip to 2 El Dorado County wineries on Sunday.  We both have been really busy with work and life... and sometimes a little getaway is the perfect way for us to reconnect.
We visited TooGood Winery and Miller.  Both were cute!
TooGood has some really yummy port.  Their wines were good - but their port is what we surprisingly really enjoyed.  We actually joined their port club :)
Miller Vineyards is a really tiny winery owned by John Miller and his wife.  We stayed for almost 2 hours and chatted with another couple and the owner.  He is very nice and so proud of his wines (in a cute way).  He only makes about 800 cases of wine a year.. but his wine is really yummy - some of the best I have had in a long time.  One of his wines is actually up for the top 20 wines in the world award. He puts so much effort and love into his wine.  He's actually a retired therapist and started late in his life - he said that this is how he always dreamed of retiring.  I definitely recommend stopping in.  His tasting room isn't anything spectacular - but you feel like you're in the living room of his home while you're there.

We're so lucky to live close to Amador and El Dorado County wineries... they are a hidden treasure in California!
Hope you're having a beautiful week.
