| If
you guessed Lodi, you're correct. This California
Wine Tourism postcard-perfect view is of Abundance
Vineyards.
Abundance has just opened a new tasting room and is just one
of over fifty wineries in the Lodi region. Flat-land
vineyards dominate this region, visually distinctive for its lack of
hillsides. Hotter than most wine-growing regions, the inland Delta
formed by the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers provides natural
cooling that allows for successful grape growing. Still, heat-loving
grapes like Zinfandel dominate, and each spring, ZinFest celebrates
the region's star wine. The
Lodi Wine and Visitor Center
is one of the few successful centers of this type in the
state, and tourists to the region will want to make a stop
there as part of their trip, before visiting wineries like Jessie's
Grove
and Klinker
Brink Winery,
which features the Old Ghost - a zinfandel with a
surprising and mysterious legend. |
