Comments:
     Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting Nine Gables Vineyard & Winery.  It is located off of Shenandoah Road in the Shenandoah Valley region of Amador County.  They were pouring zinfandel, mission claret, barbera, sauvignon blanc, cabernet, viognier, semillon, and syrah.  I enjoyed all of the wines but I particularly liked the mission claret (one of the few producers of mission) and the zinfandel.  I was very impressed with the knowledgeable staff and the modern and comfortable facility.  The new winery is on some ancient Amador ground as you can tell by the size of the vines near the tasting room.
