Comments:
     Villa Toscano is located in the famous Shenandoah Valley portion of Amador County.  Toscano obviously likes to promote an Italian atmosphere and several Italian varietals.  On my last visit, they were pouring Viognier, Chardonnay, Sauvignon/Semillon, Sangiovese, Barbera, Shenandoah Zin, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Fox old vine Zin.  Far and away my favorite was the "Fox Old Vine Zin".  I found it to be true to the variety and true to the region.  Villa Toscano offers a fabulous facility and they are in the process of building a bistro on the premises.  In addition, at least on weekends, Toscano is always doing a barrel tasting with the opportunity to purchase futures.  As far as every day wine tasting Hors' d'ourves, Toscano reigns supreme!  See for yourself.
