Just returned from a week with five couples in the Eldorado Foothills environs with a case and a half of wine purchased during three days of wine tasting. But comparatively speaking, I was very very good: everybody else bought about four cases.

All four were strong across their entire line with good structure, acidity, varietal character, relatively modest alcohols (for the area) and an absence of jammy, overripe fruit. I didn't stop at Karly or Scott Harvey, but I liked bottles purchased and tasted while there.

I need to get up there sometime.. I buy about a case from Cedarville each year, and they seem to be great people too.
