The tasting room and wine shop has a bit of an Italian villa vibe. The huge back lawn was beautiful. We chose to stay inside since outside service was limited that day. The bottle labels and wine names were entertaining in themselves. With an extensive list it was hard to choose a few to try. I started with three of their five sparkling wines. The Almond, the Peach, and the Strawberry. I have an office full of girls that enjoy their sweet bubbles. So they got some that day. For me, I like the reds. Julie Ann Barbera, Sienna Mourvedre, Morgan's Nebbiolo, and Naughty Bawdy. All great, but Naughty you have to try on label and name alone. Plenty of parking in the front.

I like the white wines at this winery, especially their Vermentino. Our hostess was Wendy and she was awesome. Their winery was busy with 3-4 other groups when we arrived with just Wendy working but soon it was just our group. We had a great wine tasting experience here thanks to Wendy. We learned a lot about their winery and the surrounding areas as well. Wendy gave us great suggestions for dinner too. We went to Moonrise pizza in cute Amador City because of her.

It was hard not to resist joining their wine club as well as walking away with a case of 6 bottles! Cheers to a long term relationship!

We have been to the Amador Plymouth area multiple times and typically stay a bit more inward…read more The day we went, may 3rd, to the area we decided to try a new place and I literally typed in wineries near me on Yelp and La Mesa vineyards popped up. We were all glad that this was the main suggestion that popped up because we had such a wonderful time at the tasting room. The space itself is very clean and modern, and it has a beautiful view of the hills around the area. The outdoor seating area right in front of the tasting room is a wonderful space to take advantage of if you are going to be in the area during the warmer times of the year. We tasted their general menu that day when it came to the flights. Everyone had their own favorites. The call-outs for us would be the rose and the primitivo. Those two we really liked and bought two bottles of each. We did not get to try the food there but everything that was coming out looked super delicious. The one thing that caught her eye that a lot of people were ordering was the whipped feta. So that is definitely something we want to try next time when we go back. So if you're in the area please drive a little further out over the hill to find this wonderful little space.

However, after giving them an honest chance, we found that their wines are superb across the board. The staff are all very friendly and the vibe is not Napa-esque. ALL their wines are worth the money they cost and thus we are now members. Franklin does a great job!

We sat inside since the weather wasn't that great outside. They have beautiful grounds to taste wine and have a picnic. Since we sat inside we had Jake waiting on us. He was very nice. He gave us a bottle of water to start with and we went through the tasting list with a couple of extras. He put our wine club pickup together for us. We decided to swap out a couple of bottles. I thinks it's truly annoying they have to refund the entire wine pick up and recharge you again. It's not a friendly user experience and should be reviewed. Credit the two bottles and recharge the 2 bottles. I think it would be a simple process for the customer and the winery, and still have good accounting practices. I asked if we could have the complementary breadsticks everyone else was eating them and the girl behind the counter said we are all out. OKAY! I really love the Chardonnay it's my favorite. Rombauer makes some great wines. Bottles can be costly, but once you open the bottle and you have your first - three sips, you know why you're in the wine club. As a member your tastings are complementary which is a nice benefit. I'm happy that they hold our wine club bottles until we come to pick them up usually twice a year. It would be nice if they did complementary shipping for a penny all the time.

It's a beautiful and large winery with lots of seating inside and outside. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and were seated in their enclosed back patio.

She told us all about their winery and it's production. Unfortunately this was our 3rd winery of the day and we were pretty wined out so we only ended up buying two of their barberas. We will have to do another trip and come back.

Distant Cellars really is quite distant. They are a relatively new and obscure winery in the…read moreFiddletown area of Amador County. Their warehouse style tasting room doubles as their barrel room. The winery is located between Shenandoah and Fiddletown Roads several minutes back and up the hill. This winery focuses mainly on Syrah varietals with several blends including a GSM and a Zin/Syrah. I am not a big Syrah fan, but I did appreciate the more traditional GSM with a more subtle blend. Their Zinfandel uses a different yeast profile relying more on natural yeasts for a more lively taste. The room is also a nice escape from some of the more fancy places down the road. Distant does lack a wide variety of varietals, and their location is a bit remote. However, Syrah fans should seek out this winery for a more unique take on Amador blends and Rhone wines.
