2008 Open That Bottle Night links
-
A shimmering yet dark ruby spectacle, medium purple-pink at the edges, luscious legs, faint aroma of freckle fruit and Milk Duds. Oh, and 15.9% alcohol. Did I say that I love this wine?
It's a wine blog.
It's a hiking blog.
Yes! It's a winehiking blog.
Plus, it's a Top 30 Wine Blog and the only wine tour blog covering the active California wine country experience.

"The writing is witty and fun, and in some cases fairly substantial, delivered by a dedicated blogger who is at it on nearly a daily basis. If you want to read a darn good wine-related blog or have an interest in hiking along with wine, you do want to check out Winehiker Witiculture."
— Tom Wark, Fermentation
It's rare enough to find a connoisseur of wine who also is a connoisseur of hiking and outdoor recreation, and even rarer yet to find such a person who is a dedicated blogger ... all of which make this blog a rare find indeed.
— Tom Mangan, Two-Heel Drive
"Seeking a weekend partner-friendly activity that will build desperately needed "spousal points"? Visit the Winehiker's website and blog - a site devoted to hikes which inevitably end with good food and wine. (Chicks dig that stuff. Guys do too)."
— Tom Chandler, Trout Underground
