Sonma, thank you for writing! I believe you’ll find comparing Sonoma and Calaveras wines to be a delightful experience that you’ll want to repeat often. And Calaveras County is only two hours’ drive from Sonoma!

I’ll confess that I haven’t adequately explored Calaveras County, but your post motivates me to head out at my first chance.

I’ve long been fixated on Sonoma, so I understand the popular conceptualization of “the wine country” as being exclusively Sonoma and Napa. Sonoma in particular offers such a nice balance of wineries and genteel activities — shopping, dining, etc. But then, there’s a whole world of wine out there, as you point out!

What an awesome exposé on Tanner Vineyard Syrah! I’ve had – and greatly enjoyed – both of these, though not side by side. Now I’m itchin’ to set up my own taste off! I might one-up you and do my tasting blindfolded, like in those old Coke-versus-Pepsi taste challenge commercials. Thanks for the always-interesting read and the WineQ shout-out!

Tanner Vineyard Taste-Off…

A tasting comparison of two ’04 syrahs sourced from Calaveras County’s Tanner Brothers Vineyard. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s Twisted Oak vs. Smith Wooton in tonight’s taste-off match….
