Lincoln California Wine Tasting


If you live in Lincoln and you like wine you need to stop by these 2 little gems of wineries. Most people do not even know they have wineries in Lincoln. Both these wineries have great wine! I especially liked the 2006 Barbera from Rancho Roble and the 2006 Syrah from Wise Villa.

Wise Villa's tasting room should be open by Thanksgiving. The Wise Villa Syrah- with its deep violet color highlights spicy flavors of pepper, blackberry, plum, black cherry, and roasted nut features. This wonderful Syrah is a delightful combination of flavors. Wise Villa’s Syrah is a perfect blend of fruit and spice.

The 2006 Barbera from Rancho Roble was aged in French Oak Barrels and is a hearty robust pleasure of a wine with hints of berry and spice. Barbera is the grape the Italian emigrants brought to Placer County 150 years ago when looking for gold.

The 2006 vintage pairs great with Mrs Adams' Ginger Margarined Flank Steak
