Regional winery associations throughout California regularly stage big wine tasting events.  Few, however, attempt what the vintners of Amador County, in California’s Sierra Foothills, accomplish each year during their “Behind the Cellar Door” winter wine extravaganza: educate several thousand oenophiles in the intricacies of grape-growing, winemaking and wine-and-food pairing.

Planning is now underway for the 2012 edition of “Behind the Cellar Door,” scheduled for the weekend of March 3rd - 4th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.  Along with tastings of wines from barrel and bottle at 36 Amador County wineries – accompanied by a diverse array of gourmet foods and live music – Amador’s vintners will offer a panoply of entertaining seminars designed to enhance attendees’ knowledge and appreciation of wine.

Examples from years past include seminars and comparative tastings devoted to Amador specialties like zinfandel, barbera, sangiovese, syrah and port; vineyard tours elucidating vine pruning and trellising techniques, rootstock and clonal selection, and organic winegrowing practices; seminars on the nuts and bolts of winemaking, including fermentation, yeast selection and blending; demonstrations of barrel making and how barrel aging affects wine quality and character; instruction in the sensory analysis of wine; numerous wine-food pairing seminars; and presentations on cheese, olive oil and vinegar production. Tickets for the 2012 edition of the “Behind the Cellar Door” can be purchased at www.amadorwine.com or by calling (toll-free) 1-888-655-8614
Location : Sierra Foothills, CA 9310 Pacific St Plymouth, CA 95669
