The Winery: This is a really fun tasting room to visit in the Lodi region.  Tasting is actually done in a transformed redwood wine holding tank that dates to the end of Prohibition.  The tank had a capacity of 49,429 gallons and makes a really great size and shape for a tasting bar, done in brick, great mode lighting and those beautiful redwood walls.  The winery itself was founded in 1934 and was purchased by the Maggio and Reynolds families, themselves multiple generation grape growers in the region, in 2002.  The winery has some great events, like wine appreciation classes, car shows and cooking classes, so check with them to see what’s coming up.
