Great News.....Mencia in Calif - 10-05-2017 10:18:43

Very interesting article by TedReiger:
LodiMencia
on Ron Silva's Mencia project at his SilvaSpoons vnyd in Lodi.
MattRorick gets grapes from SilvaSpoons and I hope he'll be able to try his hand at Mencia. It would, undoubtedly, be a world-class Mencia.
The planting of these kinds of varieties in Lodi is very exciting and a no-brainer for Lodi. Things are looking up in Lodi. I need to get back there for a visit again.

I want to take a trip to Lodi at some point in the not too distant future. There are a number of wines I would like to taste. Never been there, seems like they are really moving up in the wine world.

If ONLY Temecula could do the same thing!

You must visit SueTipton at Aquiesce. Some amazing whites.
Temecula COULD do the same thing. But it's more profitable doing what they're doing.

sad but true about Temecula. Oh well.

When we get around to visiting Lodi, I will contact you for suggestions.

I've heard Bokisch is worth a visit too. Never even tasted their wines.

Yup, Bokisch is doing some good stuff. And Ron Silva at Silvaspoons is worth a visit.
