Murphys, CA… Black Sheep Winery arrived in Murphys with the 1984 harvest. From that first harvest we produced our 1984 Amador Zinfandel. The wine was styled in a big, bold way like nobody else could do. That’s what makes us Black Sheep; we’re different from the rest of the flock. We feature small batches of limited release wines handcrafted from high quality grapes grown in Calaveras and Amador Counties. We produce about 2,500 cases of wine per year, specializing in Zinfandels and Rhone varietals.

San Andreas, CA...Meet MIDGIE, an incredibly sweet and adorable medium-haired gray and white female kitten. Midgie was rescued from a feral colony. She was about half the size of her littermates - a true runt. At intake, she weighed less than 2 pounds and now, at about 4.5 months, she just tipped the scale at almost 3 pounds and is ready to be spayed. Midgie is very playful and energetic. She loves attention and especially enjoys being cuddled and getting brushed. Every human she meets is her new best friend. Midgie seems very healthy––she’s just miniature. This very special kitten needs a home where she is indoors only and will be showered with love and attention, because the shelter volunteers love her.
