Avery, CA...A large black oak fell across Utica’s canal near Avery this week. Fortunately, it didn’t compromise the canal bank or cause a blockage, but it did create a precarious situation. A big thanks to the crews from the Vallecito Conservation Camp under Cal Fire’s direction for helping our team safely cut up and remove the hazard tree.

Arnold, CA...Ebbetts Pass Fire was able to get in some ice rescue training today. This training is pretty fun for us, however, we would hate for one of our citizens to actually fall through the ice. The ice in our area is dangerous to be on. Please stay off the ice!

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.
