They were enthusiastically greeted by Goldie (half Akita and half Golden Retriever) whom winery staff have affectionately designated the "Assistant Winemaker." After being welcomed by Sales Manager Larry Dyson, the group was led by Cellar Master Aaron Parsons on a guided tour of the receiving, processing, storage, bottling and shipping areas. Next they went to the tasting room where they sampled a variety of wine and enjoyed light Lillian and Frank Vieira, Bill Sarina, appetizers. Several browsed and bought wine and Cleve and Donna Stafford, Linda Schneider, Paula Elias, Mary Jo Sachs other items in the gift shop. All appreciated the hospitality. and Billy Leah Berchtold Museum Hours: Wed. & Thurs., 1-3pm; Sat. & Sun., 1-4pm - Call (209) for Info. - Admission is Free
