Item Description

Collection of 4 wines from Drytown Cellars, Drytown, CA. One bottle, each, of 2013 Sierra Foothills Estate Chardonnay, 2013 Sierra Foothills Viognier, 2011 Amador County Zinfandel and Amador County Red on Red, 2 logo wine glasses and a set of wine glass ID clips.

Drytown Cellars 2013 Sierra Foothills Estate Chardonnay

Minerally and fruity, this chardonnay bursts on your palette with apple and lemon flavors, and has a clean, long finish. Try with fresh oysters or with a savory parmesan soufflé.

Drytown Cellars 2013 Sierra Foothills Viognier

Peachy, creamy fruit flavor with an herbal aroma. Enjoy with mango salsa or Thai prawns with lemon.

Drytown Cellars 2011 Amador County Zinfandel

This is so characteristic of Amador zin—a broad mouthful of zinney pepper and zing. This will only improve in the bottle. Try with Lamb or rich roast beef.

Drytown Cellars Amador County Red on Red red wine

The real art is in the blending—this red table wine has a taste profile enhanced by the contributions of each varietal. Very special.

2 logo wine glasses

1 set of wine glass ID clips 

Item Special Note

Drytown Cellars is not an “unfortunate” name for a winery! —It’s toponymous! Drytown was never “dry,” but has a long history of people determined to enjoy life while following their dreams. One of the largest towns in the foothills during California’s Gold Rush, Drytown had hotels and saloons to accommodate thousands of 49ers. Today, it’s much smaller, but probably more hospitable. And yesterday’s wine cannot compare to what visitors find here today. Delicious, bold reds; bright, fruity whites.

Owner and winemaker Allen Kreutzer produces the very best wines from Amador County and Sierra Foothill fruit—zesty zinfandels, bold barberas, smooth syrahs, and savory sauvignon blancs, to name just a few.

Our modern facility is built on the old Vaira Ranch site, on historic State Highway 49, complete with the original barn and ranch home. Come enjoy the bucolic view, taste the delicious wines, and visit with us!Stop by! You can ring the bell to get our attention if we’re not in the tasting room–we’re always glad to see visitors. And we’re always open every day from 11AM ’till 5PM.
