What better way to wrap up the end of the year then to look back on all the fabulous wine blog posts.  Whether you’re looking for a local tasting room, a tour of a vineyard or a wine tasting event, we have profiled of the local wineries this year.  Here’s a list of my favorites and a few fun photos.  To see more photos please click here to see photos from Nevada City and click here to see photos from Grass Valley.

The two events that I profiled on our blog were the Sierra Vintners Wine Tour in May and Uncorked in August.  I can’t wait to continue my difficult “research” job and see what 2012 brings.
