Often, tasting rooms aspire to have food with their wine. Some entertain with music and others offer a place to stay. But Feist Wines has all of the above in a lovely location right in downtown Sutter Creek. Then, they offer delightful wines with prices that are easy on the wallet.

Feist Wines’ Feisty Red Table Wine from Placerville California was a favorite not just because of its price. It began with a whiff of black cherry and berry but what followed on the palate was a broad tart plum with a long slightly chewy finish of smoke and vanilla. We enjoyed savoring this wine with smoked cured meats and a platter of olives, nuts, and cheeses.
