On the wines that defy reason, and most certainly convention, from Mokelumne Glen Vineyards, where I spent my last few days in Lodi, perched in an upper room surrounded by grapevines and riverside oaks. Re https://caparoso.substack.com/p/story-of-a-california-vineyard-conjured

Are you interested in this phenomenal grape? I am showing you favorite shots of Dornfelder, a German crossing prized for its deep color, rich yet compact and svelte wines driven by high phenolic content, particularly when grown in Lodi's Mokelumne River AVA. There are a few tons available in the upcoming 2026 harvest. Please contact me for information. I can even arrange a tasting of recent bottlings.

Lest you forget, my book "Lodi!" is still available through kitchencincopress.com. It is not just the authoritative treatise on America's largest winegrowing region, written for both scholars and pure wine lovers alike. It contains chapters devoted to the old vine viticulture and alternative wine grapes associated with the appellation, with over 400 of my photos.
