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.
