A great weekend getaway to historical Lodi and the outstanding wine country there. 32% of California’s Zin production is in the surrounding Lodi vineyards.

We'll be attending the California County Fair and Frog Jumping Jubilee in Angels Camp. Mark Twain fans will recall his story of “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.” The tradition continues in Calaveras today. This is prime “California Gold Country” and there is plenty of touring and wine tasting in the area.
