Plymouth: Jeff Runquist Wines; things to do

tasting room at Jeff Runquist Wines in Plymouth, California
Highway 49--Gold Rush Country

Jeff Runquist Wines 

10776 Shenandoah Rd., (209) 245-6282. F-Sun 11-5.

Look for the “R” to find this understated winery, then look for the "Z" for their ultra premium Zinfandel (the grapes used for this label come from a local vineyard planted at the turn of the 19th century). It is interesting that the winemaker at Jeff Runquist Wines owns no vineyards yet makes a nice Barbera using grapes from nearby Cooper Vineyards, and a very good Pinot Noir with grapes from Napa. All wines made here are red. Taste them in a clean-lined modern tasting room with windows into the cask room.
