Elevation Matters
Staggering views, fabulous wines, and wonderful hosts.
2615 feet is the altitude of the vineyards at Mount Aukum Winery in California's El Dorado County - a region long famous for Zinfandel and more recently gaining a name for the cultivation of Rhone and Italian varietals. At 2615, the air is clear, the Central Valley below is covered with fog, and the mighty Sierra Nevada lifts its snowy peaks just an arm's length away.
