10 Best Wineries to Visit in California’s Gold Country | Eater SF
"If the allure of seeing the smiling face of a Doggie Diner head greet you at this vineyard isn’t enough to draw you in, Vino Noceto’s (appropriately) dog-friendly patio might be another reason to stop if your pooch is along for the ride. Plus there’s the fact that Vino Noceto specializes in Italian varietals, claiming a spot among the top sangiovese producers in the state. There are other wines on the menu, such as a barbera and (of course) a zinfandel, but one other draw on warm weekends are the wine slushies made with Frivolo, Vino’s moscato." - Dianne de Guzman
