Here’s Where to Spend 36 Food and Wine-Filled Hours in Lodi - Eater SF

"Jeremy Trettevik spent about 20 years in the wine industry before launching his own label Jeremy Wine Co. and his breadth of knowledge shows in his approach. His wines, mostly Italian red varietals and zins, are fun and delicious, and the Jeremiah’s Jug program is one of just a few like it in the region: Customers can buy a 1-liter jug and fill it at the downtown tasting room with Jeremy’s latest blend. (He’s currently on blend number 38 and has never made the same one twice.) Folks can experience Jeremy wines in two distinct environments — either the downtown tasting room with a spacious, dog-friendly patio or the barrel room in the country setting of Lockeford, just a few miles from central Lodi. The former is open daily from noon to 5 p.m., and the latter offers snacks like cheese and charcuterie. Relevant for sweet wine drinkers, the Sweetheart collection, marked with a heart, indicates sweeter blends like an indulgent chocolate port-style wine that drinks like a complete dessert." - Laura Smith Borrman
