GETTING OUT: World-class birding at Cosumnes River Preserve
One hundred and 50 years ago, after a wet California winter, you might have needed a flat-bottomed boat to cross the Central Valley from the Coast Range to the Sierra foothills. Today, dams retain that water, then channel it through a network of dikes. Of the estimated three to five million acres of original California wetlands, only 450,000 acres remain – a reduction of 85 to 90 percent.

Monte Verde Vineyards
Monte Verde Vineyards is small family-run winery owned by Todd and Alexia Johnson. What started as a backyard hobby in 2000 with 300 Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon vines has culminated into an award-winning winery today. Alexia was born and raised in Spain and so naturally, the focus is on Spanish wines. They produce an Estate Tempranillo as well as their flagship Estate blend of Merlot, Cab and Tempranillo, called Tres Amigos. They also carry a Spanish white varietal, Albarino. Using only French barrels, their wines are produced in small lots and production is kept to less than 500 cases per year.
