We didn't do much today. We took a nice drive through Amador County. It is home to over 40 different wineries. Amador County is renowned for its Zinfandel, but many other varieties of wine are produced as well. The County has a high percentage of old Zinfandel vines. Some of the Zinfandel vineyards in this county are more than 125 years old and are believed to be the oldest Zinfandel vineyard in America. We also visited the Amador Flower Farm. They had many varieties of flowers, but their specialty is daylilies. They offer nearly 1200 daylily varieties in pots all year at the Flower Farm. While we were driving, we drove toward Sacramento and stopped at the Davis Ranch. The ranch is a big working farm that has a nice produce stand. Their motto is "As Fresh as It Gets".

| At the Davis Ranch they pick fresh corn and deliver it by cart directly to the produce stand. The staff then pack the corn in bags and sell it to the customer. That is how they got their motto "As Fresh as It Gets". |
