Where To Find Hello Wines, in California, when you cannot visit the winery (imagine that):
Thank-you to each of these family owned, and operated, area businesses for making a place for locally made Hello Wines;
Wine Bars and Wine Shops:
Old Vines, Angels Camp- Donicka has combined the best of 2 worlds; wine tasting and antiques. Located in historic downtown, Old Vines is a great place to have a glass of wine, made by, that's right, local wine makers. Donicka's family have been antique dealers for years, so there are plenty of interesting collectibles to check out too. Tell them I sent you, yes? Yes indeed. Open Tuesday thru Saturday until 9 PM. (209) 736-9912

Sips, Modesto- Bill and Diane have a wonderful place where you can sample flights of Hello Wines! Several times a week, Sips holds tasting of some of your favorite wine makers from around the world, and, as of yet, undiscovered wine makers, like me. Sips is a place to try wines you have never had a chance to discover, and to talk about wine in an environment where it is ok to ask questions. Open 7 days a week. (209) 527-7477
