Great venue! I enjoy…read morewatching plays and musicals and have been fortunate to visit and watch some good productions on stage from large to small, modern to historic theaters. Volcano, so far, has been the smallest venue I've walked into. I love it! It's waaaaaay off Broadway, historic and there's not a bad seat in the house! It's one of the little gems in the Gold Country. Last month I was lucky to attend and watch a special showing for our group at the historic Cobblestone Theatre. We met some of the Board of Director members and we listened and heard the enthusiasm from their stories as each shared a little about the theatre. I can't recall the others who spoke but can remember Bob, the Business Manager. VTC has been performing live theatrical productions since 1974. The Cobblestone Theatre was built in 1856. I believe there are only 50 seats in the house and they do fill up. During our visit we watched, or rather listened to, "Voices" as five women shared their life stories... each a separate experience and yet not alone. We would love to experience more productions here and watch local talent when we come back, perhaps in the summer, at their outdoor theater where I understand the venue is much bigger and can hold a lot more people.

Apparently the Davy Knowles show on Aug 22 has been cancelled without any notice on their site and…read moreneither of the owners have reached out to notify us that the show was cancelled. The theater blamed Davy Knowles and Davy told us when we went to see him in SF that the theater never confirmed the dated so they rescheduled elsewhere. We have called three time and said they were sending a check. Then they said "Oh they must have missed sending our check". We bought four tickets at $161 dollars and had booked two rooms at the hotel across the street which we were thankfully able to cancel. This would have been our third time there, but don't think we will go again based on the horrible customer service we have received regarding this. No cancellation notification and NO REFUND as promised! We also sent four emails with zero response. Dana S. is right this is No way to run a business. Recommend you do not use this establishment for shows unless you are okay with throwing money down the drain. Super disappointing for this theater!

This is one of my favorite courses of all time. The course is beautiful year-round, especially late…read moreSpring and early Fall. The course is laid outdifferent from most courses. The front is a par 38 and the back is a par 32. Par 32, piece of cake, right? Wrong. The back is demanding and extremely narrow. You have to play smart, hit your shots, and leave your shots to green in the right place. The pro shop is rocked well enough and both Bob and Chris are excellent. The practice areas here are enough to get you ready for your round, or allow you to work on your game. The driving range is rough, but it works. There is an outside deli window that is open for most of the year that you can grab stuff at the turn at, and the bar has dogs and chips when the deli is closed. The restaurant has huge glass windows that let you lookout onto the course at dinner and the food has always been excellent. Everyone I have ever met here has been kind, personable, and easy-going. It's not a stuffy club. Come in the summer and watch kids cannon ball off the diving board. It's a great place to golf, a great place to just be, and it's definitely one of my happy places.

Driving from Sutter Creek I was in the town of Amador City when I saw the sign for the End of…read moreNowhere. A very boutique winery, they specialize in natural wines - it was the first time I came across a winery that only served natural wines in the area! Founded in 2016, the winery produces only 2,000 cases a year. The wines are produced using locally grown estate grapes as well as grapes from Clarksburg, Acampo and Lodi. Their estate wines are grown in Pioneer at an elevation of 3,300 feet with 13 (!!!) different varietals on only three acres. They tend to be Rhone varietals as well as Barbera which does well in the area. They use neutral oak for barreling. The tasting flight at $10 had six different wines to sample. My favorite was the 2023 Phantom Limb Zinfandel which uses carbonic fermentation. With an alcohol content of 13.8% the certified organic grapes were harvested from the D'Agostini Shenandoah Vineyard using whole bunch fermentation. With concentrated dark red fruit notes, it had flavors of fruit punch with medium tannins. The other wine that stood out was the 2023 Strange Currencies, featuring Nero D'Avola. I am a huge fan of Sicilian varietals and this one did not disappoint. Strange Currencies was slightly more acidic with red fruit aromas and flavors of dark cherries and lots of tannins. This could easily be cellared for a few years. Finally the 2023 Little Faith, Skin Contact White was an orange wine using chenin blanc, pinot gris, chardonnay and orange muscat. It was bottled with residual sugar with a Cap'n'Crunch aroma on the nose and reminiscent of orange soda and lemon rind. It was considered one of their "large production wines" at 450 cases. With such unique names, the actual tasting room lended itself to the eclectic and whimsical wine labels. Lots of wood abounds with colorful original paintings. They are actually quite well known for their burgers, for $14 you can get grass-fed 6.5 oz patties with a variety of toppings. Imma coming back to try the food next. The patio outside is welcoming overlooking a garden area. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!

Nancy, the coordinator, met with us over the last year to make sure every detail was what we hoped it would be. The last few weeks required weekly emails / phone calls to polish everything up. Nancy was wonderful to work with, and her expertise was forever appreciated. She KNOWS her details! I cannot say enough for the beauty of the venue itself. We chose to have an outdoor reception, and used the covered patio for our bar and dance floor. The tables were set up on the lawn over looking the 1st and 10th hole. The waterfall on the pond was behind us. The food was fabulous, as always. The portions were extremely generous! Our family and friends kept telling us how delicious the food was, and how gorgeous the setting was too. I think we may have to celebrate our milestone anniversary here one year.

He started working in wineries in Napa and finally opened up his own tasting room in Amador. He doesn't grow his own grapes but is expertly handling/juggling everything else from development, to marketing, to managing a tasting room and wine club. His following seems sweet and very loyal. And Rob reciprocates with hosting fun events for his wine club members - I think the latest one involved homemade carnitas tacos! We were also able to meet AJ, a local from Sutter Creek who volunteers for Rob in exchange for wine. Wondering where the nickname "Mr. Falcon" comes from. There are also other items for sale in his shop, like dried mushrooms and hats. As for the wine, I'm definitely not an expert. I thought his wines were good, but not my favorite, and he seems to be very knowledgeable. He sent us home with a Merlot that we were not able to try, but it was surprisingly good!
