FEATURED WINERY:
“d’Art Wines”
d’Art Wines is a delightful vineyard and winery located in Lodi. The owners Dave and Helen Dart make you feel welcome no matter how busy the tasting room becomes. The grounds have several beautiful trees, lots of places for you to sit with your picnic lunch and enjoy a lovely glass or bottle of d’Art wine.
You will see a Spanish dancer on several labels and winery logo even though d’Art is a French name. It was one of the first artworks Dave Dart painted about the same time he and Helen started making wine at home. On our last visit, Helen shared some great stories of their travels to Spain, Portugal, Croatia and other beautiful locations. Dave and Helen have filled the tasting room with Dave’s photo art that displays their travels.
We were fortunate to do some barrel tasting of one of the Cabernet Sauvignon Ports. The Lodi Port is my favorite. It had amazing flavor and lingered on the palate. The 2016 Tempranillo is rich and has a full hearty flavor, with a touch of softness at the finish. Dave and his daughter, Jessica, do all the wine making.
