We continue touring wineries along the Russian River: Mill Creek (produces about 8,000 cases per year); Hop Kiln (a beautiful historic building that had been used to dry hops); Thomas George winery with a new cave that opened in 2010; and lastly Porter Creek winery (we had to stop here as Jon’s sister and family live in Porter Creek, a subdivision of Whitehouse, YK) an independent American winery that produces less that 4,000 cases per year.
We head east to Callistoga and camp at the Bothe Napa State Park. We cooked up the smoked pork chops in a bit of butter and olive oil, and served it with a side of quinoa and salad, paired with some local wine. Yumm
