Owner Corrine Moore told the Sacramento Bee that the bad economy was to blame. Moore has a wealth of knowledge on brands she pours at the cellar on a regular basis, including Lang Wines, Calabria Vineyards, and the product of her own business, Wine Tree Farm. She said the closure will allow her to focus more of her energy on Wine Tree Farm, which specializes in such varietals as grenache, syrah and mourvedre. “I love the wine bar and pouring wine for people who didn't have tasting rooms, including my own. I loved talking to the people and educating them,” said Moore to the Sacramento Bee. The buidling’s owner, Joyce Davidson, says she will continue to carry many of the wines Moore pours. The Amador County Wine Cellar is located at 14207 Highway 49 in Amador City. The cellar will be having a sale starting today (Thursday, September 2nd) through Monday, September 6th, which is Labor Day. The sale is 20 percent off all merchandise and 10 percent off all wines.
