Murphys, CA… Black Sheep Winery arrived in Murphys with the 1984 harvest. From that first harvest we produced our 1984 Amador Zinfandel. The wine was styled in a big, bold way like nobody else could do. That’s what makes us Black Sheep; we’re different from the rest of the flock. We feature small batches of limited release wines handcrafted from high quality grapes grown in Calaveras and Amador Counties. We produce about 2,500 cases of wine per year, specializing in Zinfandels and Rhone varietals.

Murphys, CA...The 2022 Calaveras Grape Stomp & Gold Rush Street Fair are in the books. The Dwelley Devastators Crushed the Competition to Take 2022 Calaveras Grape Stomp with 18.32 lbs of juice. Their wine gives them bragging rights and Murphys street cred that will last even after their reign is over. It was great to see Murphys Community park filled and a good crowd on Main Street. The crowd may not have been quite back to pre-covid levels but the Grape Stomp is back and already looking forward to the 30th Annual Grape Stomp in 2023! We have almost a hundred photos and wide shot video of the Costume Contest, Semi-Final and Finals. We also have some highlight video from the Gold Rush Street Fair on Main Street and a bit of handheld Grape Stomp video.
