Bonus Question Answer



The bonus question from last week’s blog was “Name the location of the second vineyard in the Disney parks in Anaheim, California.” The answer is the Dream Castle, Cinderella Chateau, French Village, in the Storybook Land ride in the Disneyland theme park. A photo of the Cinderella Chateau and its expansive vineyard property (about 12 inches by 18 inches) is above.

The Disney experience for wine fans can be a good one. Their fanciest hotel, The Grand Californian, includes a California-fresh restaurant called the Napa Rose. And, in the area between the different Disneyland Hotel buildings is an underground wine tasting room called The Cellar, which boasts an impressive California-centric wine list. But, Joe Plonk warns, bargains will not be found here. During a recent trip, I purchased a bottle of 2005 Rosenblum Cellars Zinfandel, North Coast appellation series (see my review on Drink Plonk) for $39 -- which is listed on the Rosenblum website at $18. Not a bargain under any budget.

Best, Joe Plonk
