Watch Culinary Travels The Lowdown on Lodi

Lodi-you might come for the "old vine" Zinfandel, stay for the hospitality, and come back to savor it all again. The wines from Lodi are getting a serious reputation for being seriously good, and they don't get any better than Phillips. Specializing in Zinfandel and Rhone Valley varietals, Phillips is a small winery scoring big points. Elsewhere in Lodi, we'll stop by the brand new wine visitors center, grab some baked goods at a terrific local bakery that's making the scene nationally as well, and discovery the first A & W Root Beer restaurant, which was right in the heart of Lodi.
