Famous for their California style wines, the vintages Gilroy’s Satori Cellars develops are big and bold with plenty of ripe fruit, bursting with flavor. Satori is like an open-air cantina that you might find in the Caribbean. Like their tagline, “There’s always a party at Satori.” It’s the only winery in our region with bar stools that shimmy up to the shaded tasting bar.

After a four-mile ride over a rough and tumble dirt road, we parked at the trailhead to Shepherd Pass above the small town of Independence on the east side of the Sierra. The sun had just begun to light the peaks 8,000 feet above us as we shouldered our packs. Temperatures in the Owens Valley had been warm, and we wanted to climb above the heat before it arrived.

Live Oak would love nothing more than to go 3-0 through the nonleague season to set up a run at the Mt. Hamilton Division.

Update: MHPD Facebook post 4:36 p.m.: "Good news! Thanks to our firefighters, the evacuation orders have been lifted for Woodland Acres. All clear! As always... thank you for your cooperation MH."
