Frog Hollow Cellars — Calaveras County Winery & Tasting Room

Frog Hollow Cellars is named for the hollow — the seasonal creek depression where frogs gather in spring, their chorus declaring the winter rains' arrival. The frog's presence in the hollow is a bioindicator of healthy watershed conditions: frogs require clean water, healthy riparian vegetation, and an uncompromised food chain to sustain their populations. A winery named for the frog hollow declares environmental accountability: the health of the amphibian ecosystem as a measure of the vineyard's own environmental health. The Calaveras County estate produces Zinfandel, Merlot, Syrah, and Barbera from estate vineyard sources near Murphys.
