No.

El Dorado.

El Dorado.

Oh.

Yeah.

I, I got...

I don't know, I got 16 with half or something like that in Sac County, and that, and that was a, that, that, that was a rude awakening.

You know what I mean? El Dorado County and going down to Sac County, it's, it's different.

Hello friends and listeners of Wine Soundtrack.

This is Allison Levine and today I'm sitting with Brian Bumgarner of Bumgarner Winery in El Dorado, California in the Sierra Foothills.

Brian, welcome to Wine Soundtrack and tell us a little bit about Bumgarner Winery.

Bumgarner Winery.

Always here

in the

Sierra Foothills? Always here in El Dorado.

And so here in your own property, how many acres do you own? How big is your estate?

And there are a number of those folks who represent that exact kind of behavior.

that uh... that found themselves be released early and it's because of the contact the decisions made by richard pan as an assembly member one such person was uh... was david allen funds to we talk about him a lot on this program i i never had a chance to encounter funston himself but i did in fact deal with his very very very young victim who had been taken from north highlands up into the remote portion of uh... el dorado county up uh... beyond plasterville where she was violently raped by this guy this is a little girl now a little girl not not a young woman but a little girl violent relay raped left abandoned on a street on a rural road in el dorado county where an el dorado county sheriff's deputy found her and caused for her to be transported to Marshall Hospital, which is where I dealt with her back when.

This is back in the early 1990s.

And I will never forget the harm, the evil that that criminal act illustrated so clearly, and the notion of anybody thinking that a person who had been involved in that kind of activity would be a person suitable for an early release from prison because he had reached the age of 50.

You know, they don't need to make a three-hour drive.

So collaboration's a buzzword.

Governor Peter Burnett signed it.

That autumn, in the hills of El Dorado County, near the old mill at Coloma, the sheriff reported that Native people had killed several miners and robbed some emigrants.

The governor ordered him to raise two hundred armed men.

Two hundred and fifty came forward, elected their own commander, and went out in small parties into the hills.

It happened in 1854.

An Army veteran named Jonathan R. Davis was walking with two friends on a miner's trail out in El Dorado County, that's near Lake Tahoe, when they were ambushed by an outlaw gang of 14 men.

The gang's first shots killed one of Davis's friends and badly wounded the other.

Davis was a cracked shot, armed with two Colts and a bowie knife.
