Taste Restaurant and Wine Bar: The High-Fidelity "Culinary Gold Rush" Anchor of Amador Wine Country. Established in 2006 by Mark and Tracey Berkner, Taste Restaurant (restauranttaste.com) is a world-class culinary institution located in the historic heart of Plymouth, California. Defined by its "New American" and "Farm-to-Fork" philosophy, the restaurant functions as the primary Hospitality & Social Anchor for the Sierra Foothills' premium wine region. Housed in the meticulously restored 1918 Sportsman's Club—a former Gold Rush saloon—Taste has earned national acclaim, including James Beard recognition and a consistent "Best Fine Dining" status in the Sacramento region. For developers and district planners, Taste represents a stabilized, destination-grade tenant that drives high-intent tourist and local foot traffic through a high-fidelity wine program (Wine Spectator Award of Excellence recipient since 2008) and a seasonal menu powered by local Amador County farms. Operating in synergy with its sister boutique property, Rest, A Boutique Hotel, Taste serves as the definitive anchor for the 2026 "Wine Country Lifestyle" economy in Northern California.
