The Amador Student Music Fund (ASMF) originated as an action project stemming from proposed budget cuts throughout the State of California, which have nearly eliminated music from the Amador County Unified School District.

The ASMF is committed to promoting, encouraging advancement of and continuing support of music for all students in Amador County. As a non-profit organization, we are also committed to establishing the fund as a resource to help our schools to maintain music as an integral part of our children's curriculum.

One of our goals is to enhance the quality of life through music for the benefit of our young people. This can be done by exposing our students to all genres of music through listening to music and seeing live performances, as well as get-acquainted hands-on activities with various musical instruments.

The purpose of AmadorArts is to be the catalyst for the arts by acting as a central dispenser of any federal, state, or private monies to county artists and arts organization; by developing programs to enhance the arts in the county; by stimulating the economic environment so as to promote county arts and artists; by establishing and maintaining relationships with local, regional, and national arts organizations; and by operating as a liaison between the Amador County Board of Supervisors and the arts community.

Young's Vineyard is nestled in the soft hills near the entrance of the Shenandoah Valley. When we purchased the property in 1992, there was an operating winery producing 1,000 cases of wine with seven acres of grapes. We sold the 1992 vintage from our tasting room in 1994.

Today production has increased to 6,000 cases of wine. Consisting of our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Syrah, Sangiovese, and Barbera. Last year our first white varietal was released, a lovely Roussanne. We have 30 beautiful acres, of which 20 are planted and producing. The reputation and demand for Young's wines has grown tremendously over the years.
