The California Division of Tourism has selected Groveland Hotel chef Nestor Ramirez to represent the state at this year´s International Tourism show in Berlin. The Germany exhibition is the largest travel trade show in the world.
Nanci Sikes at the Tuolumne County Visitors bureau says the choice means the MotherLode is not perceived as just a wilderness adventure area any more. Another partner in the marketing effort is Ironstone Vineyards, which Sikes says broadens the perception of the Mother Lode further.
