Mendocino County’s 47 wineries produce many reds, of course, but crisp viogniers and other whites are also specialties of the region.

And in Mendocino County and elsewhere on the North Coast, you can pull up to any of scores of tasting rooms and be assured of a warm welcome. more »

Sniffing Out Tasty Wine
Anderson Valley Tasting RoomIf your dog is like most dogs, he doesn’t give a woof about the raspberry and leather notes that distinguish a 2009 pinot from its 2011 counterpart.
