Vacations Of The Rich & Famous: Mendocino Wineries

By Philip Vonwrede


Mendocino Wineries is the biggest wine region in the whole state of California. Along with it, it also gets to experience two kinds of climatic zones in which their wine grapes farming has blossomed through it. Situated in between the Mendocino range, this region is seen to be a business center for winemakers as well as wine aficionados. Most of the grapes used for wine production are organic and come from different parts of California. In fact, no less than 25% of the wineries support organic wine grapes. Because of their attention and continued support of organic farming, Mendocino wineries have caught the attention of media people.

The vision of Toulouse Vineyard is to be the pioneer in growing grapes of the highest quality by adopting sustainable farming techniques and practices. The winery aims at producing the finest form of Pinot Noir, through infusion of passion and fun of making wine. For its current owners, Maxine and Vern Boltz, theirs has been a journey of great excitement, first starting out as growers of fruits before becoming part of Mendocino Wineries. They pride themselves in production of hand crafted wine and due to their small scale production; they are able to ensure that their production is always at its best quality possible.

I love Goldeneye Winery and their Pinot Noirs wines. Goldeneye Winery has for all existence been dedicated to its goals of producing Pinot Noir wines with world wide recognition. It is situated along migration route of the popular Goldeneye duck and at the heart of the Anderson valley. Its top wine varietals include the 2011 Goldeneye Anderson valley Vin Gris, the 2010 Goldeneye Anderson valley Pinot Noir and others.

The most quaint winery I've ever experienced is Husch Vineyards Winery. The family owned Husch Vineyards Winery is rather small but one of the oldest Mendocino Wineries, located in Anderson valley appellation, 2 hours drive from San Francisco in Northern California. Under the direction of Husch family, third generation, the winery now produces 22 unique, different wines and 6 of them enjoy a national wide distribution. Their tasting room also contains other varieties of special wine selections and when it comes to Husch vineyards, quality in wine production is given top priority. With their own managed and maintained vineyards, they are able to offer high quality wine consistently.

Roederer Estate Winery is certainly the ideal place for those who like long road trips, sight-seeing and getting buzzed by yummy champagne. Each and every visitor will absolutely have a stellar time in the estate as they get to experience their wine blend in their roomy and comfortable wine tasting room.

Esterlina Vineyard is a Merlot lovers dream! Found in Philo, the Esterlina Vienyards & Winery is owned and operated by Erick Sterling and Lynn Krausmann. They are the top wine makers in the whole region. A few varieties that is being produced here are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Zinfadel, Pinot Noir and Riesling.
