Ultimate Life Vacations: Mendocino Wineries

By Philip Vonwrede


Mendocino Wineries are an appellation which designates wine produced from grapes that are mostly grown in California, Mendocino County. This region is one of the largest in California and enjoys a diverse climate suitable for vineyards growing. The county of Mendocino is a commercial hub in the state when it comes to wine grapes and enjoys two unique climatic zones that are separated by Mendocino range. Mendocino boasts to be among the leading regions for growing wine organically and at least 25% of vineyards in the area re grown organically. Due to the more focus that the county gives on the organic viticulture; Mendocino Wineries have been a great inspiration for journalists who regard it as the organic wine Mecca in California.

Built from ground up by Maxine and Vern Boltz, Toulouse Vineyard is a leading advocate of locally grown organic grapes. They are very environment conscious, thus would only accept grapes that was grown and harvested in the most sustainable way there is now. The owners started out as fruit growers and since then, had an amazing journey to becoming winemakers in Mendocino. They only release a limited number of wine cases per year and with this, they are able to control the quality that they put out to the people. Among the fine wine varietals, Toulouse Vineyard intend to carry the best Pinot Noir in the world.

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.

Looking for quaint, try Husch Vineyards Winery. If you are coming from San Francisco in Northern California, it would only take you about a couple of hours drive to get to the Husch Vineyards Winery. Although modest in size, it certainly makes it up in its experience and long-standing presence in the wine industry. Located in the Anderson valley appellation, the vineyard is operated by the Husch family. Now in the hands of the third generation of Husches, The winery generate a set of 22 diverse wine blends and notably, 6 of them are made available nationwide. They are very meticulous and careful in developing their wine that passes the world standards and visitors can get a taste of this in their tasting room.

If you would like to see some wonderful sights, road trips and drinking champagne, then Roederer Estate Winery should be your number one stop. Every moment spent there is worth your while with their spacious wine tasting room. Even though the Anderson wine valley is smaller compared to other wine counties, every guest there is promised to have the best time.
