California Wine Country

I spent the long labor day weekend sleeping and eating up in Mendocino county. No, this is neither the famous Napa valley nor the newly famous wine country of Santa Barbara (thank you Sideways).

Mendocino country, and specifically, the Anderson Valley, is a great part of the less well known but not entirely undiscovered wine country of Northern California. The Anderson valley is known for it's great pinot noir grapes that make wonderful wines and sparkling wine (shhh...don't say Champagne).

My favorite places in the Anderson valley include the Boonville Hotel which serves amazing meals, the Goldeneye Winery, and the Scharffenberger and Roederer estates.
