Ultimate Life Vacations: Mendocino Wineries

By Philip Vonwrede


Mendocino wineries consume California-grown grapes into fine wine varietals. The Medocino County is the biggest region found in California and also delights in a vineyard-friendly climate. Being separated by the Medocino range, this wine region thrives in being subjected to 2 climatic zones. Medocino is the wine center of California, wherein in grapes are grown and harvested organically. At least of all vineyards found there adhere to this practice as well, making Medocino the chief promoter of organic farming. Due to this fact alone, writers and reporters flock to this area to learn more about it.

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.

Small and charming, try Husch Vineyards Winery. One of the first wineries to be built in the Mendocino Wineries is the family-operated Husch Vineyards Winery. With only a few hours drive from San Francisco in Northern California, you can witness the third generation of the Husch family provide the most refined wine in their tasting rooms. You may also find other wine varietals there as it currently has 22 different kinds of wines and drinks. Some of their wines are also shipped to different places in the United States, which confirms their ardor in setting the bar in wine production.

Roederer Estate Winery is the place to be for anyone who loves extended car rides watching the scenic vineyards and sipping the tasteful champagne. Visiting this winery is worthy every minute of your precious time and even though the Anderson wine valley is known for having smaller, intimate tasting rooms, Roederer Estate Winery boasts of an expansive wine tasting room where you are assured of a mind blowing experience.

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.
