Brutocao Cellars is just one of the many Mendocino County
wineries that will be pouring at Taste of Mendocino on April 7.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Mendocino’s dramatic coastline has made it famous all over the world, but the County offers a lot more than ocean views and rustic coastal inns. Now inland Mendocino is getting it’s due, thanks to local winemakers who are proving that their grapes are on a par with those of nearby Sonoma and Napa.

On Saturday April 7, 2018, one of my not-to-be-missed wine tasting events returns to San Francisco. Taste of Mendocino 2018 takes place from 1-5 pm at Fort Mason Center, Gallery 308. This intimate wine tasting event will showcase the people and products unique to wild and rustic Mendocino County.

More than 30 wineries will be pouring their best wines, and numerous Mendocino County artisanal food producers will be serving up delicious gourmet bites too. This is a great way to taste back-to-back and determine your favorite producers.

Taste of Mendocino attendees will be able to purchase wine and artisanal foods at the event. Tickets are just $60 and still available. For more information visit www.tasteofmendo.com or call 707-901-7629. I love the many family-owned wineries that participate at this event. If you go, be sure to taste Brutocao Family Vineyards, Frey Wines, Handley Cellars, and Maple Creek Winery. Highly recommended! —TS
