Taste of Mendocino


Last night, Erik and I went to a fun event - The Taste of Mendocino. Mendocino is a county about 2 hours north of SF. The event had a TON of wine vendors, some food, some local products, and a Farmer's Market. We sampled a lot of wine! There was also a few beers but that was a very small piece of the event. For the price of a $20 ticket, we got a free wine glass and unlimited tastings of everything at the event.

Our favorite winery that was found was called Edmeades! They had a wonderful wine that is a Zinfandel, which I normally don't care for. I could not get enough of this one! For those of you who know us, you will know that we loved this winery due to the name!!

















There was also some music and this girl, who was spinning from the ceiling!


We haven't been up to Mendocino, except for when we went to Humboldt for my Half-Marathon. Mendocino seems like a fun getaway with lots of locally grown food, great Inn's and of course, wine tasting. This county is also on the water, which I'm sure makes for a beautiful setting! I entered to win a few weekend getaways so maybe we will win & make a trip!

Besides wine, there was also a whiskey producer. Erik tried it and said it tasted very sweet!























Wine event on a Monday night equals giggle time!

Too funny there is an Edmeades Wine haha! Definitely recommend going to Mendo and definitely recommended Macallum House Inn. And I remembered the name of the vegetarian restaurant - Ravens Restaurant.
