Mendocino County is home to several historic names in California wine - varied microclimates suitable to everything from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to Zinfandel and Grenache, as well as hops and other "green" crops too. Mendocino is one of the leading wine growing regions for organically produced wine grapes, nearly 25% of the acreage in Mendocino County is grown organically - and you thought I meant another "green" crop (one of which is also famously grown in Mendocino) like hops, didn't you? Well, one of the main towns is even named Hopland, while the big "city" at the north end is Ukiah, and the other nameless green crop is a bit of counter-culture. Speaking of which, perhaps the most interesting town in Mendocino is Boonville, which is famous for micro-brewing (moreso than wine) and also for it's own peculiar historic regional language called "Boontling" (look it up, its kind of fun). The Mendocino County wine region is part of the larger "North Coast" appellation and one of California's largest and most climatically diverse wine growing regions with two distinct climate zones separated by the Mendocino Range. On the eastern border of the county are the Mayacamas Mountains which separate it from nearby Lake County, and within the county the Mendocino Range essentially divides the Mayacamas Mountains which separate it from nearby Lake County, and within the county the Mendocino Range essentially divides the region in two. To the west of the range, closer to the coast, tends to have more maritime climate that includes cooling and fog/rain influences from the Pacific ocean - while east of the range the climate turns warmer and more Mediterranean around Ukiah and along the path of the Russian River (the river itself, not the famed wine region) as it makes it way southward to Sonoma County. This includes most of the large general area of the Mendocino County AVA (American Viticultural Area) but there are actually ten different AVA's designated within Mendocino County. The majority of Mendocino County plantings are in the eastern side of the county, in the areas near the cities of Ukiah and Hopland and Redwood Valley (which has it's own AVA). The first vineyards in Mendocino were established in the 1850s in the Redwood Valley by returning farmers who failed to strike it rich during the California Gold Rush. Most of these wineries stayed small and disappeared during Prohibition as vineyards were replaced with nut and fruit orchards. The oldest continually operating commercial winery in Mendocino County is Parducci Wines, founded in 1931, and Parducci remained the only commercial winery in Mendocino until the late 1960s when Fetzer Vineyards was founded (and would eventually grow to be the largest wine producer in the county). Fetzer would also become a leader in steering the viticultural practices of the county towards more sustainable agriculture and organic wine production. Today roughly 25% of all the vineyards in the Mendocino County are certified organic, the largest percentage of any county in California. Although most of the vineyards in the region produce wine under the larger blanket of the Mendocino AVA, there are 10 delimited AVA regions within Mendocino County, The best-known of the Mendocino AVAs are Anderson Valley, McDowell Valley, Redwood Valley, and to a lesser extent Potter Valley and Yorkville Highlands. These wine regions are climatically diverse, with some of the warmest and also some of the coolest sites in California. For example, Anderson Valley is one of the coolest wine growing regions in California, being deeply influenced by the cool Pacific fog coming in off the coast, and is well-known for Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and especially for Brut Sparkling wine production from those same varietals. At the other end of the spectrum, the warmer eastern regions near Ukiah and Hopland are famed for growing warmer climate varieties like Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Cabernet and more recently Grenache too. If you are not already familiar with the wines and the styles and the quality (and the quality-to-value) that Mendocino offers, or even if you are already a fan, be sure to read on to Bright Lights for "Dave's Top Picks" of NEW arrivals from Mendocino. Interestingly, in Dave's Top Pick white wine today, Mendocino County is home to both the warmest vineyard site and the coolest vineyard site in the cuvee. That's Mendocino for you. Add to that some old vine Zins, a red blend and a white blend by Jaxon Keys, an affordable luxury Cabernet Sauvignon made by Rich Parducci, plus the Mendocino-based wines (and more) from Jed Steele from Mendocino. It's a Mendo blendo! BRIGHT LIGHTS: Dave's Top Picks of a Mendocino double-feature! ** BARGAIN ALERT ** Unoaked yet full-flavored and classic Chardonnay by one of the true masters of Chardonnay, Jed Steele. Retail price of $12.99 per bottle and $108 per case (special pricing on the winery website). A BrightWines "Flash Sale" of 15 cases at just $7.99 per bottle! SHOOTING STAR 2011 Mendocino County CHARDONNAY @ $7.99 per bottle (sale price = $95.88 per case) Dave says: Shooting Star is Jed Steele's (Steele Winery) value label, and features different styles of his signature wines like Chardonnay and Zinfandel at value prices as well as "fun" varieties like Aligote and Blue France too. In the case of this Chardonnay, it is an unoaked Macon- Villages styled Chardonnay that is sourced from some of the best spots in Mendocino County for Chardonnay. In fact, a large portion of the fruit for Shooting Star Chardonnay comes from the Dupratt Vineyard in the very cool "Mendocino Ridge" appellation. Crisp and fresh style with mineral and apple flavors. Great value for the quality and the pedigree too. ** FEATURED WINERY: JAXON KEYS (Hopland, Mendocino County) ** Wine Enthiusiast magazine noted that "Jaxon Keys is a new Mendocino County producer operating out of the former Jepson Winery, which has been completely redone" and BrightWines is proud to introduce JAXON KEYS to Minnesota! The first shipment of these wines to our market was the week of Memorial Day, and I am proud to say that BrightWines was the first to order half-a-pallet mixed of these two wondeful blends from Mendocino County.

Parducci SIX DECADES OF MAKING WINE IN MENDOCINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA With an Introduction by John J. Golden Interviews Conducted by Carole Hicke in 1990 Copyright @ 1992 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and John A. Parducci dated April 4, 1992.
