Sandwiched in the long, narrow Anderson Valley is the Anderson Valley wine-tasting area. This is definitely one of the up-and-coming wine areas in California. Known mainly for Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, and White Riesling, the blend of hot summer days and cool foggy nights give the wines from this region a very distinct taste.
Being somewhat limited on time, we did speed-tasting though multiple wineries in about two hours. We visited Greenwood Ridge Vineyards, Handley Cellars, Husch Vineyards and Navarro Vineyards. Being a big Pinot Noir fan, I was extremely impressed with all of the wines I tasted. Forced to choose, however, I would tip my hat to Navarro Vineyards as the best overall.
