Mendocino: The Ultimate Wine and Food Lover's Guide

by Heidi H. Cusick-Dickerson, Margaret Fox (Foreword), Richard Gillette (Photographer)

Mendocino is far more than its rugged coastline. This full-color guide explores the fertile Anderson Valley, where picturesque wineries offer some of the finest wines in California, including excellent Chardonnays, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Noirs; coastal villages where family-run fisheries yield fresh crab, cod, snapper, and salmon; and the many corners of Mendocino County where distinctive breweries, gourmet food suppliers, and locally owned farms and orchards produce everything from prime meats to succulent fruits and berries. Photographer Richard Gillette captures all the charm and beauty of this idyllic county, while author Heidi Cusick provides engaging history and practical information. For natives, visitors, and armchair travelers, Mendocino offers a delicious portrait of a magical place.
