Mendocino Winegrape Grower Showcase set for Wednesday

MENDOCINO COUNTY – On Wednesday, June 16 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., the Mendocino Winegrape & Wine Commission will host its annual Mendocino Winegrape Grower Showcase at Fountaingrove Golf & Athletic Club in Santa Rosa.


The exclusive afternoon tasting, now in its sixth year, introduces winemakers and winegrape buyers to the boutique quality of Mendocino County grapes and the wines that are crafted from them.


Unique to this year’s showcase is Mendocino’s “Tons of Appreciation” door prizes. As a very special “thank you” to those who take the time to come taste Mendocino offerings, attendees will be entered into a drawing for several tons of premium, certified-biodynamic and organic grapes, courtesy of Mendocino’s local grower community.


The grower showcase has come to be known as the event where Napa and Sonoma winemakers in-the-know make valuable connections with more than 50 estate winegrape growers, who provide access to exceptional fruit rich with Mendocino terroir. It’s also the ideal place to scout resources and contacts for the future.


Appetizers will accompany the tastings, and resource booklets detailing wines and grape varietals available by grower, and grower contact information, will also be provided.


The showcase takes place at Fountaingrove Golf & Athletic Club, 1525 Fountaingrove Parkway, in Santa Rosa.


The venue was chosen for its adherence to green practices across all of its facilities and food services, and the gorgeous setting with sweeping views of the surrounding oak-studded hills.
