DESCRIPTION: Winemaker Mac McDonald was born the son of a Texas moonshine maker. His mother made wine from various fruits grown on their farm. After tasting Pinot Noirs from the world over (which tasted better than moonshine) and following several trips to France, he and wife decided to become a winemakers. His Pinot Noir has won awards.

Esterlina Vineyards
DESCRIPTION: This award-winning vineyard is one of a handful of American Viticulture Associations designated appellations. Producing some of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Merlot and Pinot Noir in the region, many larger wineries purchase grapes from them. With 30 years experience as California vintners, the Sterling Family prefers a “small quantity, high quality” style of winemaking. Hence, they carefully selected each of their vineyards for climate, soil conditions and geography to present the finest fruit from superior appellations. They have a Wine Club, where you can join the family in their Fall wine crush. It is located on 400-acres in Mendocino County, so bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the spectacular views.
