Anderson Valley is one of our favorite winegrowing regions and the varietals that come out of this region are perfect additions to the Thanksgiving table (think Pinot Noir, Riesling and Gewürztraminer), making this a great time of year to revisit this small valley in Mendocino County. We’ve written about our travels through the winding roads of Anderson Valley before and on a recent trip, we discovered Breggo Cellars, a relatively new winery in the valley that is making some great Pinot Noir and Gewürztraminer.
Breggo Cellars is located just a few miles north of Boonville on a 203-acre farm. The name literally means “sheep” and the property was once home to one of the oldest sheep ranches in Anderson Valley. The folks at Breggo are currently sourcing their fruit from several renowned vineyards in Anderson Valley with a focus on Pinot Noir, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris. They have recently planted their own estate vineyard and eventually the fruit will come from their own farm.
We particularly enjoyed the Ferrington Vineyard Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley Gewürztraminer and Wiley Vineyard Pinot Gris. Any of these wines would make a great pairing with Thanksgiving dinner. Visit www.breggowine.com to learn more.
