There are many festivals and wine events targeted at pinot noir lovers, but none are quite like Anderson Valley’s Pinot Noir Festival, which is held annually the third weekend of May.
This peppery, garlicky, nutty pasta from Brewery Gulch Inn in Mendocino will get your taste buds firing on all cylinders.
This scrumptious vegan crepe from Stanford Inn by the Sea in Mendocino may take some time to prepare, but is well worth the effort! You can use a combination of boletes, porcini, chanterelle or hedgehog mushrooms.
With this hearty risotto from Little River Inn, you can use locally foraged or store-bought chanterelles. It works best with Italian pearled farro.
Rex Pickett shares in his own words what he’s been writing post-Sideways, thoughts on the wines and winemakers of Anderson Valley, his impressions of the festival, and why pinot noir is, and always will be, his favorite grape.
