Handley Cellars/Anderson Valley/Combines With Applewood Restaurant/Russian River

I'm very excited about this Wine Country Excursion!We will be traveling early this morning,and headed toward the coast and the incredible Anderson Valley. Milla Handley has been making wines here for many years and has seen this area go from a promising wine growing valley to a world class region with many great wineries.Handley Cellars is a small, family-owned winery in California's Mendocino County, bonded in 1982. The winery is located at the northwest end of the Anderson Valley on 59 acres of the original Holmes Ranch. Still standing on the property are the now-refurbished ranch house, barn, and the original water tower. At Handley Cellars they produce a wide variety of wines that complement today's diverse cuisine with its worldwide influences. Winemaker Milla Handley seeks to make balanced wines that possess distinctive varietal characteristics, wines that reflect the soil and climate in which they were grown. Our quality starts with our vineyards: one at our estate in Anderson Valley, and one in the Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County.Today we will learn of four great Pinot Noirs produced by Handley Cellars.We will also add a couple wines that will amaze you,and will be perfect with our special dinner feature.After enjoying Anderson Valley we will head back into Vibrant Sonoma county and enjoy Cuisine that is sustainable, local and organic. Applewood Fine Food Restaurant was honored with One Star by the Michelin Guide for 2011 and 2012. Its acclaimed cuisine is inspired by the lush bounty of the Russian River Valley and accented by Mediterranean influences. Applewood Restaurant ranks among the top fine dining restaurants in Sonoma Wine Country. It offers gracious service in a rustic and romantic setting that balances warmth and elegance.
