“Don’t Miss” Wine Events (Sept 5-7, 2008)

September 4, 2008 |

See below for the events that we recommend for this weekend and beyond. Click on its title to visit the official web site.

California
- Mendocino
  - Mendocino County Fair and Apple Show: September 12 - 14, 8 a.m. - 1 p.m. We’ve never been to an apple show before, but we have visited the Anderson Valley. It’s picturesque and low key, and we imagine that a county fair up there showcasing Mendocino wine (not to mention, apples and many other events) would be the perfect excuse for a spontaneous weekend trip.
New York
- Hudson Valley
  - Hudson Valley Wine & Food Festival: September 6 - 7, 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. (Saturday) and 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. (Sunday). Eventually, the weather in New York is going to S-U-C-K. So why miss out on a chance to sample New York wine outdoors in the beautiful Hudson Valley?
Virginia (approximately 3 hours from Washington, D.C.)
- Rockbridge Food & Wine Festival: September 6, 12 - 5 p.m. Taste Virginia wines in an outdoor venue built into the ruins of a 19th century lime kiln and quarry. There’s buzz about the Virginia wine scene these days, so here’s a chance to judge for yourself. We’d attend if we could…
Atlanta and Philadelphia: Nothing of interest happening this week. Tune in next Wednesday!
