Last week I spent a few days in the midst of Northern California’s best wines. Results have been posted and this article in the Press Democrat talks about the selection. I have shared some pictures and the list below, however there is a much more thorough list of Gold Medal Winners in the D-section of Wednesday’s PD print version. Peruse, pontificate and plan to attend the North Coast Wine & Food Festival on June 9, to try out these fabulous wines!
