After our stint with Winesong in Mendocino, Jeff Morgan joins THE VARIETAL SHOW at Little River Inn, to discuss Covenant Wines. Now based in Berkeley, he has a long and “varietal” history in wine country. We taste these treasures together: 2022 Covenant Solomon Blanc, Sonoma County; 2023 Red C Rose, Lodi; 2023 Landsman Pinot Noir, Carneros.

You have to admit, they have it all! Nestled along the scenic Hwy 128 drive through Mendocino, rolling into Boonville, is Pennyroyal Farm in Anderson Valley. Proprietor Sarah Cahn Bennett shares the wines & cheeses (of goat and sheep) with THE VARIETAL SHOW for the ultimate pairings. And we learn a little “Boontling”.

The Wines: Pennyroyal Farm 2023 Pinot Trio; 2021 Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley ; 2021 Pinot Noir, Monty In; 2020 Pinot Noir, Eye of the Needle Vineyard

The Cheeses: Pennyroyal Farm Laychee, Velvet Sister, Bollie’s Mollies, Boont Corners
