Only a few years ago, very few winemakers or wine drinkers considered Anderson Valley a producer of high quality wine (except, of course, those few winemakers long there, such as Navarro Vineyards & Winery, Roederer Estate, Handley Cellars and several other under-the-radar wineries that had been making great wine for years unbeknownst to any but their fans).

Well, the money's been spent and the word is out on the street that Anderson Valley is a primo place for pinot noir, chardonnay and other cool-climate grapes.
