August 22, 2024 — As pink ladies bloomed in gardens, along roadways, and on the wild coastline, Mendocino winemakers gathered in Hopland on Saturday for the annual Mendocino County Fair Wine Competition, which determines whose wine will be poured at the fair.
For the first time, the Mendocino Winegrowers did not invite wine experts but instead held a “people’s choice” competition. "It's great to have consumers, the people who buy the wine, judge the competition," said Executive Director Bonnie Butcher.
