About 25% of the labels were local offerings while the rest spanned the rest of California, Italy, France, and other countries. They had some excellent producers: Waits-Mast, Occhipinti (Sicily), Marcel Lapierre (Beaujolais), etc. Retail prices were really reasonable as well. You can open any bottle for retail + $10 corkage, which is a nice option if you want to share a bottle or two among friends. They have a small selection of bites--marinated olives come with each corkage paid--mainly cheese and charcuterie focused, however when the Cafe is open, it's possible to order a small selection of bites from the Cafe as well, which is a really cool option. I heard if the cafe is a bit slow, they'll even allow ordering off the full menu. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. We'll definitely pop in again on our next trip out to the coast.

Definitely worth the visit for the beautiful views. Personally, I wasn't a fan of their wine, but…read morewe did end up purchasing a bottle of their signature "It's My Fault" in the white to drink while we were there. I've had better $10 wines, but that's just my opinion. They do sell some charcuterie items in their store which we did purchase. There was packaging from the items we purchased along with plates and napkins that were handed to us. It was odd there no trash cans on site. We had to dispose of our trash in the small restroom trash they had. I'd say visit for the view, do a tasting for $15 (light on the pours though) and stay to soak it all in.

Killer Wines, Killer Prices, Killer Vibe…read more Mendo Vino is where Mendocino's wine scene really shines. The wine selection is absolutely fire. This place contains all the local gems, thoughtfully picked, and honestly some of the best around. When I stopped by, Michael was so nice and welcoming. He actually took the time to chat with me, listened to what I liked, and helped me find exactly the right wine no pressure, just genuine advice. Seriously, it felt like having a friend guide me through the shelves and I went home with just the right flavor of wine. And now to the prices. Shockingly good. You get amazing quality without having to empty your wallet. The vibe is cool, chill, and totally unpretentious, perfect for kicking back with a glass and soaking in that Mendocino magic. If you want great wine and a friendly, relaxed spot, Mendo Vino is where it's at.

We had dinner at Petite Percebes/Good Bones on a trip to the Mendocino area in April…read more The service was pleasant and friendly, the space felt comfortable with both tables and couches (no live music at the time we visited), and everything we ate was delicious and nicely presented! Our favorites were: + Broiled oysters with bone marrow butter, Parmesan crema, and breadcrumb: although I'm not usually a huge fan of oysters, I did enjoy these particular ones! + Lemon cream pie with tangerine, lemon curd, brown butter graham, citrus marigold Chantilly: we split one slice of this pie, but I could've eaten a few more slices of the pie by myself (if my stomach had space left). Perfect ending to the meal. + Primavera panisse: crispy chickpea fritters topped with a variety of greens and flower petals. + Yuzu marigold kombucha (Wilder x Petite Percebes collaboration): this was a refreshing, lightly sweet complement to the heavier dishes of the meal. We also tried the cassoulet (which had roasted chicken thigh, Roundman's garlic sausage, pork belly, Heirloom beans - a heartier meaty dish); and the potato chowder with oyster mushrooms, spring greens, and wild nettle pistou (we loved the mushrooms in it). This spot is worth stopping by!

Loved visiting Good Bones! A hidden little gem among the coast…read more I visited on a Sunday morning with a small group of friends for a quick bite to eat before we headed off for a hike. Inside was huge! Giant bar, tons of tables for dining, along with a stage where it looked like they hosted live music! We ordered our meals up at the front counter and took a seat in the dining area. I ordered a Golden State Mighty Dry cider and their grilled cheese sandwich with added caramelized onions and mushrooms. We were the only people inside, but food came out quick. Everyone was a huge fan of their meals. I loved my sandwich, the bread was absolutely delicious. Also was a huge fan of those mushrooms they used! We ended up leaving with a fresh baked loaf of bread when we left too for home. Service was great, food was on point, and loved the vibe they had going. Would love to come back to see some music one of these days.

It turned out to be the perfect place to relax with pizza and beer on a sunny coastal afternoon. The beer list had plenty of great options, and the pizza arrived surprisingly fast. We went with a pepperoni pie, and the thin crust was exactly what we were hoping for. It was crispy around the edges with just the right amount of chew and plenty of perfectly crisped pepperoni cups. The atmosphere was laid back and welcoming, making it an easy place to linger after a day on the road. One important thing to know ahead of time is that Piaci is cash only, so come prepared. If you are passing through Fort Bragg and looking for a casual meal with good beer and solid pizza, Piaci is definitely worth the stop.
