The wine tasting was great - every single pour was refreshing! I enjoyed all the Pinot Noirs we tasted. We also took a stroll up the hill on our last glass, which was totally worth it - a short walk for a beautiful view.

I tasted 7 wines: Pinot Gris Pinot Noir Blanc Rosé of Pinot Noir Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Pinole Pinot Noir Perrygulch Pinot Noir Late Harvest Chardonnay Of these, my favorites were the pinot gris, the rosé, and the regular pinot noirs. That being said, I also enjoyed the chance to try the pinot noir blanc and the late harvest chardonnay, which are less common. Also, even if you're not looking for a drink and just looking for coffee, this is a great place to stop. They have their own blend of Stumptown coffee.

That is all we kept saying to each other. Our host Taylor was so lovely. She was very friendly, excited to talk about the wines with us, and gave us recommendations for food spots to try when we were staying in Mendicino. We did a tasting and I wish the pours were a tiny bit bigger but that didn't bother me at all because the view was amazing on it's own. We're so excited to come back!

The whole place has such a relaxed, authentic Anderson Valley vibe. And in a time when tasting fees seem to be everywhere, Husch's complimentary tasting is a rare and very appreciated treat these days. It made the experience feel genuinely hospitable and unpretentious. If you're looking for a laid-back winery with great hospitality, gorgeous grounds, and excellent wine, Husch is an absolute must-stop on Highway 128. We'll definitely be back

White Pinot?! What?!…read more Maggy Hawk is a recently-opened Pinot House, part of Jackson Family Wines, and they make a White Pinot! We were a big group so just bought bottles to share. Next time I'll do a full tasting! What I tried and enjoyed: JOLIE PINOT NOIR "Expressive, silky, and refined. Jolie is an elegantly transparent Pinot Noir that opens with light-footed red fruit and rhubarb, then blooms into bright raspberry, strawberry and floral notes." - from website WHITE PINOT NOIR ANDERSON VALLEY, CALIFORNIA "A unique combination of aromatics: white peach, jasmine, Meyer lemon, rose petal, blood orange and wet stone. An entirely original and truly beautiful sensory experience." - from website The White Pinot was so unique and refreshing on a hot day! Give it a try! Maggy Hawk is located in Philo, in beautiful Anderson Valley, across the street from The Madrones (a small compound of guest rooms, a boutique, tasting rooms, and a restaurant). We had a delicious lunch at Wickson, at The Madrones, then crossed the street to meet friends at Maggy Hawk. They have bocce courts and some seating in the front, more seating and a small bar inside the cozy tasting room, and tables and a pizza oven on their back patio. I look forward to returning to do a full tasting, hopefully when they're making pizzas! Cheers and thanks for the warm hospitality!

The tasting room has art from around the world and even art that Thomas himself has created. Thomas fell in love with wine on a wine tasting trip to the Burgundy wine region in France many years ago and followed his dream of owning a vineyard and making wine. He is deeply passionate about wine and dedicated to making exceptional wine and it is evident in all the wines we tasted. The 2017 Reserve was selected wine of the year at the 2021 Monterey International Wine Competition and the 2018 Reserve was selected as the John Parducci Award Recepient/Best in Class Red Wine at the 2021 Mendocino County Fair Wine Competition. This vineyard makes small production and extremely high quality wines. If you are staying in Anderson Valley or on the Mendocino coast, it is well worth the trip in to visit this place. We love Anderson Valley and fell in love with the wine here, his story of following his passion, and his devotion to making exceptional wine! The views from this place that sits on a hilltop are just an added bonus! We can't wait to go back next time we are in Anderson Valley!
