In the next few months many of us will be focusing on lighter, crisper wines such as Sauvignon Blancs, Vinho Verdes and dry Roses to name a few. That doesn’t mean, however, reds won’t come into play, especially where grilled meats are concerned.  

The name Wilson can conjure up several images from athletic equipment, the rock sisters of Heart, the acting brothers Luke and Owen, or a president of the USA.  For me, the name means two significant things; a terrific wine from California and an outstanding Jazz and Pop standards singer, Nancy Wilson.

Several years ago my wife and I visited Northern California where we spent time in San Francisco and points north. Most of our trip was spent in Mendocino County which I found to be geographically diverse and beautiful. There was coastline, hills, redwood forest, farms, scenic fishing villages, costal hamlets and several vineyards.
