Is Mendocino the New Napa?

Todays front page article in the Press Democrat describes research findings from Greg Jones at Southern Oregon State University along with anecdotal evidence from winegrowers in inland Mendocino that seasonal temperature patterns are shifting to favor high quality winegrowing. I thought the article was interesting because it draws on both academic research and observations from long time growers like Charlie Barra. Of course we like the idea of Mendocino begining to get it’s due respect in the winegrowing world as well :-)
