Santa Cruz wineries offer great options for California wine

People think of Napa county as the center of California’s wine world. Not to be forgotten are some wonderful wineries in the Santa Cruz Mountains. One of my favorites is MJA Vineyards . At the latest wine tasting I got to enjoy their 2007 Sauvigon Blanc, which had a wonderful oak quality.
Another good winery in the area is the Heart O The Mountain winery. Located on land once owned by Alfred Hitchcock they now offer a delicious 2007 and 2008 Estate Pinot Noir. This is a darker style Pinot with fruit driven aromas. Due to the fog and affects of the Santa Cruz Mountains you always end up with unique wines. Other wineries in the region include Kathryn Kennedy Winery , Mount Eden Vineyards and many more.
Do yourself a favorite and discover yet another great wine region of California.
