Needs recs for Philo/Boonville area of Mendocino County, CA

I think that you mean the Anderson Valley, but regardless I get the idea.

Fife's Mendo operation is in Redwood Valley (on the other side of Ukiah), not the Anderson Valley, but well worth the visit. Outside of Philo, there is Greenwood Ridge, who make good Zin and Pinot. Otherwise, I agree with your list. If they're not too into wine, you probably shouldn't give them too many names to visit. My priorities would be:

Lazy Creek Navarro Roederer Greenwood Ridge Husch

Mark Lipton

I also like:

Goldeneye Yorkville Cellars

A touch of the flu and another year older last month. Of course, you're right.

Brush up your Boontling.

Boonville is famous among linguists as the American town that invented its own language.

Do a google on "Boontling" and you'll find some fun reading.

I did see your first post on "boontling", did some "Googling" and forwarded a link to the Anderson Valley Brewing Company's site which includes a "boontling" dictionary of sorts....... just in case my cousins have trouble communicating with the natives. Thanks.
