Mill Creek

After the disappointing Rabbit Ridge, we stopped at Mill Creek. We planned to have a snack here too and it turned out to be the perfect place. We bought a package of salami to go with the Humboldt Fog cheese and crackers we already had. Before eating however, we did yet another tasting and were very impressed with what Mill Creek had to offer. We ended up buying two bottles of their Gewurztraminer ($16) to take home to have with our Thanksgiving dinner (it was great). We also bought a bottle of their Merlot ($22) and another half bottle to have with our snack. We liked everything we tried here and will definitely visit again. I noticed three menus on the wall from the White House and asked about them. A very nice lady (one of the owners) told me that they have been served at several White House dinners. She explained that wineries don't find out about these dinners until after the fact. What happens is that the White House will buy the wine from a local distributer and after the meal, they will send the menu card to the winery. I wish I had taken pictures of the menu card, that way I could try to recreate the meal.
