Pure Mendocino©, a weekend celebration benefiting the Cancer Resource Centers of Mendocino County, will celebrate its 5th anniversary this year with a new 2-day schedule. On Saturday, August 29th, from 5 to 9 pm, Paul Dolan will host an alfresco wine dinner at his Biodynamic Dark Horse Vineyard above the Talmage Bench. This dinner is already sold out! Still available though on Sunday, August 30th, The Apple Farm will be showcased at an afternoon of food and wine tasting that includes a silent auction and a farm tour led by hosts Tim and Karen Bates. Both events feature locally grown or wild-harvested organic and Biodynamic cheese, meats and produce, all complemented by wines from all of Mendocino County’s organic and Biodynamic wineries.
“Pure Mendocino© is an exploration and celebration of the healthy community created around our region’s organic and Biodynamic farms, vineyards and ranches,” said Sara O'Donnell, Executive Director of the Cancer Resource Centers of Mendocino County. “It’s a unique celebration of life and hope that has educated the public while supporting the efforts of the Cancer Resource Centers, raising to date more than $150,000,” she said. The funds are the bedrock needed to finance ongoing services at no cost to those facing cancer in our community.
