If you haven’t been to Winesong — where you eat great food and drink great wines while wondering around in the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens, then get your tickets now. They sell out fast. If you have been, remember this event raises money for the Mendocino Coast Hospital to build facilities and buy equipment.
