In between all my comings and goings there is a wee space to satiate my journalistic beginnings. In addition to my occasional Sawyer Somm blog posts, take a minute to peruse some industry magazines either in print or online. The 2020 February/March issue of The SOMM Journal is a great place to start with my two published pieces!
My column Inside Sonoma is on page 18.
Here to Stay: Sonoma County Producers Continue to Embrace Rhône Varieties
My article about The SOMM Journal Camp is on page 100.
With Love From The Russian River Valley: DeLoach Vineyards Leads SOMM Campers in a Regional Exploration of Wine and Vine
Happy Reading! Chris
