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.
