Hey gang, do you want to learn about the wines and wineries of northern Sonoma County’s winegrowing regions? Join me!
I will be teaching Wine 111.1 Sonoma AVA-North County, an 8-week course at SRJC, beginning in January, and there is still room to join to my class. We will talk about Alexander Valley, Dry Creek, Russian River, Rockpile and more AVA’s along with sensory evaluations (yes, tastings!) and special winery guests.
Hope to see you there! Cheers, Chris

Perfect timing with many places reopened to outdoor dining, or continuing with take-out & delivery. Whatever suits your preference this Sonoma County Restaurant Week 2021, which starts February 19, keeps going until February 28th! You have plenty of time so get some good #SOCO eats and support a local biz!



While not on the list this year, just a few examples to help whet the palate (all from delicious menus at Gravenstein Grill)!
Join me at Pinot On The River, this Sunday, October 21, from 11am to 3pm.
