Only a few more days until my first Winter Wineland!   I am so excited and I do have a few places I HAVE to stop by this weekend.....


(RED - Alexander ValleyBLUE - Dry Creek Valley, GREEN - Russian River Valley, PURPLE - Downtown Healdsburg)

Hawkes Winery in Alexander Valley / Jimtown for Coffee, etc. to pick up WINE GLASSES and start tasting!

Hanna WINERY - In either RRV or Alexander Valley. - 50's food, Elvis Impersonator

Francis Ford Coppola Winery - They have a Facebook room, blending seminars and I haven't been there for a while.

Trione Winery - Hog Island Oysters... Need I say more?

Michel-Schlumberger (Winter Wineland Olympic Village) - This is one place I will have to visit both days.  They will have a stash sale of past vintages for VERY cheap. Some wines as low as $5 a bottle... Maybe we could split a case?  Olympic games and yummy food from Relish Culinary.

Amista Winery - They will be pouring a Sparkling Syrah. Possibly the only Dry Creek Valley sparkling wine.... Soups from Jack & Tony's!

Thomas George - Some of my favorite pinots!

Merriam Vineyards - Park Avenue Catering (one of my clients) will be catering.

Other Russian River Valley wineries --- This is the area I haven't been to as much as the others, so let me know if there are any that I should specially visit!

Hudson Street Wineries - Six different wineries in downtown Healdsburg.  Great place to go at the end of day before grabbing something to eat!

Cheers.
