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 Valley, BLUE - 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!
