Fri, 19 Mar 2010 15:08:00 -0700 Something fishy is going on at @M_Schlumberger. http://shanaray.posterous.com/something-fishy-is-going-on-at-mschlumberger http://shanaray.posterous.com/something-fishy-is-going-on-at-mschlumberger

Fish

There are so many puns that I could come up with in telling you all about Fish Day at Michel-Schlumberger Wine Estate.  Instead, I will simply say that tomorrow they are kicking off their first event in their Worms to Wine Nature Series.

Over the next six months, Michel-Schlumberger will be presenting monthly educational events that highlight their commitment to the land and showcase specific aspects of their organic and sustainable farming practices.   MS is more than a winery know for their kick ass wines, videos, silly hats and awesome social media skills.... Thanks in part to Judd, Jim and myself. :)   They are a winery that truly cares about the area that they make their wine.   They truly walk the walk when it comes to sustainable farming practices.... Take a look at today's article in the Press Democrat about them...  Oh wait, that was from Wednesday.  :)  

I mean this one: Habitat restoration will benefit trout and salmon, about all that winemaker Mike Brunson is doing to help restore the wildlife in Dry Creek. 

Tomorrow is Fish Day from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

Celebrating all things fishy, they are starting the afternoon with a personal tour of the fish hatchery at Lake Sonoma with Ranger Michael Carroll to meet spawning steelhead trout face to face. Following the tour everyone will head back to Michel-Schlumberger for a walk, talk and sip with Winemaker Mike Brunson and Elliott Doss of California Fish and Game along fish friendly and recently restored Wine Creek. Finally, a personal tasting of Mike’s favorite wines will be in the Cellar.

Event price is $20. A portion of Fish Day proceeds goes to The Friends of Lake Sonoma – a non-profit organization whose purpose is to serve and support the interpretive and visitor service programs at Lake Sonoma.

Make sure to call the winery to reserve your seat!  707-433-7427
