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.
