We recorded 3 new podcasts. These included Alice Hunter from Marimar Torres Estate, talking about not only the winery but all of the things there are to see and do in Sebastopol. Brad Calkins from Visit Santa Rosa, shared his favorite haunts and what guests can see and do in Santa Rosa. Our 3rd episode was with John Viszlay from Viszlay Vineyards sharing what's new at the winery, what to do and where to eat in Windsor. These are episode 76, 77 & 78. We've been at this for over two years and have now been nominated for another Taste Award.
