Member Memo - January 28, 2020

Congratulations to
J. Rickards Winery.

Once again, they WON the Winter Wineland décor contest.

This year wineries submitted photos for an album on Facebook and guests voted for their favorite (most likes).

It's fun to see what everyone does to decorate and make it a memorable weekend.

1000 tickets were sold before we even sent out the email blast! Now we've sold 1500.

Let your friends and supporters know if you are participating, start sharing the link. Barrel Tasting 2020. Debbie will be sending out the event "tool kit" this week.

Advance Tickets - $60 Weekend, $45 Sunday Only, $5 Designated Drivers

At the Door Tickets - $75 Weekend, $60 Sunday Only, $10 Drivers

We are no longer providing designated drivers with mugs - in advance or at the door. Too much abuse with folks filling their mugs with wine or other adult beverages! The full price of the DD ticket is a donation to the Redwood Empire Food Bank.

The varietal of the Month

We are looking for the wines we need to write up for April, May, and June. It is best if we only include 6 wines. If YOUR winery has already been featured in our monthly blog review, please do not submit another wine - we really need to share the love. We have 180 winery members, everyone needs the opportunity to showcase their wine. We are looking for April - Grenache, May - Rosé, June - Sangiovese.

We need to keep this hashtag front and center - please use in all of your social posts. In your wine club newsletters, encourage people to share online how they #SipSonoma.
