A Wine & Food Affair Save the date, May 8th....Participants Meeting
If you are considering participating in A Wine & Food Affair, Nov. 2-3, we'd like you to attend a planning meeting May 8th, at 9:00am or 3:00pm at Seghesio Winery. RSVP here. We have already begun reaching out to wineries one at a time and connecting them with our consultant, Clark Wolf, Clark is on board to help you fine-tune your ideas and or connect you with chefs to help you pair something memorable. We want to help every winery WOW their visitors.
We are getting an early jump on this event, to make it a world-class wine and food experience for our guests. We want to showcase all that Sonoma has to offer, with our chefs, farmers, and winemakers all working hand in hand.

Volunteers Needed
The REFB is holding their biggest food collection drive of the year in May, called Stamp Out Hunger. On May 11th, they are looking for 50 volunteers to sort collected food (soup, beans, sauce, pasta etc). They are scheduling volunteers from 4:00-8:00pm. I am hoping we can fill ALL 50 of the spots. Even if you can't make it, share the link with family, friends, neighbors - let's make this happen! This link is for Wine Road - sign up for a 2-hour shift, bring your family.
