Music, Marines, & FREE Wine Tasting in Sonoma Valley
With splashes of blazing fall color as a backdrop, Sonoma Valley events this weekend include music, Marines, and a FREE wine tasting opportunity. In the spirit of full disclosure, the free wine tastings are offered by a select group of wineries to guests who stay at Sonoma Valley Bed and Breakfast inns. The Sonoma B&B Association's website has the details. Allow me to provide a little advice here. For reservations you need to check with each individual B&B because the association's reservation calendar is NOT up to date.
Friday November 5, 2010 is the 25th Annual Wine Country Marine's Birthday Ball at Jacuzzi Family Vineyards. Tickets are $125. Attire for men is "black tie or best uniform" and ladies attire should "match" (not sure what that means. I wonder whether my tux would get me in?) For reservations and information call 707.537.8576. This is a fund-raiser as well as a patriotic celebration. Money raised goes to the Semper Fi Fund, which provides financial help to Marines who are wounded in training or combat.
There's plenty of music in Sonoma and Cat Smith of the Sonoma Valley Sun has the rundown. If you want to work off that Halloween candy I suggest the Little Switzerland, a beer garden and dance hall that my great grandparents were fond of back in the 1920's and '30's.
