It’s been a while since we’ve been home for a weekend. Time has flown lately and only a whisp of summer is left. We’ve had visitors, family trips, vacations, work trips, nap training, nap jail, sleeping through the night at last!! It’s been a whirlwind to say the least. But this past Sunday was one … Continue reading »

VINEYARD PHOTO SHOOT
A few weeks ago, we attended a free KRSH concert at Kunde Winery where Brett Dennen was playing. We gathered up a few friends, packed a picnic, secured the last shady spot in the area and opened some Kunde Sauvignon Blanc, while grooving to tunes and letting the wee ones crawl all around. It was … Continue reading »
MOO-COW GOODNESS
Nothing quite says Sonoma County grown like Cowgirl Creamery Cheese. Artisanal and organic creamy goodness, it pretty much exemplifies all the things we love about Sonoma County. I first fell in love with this brand years ago at a fancy wine auction in Napa. Part of a multi-course meal, their Mt. Tam cheese was the … Continue reading »
PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE HORSES
I drive by these guys every week. I’m secretly in love with them. They frolick in a large open field which is nestled between vineyards on Hwy 116, right outside of Sonoma (near E. Bonness Rd). In fact, I’ve been wanting to take their photos for 2 years now but could never quite coordinate it … Continue reading »
HAPPY HARVEST SONOMA
If you have the time and the pleasure, do yourself a favor in the next week or two, and wake up a little earlier than perhaps is your usual. Grab a steaming latte (or other caffeinated beverage of your choice), jump in the car and head out to your favorite winding back road in Sonoma … Continue reading »
FLOWERS WINERY LUNCHEON
This weekend I had the distinct pleasure of visiting Flowers Winery out on the Sonoma coast for a tasting, tour and afternoon luncheon. The invite came through some friends and we gathered up a group of 5 for a most excellent day. Warm, sunny weather (a bonus out on the NorCal coast), great Pinot Noir … Continue reading »
BOUNTY OF PHOTOS: PETALUMA FARMERS MARKET
Hello Petaluma Farmer’s market! Good-bye Petaluma Farmer’s market. Our time together was good, but oh so fleeting. I was able to (finally) make the Wednesday night farmer’s market in Petaluma this last week. My first of the season, their last of the season. *Le sigh* I must clearly work on my timing next year. Those … Continue reading »
RADIO ISN’T DEAD: THE KRSH
Every good adventure needs a soundtrack. And every good Sonoma County adventure should have that soundtrack be The KRSH (pronounced ‘crush’), the local Sonoman wine country radio station found at 95.9FM. You might have already noticed a link to The KRSH over yonder under ‘Stalk-Worthy Sites’. And it’s true. I love to stalk The KRSH. … Continue reading »
HIDDEN GEM: THE LAST RECORD STORE
Exit stage left: sterile & fluorescent-lit aisles of Best Buy. Enter stage right: your old memories of that elusive, near-extinct institution – the independent music store. Located in Santa Rosa on Mendocino Avenue (near Santa Rosa Junior College to be exact), the Last Record Store was founded in 1983 (January 15 to be even more … Continue reading »
COWGIRL CREAMERY TOURS
Bring on the Cow! Bring on the Cheese! Now here is something I’ve been craving to do for some time now. That whole job thing just seems to be getting in the way of a random Wednesday tour. Go figure. But if you can swing it, be sure to check out Cowgirl Creamery’s Petaluma tour … Continue reading »
