Looking for a way to ring in Spring in style? Join me at the Healdsburg Wine & Food Experience May 18–21, 2023. This weekend-long celebration highlights the best of Sonoma County culinary offerings, as well as global wine superstars. The festival shines a light on the region’s best from growers to winemakers and chefs. Consumer ticket sales will also support local organizations making a difference in the lives of Sonoma County’s farmers and families.
I will be hosting a sparkling seminar on Friday evening, May 19, entitled “A Timeless Pairing: Champagne & Caviar” with glorious bubbly and mouthwatering caviar. Sunday will be an “Afternoon of Zinfinite Possibilities!” as I lead tastings of wines made with Zinfandel, one of California’s famed red grape varieties. The wines will be paired with live music by guitar phenom, Asher Belsky.
I hope to see you at this wonderful weekend of wine and food. For more information and to purchase full weekend passes or tickets to individual events, check out https://www.healdsburgwineandfood.com/
In the meantime, sample one of Sonoma’s top Zinfandels with this bottling:
2019 Quivira Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California $28 https://quivirawine.com/
A Sonoma County classic, Quivira brings Zinfandel to life with this peppery, dark-fruited red. It’s an elegant Zin made with freshness and finesse in mind. Pour with ribs to complement the spicy/sweetness of barbeque sauce or savor with a saucy red pasta sauce or earthy, spicy lentil stew. Decadently delicious.
