chance to try some of the most distinctive<br />
wines being made in the Russian River Valley.<br />
<strong>Wine</strong>makers and growers will be there to<br />
pour and answer questions, and DJ Sol will<br />
be spinning grooves all night.<br />
Unique silent auction items will also be<br />
on display to benefit the Russian River Valley<br />
<strong>Wine</strong>growers and their work to preserve the<br />
region’s agriculture legacy through marketing<br />
and education.<br />
