In the Mood for Sonoma with #WinePW

The Wine Pairing Weekend group (#WinePW) has turned our focus to the winemakers, grape growers, and wine industry pros in Sonoma County, California. Look for our posts and social media shares with the hashtag #SonomaStrong to raise awareness of fire relief efforts throughout Sonoma. Groups such as Sonoma Valley Rotary Foundation, have led the way with this hashtag, and we use the spirit of giving, community, and collaboration to guide our posts and collective voices.

Wine Pairing Weekend

Look for these articles and then join us on Twitter at 10 am CST on Saturday, January 13th. Look for the #WinePW hashtag as well as #SonomaStrong. Our posts feature Sonoma wines, paired with some of our favorite dishes. We uncover stories, history, current events, travel ideas, and opportunities to reveal Sonoma and let readers know how they can help, simply by purchasing wine or visiting wine country. Reliable conduits for donations will also be shared, as many of our writers are part of the local community in Sonoma.
