Come take a few rounds on the diurnal swing - it's hot during the day, it's cool at night; harvest action is ripping along at a frenetic pace, and the Valley is abuzz with activity! What can calm us down?

A kitten. Or a puppy.

So Jody Purdom from Pet's Lifeline is on the podcast this week talking about how to adopt a pet in Sonoma Valley, the important work of Pet's Lifeline providing shelter, adoption and medical care services for the kitties and pups of wine country. Did you know that Sonoma was recently noted as being a "Better City For Pets?" Now you do.

We also hear about Jody's formative years in New Jersey and her theory on why the bagels are better back east, hence why she smuggles suitcases of bagels back to Sonoma when she visits her old stomping grounds.

And every week our podcast guests answer YOUR questions about wine country and visiting Sonoma.

Are the leaves in the vineyard pretty in fall? 

What’s the weather like in Sonoma in January?

Need recommendations for dog-friendly breakfast, brunch, or bakery spots? Preferably with nice outdoor seating. 

We are staying in Sonoma - Where should we visit for nightlife? And live music? And cocktails?

Traveling to Sonoma soon and can’t decide on a place to stay (so many) that would be convenient for both a visit to Sonoma and Napa wineries. Appreciate your recommendations.
