She stops by to talk about what's happening at the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art, diRosa Center for Contemporary Art, wineries like Muscardini Cellars and all the live music venues like Hopmonk Sonoma and B&V Whiskey Bar & Grille.

- Hi!  Visiting Sonoma area (from the East Coast) for the first time next month, staying in Kenwood.    We’ll have 2 days to explore Sonoma & Napa and want to make the most of it.  How many wineries should we realistically expect to visit in a day?  Any must-sees/dos?  Are drivers/transportation an easy option?  We like Chardonnays, Cabs & Zinfandels, open to others.  Thank you! (via Facebook)

- How long does it take to get wine from a newly planted grapevine?
