Social event 2008
We are happy to announce our first social event of 2008:
After a 2.5 hour guided Discovery Tour of the Di Rosa Preserve in Napa, well known for one of the largest collections of contemporary San Francisco Bay Area art in the nation with over 2,200 pieces of art by over 900 regional artists, (www.dirosapreserve.org), we will take a short ten minute drive to the Starmont Winery, owned by the Schlatter Family of Switzerland, where you will get a short tour by their winemaking staff discussing sustainable farming, tour the winery that is powered by solar energy and taste some of their award winning wines. A rustic lunch and more wine will be served immediately following the tour. The Schlatter Family agreed to make a special offer for some wines that you will taste at their Starmont winery. Learn more about the winery by visiting www.merryvale.com. Reservation details will follow. (This will initially be a Members-Only event and be made available to non-members if space permits.)
