The Eastside Bunch, Russian River Valley
I recently set sail with the Eastside Bunch, RRV, on their Eastside Wine Regatta, a wine & seafood extravaganza, with an altruistic goal of also raising funds for the Save the Bay Organization (since 1961) with a portion of tickets and wine sales going to such a worthy cause- and also celebrating the Bay Area connection to the America’s Cup Race.
My Eastside Wine Regatta Dock Pass.
A number of Wine Road member wineries are participants in the Regatta- and I fell under their siren song this past Saturday:
First stop: Merriam Vineyards:
Model size….
Regulation size….
Merriam’s Skipper, Robert Conard, and Crew Tara-The-Gracious, launch the party.
Sailing up the road, I land at Limerick Lane:
Weighing anchor, I am off to Rodney Strong Winery- but before I set sail, I notice some veraison in the vineyards and some lovely shots of the hills behind Limerick Lane:
I have now cast off and floated:
Cool new furniture groupings along the Self-Guided Tour…comfy!
Casting off, I set sail to Acorn Winery/Alegria Vineyards:
Interesting things in the vineyard….
The ONLY Lamborghini that will ever be owned by Bill Nachbaur….
Good alternative use of barrel staves!
