An email from Meghan Smith, of Sonoma County Vintners (SCV), warrants attention. She made me aware of the Sonoma County Showcase Weekend of Wine and Food, taking place July 12-15, 2007. SCV represents the premium winemakers and vintners of Sonoma County, building awareness of its quality appellations and wines. For the 28th year in a row, Showcase is an epicurean festival putting all that Sonoma County has to offer in the way of food & wine on display to visitors while simultaneously benefiting local charities.
Some of the charities benefited include:
- Redwood Empire Food Bank
- Boys & Girls Clubs of Cloverdale, Healdsburg, Petaluma, and Windsor
- Santa Rosa Junior College Foundation
Whether you are looking for a long weekend event, a two day event, or a one day adventure, Showcase has many different happenings to take advantage of from wine seminars, to lunches, to vineyard tours, to cooking demonstrations. As stated in Meghan's and SCV's own words:
Don't miss the 28th annual Sonoma County Showcase Weekend of Wine & Food, the ultimate Wine Country experience, held July 12-15. This gala event features four days of fantastic wine and food presented by world-renowned winemakers and Sonoma's top chefs. Indulge in exclusive all-access luxury packages of spa, golf, and wine safari experiences, or enjoy events a la carte, including private winery lunches and dinners, an extraordinary Sonoma Family Style gala dinner, and Taste of Sonoma, a two day grand tasting with over 100 wineries, 50 chefs, wine seminars, chef competitions, and more.

I plan on being there, I hope you do too!
