Taste of Sonoma 2009 March 21, 2009

---

We are pleased to host this year's endeavor to The 2009 Savor Sonoma Valley weekend, a two-day barrel tasting and culinary experience at 18 wineries. If you've been before, you know the experience is one of the year's Not-to-Be-Missed events. If you havent been before, count your lucky stars you were invited and book your spot today!We begin at the Flaming-O Conference Resort and Spa, in bustling Santa Rosa. In the parking lot. Tailgating like a bunch of delirious 49er fans. Were bringing the bagels, red travel cups, and the ice. Youre bringing your other necessary supplies. You should meet us there somewhere between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Saturday morning, March 21, 2009. Dont be later than 10.
Then, we embark on our party buses. We head off to our first stop, Kunde Estates Winery. There, youll pick up your PRE-PAID wristband and wine glass and tour this winery, the first of six vineyards that day.
After wine-tasting, the fun continues in the hot tubs at the Flaming-O Conference Resort and Spa where youve booked your room for the night at a special discount rate. Weve managed to twist their arm and get the same low rate as last year! The low price of $99 will get you a Deluxe King room and $119 will get you an Executive King. Suites are available for a special price, too.
After the hot tubs, were off to dinner to continue the fun and after getting thrown out of the restaurant, we head back to the Flaming-Os Lounge for live music and Santa Rosas best dance party all year!
On Sunday, the winery tours are less structured and there is NO BUS.
We are excited to see you and look forward to yet another fabulous weekend with the people who have more fun than everyone!
