Restaurant of the Month Brasserie

wgreen — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 19:06:53 +0000

One of my favorite Santa Rosa restaurants is the Brasserie at the Hyatt Vineyard Creek. They have great breakfast, lunch, and dinner at this wonderful establishment, and each meal is more delicious than the last. I love to go out for a Sunday brunch and my favorite breakfast item to order is the Dungeness Crab Cake Benedict. It is absolute heaven! I recommend you check this restaurant out as soon as possible as you will want to continue to go again and again!

This 2009 Old Vine Zin comes from handpicked vines that are 80 years old. The wine is garnet colored with hints of jammy flavored raspberry and red cherry. This is a fabulous wine for either sitting around drinking on it’s own or pairing with a hearty meal. This is our top wine of the month for January and we hope you all enjoy it too.

Save Annadel

wgreen — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 00:15:40 +0000

Do you love the outdoors? Love everything that Sonoma County has to offer the outdoor enthusiast? Annadel State Park has so much to offer anyone wanting to get out and enjoy the great outdoors! Annadel State Park is the perfect setting for anyone interested in mountain biking, it offers a great trail system with over 35 miles of trails to ride, and also offers some of the best hikes in the county Unfortunately Annadel is on the list of state parks that are set to be closed down. But, there is a lot you can do to help keep Annadel open. Here are a few of our suggestions:

Check out Third Street Ale Works and Brewery where you can drink some of their tasty Annadel Pale Ale, and even purchase a Save Annadel t-shirt. The proceeds of these sales will be donated to the Parks Alliance.
Participate in the Third Annual Annadel Half Marathon, a fundraiser supporting the state park.
Buy an annual pass to the state parks from the California State Parks Foundation
Donate now and VeloStreet will match every dollar donated up to $15,000. Check them out here
Purchase a Sonoma County Regional Parks membership for yourself or a membership gift card for a friend
Make a donation to the Sonoma County Regional Parks Foundation, which has a special fund established to support ongoing operations at Annadel.
Participate in the Annadel XC Race. A portion of the registration fees go directly to helping keep Annadel Sate Park open. You can also read a bit more information about last years race here in which $27,000 was raised to help save state parks!

For more information visit the Save Our State Parks website and the Annadel State Park website.

Let us know if you know of any other ways to help save our state parks, and we would be happy to share them too!
