Spring Fling 2018

Russian River Chamber of Commerce started this Annual Event in 2015 which is a wonderful showing of local Wine & Restaurants. Only in it's 3rd year, it is appearing to be a great success and favorite event for many local's coming from near and far.


             The Entrance with a beautiful blue sky although we did get a some April showers.

                                   Our awesome Front Entrance team, welcoming guests...

                   
                   Nothing happens here without ALOT of volunteers helping. Wrist bands anyone.


We had a local food writer, Michele Anna Jordan selling her cookbooks and she hosted a VIP early entrance tour of the Vendors.
 



The walk around the perimeter was set up alphabetically so we'll start with Agriculture Public House.
           
                  Chicken meatball slider with parmesan cream sauce. Where's the Chardonnay?



                        Here's the Chardonnay on ice, from Boheme Winery in Occidental.


And next up our local market which features Biscuits plus so much more.....



Wine from our new Tasting Room on the strip, Equality Vines.


We're getting a treat from this local producer that doesn't have a Tasting Room yet,
coming in 2019 we hope.



New to the scene

             
            Super treat, local bubbles since 1883 I believe. This is a beautiful property to visit.

 Seaside Metal Oysters with your Bubbles.
 We like the fact that some of our local wine club members joined in the festivities today.


And we had local talent 'The Thugz' performing.



 Hiding from the 5 minute rain that snuck up on us and Thankfully went away and the sun came out.

 
Pat's Restaurant made a great appearance with their KFC, Korean Fired Chicken. Although currently closed for some remodeling, the reopening will be anticipated by locals for this favorite treat. And the history of Pat's Restaurant goes back along way
 
 

 
Our neighbor up the street Redcar Winery.
 
 Fairly new to the neighborhood, Scoop of Sonoma, ice cream, yes please.
This is a popular stop rain or shine

There was so much more to this great Event Spring Fling. El Barrio tacos, Cape Fear shrimp and grits, Twist Eatery smoked salmon cheesecake, Main Street Pizza. Woodenhead wines, Sheldon, Moshin Winery, Landmark wines, Fort Ross Winery and yes Paul Mathew was pouring three wines.

Look for this event in 2019, it's bound to get better each year!
