I AM DONATING A PERCENTAGE OF MY SALES TO THE NAPA/SONOMA FIRE RELIEF FUND!

Dear Friends,

It is with profound sadness that I write this to you. I know that all of you have been following the massive fires that have hit us here in California, and my beloved Wine Country. This is as bad as we have ever seen, and it is not done yet.  While I am writing this, I just heard that tonight the winds will pick up again, and the humidity is dropping, so more chance that the fire will spread – let’s hope not!

Tragically, many wineries, restaurants, and other businesses have suffered losses, some total.

Today I am starting a GOFUNDME Fire Relief donation campaign.

Donations will be sent to the to the Napa Valley Community Foundation.
Starting today until Friday 10/9 I will donate 5% of my sales
to the relief effort as well.
Donations may also be made to the Sonoma County Resilience Fund at:
