Premiere Sonoma?

[Zinner]

Sonoma has at least a couple of main auctions. In the summer(July perhaps), Sonoma County does a Showcase and Auction that is quite wonderful for the food, as well as the wine that it presents. I didn't get to go last year, but in previous years, the San Francisco symphony played with a picnic on the lawn at Sonoma Cutrer to end it.

And Sonoma Valley does an auction that bills itself as sort of the anti-Napa auction. They present it as the less stuffy, more funny alternative(one of the Smothers brothers is a vintner there). It's usually over Labor Day weekend.

If you're interested, I could probably find out more.
