A VISIT TO
RUSSIAN RIVER VINEYARDS
Thursday, May 11
Please join the Rossmoor Wine and Food Society on Thursday, May 11, for a visit to Russian River Vineyards in Forestville. In 2008, fourth generation farmer and aspiring winemaker Giovanni Balistreri, set out to reclaim the rich history and enormous un-tapped potential of one of Sonoma County’s finest wine-making estates. The estate lies in the heart of the Russian River Valley and thus proudly and appropriately bears the Russian River Valley appellation. It is now one of the world’s greatest winemaking regions, although often overshadowed by the more celebrated Napa Valley by the world of wine enthusiasts, true devotees of wine are very familiar with the magic of this valley.
Our afternoon will begin with four wines followed by a plated family style lunch.
Lunch will be served family style on platters at your table with additional wine and will include:
