99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall

For those of you who didn’t know, the Lagunitas IPA you’ve been drinking is manufactured in our little town of Petaluma. Yep, right here just down from our Quality Inn about a block or so. And they’ve just opened  their TapRoom and Beer Sanctuary, closed Monday and Tuesday, with live music. So forget about winetasting too foo foo, come check-out the brewskis, take a tour, have a bite to eat. Yo ho ho and a bottle of Pale Ale. . .

Music is the Spice of Life

Our little town of Petaluma is really lucky to have Cinnabar Theater as our own little slice of the cultural pie. Starting in August will be their Summer Music Festival and all cultures of music will be showcased, an Italian orchestra, Taiko drumming, jazz singing.  It’ll be San Francisco without the parking problem. www. cinnabar.2009-petaluma.summer.music.festival.htm

Port in the Sonoma Wine Country

I love to read my Sunday SF Chronicle all spread out on the kitchen table, me in my jammies while slowly eating my nutritional breakfast. Anyway, this last weekend in the Pink Section there was a great article on a little known winery in Petaluma that specializes in port wines. They are located in the little cozy Petaluma Foundry Wharf where they do tastings, and in the future they will be doing dessert pairings. I’ve included the link to the article below.  Its one reason to plan a visit up to our area.
