The 2017 Sonoma Barrel Auction was a resounding success by raising a record $794,500. We recorded short interviews in three parts with over 30 winemakers during the tasting events. Sonoma County grows a wide variety of grapes and winemakers were proud to show their very best featuring “never before, never again” wines.  Our video of the Auction will go online later this week.  Photos by Jeanette Hrnyak.

Rutherford native Steve Tonella is one of those winemakers that wine lovers seek out for their small production levels and high quality wines. When you make only a thousand cases, your family has over 100 years in the business and your name is on the label, quality is everything. We interviewed Steve at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley during the Premiere Napa Valley auction…and if you listen closley, you’ll hear the auction as it happened in the background.
