Last Friday, the YWCA Sonoma County raised about $450-thousand dollars to help survivors of domestic violence at their fundraiser called “Gather 2024: Women, Wine, Chefs and Cheese.” It was hosted at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa in Sonoma. Mary Dewane of Benovia Winery was the Honorary Woman in Wine and Liza Hinman of The Spinster Sisters restaurant was the honorary Chef. Overall, 21 local winemakers hosted tables at the fundraiser, each sharing nine bottles of wine, as well as a magnum for an auction lot.
