Sonoma County Focus – Redwood Empire Food Bank – Urgent Call for Donations

Host Michelle Marques talks with David Goodman, Hunger Relief Worker and CEO of the Redwood Empire Food Bank. Normally, the holiday season is the time of year that REFB collects the largest amount of donations during the entire year, but unfortunately, this year donations are down by $1-million dollars. This is devastating and could result in two unthinkable choices: give everyone less food, or turn people away. Don't wait! Please donate money, food, and volunteer your time to help the food bank. Learn more by going to refb.org.
At the Table – The Redwood
Host Clark Wolf talks with Geneva Melby and Ryan Miller of The Redwood, an extraordinarily good natural wine bar in Sebastopol. Alum of Ramen Gaijin and Khom Loi, the pair focus on a small menu filled with simple, extremely delicious dishes like their ethereal fried potatoes with pimenton aoli, little gem salad with pickled celery and seeds, and braised lamb shank. The wine menu is also short but filled with food friendly choices that pair perfectly with the food options. They also host events and special dinners, and can cater your next gathering.

The Good Stuff – Scott Beattie of Barn Diva
In this episode of The Good Stuff presented by the Sonoma County Winegrowers, hosts Virginie Boone and Karissa Kruse talk with Scott Beattie, author of Artisinal Cocktails. Scott shares the details of how he got interested in using fresh ingredients in cocktails and using chef techniques to create truly delicious drinks. We learn about his background working at Cyrus, and where he is currently creating delicious beverages at Barn Diva. You can learn to create cocktails with fresh ingredients by taking a class at Barn Diva! In the final minutes of the show, Scott wows us by whipping up three amazing cocktails. And finally, Virginie and Karissa share their Tuesday Night wine (and cocktail!) picks.
At the Table – Wind and Rye Kitchen
Host Clark Wolf talks with Laci Sandoval, founder and owner of Wind and Rye Kitchen, a cooking school and event venue in Penngrove. Laci shares her path to creating this inviting space where students get a chance to do hands on cooking, and a rotating cast of chefs and bakers teach curious students in all sorts of cooking techniques. One of the frequent chef instructors is Daniel Kedan, formerly of the beloved Backyard Restaurant in Forestville. Chef Kedan now teaches at the Culinary Institute of America, and he talks with Clark about his upcoming courses at Wind and Rye.
Laci is also hosting a Bakery Day on Saturday, December 16th from noon until 4pm, or until the goods are sold out.
