Sonoma County Focus – Canine Companions
Host Michelle Marques talks with Michelle Williams, Public Relations and Marketing Specialist, Northwest Region for Canine Companions. Canine Companions started in Sonoma County in the 1970s and is now the largest service dog training organization in the country. Dogs are trained basically from birth starting with puppies bred for the right temperament and skills to be effective service dogs to children, adults and veterans. Volunteers act as puppy raisers, getting young puppies ready to enter professional training. Canine Companions provides dogs to clients at no charge, and therefore they rely on donations and volunteers to keep their organization going! You can help today by getting an adorable 2024 Puppy Calendar (they make great gifts!) or you can sponsor a puppy for $240 (or just $10 per month for two years.) There is also an event this weekend called SANTA PAWS at Western Farm Center in Santa Rosa where you can get a digital picture of your pet with Santa for just $25. Western Farm Center is located at 21 West 7th Street in Santa Rosa. Come by on Saturday, December 2nd from 10am to 4pm and Sunday, December 3rd from 10am to 3pm. Learn more at canine.org

ROCK’nVINO – No Love Lost Wine Co.
Hosts Michelle and Coco talk with Jay Nunez, founder and winemaker at No Love Lost Wine Co. Jay makes sustainable, natural wines, and is inspired by the unknown, challenging himself to make wines with intrigue and a unique spirit. He also wants to make approachable wines that can be enjoyed by anyone, not just the high end cab connoisseur. We chat with Jay about his tasting room in downtown Napa, and talk about how his former career in music and sound engineering helps to inform his winemaking. He also loves to cook and has worked with a neighboring business to add some delicious sandwiches to the offering at his tasting room. Visit the tasting room at 960 Clinton Street in Napa, or buy his wine online at nolovelost.wine
