This week On The Wine Road -

You'll meet Jim and Akiko Freeman of Freeman Winery. They craft what they love; soulful cool climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Japanese born Akiko didn't intend to be a winemaker but she took to it so naturally it must have been her destiny. As was meeting Jim on a dark and stormy night. You'll have to listen to hear the rest of their story.

They are also members of the West Sonoma Coast Vintners. The organization recently received official AVA distinction. Jim will share details about the new region that members feel is so unique, it needed to be recognized as its own viticultural area.

Tune in at 1:05pm on KSRO 1350/103.5/96.9 in Sonoma and Napa County, or click Listen Live on KSRO.com.

Here are the Facebook pages of the other members of West Sonoma Coast Vintners:

Host Michelle Marques talks with Kayatta Patton, a rapper, poet, producer and educator, about her experience living in Sonoma County as a Black queer woman. Kayatta talks about her love for the Russian River and the peace she found out in the West County, as well as her experience with racism in a mostly white community. She praises some of the local venues for making a place for diverse artists, and acknowledges that there are other performance spaces that need to pull down barriers that keep performers like herself on the sidelines.

Kayatta also talks about her experience with On the Margins, a non-profit made up of health professionals, artists, researchers, and consultants who work to dismantle white-supremacist, heteropatriarchal, cisnormative, mono-normative, and colonial practices as they exist within the classroom, healthcare system, research lab, and larger community.

There is a cost of waiting to consider as well. Let George and his team help you make a plan for success!
