Host Jeff Woodworth talks with Angela Struckman, Director of the Sonoma County Human Services Department, about the new "Open Doors" campaign the county has recently rolled out.

The Open Doors Resource Guide is an initiative designed to improve residents' access to food, housing, healthcare, employment, child care and other services everyone needs to thrive.

In this episode of The Good Stuff presented by the Sonoma County Winegrowers, hosts Virginie Boone and Karissa Kruse talk to Jenifer Freebairn, VP of Marketing & Sales at Lasseter Family Winery.

Jenifer’s love of wine was sparked and nurtured in her hometown of Los Angeles where she spent her post-university years composing, recording and performing music, while being mentored by top sommeliers over the course of many years in restaurant service and management. Her move to Sebastopol in 2002 made for an auspicious first harvest and full immersion into global marketing, sales, operations, and production at Paul Hobbs Wines where she spent the next twelve years.

Her additional leadership roles include Kosta Browne Wine, Grgich Hills Cellars, and others as a consultant. She continues to compose and perform, is a member of Les Dames d’Escoffier International, and serves on the Wine Institute Board of Directors.

Nancy and John Lasseter’s shared love of wine led them to Sonoma Valley in 1993, where friendship with local vintners sparked a passion for winemaking. When they discovered a historic Glen Ellen winery once home to early French winemakers, they found the perfect place to bring their dream to life. Since then, the Lasseters have restored the estate with a deep commitment to sustainability—transitioning to organic farming, nurturing biodiversity with beehives and owl boxes, and building an environmentally sensitive production facility. Inspired by their travels through France, Lasseter Family Winery crafts Rhône- and Bordeaux-style blends that reflect the unique terroir of Sonoma Valley, alongside estate-grown honey, herbs, and olive oil from their Heirloom Farms.

And finally, Virginie and Karissa share their Tuesday Night wine picks!
