“The Good Stuff” with Sonoma County Winegrowers on KSRO 103.5 & 96.9FM / 1350AM is Sonoma County’s newest talk show for all things wine, vineyards and farming. Hosted by Virginie Boone, long-time wine critic and writer, who brings her wealth of knowledge, hands-on experience and behind-the-scenes access to the Sonoma County wine industry, it will also feature Co-Host Karissa Kruse, President & CEO of Sonoma County Winegrowers.
