Make plans now to join Edible Monterey Bay and celebrate the release of our new fall issue at two not-to-be-missed special events. It’s our 3rd anniversary and we’re holding two release parties in less visited parts of our coverage area this time, to give readers a chance to discover some of the attractions right here in our own backyard. They’re on different dates and they’re free, so plan to attend both! RSVP by TUESDAY to win great prizes info@ediblemontereybay.com
On September 3 from 5:30-7:30pm join us in sunny Carmel Valley on the European-style courtyard of Twisted Roots tasting room. We’ll have an array of complimentary appetizers by Wild Thyme catering and you can enjoy Twisted Roots wines for just $5 a glass with owners Josh and Julie Ruiz. Carmel Valley is just 15 minutes drive east of Carmel and it’s full of charming shops and excellent restaurants, so be sure to plan to come out early for some exploring and stay for dinner after the party. Twisted Roots is a family owned winery specializing in old vine zinfandel from their estate vineyard in Lodi, as well as Chablis-style chardonnay. Their tasting room inside an antique shop is great for browsing. RSVPs are not required, but if you let us know you’re coming by Sept 2, you will be entered in a prize drawing at the party.

Then on September 5 from 5:30-8pm we’ll be on the patio at the beautiful San Juan Oaks Country Club in Hollister for a fun evening with our friends from the San Benito Olive Festival. There will be complimentary appetizers and wine for sale by the glass from the county’s best vintners, including Calera, DeRose, Pietra Santa, Leal and Teague. You’ll also enjoy fine tunes from the ladies of Boulder Creek bluegrass band Sugar by the Pound. It’s a pleasant drive just 25 minutes from Watsonville or Salinas and 50 minutes from Santa Cruz or
Monterey and everyone is welcome, but if you RSVP by Sept 2 you’ll be entered to win prizes that include free rounds of golf, Marich Chocolates, olive oils from Sons of Sicily, Oils of Paicines and Brigantino, HazMat Hot Sauce and a basket of relaxing spa products.
