The close-knit community in Anderson Valley has even more cohesive groups within the wine business. One night a month, a different winery hosts a gathering of those who make their living in wine. Some are tasting room hospitality experts, others manage the vintners association, and one has the coolest title ever: “Keeper of the Wine.”

It is an amazing opportunity to try what neighboring wineries are doing. It’s also proof that those who know wine also know food. Check out the delicious delectable that were so good you cannot even call it a “potluck.”
