Return of the Mark: Late Night Wine Tasting in Sonoma with Mark Bodenhamer from Sonoma Chamber

Mark Bodenhamer of the Sonoma Valley Chamber of Commerce has good news for all you late-night wine tasters: the new "Friday Night Flights" wine tasting program will make sure you can find a wine tasting room open past 5 pm! And there are even restaurants pairing with them to offer corkage deals. But before we get to that, we have to talk about how proud we are of our kids for graduating high school (very) and try to remember our own high school graduations (go Santa Rosa High Panthers!)

Like all of our podcasts when Mark is on, the conversation then veers to whatever else is on our mind including the Music In Place Sonoma Sundays on the Plaza concerts, the Broadway in Sonoma from Transcendence Theatre Company and the Sonoma Stompers baseball games.

We then try to remember if Carole King is still alive. Is she? Yes? No? Google says...

Full listing of all the events we talk about is at https://www.sonomavalley.com/events

Like all our podcast guests, Mark answers YOUR Sonoma questions:

I saw something called the Old Faithful Geyser is nearby. What is that and where is it?

Which winery has the closest vineyards to the Plaza?

What kind of cheese does Sonoma make?

Best burger to eat with a view?
