Get a taste of Sonoma County without having to hit the road at the SONOMA IN THE CITY events. On July 12th the Grand Tasting at the Westin St. Francis aims to be the largest tasting of Sonoma County wines outside of Sonoma with over 350 wines, while on Thursday July 14th your very own tablehopper will be at the Forks & Corks event (food trucks and wine pairings!) making restaurant recos and handing out free copies of The Tablehopper’s Guide to Dining and Drinking in San Francisco to the first 200 attendees!
That’s right, on Thursday July 14th from 5:30pm-8:30pm, hit up Forks & Corks at the Fort Mason Firehouse to score five dishes from five SF food trucks—An the Go, Brass Knuckle, El Porteño Empanadas, JapaCurry, and The Crème Brûlée Cart—and tastes of up to 80 wines from 30 Sonoma wineries. Yours truly will be in attendance to sign books—free copies to the first 200 attendees only!—and to help out diners in need with restaurant recommendations. Tickets to Forks & Corks are $55 online, $65 door, but you can use the code SPECIAL for $15 off now! That means you’ll get fab food, drink, and the tablehopper book (a $17.36 value) for $40. What a deal!
