SONOMA features women of wine, Sherpas

The fall issue of SONOMA magazine hits newsstands nationwide today, featuring a focus on "Women of Wine" and the intersection of East and West in Sonoma, with a special look at Sherpas in the Valley.

Featured on the cover is Ellie Phipps Price, proprietor of the revered Durell Ranch vineyards and the new Dunstan label.

The annual wine issue also includes a detailed winery guide, columns by Jan Wahl, Daedalus Howell and Kathleen Hill, a Grab Bag feature on more wine toys, and a sit-down talk with Sojourn co-founder Craig Hasserot on how he scores so many 90 point wines.

Other stories include a profile of Sonoma's many-faceted Beach Blanket diva Ellen Toscano, an update on "Bachelor" winemaker Ben Flajnik and previews of four red-hot wines, including Ben's now-famous Evolve sauvignon blanc.

SONOMA is available locally at The Sonoma Index-Tribune, Bookends, the Sonoma Valley Visitors Bureau, Pharmica, Sonoma and Glen Ellen Markets, Readers' Books, the Charles Creek Tasting Room, Plaza Liquors and at Sonoma Valley hotels and inns, as well as in numerous luxury lodgings and more than 150 retail locations around the Bay Area and 1,100 outlets, including major bookstores, around the nation.
