The Heart of Sonoma Valley Association (HOSVA) is putting tickets on sale for its premier event of the year: the 23rd annual Savor Sonoma Valley, happening Saturday and Sunday, March 16 and 17, from 11 to 4 p.m. daily. Twenty-one wineries throughout the Valley will be showcasing the 2012 vintage straight from the barrels, sampling new releases and offering award-winning wines paired with scrumptious food prepared by local chefs and restaurants.

  Meet winemakers, taste reserve wines, sample barrel wines, mingle with wine lovers in caves and on crush pads, enjoy live music, tour wineries and vineyards and savor a true Wine Country weekend.  Most importantly, this event offers guests the chance to take an advance look at what the 2012 vintage is going to be like in bottle.
