"Of course, size matters. No one wants a small glass of wine!" The weekend's Equality Wine Fest gives way to one of my favorite summer events - Gay Wine Weekend. I make my annual pilgrimage to Sonoma County each July and have done so for over a decade. Even during COVID, we did a masked virtual GWW from studios outside of Santa Rosa. The photo shown is with founder Gary Saperstein from the Zoom video we did that weekend in 2020. After the weekend's Wine Fest here in Palm Springs, i turn my sites to a lazy July weekend in one of the most beautiful parts of our state.
