What an incredible time in Sonoma with the amazing team of Boisset Wine Living Ambassadors! We stayed at the historic Sonoma Mission Inn and spent our 2.5 days being energized, motivated, and inspired by Jean-Charles Boisset, Karen MacNeil- author of the Wine Bible, and Nicki Keohohou- motivational speaker.
We spent our evenings at two of the wineries in the Boisset Collection- Raymond and Buena Vista- the oldest commercial winery in California! A visit to DeLoach on Tuesday afternoon concluded the official retreat. A few of us took advantage of the beautiful weather and headed up to Iron Horse for a tasting before heading back to San Francisco and home.
I have too many pictures to share, but am including a few from my trip.
My flight actually arrived in San Francisco early, so I took advantage of the time and stopped on the way to Sonoma for a visit to Jacuzzi Winery- what a smart move on my part! Love their vineyards and their wines.

Meeting the man behind the vision of the ambassador group was truly an amazing experience. Merci Jean-Charles pour votre vision, votre enthousiasme!
