Wine, music, and food unite to raise money for the Mayacamas Volunteer Fire Department at Sonoma celebration on October 9, 2022.
October 6th – You can party with wild abandon because it’s for a good cause when legendary organic vintner Phil Coturri celebrates his 70th birthday this Sunday, with plenty of wine, food, and music. The wine comes from Coturri’s own Winery Sixteen600 and the food from Sonoma favorite Valley Bar+Bottle.
“We wanted to throw my Dad a really memorable party for his 70th” says Phil’s son Sam Coturri. “He agreed, but only if we did it as a fundraiser for the Mayacamas Volunteer Fire Department. They’ve always been there for us when emergencies happen, so this is a way for us to repay their efforts and put the profits from the party toward helping them get a new truck.”
Headlining the music is the legendary David Nelson Band. Long-time cohorts of various satellites in the Grateful Dead orbit, the band’s been playing together since 1994 and will set the perfect vibe for the evening. Opening the show will be local band State Fair, a new project co-founded by Tanner Walle, proprietor of Valley Bar + Bottle.
The fun commences at 4 PM, Sunday, October 9th at 1700 Denmark Street, Sonoma, CA.
Tickets are $125 per person — the price includes a flight of wine from Coturri’s own Winery Sixteen600 and your first order of food from, Valley Bar + Bottle. Tickets can be purchased online at Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/vinyl-sunday-presents-the-david-nelson-band-state-fair-tickets-410681819377
