Welcome October and Pumpkin Spice everything! Although the weather still seems a bit summery and we send our heartfelt wishes for safety to our Napa County readers, there is a bit of good news. Our 3T Napa Wine Experience event is a go, and museums and gardens are opening. There are more live socially distant events cleverly produced and our fav West Coast Craft is life as well. And a Bay area jeweler is donating to fire relief efforts. And if you need a little focus and clarity, listen into this week’s podcast.


Join Us for an Exclusive Napa Valley Wine Experience

3T wine experience Napa valley

We are excited to virtually take you to Napa Valley to one of their most prestigious vineyards, Grgich Hills Estate. Despite the fires, which we hope will be contained soon, this event is still a go. Your award-winning premium wines for the tasting can be ordered in advance and delivered to your door before the event (ordered by Oct. 14th.) And we will have an exclusive tour and conversation with the winemakers.  GET THE DETAILS.


Museums and Gardens Open to the Public

We need our culture now as an escape and a way to appreciate beauty and creativity and more of them are opening up.

As we reported previously, the De Young is open and now The Asian Art Museum is accepting visitors and offers FREE admission for all – October 3rd – 12th. This museum is so worth a visit and what a great time to go. Current exhibitions include Chanel Miller: I was, I am, I will be and Awaken: A Tibetan Buddhist Journey toward Enlightenment. Awaken is remarkable, if the online version is an indication. You will be guided through mediation, art and an awakening. We can only hope. Of course, safety protocols are in place. www.asianart.com

The Coastal Rep in Half Moon Bay returns with Sorry, Wrong Number, live in their back parking-lot! Opening tonight and running through the 18th, this radio-style play is a mystery thriller; the tale of a neurotic invalid, whose only contact with the outside world is her phone. Over it, one night, because of a crossed wire, she hears plans for a murder. Suspense mounts as we look into the mind of a desperate and helpless woman determined to save an anonymous woman about to be killed. You must bring your own chair and wear a mask throughout the performance and remain seated appropriately spaced out. Book your tickets now, only $15. Support the arts! www.coastalrep.org
