Breath(e) Media

Greetings from Healdsburg!  Knowing that one of you will be moving to our beautiful ‘lil town soon, I wanted to first, send my congratulations to each of you for making it so far in this social media/wine competition.  It has been fun watching this all to take place and too see what the contest has done to bring wine to the fore-front of the social media world… We bloggers have been big advocates of this for a while now.

Secondly, I would like to let you know a little bit about what you are getting yourself into in Healdsburg, CA.

Yes, this is a job for Murphy Goode and you will be thrown into a world of wine, dice games, vineyards and Sonoma County appellations, but that is just during your work hours….

Unlike that boring valley to the East, Healdsburg (and Sonoma County in general) is actually pretty fun after 5PM.  During the summer there is always music on the square on  Tuesday’s (the entire town comes out to lounge in the town square, drink and socialize with friends) and if you wear your winery shirt, the Bear Republic only charges you $2 for a pint of their infamous Racer 5 or any of their other delicious beers.

…. Or you can always grab a beer with the rest of the winery workers (tasting room, winemakers, vineyard people and anyone else who may be around) at the Dry Creek General Store.

…..Or listen to music and drink some more wine at Michel-Schlumberger Estate every Friday and Bella on the weekends.

After the sun goes down, Barn Diva has dancing and drink specials and Ravenous has live music on the weekends and is home to the best back patio in town (and a damn good mojito).

Basically what I am trying to say is that we locals promise to show you around town.  If you all have a time when visiting here this month, I would love to schedule a tweet-up, that is, if you have a night to yourselves during your live interviews.

If not, I hope you all enjoy your stay here and come back to visit soon!

… And to the one winner…  Myself, and a few locals would like to offer ourselves to show you around!

Thanks and congratulations once again.

(p.s. Another great thing about this town is being able to work from your laptop at one of the many wifi spots in town — My personal favorite is Snowbunny.  Here is a pic of the square that I just took!)
