We like to feature regular mom and pop operations that are the mainstay of family dining. Most of these restaurants offer inexpensive well prepared food that fills you up and tastes fabulous! We're not talkin' foo foo here. With one or two exceptions these are casual, friendly family run restaurants that have been in business for years.
Feelin' in the mood for ye good old English style fish & Chips? Try Betty's! Friendly, fast service. Tasty fish, nice batter. Good selection of beer on tap. Homemade pies! 4046 Sonoma Hwy, Santa Rosa 707-539-0899
Sonoma.net
celebrated our 12th anniversary last month. We opened in Healdsburg in July
of 1995 when the web was in its infancy, grey page backgrounds were the norm,
and an image on a page was a novel idea. The web has grown up and so have
we (check out my blog). We are still here to serve the
local community and hope our next 12 years will be as filled with innovation
and excitement as the last 12. Have a happy holiday season.
Healdsburg
downtown streets are blooming for the next few weeks and the clouds of white
and pink blossoms lining the streets put on an impressive display. Old Redwood
Highway near Foppiano's winery is lined with purple leaf plums that are spectacular
this week, and cherries and plums all over the county are once again demonstrating
why this is such a beautiful area. The daffodils are in full flower along
freeways and country roads, and camellias are heavy with pink and red blossoms.
This pre-Spring abundance is glorious.
Everybody has a favorite wine tour story. Rather than regale you with our tales, we'd rather send you out to get your own. We've assembled a short list of some of our favorite wineries. Start with these or make your own list. This is a great time to visit the area to see what spring time in northern California looks like.
30th
Annual Barrel TastingThis crowd favorite has grown to two weekends, March 1 & 2 and 8 & 9, 2008.
For the first time, the organizers will give you the option to buy a ticket in advance, saving yourself some time at check-in. Tickets will go on sale online beginning January 20, 2008. Advance tickets will only be sold online. Wineries will not have advance tickets, nor will they sell them by phone, only online. You can also wait and purchase at the winery door, the weekend of the event. I highly recommend that you mark January 20 in your calendar and put in a reminder to get your tickets.Almost everyone enjoys looking at real estate. We've all got to live somewhere, after all, and looking at property in magazines, online, and in person is fun recreation. These days, resting our eyeballs on a computer screen is as close as many of us will get to moving into a fabulous new house whether it's in a vineyard in Healdsburg or near the town square in Sonoma or walking distance from the restaurants in Railroad Square in Santa Rosa. A new map search tool that makes real estate more fun is produced by a company called RealBird and offered on this site by Healdsburg Sotheby's International Realty. It's loaded with features which can slow the loading time a little, but once you've started searching with a map-based real estate tool, you won't want to go back to the old way. Check out our Santa Rosa Real Estate Search.
