In 2013 I provided music services for two new clients, Matanzas Creek Winery in Sonoma County, and Darcie Kent Vineyards in the Livermore Valley.  I was very fortunate to be invited back by both clients for the 2014 holiday season.

Saturday, December 6th took me to Matanzas Creek in the Bennett Valley of Santa Rosa for their annual holiday event.  I provided a mix of upbeat holiday music along with some 70s/80s/90s tunes in the winery’s cozy hilltop tasting room:

  

The following day on Sunday, December 7th I loaded up the car with my equipment and headed east to the Livermore Valley for Darcie Kent’s holiday gathering.  The tasting room got quite busy and was packed by the end of the afternoon, with all sorts of wine-loving revelers enjoying some R&R before the final push of the holidays.  At one point, a group of about a dozen folks dressed in full Santa gear showed up to the party; I remember those same folks from last year.

  

Both events were a lot of fun and I’m very appreciated to both organizations for inviting me back in 2014!
