Brad, the Estate Manager at Matanzas Creek Winery, invited me back to Matanzas Creek Winery for “Tasting ’til Twilight.”  Brad’s been keeping the tasting room open late on weekends this summer, and he asked me to join one night and provide some background music on the patio.  The setting was as as good as it gets.  From my vantage point I could see Matanzas Creek’s lavender fields and the vineyards of Bennett Valley beyond, all with the sun setting while folks milled about.  I played some jazz standards, sipped a bit of wine, and had a great time!
