California’s best low-alcohol wines are made in the vineyard

Steve Matthiasson doesn’t consider himself a trendsetter. Yet as demand for lower-alcohol wines grows, it is a label the longtime Napa Valley winemaker may have to em…

Dunno what that was all about. About a dozen or more law enforcement vehicles screamed past me going south on 101, south of Santa Rosa. Wouldn't be surprised if they were doing 100.

Major wildfire near Fort Ross in Sonoma, hoping it doesn't burn. We are covered in smoke now. #sonomacounty #santarosa

Saw these folks (Wilt) at Lagunitas Brewing tonight (free show!), opening for Bully.  Great show. They’re an LA band, so not surprisingly they sort of channel Missing Persons on this one.

I miss the monthly First Fridays in Santa Cruz. Speaking of art shows #petaluma #sonomaCounty #newcomer #transplant

And it works! This past Thursday I went to an opening I wasn't really THAT interested in but ended up having a delightful conversation with a local artist (completely separate from the exhibit actually - she just happened to be at Aqus and didn't even know there was an opening happening) #petaluma #sonomaCounty #newcomer #transplant

Very tired but going to try and summon the energy to at least stop in for a bit at some art show openings in town. Part of my efforts to get more grounded in my new home. Something I've been neglecting to do.

Hmm, conundrum... I am signed up for the monthly volunteer training at the local humane society, so that I can start volunteering and get some canine time, but I also found out about a recital at the same time that sounds interesting and also might be a way to get to know better more people in town who have similar vocal/singing interests to me...

My gut is I should reschedule the volunteer training (by 5 weeks): that happens monthly but this recital is a much rarer event, so I should prioritize that.

damn it, I completely spaced that I had signed up for free Tai Chi by the river tonight! Missed it!

Darn it darn it darn it!

Magnitude 5.6 earthquake just north of Ukiah. Got alerts here in Petaluma but I didn't feel anything.

I recently discovered that there's now a vibrant and active local #DSA (#DemocraticSocialistsOfAmerica) group in my area: https://socodsa.org/ and joined up.

And was just reading a little store about how they've managed that growth: https://democraticleft.dsausa.org/2026/06/12/from-organizing-committee-to-political-force/

If you're in #SonomaCounty, I suggest checking them out.

North Coast Wine & Food Festival returns to Santa Rosa

Hype for the Future 148K: The Bay Area Defined

https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/03/28/hype-for-the-future-148k-the-bay-area-defined/

I decided to plan my next art show. I will be showing my landscape and plein air work. Here’s the twist: I specifically want this to be held in a public community building like a library or the Finley Center, or local government building. City hall or whatever. Because I really want this to be accessible to the general public, and a gallery sometimes makes people think they have to buy something.

I also think with the way our society is going we need to have community oriented things.

This may be odd because I actually do have a gallery connection and could set up a rental situation again but I can’t help but want this to be different right now.

I’m calling around Sonoma County to see if this could happen.

Rep. Doug LaMalfa's death yesterday shocked me and many others – this is an earthquake for California politics in the wake of Prop. 50. Here's my article on what happens next via Local News Matters.

If anyone in #Sebastopol or elsewhere in #SonomaCounty is interested in trying their hand at woodturning, my wife, Kalia Kliban, will be teaching some beginning bowl turning classes at the Chimera makerspace in downtown Sebastopol. She;s a terrific turner and an excellent teacher (though I may be a bit biased). Here's the Eventbrite link:

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/woodshop-turning-wooden-bowls-tickets-336774139517?aff=ebdssbdestsearch

If anyone in #Sebastopol or west #SonomaCounty is interested, my wife, Kalia Kliban, is currently doing a live woodturning demonstration at the Sebastopol Gallery, 150 N. Main Street. She has a lathe set up in the front window, and she's making bowls (which is what she mostly does) as well as tops, hair sticks, cocktail muddlers, and other less exalted items. Head on over if you like watching wood shavings fly through the air. She'll be doing this all week, from 10 to 5 each day.

Here's one from my hometown, Sebastopol, California. This was relatively small, as these things go; the much bigger one was about 10 miles away in Santa Rosa. But it was quite the crowd for our little town. We had a couple of big pickup trucks turn the corner way too fast, which I suspect was supposed to be intimidating, but otherwise it was a perfectly happy and peaceful event. Some cops popped in to help when someone hurt herself falling off the curb, but they were otherwise invisible. The crowd was universally lily-white, despite the fact that this is an agricultural area and we have a good-sized Hispanic population, but you know, even though this is Jared Huffman's district and all -- maybe even BECAUSE it's Jared Huffman's district -- I probably wouldn't have wanted to show my face if it looked Hispanic either.

(I briefly considered making a sign that said "Hurray for our side" as a tribute to my musical roots, but I decided this wasn't the place for it.)
