It connects us with our memories and our histories and can transport us both physically and spiritually to another time. Cooking for me is about bringing people together and nurturing them in the most primal of ways. Cooking is far more than a profession or a hobby; it is a passion that infuses everything from the ingredients I select\, to the time and attention I put into menu planning and presentation of the finished product. Food also connects us to the Earth\, which is why I strive wherever possible to use local\, wild crafted and sustainable ingredients. I have cultivated relationships with local purveyors to insure that everything I prepare is fresh and life enhancing.” —KarinasCatering.com\n\nWines by Harmonique\nHarmonique makes three different styles of gracefully aged Anderson Valley Pinot Noir wines and a Un-Oaked Chardonnay.

It’s about farmers and ranchers\, and the land and the water. It’s about the idea of sharing sustenance with those you care about in the context of a meal. It’s about connecting with the rich cultural history that has been passed on to us through the foods we eat.” She believes that eating is more than supplying our bodies with fuel\, though not discounting the value of healthy foods. Instead\, eating feeds our souls as well as our bodies. Food provides a context for our history\, our lives and our relationships.”\n\nWines by Handley Cellars\nHandley Cellars is a small family-owned Mendocino County winery producing around 12\,000 cases a year. “At Handley Cellars\, we firmly believe in a conscious and conscientious approach to farming and winemaking.

Our winemaking philosophy is to let the distinctive qualities of each vineyard shine through. Working with carefully tended\, exceptional sites\, we strive to create wines which faithfully reflect the unique characteristics of the vineyards and viticultural region\, focusing on our appellation of Anderson Valley. From start to finish\, we are mindful of our impact on our rural valley\, and the implications of our farming and wine making choices for future generations.”\n\nSparkling Wines by Signal Ridge\nThe Signal Ridge Vineyard is the highest altitude vineyard in all of Mendocino\, Sonoma and Napa counties.

Delightful to sip on its own or paired with a sunset.\n\n\n \nGenerously Sponsored by Pamela Hudson Real Estate\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nClick Here to Reserve Online Now URL:https://mendocinomusic.org/event/big-time-in-little-river-2014/ LOCATION:Little River home of John and Kathy Danhakl\, 45650 Headlands Drive\, Little River\, CA\, 95456 CATEGORIES:Benefit Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mendocinomusic.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Big-Time-in-Little-River_1000x241.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Mendocino Music Festival":MAILTO:info@mendocinomusic.org GEO:39.272481;-123.799117 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Little River home of John and Kathy Danhakl 45650 Headlands Drive Little River CA 95456;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=45650 Headlands Drive:geo:-123.799117,39.272481 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
