Passport 2010: Sooner Than You Think!
January 19, 2010
It may still be January but it’s also less than two weeks until tickets go on sale for Passport 2010. And that means less than 3 months from then until Passport. While that may seem a long way off, time has a way of slipping away. 2010 marks the 20th Anniversary of this signature Dry Creek Valley event. While the Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley and the participating Wineries always do a nice job, I imagine the 20th Anniversary will inspire even greater things than usual. One of those things is Gateway to Passport. This intimate dinner event takes place the evening before Passport begins, at Charlie Parlmer’s Dry Creek Kitchen. We’ll be at Passport to Dry Creek Valley and we hope to see many of you there! Read more about it including specific details in the Winegrowers Press Release Below:
Escape to Passport to Dry Creek ValleyT for a journey of wine, food and fun! We invite you to join us for the 20th anniversary celebration of Passport to Dry Creek Valley on April 24 & 25, 2010.

Horizon Airlines offers a special exception to their checked baggage policy at the Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport. No carry on alcohol is allowed. However, Horizon will accept a box of up to 12 bottles of wine per passenger at no extra charge from customers on flights departing Sonoma County. The wine must be packaged to courier standards for shipment. The liquid and gel ban by the TSA removed the ability of passengers to carry the wine they purchased on board, so Horizon developed this program in partnership with the Sonoma County wine community, allowing customers to purchase their favorite wines and sparing them the hassle and expense of shipping them separately.
