Let's Talk Business! With the publication of this ninth issue we are entering our third year of providing a conversational and casual portal to the life and flavor of California's Wine Country. We have also arrived at a point where I believe the magazine needs to begin a search for a partner, business or nonprofit organization that would be able to capitalize on these good beginnings. Interested parties should feel free to contact me by phone or email.   Jack Burton Editor/Publisher chefjack@sonomapicnic.com 707-433-2239
