The Giving Groove is delayed until Wednesday this week

Hi TGG readers,

We’ve had a family emergency in recent days, so the next edition will come out on Wednesday this week. Thanks for your patience!

On a different note, I’ll be sending out a reader survey next month—I want to make sure I’m covering the topics you have a burning desire to learn more about and that will be most useful to you. Always good to change things up a bit. So think about it! Thanks.

P.S. - Don’t you love sustainable wineries? There are more in Napa and Sonoma Counties than you probably realize, if you’re in the SF Bay Area. My partner and I are touring women-owned, family-run Tres Sabores in St. Helena this week for a travel story on Napa beyond the glitz. From their website: “As a California Certified Organic Farm (CCOF), we cultivate grapevines, heritage olives, Meyer lemons, pomegranates, and more in our heirloom garden. Our ranch is also home to an ecosystem including bluebirds, red tail hawks, a herd of sheep, a flock of Guinea fowls, and more.” This is the wine country that you rarely read about.

But I digress.

See ya Wednesday, Tonya
