Slow Food Inches Its Way to Alameda
The first Rosenblum wine club member/shareholder I met and still one of the nicest–Mark Hardwick– is really excited to help bring the Slow Food movement to Alameda. I’m excited he is, as well. My last experience with the organization was at the festival for East Bay Vintner’s Alliance, and I tell you, the food is amazing, as is the idea. This is the beginning of something amazing, where people come together over food that’s produced nearby in a safe and sustainable manner. Locals seem very happy to have this organization in our own backyward. In fact, Mark told me so many restaurants in Alameda wanted to participate, they had to tell some no or there would have been too much food!
The Kick-Off Event will be held at Rosenblum Cellars Friday February 1 from 5:00 to 7:30 PM. It will include wine, appetizers, and a special raffle that will help Ploughshares Nursery farm an acre of land across the street from the winery.
Here’s the website for more information.
