Great event and tasting of Coastal Sonoma wines  Monday night at the 3015 Trinity Groves event center in Dallas.  The event was well attended with most people showing up for the initial VIP hour. The small bites food selection was excellent and paired well with the wines.  The West Sonoma Coast climate is perfect for premium Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and cool climate Syrah. The West of West Wine Festival occurs in August each year and is a great opportunity to try all of the wines of the West Sonoma Coast. Visit westsonomacoast.com for more information
