| Craneway Pavilion, on the waterfront in Point Richmond, with magnificent Bay views, was the venue for the Rhone Rangers this year, for the second year in a row |
 |
| A silent auction in the center of things raised money for a Rhone Rangers scholarship fund |
 |
| Sebastian Donoso, winemaker for Hopland-based Campovida winery, with two of his wines from organic vines - the estate Viognier and a Grenache from the Dolan family's nearby Biodynamic vineyard - Dark Horse Ranch |
 |
| Lasseter Family Winery poured their Rosé and Chemin de Fer, a GSM blend |
 |
| Ridge Vineyards poured its beauties from Lytton Springs; pictured here are David Gates, vineyard manager, and John Olney, Ridge's Lytton Springs winemaker |
 |
| Bob Lindquist of Qupé had more than a dozen wines to try, including his beautiful Syrahs from the Sawyer Lindquist estate. He's never shy about wearing his Dodgers attire in the Bay Area. Friday night, he won the Rhone Rangers' Lifetime Achievement Award. Hurray! |
 |
| Sondra Bernstein, proprietess of Sonoma classic The Girl and the Fig, serving forth a stemaing heap of French Rhone goodness in the form of a cassoulet |
 |
| Her cassoulet is a perennial favorite at the Rhone Rangers |
 |
| Cassoulet looks like it's ready for its closeup...hmmm... better reach for a nice bottle of an American Rhone wine... |
