Artisanal, Boutique AND Organic? Sonoma Valley Group Has It All | Get Your Tickets to Their Upcoming Grand Tasting in SF Nov. 8 at Fort Mason

This grassroots group makes many of California’s best wines...taste them all before the holidays arrive...and you can stock up.

Here is the latest from the Winemakers Podcast, announcing the upcoming tasting.

S.O.R.B.E.T. is back! The Sonoma Organic Regenerative Educational Tasting returns to Fort Mason November 8th, 2026.

We sat down with old friends Katie Bundschu Tynan and Morgan Twain Peterson, who together conjured SORBET with our own Sam Coturri when some shit-talking messages about greenwashing vineyard “sustainability” got out of hand and turned into a full-fledged tasting event.

SORBET 2025 was a sold-out smash hit. This year, SORBET has grown and evolved. They secured official 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, hosted field days to promote regenerative farming practices in the Sonoma Valley viticulture community, and threw a spectacular, sunset-splashed fundraiser dinner.

Now they’re bringing it all back to where it started for one of the most unique and forward-thinking tastings we’ve ever seen. Expect more than 30 wineries and vineyards, hundreds of wines representing dozens of varieties, and every winemaking style you can imagine. What brings them all together? They’re all from Sonoma Valley, and they’re all farmed organically, regeneratively or biodynamically.

So sit down, pop a bottle of SORBET-qualified wine and listen in as the crew talks about why they’re excited about SORBET 2.0, what’s happening in the wine world in Sonoma and beyond, and, while we’re at it…all the other events everyone is doing between now and 2027.

My notes:

BUCKLIN has some of the oldest vines in the country. Once & Future is the winery of veteran old vine loving Joel Peterson. Laurel Glen Vineyard put Sonoma Cabernet on the map. Kamen Estate, owned by the Hollywood screenwriter, famously dynamited volcanic rock to makes its Lava Block wines on Moon Mountain. Gloria Ferrer is now Sonoma’s largest organic estate and makes beautiful sparkling wines. Bedrock is always a standout…And that’s just the beginning of the stories about all these producers.
