Make sure you follow on your favorite streaming service to be notified of new episodes and BONUS content! Diane Baccaro expresses herself through baked goods, fine wines, and community outreach. Graduating with a BFA in Original Works from Cornish College of the Arts she was well qualified to become…a waitress. Pushing through the mundane she discovered that storytelling comes in myriad forms. Falling into the rabbit hole of wine appreciation she studied to become a certified sommelier and loves introducing new people to an art form that can literally be digested! Her decades of restaurant work also grew her love of hospitality and food. In 2020 (aka crazy times) she and her husband, Damien, opened a bed and breakfast on the Northern California coastline called Rendezvous Mendocino. They believe in providing a space where people (and pets) can come together to reconnect with each other, themselves, and the breathtaking nature that surrounds us. She makes THE BEST buttermilk biscuits and other baked goods that are made fresh and delivered to guests each morning. Beyond that, Diane is devoted to creating community, which she does by volunteering on the board of a local non-profit, leading community events and fundraisers, and most importantly LOVING the local community theater scene. She keeps writing her story one line at a time. Find out more about her and her business at Rendezvous Mendocino .
