Summer in Sonoma! Jump in the pool, get the BBQ going, have a Sonoma Spritz and don't forget to scream for ice cream. Luckily, Ramie Hencmann from Sweet Scoops is here to talk about her delightfully wonderful shop right on the Sonoma Plaza, making homemade ice cream with local fruits and flavors. Ramie's husband Joe has been making ice cream since he was 19, and in Ramie's words he is always thinking about new flavors. "Joe loves making ice cream. He's always thinking about the flavors, and he has the mind to think of how it all will work." And speaking of flavors, we do a tasting of three very delicious samples: vanilla, cherry wine (made with local wine) and lemon blueberry, with blueberries from Serres Ranch and lemons from the backyard trees of various friends and family. Every week our podcast guests answer YOUR questions about wine country and visiting Sonoma. This week Ramie answers: Favorite spot and dish to get on the Sonoma Square for a late lunch or afternoon bite? We're at the Sonoma Plaza with kids for the afternoon - what should we do? Where can we cool off in Sonoma Valley? (And did you know you can DoorDash some Sweet Scoops right to your poolside? Yes - Ramie recommends it!) What's your go-to pizza from Mary's in Sonoma?
