"Wine supported my France habit..." Lori Varsames started in Vermont, studied French, ended up in France doing bike tours, learning about wine, then selling French wine, then moving to New Mexico in search of change, met her husband, and then landed in... Sonoma Valley. Not to strike it rich, but to strike it well. This week on the Sonoma Spiel podcast, Lori talks Sonoma Wellness, especially as it relates to visiting the famed wine country in the winter. Looking for ideas? Lori has more than 100 ideas for things to do in Sonoma Valley for wellness, part of the "100 Days of Sonoma Wellness" from January to April. She also helps us review healthy and delicious wellness juices from the f resh juice bar at Sonoma Market , using her skills as a wine taster to tell us about the citrus, kale and cardamon flavors of the nutritious beverages. Lori is a personal and professional coach and offers some tips on how to organize yourself for the year ahead. More info about her coaching services is at https://lorivarsames.com . Like all of our guests she answers YOUR Sonoma questions, and this week she takes on: What kind of tree is that in front of the Visitor Center? What fun & educational activities are there in Sonoma for families with kids? Are there places where kids and adults can learn together about the history and science and artistry behind winemaking? What are a couple of fun wine tasting festivals you recommend?
