Vino In My Dino

HYPEd at Pedroncelli

October 21, 2016 16:29

We hosted a wonderful group of young professionals from northern Sonoma County recently. Officially titled Healdsburg Young Professionals and Entrepreneurs, HYPE is an off-shoot of the Healdsburg Chamber of Commerce. I was ‘hyped’ up because I enjoyed hearing about their individual stories, I hope you get ‘HYPEd’ too.

As I spoke to several of the attendees I was inspired to weave all of their careers into one blog post in support of what they are doing to make this a great place to live. The evening was lively, they learned about our story and we listened to theirs. I believe you would enjoy being introduced to them. Follow up if they provide something you are looking for whether it is a backyard organic garden, hotel room, balloon ride or that perfect wine country career.

Joanna’s Nannies provides babysitting and event childcare when you are attending an over-21 event or just want a bit of alone time.

Dr. Jessica Klein, a Healdsburg native, opened Wine Country Vet Hospital in Windsor and will take good care of your pets and you can enjoy a glass of wine while you are there.

Jeremy Nusser and Amanda Dunker have a great idea for your backyard with Avalow. Their motto is Eat Well. Garden Often and they install and maintain raised bed gardens—all you do is sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor!

Finally Jon Koons represented the great Russian River Valley winery Inman Family Wines, and even took home a magnum of our Cabernet Sauvignon. Enjoy Jon!

A toast with Zinfandel in my Dino to all of these great professionals whom we are lucky to have in our midst. And special thanks to HYPErs Aleena Decker, Rachel Droesch and especially Alexis Greenberg for the photos!

HYPE first gathered for some Pedroncelli wine and snacks.

Part of their networking time was spent picking one of six questions like a favorite aspect of their job, if they were a wine what would they be and why or a goal they'd like to achieve by the end of the year.
