Forestville in the Press Democrat last week

Forestvill was mentioned four times last week in the Press Democrat:

First, I want to quote the obituary of Harry H. Minnich:

Harry H. Minnich was passionate about genealogy and history, and for years enjoyed gathering regularly with friends for coffee in Sebastopol. Minnich, a resident of Sonoma County for 32 years, died Saturday at his home near Sebastopol. He was 69 and died of complications due to emphysema. For more than a dozen years he regularly had his morning coffee at an outside table at Carr’s Drive In in Forestville.

The report of Outside Lands festival in San Francisco mentioned:

About 25 wineries — mostly from Napa and Sonoma counties — will be pouring 75 wines in an area organizers have dubbed Wine Lands. Concertgoers will have many options — syrah, pinot grigio, fumé blanc, zinfandel and others. Iron Horse Winery in Forestville will be pairing its sparkling wines with oysters.

The description of the Gravenstein Apple Fair started off this way:

Thomas Palmertree, a 37-year-old food service worker from Forestville, had a simple but surefire plan for winning the adult category of the apple sauce-eating contest Saturday at the Gravenstein Apple Fair in Sebastopol.

Finally, the weekly roundup of events included this note:

Shone Farm in Forestville has launched a farm stand that is open from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursdays at Traverso's Market in Fountaingrove Village. The Forestville farm, which is run by Santa Rosa Junior College, also offers a CSA, or community-supported-agriculture, subscription. Traverso's also sells the wine made from Shone Farm grapes. Traverso's is located at 2097 Stagecoach Road.
