I’ll be thinking about my “pinot moment” and sharing pinot love stories at the CSUCI Art Gallery today from 3-8pm where I will be participating in the Women’s Economic Venture’s Holiday Boutique and Soiree to sell my poetry books and broadsides and to network.

Join pinot lovers and share YOUR pinot moment at a Holiday Soiree and Boutique fundraiser for Women’s Economic Ventures at the Cal State Channel Islands art gallery in downtown Ventura on the corner of California and Main and across the street from the Wine Rack.
