    Sue at Woof Report wanted to make sure everyone knows about the 1st annual Canines & Wines event that Woof Report is hosting in collaboration with HALL Wines of St. Helena, CA this Sunday, August 2 from 11 am – 4 pm. 

    Admission is $20, but only $15 if you are a Woof Report subscriber.  Dogs are free.   20% of all
    wine sales will benefit the Napa Humane Society.   The day will     include a select artisan wines, dog treats, dog facials, photo shoots courtesy of Fetch Foto, and more.

    Unfortunately, Darby and I will not be able to attend since we will be heading to Wine Country the next weekend for Mutt Lynch's Dog Days of Summer event (more on that next week).  But if you're in the area, and love dogs and wine, think about attending both.  Drinking wine with your dog in a vineyard for a good cause never gets old.

    Wags, Whiskers and Wine.� Unwind in wine country at the St. Francis Winery & Vineyard on a Friday night, August 15, 2008 and benefit the animals of Sonoma County. This fundraiser for the Humane Society and SPCA of Sonoma County includes
    a full gourmet dinner, local wines and brews, live music, auctions, and
    more. The cost is $95-$125 per person, but that’s a bargain for the
    ambiance and great food and drink. Sorry, no dogs.
