Starlite Vine­yards, the premier Sonoma County boutique winery, will host its second annual Early Music Series on Sunday, April 29 from 2 to 3:30 pm in its wine tasting room. Connois­seurs will enjoy the refined textures and beguiling aromas of Starlite wines accom­panied by a baroque reper­toire performed by master Sonoma County musicians.

Admission to this cultural cele­bration is free for Starlite Vine­yards wine club members. All others are invited to purchase tickets for only $ 25 at http://www.starlitevineyards.com.

Art is a signif­icant part of what makes Starlite Vine­yards unique. Paintings from masters of American contem­porary art adorn the tasting room walls and embellish the labels of Starlites92 Point Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Viognier bottles. Just like these fine art pieces, each award-winning varietal is artfully crafted at Starlite Vine­yards from select grapes grown in the unique soil and micro­climate of Alexander Valley in Somoma County.

We think of our wine­making as a fine art, so natu­rally art and music play an integral role in the overall expe­rience of enjoying our wines, said Arman Pahlavan, owner of Starlite Vine­yards. We host our annual Early Music Series to complete that sensory expe­rience and submerge wine enthu­siasts in the artistic culture of Starlite.

To complement Starlite Vine­yards European style wines, the baroque reper­toire will perform scores from composers like Bach, Weiss, Prez, Couperin, Marais, Abel, Vivaldi and Lully. The musi­cians include Gary Digman on guitar, viola da gamba, and lute, Julia Gennert on the harp­si­chord, John Konigsmark on the violin, and Gael Reed lending stunning soprano vocals.

The Early Music Series began on Memorial Day Weekend in 2010 with perfor­mances from classically-trained musi­cians from the San Fran­cisco Conser­vatory of Music. This is the first year Starlite Vine­yards will showcase musi­cians from Sonoma County as a way to spot­light the artistic talents of the local community.
