Arts Preview with Allison Coats -Music, museums and more

Allison Coats knows a thing or two about the arts in Sonoma, as she represents some of the Valley's premier arts institutions. She stops by to talk about what's happening at the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art, diRosa Center for Contemporary Art, wineries like Muscardini Cellars and all the live music venues like Hopmonk Sonoma and B&V Whiskey Bar & Grille.

But she's not just an expert on arts events, she can also answer YOUR questions. This Sonoma native is uniquely qualified to help out during "We Get Questions." This week she helps with:

-My 25^th wedding anniversary is coming up next year. My wife keeps saying she wants to go to “wine country.” I have no idea where to begin. Our anniversary is May 29. Help! (via email)

-When is the Lighting of the Plaza this year? (via text)

- Hi!  Visiting Sonoma area (from the East Coast) for the first time next month, staying in Kenwood.    We’ll have 2 days to explore Sonoma & Napa and want to make the most of it.  How many wineries should we realistically expect to visit in a day?  Any must-sees/dos?  Are drivers/transportation an easy option?  We like Chardonnays, Cabs & Zinfandels, open to others.  Thank you!

- Where in New Jersey are you from?
 

- How long does it take to get wine from a newly planted grapevine?
