New Owners Restoring Historic Jenner Inn
Renovations are under way at the venerable Jenner Inn, a landmark hotel and restaurant on the rugged Sonoma County coast.

Spread over more than four acres at the mouth of the Russian River, the inn itself is a collection of historic buildings, some of which date back more than a century, to the inception of the seaside hamlet of Jenner. The unique main building was constructed entirely from redwood in about 1948 by Swedish boat-builders.

The new owners are the Coyne family — Northern California native Charlie Coyne, his wife Katie, and cousins Marty and Tom. In the early 1980s, Charlie and his brothers restored the decaying, partially submerged Delta King paddle-wheel steamer, and turned it into a thriving Sacramento hospitality showpiece. The Coynes envision a similar comeback for the Jenner Inn.

Renovation of the Jenner Inn will occur in stages, one building at a time, with the hotel continuing to operate throughout the process. The goal is to maintain the inn’s legendary charm while updating its décor, furnishings, and amenities. In addition to renovating the inn’s 21 guest units, the new owners plan to update the on-site restaurant, and will begin by offering a hearty, made-to-order breakfast to hotel guests in the coming months.

New law allows sales at distillery tasting room
Effective in 2016, craft distillers can join their colleagues at breweries, wineries, and cider houses in selling directly to customers who come taste their products at the tasting room or production facility.

A change in California state law allows direct sales, making it easier to visitors to take home a bottle of gin, whiskey, or other spirits distilled on site. Prior to the law change the tasting room staff had to direct customers to a retail establishment for purchases. The new law allows for not only the sale of the artisan spirits, but also for cocktails and mixed drinks can be made with the spirits to showcase how best to use them.

A complete list of distilleries open to the public in Sonoma County is at www.sonomacounty.com/spirits.

SHOPPING

Sonoma Barrel Décor & Design Crafts One-Of-A-Kind Wine Country Furniture
Wine barrels become functional works of art at the new family-owned Sonoma Barrel Décor & Design in Santa Rosa, in beautiful Sonoma County.

A wine barrel is comprised of a number of solid white oak staves bound together by galvanized steel rings. The outside of the barrels range from natural tans and blonds, to gray and black markings; some exteriors may be stained red from the process of removing the wines. The exquisite wine-stained interiors vary from deep purples to soft reds.

From the shape of the barrel itself, to the contrast of metal, wood, and the subtle nuances of the wine-stained French and American oak, Sonoma Barrel incorporates all aspects of the carefully selected wine barrels into hand-crafted tables, chairs, bars, stools, and other furniture, décor, and art. The goal is to use the natural beauty of each stave to shape and craft the wood into a distinct work of art.

Tours of their warehouse and shop offer the opportunity to see their hardworking, eclectic, and talented team in action, and are available by appointment only.
