Sip delicious estate wines\, soak in the vineyard views\, and let the music carry you into the warmth of a California summer evening. Tickets must be purchased in advance.\nEach show is a celebration of great tunes\, good company\, and everything that makes Apple Hill special. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning fan\, there’s nothing quite like live music under an open sky at Starfield.\nThe Friday July 24 concert with Petty Jack Flash and the Friday August 28 Live Beatles Experience concert are sold out.\nFriday July 10\, Hot Buttered Rum: $35.00/non-members\, $25.00/winery club members.\nFriday July 17\, Jax Hammer: $25/non-members\, $15.00/winery club members\nFriday August 14: AcustaGruve: $25/non-members\, $15/winery club members.\nGates open at 5:30 PM\, giving you a full hour to settle in\, explore the range of wines in the tasting room\, and find your spot on the lawn before the first note hits at 6:30 PM. Bring a blanket or low-back chairs and make yourself at home. Music runs until 9:30 PM. Off site alcohol is not permitted. Check in at The Rose Arbor: tickets are verified electronically\, no printed versions are necessary. Bring a valid ID.

Order at the Amphitheater bar and we will deliver your order. Guests are also welcome to bring their own food and picnic items.\nThis summer the winery introduced its Pizza alla Pala program\, under the guidance of chef Scott Tomblin. Pizza alla Pala is baked in long rectangular sheets\, cut to order\, and served on wooden boards. Chef Scott Tomblin uses two flours — one from California and the other imported from Italy — both organically grown at the source — blended and slow-fermented for 48 hours to develop complex flavors. Pizza alla Pala is served seven days a week from 11 am to 5 pm.\nPerched in the El Dorado AVA in the Sierra Foothills\, the winery was founded in 2012 by father and son duo Tom and Rob Sinton. They planted 31 acres of grapes on the property’s hillsides east of Placerville\, consisting of 17 varieties in twenty-four blocks of roughly 1.5 acres each. The vineyards are sustainably farmed\, and regenerative agriculture was begun in 2016.\nStarfield Vineyards’ tasting room is set on a high hill overlooking the vineyards\, gardens\, forests and steep slopes of the Sierra Foothills\, offering 360° mountain views. A visit to the winery is not complete without a walk through The Gardens\, which extend over ten acres of forest\, woodland\, and ponds. There are over three miles of paved paths and roads\, bordered by a wide variety of flowers\, climbers\, and shrubs\, and shaded by pine\, cedar\, and fir forest\, oak woodland\, and a wide range of maples\, scarlet oaks\, aspen\, alders\, ginkgos\, tupelos\, and many other trees. Outside the tasting room is The Rose Arbor\, covered by hundreds of Iceberg and Sally Holmes climbing roses\, which produce dazzling sprays of white flowers year-round.\nThe winery is located at 2750 Jacquier Road in Placerville (95667) and is open seven days a week from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. More at 530/748-3085 and https://www.starfieldvineyards.com/\nThe winery produces a range of proprietary and varietally labeled wines as well as sparkling wines\, low-alcohol wines and sweet vermouths.\n# # #

SUMMARY:Lecture Night! Behind The Bee: How Local Reporting Brought a Wrongly Deported Mom Home
DESCRIPTION:How do local journalists stay relevant and do meaningful work in a rapidly shifting media landscape? How does a local institution like The Sacramento Bee understand its role in the community? This lecture is structured as a discussion between two reporters and two editors from The Sacramento Bee. They’ll share the inside scoop on how they broke and reported the story of Maria de Jesus Estrada Juarez\, a local mother who arrived in downtown Sacramento for her green card appointment but was instead arrested and deported by federal agents despite her DACA status. By the next morning\, she found herself in Mexico\, a country she hadn’t lived in for nearly 30 years. Sacramento Bee reporter Mathew Miranda broke this story and set off a 40-day frenzy that culminated at the US-Mexico border where Estrada Juarez was reunited with her daughter and allowed to return home thanks\, in large part\, to the reporting done by Miranda and Bee visual journalist Hector Amezcua. \nThis discussion will break down how local journalism makes a difference\, even in a media landscape that’s being rapidly reshaped by technology and new content-delivery models. You’ll walk away with a better understanding of what really happens in a busy newsroom when an important story breaks\, the rapid-fire decisions journalists and editors need to make\, and the challenges they face delivering the news in 2026. \nSpeakers from The Sacramento Bee:\nMathew Miranda\, Political Reporter\nHector Amezcua\, Visual Journalist\nChris Fusco\, Executive Editor\nMarcos Breton\, Director of Community Outreach & Opinion Journalism \nSchedule:\n6pm – Doors Open – grab a drink and mingle. We’ll have trivia questions on the screen and some surprises\n6:45pm – Program begins with an intro & prize giveaway\n7pm – Lecture begins\n8pm – Q&A\n8:15pm – Mingle\, discuss the lecture\, meet the speaker\n9pm – You don’t have to go home\, but you can’t stay here \nWhat to Expect:\nCommon Knowledge is Sacramento’s new bar lecture series. \nAt Common Knowledge we believe that learning something new is the most rewarding and fun thing you can do. We’re about bringing diverse people and ideas together to have a great time. \nThis event is open seating so come at 6pm to to grab a drink and a seat. Before the lecture we’ll have music and trivia questions on the screen. We’ll also have a fun\, low pressure “side quest” so you can win a free drink. \nThe lecture will last for 1 hour and is made for an intelligent\, general audience so you don’t need any specialized background to have a great time. After the lecture\, there will be 15 minutes for Q&A and then the bar will be open for another hour to hang out\, meet the speaker\, and discuss the ideas you just heard. \nThe bar will close at 9pm.
