Dear Friends,

Last weekend, we all bore witness to the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III in a stunning ceremony at Westminster Abbey. Excitement was in the air in the UK and all around the world as we collectively celebrated the first Coronation in over 70 years.

Here in San Francisco we hosted our own celebration at the historic Grace Cathedral, where I joined many of you in toasting the beginning of this new Carolean era. The reception featured climate education, locally-sourced and organic drinks and canapés, a viewing of the Coronation ceremony, and a performance by the St. Helena High School Choir. A special thanks to our sponsors, CyraCom, Willow on the Green, Sipsmith Gin, Lodi Wine Commission, Whittard’s Tea, and Franklin and Sons, who helped make the celebration such a success.

Long live the King!

Take care,
