We spent Christmas Eve having dinner at John Ash & Co. at the Vintner's Resort (Santa Rosa, CA) and our annual Christmas dinner celebration at Stark's Steak and Seafood (Santa Rosa, CA).

Then on Tuesday we had bruschetta from a farmer's market pop-up stand called Bruschetta Bar (hope they up their social media game soon; this place deserves to be better-known!).
