Comedy and community music at Copia in January
January is Classic Comedy Month at Copia. Friday Night Flicks begin on Jan 11 with “Some Like It Hot,” the 1959 classic starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. When Chicago musicians Joe ( Curtis) and Jerry (Lemmon) witness a gangland shooting, they quickly board a southbound train disguised as Josephine and Daphne, the two newest and homeliest members of an all-girl jazz band. Their cover is perfect until a singer (Monroe) falls for Josephine, an aging playboy falls for Daphne, and the mob picks up their trail. The night includes as special “live” appearance with Diana Dawn as Marilyn Monroe in the Copia theater at 8 p.m..
To get the new year off to a great start, music lovers in the Napa Valley are invited to enjoy two performances featuring a Bay Area native, cellist Rebecca Rust, and her husband, bassoonist Friedrich Edelmann. Known as the Mozart Duo, they now reside in Germany and have been touring internationally.

Mandy suggested serving it with cinnamon flavored whipped cream — Sasha Paulsen

A 'Wine Buying Guide for Everyone'
A search for “wine buying guide” on Google turned up 166,000 Web sites. Some are columns by writers, some are books, some are compiled lists, but most of them have one thing in common — they are subjective and the result of an individual’s personal taste.
Vintner George Vierra decided the answer to the question “If you could have any wine in the world to celebrate the New Year, what wine would it be?”
