e’ve had a disastrous year weather-wise, Hurricane Harvey pounded and flooded Texas, then Hurricane Irma

pulverized Florida and surrounding areas with its’ plight. Not to forget Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, and the uncontrollable fires of California. Our hearts and thoughts go out to all those effected. With such devastation, and loss the fallout continues in many ways. Roxanne Kolbe owner of Auberge on the Vineyard. A veteran innkeeper of 20+ years. Shared her updates that her home area, Sonoma County was spared of the fires yet she was dealing with cancellations and her business is at risk due to guests not coming. Yet even though informing and almost pleading the vineyards and everyone is open –travelers still wanted a refund and continue to cancel their trips.
