The Blue Note features the Sean Carscadden Trio on Saturday, July 5, at 8 p.m. From New Orleans funk to desert-infused surf reverberation, Carscadden makes his six-string guitar reach through space. The wingmen in his trio are Gator Nation’s drummer Mikey Cannon and Cliff Hugo, the bassist for Supertramp.

Ahead of the Curve conference examines AI Napa Valley Grapegrowers’ Ahead of the Curve workshop on July 23 will focus on artificial intelligence in winemaking. It will be held at The Culinary Institute of America at Copia from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. AI isn’t fully integrated into agriculture yet but it’s coming. Growers need to be ready to utilize this new tool to benefit their operations. It is often said that adversity creates ingenuity. In an evolving and often unclear wine landscape, ingenuity and a clear vision of operational needs are paramount.  This event is about cutting through the noise, so you walk away informed, prepared and confident about what’s ahead for your business and the entire growing community.
