New Year’s Eve Dining ● Healdsburg’s favorite places to dine on the last day of the year Staff Report
Photo by Rick Tang
Seems like we’re going in circles … We’ve cycled through political division and district mapping, casino wars and formula stores, and the final year of holding the Healdsburg Farmers’ Market in a parking lot. Guess what? That’s only half the year—Part Two arrives Jan. 1, 2026.
2025 slips into memory ● First six months of Healdsburg’s year By Christian Kallen Remember those cartoons during the Covid Era where people from the expiring year would look in terror around
the corner at the arriving year, saying, “What now?” It’s sort of like that all over again, as so much has changed since January it doesn’t seem possible that there’s more to come. We take a look here at the local scene for the first six months of the year … but there is much more to come. Last New Year’s Day, Jan. 1, 2025, we were immersed in coverage of the required separation of Healdsburg into five districts,
with a council-selected mayor. The squabbling got rather heated between December 2024 and April 2025 when the maps were finally settled. But not till this new year, 2026, will we see our first election by district of new council members. Districts 2 and 4 will hold elections this year for their representative; the odd-numbered districts will do so in 2028. — More on page 7
Is there such a thing as “the most coveted New Year’s Eve party in Healdsburg”? According to the Quinn Public Relations firm, there is—and it’s at the new Appellation Healdsburg. Considering it only opened for business in September, that’s quite an accomplishment. Guests can ring in 2026 with a “must-attend” evening featuring a five-course dinner at Folia Bar & Kitchen, domain of Chef Charlie Palmer’s culinary team, complete with a live band followed by festive DJ beats, a sparkling midnight toast under the stars (weather permitting) and a few special surprise appearances. The dinner menu highlights include a Tsar Nicolai caviar par-
fait, Maine lobster with vanilla butter and winter truffle pasta. Folia is one of several local restaurants touting a New Year’s Eve menu—many on the heels of a similar Christmas dinner, though presumably by the time one reads this article that will be irrelevant. Here follows a number of restaurants that also plan on elevating what is usually just another night of the year (ahem) into a culinary experience worth the anticipation. Chef Charlie Palmer’s local plans include other New Year’s Eve meals, with the team at Dry Creek Kitchen offering two festive tasting menus with seasonally inspired Wine Country fare: from persimmon and burrata — More on page 5

‘No-rehearsal’
Christmas pageant
● ‘In Hoc Anno Domini’ By Pierre Ratte The meaning of “In Hoc Anno Domini” is: “This year of the Lord.” It is the title of Vermont Royster’s 1949 editorial in the Wall Street Journal. The WSJ reprints his editorial every year, such is the clarity of its prose and power of its message. Having fought in World War II, Mr. Royster knew something of the world. After the war ended and servicemen returned home, and after he had been editor of the WSJ for three years, Mr. Royster took up his pen during the Christmas season and began this way: “When Saul of Tarsus set out on his journey to Damascus the whole of the known world lay in bondage. There was one state, and it was Rome. There was one master for it all, and he was Tiberius Caesar. Everywhere there was civil order, for the arm of the Roman law was long. Everywhere there was stability, in the government and in society, for the centurions saw that it was so. But everywhere there was something else, too. There was oppression … What was a man for but to serve Caesar?” Until a light appeared in the world: “... and the men who lived in darkness were afraid, and they tried to lower a curtain
so that men would still believe salvation lay with the leaders … Paul of Tarsus, too, was sore afraid. He feared that other Caesars, other prophets, might one day persuade men that man was nothing save a servant ... Then might it come to pass that darkness would settle again over the lands and there would be a burning of books … giving heed only to new Caesars and to false prophets.” Mr. Royster’s last paragraph hastens: “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” Prophetic words then as now to live in light and not in darkness. Fun facts: Mr. Royster was editor of WSJ from 1946 through 1971. Pulitzer Prize and Medal of Freedom winner, his medal citation reads: “his common sense exploded pretension” and “his compelling eloquence warned of the evils of society loosed from its moorings in faith.” Faith is celebrated and passed down this time of year in celebrations near and far. On Sunday night, Dec. 21, this week, the renovated sanctuary at Healdsburg Community Church was filled with celebrants participating in the annual no-rehearsal pageant memorializing Jesus’ birth in a manger. The church’s motto: “We are seeking to live like Jesus so others can experience God’s love.” All are welcome.

YULE LOG A bûche de Noël at Healdsburg’s Costeaux French Bakery & Cafe, presented by Nogales Phipps.
The Season Turns Inward ● Christmas lives inside a cake, or a Yule log By Liza Gershman A week before Christmas, the farmers’ market begins to exhale. The crates thin. The mornings turn darker. Rain settles in, and with it comes the quiet understanding that this season of gathering has reached its natural pause while the market prepares for its next chapter and its new home. This is the time of year when cooking turns inward. The tomatoes and peaches are long gone, but their memory lives on in jars lining the pantry shelves. Jams we jammed.
Fruit we dried. Preserves sealed on warm afternoons that now feel impossibly far away. Winter cooking is less about what is freshly harvested and more about what was purposefully saved. This is the season when the pantry becomes its own kind of market. Shelves fill the way stalls once did, each jar labeled in familiar handwriting, each bundle tied and tucked away for later. Tomato sauce waits for winter evenings. Plums and pears rest in syrup. Dried figs and apples reappear in cakes and holiday loaves. What was once abundance in
the open air becomes abundance kept, drawn upon slowly as the days shorten. In winter, the farmers’ market does not disappear. It simply moves indoors—reorganized, patient and deeply personal. For me, Christmas lives inside a cake. My family’s tradition is the bûche de Noël. A Christmas log. It arrives on an antique silver platter, dusted lightly with powdered sugar for snow, as if it has just been lifted from the forest floor. Marzipan mushrooms with hand-etched gills. Candied moss. A small forest bird perched nearby. It is precise and whimsical all at once, a dessert that belongs unmistakably to Christmas. My mother is an artist, and she brings
that sensibility into everything she makes. Cooking school gave her structure and fluency, but the artistry was already there. Her bûche de Noël is never casual. The marzipan mushrooms, the candied moss, the small forest bird: Each element feels placed rather than added, as if the cake were a landscape assembled by a master landscape painter. The tradition itself dates back centuries. Before cakes were involved, families in parts of France burned a ceremonial Yule log in the hearth to bring good luck and warmth through the winter. Over time, as homes grew smaller and hearths disappeared, the ritual moved from the fire to the table. The log became a cake. The symbolism remained. At its heart, a bûche de Noël is simple. A thin sponge cake is baked, rolled while warm, then filled and rolled again to resemble a log. In our holiday tradition, a delicious addition to the tried-andtrue recipe is strawberry jam or raspberry preserves saved from summer, their brightness cutting through the richness of the cake. The outside is frosted and textured to look like bark. Everything beyond that is imagination. Presentation has always been as important in our holiday celebrations as the dishes themselves. The table is treated as its own form of art: tartans drawn from our Scottish heritage, china from my great-grandmother’s collection and ornaments my mother spent years making by hand. Then there are the silver bells, engraved and given to me one each year, now so many that they cover an entire tree. For anyone intimidated by the idea of making a bûche de Noël, there is no shame in starting simply. A pre-mixed cake base works beautifully. Use fresh eggs from a local farmer. Whip a basic frosting. Roll gently. Frost generously. If marzipan mushrooms feel like too much, a dusting of powdered sugar or cocoa can be just as elegant. The key is using as many farm-fresh ingredients as possible, and adding in a layer of summer jam or preserve is a delicious way to bring one’s tastebuds to joyful moments of summer. The farmers may be stepping back for the season, but their presence remains in every pantry shelf and every holiday table. In the eggs. In the flour. In the jars opened slowly and deliberately as the rain falls outside. As this year draws to a close, I am deeply grateful for the farmers, makers, readers and neighbors who have supported this column and the work behind it. Wishing you a warm and generous holiday season filled with good food, shared tables and the quiet pleasures of winter. ‘Farm + Market: Healdsburg’ will be released in spring 2026, and it exists because of this community.

appetizers to King Crab risotto, Liberty Duck or other amusements, finishing with a Chocolate Ganache Tart. Choose from à la carte tickets to tables for up to 10 guests. $195 per person with $95 wine pairing. 31 Healdsburg Ave., 707.431.0330, drycreekkitchen.com. On the south side of the Plaza, Dustin Vallette and Nate Davis welcome 2026 with a culinary celebration at The Matheson, where a special five-course tasting menu highlights seasonal ingredients from Sonoma County. The wine wall at the Matheson makes it an attractive place to begin a celebration. If these restaurants have a sommelier-selected wine pairing to offer, it could be worth it for the sommelier’s show alone. Dinner from 4-10pm. $185 per person | $125 wine pairing. 106 Matheson St., 707.723.1106, thematheson.com. Up toward North Street the chef’s own Valette Healdsburg will ring in the New Year with a special six-course tasting menu crafted to the season in Wine Country style. Guests can anticipate Valette’s signature combinations of local ingredients, refined flavors and festive flair. Details will be announced soon, but it sounds like a thoughtful menu as usual at Valette Healdsburg. 344 Center St.,
707.473.0946, valettehealdsburg.com. Another signature local restaurant— Hazel Hill, the restaurant at Montage Healdsburg—is withholding the menu for New Year’s Eve dinner. Executive Chef Jason Pringle’s emphasis on French-inspired, California-focused selections will be put on display for New Year’s Eve diners, though what the meal will include remains a mystery. A circuitous
effort to reserve a table indicates they may be offering a five-course pris-fix dinner menu for $270 per, but it’s unclear if any tables are available. 100 Montage Way, 707.354.6900, montagehotels.com/ healdsburg/dining/hazel-hill. Elsewhere downtown, Spoonbar also has plans for New Year’s Eve. It offers a three-course menu featuring seasonally inspired dishes and desserts, while live piano-guitar music provides a subtle soundtrack for a celebratory evening. Only $95 per person, from an amuse to affogato; with choices of sides, mains and desserts. 219 Healdsburg Ave., 707.433.7222, spoonbar.com. Another reliable downtown restaurant, which seems like an institution though it’s only been open for 15 years, is Baci Café and Wine Bar. It’s closed Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, but open the preceding evenings. It’s a popular local Italian night out, so make reservations early. 336 Healdsburg Ave., 707.433.8111, bacicafeandwinebar. However, the “real” New Year’s at Baci is not Dec. 31, but the Persian New Year (Nowruz), which allows Chef Shari Sarabi to return to his native cuisine for inspiration. It falls in late March, coincident with the spring Solstice. By then another celebration is surely in order.

Soccer teams tune up for 2026 league ● Girls 5-0, boys 2-3-3 in pre-season games By Caleb Knudsen This winter’s unsung sports success is the Healdsburg Girls Soccer program, boasting a 5-0 record as 2025 comes to an end. Coach Edgar Gonzales and assistant Brian Saini have found a formula to produce wins on the grass, at home or on the road. Competition began Nov. 18 on the Healdsburg field against Cloverdale, under the hometown lights. The Hounds spread it around and goals by senior Vanessa Castro, sophomores June Sullivan and Olivia Saini, and freshman June Nelson produced more than enough goals for the 4-1 victory. The Nov. 21 game against Gateway produced a 9-2 win, and the dominance con-
tinued on Dec. 2 against Salesian College Prep with a 5-0 shutout. They faced a challenge during their Dec. 9 match with Roseland University Prep, but improved to 4–0 on the season with a hard-fought victory at home. “The match remained scoreless deep into the second half until a cross from freshman Chiara Mork came off an RUP defender and into the net for the game’s lone goal,” reported coach Gonzales. “Goalkeeper Estrella Santiago secured the win in the final minutes with a diving save as Roseland University Prep pressed for an equalizer.” On Dec. 12 Healdsburg mounted an impressive comeback on the road,
defeating the Drew School 4–3 in San Francisco. The game produced an excited and detailed report from Gonzales. “After Healdsburg fell behind 2–0 in the first half, sophomore Olivia Saini scored to cut the deficit in half, and freshman June Nelson followed with the equalizer. Drew reclaimed the lead before halftime, but in the second half the Hounds defense, anchored by sophomore Maria Castro, did not give up another goal. Nelson scored again in the second half to tie the match. Freshman Chiara Mork then netted the go-ahead goal, lifting the Hounds to a hard-fought victory.” The action turns local next year, with the first Greyhounds game of 2026 against St. Helena on Jan. 7 in Healdsburg, followed by a Jan. 9 rematch at Cloverdale. Boys Soccer The boys team has played a number of close, low-scoring games—including a scoreless tie against Roseland UP on Dec. 5—but has a negative 2-3-3 record to show for it. It hardly seems a fair picture of their play, as their record is close to the 2-2-2 sported by last year’s pennant winner Piner so far this year.

The Coming Pavilion The Healdsburg Farmers’ Market began its final year of operations in the West Plaza Parking lot, an awkward location that has become comfortably familiar over the years. Meanwhile construction continued across North Street at the former Cerri warehouse that was being renovated, at least in part, to house the market in coming years. (Both projects came together just last week, with the Dec. 15 Open House at the Community Pavilion, and the final Farmers’ Market of the year on a drizzly Dec. 10.) Civic squabbles became less fraught when springtime arrived along with the tourists who support Healdsburg’s economy. The Chamber of Commerce handed out $95,000 in support to local events, drawn from a 14% Tourism Occupancy Tax, or TOT. Cash went to Healdsburg Jazz, the city’s own Merry Healdsburg, the return of Songwriters in Paradise and Edge Esmeralda, among several other sponsorships.
AFFIRMATIONS A young girl explores the charms of a tribute tree celebrating Jen Utsch and her positive metal ‘jendala,’ at the Villa Chanticleer on Sunday, April 13, 2025.
June ended with the first neighborhood reaction to SMART coming to Windsor, a not-always-smooth process at first. A “no horn” zone needed to be implemented to save the sleep patterns of the locals. Once the kinks were worked out, Windsor welcomed the SMART train more than anyone, except perhaps Deb Fudge, had anticipated. And Healdsburg began to turn its gaze, again and at last, to the Hudson Street depot location, which needs a bit of polish to be ready for train time. Part Two of our 2025 Retrospective will cover the months July through December and appear in our Jan. 1, 2026, edition.

Casinos and Gyms Our Jan. 16 issue, headlined “Feds Greenlight Windsor Casino,” referred to one of the last acts of the Biden administration and one which was quite unpopular locally. The Koi Pomo band of Lake County wanted to build a casino in Sonoma County, but the Sonoma Pomo fought it every step of the way. In September, a federal judge reversed the decision and took the 69-acre property on East Shiloh road back from the Koi, seen as a big win for the local Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria. Also in January, the former Frost Hall on the Healdsburg High campus was rededicated for the late student wrestler Drew Esquivel, which felt like a heartwarming story at the time. But the Healdsburg Unified School District had failed to check with the Frost family, and after the mea culpas and trade-offs were negotiated, the as-yet-unnamed East Gym assumed the mantle of Frost Gym. In February, local artist and inspiration Jennifer “Jendala” Utsch died in Tucson. The charismatic metalcraft worker and educator left a hole in the art of the local arts scene, and her “jingle wagon” at the Jendala Day on April 13 was a touching exhibit of who she was. The City of Healdsburg got into trouble next, when in late January a local attorney filed suit for Brown Act violations leading up to the Measure O campaign of the previous year, and a “pattern of misbehavior” in the culture of Healdsburg’s city government. The suit was later settled between the two parties, with the city paying all legal expenses over $60,000 and promising to do better. City issues arose again as the downtown merchants faced off over the arrival of a “formula store” in the Plaza area—not
a Starbucks or a Pizza Hut, but a menswear company named Faherty’s. The issue compounded the arguments over the expanded business district in the Measure O rezoning campaign, and added to the fire of the ongoing mapping of proposed districts for city council seats. On April 21, the City Council again took up the five-district map, after a previous agreement on “Map A” had been revisited to become a new agreement over “Map D.” The effort to save Map A failed, and Map D became the official decision. All told, the district discussions, mapping and revisions lasted the first five months of the year, only reaching reluctant majority support in May. For a while the question “What district are you in?” became a conversation topic, never more so than for the five incumbents. Among the impacts affecting us in the coming year: elections for City Council members in Districts 2 and 4 this spring.

SHOWING Nico Bartolomei displays his crossbreed market steer at the 2025 FFA fair on Friday, May 23, 2025.
The next weekend brought the third return of the Healdsburg Wine & Food Experience, a sign that things might be returning to normal. The Farmer’s Market got underway in April, and Liza Gershman embarked on an ambitious book project involving it. She became a biweekly columnist with “Farm + Market.” But many would argue that they’ll never be normal again. Also in May a giant marble hand, installed in front of the Santa Rosa Mall almost 30 years ago, found its way north to Geyserville, becoming a new downtown landmark for the ag town at the crossroads. It’s now part of the Geyserville Art Trail, still growing even as the year ends with a new mural. On May 1 an event transformed Healdsburg into something it always has been, an agriculture community with a large debt to its local workforce. The as-yet-unnamed Community Center came up for branding, and an exception was made to the longstanding city naming ordinance, allowing it to be christened for Hispanic media pioneer and businessman Abel de Luna. With Delores Huerta on hand, while the winds from Washington blew rightward, the inclusive tribute to the still-active former mayor was a source of local pride. The first overtly anti-Trump rally, with about 30 protestors, was held in late April at a downtown corner. Six weeks later a thousand people lined Healdsburg Avenue on the first “No Kings Day,” June 14, calling for an end to the authoritarian direction of the Trump administration. The signs and chants stretched from McDonald’s to the Roundabout, a route that seemed somehow significant. Ever attentive to significant moments in the cultural matrix, the City Council turned its attention to naming a City Tree, or Flower, or perhaps Plant, in June. By September it came to fruition, so to speak, with the designation of the once-ubiquitous and now endangered Valley oak. (So where are the T-shirts?)

INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. “NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid on a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of the outstanding lien that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 844-477-7869, or visit this internet Web site www.stoxposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case T.S.# 88338. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.” For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase.

Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid; by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code; so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

The trustee relies solely on the trustee’s sale guaranty and/or Information provided by the lender regarding the lien priority and title condition and does not Independently verify such Information.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. All bids are subject to California Civil Code 2924h and are sold “AS-IS”. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 844-693-4761 or visit this internet website www.awest.us, using the file number assigned to this case 24-034849 Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction if conducted after January 1, 2021, pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 844-693-4761, or visit this internet website www.awest.us, using the file number assigned to this case 24-034849 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. If the
sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney. Date: America West Lender Services, LLC P.O.
