This weekend is actually a little quiet due to remaining bowl games, lingering fatigue and New Year's resolutions involving abstinence. So, you can ease your way into 2012. Frankly, a little Pinot by the Fire sounds pretty good to me...

All events listed below are in chronological order within each region. I also recommend checking the increasingly jam-packed events calendar at NorCalWine.com for future events. Some require advance reservations or ticketing. Others offer early-bird discounts.

Napa Valley

Winter in the Wineries — Calistoga: Ongoing through February 5
The Calistoga AVA is offering free tastings for the next month to holders of a Calistoga passport, available for $50.

Sierra Foothills

Be a Nut for a Day at Vino Noceto — Plymouth: Saturday & Sunday, 11am - 5pm
Okay, this is not an invitation to break out your Jerry Lewis impressions. Vino Noceto's wine club is called the Nut Club. (You can ask them why when you're there...) Anyway, every weekend in January, Vino Noceto will be giving non-Nuts the same treatment that genuine Nuts get. So go nuts and enjoy limited release wines, etc.

Sonoma County

Pinot by the Fire at DeLoach Vineyards — Santa Rosa: Saturday & Sunday, 1 - 3pm
Make an appointment with DeLoach and your friends to hang out near the toasty fireplace in the DeLoach guest house. They'll bring you five different Pinot Noir to enjoy along with some small yet tasty bites.

Art, Food & Wine Experience at Kenwood Vineyards — Kenwood: Saturday & Sunday, 2 - 3:30pm
By appointment tours at Kenwood Vineyards that include their Cabernet Sauvignon, deftly paired snacks and Kenwood's collection of original art.
