Thoughts and comments - Sonoma/SF dining

First off, thanks to all who contribute (positively) on this board as I've used this as a reference for the past couple of months 'off and on' as I develop an itinerary for our 3 nites in RRV and 4 in the city which begin this Saturday as we arrive in town.

I'd appreciate your thoughts. Sat-Mon. Dinner reservations Fri at Starlight Wine Bar in Sebastopol with Sunday evening at Mosaic in nearby Forestville. Wine tasting on Sunday (Farrell right out the gate down River Rd out of G'ville. Pick up lunch at Jimtown and do Wilson, Unti, Preston with lunch at Bella. Monday, an early jitney into Healdsburg (breakfast at Downtown Bakery, grab lunch??? and head out to the Sonoma SP beaches. Then up to Jenner for cocktails and bar food/appys at Rivers Edge for the sunset

Heading into town, I've slotted Cafe Pescatore (which I rarely see mentioned here....hey we live at the Jersey shore and love our seafood) as our dinner spot the first evening. A16 is also on our dinner list along with The House in North Beach or Iluna Basque, which is where we're staying. Lunches across town look like Marnee Thai as we do GGP and the museums, Aux Delices and I need a good Cali pizza spot in NB.

Looks like I missed a great week of music with the SEVA Benefit and one of my alltime favorite musicians Ry Cooder who played at GAMH last Friday nite. Any good bands/jazz playing in town or points nearby Tues-Fri of next week would be appeciated. I see Mavis is at that beautiful building at the Presidio (which I'm considering).

Anyway, thanks for any prospective input, commentary or pointed directions to make our stay in your wonderful city a memorable one.
