Red Grape is Business of the Year

Carol and Sam Morphy’s Red Grape restaurant, now in its 10th year on First St. W. off the Plaza, has been named the Business of the Year by the Sonoma Valley Chamber of Commerce.

Chamber CEO Jennifer Yankovich called “the local dining hotspot” an “exemplary employer and top tax revenue generator to the City of Sonoma.” This year marks the 10th anniversary for The Red Grape, an exemplary employer and top tax revenue generator to the City of Sonoma.”

“The ‘family of Red Grape employees are a testament to its success and reputation as a favorite restaurant for everything from business lunches to special occasions,” Yankovich said.
