Cuisine, fine wines, hot music and golf coming to Glen Ellen

Let's mix some hot licks and cool blues with haute cuisine and fine wines. Then add a golf tournament and spread out the party over four days.

That's the scenario for the 26th annual B.R. Cohn Charity Events Fall Music Festival, Charity Auction Dinner and Celebrity Golf Classic. It'll be happening Oct. 5-8 in Glen Ellen in the Sonoma Valley. Tickets will go on sale Friday.

Here's a brief rundown:

Oct. 5: A five-course dinner will be served in the 140-year-old olive grove at the B.R. Cohn Winery & Olive Oil Co. In the kitchen will be chefs from some of the valley's top restaurants and caterers, including Michelin-rated Cafe LaHaye, the Lodge at Sonoma, Glen Ellen Star, the Girl and the Fig, and Scott Howard Events.

Proceeds will benefit national and local veterans organizations, and area food banks and education groups.

Oct. 6-7: Among the performers taking the stage will be the Doobie Brothers, Buddy Guy, Kenny Loggins, Eric Burdon and the Animals, Dave Mason, the Turtles, Lara Johnston, Scars on 45, Tyrone Wells and Pat Simmons, Jr.

Oct. 8: The Sonoma Golf Club will host the celebrity tournament, featuring golfers assembled from the concert bands and professional sports teams from around Northern California.

Tickets, prices, maps, lodging information and more details will be at www.brcohn.com and (800) 330-4064, Ext. 126, beginning June 1.

What You Should Know About Comments on Sacbee.com

Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)

Here are some rules of the road:

• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.

• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.

• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.

• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.

If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to feedback@sacbee.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
