Yovanna Bieberich of Petaluma360 comments: The second annual Taste of Petaluma, to be held Saturday, Sept. 29, allows folks to take a culinary tour of Petaluma restaurants, wineries, breweries and local food purveyors — all in just a few hours. It’s also for a good cause — supporting Cinnabar Theater.
