MEET WENDY BIGNALL FROM BIGNALL INVESTIGATION GROUP!
Moving to Guerneville in 2012 was an easy decision. What’s not to love? Nature at its best and an active and engaged community.
Wendy quickly got involved with the Clean River Alliance aka Garbage Patch Kids. Through the River trash pickups Wendy learned of the complexities of those without homes living on and near the rivers and creeks. The impact to the local businesses and the community led to Wendy’s involvement with the Chamber of Commerce. Serving on the Board of Directors as Secretary for 5 years was an opportunity to advocate and rally for resources and opportunities to the area. At the moment Wendy is focused on the many programs offered by West County Community Services and serves on its Board of Directors.
Bignall Investigation Group conducts civil investigations and offers attorney support services. BIG specializes in missing persons, locates and service of legal process. Licensed as a PI in 2006, Wendy holds a Federal contract as a health care fraud surveillance specialist.
This community, including the businesses, arts and non-profits has been instrumental in making a robust and interdependent family anyone can be proud to call home.

SPOTLIGHT ON MOSHIN VINEYARDS!
The Moshin Vineyards story is one of unlikely beginnings, tenacious hard work, and a passion for winemaking. Founder Rick Moshin went from being a San Jose State University math instructor to a pioneer of Russian River winemaking. He literally built the brand from the ground up—without the assistance of outside investors – keeping ownership solely within his family. To this day, you can still find Rick tending vineyards, tasting barrels in the cellar, conducting virtual wine events, building furniture for the tasting room, or repairing the plumbing. He was DIY way before it was a thing!
His wife, Amber Moshin used to tend bar at beloved local spots like The Altamont in Occidental, the lobby bar at the Hotel Healdsburg, and Underwood Bistro in Graton, but it was a tasting room gig at Rochioli Vineyards that ignited her passion for wine. In 2003, a wine shop owner discreetly introduced her to Rick Moshin, whom she married soon afterward. When their Westside Road winery opened in 2005, she began exclusively selling Moshin Vineyards wines—and has been doing so ever since. An artist in multiple media, Amber has also designed several of their specialty wine labels.
Amber and Moshin Vineyards have always been involved in our community here on the Russian River and are always willing to participate in events. This is why this week we wanted to give a thank you and a spotlight to Moshin Vineyards!
