Hey Chino Chewies,
Ok so I know we haven’t had Halloween yet, but can we just get to Christmas now?! No offense, I just am very excited for the Christmas lights and to pretend like I’m actually going to set new year’s resolutions that I’ll follow through. I’ve been trying to learn French since middle school. Mercy. (that’s a French pun joke.)

But, just in case you’re not like me, I’ve compiled more than 36 fall events for you this weekend, with 13 events just on Halloween day 👻.
Let’s get into it.
Ever wonder who writes the Chino Chew? Meet me at the Wine Tasting! 🍷
hint: I’m not the girl in the video 😉 (or a cow with sunnies)
We’re partnering with Argonza Cellars to host our very first event — a wine tasting sip social! And guess what?! I’ll be there 🐮 — come see who’s been writing all the cheeky jokes.
📆 When?: November 13, Thursday, 6-8 pm (or until the party’s over)
📍Where?: Argonza Cellars, 13788 Roswell Ave Suite 166, Chino.
😄 What?: Meet your new local friends, learn about great wine, have a great time.
🧑🤝🧑 Who?: You! But there are limited tickets open, so hurry!
We kept the first event intimate and small, perfect for fall. Currently only 10 seats open out of 25 total tickets, so grab them before they’re gone!
Check out our wonderful sponsors who made this event happen!
Argonza Cellars • Taylor Winkler Real Estate • Gorrocino Roofing • Luxe Pups • Moreno’s Oven • Sip Inland Empire
Here are some things that happened around us, in 60 seconds or less:

Ballot drop-off locations open 24/7 until 8 p.m. on Nov. 4, with extended hours at city halls on Election Day.

Once home to 1,200 followers and armed guards before the Catholic Church disavowed them, the property with its 9-foot St. Joseph statue and holy spring is now for sale. Perfect spooky season local legend!
