Heather Hebert, formerly the director of marketing for a San Francisco-based architecture firm with an international practice, spent 25+ years guiding the firm's marketing, brand identity, and positioning on a global scale.

Book Synopsis Sonoma County Wineries by : Thomas Maxwell-Long

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As early as the California Gold Rush of the mid-19th century, the first settlers of Sonoma County recognized that the rich soil and unique array of climates of the region's valleys were particularly conducive for the ages-old livelihood of viticulture. Beginning in 1857 with Buena Vista Winery, Sonoma became one of the preeminent winemaking regions in the world. Chronicled here in over 200 vintage images is Sonoma's wine producing history, covering its many wineries, vineyards, towns, and townsfolk that grew up alongside the development of this fantastic agricultural enterprise.The first Sonoma Country venture was Buena Vista Winery, founded in 1857 by the eccentric Count Agoston Haraszthy. Since then, and over the course of the next 150 years, hundreds of wineries would dot the landscape; while some succeeded and lasted through the years, others fell in the face of life's trials, including earthquakes, wildfires, and Prohibition. Covering three centuries of award-winning winemaking, this new book captures in photographs the history of some of the world's most famous wineries, their proprietors, workers, and families, including those from Korbel, Geyser Peak, Simi, Sebastiani, Pedroncelli, Orr, Seghesio, and Ravenswood.

Book Synopsis California's Wine Country - Sonoma & Mendocino by : Lisa Manterfield
Download or read book California's Wine Country - Sonoma & Mendocino written by Lisa Manterfield and published by Hunter Publishing, Inc. This book was released on 2013 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Picture rolling hills, with long rows of vineyards trailing off into the distance. Imagine the early morning sun filtering through a low veil of mist. Think of historic stone buildings perched on hillsides overlooking the valley below, and you can form a picture of Wine Country. No matter where you're visiting from, Wine Country has the ability to transport you, for however long you're staying, to a bucolic world, where exceptional wine flows freely and world-class cuisine is the expected norm. It's almost impossible not to relax and unwind here. Even if you don't come for the wine and the food, Wine Country has something to offer almost every visitor. If you're an outdoor-type, you'll find beautiful state parks for hiking, biking, and nature watching, or you can take to the water and paddle your way down scenic rivers. If history is more your thing, you'll know that the region played an important role in the history of California, and you'll find several historic sites to visit. And if you just want to relax and indulge in some personal spoiling, Wine Country has spas, luxury hotels, limousine tours, and boutique shopping. More than a dozen counties throughout California produce wine, but the North Coast region is by far the best-known. Four counties make up this region: Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, and Lake. Of these, Napa -- or more accurately, the Napa Valley -- is the most famous. Consequently, it's the busiest and most commercialized of the regions, but it shouldn't be missed. It's a relatively compact region, so it's easy to plan a tasting route. You'll find excellent restaurants and a broad range of accommodations, from luxury resorts to homey B. and B.s. Many famous winemakers call Napa Valley "home," and you can still find undiscovered gems in small boutique wineries all around the valley. North Coast winemaking began in Sonoma County, and this region has managed to maintain much of its country living feel. The wineries here are spread over several areas, so your route may take a little more planning, but it's easy to find both major producers and small, family-run operations. Sonoma may not have the glitz of Napa, but its wines rival any. Aside from wine and food, Sonoma also offers plenty of activities for visitors. You can visit the Russian River, redwoods, and, of course, the stunning Sonoma Coast. Mendocino County sits just north of Sonoma County and seems almost to have shunned the tourist industry. Not that visitors aren't made welcome. Tasting rooms are friendly and seldom crowded, and you'll find little pretentiousness here. You will, however, find good food and wonderful wines, in fact several renowned Napa Valley winemakers also own wineries in the region. There are fewer accommodations in this region, and some visitors opt to stay in northern Sonoma County or on the stunning Mendocino Coast, and drive into the Anderson Valley and other Mendocino wine regions. This guide focusses primarily on the Sonoma and Mendocino Counties. The Napa Valley wineries are covered in another eBook by Lisa Manterfield, California's Wine Country: The Napa Valley.
