Book excerpt: When acclaimed journalist Alan Deutschman came to the California wine country as the lucky house guest of very rich friends, he was surprised to discover a raging controversy. A civil war was being fought between the Napa Valley, which epitomized elitism, prestige and wealthy excess, and the neighboring Sonoma Valley, a rag-tag bohemian enclave so stubbornly backward that rambunctious chickens wandered freely through town. But the antics really began when new-money invaders began pushing out Sonoma’s poets and painters to make way for luxury resorts and trophy houses that seemed a parody of opulence. A Tale of Two Valleys captures these stranger-than-fiction locales with the wit of a Tom Wolfe novel and uncorks the hilarious absurdities of life among the wine world’s glitterati. Deutschman found that on the weekends the wine country was like a bunch of gracious hosts smiling upon their guests, but during the week the families feuded with each other and their neighbors like the Hatfields and McCoys. Napa was a comically exclusive club where the super-rich fought desperately to get in. Sonoma’s colorful free spirits and iconoclasts were wary of their bohemia becoming the next playground for the rapacious elite. So, led by a former taxicab driver and wine-grape picker, a cheese merchant, and an artist who lived in a barn surrounded by wild peacocks, they formed a populist revolt to seize power and repel the rich invaders. Deutschman’s cast of characters brims with eccentrics, egomaniacs, and a mysterious man in black who crashed the elegant Napa Valley Wine Auction before proceeding to pay a half-million dollars for a single bottle. What develops is nothing less than a battle for the good life, a clash between old and new, the struggle for the soul of one of America’s last bits of paradise. A dishy glimpse behind the scenes of a West Coast wonderland, A Tale of Two Valleys makes for intoxicating reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Showcasing 17 stunning residences in California wine country designed by top architects and designers. Through compelling narrative and stunning photography, authors Heather Hebert and Chase Ewald feature the architecture, style, and design of 17 homes—plus 4 unique auxiliary structures—in California’s picturesque wine country. At Home in the Wine Country showcases the work of many of California’s top architects and designers, with styles ranging from modern farmhouse to refined rustic to updated agrarian to unapologetically modern. This virtual tour documents a native, terroir-derived style that has evolved dramatically since the days when the region looked to European chateaux for inspiration. These ranges of styles—as well the varied approaches to managing environmental factors—is broad and captivating and pays homage to wine-country living in an atmosphere of understated, family-focused hospitality. The California wine country is a region without distinct edges. In recent decades, this region has come to be defined by its lifestyle just as much as its wines. It has developed its own ethos, one whose contemporary expression is creative, sustainably minded, art-filled, and bathed in light. It has a youthful attitude and a decided sense of fun. Central to this distinct way of life is the indoor-outdoor experience; today’s homes seamlessly integrate the region’s sublime scenery and climate with its cuisine and lifestyle. At Home in the Wine Country pays homage to a region that is ever innovating, adapting, and evolving and showcases the best of design and lifestyle in California's iconic landscapes.

It is also the story of a forty year journey of passion and history of the incredible California wine pioneers who I have had the great fortune of working with and for, including Robert Mondavi, Peter Mondavi, Francis Ford Coppola, Christian Moueix, Eileen Crane, Jack Davies, Charlie and Chuck Wagner, John and Doug Shafer, Donald Hess, Merry Edwards, Tony and John Terlato, Gil Nickel, Robert Sinskey, Ray Signorello, Sandra McKeiver, Joe Heitz, Ramona Nicholson, Mike Benziger, Jeff Kunde, Bruce Cohn, Tom Mazzocco, Marimar Torres, Sam Sebastiani, Jess Jackson, Bill and Will Phelps.

Within these pages are behind the scenes previously untold stories, inspirations, humorous anecdotes and proprietary intellectual property that I have developed since becoming a Wine Educator and Sommelier since 1982. In turn, I have been delighted to play to thousands of audiences, with my passionate, driving quest to engage, entertain and enlighten, by sharing these insights and observations with a little twisted, smart-ass sense of humor. This has been my life's mission. In so doing, I have come to meet people from all walks of life-Rock Stars, comedians, Movie Stars, celebrity chefs, politicians and major professional sports figures. All because of wine. Wine brings us together to share inspired conversations, learn of new gastronomic delights, creates new friendships and strengthen human bonds like no other libation. After all, it is a beverage of pleasure! This is a book about wine and food pairings, drilling down on the "how tos" and "whys" with compelling recipes. Dancing Somm is also about the Golden Years of the California Wine Industry, famous people, anecdotes, and a very lucky guy, who has had the great fortune to be the Napa and Sonoma Wine Sherpa, guiding wine enthusiasts for 4 decades through new wine ventures, livin' le reve, living the dream as the Dancing Sommelier.

Book excerpt: The beginning of history for California wine starts with 17th-century , but the industry and commercial powerhouse that commands 60 percent of the United States market was birthed 200 years later, the product of a Hungarian aristocrat, European grapes, and the Sonoma Valley. In this groundbreaking book by historian and bestselling author Charles L. Sullivan, the untold history of Sonoma wine serves as backdrop to the turbulent story of California s first commercial winery, Buena Vista, from its founding by brilliant but quixotic Agoston Haraszthy, through phyloxera plague and the dry years of prohibition to its present-day market prominence. Sonoma Wine and the Story of Buena Vista is a scholarly study of two centuries of California wine history, told in a riveting narrative that will engage and delight.
