Book excerpt: Sonoma County was the real birthplace of wine in California. But with its wealth of agricultural abundance, the region could have become the Golden State's dairy capital, apple king, berry bastion, or even big cheese. The fact that Sonoma's wine ended up as its No. 1 commodity, and then went on to win international acclaim and comparison with the best wines in the world, is due to the dedication and hard work of people as rich and fertile in character as the soil they till. In Beyond the grapes : an inside look at Sonoma County, wine writers Richard Paul Hinkle and Dan Berger unearth the stories and histories behind the region's best wineries and their wines. These are tales of people who blend artistry, ancestry, love and respect for Nature, dreams, risk-taking, technology, toil and luck--and then bottle and label it with their own personalities. Photographer Jena-Paul Paireault, who has photographed Franc's most famous wineries, cam to California to capture the spirit of the 94 Sonoma wineries included here and displays them splendidly across the book's pages.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vineyards in Sonoma County: Being the Report of I. Deturk, Commissioner for the Sonoma District, to the Board of State Viticultural Commissioners of California Much attention has been given to the vineyards infested by phylloxera. In some instances the patience of the owners has been wearied by the questions asked. It was ascertained that in some instances high fertilization and very thorough cultivation were tried, but the ravages of the disease continued just the same. One or two flooded their vineyards with water, where it could be done, but this did not tend to check the deadly work of the disease. Bisulphide of carbon was tried, but it proved too expensive, and is not known to have done much good. Such efforts to save vineyards were exceptional cases. Most grape growers have made no effort whatever at special treatment, either digging out the infested vineyard and planting the ground to something else, or replanting with resistants as the old vines have died. From the best information obtainable, I conclude that the first appearance of phylloxera in this county was in the Dresel-Gundlach vineyard, a few miles south of Sonoma, in 1874 or 1875. There, much money was expended on suggested remedies and in experimenting with resistants. In time all the old vines were destroyed and resistants took their place, and the vineyard is now in a very flourishing condition. From this old and noted vineyard the phylloxera has extended north some twenty miles. At Glen Ellen it crossed over into Bennett Valley some five or six years ago, through which it has entered northward several miles. Three years ago the disease made its appearance in the Upper Russian River Valley, in the vineyards of L.G. Ellis and C.P. Moore. These vineyards are about three miles apart, and the river flows between them. Mr. Ellis can offer no explanation for the appearance of the insects in his vineyard, unless it was brought there with some cuttings received from a district in which phylloxera has since shown itself. Mr. Moore shipped some of his grapes to a winery in an infested district a few years ago, and he thinks the troublesome insect may have been carried to his home in the boxes returned. There are one or two other vineyards in the neighborhood of that of Mr. Moore in which a considerable number of vines have died, but the owners attribute the loss to other causes. The work of destruction is very apparent in the extensive vineyard owned by J.G. Fair in Vallejo Township. One field of nearly forty acres is badly infested, and a single spot of a few rods square was found in a neighboring vineyard. In all other sections of the county the vines were found to be healthy, except an occasional touch of black knot. The people owning vineyards on the deep sandy loam that predominates in Analy Township are quite hopeful that vines in soil of that character are safe from attacks of phylloxera, but those cultivating the heavier loams do not speak with as much confidence. Within a few days, men who pronounced their vines healthy two months ago have reported the recent appearance of phylloxera in their vineyards. In the Sonoma Valley a considerable number of resistant vineyards have been planted, but many old vineyards have disappeared and their owners have abandoned the culture of the grape. In other portions of the county there is much talk of turning attention to other crops. Grape growers are generally much discouraged - some on account of the ravages of the phylloxera, and others at the low prices which have long prevailed.
