A Very Good Year: The Journey of a California Wine From Vine to Table - Hardcover
Situated amidst the lush soils of Sonoma County in the heart of California's wine country, the Ferrari-Carano Vineyards produce some of the best-loved wines in America. Here, award-winning journalist Mike Weiss goes behind the scenes at this renowned winemaker to tell the story of how a bottle of their wine is created, from the first grapes picked by the hands of Mexican migrant workers to the vintage's initial public tasting at the Four Seasons in New York.
