Download or read book One Month in Sonoma Wine Country written by Ronnie Coleman and published by . This book was released on 2024-01-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embark on a sensory journey through the enchanting Sonoma Wine Country with this meticulously crafted travelogue guide. For the past five consecutive years, the author has made Sonoma his home for a month, immersing himself in its breathtaking landscapes and culinary treasures. Frustrated by the lack of a comprehensive guidebook that truly captures the essence of Sonoma's finest wineries and restaurants, the author, armed with a background in journalism and a passion for gastronomy, took matters into his own hands. This guide is not just about credentials; it's about a genuine love for food and wine and an instinctive ability to uncover hidden gems. Unlike typical influencers, the author and his photographer prioritize authenticity over gloss, refusing freebies, staged setups, or advance notice. They believe in unfiltered, real experiences, often incognito. The only time the author mentioned his book was over a glass of pinot noir, resulting in a humorous encounter that contrasted his unlikely journey to that of a New York Yankees shortstop. Are you ready to embark on a wine and culinary adventure like no other? Join the author for "One Month in Sonoma Wine Country."

Download or read book Occidental written by Bob Dougherty and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-07 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Occidental is a picturesque village in West Sonoma County nestled between the Salmon Creek and Dutch Bill Creek watersheds. William "Dutch Bill" Howard is considered the first permanent European settler in 1849, but he was not Dutch, and his name was not Bill--he was actually Danish and had assumed a new identity after deserting a ship to look for gold. Howard and another early settler, logging baron "Boss" Meeker, were instrumental in shaping early Occidental. The North Pacific Coast Railroad arrived in 1876, requiring construction of the country's tallest timber bridge. The railroad allowed much faster communication and transportation of people and goods, including redwood, charcoal, tanbark, and produce. Italians also started arriving in the 1870s, opening authentic Italian restaurants that have now served generations of families. In the 1970s, a culture clash occurred between ranchers and farmers with hippies and artists, but together they fought to maintain the beauty and character of Occidental.
Download or read book A Tale of Two Valleys written by Alan Deutschman and published by Crown. This book was released on 2003-04-08 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
