With all of this bounty, food in Sonoma County is unparalleled, and chefs harvest the fruits of the land and sea for extraordinary cuisine at all levels, from food trucks to fine dining. Pair this cuisine with wines like cabernet sauvignon from Alexander Valley, zinfandel from the Dry Creek Valley, or pinot noir from the newly designated Petaluma Gap area, where the sea breeze is harnessed as it blows into the inlets of San Francisco Bay. Sonoma County is for the sophisticated wine aficionado seeking trendy tasting rooms spread throughout her 1,768 square miles"¬‚¬"and for the adventurer, who can wrestle with trails, golf courses, and hikes stretching from her wild rugged coast to the mountains that divide Sonoma from next-door Napa Valley.

Who could deny the importance of Italians to the development of America’s wine industry? It is little known that Italians have been planting vineyards and making wine in America since the early colonial days when Filippo Mazzei was the vineyard consultant for Thomas Jefferson. Grapes were planted and nurtured in virtually every corner of America where Italians settled. Wine making was as sacrosanct as making bread or pasta. Here is the story of Italian immigrants whose descendants now dominate American wine making. How they struggled and endured. How they persisted in the face of Prohibition and facilitated legislation permitting home wine making of 200 gallons per family. The intrigue, the feuds, the love affairs and financial triumphs are all in this authenticated history from the earliest days of America to the new Italian/American wine makers.
