Download or read book Harvesting the Dream written by Kate Heyhoe and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2004 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Trincheros treated wine as a business rather than an ego-boosting pastime for the already wealthy. They understood what customers wanted and unhesitatingly gave it to them. As a result, wine began to lose its image as the beverage of the elite and became a staple on dinner tables across America. At the same time, runaway demand for White Zinfandel catapulted Sutter Home to the fourth largest winery in the country. But there's far more to the Sutter Home story than just business success. This is the rare story of a large and successful business that remains family owned and continues to operate on the basis of professional and personal integrity. Genuine, generous, and humble, the Trincheros stand out in glitzy Napa Valley for their philanthropy, world-class employee programs, and long-term community involvement.

Download or read book Napa County Wineries written by Thomas Maxwell-Long and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated in one of the most beautiful valleys in the state, the Napa Valley Wine Country is home to many of California's premiere wineries. As the Native California population of the area declined, more and more of the land was transformed into an agricultural community, with viticulture quickly winning out. One of the unique features that has been defining California's wine history from the earliest days of its Spanish heritage has been both the variation of the vintages and the vintners. One need only to read the names of these visionaries and wineries to gain a sense of the diversity: Beringer, Far Niente, Beaulieu, Charles Krug, and Inglenook. The picturesque setting of the roaming vineyards, along with the attractive quality of the estates and tasting rooms, has made the Napa Valley wineries one of the most popular and fast-growing tourist destinations in the state of California. In this new book, America's most celebrated wine-producing region is presented for visitors and wine connoisseurs alike, using over 200 vintage images to showcase the area's heritage, Golden Age, and incredible expansion. Alongside these photographs are collages of the famous wine labels and illustrated maps.

The combination of fine wines and fine ingredients survive to this day in the abundant tastes of Napa Valley.The Sonoma Valley, immortalized by Jack London when he translated its original Indian name, The Valley of the Moon, has not always been the tranquil paradise that it is today.

Russians colonized Ross, a rocky inlet north of Bodega Bay, but sold their holdings to John Sutter when they faced bankruptcy after decimating the sea otter population. The Bear Flag revolt took place here, and some of the most colorful Gold Rush lore still abounds. In addition to the sumptuous recipes, you can read about these events in this book.But the heart of this book is food and wine.

Download or read book Cookoff written by Amy Sutherland and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-05-25 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cookoff: Recipe Fever in America is an anecdotal and entertaining look at the amazingly extensive subculture of cooking contests in America. Such contests range in importance from Spam contests at county fairs to the granddaddy of them all, the Pillsbury Bake-Off in San Francisco, where the grand prize is a cool million. In between are contests local and national, sponsored by agricultural groups, corporations, and neighborhoods. Competing in these contests are not only casual entrants, but “contesters”—mostly women—for whom the recipe contest is a way of life. Journalist Amy Sutherland follows a small group of such contesters through a year on the contest circuit, beginning with the National Chicken Cook-off and culminating in the Pillsbury Bake-Off. Along the way, we’ll be introduced to well-known cook-off luminaries as well as to some of the most bizarre cooks, and the recipes concocted for their national contests.
