Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sonoma County is a land of plenty with more than enough reasons to visit, even if you are one of the few not lured to her hundreds of wineries. The county suffered hard through the raging fires that took 7,500 homes in 2017, but the land and her people are nothing if not resilient. Sonoma is healthy, green, and rebuilding. We are nothing if not Sonoma Strong. Horticulturist Luther Burbank came to the area and found that pretty much everything grows in Sonoma County: Grapes that define world-class chardonnay and pinot noir grow in the Russian River Valley right alongside heirloom tomatoes and Gravenstein apples. Majestic redwoods scattered across the area form the centerpiece of Armstrong Woods State Park. Cows graze the many farms and dairies in this agriculturally rich expanse. 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. It is a vast county with much to explore, and 100 Things to Do in Sonoma County Before You Die will guide you to the highlights that make up this diverse county fifty miles north of San Francisco. But remember"¬‚¬"a hundred things in Sonoma just scratches the surface ... so plan to return again and again.

This list is by no means inclusive, but every attempt was made to visit every property that was historically significant and that had been assigned a red, orange or yellow tag through the county's post-fire safety assessment program. All properties were photographed from the public right-of-way, which resulted in difficulty obtaining detailed photographs in some cases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mondavi, Martini, Sebastiani, Gallo, Bargetto and Perelli-Minetti. 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.

Download or read book How a Mountain Was Made written by Greg Sarris and published by Heyday.ORIM. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by Native American creation tales, these sixteen interconnected stories tell the origin of California’s Sonoma Mountain. In the tradition of Calvino’s Italian Folktales, Greg Sarris, author of the award-winning novel Grand Avenue, turns his attention to his ancestral homeland of Sonoma Mountain in Northern California. In sixteen interconnected original stories, the twin crows Question Woman and Answer Woman take us through a world unlike yet oddly reminiscent of our own: one which blooms bright with poppies, lupines, and clover; one in which Water Bug kidnaps an entire creek; in which songs have the power to enchant; in which Rain is a beautiful woman who keeps people’s memories in stones. Inspired by traditional Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo creation tales, these stories are timeless in their wisdom and beauty, and because of this timelessness their messages are vital and immediate. The figures in these stories ponder the meaning of leadership, of their place within the landscape and their community. In these stories we find a model for how we can all come home again. At once timeless and contemporary, How a Mountain Was Made is equally at home in modern letters as the ancient story cycle. Sarris infuses his stories with a prose stylist’s creativity and inventiveness, moving American Indian literature in an emergent direction. This edition features a reader’s guide that provides thoughtful jumping-off points for discussion. Praise for How a Mountain Was Made “These are charming and wise stories, simply told, to be enjoyed by young and old alike—stories need us if they are to come forth and have life too.” —Kirkus Reviews “Stunning. . . . Neither an arid anthropological text nor another pseudo-Indian as-told-to fabrication. Instead, Sarris has breathed new life into these ancient Northern California tales and legends, lending them a subtle, light-hearted voice and vision.” —Scott Lankford, Los Angeles Review of Books“/I>/DESC> indigenous fiction;native american fiction;indigenous;native american;short stories;short fiction;folk tales;legends;mythology;myth;creation stories;nature;environment;place;sonoma mountain;california FIC059000 FICTION / Indigenous FIC029000 FICTION / Short Stories FIC010000 FICTION / Fairy Tales, Folk Tales, Legends & Mythology FIC077000 FICTION / Nature & the Environment 9781597142533 Brother and the Dancer Keenan Norris
