Descripción de contraportada
"Trends in winemaking come and go but, over the past 40 years, Shafer Vineyards has delivered consistent, high-quality wines regardless of the trends. A Vineyard in Napa provides an inside look at how wine history is made." -Tom Colicchio
"We all have our unique stories as to how we came to the Napa Valleyand chose to call it home. But the Shafer family history is a truly compelling tale and their journey is equally as inspiring. One doesn't have to be a wine connoisseur to appreciate John Shafer's story. His son Doug makes it clear why Shafer Vineyards has become one of the iconic wineries in the Valley--and in the world--today." -Thomas Keller
"Wine at its greatest is not a beverage--it's a story. This is the story of the making of an American First Growth. From broken-down tractor to breaking into the highest echelons of world-class wine, Doug Shafer takes us on his family's journey. It is story no American wine lover will want to miss." -Karen MacNeil, author of The Wine Bible

Berkley, California: University of California Press, 2012. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine. 'Trends in winemaking come and go but, over the past 40 years, Shafer Vineyards has delivered consistent, high-quality wines regardless of the trends. A Vineyard in Napa provides an inside look at how wine history is made.' -Tom Colicchio. -------- 'This is also the story of the people who came to Napa Valley in the 1970s from many different walks of life, how they and a young industry came of age, overcoming disappointment, avoiding making the same mistakes twice, and facing realities - both economic and environmental - that are humbling and sobering.' (Wine Spectator 2013-01-15) --------------- Carefully handled, Text clean, Bindings firm. Only flaw is that the book has been over-opened at page 124 / 125. -------.
