Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Napa is one of the world's most famous wine regions, but how did it become that Located at the top of the bay, a ferry ride away from foggy San Francisco, it is a place of abundant sunshine, fertile soil and hot mineral springs! Once the home of a massive population of grizzly bears, and a…n enterprising tribe known for their ferocity, it has attracted fortune hunters and winemakers from around the world. National and local events have raised it up and knocked it down, and then phoenix like, it has risen again. These stories about how Napa evolved were selected from the book, Wine Country in Shorts, the Stories of Napa and Sonoma, by Ralph and Lahni DeAmicis, storytellers, speakers and filmmakers. The stories were collected over twenty years during their time as popular guides and tour book authors. They are the ultimate insiders who present a wonderfully revealing picture of how Napa became such a remarkable place. This book celebrates the unique storytelling style that goes well with wine: colorful, relaxed, thoughtful, a little rambling and segmented. That's because the pace of the story allows time for the listeners to taste the wines and enjoy the illumination it bestows. That's how the ancients described the experience of drinking alcohol, being illuminated by the wine.' We hope that you enjoy these stories that are only as remarkable as the wonderful places and people they describe, and that are treasured by so many. A wine region's personality is not just about the topography and climate, but also about how the people living there adapted to its unique qualities. Those experiences are shared in stories. Where did we get these stories We heard them while standing at the back of countless tasting rooms. For many years there were a couple of hundred wineries where customers could just walk in, stand at the bar and taste the wines. At other wineries the tastings happened sitting down, and of course there are cave and vineyard tours. In these tasting experiences, the hosts shared information about the wines, and many shared stories.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A good map matters in Sonoma, because it is a big rural county with five major grape growing areas, filled with great wineries that can be hard to navigate. The roads don't have much signage or streetlights and addresses can be obscured by bushes. The GPS that works well in suburbs is sket…chy on those narrow, winding roads and steep hillsides, and it often does not recommend the best, safest and most scenic route. To make the 24 maps easy to use when you're driving, where there is a high concentration of wineries we've divided the valleys into two sections. There are also maps of the downtowns including hotels, restaurants and tasting room locations. The chapters on Creating a Daytrip and Getting Around Sonoma will help you get the most enjoyment from your time, while 'The ABC's of Wine Tasting' will help you improve your winery experiences. The 280 Winery Directory is indexed to the maps and there are multiple notes that provide useful details. Our insights as tour guides bringing clients to these many properties are what makes our books special! To find our other books, TV shows and documentaries, visit: Every wine tour needs a great strategy to take the best advantage of the day. Over the course of thousands of tours with clients, we've had the opportunity to see what works, and what doesn't. Here are some of our best tips! The first step is to start early! If drinking wine in the morning seems excessive, remember, you are in a 'tasting' room, not a 'drinking' room. You are there to evaluate and enjoy the wines, not aiming to get a buzz on. There is a big difference between wine tasting and bar hopping!

Sonoma has a beautiful Pacific coastline, great redwood forests and bucolic valleys which each form their own magical worlds with their own unique growing conditions, where the locals have grown grapes and made marvelous wines since the 1800's.
