Roots Run Deep: The Heritage of Sonoma Wine
Sonoma is a valley of contrasts. Morning fog creeps inland, wrapping vines in cool silence. By afternoon, the sun burns hot, ripening grapes in a rush of sugar and scent. Families have tended this land for centuries, each generation adding its voice to a story deeper than soil.
This book is not only about wine. It is about friars planting the first vines at Mission San Francisco Solano, immigrants hauling cuttings across oceans, women who refused to close cellars in the darkest days of Prohibition, workers rising before dawn to harvest grapes by hand.
I have worked in this industry for 22 years, from vineyard rows to cellars. In writing this book, I bring both a historian’s eye and a winemaker’s hand. My hope is that as you read, you will not only learn dates and names, but feel the texture of Sonoma’s earth, hear the laughter around its tables, and taste the resilience in its wines.
Because here, the roots run deep.
