Together with the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of these ancestors, she poured over photographs dating back to the mid-1800s and selected the best images to tell their families' stories. This historical collection of photographs is a fascinating account of how the sacrifice and indomitable spirit of these people made a lasting impact on the wineries of Santa Clara Valley. Their endeavors continue to serve as a leading example to the wine industry on how to grow superior grapes and produce world-class wines.view less
