Tender Grapes

About the Book

This is the story of the year 1998 in the Solari family vineyard at Bennett Lane near Calistoga: How the grapes were grown, the problems that time and nature threw in their way. The harvest, the fruit, the family. You will remember this book every time you drink a glass of wine.

About the Author
