an incredible book about an incredible land

Years ago, author Earl Roberge came to what was then my childhood home on Zinfandel Lane in St. Helena, and gave to us an autographed copy of his book, "Napa Wine Country." A book I still have to this day. Here is a book, with page after page capturing the reader's attention with some visually stunning photography. The colors are vivid, the scenes true to life and captured time and again are real citizens of the Napa Valley (many of them my childhood friends) at home, at play and at work in their vineyards and wineries. The Napa Valley truly is one of the most beautiful places in the US. As a boy I can remember hiking with friends in the hills off Silverado Trail and up towards Mt. Saint Helena and looking over this valley and seeing for as far as the eye can see rolling hills of green vineyards coming alive with yellow mustard flowers. And the product of these vineyards is just about heaven on earth. The wine of some of these wineries is indeed the nectar of the gods. "Napa Wine Country," is a superb book. Extremely well written and simple to read. Mr. Roberge writes with an unassuming style that captures the reader and draws you into a place "...that was created on a day when God was smiling..." Buy this book and loose yourself in the photography, the wording and get to know this land through the eyes of one of America's great authors, Earl Roberge.
