San Luis Obispo County Wine : A World-Class History Hardback
by Libbie Agran, Heather Muran
Part of the American Palate series
Hardback
Description
In the mid-1800s, fortune seekers from around the world flocked to California, but not all of them ended up in the gold fields.
Many settled in San Luis Obispo County, drawn by the Mediterranean climate perfect for planting a familiar crop: grapevines.
Local viticulture originated with the Spanish Missions, but it blossomed with the influx of intrepid adventurers.
Growers and winemakers like Pierre Dallidet, an immigrant who helped save the French wine industry, and Henry Ditmas and James Anderson, who were the first to plant Zinfandel grapes, established vineyards and set about crafting award-winning wine in the fertile soil of Central California.
Join the experts at the Wine History Project of San Luis Obispo County as they share the unique stories of these legendary winemakers.
