Odes 2 Nap Valley

Odes to Nap Valley is a collection of poems and songs that were written about people, places, and things that have given me inspiration. Nap Valley is what I call the man in the rock, with the pipe in his mouth, on Monticello Road, on the way to Lake Berryessa. Nap, although your cousin has fallen in New Hampshire, you are still a calming reminder of the Granite and Golden States . . .

Charles Sullivan's Napa Wine: A History, is the engaging story of the rise to prominence of what many believe to be the greatest winegrowing area in the Western hemisphere. This new edition completes that picture, bringing to light more than a decade of dramatic changes and shifted norms visited upon the valley, from pholoxera-wasted vineyards to High Court-officiated territorial battles, told in a rousing, transportive narrative. Beginning in 1817 with the movement of Spanish missions into the San Francisco Bay area, Sullivan winds his way through the great wine boom of the late 19th-century, the crippling effect of Prohibition, and Napa's rise out of its havoc to its eventual rivaling of Bordeaux in the judgments of 1976 and 2006. Published in cooperation with the Napa Valley Wine Library, the book includes historic maps, charts of vineyard ownership, and vintages from the 1880s to present.
