The Trincheros treated wine as a business rather than an ego-boosting pastime for the already wealthy. They understood what customers wanted and unhesitatingly gave it to them. As a result, wine began to lose its image as the beverage of the elite and became a staple on dinner tables across America. At the same time, runaway demand for White Zinfandel catapulted Sutter Home to the fourth largest winery in the country. But there's far more to the Sutter Home story than just business success. This is the rare story of a large and successful business that remains family owned and continues to operate on the basis of professional and personal integrity. Genuine, generous, and humble, the Trincheros stand out in glitzy Napa Valley for their philanthropy, world-class employee programs, and long-term community involvement.

Greatly expanded, with sixteen pages in stunning full color, multi-award winning author, chef and publisher Kathleen DeVanna Fish outdoes herself in this new, completely revised and updated edition of one of Bon Vivant Press's most popular perennial cookbook-guidebooks.The ethnic and cultural heritage of the Napa Valley is rich with German, French and Italian influences, as well as the influence of the Chinese, who came to California during the Gold Rush. The rich heritage of Napa Valley wines led inevitably to extraordinary food. The fertile soil produced a lavish bounty of crops. The combination of fine wines and fine ingredients survive to this day in the abundant tastes of Napa Valley.The Sonoma Valley, immortalized by Jack London when he translated its original Indian name, The Valley of the Moon, has not always been the tranquil paradise that it is today. Sonoma County was first spotted in 1775 by the Spanish, when Juan Francisco Bodega sailed into the Bay that still bears his name. Russians colonized Ross, a rocky inlet north of Bodega Bay, but sold their holdings to John Sutter when they faced bankruptcy after decimating the sea otter population. The Bear Flag revolt took place here, and some of the most colorful Gold Rush lore still abounds. In addition to the sumptuous recipes, you can read about these events in this book.But the heart of this book is food and wine. We've gathered over 225 recipes, secrets of the great chefs of the region, which we've simplified for the home cook. Each of these recipes is as do-able as they are delectable -- and with sixteen pages of full-color plates, you can behold the bounty that you'll be proud to place on your table.Likethe wines it celebrates, this treasure trove of useful, delicious, mouth-watering and tempting information will become more valuable and precious as time goes on.

Cookoff: Recipe Fever in America is an anecdotal and entertaining look at the amazingly extensive subculture of cooking contests in America. Such contests range in importance from Spam contests at county fairs to the granddaddy of them all, the Pillsbury Bake-Off in San Francisco, where the grand prize is a cool million. In between are contests local and national, sponsored by agricultural groups, corporations, and neighborhoods. Competing in these contests are not only casual entrants, but “contesters”—mostly women—for whom the recipe contest is a way of life. Journalist Amy Sutherland follows a small group of such contesters through a year on the contest circuit, beginning with the National Chicken Cook-off and culminating in the Pillsbury Bake-Off. Along the way, we’ll be introduced to well-known cook-off luminaries as well as to some of the most bizarre cooks, and the recipes concocted for their national contests.
