Celebrate the raw, authentic beauty of the California wine country living through transportive photography and the inspiring stories of Sonoma County's special community of vintners, chefs, farmers, and more. Author and legendary chef Charlie Palmer uprooted his NYC life for Sonoma County more than twenty years ago. Since then, through his award-winning Healdsburg restaurant, Dry Creek Kitchen, Palmer has forged a community of inspiring and influential artisans whose stories are now brought to life across the pages of Sonoma. With abundant photography and a curated selection of recipes, the book's twenty profiles capture the value of following nature, living with intention, and dedicating oneself to their craft. Through Sonoma, you'll travel to the winding Russian River, where a biodynamic farm becomes one couple's oasis for community. Explore a historic mission-style estate where a new generation communes around the table inspired by Sonoma's unique terroir. Visit the Dry Creek Valley, where a fourth-generation winemaker tends to his family's historic 150-year-old vineyard. Plus, meet Kyle and Katina Connaughton, the couple behind the world-renounced restaurant SingleThread, who demonstrate just how delicious it is to discover a nearly spiritual connection to the seasons; local baker Melissa Yanc, who exemplifies how passion can breed community; or Amelia Ceja, whose story of leading her family from vineyard laborers to owners of one of the most established wineries in the Carneros region reminds us that nothing is fixed.
