I purchased this book at one of the wine festivals, and even had it signed by the authors. Don't worry if you're not into quilting... it's worth adding to your library for the photos alone. Several Livermore Valley wineries are featured, including Thomas Coyne Winery, Livermore Valley Cellars, Fenestra Winery, Wente Vineyards, and artwork by Darcie Kent.

The Wente family is one the wine world's royal family - in the same manner as the Creed family is well known for it perfumes and the Ferragamo family is well known for their high-end fashion staples.
The art of winemaking has been passed through five genereations of the Wente family. Throughout the years, it has expanded and gained success - enough to maintain and own thousands of acres of vineyards, wineries, restaurants, tasting rooms, tours, and even including an 18-hole championship golf course.
