I'm incredibly excited to announce the coming of my first book "Our Valley, A Season Among the Vines". This is a project that I've been working on since 2019 while working with the Livermore Wine Growers Association Livermore Valley Wine Community . It's a photographic journey through an entire grape growing season and highlights the dedication, hard work, and love that goes into every bottle.
This book is also being sponsored by the City of Livermore and is a part of the 150 year anniversary celebration of the City of Livermore with a chapter written by Mayor John Marchand City of Livermore, CA - Government .
A forward is written my Livermore winemaker and Cab Franc lover Steven Mirrasou of Steven Kent Winery , a chapter on the history of winemaking in Livermore is written by Livermore Historian Jeff Kaskey, and poetry throughout the book written by Jenny O'Leary.
I will be announcing the book launch/book signing event soon which will include a photo exhibit and will be auctioned off to raise money for the Livermore Wine Growers Association. There will be much more to share in the next few weeks.
Sponsors Include: The City of Livermore, Tri-Valley Conservancy, The Livermore Wine Growers Association, The Livermore Wine Trolley, The Purple Orchid, Uncle Credit Union, The Livermore Arts Association, The Bankhead Theatre, and The Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham.
