Written and with photographs by wine grape farmer, Chris Jones, this gentle memoir sketches a year in the life of a Santa Barbara county vineyard. Along the way, Jones reflects upon personal trials and triumphs, the age-old challenges of farming and the reassuring circularity of the seasons and of life itself.
