Impressions of Wine Country takes the reader through the seasons of the vineyard in Northern California. Both informational and intimate, the book includes over 170 vivid watercolors. It is at once a local’s view of life in this rich area, and a story of how wine is grown and crafted from the vine to the glass. Sheppard talks with a number of winemakers and grape growers to uncover the artistry of viticulture and viniculture, and in the process, rediscovers the place he calls home.
