Ridgefield resident signing copies of her book Rock and Vine at Stew Leonard’s Wines in Norwalk

25 Apr

If the world kept doing the same thing over and over, we’d never grow and evolve. We’d stagnate and get caught up in the same ol’ routines of life. But, one of the great things about our world today is our quest for knowledge, for change, and for growth. This can especially be seen when you look at various vineyards throughout Napa and Sonoma Valley. In fact, there are a handful of people at these vineyards who have revolutionized winemaking and they are the highlight of a new book called Rock and Vine. The book is written by Ridgefield resident Chelsea Prince, who is also the publisher at Chelsea Print & Publishing. It is edited by Christy Canterbury, Master of Wine, and photographed by Mary Steinbacher.

As we mentioned, Rock and Vine highlights “Next generation changemakers in America’s Wine Country” from Napa and Sonoma…eleven of them to be exact.
