Hardcover - 96 pages (October 1998) Simon & Schuster; ISBN: 068483930X ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.58 x 8.33 x 10.41 It's clear from the layout of Vineyard: A Year in the Life of California's Wine Country that the narrative is kept purposefully secondary to Andy Katz's lavish photography. Interspersed between predominant spreads of pastoral lanes, "golden-hour" vistas, and fog-drowned hillsides, Joy Sterling's viticultural story winds its crooked way. Since Sterling serves on the business end of Sonoma county's Iron Horse winery (while also, notably, being married to resident winemaker Forrest Tancer), her take on the vintner's cycle is brief, broad, and anecdotal. Yet the sheer prominence and prevalence of Katz's work properly achieves the romanticism Sterling means to convey. Vineyard serves best on the coffee table rather than in the wine library (Amazon.com)
