@jerrylearnswine Here are three recommendations from @Nancy
Terroir Footprints by Pedro Parra - “A Fascinating Trip to the Great World of Terroir”
About soil and more. Not just a dry text about dirt. Covers most of the world. Very well written in uneasy to read style.
The Dirty Guide To Wine by Alice Feiring - “Following Flavors From Wine To Glass”
Written as if you were with the author in that location.
Volcanic Wines - “Salt Grit and Power” by John Szabo, MS
Covers volcanic regions.
I’m excited to share a feature article in the Mountain View newspaper about my upcoming #memoir about health, aging & winemaking. In short: how Grandma Kay made to 100, while breaking the rules. It’s also about California winemaking pioneer, Mario Gemello, who happens to be my grandfather. 🍷

Kevin Ferguson grew up hearing stories of the Gemello Winery, the family business his great-grandfather, John Gemello, and grandfather, Mario Gemello, started together in Mountain View in 1934, at the dawn of post-Prohibition America.
It’s been a tough couple of weeks for me and my staff at the Shop (in short, the fates haven’t been the kindest recently) and so it was nice to taste thru a few bottles with one of my favorite reps today … #wine #frenchwine #savoie #grenache #cabernetsauvignon #rhone #syrah
If anyone has any questions about these bottles, please feel free … it’s a collection of (mainly) new things to the distributor and me. There are a couple that’ll definitely find a home on our shelves …
