She Writes Press:Seasons Among the Vines, New Edition: Life Lessons from the California Wine Country and Paris Paperback – by Paula Moulton 

 If you ever wanted to grow your own wine grapes and make wine or become a big-name grower this book has so much helpful information you won't believe it. Interspersed amidst this information are the personal struggles of the author whose story is true and real and one we can all relate to from raising children, trying to make a living, overcoming personal phobias and illness, to becoming a strong thriving individual just like the vines she is describing. I loved this book. Seasons Among the Vines interweaves the practicalities of farming and making wine with the changes of the seasons and life. Paula Moulton’s charming anecdotes of her personal experiences unfold into vital details for growing grapes. Moulton ultimately gives the reader a story about life―and the emotional and spiritual development associated with farming and making wine.Everything the urban and suburban backyard vinegrower needs to know to design and grow a small vineyard and make a bottle of wine. Seasons Among the Vines comes complete with war stories and inspiration.Paula Moulton’s fresh approach and passion for the vineyard, combined with her extensive knowledge, make for humorous experiences that arise from practical application. Seasons Among the Vines is a wonderful reference to the natural progression of the seasons, from the vineyard to the bottle.
