VINES & VISION: THE WINEMAKERS OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY IS A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND EXPLORATION OF THE BEAUTIFUL REGION’S WINEMAKERS, VINEYARDS, AND WINERIES.

THE 632-PAGE BOOK FEATURES NEARLY 1,000 INTIMATE IMAGES BY RENOWNED PHOTOJOURNALIST MACDUFF EVERTON AND ABOUT 100 IN-DEPTH PROFILES BY MATTHEW DENNIS KETTMANN, WHO STARTED COVERING SANTA BARBARA WINE’S SCENE MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO.
INCLUDING ESSAYS ON THE HISTORY OF THE REGION, A STUDY OF ITS UNIQUE GEOGRAPHY, AND ANALYSIS OF IMPORTANT TRENDS, VINES & VISION OFFERS A THOROUGH INTRODUCTION TO SANTA BARBARA COUNTY WINE.

AND YET, DUE TO SUCH DEEPLY REPORTED PORTRAITS OF BOTH PIONEERS AND NEWER GENERATIONS OF WINEMAKERS, VINES & VISION SIMULTANEOUSLY SERVES AS AN ENGAGING, PERSONAL SNAPSHOT OF THE WORLD’S MOST EXCITING WINE REGION DURING A CRITICAL PERIOD IN ITS EXISTENCE.
