The Making of California Wine in 39 parts


Fascinating series on the making of California wine:

“Over two years, Chronicle writer Mike Weiss documented the making of the 2002 Ferrari-Carano Fum? Blanc. The glory of spring in a verdant vineyard. A couple who risk a fortune on a dream. The subtle science of nurturing flavor from soil. The tale of migrant workers from a Mexican village. This serial saga will continue Monday through Friday in Datebook. The story opens today in a New York restaurant, where the first bottle of the vintage is to be finally uncorked.”
