Summary

"In 1965, soil and climatic studies indicated that the Santa Ynez and Santa Maria valleys of Santa Barbara County, California, offered suitable conditions for growing high-quality wine grapes. Thus was launched a revival of the area's two-centuries-old wine industry that by 1995 made Santa Barbara County an Internationally prominent wine region, Salud! traces the evolution of Santa Barbara viticulture in the larger context of California history and economy, offering unique insight into one of the state's most important industries."--Jacket.
