Wines of Walla Walla Valley (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

As early as the 1840s, French settlers brought
their knowledge of wine to Washington’s Walla Walla Valley. The highly fertile soil and abundant water were
perfect complements to their Old World
winemaking traditions, halted only by Prohibition and the historically
unmerciful weather conditions. A century
after the first settlers arrived, the area’s wine industry reestablished itself
when new pioneers like the Italian Pesciallos and Leonettis opened wineries in
the early and mid-1900s, a trade that continues to thrive today. Discover the southeastern portion of the Washington Territory along Lewis and Clark’s trail in a whole new light with the trailblazing vintners of the Walla Walla wine
industry. Taste the history in every glass
with wine writer and Walla Walla native Catie McIntyre Walker as she unearths the valley’s transformation from Wild
West to world-class wine region.
