A tale of two valleys - Alan Deutschman

Engelstalig boek, inhoud: when acclaimed journalist Alan Deutschman came to the California wine country as the lucky house guest of very rich friends, he was surprised to discover a raging controversy. A civil war was being fought between the Napa valley, which epitomized elitism, prestige and wealthy excess, and the neighboring Sonoma valley, a rag-tag bohemian enclave so stubbornly backward that rambunctious chickens wandered freely through town. But the antics really began when new-money invaders began pushing out sonoma’s poets and painters to make way for luxury resorts and trophy houses that seemed a parody of opulence. A tale of two valleys captures these stranger-than-fiction locales with the wit of a tom wolfe novel and uncorks the hilarious absurdities of life among the wine world’s glitterati.
