By Susan Sokol Blosser

In her new memoir, The Vineyard Years, wine industry pioneer Susan Sokol Blosser shares recipes and wine pairings as she reflects upon a fascinating life lived among the vines.

Throughout the book, Susan demonstrates her devotion to world class wine quality and sustainability. From the start, the Sokol Blossers were aware of the impact that farming and wine production would have on the environment. Before it was popular, the winery did everything it could to give back to the land. This passion extends to what Susan cooks in her home kitchen.
