Produktbeskrivning

When Prohibition took effect in 1920, only a few months after one of the greatest California grape harvests of all time, violence and chaosdescended onNorthern California. Federal agents spilled thousands of gallons of wine in the rivers and creeks, gun battles erupted on dark country roads, and local law enforcement officers - sympathetic to their winemaking neighbors - found ways to stonewall the intruding authorities. For the state's winemaking families - many of them immigrants from Italy - surviving Prohibition meant facing a crucial decision - give up their idyllic way oflife, or break the lawto enable their livelihoodto survive. Sosnowski's intimate history provides us with a new view into Prohibition America, away from the flappers and speakeasys of Chicago and New York, and into the lovely hills and valleys of wine country, where families hid vintages and prayed for the days when they could resume the craft that they loved. When the Rivers Ran Red tells of the extraordinary adventures of the stalwart efforts of immigrant families - the Seghesios, the Foppianos, the Nichelinis and the Cuneos - who saved one of America's most beloved traditions.
