'The Mad Crush' by Sean C. Weir

The Mad Crush, Sean C. Weir (3.0)

This book was interesting to me as it describes the history of a winery and area we very much enjoy in our area of the Central Coast of California. The author spent a couple of crush seasons in the 1990’s working at Saucelito Canyon Winery, a family run winery known for their delicious Zinfandels. It is a simple story that walks through the harvest season illustrating the random nature of growing grapes and making good wine told from the point of view of a somewhat rootless young man. I particularly enjoyed hearing about people I’ve met and places that haven’t changed much in all this time. The winery out in the canyon is still very rural and lovely.
