I Heart Sonoma

How to Live & Drink in Wine Country

Daedalus Howell

Through a Wine Glass, Darkly

When writer Daedalus Howell left a middling career in Hollywood and returned to his native Sonoma County, he expected to find the rural, rolling hills of his youth. Instead he found the bucolic landscape transformed into “Wine Country.”

Howell soon embarked on a personal journey through words and wine, writing hilarious personal essays on the dark side of “wine country living.”

“’I Heart Sonoma’ pokes fun at just about every aspect of wine country life, from the unspoken Napa-Sonoma feud to ‘the lethality of wine and yoga pairings.’” – Press Democrat
