“Rhoda Stewart has put to words a long-needed epic on Zinfandel.
Her writing is as sensitive and descriptive as her photography.
Rhoda has shown that the ‘romance’ of Zinfandel and
of wine is not only a perceived notion. It is obvious that Zinfandel
has touched her life—let it touch yours.”
— Leon Sobon, Shenandoah Vineyards/Sobon Estate Vineyards,
Amador
“From revered, low yielding vineyards planted
more than a century ago to the passionate growers and winemakers
behind the wines, Rhoda Stewart takes us on an inspired insider’s
journey through the world of California Zinfandel. A great read,
whether one is a Zinfandel novice or a wine aficionado. Nearly
as satisfying as a glass of superb Zinfandel.”
— Ronn Wiegand, Master of Wine, Master Sommelier
“Rhoda Stewart is clearly the mistress of the
Zin image. Not only does she expose us to California Zinfandel
in carefully crafted photographs, but she also creates beautifully
detailed written images of the many regions and unique individuals
involved in the production of California’s heritage grape
and wine. A Zinfandel Odyssey has all that a wine aficionado could
request: romance, history, exciting characters, and California
winemaking lore and myth combined to create a mix that is satisfying,
moving, and informative.”
— Joel Peterson, Ravenswood, Sonoma
“A Zinfandel Odyssey is the culmination of
several years of research and
photography by Rhoda Stewart. It is magnificently done, and portrays
the expansive California Zinfandel scene of the 1990s in wonderful
detail and insight. Especially Zinformative, it’s a must-have
for every wine consumer.”
— Kent Rosenblum, Rosenblum Cellars, Alameda
“Bacchus, the wine god, would be proud of how
this treatise has described his orphan son, Zinfandel. From its
mysterious origins—showing an almost human characteristic
of its own that has since touched the old-time family growers—to
the winemakers, to the present day wine drinker, this is a jewel
of a book on a grape variety unlike any other.”
— Dan Dooling, winegrower, Mariah Vineyards, Mendocino
