<p>Under the Vine and the Fig Tree: The Jews of the Napa Valley chronicles Jewish settlers in the Napa Valley, from 1848 to the present. Historian Lin Weber has given us a fascinating new perspective on the development of the cities of the Napa Valley. </p>
<p>Her entertaining and very readable narrative weaves together world-wide events, local history and stories from the lives of scores of Jews who have made the Napa Valley their home during the last 150 years. She examines the Jewish contribution to the wine industry, from pioneer vintners like John C. Weinberger, to the Christian Brothers Winery connection to modern day pioneers like Al Brounstein, known for terroir designations. Jewish restaurateurs, Jewish merchants and even Jewish cowboys find their place in this well researched and beautifully written little masterpiece.</p>
