The story of one of the most celebrated Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards in California, Clos Pepe Vineyard in the Santa Rita Hills, is captured in a new book by founder Stephen P. Pepe. “Clos Pepe: A Vigneron’s Quest For Great Dirt” is a compelling story about Stephen Pepe’s journey from successful attorney, home winemaker and backyard vineyardist in Long Beach, Calif., to a true vigneron (French for one who cultivates a vineyard for making wine) in the then up-and-coming Santa Rita Hills wine region in Santa Barbara County. It’s a journey of change and exploration—at times light-hearted and ironic and at other times deliberative and frustrating—with the culmination being the creation of one of the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards and wine brands in California.

Voices Of Older Women: What They Want To Say… Why You’re Not Listening
By Arloa Jane Walter
6 x 9 in; 156 pages
$20.00 Softcover
ISBN 0-9701030-6-9

“Voices Of Older Women” is a revealing book about what older women think about life and the rapidly changing world around them. It explores why they hold back and why their adult children don’t want to know what’s really going on. “Voices Of Older Women” tells the truth about these older women—that they are natural problem solvers, teachers, holders of life stories and keepers of secrets. But often times they are also lonely and reluctant to ask for help. “'Voices Of Older Women’ is all about the view from behind the eyes of our older mothers and grandmothers and showcases women ranging in age from 50 to 95 years old. It’s crystal clear about the needs of these older women and the need for a communication revolution,” said Author Arloa Jane Walter, in the book’s introduction. “This is an unprecedented time in our history. The information age has enabled us to witness everything going on. We are called upon to help many serious causes… A call to work on communication between the generations may seem small in comparison, but I believe it is the most important of all.”
