Vinography Images: The Vineyard and the Golden Oaks

The Vineyard and the Golden Oaks
In many ways, most vineyards look an awful lot alike. Rows upon rows of vines marching across the landscape. They distinguish themselves from one another by the composition and shape of the earth beneath them, but perhaps most distinctively, by their placement in the larger landscape. Those tucked in amongst the waving grasses and old live oaks in California wine country are some of my favorites, especially when the evening light turns them heavenly gold. -- Alder Yarrow

It never gets old seeing that light play with the field. It's the safest version of the Midas Touch, fleeting and brilliant.

That's a beautiful diverse landscape but what about all of those grape growing regions that are monocultures? I have often reflected on the ecological and cultural impact of these types of agricultural landscapes. There is not much that is 'natural' about them. It seems that viticulture is romanticized as a lovely natural process when it is largely a hard imposition of technology on nature.
