California Wine Map

Assembling California

At various times in a span of fifteen years, John McPhee has made geological field trips in the company of Eldridge Moores, a tectonicist at the University of California at Davis.

Presented here in global dimension is a sweeping narrative of maps in motion, of evolving california wine map and dissolving lands.
