A New York Times Bestseller

On October 12, 2005, a massive fire broke out in the Wines Central wine warehouse in Vallejo, California. Within hours, the flames had destroyed 4.5 million bottles of California's finest wine worth more than $250 million, making it the largest destruction of wine in history. The fire had been deliberately set by a passionate oenophile named Mark Anderson, a skilled con man and thief with storage space at the warehouse who needed to cover his tracks. With a propane torch and a bucket of gasoline-soaked rags, Anderson annihilated entire California vineyard libraries as well as bottles of some of the most sought-after wines in the world. Among the priceless bottles destroyed were 175 bottles of Port and Angelica from one of the oldest vineyards in California made by Frances Dinkelspiel's great-great grandfather, Isaias Hellman, in 1875.

Sadly, Mark Anderson was not the first to harm the industry. The history of the California wine trade, dating back to the 19th Century, is a story of vineyards with dark and bloody pasts, tales of rich men, strangling monopolies, the brutal enslavement of vineyard workers and murder. Five of the wine trade murders were associated with Isaias Hellman's vineyard in Rancho Cucamonga beginning with the killing of John Rains who owned the land at the time. He was shot several times, dragged from a wagon and left off the main road for the coyotes to feed on.

In her new book, Frances Dinkelspiel looks beneath the casually elegant veneer of California's wine regions to find the obsession, greed and violence lying in wait. Few people sipping a fine California Cabernet can even guess at the Tangled Vines where its life began.

Refreshing and gentle — a solid cleanser for sensitive skin!
Refreshing and gentle — a solid cleanser for sensitive skin! I’ve been using the Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam for a few weeks now, and it’s become one of my favorite daily face washes. The texture is creamy and creates a soft foam that feels gentle but still gives a deep clean. I have combination skin with visible pores around my nose, and this cleanser helps control oil without leaving my skin tight or dry. The heartleaf and quercetinol ingredients really seem to calm redness and irritation — perfect if you have sensitive or reactive skin. My pores look a bit smaller and my skin feels smoother overall. It also has a very mild, clean scent that doesn’t linger. The only small downside is that it can take a little effort to rinse completely if you use too much product. Otherwise, it’s great value for the quality and performance.

Gently enough for sensitive skin
I love this cleanser. I have purchased this multiple times. I have sensitive combination skin and it works great for me. It exfoliates gently with out irritating my skin and feels like a spa quality product. Will continue to purchase

Best Skin cleanser
Best ever. Deep cleans pore and I can see makeup melting off the face once you wash with this. Post results: Super clean soft skin, my face shines. Been using only for 2 weeks now, so cannot comment on Pore size reduction. Extra sensitive eczema skin approved.

Nice products with positive results
I bought Anua toner, trio, and moisturizer. I am in love with these products. They clean your skin really well without leaving residue. They moisturize without leaving your skin oily, and after less than a week of use, I'm already seeing improvement in my skin texture. It really is a good value for the price and how much you use each time. All of this with no irritation.
