If, like me, are a fan of House Hunters Renovations or any of the European television shows dealing with old house renovations, then you will like this book. The author, a reorg specialist from San Francisco, and his wife find a rundown mansion about an hour out from the city. They buy it and renovate it. Where the story is rather different from most other shows like it, the author has plenty of money to hire the best workers, use the best materials, and have the biggest plans. Nothing against that, I wish that it were I in that position, and it makes for a good story. Moran is a good writer, you should have no problem following him as he goes about the renovation. It's an interesting story. And not being satisfied with the mind-blowing renovation, he decides to plant a vineyard on the property, and goes about creating great wine. I enjoyed his journey.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book; it was highly informative. I will certainly recommend it to others. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC.
