Foreword

COPIA is delighted to host this exceptional exhibition of recent work by our friend and neighbor, the celebrated artist Ira Yeager. These wonderful vineyard views capture the distinctive Napa Valley terroir with all the richness and immediacy of a great local Cabernet Sauvignon and, like a bottomless bottle, can be savored again and again. Ira has toiled in these vineyards to create something for all who love the simple beauty of country living and who long to escape the strains of the city in body or in spirit. His synthesis of wine and art is perfectly matched to COPIA’s mission, and we are grateful to Ira for sharing his vision of our Valley with all our members and visitors.
