“In the early 1960s, Salvador Renteria got in on the ground floor of the incipient Napa Valley wine boom.

Literally the ground floor. He started out doing shovel and stave work in the vineyards.

Renteria was an illegal Mexican laborer, traveling to Northern California in search of work. Along the way he spent a winter in Chicago, hustling pool. But the winter was too harsh, so he traveled back west to Napa and the vineyards.”
