Author Bio: Paul Kreider is a prolific writer and an accomplished winemaker. At times, the two go hand in hand as he summons his ever-present muse. Mr. Kreider, a former Vietnam-era Army Captain, has published two nonfiction books and is currently writing his second playful expose on 69 things one should have learned by age 70. He lives life to the fullest, thirty minutes north of San Francisco, where he owns and operates Ross Valley Winery, his biggest life lesson and one that continues to teach and inspire him.
