frances rivetti

Ex-pat Frances Rivetti lives and writes the rustic California Sonoma Country lifestyle. With 550 backyard grapevines and a house packed full of boisterous offspring, there's always something brewing for the daily blog! With over 20 years of international experience in journalism and PR Frances writes about the things which matter most to all of us. Don't be seduced by the Italian last name - Frances is as English as a nice, civilized cup of afternoon tea at 4 - it's the other half of the rowdy 'famiglia' that brings the pasta to the table!
