John lives and works with his wife, Deb, amid the Syrah, Grenache, and Cabernet Sauvignon vines of Kiger Family Vineyard, where they focus on organic and sustainable wine-growing practices. John is active in the Sonoma wine-growing community and has spoken on organic wine-growing practices in various grower forums. He has been an advocate for innovative organic practices, such as using sheep to control weeds and grasses in vineyards, and has been the subject of articles in industry publications such as Wine and Grape Grower. Little about John's upbringing or education would peg him as either a vineyard owner or a farmer. Born and raised in North Carolina, and with a PhD in psychology and a specialty in human-computer interaction, John embarked on a career in high technology that would lead him to California and the high-pressure, fast-paced world of Silicon Valley. After he had spent more than twenty years in software engineering and marketing, his passion for fine wine that had been simmering under the surface burst forth in a life-changing decision to leave it all behind and become a full-time wine grower. He and his wife left their Silicon Valley jobs and house in the suburbs behind, bought land in the wine-rich Sonoma Valley, and built their very own vineyard from scratch. Thirteen years later that experience spawned the expertise and inspiration for John's first book, A Vineyard Odyssey: The Organic Fight to Save Wine from the Ravages of Nature."},{"label":"Search SCL Digital Archives for this Author","value":["Kiger, John"]},{"label":"Search Author or Book in Library Catalog","value":"Search for works by John Kiger in the <a href=\"https://find.sonomalibrary.org/client/en_US/default/search/results?qu=%22Kiger%2C+John%22&te=&rt=false%7C%7C%7CAuthor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">library catalog</a>"},{"label":"Author Website","value":"View <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/kigerwine/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">personal or professional website</a> for John Kiger"},{"label":"Search Author in Open Library","value":"Search for works by John Kiger in <a href=\"https://openlibrary.org/search/authors?q=Kiger+John\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Open Library</a>"},{"label":"Author's Place(s) of Residence","value":["Santa Rosa"]},{"label":"Sort Title","value":"John Kiger"},{"label":"Significant Title","value":"A Vineyard Odyssey"},{"label":"Digital Archives Identifier","value":"john_kiger"},{"label":"Digital Archives Collection Name(s)","value":["Sonoma County Local Authors"]},{"label":"Date Added","value":"2013/09/25"},{"label":"Filename","value":"john_kiger.jpg"},{"label":"Title","value":"John Kiger"},{"label":"Item Type","value":["Text"]},{"label":"Item Format or Genre","value":["Biography files","Bibliographies","Portraits","Photographs"]},{"label":"Search SC Local Arts for this Author or Artist","value":"<a href=\"https://digital.sonomalibrary.org/documents?filter_363=john_kiger&applyState=true\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">John Kiger</a>"},{"label":"Collection(s)","value":["Sonoma County Local Authors"]},{"label":"Author Name (Controlled)","value":["John Kiger"]}],"description":"John Kiger","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/ea65f72a-4196-43a9-99f7-d3b4fdf968a8/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"John Kiger","height":450,"width":450,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/ea65f72a-4196-43a9-99f7-d3b4fdf968a8/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/ea65f72a-4196-43a9-99f7-d3b4fdf968a8","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1]}]},"height":450,"width":450},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/ea65f72a-4196-43a9-99f7-d3b4fdf968a8/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/ea65f72a-4196-43a9-99f7-d3b4fdf968a8/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/ea65f72a-4196-43a9-99f7-d3b4fdf968a8/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/logo"}
