Agoston Haraszthy, the 1st vintner in Sonoma Valley, Calif
imported 10,000 vines on 1/23/1862

        Oh, a fair maid went to London
        Some aipples and pears to sell
        She met a vintner by the way,
        "What's this ye've got to sell?"
                Singin' tarrin il tae aye do-a-day
                Singin' tarrin ower tae.
                Tarrin il tae aye do-a-day
                Lie owerin dal aye tay.

                    "The Vintner" per Peter Hall in The Scottish Folksinger
                    the which is sung by per Ewan MacColl, on The Wanton Muse
