content: Rosaura begins the interview discussing her parents and life in Mexico. Her father and uncles came as braceros and her father worked for Beringer and Charles Krug. She talks about her impressions of Napa when she arrived as a young child, the growth of the Mexican community in the 70s and 80s, and housing that was built. She attended high school and got a job at Sutter Home. When IRCA came, she helped as an interpreter and then moved on to helping with work permits and other immigration paperwork. Rosaura also talks about buying land and selling grapes, starting Encanto Vineyards in 2006, the Mexican American Vintners Association, running her own vineyard, and labor issues.
