About this item

Product details

"A standout among the drink books published this year, which ought to be on the Christmas list of every wine lover, even if they don't think they have much interest in American wine." --Victoria Moore, The Telegraph
"This is a book for novices and geeks interested in the significance of California through America's wine history, from the swashbuckling era of Agoston Haraszthy through modern Napa's cult cabernets and today's despair over wildfires and drought." --David McIntyre, Washington Post

On California explores the grapes and the people who have made California wine great.
