| MATT KRAMER'S NEW CALIFORNIA WINE |
 |
MATT KRAMER
California has become the hottest wine producing area in the
world, and it happened in less than 25 years. Now the acclaimed
Wine Spectator columnist and critic Matt Kramer traces the dramatic
progress of the California winemaking industry—the who,
how, why, what, and where. No one is better equipped to provide
insight into the ways in which West Coast vintners are working
to create extraordinary wines, and to explain the myriad developments
in character, quality, and technology that have taken place.
Kramer’s book provides the first comprehensive look at
how new approaches to wine making have contributed to California’s
current high status in the world order of wine. |

THE STORY OF ITALIAN-AMERICAN VINTNERS
DICK ROSANO
Foreword, Robert Mondavi
Mondavi, Martini, Sebastiani, Gallo, Bargetto and Perelli-Minetti.
Who could deny the importance of Italians to the development
of America's wine industry? It is little known that Italians
have been planting vineyards and making wine in America since
the early colonial days when Filippo Mazzei was the vineyard
consultant for Thomas Jefferson. Grapes were planted and nurtured
in virtually every corner of America where Italians settled.
Wine making was as sacrosanct as making bread or pasta. Wine
is inseparable from the Italian culture and is loved and revered
as the "holy blood of the grape." It is one of the
secrets of the healthy Mediterranean life style now preached
by health experts.
Here is the story of Italian immigrants whose descendants now
dominate American wine making. How they struggled and endured.
How they persisted in the face of Prohibition and facilitated
legislation permitting home wine making of 200 gallons per family.
The intrigue, the feuds, the love affairs and financial triumphs
are all in this authenticated history from the earliest days
of America to the new Italian/American wine makers such as Francis
Ford Coppola. Dick Rosano, the popular columnist from The Washington
Post, provides a good read and a well researched piece of American
history. |

| THE WINES OF CALIFORNIA |
 |
STEPHEN BROOK
The wine industry in California was founded over 150 years
ago, and by the end of the nineteenth century Napa Valley
and Santa Cruz were celebrated for the excellence of their
wines. Then the double blow of phylloxera and Prohibition
almost eradicated the production of fine wines. But a handful
of energetic individuals revived the wine industry in the
1960s and within a decade California wines were being recognized
as among the finest in the world. [suite...] |
