Judgment of Paris: Judgment of Paris von George M. Taber
Not just an account of the famous wine tasting that put California wines on the map. Taber goes into the history of California winemaking, giving first-rate biographical profiles of the California vintners that produced (and still produce) world-class wines. Also excellent are the chapters about the impact of the 1976 tasting, which spurred the development of New World wine regions and exposed Old World producers to innovative winemaking practices.
An interesting, but scattered review of the history of wine closures.
Fascinating and rich with history. Truly enjoyed visiting the two main wineries represented here. A wonderful tale!
I didn't finish, but got the gist. Well done-just more information than I an interested in.
