Abstract:
"The history of wine in America is, in many ways, the history of America and of American enterprise in microcosm. Pinney's narrative comprises a lively cast of characters that includes politicans, bootleggers, entrepreneurs, growers, scientists, and visionaries. Pinney relates the development of winemaking in states such as New York and Ohio; its extension to Pennsylvania, Virginia, Texas, and other states; and its notable successes in California, Washington, and Oregon. He is the first to tell the complete and connected story of the rebirth of the wine industry in California, now one of the most successful winemaking regions in the world."--BOOK JACKET.

Anyone interested in the history of American wine should read them." - Paul Lukacs, author of American Vintage: The Rise of American Wine "An essential reference book for anyone wishing to sound authoritative at the dinner table." - Bruce Cass, editor of The Oxford Companion to the Wines of North America" Read more...
