Description:

Not too long ago, American wine was an oject of ridicule. When compared to the great growths of Europe, it played in the minor leagues--if it even played the same game. All that has changed. At the start of the twenty-first century, the finest American wines hold theirown with the best made anywhere. But which wines are these? And who are the people responsible for them?

Because American vineyards are largely devoid of tradition, American vintners have had to make choices unknown to their Old World counterparts. These involve which grapes to grow, where to best plant the vines, and most important, how to create rather than merely emulate truly distinctive wines. The Great Wines of America tells the story of how those choices, made successfully, have elevated American wine to unprecedented heightsof quality and renown.
