The Great Wines of America by Paul Lukacs
The stories behind America's finest wines, and the people and places that have made them so admired today.
"Lukacs, who is rapidly becoming our leading expert on domestic wine, explains with engaging prose how these wines, and the people behind them, have been essential to the coming of age of American wine" -- Michael Apstein - Boston Globe
"Mr. Lukacs’s list could easily have resulted in a familiar, ho-hum rendition of greatest hits, but he refuses to settle for that. Instead, he offers a group of wines that is fiercely individual, in which distinctiveness is as important as critical approval." -- Eric Asimov - New York Times
