The Wines of California by Elaine Chukan Brown

The Wines of California by Elaine Chukan Brown

California is one of the world's most feted wine regions. Elaine Chukan Brown, one of the worlds leading authority on the region, analyses all of the main AVAs, from the North Coast, to the celebrated Napa and Sonoma Valleys.

"This is as thoughtful, erudite, and well-considered a tome on Califrornia wine as you’d expect from someone like Elaine, and much care has been taken to represent the newer guard of California winemaking, its major players, and how the area collectively got to this point in its winegrowing evolutionPersonally, I especially enjoyed how Elaine explores the history of the region and how she represents its importance. This is a fine addition to the Classic Wine Library‘s classy lineup of overview books." - 1 Wine Dude
