The Wines of California - Softcover

Starting with an extensive section on the main wine regions of the state, Brook includes lists of prestigious "single" vineyards, helping wine buyers to understand where these wines come from and what makes them so special This is followed by a section on viticulture and wine making, which provides information on the technical innovations that have brought California wines to their level of current prominence. The last part of the book highlights specific wineries, as Brook surveys 630 of them and focuses on those of exceptional interest. Throughout, he demonstrates the wide-ranging knowledge and informed enthusiasm that characterized his earlier, highly regarded book Liquid Gold: Dessert Wines of the World, for which he received the Andre Simon Award.
