"A standout among the drink books published this year, which ought to be on the Christmas list of every wine lover, even if they don't think they have much interest in American wine."

Victoria Moore, The Telegraph
"This is a book for novices and geeks interested in the significance of California through America’s wine history, from the swashbuckling era of Agoston Haraszthy through modern Napa’s cult cabernets and today’s despair over wildfires and drought."
David McIntyre, Washington Post
"New York Times picks On California for their "This Year’s Best Wine Books": ". Its short selections from nearly three dozen writers offer impressionistic, thought-provoking views of the state and its winemaking history."

Top New York sommelier Victoria James tells of her near-death introduction to the whacky world of winemaking in Sonoma
Will the real Zinfandel please stand up? Paul Draper seeks out the true heritage of California’s versatile orphan grape
