Book Reviews of Judgment of Paris: California vs. France and the Historic 1976 Paris Tasting That Revolutionized Wine
Book Review: A Good History of California Wine
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good history of the California wines and the forces that made them. It leads up to the 1976 Paris Tasting that compared some California wines to some French wines - it gives all of the background to the wines involved, as well as the people. It is written by the one reporter that was actually present at the tasting. The book describes how this was a turning point in the development of international wines and the resulting impact.
Unfortunately it does not stop there. It then tries to give an update on the current state of international wines, and thus rather than a book about a point in time, which would remain timeless, puts itself at a point in time (2004/5)looking at the wine landscape, and thus becomes dated.
