Synopsis
Matt Kramer, a highly respected Wine Spectator magazine columnist, zeroes in on the essential difference between European and California wines, locating it in the concept of terroir, i.e. the effects of where the grapes are grown on the taste of the wine. The long-established European combination of soil, climate, and vine varieties has proven itself over centuries; in California, the idea is just becoming accepted. As Kramer compares California's various terroirs, he approaches American wine from a unique standpoint, and one that sheds welcome light on the California phenomenon.

Publisher's Note
California has become the hottest wine producing area in the world, and it happened in less than 25 years. Now the acclaimed Wine Spectator columnist and critic Matt Kramer traces the dramatic progress of the California winemaking industry-the who, how, why, what, and where. No one is better equipped to provide insight into the ways in which West Coast vintners are working to create extraordinary wines, and to explain the myriad developments in character, quality, and technology that have taken place. Kramer's book provides the first comprehensive look at how new approaches to wine making have contributed to California's current high status in the world order of wine.

Industry Reviews
"Mr. Kramer...is one of my favorite wine writers, provocative and surprising. In this book, a thorough rewrite of his 1992 book, MAKING SENSE OF CALIFORNIA WINE, he takes a deeper look at the ordinary, facile comparison of European and California wines, and--indeed--he makes sense of it."
New York Times - Eric Asimov (12/15/2004)
