Here is the book that Frank J. Prial in the "New York Times Book
Review" called "delightful...it weaves history, geography, wine,
and some of the fascinating people who make it into a downright
enthralling tale." It is the grape that has been stepped on, but
never crushed. Long thought to produce workaday wines at best, the
zinfandel grape has triumphed in the last decade, with stylish,
sophisticated wines from the Ravenswood and Ridge wineries, among
many others. In "Zin," David Darlington delves into the murky and
curious history of the wine and takes the story right up to the
present, with portraits of the eccentric artisans who engineered
the ascension of America's "native" wine. With an unerring eye for
detail (a bedraggled vineyard in Sonoma County is described as
looking "like a collection of fright wigs") and a gift for the
on-target characterization (Sutter Home, for example, is called
"the Sylvester Stallone among wineries"), Darlington has created a
classic transcending its genre.
