Wine critic and writer Steve Heimoff, inspired by Robert Benson's
"Great Winemakers of California" (1977), traversed the state of
California to record lively and informative conversations with more
than two dozen winemakers and grape growers who represent today's
leaders and visionaries. While Benson's book captured a wine
industry on the brink of exponential growth and recognition,
Heimoff surveys a multibillion-dollar business with a global
reputation and new issues to face. Heimoff has followed this
industry for more than twenty-five years, visiting all parts of the
state and monitoring changing styles and trends, and his interviews
provide an oral history of contemporary California winemaking. He
reveals the personalities, intellects, philosophies, and passions
of the individual winemakers, as well as their opinions on recent
high-alcohol vintages, globalization, and the 'cult' wine
phenomenon. Through this intimate and engaging book, wine lovers
can sit in on the back and forth as Heimoff and his vintner
subjects talk informally about their favorite subject: wine. The
interviewees include: John Alban, Mark Aubert, Heidi Peterson
Barrett, Andy Beckstoffer, Greg Brewer, Merry Edwards, Elias
Fernandez, Gina Gallo, Rolando Herrera, Genevieve Janssens, Kathy
Joseph, Greg La Follette, Adam and Dianna Lee, Dan Morgan Lee, Bob
Levy, Rick Longoria, Javier Tapia Meza, Gary, Jeff, and Mark
Pisoni, Kent Rosenblum, Ted Seghesio, Doug Shafer, Justin Smith,
Tony Soter, Brian Talley, Michael Terrien, Randy Ullom, Margo van
Staaveren, and Bill Wathan.
