Americans learned how to make wine successfully about two hundred
years ago, after failing for more than two hundred years. Thomas
Pinney takes an engaging approach to the history of American wine
by telling its story through the lives of 13 people who played
significant roles in building an industry that now extends to every
state. While some names - such as Mondavi and Gallo - will be
familiar, others are less well known. These include the wealthy
Nicholas Longworth, who produced the first popular American wine;
the German immigrant George Husmann, who championed the native
Norton grape in Missouri and supplied rootstock to save French
vineyards from phylloxera; Frank Schoonmaker, who championed the
varietal concept over wines with misleading names; and, Maynard
Amerine, who helped make UC Davis a world-class winemaking school.
