Description
Book Synopsis
On California explores this world-class wine region with some of the most respected writers to have written about it. A beautiful volume for all wine lovers.Review Quotes
"A standout among the drink books published this year, which ought to be on the Christmas list of every wine lover, even if they don't think they have much interest in American wine."
"Although 2021 robbed us of the great Steven Spurrier, his legacy lives on through, amongst many other things, the Académie du Vin Library, a publishing project he revived in the last years of his life. On California is a formidable compilation of essays from British writers on all things California."
"Reading this book provides a lot of both pleasure and learning, a combination not to be sniffed at."
"The Académie du Vin Library is an important publication of wine literature... every work is a must for wine lovers."
"There is something for everyone here."
"This is a book for novices and geeks interested in the significance of California through America's wine history, from the swashbuckling era of Agoston Haraszthy through modern Napa's cult cabernets and today's despair over wildfires and drought."
New York Times picks On California for their "This Year's Best Wine Books" "Its short selections from nearly three dozen writers offer impressionistic, thought-provoking views of the state and its winemaking history."
About the Author
Susan Keevil started her life in wine as a 'cellar rat' cooling Chardonnays in Australia's Hunter Valley, none of which prepared her for the world of book publishing back in the UK where she honed her wine knowledge working with Hugh Johnson on six editions of his international best-seller, the Pocket Wine Book. Susan then landed her dream job as editor of Decanter magazine (the path to many worldwide wine adventures) and later became author of the Which? Guide to Wine as well as a regular magazine columnist and contributor. The launch of the Académie du Vin Library in 2019 saw a return to specialist wine books for which Susan is a writer and editor-in-chief.Dimensions (Overall): 9.8 Inches (H) x 7.5 Inches (W) x .9 Inches (D)
