"Judgment of Paris is one of the best books on California wine I've ever read." -- James Laube, Wine Spectator

"A vivid, robust story that goes down smoothly." -- Entertainment Weekly

"If ever a story about wine could rise above the 'cooking, wine, and spirits' category and find a wider public, this is it." -- Barron's
